At Shrek Academy, Huo Wu stood in her red dress, gazing into the distance with a hint of sadness. Today was the day they would leave Shrek Academy. They had been there for four or five days, and it was ti to go back.

"Master, I'll be leaving today," Huo Wu said, feeling down. She had enjoyed her ti with Zhao Ming over the past few days, but happy monts were fleeting, and now, she had to leave.

"I'll visit Blazing Fire Academy to see you soon," Zhao Ming replied.

"Mm, I'll work hard at Blazing Fire Academy. In two years, I'll reach the Soul King level," she said with a faint smile, dimples appearing on her cheeks. She rembered what Zhao Ming had said that day—if she could break through to the Soul King level, he would give her a chance. Then, they wouldn't just be master and disciple; they could be a couple.

Two years to reach Soul King—it was a daunting goal, but Huo Wu was proud and determined.

As his disciple, and with the help of the Divine Foot Scripture, she believed she could make it.

"Honestly, you don't have to push yourself so hard," Zhao Ming said, looking at the beautiful Huo Wu. If he wanted, it wouldn't take two years.

"No, I insist," Huo Wu said, biting her lip, a hint of stubbornness in her eyes as she looked at Zhao Ming.

"Actually, there are plenty of people in this world more outstanding than ," Zhao Ming said with a smile.

"But in my eyes, Master is the best. No one in this world can compare to you," Huo Wu replied, her expression radiant.

"Really? But I've heard that many people in Heaven Dou City are pursuing you, including soone from Godwind Academy. They all seem to like you a lot. Don't you feel anything for them?" Zhao Ming asked, recalling Feng Xiaotian from the original story, the one who had managed to win Huo Wu's heart. But now, Feng Xiaotian no longer seed worthy of her, and Zhao Ming didn't want him getting close to her.

"Master, how do you know about this?" Huo Wu widened her eyes in surprise.

"Well, you're my disciple, so I need to know about you. Naturally, I looked into these things," Zhao Ming explained with a smile.

"Oh, I see." Huo Wu's expression turned disappointed. It turned out that he had said all this out of a sense of duty as a master.

"They only like because of my looks. They're all superficial. Compared to Master, they're nothing," Huo Wu sighed softly.

"Well, n are naturally attracted to beautiful won. Even I'm no exception. I'm just better at hiding it than they are," Zhao Ming admitted, coughing awkwardly. He didn't want to break his image of a respectable master.

"I knew it," Huo Wu said with a playful glint in her eyes, which quickly faded to disappointnt. Even if her master liked beautiful won, he still didn't like her, did he?

"Master, I'll be leaving soon. Can you teach the acupoints of the Divine Foot Scripture one more ti? I'm afraid I might forget when you're not around," Huo Wu asked softly, her cheeks flushing as she recalled the last ti Zhao Ming had taught her.

"Sure, but I'll only show you the acupoints. You already know the movents," Zhao Ming said, nodding. The Divine Foot Scripture contained nurous acupoints, and it was normal for her not to rember them all after one lesson.

"Okay." Huo Wu nodded, feeling a bit disheartened. Was her master dense? Any other man would be thrilled at the chance to be close to her, but he didn't seem interested in taking advantage of her at all.

Did he not have any feelings for her at all?

Feeling disappointed, Zhao Ming led Huo Wu to a grassy spot away from others. He used his soul power to clear the dust off the grass, instructing her to lie down.

Huo Wu looked beautiful in her red dress, which perfectly highlighted her figure. As she lay on the grass, her body appeared even more flawless.

Her face blushed as she lay there, feeling a strange sensation as she watched Zhao Ming.

Seeing her lying there, Zhao Ming remained calm. As her master, his duty was to teach her properly. The Divine Foot Scripture involved several acupoints, and if she didn't follow the correct sequence, the consequences could be severe.

With this thought, Zhao Ming maintained his composure.

He gently removed Huo Wu's knee-high boots.

"When practicing, you must follow the acupoints precisely. The Yongquan point on the sole of your foot is very important," Zhao Ming explained as he carefully pressed the acupoint.

"Understood, Master," Huo Wu replied softly.

As she felt Zhao Ming pressing on her feet, a strange sensation filled her heart. But soon, she pushed it aside. Master was rely teaching her; she shouldn't let her thoughts wander.

Zhao Ming continued teaching her diligently.

From her feet to her legs, and eventually covering her entire body.

He instructed her on the Divine Foot Scripture's acupoints, feeling her soft skin and the faint fragrance emanating from her body.

"Master, is the lesson over?" Huo Wu asked, opening her eyes, her gaze questioning.

"I've taught you everything I could. The remaining acupoints are ones I can't touch. You should know where they are," Zhao Ming said with a smile. He was here to teach, not to take advantage of her. He knew his boundaries.

"It's fine. I don't mind," Huo Wu said, touched by his consideration. Zhao Ming was different from other n. He had no inappropriate intentions and would never overstep boundaries.

"Even so, I can't continue. Otherwise, how will you marry soone in the future?" Zhao Ming said, helping her up gently.

"I'll marry no one but you, Master," Huo Wu said seriously, her eyes fixed on Zhao Ming.

Master was perfect in every way. He helped her grow stronger and treated her so well, yet why didn't he like her?

If only he had a little bit of desire for her, she could at least try to win his heart.

But he seed to have no feelings for her at all. She didn't know whether to be relieved or disappointed.

"Is Master just dense?" Huo Wu muttered softly, looking at Zhao Ming.

"Alright, we should head back. It's ti for you to leave," Zhao Ming said, looking into the distance.

At the entrance of Shrek Academy, Huo Shan and Huo Wushuang were already waiting. They smiled as they watched Zhao Ming and Huo Wu approach.

Zhao Ming was a talented and powerful individual with a promising future.

If they could have such a genius as their family's son-in-law, it would be incredible. A re master-disciple relationship wouldn't be enough to bind Zhao Ming to their family. But, it was all up to Huo Wu's fate.

"Huo Shan, Wushuang, until we et again. I'm sure we'll see each other soon," Zhao Ming said with a smile.

"Yes, when you visit Blazing Fire Academy, I'll be sure to welco you with a feast," Huo Wushuang replied enthusiastically.

"Huo Shan, take care on your journey. We won't see you off," Flender said with a grin.

"Farewell." Huo Shan nodded, and the three of them set off.

Watching Huo Wu's figure as she left, Zhao Ming felt a pang of reluctance.

But he knew this separation was only temporary. Soon, they would et again.

And when that ti ca, their relationship would change completely.
