Chapter 46: If a Man Is Not Arrogant, He Is Not Young.
After a short rest, the Shrek team set out towards the Xingdou Great Forest. Since the academy had no carriages, they all set out on foot.
Except for Zhao Wuji, the eight people advanced in a shuttle formation, with Dai Mubai leading the way, Tang San and Ma Hongjun in the middle to take care of the whole scene, Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing on the flanks, and Oscar and Ning Rongrong protected in the middle.
As for Qi Ling, as the strongest of the team, he was naturally at the most dangerous end of the team. After all, when moving forward, everyone's attention was focused on the front, and the last position was the most likely to be in danger.
Not long after they started to rush, everyone felt the importance of auxiliary spirit masters. In order to get to the Xingdou Great Forest as soon as possible, everyone naturally ran forward, and the speed of soul power consumption was amazing.
With Oscar's sausage to provide soul power, everyone's pressure was much less, and they could always stay energetic and maintain the formation unchanged.
As for Ning Rongrong, another auxiliary spirit master in the team, she did not use her own soul skills because there was still a gap between her and everyone.
Or rather, it wasn't that she didn't want to use it, but she couldn't find the right time to use her soul skills. Seeing Oscar getting along so well with everyone, she was a little envious.
Qi Ling looked at this scene, sighed helplessly, and said, "Rongrong, you also use your soul skills to help everyone speed up! Otherwise, at this speed, we may have to sleep outdoors."
"Why should I use my soul skills for you? Humph!" Ning Rongrong said hypocritically.
"Haha, then consider it as me hiring you, five gold soul coins per hour! How about it, it's a high price, right?" Qi Ling laughed.
"Humph! I don't care about your money!" Although Ning Rongrong said so, she summoned her Seven Treasures Glazed Tower and used her own speed-up soul skills.
As soon as the Seven Treasures Glazed Tower appeared, several people suddenly felt their bodies lighten, and their speed increased a lot. Everyone's attitude towards Ning Rongrong also changed a lot.
"Rongrong, thank you." Oscar said at this time, "I feel much better."
But Ning Rongrong pouted and whispered to herself: "What's the point of you thanking me, I didn't use my soul skills for you..."
Although everyone's speed has increased a lot, it is a huge burden for Ning Rongrong to speed up eight people at the same time, even with Oscar's sausage to replenish soul power, not to mention that she needs to maintain her speed.
Finally, after seven hours of persistence, Ning Rongrong finally reached her limit, her feet softened, and she was about to fall.
And at this moment, a pair of strong arms picked her up and held her in his arms.
Qi Ling continued to run while holding Ning Rongrong, and said in her ear: "You did very well, you worked hard."
Ning Rongrong smiled when she heard this, and she felt sleepy and fell asleep in Qi Ling's arms.
Until nightfall, the people who had been rushing for a day stopped in a small town not far from the Xingdou Great Forest, ready to rest for a night before continuing on their way.
Ma Hongjun and others, who were panting, looked at Qi Ling who was holding Ning Rongrong all the way without even breathing disorderly, and said depressedly: "Boss Qi, you, are you still a human? You are too strong, right?"
Qi Ling shrugged helplessly and said the classic line again: "People's physiques cannot be generalized."
After discussion, everyone decided to rest in the hotel in the town for one night and then set off the next day.
Qi Ling woke up Ning Rongrong who was still sleeping. After she stretched in Qi Ling's arms, she said dazedly: "Is it dawn? Where is this?"
"If you don't get up, it will be dark soon!" Qi Ling laughed.
Ning Rongrong realized that she was lying in Qi Ling's arms. She immediately cried out, jumped up, and sat next to Xiao Wu.
After several people started to order food, Zhao Wuji went upstairs alone.
Ma Hongjun said that this is the rule of the academy. Teachers will not charge students any benefits, and of course they will not pay any fees for them.
"Oh? There is such a rule?" Qi Ling laughed, "This is novel. This is the first time I have seen such a school."
Ma Hongjun laughed: "Of course, our Shrek Academy, how can it be the same as other academies! I like this anyway, everything is clear and unpretentious."
Qi Ling nodded and said: "It is indeed clear, but it lacks some human touch. You eat first, I will go to find Teacher Zhao for a few drinks!"
After going up to the second floor, Qi Ling sat directly in front of Zhao Wuji's table. Zhao Wuji looked at him and said unhappily: "Stinky boy, what are you doing? Fatty should have told you the rules of the academy, right?"
"Nothing, I am not a student of Shrek now, just a man who wants to drink!" Qi Ling said, taking out a jar of century-old wine from his storage space and slapping it on the table.
Zhao Wuji was about to scold Qi Ling, but when Qi Ling slapped the wine jar open with a "pop", he could no longer speak! This wine is too fragrant.
After swallowing quietly, Zhao Wuji still pretended to be serious and said: "Humph, if you want to drink, why don't you drink with them, but come to me?"
"Nothing, they are still children, they can't drink such strong wine!" Qi Ling laughed, "Besides, do men need a reason to drink?"
"Hahaha, okay, you brat, what you said is to my liking!" Zhao Wuji said with a smile, "Here, pour the wine for me, I want to see how strong your wine is!"
Seeing Qi Ling actually drinking strong drinks with Zhao Wuji, the others downstairs couldn't help but express their deep admiration.
For this Teacher Zhao, they actually felt a little scared, and they were far from being able to move as freely as Qi Ling.
"Brother Qi is indeed a very human being! This is the first time I have seen someone who can treat Teacher Zhao like this!" Dai Mubai said with admiration, "You know, I still don't dare to drink with Teacher Zhao. "
Hearing someone praising her elder brother, Xiao Wu immediately said happily: "Of course, Brother Qi is very powerful! He often says that people should not be arrogant and waste their youth, telling us that we should spend our youth while we are young and have fun!"
Everyone laughed after hearing this, and Ma Hongjun said: "Boss Qi is really similar to our dean. The dean often said that those who dare not cause trouble are mediocre. He told us that if we are timid, we should not become soul masters."
Oscar shook his head and said, "Well, I think we will never be able to live a life as free and easy as Boss Qi, and live a happy life."
Tang San also nodded and said: "Brother is indeed unpredictable in his actions. Among the people I have ever met, there is no one more unruly than him."
Seeing everyone praising Qi Ling, Ning Rongrong pouted and said, "Humph, how can he be so good, he will bully others!"
"Hehe, Rongrong, we all know, you call this flirting, right?" Ma Hongjun said with a malicious smile, "Boss Qi hugged you all the way, how are you? Do you feel comfortable?"
"Damn it, fat man, you're going to die!" Ning Rongrong was so embarrassed that she immediately chased Ma Hongjun relentlessly, but he nimbly dodged him.
Several people who were originally slightly separated, but in the process of talking about Qi Ling, their relationship became much harmonious. This may be one of Qi Ling's charms.
