Chapter 3 Then you shall become her shadow.
Chapter 3 Then you shall become her shadow.
Upon hearing Ning Fengzhi's words, Li Jiuyou revealed a perfectly timed look of disappointment.
"No……"
He drew out the last syllable of his sentence, and tried to shift his gaze toward Ning Rongrong's location, but he didn't look at her completely. He only looked halfway before changing direction, and then turned even further in the opposite direction.
Li Jiuyou had never done anything like this before; he had never even been in a relationship, yet he was very familiar with it.
Because he was often treated this way in his past life, he pretended not to know, secretly observing and teasing her.
Li Jiuyou found it quite interesting to make such a move now.
However, two of the three who had been observing were no longer satisfied.
Chen Xin was about to step forward, and Gu Rong was about to pull Li Jiuyou away, but Ning Fengzhi signaled them not to interfere.
These two old folks dote on Rongrong, but Ning Fengzhi knows that even if they can protect Rongrong for a lifetime, what about the next generation? And the generation after that?
A title can only protect three generations at most. To cultivate the next generation of Guardian Douluo, one must cultivate them while the previous generation is still healthy. Moreover, Rongrong is most likely the last generation they can protect.
Now that someone as suitable as Li Jiuyou has appeared in all aspects, Ning Fengzhi will not allow anyone to stop his plans.
"Uncle Ning tells you that to become a qualified shadow, you need to find someone you are willing to protect, otherwise you cannot become a qualified shadow."
Upon hearing Ning Fengzhi's words, Li Jiuyou thought to himself, "Why is this guy even more anxious than me?"
That's too fast.
However, Li Jiuyou still caught up, and he immediately asked:
"So how can I become a qualified shadow?"
"It's very simple..."
Before Ning Fengzhi could finish speaking, his daughter grabbed Li Jiuyou's hand again and said, "Just follow me! I have a support martial soul, and you have a sword martial soul. We'll be like Grandpa Sword and Dad!"
Ning Fengzhi thought to himself that his daughter was really a great helper; she was indeed his daughter.
That's talent!
Li Jiuyou had a bad feeling; his face wasn't even that red anymore.
He immediately lowered his head again and repeated the action of holding his breath.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Ning Rongrong shook his hand and asked:
"What's wrong? You don't need to feel inferior because you're not good enough for me. I'll wait for you!"
Ning Rongrong's thinking was simple: she was a support character, and her father said he wanted to find an offensive character to protect her. This guy looked good, was also an offensive genius, and was a good match for her father and Grandpa Jian.
"Rongrong, where's your bone grandpa?"
Hearing Gu Rong's somewhat sad words, Ning Rongrong felt at a loss.
Her brain wasn't yet capable of handling such complex thought, so she could only reply nonsensically:
"Then, I'll find another person with a bone spirit to protect me alongside Xiao Jiuyou..."
Gu Rong felt calmer.
Ning Fengzhi kept a close eye on Li Jiuyou's movements and expressions, his gaze never wavering.
It seems like that's possible.
But when Ning Rongrong said she needed to find someone else, why didn't the child look disappointed?
Ning Fengzhi thought for a moment. Perhaps the child didn't know what love meant. Li Jiuyou just thought his daughter was cute and didn't have any other thoughts at the moment...
That's fine too; it's normal for children to behave this way.
You can completely guide yourself.
"Rongrong, look at your feet."
Ning Rongrong was puzzled, but she did as instructed anyway, and still didn't know what was going on.
"Rongrong, a person can only have one shadow!"
Ning Rongrong suddenly realized.
Li Jiuyou thought to himself, "Do you really treat me like a child?"
But whatever, he couldn't be bothered to dwell on it anymore. He was getting too frustrated and looked up, saying:
"Uncle Ning, then I can protect you..."
"Her name is Rongrong, Ning Rongrong."
Li Jiuyou nodded and asked, "Then can I become Ning Rongrong's shadow?"
"You should call her Sister Rongrong!"
Ning Rongrong quickly corrected herself on Li Jiuyou's form of address, as she subconsciously felt that Li Jiuyou could only be a follower.
How can a lackey call himself by his own name?
"Then you will become her shadow."
However, Ning Fengzhi ignored such minor details and directly stated, "Remember to cultivate diligently so you can protect Rongrong!"
Li Jiuyou nodded heavily.
This is exactly what I expected.
Now that I have the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School as my protection, I can develop in peace to a certain extent.
Moreover, Ning Fengzhi is an ambitious person. Although he says that the three upper sects are of one mind, he has always wanted to become the most powerful sect.
All I need to do is guide Ning Fengzhi at the right time, let his ambition grow even bigger, and make him strive to become the strongest force on the entire continent, ideally even to establish a nation.
In this way, one can exist as a protector and strategist in secret, and one's role would be greatly enhanced.
The more Li Jiuyou thought about it, the more he felt it was a good idea.
He could barely suppress the smile on his face.
No!
You can't laugh yet!
This is just the beginning; it will be a long time before we realize what we envision.
Ning Rongrong and Li Jiuyou were about the same height. She watched Li Jiuyou try to laugh but held it back after hearing that he could protect her, and found it quite amusing.
This was the first time, apart from her father and two grandfathers, that someone had wanted to protect her and was happy to be able to.
Ok……
This way, he can become the number one follower, but becoming the only follower is not enough.
Ning Rongrong is still thinking about finding more followers, preferably like Li Jiuyou.
After the matter was quickly settled, Ning Fengzhi's mood improved.
Yesterday, his daughter Ning Rongrong awakened the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda with innate level nine soul power, which made him very happy. Today, Uncle Gu also brought a sword spirit master with innate full soul power whose background is so clean and who seems to like his daughter.
Ning Fengzhi knew all too well the power of sword cultivators.
The feeling of assisting Chen Xin was different from when he was assisting others; it was as if he himself could roam the continent freely.
Ning Fengzhi turned his gaze to Chen Xin.
Chen Xin had no choice but to come over anyway.
Although the shadow is under the jurisdiction of Gu Rong, it is clear that Ning Fengzhi has only given Li Jiuyou the title of shadow. Everyone knows what he means; it's practically written on his face.
Although he hadn't encountered a sword-wielding soul master with innate full soul power in recent years, Chen Xin wasn't that interested.
On the one hand, Li Jiuyou's sword clearly has its own attributes, unlike his own, so he cannot be Li Jiuyou's teacher; at most, he can only teach him some basic things.
There is another aspect.
Chen Xin felt displeased seeing Li Jiuyou still holding hands with Ning Rongrong.
Even though she's not my own daughter, I'm still really annoyed!
"Kid."
Chen Xin walked to Li Jiuyou's side and lifted him up.
Then he brought his face close to Li Jiuyou's and asked, "Do you want to learn swordsmanship from me?"
Learn swordsmanship?
Li Jiuyou was taken aback.
His plan is to learn the Longquan Seven Star Sword Technique, which is best suited for the Longquan Sword. But can he also learn the moves of the Seven Kill Sword?
It'll probably get confusing.
Although strictly speaking, it's fine as long as they're not contradictory, Li Jiuyou, who hasn't even started learning yet, is completely clueless, so he's naturally a little worried.
