Chapter 25 - Alliance?

By the time Flender called everyone for the evening class, Xingyun and Zhuqing already woke up and recovered enough to keep up with everyone.

Like what happened in the original story, Ning Rongrong was berated by Flender, and she realized how arrogant she had been, when compared to everyone in Shrek, she is the weakest, Xingyun and Bao'er also kinda understood her circumstances, having been surrounded by people who only praises her and paints her as a genius among geniuses.

When she ran back to her room while sobbing, Xingyun took this chance to finally talk to her one on one, "Dean, can I not join you guys on the class? I'm sure that you'll take them to the Great Spirit Arena, and honestly, I don't think I'll find any enemy there who can fight me, plus I'm still tired, can I just go tomorrow?", Xingyun said to Flender, which Flender agreed on, because like Xingyun said, there's no enemy worth fighting for Xingyun there.

When everyone left, Xingyun went to Rongrong's room, there he saw Oscar trying his best to comfort her, "Oscar, can I talk to her? Alone?", Xingyun said, which Oscar nodded on, then Oscar left the two alone.

"Ning Rongrong, the princess of STGT clan, if you may, I wanna talk to you about something regarding our two clans", Xingyun seriously said, which made Ning Rongrong look at him. "I'm sorry to say this while you're still devastated, but I had to, my clan is in danger of annihilation and is currently in need of your clan's help", Xingyun said while bowing.

"What's that gotta do with me? I'm just the princess like you said, I don't make decisions in the clan", Ning Rongrong said.

"Miss Ning, my clan is currently monitored by our enemies and all our main forces currently cannot escape their watch, once they found out we went to find help from outside, we will be annihilated, that's why me and Bao'er decided ourselves to escape the clan and find allies to help us, that's why we are here, to search for talented allies or friends to help our clan", Xingyun solemnly said.

"I didn't expect that I'll find someone like you here, someone who can help me get in contact with a top clan and my clan and your clan have the same enemies Miss Ning, we are both in danger of annihilation, unless our clans allied with each other, I don't see any way for us to survive against our enemy, the spirit hall", Xingyun solemnly said, when Ning Rongrong heard what he said, she was a bit skeptical because she never heard of any danger in the clan, but seeing the seriousness on Xingyun's face she partially believed it.

"So what does your clan have to offer, to actually think that my clan will ally with your clan", Ning Rongrong said, though her eyes are still a bit red, her face shows how serious she was.

"My clan is a hidden clan called Mao clan, we are one of the top clans thousands of years ago, but because of our founder's ascension to godhood, we declined, our clan is known for all kinds of cat spirits back then, but the problem is we don't have any spirit that can rival the spirits that you top clans have, so our clan went on hiding, because our clan doesn't have any top spirits we searched for all kinds of ways to make up for it and go back to our previous glory", Xingyun told her the history of his clan to show how deep his clan's roots is, when it comes to clans, sometimes just looking at how long they've lasted without being annihilated is a proof of how strong they are.

"After hundreds of years of hardwork, our ancestors manage to find out that a spirit master's physique is what decides, how old of a spirit ring he/she can absorb", Xingyun showed his spirit ring configuration, 1 purple and 2 black, which shocked Ning Rongrong to her core.

"Our ancestors made techniques specifically for spirit masters who have cat spirits, using those techniques, almost all our clansmen managed to absorb older than optimal spirit rings, at this point the spirit hall found out about our existence, but we were never attacked by them because we're not seen as threats, because our spirits are only mediocre at best", Xingyun continued.

"*sigh* but because of me and Bao'er, me who has a innate full spirit power and her awakening Golden Lion King, we managed to show the full potential of our clan's techniques and managed to absorb a 1000 year spirit ring, if not for our clan's three super douluos, we might be annihilated long ago", Xingyun said, "Miss Ning, spirit hall is a very strong opponent, stronger than you can imagine, both our clans are practically walking on thin ice, one show of weakness and we'll be annihilated", Xingyun solemnly added, when Rongrong heard this, she also felt shocked and felt a sense of urgency.

"Miss Ning, I hope that you realize what predicament both our clans is facing right now, all I want is a chance to talk to STGT clan's clan master through you, and have a chance to at least make an ally with your STGT clan, you don't have to answer me now miss Ning, you can take your time thinking about it, Oscar is still outside and a bit worried about you so I'll go now", Xingyun said then went out of the room, he then signaled for Oscar who was anxiously waiting outside to come in.

Xingyun then went straight to his room and prompted Blacky to use the domain on him and show him if Ning Rongrong will accept his offer, Xingyun typically never relies on what future he sees because it's unreliable, just a bit of a change in the present can make even the biggest changes in the future, so he only uses his ability to see future if he needed a confirmation or if he was desperate.

When he saw that Ning Rongrong accepted his offer, he was satisfied and he didn't try to look further in the future, the only time he used his ability to look at future the furthest is when he was preparing to leave the clan, and it's only to look if there's any chance that his clan would be annihilated in his absence, because he doesn't wanna rely on it too much, he wanna make his decisions without relying on what will happen in the future. If you already know what the future is, how can you enjoy the present? is what he believes on.
