Douluo: Blade Template, Death Omen is Coming

Chapter 80 Zhu Zhuqing: I will study everything my master teaches me! (Together)

Time goes very quickly,

The scene in the yard gradually changed.

The sunlight shines through the sparse leaves and onto the neat bluestone ground, creating a peaceful and harmonious picture.

In the center of the courtyard, Zhu Zhuqing was still sitting cross-legged. Under her was a smooth stone, surrounded by lush green plants, and the air was filled with a faint herbal scent.

Full of the breath of abundance!!
Soon, Zhu Zhuqing slowly opened her eyes. Her bright eyes seemed to be able to penetrate time. She felt the changes in her body.

The sword wound that had caused her unbearable pain before had been repaired completely under the nourishment of the abundant power. Her skin was as smooth as jade without any trace left.

A faint smile appeared on her face. Zhu Zhuqing, who had become more and more proficient in mastering the power of abundance, felt more deeply the greatness of this power at this moment. Her heart was filled with awe and gratitude for the power of abundance.

But most importantly, her admiration for Master Blade was so overwhelming that she couldn't suppress it at all.
She continued to gain a deeper and more real understanding of what kind of existence Master Blade was. His power and depth were like the starry sky in the endless universe, making it difficult for people to get a glimpse of his full picture.

Soon, Zhu Zhuqing stood up, as light as a swallow, and looked in one direction.

There is the blade with its eyes closed,
She slowly approached and observed secretly. The master's face was as calm as water and his breathing was even. She thought he had fallen asleep.

A hint of imperceptible tenderness flashed across Zhu Zhuqing's eyes, and soon, as if she had thought of something, she took light cat steps, her footsteps as light as if she were treading on clouds, for fear of disturbing her master's sleep.

These past few days, Master has never stopped swinging his sword.
Soon, she walked into the house quietly with only emotion in her heart and got a soft blanket for Ren.

The blanket was embroidered with exquisite patterns. It was made by Lan Yinhuang herself, and every stitch and thread contained her love.

After spending a few days together, Zhu Zhuqing also secretly learned about her master's sleeping habits. He liked to lie on his side, and his bed was always extremely simple, with only a pillow as hard as a rock and no soft quilt.

Zhu Zhuqing was puzzled. It seemed that her master had no particular preference for quilts.
Does Master not like quilts?

Zhu Zhuqing shook her head. A warm feeling surged in her heart. She couldn't think too much about it. After all, she couldn't bear to see her master sleeping outside in the darkening sky.

At this moment, a faint twilight has appeared on the edge of the sky, the stars have begun to twinkle, night is about to fall, and the temperature in the yard is gradually dropping.

She thought back to the past few days, when her master Ren gave her patient guidance, which helped her, a slightly clumsy disciple in swordsmanship, to make significant progress.

He not only spent a lot of time, but also poured in his efforts. Zhu Zhuqing will always remember this kindness.

Whenever night fell, when she and Sister Lanyin were whispering in bed, Sister Lanyin would always mention the changes in her master.

She said that Master had become more talkative these days because of teaching Zhu Zhuqing, and sometimes even smiled, a rare smile. Although he still seemed cold, this change surprised Sister Lan Yin.

Zhu Zhuqing felt warm in her heart. She knew that in the eyes of outsiders, the master was cold and unapproachable, but in her opinion, those comments were completely nonsense, a misunderstanding and slander of the master! They just didn't understand the master's true tenderness and care.

With gratitude and respect for her master, Zhu Zhuqing made up her mind!
He immediately pinched the two corners of the small blanket and tiptoed to the master.

She carefully covered the master with the blanket, and her movements were so gentle as if she was afraid of waking the sleeping master.

The blanket fluttered gently in the night breeze, and Zhu Zhuqing's eyes were full of tenderness.

Soon, at this moment, Zhu Zhuqing plucked up her courage again. She wanted to cover her master more properly.

So, with her face blushing, she boldly smoothed out the wrinkles on the blanket with her hands. This was the first time she had such close contact with her master. Even though there was a layer of soft cloth between them, her heartbeat involuntarily quickened.

Her fingers gently touched the master's shoulder. At that moment, she seemed to feel the master's body temperature, and an unprecedented sense of closeness spread in her heart.

edge:"."

However, what Zhu Zhuqing didn't know was that at the moment she carefully covered her master with a blanket, Ren had quietly opened his eyes.

His eyes remained calm as always, quietly watching Zhu Zhuqing's every move.
Perhaps Zhu Zhuqing was too focused on covering the master with a blanket, or too nervous about her own actions, and she did not notice the subtle changes in the corners of the master's eyes, nor did she notice his slightly moving eyelashes.

Then, in order to make the little apprentice less embarrassed, Ren closed his eyes again, his lips moved slightly, and a magnetic voice came out immediately:

“I didn’t sleep”

“You don’t need this.”

"You need to rest well."

"You can continue practicing sword skills now."

As soon as she heard the sound of Ren, Zhu Zhuqing's delicate body instantly stiffened as if it was frozen. One of her hands was still in the action of smoothing the blanket for her master, with her fingers slightly bent and fixed on Ren.

Her heartbeat accelerated at this moment, as rapid as a drumbeat.

Zhu Zhuqing's other hand paused in the air for a moment. At this moment, she was completely stunned, with a blush on her face. Obviously, she didn't expect that her master was still awake! !
And because they were relatively close, Zhu Zhuqing could feel her master's warm breath brushing her cheek. The warmth made her face unconsciously turn slightly red, as if it was stained with a faint blush by the setting sun.

Her reaction time was a bit long, and after she came to her senses after a while, she quickly took several steps back like a frightened animal, worried that her master would blame her for being nosy.

Zhu Zhuqing was stunned: "Ah! Master, you are not asleep!"

"Master, I'm sorry! Zhu Qing thought you were asleep and was worried that you would catch a cold."

"So. So."

"Just wanted to cover you with a blanket."

Zhu Zhuqing lowered her head, her long hair falling down, covering her red face, revealing only a pair of nervous and flickering eyes. Her voice was as thin as a mosquito's buzz, full of apology and uneasiness.

Although her face was covered, the uncontrollable cat tail swung back and forth behind her, as if revealing her inner nervousness and embarrassment.

The fur on her tail swayed with her mood swings, looking innocent and cute. Zhu Zhuqing stood there, waiting for her master's reaction, feeling anxious.

But at this moment,
Ren's gaze lingered on Zhu Zhuqing for a moment, then he stood up with a light and calm movement, as if the previous episode had not left any ripples in his heart.

He gently folded the blanket that Zhu Zhuqing had covered him with and placed it on the chair beside him. Every movement seemed so natural, without a trace of affectation.

"Um"

"It doesn't matter."

Ren's low and magnetic voice came, and he quickly turned to look at Zhu Zhuqing, without showing any change in emotion.

Then Ren paused and said:

"Keep going, your swordsmanship has only just begun." "Don't slack off when laying the foundation."

"Besides, after you have learned the basics of swordplay, I will also teach you some other things."

"You still have a long way to go."

As soon as he finished speaking, Blade picked up the wooden sword beside him and swung it gently, showing the importance of basic movements in the demonstration.

The wooden sword swept through the air. Although it did not have the cold light of the metal sword, it had an aura that could not be ignored.

When Zhu Zhuqing heard that her master did not blame her and even wanted to teach her other skills, her eyes lit up instantly.

She quickly raised her head, her eyes full of anticipation and curiosity, and looked at her master eagerly.

"Master, I heard Sister Lan Yin mention it last night. She said that you are not only proficient in swordsmanship, but also have great skills in making weapons!"

"Zhu Qing dares to ask Master, are you going to teach me this?"

"Zhu Qing really wants to learn it too!"

Hearing this, Ren was a little surprised. She had guessed it.
It seems that Blue Silver Emperor has slept with her, and he has probably told her everything he should tell her.

There is nothing to hide. On this continent, making some small gadgets like Tang Sect's hidden weapons does not involve any advanced fairy boat technology, so there is no problem of leaking secrets.

After all, these were the only things that could be made here. He only needed to give some pointers and then he could let Zhu Zhuqing make it without having to do it himself.

Suddenly, Ren inexplicably thought that Zhu Zhuqing also had the last name Zhu, which was somewhat related to Zhu Mingxianzhou. Although this connection was a bit far-fetched, after all, they both had the word "Zhu" in their names, which made people feel that this was a wonderful coincidence.

This is to bring the glory of the company here lightly and shock a group of people in Douluo Continent, Ren thought in his heart.

He wanted to show the craftsmanship of the Industrial Manufacturing Division to this continent through Zhu Zhuqing, so that the people here could also see the exquisiteness of the Xianzhou civilization, even if it was just a tiny tip of the iceberg.
Soon, the corners of Ren's mouth rose slightly. The rise was only two pixels, but it was enough to reveal some of the fluctuations in his heart.

He nodded slowly. This was all in his plan.

"nature."

“I was going to teach.”

"If you are willing to take the initiative to learn, the effect may be better."

"I have asked Blue Silver Emperor to collect the materials."

"Back, first"

The blade paused slightly, as if thinking about the most suitable starting point.
"It seems to be called Zhuge Shennu"

"Let's start with Zhuge's Divine Crossbow. This is the easiest one."

As soon as she finished speaking, Zhu Zhuqing's eyelashes blinked rapidly, and a happy smile bloomed on her face. That smile was like a flower blooming in spring, bright and sincere, unable to conceal her inner joy.

The cat's tail behind her was wagging even more happily, just like her mood at the moment, excited and expectant.

For a moment, Zhu Zhuqing nodded rapidly, uttering several consecutive “Hmmmmmm!!” with a nasal sound, her voice full of excitement and determination.

"Master! I love you the most!!!"

"As long as Master taught me!"

"I will definitely study very hard and never embarrass you!!"

Hearing this, Ren's mouth twitched involuntarily. He seemed a little uncomfortable with Zhu Zhuqing's straightforward expression.

But he still turned sideways and walked towards the place where he usually trained Zhu Zhuqing.

His steps were steady and his back still looked aloof. There was not much expression on his world-weary face, as if all his emotions were deeply hidden by him.

"Less talk, more action"

"continue."

Ren's voice was low, without any unnecessary embellishments. His concise words revealed his usual style of doing things, and he went straight into the main topic of training.

Soon, Ren raised his wooden sword and pointed it at Zhu Zhuqing. His action was decisive and powerful, indicating that she should be ready to accept his attack again! There was a strict meaning in his blood-red eyes, but deep inside, there was a little expectation for Zhu Zhuqing's growth.

Zhu Zhuqing was full of fighting spirit. She didn't delay any longer and rushed forward with her sword in hand!

She moved with agility and a determined look in her eyes, like a kitten bravely rushing into the jungle, fearless.

She knew that her master was an extremely hard-working person! Zhu Zhuqing's heart was full of respect and admiration for Ren.

She vividly remembered that one night she heard such a story from the Blue Silver Emperor.

Once upon a time, there was a little boy who had a short life span and was called the Short-lived One. He learned forging and aspired to become an extraordinary craftsman! But his dream was laughed at by people with a long life span, the so-called Immortal One.

They said he was overestimating his own abilities, that his life span was no more than a hundred years, how could he compare to them who could easily live for hundreds or even thousands of years? They believed that the knowledge and learning achievements of this little boy could never be compared to those of the immortal species, let alone become a craftsman, which was even more of a joke!
His hundred years is just a small part of his lifespan in front of the immortal species and is not worth mentioning at all.

However, who would have thought that this boy, with his own efforts, in just a few decades, defeated those immortals in one fell swoop! He slapped them all in the face! He won the well-deserved title of the 100th Ye!

When Zhu Zhuqing recalled this story, her eyes were filled with deep emotion and a warm current surged in her heart. Of course, she guessed who the protagonist of the boy was as soon as she heard it!

That was the master she loved deeply and to whom she swore to be loyal forever!

Without mentioning the master's name, every word revealed the master's great deeds! Zhu Zhuqing's heart was filled with pride and admiration. She felt extremely honored to be the disciple of such a master.

and so!
As his apprentice, how could I be afraid of tiredness, pain, and suffering? !
There was an indomitable force surging in Zhu Zhuqing's heart.

If it weren't for the appearance of Master Blade, she would have probably followed her destined fate, wasted her life by a disgusting scum, and lived a miserable life, perhaps living in endless tragedy!!
At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing suddenly spoke in a tender voice, with a hint of excitement and anticipation in her voice.

"Master! Look at my sword skills now! Have you improved?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the wooden sword in her hand drew an arc in the air and actually cut out some faint, light red sword energy.

Although the sword energy was not as sharp and powerful as her master's, it really existed, proving Zhu Zhuqing's efforts and progress.

Zhu Zhuqing pointed the tip of her sword to the sky, with a confident smile on her face.
The light red sword energy looked particularly dazzling in the sun, which was a symbol that she was no longer weak and compromising in her heart!
