Gan Jue looked at Oscar's back as he left, and his heart was filled with sighs.

He knew that Oscar was a proud person, but what he didn't expect was that Oscar was so proud. Even..., alas!

Gan Jue sighed, not knowing what to say.

"Brother Jue..."

At this moment, Ning Rongrong suddenly called Gan Jue weakly.

Gan Jue turned his head and saw Ning Rongrong, whose tears were not dry yet, staring at him with faint eyes. Qian Jue couldn't help but reach out and wiped the traces on Ning Rongrong's cheek.

"What's wrong, our little princess."

Ning Rongrong felt Gan Jue gently helping you wipe away the tears. He was a little shy, but now he felt even more embarrassed when he heard Gan Jue calling her like that.

"Brother Jue..., my princess' temper is gone, so don't joke with me."

“…”

When Gan Jue heard Ning Rongrong's words, he suddenly felt a little distressed. He had no intention of joking about Ning Rongrong. The princess he mentioned was not a derogatory term, but Ning Rongrong immediately explained to himself very sensitively. This girl... seems to have really endured a lot and changed a lot. Her original proud look has disappeared completely.

However, Gan Jue thought about it and did not tell her immediately. Instead, he looked at Ning Rongrong and asked:

"Rongrong, what do you want to say to me today? When I was in the camp, I made you feel a little reluctant to speak."

"Um..."

Ning Rongrong pinched the corner of his clothes, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Actually..., it's nothing. I just want to ask, Brother Jue, what have you done this year, have you encountered any dangers, what have you experienced... and then..."

"Um...?"

"Oh, I just, I want to stay alone with you. After all, I haven't seen you for a year... I miss you a little."

Ning Rongrong's voice became weaker and weaker, and in the end, it was already low and unheard, like a mosquito's warning.

"....,well."

Gan Jue looked at Ning Rongrong's careful appearance and sighed. Could love really make people humble?

"Rongrong, I have something to say to you today."

“Ah~?”

Ning Rongrong looked up at Gan Jue in surprise, stared at him for several seconds, and suddenly smiled sweetly.

"Tell me, Brother Jue!"

Gan Jue seemed to have never thought of saying anything to her alone, which made Ning Rongrong a little happy and nervous.

"Rongrong..."

Gan Jue moved his position closer to Ning Rongrong and reached out to touch her hair. Ning Rongrong lowered his head obediently and even turned to the side, so that Gan Jue could be more convenient. However, the body that was tensed all over made Gan Jue know that the girl in front of him was really nervous.

"Rongrong, you are the princess of the Seven Treasures Glazed Li Sect and our princess. I am very happy to see you change your original spoiled and willful bad temper."

"Uh-huh."

Ning Rongrong was a little happy to receive Gan Jue’s praise. He changed so much, wasn’t it just to get this?

"But I feel... some of your personality shining points have also been changed by you. Well..., how do you say it? It's like..., it seems like you have no direction in your life..., I wonder if I feel wrong?"

"Not your own direction of life..."

Ning Rongrong repeated Gan Jue's words, but he was still puzzled and turned to look at Gan Jue in confusion.

"It's...it's what you want."

Gan Jue thought for a while and added.

"What do I want...? Well... I want..."

Ning Rongrong pursed his lips and thought hard.

"Try to practice hard, carry forward the sect, and then..., find someone you like and spend your life together...! Well, that's it! I want this!"

Ning Rongrong nodded and said to Gan Jue with certainty. Then he looked at Gan Jue with a bright look, hoping that he could understand what he meant.

"Well..., Rongrong, do you really like me?"

"Um...?"

Ning Rongrong was a little confused when he heard about Gan Jue’s question. Did Gan Jue understand or didn’t understand? Could it be that he was not showing it clearly enough?

"Hey, Rongrong, you see, what you said just now, the idea that the Prosperity Sect is ranked first, and then you want to find someone you like to spend your life. Rongrong, I think you really need to think about why you like me, what you like, and what I like.

Rongrong, of course I can feel that since you came to Shrek Academy and saw my strength, you have always had some good feelings for me. But I also know that this is probably because you are an auxiliary soul master, so naturally, I want to find a soul master with strong combat power to be my partner. But Rongrong, when two people are together, they can't be together just because of the strong strength of someone or the complementary martial souls of the two people. When they are together, I think they still need to have enough understanding of each other, their personalities must be more in line, and they must feel moved by each other, do you think?"

"..., what does it mean...? Is it meant to reject me?"

Ning Rongrong stared at Gan Jue with wide eyes, and water mist quickly condensed in his eyes. He didn't understand the meaning of Gan Jue's words, but after roughly understanding, he seemed to want to reject himself.

"Don't cry, don't cry, I don't mean that..., I mean..., say..., Oh, I don't know what I'm saying, Rongrong, don't cry, I don't mean to reject you!"

When Gan Jue saw that he had made Ning Rongrong cry, he was a little panicked. While explaining in a panic, he was in a hurry to wipe Ning Rongrong's tears away.

But Ning Rongrong's tears rolled in his eyes, but they didn't fall down.

"No rejection..."

Ning Rongrong stared at Gan Jue with tears in her eyes.

"No rejection!"

Gan Jue nodded, surely authentic.

"Rongrong, you are a good girl. I have always known this. And you have changed so much for me. I was too moved to me, so why would I refuse? I have never responded to you before. I did have some scruples, but at the same time, I also hope that you can see clearly whether you really like me, or whether you want to find a powerful soul master to protect yourself."

In fact, Gan Jue has never paid attention to Ning Rongrong's feelings before. In addition to worrying about affecting the plot, there is also this part of the reason.

In the original work, Ning Rongrong really likes Oscars, and after they were together, they did live a happy life and both rose into the divine realm.

So Gan Jue was a little worried, worried that it was because of her appearance that Ning Rongrong's thoughts were changed. He was worried that Ning Rongrong just felt that she was strong and could protect her, so she changed the person she liked. Gan Jue was a little afraid that if she really accepted Ning Rongrong, after the two were together, Ning Rongrong would find out that she actually didn't like him, and then... was depressed for a lifetime.

After all, it is a strange and complicated thing to like someone.

Even if some people meet someone who is excellent, has a good personality, and cherishes her, they may not like him, but prefer another person who is not that good. This is normal. You cannot make everyone like you.

"Is that true..., it turns out that what you are worried about is this..."

Ning Rongrong nodded, and then she realized why Gan Jue had never responded to her.

But when she thought about it, she felt a little wronged again. Could it be... In Gan Jue's eyes, is this such a person?

She bit her lip and looked at Gan Jue, feeling more and more disgusted, more and more aggrieved, and her eyes became hotter and hotter.

Finally, she couldn't help but shouted at Gan Jue:

"Gan Jue! I am such a superficial person in your heart?! I like someone, is it only because of his strength?!"

“…”

Gan Jue stared at Ning Rongrong blankly, and Ning Rongrong's sudden outbreak made him a little confused.

"Yes, you are very strong! But you can't think of me like this! Although our Seven Treasures Glazed Lilac Sect is an auxiliary sect, we still have no shortage of fighting soul masters. We won't let me, the heir, sacrifice my second half of our life to bind a fighting soul master! No matter how strong your potential is, even if you will become the most powerful titled Douluo in the future, our Seven Treasures Glazed Lilac Sect has its own pride! I, Ning Rongrong, also have my own pride!"

Ning Rongrong looked at Gan Jue, his eyes no longer filled with admiration, but a little more indifference and disappointment.

She gritted her teeth, swallowed, and tried to calm her emotions down, and tried to look at Gan Jue in a calm voice and said:

"I like you, but what I like is not your strength or your potential. What I like is you, your gentleness towards others, your casual and free personality, your confident grasp of everything, and your unparalleled sense of security you can give to others! But..., but you actually think of me so!"

At the end of the conversation, Ning Rongrong's voice rose again. Her cold and disappointed eyes were filled with tears. Finally, she stared at Gan Jue and turned around and was about to leave.

"Rongrong!"

Gan Jue immediately stretched out his hand to hold Ning Rongrong's arm, and he felt a little uncomfortable now.

Ning Rongrong's eyes, with disappointment and indifference, completely stinged his heart. He once again discovered that the girl in front of him who silently admired him but never received a response from him actually had a very important position in his heart.

"Let me go!"

Ning Rongrong shook his arm angrily, trying to break away from Gan Jue's pull.

"Rongrong, Rongrong! Calm down, listen to me, listen to my explanation, okay!"

Gan Jue tried hard to pull Ning Rongrong, wanting her to calm down, but Ning Rongrong didn't want to listen to Gan Jue anymore. He just struggled hard and was about to break away. Gan Jue had no choice but to take a step forward and hugged her directly in his arms.

"What are you doing! What are you doing! Gan Jue, let me go! Don't you think I just like your strength! Then why do you hug me? Let me go, from today on, I don't like you anymore! I don't like... Um..."

Ning Rongrong's struggled body instantly stopped. She stared at the Gan Jue who was close to her, feeling the heat imprinted on her lips, and her brain completely stopped thinking.

Gan Jue felt the softness on Ning Rongrong's lips, and looked at her eyelashes with tears flapping, not struggling, as if she had completely calmed down. She sighed in her heart, the big guys on the Internet in her previous life were indeed right. If her girlfriend was angry and quarreled, there was nothing that could not be solved by a forced kiss. If there was still, then carry it to the bed...

...

Gan Jue held Ning Rongrong's face, and their lips were pressed against each other. After staring at each other for a long time, Ning Rongrong finally reacted and pushed Gan Jue away.

"You... don't think I will forgive you like this! I..., you..., Oh, you hate it!"

Ning Rongrong pushed Gan Jue away and pointed at him, trying to say something to criticize Gan Jue, but he couldn't say anything. In the end, he could only stomp his feet in shame, turn around and jump off the boulder, and run towards the camp.

Gan Jue looked at her back and scratched her head with some distress.
