"Become my disciple?" Looking at Zhu Zhuqing's serious expression, Gu Ye confirmed that he was pointing at himself.
"Yes." Zhu Zhuqing nodded firmly.
"Why?" Gu Ye looked at Zhu Zhuqing with some confusion.
To be honest, in terms of age, Gu Ye is only a few years older than Zhu Zhuqing, and his strength and knowledge are also higher than hers. He just wanted to train Zhu Zhuqing, so why did Zhu Zhuqing suddenly want to become his disciple?
Could it be that she was conquered by his wisdom and prowess?
"I want to become stronger, much stronger, strong enough to break free from the shackles of my own destiny." Zhu Zhuqing clenched her fist, her expression serious, without a trace of joking.
She saw hope in Gu Ye, and it was Gu Ye who gave her that hope.
Seeing this hope, she also wanted someone to rely on, so she wanted to become Gu Ye's apprentice.
She knew that Gu Ye must be very strong, both in terms of knowledge and insights, and could be her teacher.
Gu Ye fell silent.
"I know you may not be able to reach my level, but I can try my best. Gu Ye, can you be my teacher?" Zhu Zhuqing looked at Gu Ye expectantly.
After considering it for a moment, Gu Ye finally nodded.
Upon seeing this, Zhu Zhuqing's face lit up with joy.
But the next second, Gu Ye shook his head again.
Zhu Zhuqing's joy turned to sadness.
"Why? Is it because I'm too incompetent?" Zhu Zhuqing asked, feeling somewhat down.
"No, if you really want to become my apprentice, I don't care about your aptitude, because no matter how bad your aptitude is, I can make you a top genius in this world."
"Then why didn't you agree?" Zhu Zhuqing lowered her eyes sadly after being rejected.
"Zhu Qing, I can take you as my disciple, but not now, but after we return from the Star Dou Great Forest."
"Really?" Zhu Zhuqing was overjoyed again upon hearing Gu Ye's words.
"Well, you'll be going to the Star Dou Great Forest with Shrek Academy this time. Consider it a test for you. If your third spirit ring meets my expectations, I'll take you as my disciple when we return. After that, I'll train you to become the strongest person in the world, strong enough for you to easily break free from the so-called shackles of fate. Are you willing?"
"Yes, I will do it." Zhu Zhuqing suppressed her joy and nodded earnestly.
Looking at Zhu Zhuqing in front of him, Gu Ye gave a bitter smile to his heart.
He originally intended to nurture Zhu Zhuqing into a capable person, then slowly melt her cold heart, and finally devour her step by step.
I never expected that they would now want to take her as their apprentice.
However, taking on apprentices seems like a good idea.
First, train Zhu Zhuqing to become a strong person; having the status of master and disciple would make it easier to get along with her...
For some reason, at this moment, when Gu Ye looked at Zhu Zhuqing, he suddenly thought of Bibi Dong.
Finally, Gu Ye made up his mind and accepted Zhu Zhuqing as his disciple.
"Zhu Qing, since you are about to set off for the Star Dou Great Forest, there will definitely be dangers there. I will give you two more things to protect yourself. Come with me."
Gu Ye knew what Zhu Zhuqing would encounter on her journey to Xingdou. Since he was going to take Zhu Zhuqing as his disciple, he naturally couldn't ignore his future disciple.
"Um."
Zhu Zhuqing nodded, got up and followed Gu Ye.
Gu Ye went to the medicine shelf, rummaged around for a bit, and then took out a needle.
The needle contains a red liquid with a powerful neurotoxin. It was extracted by Gu Ye based on his medical knowledge from his previous life and his surgical space ability. In the fantastical, sewer-like world of Douluo, its power is exceptionally strong.
He placed the needle in Zhu Zhuqing's hand, his expression slightly serious, and said, "This is a nerve paralysis toxin, very potent. If you encounter any life-threatening danger, don't hesitate to use it. The method of use is the same as the one I gave you last time."
"Thank you, teacher." Zhu Zhuqing looked at it, put it away, and didn't forget to call Gu Ye "teacher."
"You should call me 'teacher' again when you return from the Star Dou Great Forest, because if you don't meet my... requirements... I won't accept you."
Zhu Zhuqing looked at Gu Ye and secretly vowed in her heart that she would definitely fulfill Gu Ye's wishes.
"You still haven't finished using the pepper spray I gave you last time, have you?"
"No."
"This thing is very useful for dealing with perverts. If anyone tries to take advantage of you, just use it, you know?"
"Um."
After giving some instructions, Gu Ye took out another item from the shelf.
The item was a small, transparent bottle containing a single green capsule.
"This is for treatment. If you are seriously injured but not dead, taking this life capsule will allow you to recover quickly. Remember, this is a gift from me, and you can only take it yourself, because there are only two life capsules in this world, understand?"
Zhu Zhuqing nodded firmly, took the small bottle, held it tightly for a moment, and then put it into her chest.
This was a gift from her teacher, Gu Ye. She was going to keep it safe and try her best to never need it in her life.
Gu Ye felt a pang of heartache as he watched Zhu Zhuqing put away the life capsule.
There are only two life capsules available right now, making them extremely precious. He had saved up surgical points for a whole month to exchange for just one from the system.
This is why Gu Ye's surgery clinic, which he helps treat young women every day to earn money, is still so poor.
It's all for these two life capsules.
"Alright, I've said everything I needed to say. I'll be waiting for you to come back from the Star Dou Great Forest."
"Gu Ye, don't worry, I will definitely meet your requirements, because I want to become a strong person." Zhu Zhuqing looked at Gu Ye firmly after her change of mindset.
"Okay, I'll wait."
Gu Ye gently patted Zhu Zhuqing's shoulder. Then the two of them walked out.
In the lobby of the clinic, Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu, who had been waiting for half an hour, saw Gu Ye and Zhu Zhuqing finally come out. They immediately went to Zhu Zhuqing, looked her up and down, and examined her for a long time before finally letting out a sigh of relief after confirming that Zhu Zhuqing was alright.
"Zhuqing, I'm so glad you're alright."
Zhu Zhuqing and Gu Ye stayed in the room for half an hour, which made Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu very worried.
If it weren't for their trust in Gu Ye, Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu would have already barged in.
"Xiao Wu, what do you mean by that? Do you think I would harm Zhu Qing?" Gu Ye glared at Xiao Wu, annoyed.
"Hmph, who knows?" Xiao Wu looked at Gu Ye with her round eyes and snorted.
Gu Ye didn't bother arguing with Xiao Wu, that rabbit.
Then he looked at Ning Rongrong and said, "Come in with me."
"Okay." Ning Rongrong had been waiting for this moment. She said something to Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu and then followed Gu Ye inside.
"Rongrong, you have to be careful," Xiaowu tugged at Ning Rongrong, gesturing for her to be careful.
"Don't worry, Xiao Wu, Gu Ye isn't a bad person. Besides, he's so handsome, I'd accept him even if he were a bad guy," Ning Rongrong said with a smile before going inside.
Upon hearing Ning Rongrong's words, Zhu Zhuqing immediately became agitated.
Gu Ye is her master. Judging from Ning Rongrong's words, has she taken a liking to Gu Ye?
No, Gu Ye belongs to her, and Zhu Zhuqing will never agree to it.
