Douluo Continent: A Reincarnated Immortal, A Flute Melody Sends Off Heroes

Chapter 34 You remind me of one of my junior sisters; the exchange competition is in three days.

Ma Hongjun also joined in, grinning and saying, "That's right, Xiao Ao, don't overthink it. Rongrong is one of our Shrek members, nothing will happen to her."

Oscar forced a smile and nodded, but the unease in his heart did not dissipate. He always felt that there seemed to be some unknown relationship between Ning Rongrong and the immortal, and this relationship made him feel a strange sense of crisis.

……

Outside the Education Commission building, Ning Rongrong followed behind the immortal, the two walking one after the other along the academy's path. A gentle breeze blew, petals drifted down softly, and a faint fragrance filled the air.

The immortal stopped, turned around, looked calmly at Ning Rongrong, and said indifferently, "Now you can speak."

Ning Rongrong raised her head, her eyes slightly red, her voice trembling: "Senior Immortal, what happened back then was my fault. I shouldn't have acted out of my own willfulness... I just wanted you to talk to me..."

Upon hearing this, the banished immortal looked slightly surprised. "Speak with you?"

But things quickly calmed down.

He gently shook his head, his tone still calm: "There's no need to bring up the past. Your grandfather, Jian, has paid the price he deserved."

"But...but Grandpa Jian...he did it because of me..." Ning Rongrong's voice trembled so much that she could barely speak a complete sentence. Tears streamed down her cheeks and dripped onto the flower petals at her feet.

Suddenly, the immortal reached out and gently patted Ning Rongrong's shoulder, his tone gentle and tinged with reminiscence.

"You look a lot like one of my junior classmates..."

Ning Rongrong raised her head, her eyes blurry with tears, looking at the immortal. She seemed to want to say something, but in the end, she just bit her lip and didn't speak again.

The immortal withdrew his hand, his gaze returning to its indifferent state: "Go back. Consider it my forgiveness for what happened six years ago."

Ning Rongrong nodded, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, turned around and slowly walked towards the Education Commission Office.

The immortal stood there, watching Ning Rongrong leave. At that moment, a beautiful black figure seemed to overlap with Ning Rongrong's image...

"Junior sister..."

A moment later, he sighed softly, turned and disappeared into the shadows of the flowers.

……

Inside the Education Commission building, Oscar rushed to greet Ning Rongrong upon her return, asking with concern, "Rongrong, are you alright?"

Ning Rongrong forced a smile and shook her head: "I'm fine, just a little tired."

Seeing her somewhat downcast expression, Oscar felt even more uneasy, but he didn't dare to ask any more questions and could only stay by her side silently.

Dai Mubai and the others noticed that Ning Rongrong was in a bad mood and went to comfort her.

Ma Hongjun scratched his head and said with a smile, "Rongrong, don't overthink it. We at Shrek Academy are the strongest. No matter what happens, we can get through it together!"

Ning Rongrong nodded, a hint of gratitude flashing in her eyes, but her emotions were still difficult to calm down.

"It's getting late, let Qin Ming take you to the dormitory area to rest for a while."

"Three days later, the exchange match between the Shrek Academy and the Heaven Dou Royal Academy's Royal Fighting Team will officially begin."

Meng Shenji, the education committee member, spoke up, saying that everyone had already made a decision while Ning Rongrong was away.

Dean Flander stood up, clasped his hands in a fist salute to the three education committee members, and spoke with confidence.

"In that case, I'll leave it to your esteemed academy. I'll take these little ones back with me now."

"Dean Flander, please!"

Qin Ming walked over to lead the way, and soon everyone left the Education Commission Office.

After they left, the three education committee members frowned at each other.

"Chief, why do I want the Royal Fighting Team to win, but also want them to lose?" Bai Baoshan, the second-in-command, suddenly asked in confusion.

Winning would prove that their Heaven Dou Royal Academy is no less than any other academy, but it would prevent outstanding students like those from Shrek Academy from joining their Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

Losing means that the strongest team of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy is inferior to an unknown small academy... This will have a great impact on the reputation of the academy, but it will allow them to recruit so many outstanding students.

The chief strategist felt the same way. After much deliberation, they realized that it was not a perfect solution at all, and they couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

"Sigh, we can only leave it to fate."

"If Shrek Academy truly has the ability to defeat the Royal Fighting Team again, then it can only mean that we are indeed inferior in skill..."

……

the other side.

On the training ground of the Royal Fighting Team, Yu Tianheng was leading his team members in high-intensity training.

Although they had just lost to Shrek Academy in the Great Soul Arena, as the ace team of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, they were not discouraged. Instead, they worked even harder to improve themselves.

Just then, a white figure quietly appeared at the edge of the training field.

The immortal walked slowly, his gaze calm and serene, his white robes as pure as snow, completely out of place with the surrounding hustle and bustle.

Yu Tianheng was the first to notice the figure of the banished immortal. His movements suddenly stopped, and a look of disbelief flashed in his eyes.

Then, his voice trembled as he called out, "Immortal Master... is that you?"

Upon hearing this, the other team members stopped what they were doing and turned to look in the direction of the immortal.

The latest novel is first published here!

When they saw that familiar figure, everyone's faces lit up with surprise and excitement.

"Master, you are like a banished immortal!" Ye Lingling's voice was choked with emotion, and her eyes instantly welled up with tears.

Yufeng, Osro, Shi Mo, Shi Mo and others also gathered around, their eyes full of excitement and joy.

Six years ago, the immortal suddenly left, and they thought he would never come back, or even that he had abandoned them.

Now, the appearance of the banished immortal seems to have given them back their backbone.

Looking at his former students, the immortal looked at them with a rare gentleness in his eyes. He nodded slightly, his tone still calm: "Long time no see."

Yu Tianheng stepped forward, his voice tinged with suppressed excitement: "Master Zhexian, you...you're finally back! We...we always thought you would never come back..."

The immortal shook his head slightly, his tone calm: "There are some things that need to be taken care of, and I haven't had time to tell you yet."

Dugu Yan wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, her voice choked with emotion: "Master Zhexian, do you know? We have been training hard all these years, hoping that one day we can see you again and prove to you that we have not let you down."

The immortal's gaze swept over the crowd, a hint of approval flashing in his eyes: "I have seen your efforts. Although you lost to Shrek Academy, victory and defeat are common in war, there is no need to take it too seriously."

Yu Tianheng lowered his head, his voice tinged with self-reproach: "Master Zhexian, you know... We underestimated our opponent. If we had been more cautious, perhaps we wouldn't have lost."

The immortal gently patted Yu Tianheng's shoulder, his tone gentle yet firm: "Failure is not terrible. You will have another chance to prove yourselves in three days."

Yu Tianheng raised his head, a determined glint in his eyes: "Master Zhexian, rest assured, this time we will not underestimate our opponent! We will go all out to win back the honor that belongs to us!"

The other team members nodded in agreement, their eyes filled with fighting spirit.

The immortal nodded slightly, a hint of anticipation in his eyes: "Very good, I look forward to seeing your performance."

Just then, Ye Lingling suddenly spoke, her voice tinged with hesitation: "Master Zhexian, will you... will you stay and guide us?"

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.

After all, their Royal Fighting Team's coach is Teacher Qin Ming...

The immortal smiled slightly and calmly uttered five words.

"It depends on your performance."

……

P.S.: The female lead is not Ning Rongrong!!!

Some plot points are really just setting the stage for later; Gu Yuena's story hasn't even officially begun yet! (Thanks to the authors who suddenly gave generous donations, hehe, and also to the brothers who voted with recommendation tickets and monthly tickets!)
