Ch 56: Deng Ning, The Earth-rank Taoist

Deng Ning was also Zhang Buran’s classmate before, and his talent was also outstanding.

Zhang Buran still remembered that Deng Ning was a Yellow Level Daoist at that time.

After three years of not seeing each other, Deng Ning has been promoted to an Earth Level Daoist?

In the eyes of ordinary people, Deng Ning’s promotion speed is very fast.

But in Zhang Buran’s opinion, it’s just so-so.

Didn’t Zhang Buran also become a Heavenly Daoist in a few years?

“Deng Ning, why are you following me again?”

Su Zili saw Deng Ning and frowned slightly, clearly displeased.

“Zili, I invited you to dinner, but you refused. Was it just to run and see him?”

Deng Ning pointed at Zhang Buran with trembling fingers, and said in a questioning tone.

“I have no obligation to eat with you, and where I go is my freedom.”

Su Zili’s face was cold, and she didn’t give Deng Ning any face.

“Fine! Fine! I know now, you don’t cherish those who are good to you, but you want what you can’t get!”

“I pursue you, you reject me from a thousand miles away, like a piece of ice!”

“But what’s so good about Zhang Buran! Can he still make you think of him after disappearing for three years?”

Deng Ning asked loudly, his face red and his voice hoarse.

“What nonsense are you talking about!”

A blush quickly spread across Su Zili’s fair face.

“What nonsense? He doesn’t even know about your feelings for Zhang Buran! Am I not good to you? I worked hard to cultivate for you and was promoted to Earth Level Daoist. Isn’t that enough? My kindness to you is visible to everyone!”

Deng Ning was somewhat hysterical.

Students around also smelled the gossip, whispering among themselves.

“Teacher Deng is said to have been pursuing Teacher Su! But Teacher Su has always ignored Teacher Deng and refused many times…”

“That’s right, but Teacher Deng has never given up, he’s like a simp…”

“Teacher Deng is so infatuated with her, but Teacher Su has never responded. It turns out that Teacher Su has always had Zhang Buran in her heart!”

“No wonder, Teacher Su has such a strong man like Senior Zhang Buran in her heart. In comparison, Teacher Deng Ning is a little…”

Deng Ning’s face turned beet red after hearing this.

Since their student days, Deng Ning had already fallen for Su Zili.

Deng Ning confessed to Su Zili countless times, but was clearly rejected each time.

Deng Ning was unwilling to give up and continued his fervent pursuit.

It was later that Deng Ning discovered that Su Zili actually had a crush on Zhang Buran!

But Zhang Buran himself was completely unaware.

But Deng Ning still didn’t give up.

Until the news came that Zhang Buran had left the Daoist World.

Deng Ning was overjoyed.

Deng Ning thought he had a chance.

But Su Zili remained unresponsive.

Until now, Zhang Buran reappeared.

After learning that Zhang Buran appeared at the training base, Su Zili decisively refused Deng Ning’s invitation to dinner and rushed here to see Zhang Buran!

Why?!

Why did his sincere efforts result in such an outcome!

Deng Ning had an almost morbid obsession with Su Zili.

He felt that Su Zili was his woman!

She couldn’t be touched by others!

Not even Zhang Buran!

Deng Ning felt extremely unbalanced, so he chased after her here to get an explanation.

“Deng Ning, don’t talk nonsense, I don’t like you! I’ve said it many times, it’s you who have been pestering me!” Su Zili’s face flushed with anger.

“Heh! Aren’t I telling the truth? Don’t you have a crush on Zhang Buran? What? You don’t dare admit it in front of him?” Deng Ning’s face was sinister.

Su Zili glanced at Zhang Buran and found him looking dumbfounded.

It’s over, it’s over…

This is so embarrassing!

Su Zili felt like she could dig out a two-bedroom apartment with her toes.

Zhang Buran had a completely confused expression.

What the heck?

Su Zili has always liked me?

How come I never noticed?

Zhang Buran’s impression of Su Zili remained that of the strict and serious Class Monitor.

Su Zili had never shown him any affection.

Now, she suddenly says she likes me?

Zhang Buran was a little dazed.

Another bad romance?

Could it be that Zhang Buran was too obtuse before and didn’t notice Su Zili’s crush on him?

“Zhang Buran… I, Deng Ning was talking nonsense!”

Su Zili clenched her fists, speaking somewhat incoherently.

That’s right, Su Zili has always had a crush on Zhang Buran, for a long time.

Su Zili was efficient and decisive in her work, and was given the title of “Devilish Female Instructor” by the students.

But in matters of love, Su Zili was slow-witted and humble.

At first, when Su Zili saw Zhang Buran, a flippant transfer student, she even felt a little disgusted.

But later, Zhang Buran showed his talent, killed evil ghosts, and worked hard to cultivate to become stronger…

His flippant attitude was merely a superficial appearance.

Su Zili gradually developed a fondness for Zhang Buran, but she didn’t realize she liked him, thinking it was just admiration.

Until one time, during a large-scale ghost-catching mission.

Most of the students in Su Zili’s class were dispatched.

Su Zili was cornered by an evil ghost.

At the moment of life and death.

Zhang Buran appeared.

Casually, he used a Purple Lightning bolt to shatter the soul of the evil ghost, saving Su Zili from its grasp.

Perhaps for Zhang Buran, it was just a small feat.

But for Su Zili, it was a life-saving grace, making it unforgettable for life.

Zhang Buran’s heroic posture and powerful strength were forever etched in Su Zili’s mind, lingering persistently.

It was at that moment that Su Zili discovered that she had already fallen for Zhang Buran.

But Su Zili was cowardly in matters of love and did not dare to express her feelings, so she could only secretly admire Zhang Buran.

But the more Su Zili suppressed her feelings for Zhang Buran, the stronger they became.

Su Zili also once mustered her courage and subtly expressed her feelings to Zhang Buran a few times.

But Zhang Buran, with his wooden head, was very obtuse and didn’t guess Su Zili’s intentions at all.

Until later… she learned that Zhang Buran had left the Daoist World.

Su Zili was devastated.

Su Zili frantically searched for Zhang Buran’s whereabouts, but found nothing.

Until three years later, she met Zhang Buran again.

Su Zili’s suppressed emotions for three years finally couldn’t be held back, and she immediately approached Zhang Buran.

But the moment she saw Zhang Buran, Su Zili realized that perhaps she was just a slightly familiar stranger to him.

A thousand words were reduced to that one phrase, “Long time no see.”

Su Zili was also angry at Zhang Buran’s unexplained disappearance for three years.

Zhang Buran’s dull brain finally understood why Su Zili was angry with him.

It turns out she likes me!

To have someone you like disappear without a word for three years… you would feel somewhat wronged.

And Su Zili was not good at expressing herself, her emotions could not be vented, so she could only use anger to cover it up.

“Zili, must you always remember Zhang Buran!”

“What’s so good about him!”

“I’m the one who is most sincere to you!”

Deng Ning patted his chest again, as if he wanted to take out his heart and show it to Su Zili.

“Deng Ning, do you have to make me lose face in front of so many students?”

But Su Zili was very disgusted, her eyes full of coldness.

“Su Zili, you like Zhang Buran, isn’t it because he’s a Heavenly Daoist?”

“I will prove that I am no weaker than him!”

“Zhang Buran, after three years of not seeing each other, I don’t know if your skills have regressed. Dare you spar with me!”

Deng Ning pointed at Zhang Buran and shouted.
