The Holy Maiden's Invitation, a Long Story

"Etc!"

Hu Liena's tone sounded somewhat urgent. Ning Rongrong had only gone a short distance into the city when Hu Liena called her to stop.

Although it has deviated somewhat from the main plot, Ning Rongrong doesn't believe that the Spirit Hall people have any good intentions.

To her, Tang San was an enemy, and so was the Spirit Hall.

Although the Spirit Hall has not yet massacred the various sects, it will happen eventually.

Why would I think that way?

After all, those people from the Shrek Academy have never changed their inherent flaws.

Ning Rongrong knew that she could change some of history, but... she couldn't change everything.

Even assuming, hypothetically, that the Spirit Hall truly has no intention of slaughtering other sects, she must still be on the safe side and avoid getting too close to them.

"Is there anything else, Holy Maiden?"

Ning Rongrong stared coldly at Hu Liena, who was catching up.

Hu Liena chuckled and said, "With your strength, staying at the Shrek Academy is a waste of your talent. Have you ever thought about developing your career at the Spirit Hall? With the teaching staff there, you'll have a much better future."

What is the teaching quality of the Spirit Hall?

To be honest, the teaching staff of the Spirit Hall is indeed the best on the continent, even surpassing Shrek Academy.

The main benefit is being able to acquire more things.

Things like Soul Ring and Soul Bone are easily obtained.

The reason why those people from the Shrek Academy rose to prominence in the original novel was twofold: firstly, they had Tang San's help, and secondly, their talent was indeed stronger than that of the Golden Generation of the Spirit Hall.

If it weren't for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's background from time travel and the task of earning Identity Points, Ning Rongrong might indeed have been tempted.

But how can everything have a "what if"?

Faced with Hu Liena's invitation, Ning Rongrong decisively shook her head, casually found a rock nearby, and sat down.

Hu Liena actually wanted to invite me?

Was it because I stood out too much just now?

Therefore, it's true that one shouldn't be too outstanding.

There's trouble everywhere.

Undeterred by Ning Rongrong's rejection, Hu Liena quickly continued, "Ning Rongrong, you are a member of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. If you join the Spirit Hall, not only will you benefit, but the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will also receive support from the Spirit Hall. Isn't that a win-win situation?"

A win-win situation!?

Ning Rongrong's face showed a serious expression. "I admire the Spirit Hall's willingness to accept Soul Master, but don't Soul Master have their own freedom? As far as I know, those Soul Masters who are unwilling to join the Spirit Hall don't have good endings, do you think this is a win-win situation, or a blatant threat?"

The future of Soul Master who join the Spirit Hall is limitless, which is certainly a good thing.

But if this kind of thing is truly forced, will it still make people happy?

Bibi Dong was far too autocratic.

No matter how powerful the Spirit Hall is, any Soul Master with even a little bit of their own ideas would not want to join Spirit Hall.

"As the teacher said, human nature is inherently flawed, and this is especially true for Soul Master. If the Soul Master World doesn't have unified rules, long-term struggles and conflicts are inevitable. Therefore, it is necessary to establish rules that all Soul Master must unconditionally accept in order to maintain the stability of the Soul Master World. As for Soul Master who do not abide by these rules, they will be eliminated sooner or later."

But I don't think these can be considered a threat.

"The teacher didn't really do anything to those Soul Masters who didn't join the Spirit Hall, did he?"

Hu Liena was confused.

She may not yet be aware of Bibi Dong's "Soul Hunting Operation" plan.

After all, that plan wouldn't be implemented for several years.

However, judging from Bibi Dong's brainwashing, Ning Rongrong could indeed sense that Bibi Dong intended to do the same thing as in the original story.

Will Soul Master who don't follow the rules be eliminated sooner or later?

Doesn't that mean that Soul Master who don't submit to the Spirit Hall will be slaughtered sooner or later?

Ning Rongrong said, "Don't you think that people's hearts are different? Even with unified rules, it's impossible to make everyone have the same nature. I agree that people are inherently evil, but the necessary struggles won't decrease just because rules are created. Because even if you can get others to obey you, you can't change their deep-seated opinion of you; you can never tell whether it's good or bad."

Hu Liena sighed slightly, "That may indeed be the case, but the teacher must have her reasons for thinking that way, and all I have to do is obey unconditionally. Besides, I feel that although the teacher is strict, she is truly thinking of the Spirit Hall and the other Soul Master."

"Have most Soul Master not received any support from the Spirit Hall over the years?"

Support?

Yes, there are.

Even people like Yu Xiaogang and Tang Hao had a smooth and successful life in the Spirit Hall.

Without the Soul Hunting Operation, the Spirit Hall would undoubtedly be the dream paradise for all Soul Master.

Can...

Hu Liena has been following Bibi Dong in her cultivation for so many years, and it seems she has been completely brainwashed.

Explaining the pros and cons to her further would be futile.

Furthermore, Ning Rongrong was unsure whether the Spirit Hall would actually launch Soul Hunting Operation as it did in the original story.

She was unsure of herself for denying everything the Spirit Hall had done so early.

Let's skip this topic.

Ning Rongrong sighed as well, "I have my own family and cultivation environment. The Spirit Hall is good, but it's really not suitable for me. I'm sorry."

After saying that, he turned and left.

Without absolute strength, one should not easily believe anyone's words.

Especially Hu Liena, whom I met for the first time.

Otherwise, if you believe the wrong person, you'll be doomed!

Ning Rongrong left, leaving Hu Liena shouting behind her, "I won't give up!"

"..."

Who knows what this girl is thinking?

And why are you so persistent in your pursuit of yourself?

In the original novel, Hu Liena was supposed to be a slightly aloof and alluring mature woman.

After the first encounter...

She still exudes a seductive and mature image, but she lacks that aloofness.

Am I naturally charming?

Ignoring Hu Liena, Ning Rongrong left directly and returned to the Great Soul Arena.

When they returned, they found Zhu Zhuqing standing anxiously at the entrance of the Great Soul Arena.

Her slender body looked so tiny among the crowds of people coming and going.

But Ning Rongrong still spotted it at a glance.

"Little Zhu Zhuqing ~"

Ning Rongrong couldn't help but call out.

What kind of bullshit Spirit Hall? What kind of bullshit Shrek Academy?

In front of Zhu Zhuqing, nothing else matters.

If she had known that Zhu Zhuqing was so worried about her, she wouldn't have stayed with Hu Liena for even a moment longer.

"Rongrong ~"

Zhu Zhuqing also spotted Ning Rongrong, and the worry in her eyes instantly turned into joy as she ran over.

It seemed that seeing Ning Rongrong calmed her down considerably...
