Douluo Continent: Ning Rongrong? Even a dog wouldn't chase her.

Ning Fengzhi nodded with satisfaction.

Fortunately, the child is currently depressed, his intelligence is impaired, and he's easily fooled.

Otherwise, the future of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School would be ruined in her hands!

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is currently facing a talent shortage, and it's not easy for them to let a genius like Gu Yi slip away like this.

I thought that with Rongrong around, Gu Yi would definitely stay in the sect, but I never expected that he would cause such a mess.

If Gu Yizhen leaves, then the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School... is in grave danger!

"Let's go back to the academy and apologize to Gu Yi properly."

"Otherwise, your plan won't be able to proceed."

Ning Fengzhi stood up with a smile and extended his right hand to Ning Rongrong on the bed.

"No, Dad, wait for me. I'll go change my clothes and wash my face first."

"I must reappear before him in my most beautiful form!"

"I will make Gu Yi regret this!"

……

Shrek Academy, Academy Square.

"Hahaha~ How long will this last? If this keeps up, I'm going to lose weight."

Ma Hongjun lay on the ground, nearly exhausted, panting heavily as he complained.

Zhao Wuji was exceptionally ruthless today; the pressure was much greater than yesterday.

"I don't know, I just can't take it anymore, and I really don't know how Gu Yi could be so strong!"

"I'm only sweating a little now, but I'm fine."

Oscar also embraced Mother Earth, speaking while looking at Gu Yi with envy.

Dai Mubai was in slightly better condition than the other two; at least he could still stand, but he didn't seem very happy. His eyes were fixed on Gu Yi with resentment, and it was unclear what he was thinking.

On the other side, on the platform in the square, Zhu Zhuqing and Gu Yi were sitting there, resting and enjoying the cool breeze.

"Next time you really can't take it anymore, don't push yourself. Exercise is good, but you have to do it within your limits."

"Hold on as long as you can, but don't push yourself, understand?"

Gu Yi looked at Zhu Zhuqing beside him with some heartache and gently advised her.

"I understand, but that gives me a reason to lean on your shoulder a little longer."

A happy smile graced Zhu Zhuqing's pale face. Despite her various physical discomforts, just leaning against him like this filled her heart with a warm sense of happiness.

"This is your spot. You can lean on it if you want. No one will take it from you, and no one can take it from you."

Gu Yi smiled and spoke softly.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing did not speak, but silently responded in her heart.

'I know.

The two sat there on the platform, like a beautiful sight; a tranquil and peaceful afternoon should be just like this.

Nearby, Oscar and Ma Hongjun were still lying on the ground, their eyes filled with longing and yearning as they looked at Gu Yi and his companion with envy.

At this moment, Dai Mubai's resentful eyes were filled with even more anger.

"Hold on! Dai Mubai, don't act impulsively. Now is not the time. It will be soon. Just wait a little longer."

He had been suppressing his anger to avoid revealing himself in a moment of impulsiveness.

But seeing the two of them so lovey-dovey every day, Dai Mubai was really worried that one day he wouldn't be able to hold back!

He just wished time would pass faster, otherwise, his back molars would break and his palms would be torn to shreds!

"Yi'er, Grandpa has come to see you."

Suddenly, a slightly aged voice rang in everyone's ears.

Immediately afterwards, the space in the center of the square distorted, and a figure in black robes suddenly appeared in everyone's sight.

He was a middle-aged man with jet-black hair and a robust build. When he appeared, a sense of oppression instantly spread throughout the room.

Seeing the familiar figure before him, Gu Yi couldn't help but feel a tremor in his heart.

"grandfather?"

Chapter 39 Gu Yi, I'm sorry!

'grandfather?'

'Holy crap! Is this Gu Yi's grandfather? The Bone Douluo with the best defense in the world! He's so cool!'

Ma Hongjun and Oscar had the same thought at the same time, their eyes filled with admiration and curiosity.

Zhu Zhuqing, who was leaning on Gu Yi's shoulder, slowly raised her head. She was inevitably a little nervous. Her right hand unconsciously gripped the platform next to her, and she was somewhat at a loss.

Dai Mubai was the calmest one. He stood still, without moving, and there was no sign of tension or embarrassment in his eyes.

Although Gu Yi was a little nervous, he didn't show it. He quickly stood up from the platform, walked slowly to Gu Rong, and tentatively asked, "Grandpa, why did you suddenly come here?"

"I came to see you, kid. What? Don't you want to see your grandpa?" Gu Rong teased, feigning anger.

"No, I thought you came for Ning Rongrong and just happened to see me," Gu Yi shook his head and explained calmly.

"Ahem... How could that be? Although I like Rongrong, you're still my most beloved grandson." Gu Rong scratched his head guiltily and laughed awkwardly.

"Oh, really? Then I'm relieved. I thought you would punish me for Ning Rongrong's sake."

"After all, it was I who made her cry."

Gu Yi revealed a sly smile and patted his chest as if to reassure himself.

"How could that be..." Gu Rong's smile froze on his face. After a moment of stunned silence, he asked in shock, "Wait! What did you just say?"

"You're the one who made Rongrong cry? How could that be?"

How could he not understand his own grandson? He had been smitten with Ning Rongrong since he was little. Although the process was difficult and embarrassing, the result was ultimately good.

Because of Ning Rongrong, his grandson cultivated with extraordinary diligence, basically working without sleep or rest, which is why he became a 'Twelve-Year-Old Soul Master'.

Although the rumors circulating in the sect were unpleasant, he didn't care, as long as his grandson was happy.

Therefore, he didn't pay much attention to the relationship between Gu Yi and Ning Rongrong, and simply let them develop on their own.

This development took five years!

Now you're telling me you made Ning Rongrong cry by yelling at her? Who would believe that? Would you really do that?

"Nothing is impossible. I don't like her anymore, and I have better options."

Gu Yi's expression remained calm. As he spoke, he glanced back at Zhu Zhuqing, the meaning of which was self-evident.

"Ok?"

Gu Rong frowned and followed Gu Yi's gaze, only to see Zhu Zhuqing nodding at him.

Upon seeing this, Gu Rong quickly responded with a smile, but then his face darkened, and he swiftly grabbed Gu Yi's shoulder with his right hand. The next moment, the two of them vanished from the square.

"Huh? Where did they go?" Oscar asked curiously.

We're enjoying this exciting moment right now, how can we stop now?

"I don't know, maybe there's something they can't tell us."

Ma Hongjun sighed silently, his face full of disappointment.

Dai Mubai, however, didn't care at all; the whole thing was related to...

He has absolutely no connection to this.

And so, the three of them parted ways, having rested enough, and it was time to go back for a medicinal bath.

Zhu Zhuqing was still sitting nervously on the platform. Although Gu Rong's departure made her feel a little more relaxed, her mind was now entirely on the two of them.

She was now very curious about what the two were talking about, and what Gu Rong's first impression of her was. Would Gu Rong stop her from being with Gu Yi?

Thinking about all this made her unable to calm down; she felt both curious and nervous!

She wanted to wait here for Gu Yi to return, hoping he would bring back his answer.

……

At the entrance of Shrek Academy.

As soon as Gu Yi opened his eyes, he saw Gu Rong's anxious and conflicted face, who was staring at him.

"What exactly are you trying to do now? You chased me for so long, why aren't you chasing me now? What was your intention before?"

Gu Rong asked, puzzled.

"It's precisely because I've been hurt so much before that I want to give up now. Deep love isn't enough; mutual love is what brings us together."

Gu Yi remained calm and explained indifferently.

"You..." Gu Rong was speechless for a moment, then asked, "What about Rongrong? If she's not with you, how can I entrust her to someone else?"

“She has her own opportunities, which have nothing to do with me. Right now, I just want to be with Zhu Qing in peace,” Gu Yi replied softly.

"Sigh~" Gu Rong sighed, "You...you've really given up?"

Gu Yi nodded, which was his answer.

Seeing the resolute look in Gu Yi's eyes, Gu Rong felt helpless. After pondering for a moment, he placed his hand on Gu Yi's shoulder again and said softly:

"Alright, Yi'er, I support your decision. Although Grandpa likes Rongrong, you are the most important person in my heart."

Gu Rong does like Ning Rongrong very much, but clearly, his grandson's happiness is what he values ​​most. Since Gu Yi has made his decision, he, as the grandfather, can only support him unconditionally.

Both are equally dear to her, but Gu Rong is willing to cherish and protect Gu Yi. As for Ning Rongrong, there are many others who love her.

Gu Yike only has one grandfather, and he only has one grandson.

"Thank you, Grandpa." Gu Yi smiled and sincerely expressed his gratitude.

"Hey! Don't try to play these tricks on me. You'd better figure out how to deal with your Uncle Ning first, he's here too."
