Pink Flower Sea

Pink Flower Sea

After four days of travel, Ning Tianchen and Ning Rongrong arrived in Suotuo City that morning.

After entering the city, the first thing Ning Rongrong did was inquire about the location of Shrek Academy.

There was still one day until Shrek Academy opened. If they did not find its location today, they would have no idea where to register tomorrow.

"Rong Rong, could Shrek Academy possibly be outside the city?" Ning Tianchen asked with a smile.

Ning Rongrong shook her head. "How could that be? From what I've heard, Shrek Academy is an academy with great potential and an extremely strong teaching staff. How could such an academy be located outside the city?"

There was no denying that Shrek Academy's teaching staff was formidable.

Three Soul Saints and two Soul Emperors teaching three students—the faculty was strong to the point of absurdity.

As for Shrek Academy having potential? Heh, they were practically about to shut down.

"Their admission requirements are so strict. How many people could possibly meet them? Rong Rong, think carefully. Among the inner and outer disciples of the sect, how many could reach twenty-first-level Soul Power before turning thirteen?"

Ning Rongrong began to ponder it in her mind.

Other than Spirit Hall, Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect was one of the forces with the most disciples. Every year, more than thirty inner and outer disciples entered the sect's Special Training Camp.

Those thirty-odd people were all key disciples nurtured by the sect. Occasionally, some disciples who obtained special opportunities and improved their talents would also be exceptionally admitted into the Special Training Camp.

But such cases were rare, with no more than one or two each year.

Under normal circumstances, nearly all of those thirty-odd disciples would break through to twenty-first-level Soul Power before the age of thirteen. Among the remaining sect disciples, at most a single-digit number could meet that requirement.

By that calculation, Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, publicly acknowledged as the continent's number one sect, had only thirty-odd people each year who met Shrek Academy's admission requirements.

Of course, twenty-first-level Soul Power was only the threshold. There were three more tests afterward. Unless one was directly admitted to the final test, it was nearly impossible to pass the first two.

Ning Rongrong suddenly covered her mouth and exclaimed, "Doesn't that mean Shrek Academy barely has any students at all?"

Ning Tianchen nodded. "That's why the information you heard was deliberately exaggerated by someone."

Ning Rongrong sighed.

Since they had already come all this way, they could not exactly return home without even taking a look.

Shrek Academy's location was not difficult to find out.

Recently, many parents had brought their children to Suotuo City to register for Shrek Academy.

From one parent, Ning Tianchen and Ning Rongrong learned Shrek Academy's address.

The parent also said, "I think that place probably isn't the real Shrek Academy. Perhaps its rundown exterior is merely a test for us. Their real campus should be somewhere else."

Ning Rongrong's eyes suddenly lit up, as though she had found an excuse to defend Shrek Academy.

After bidding farewell to the parent, she hurriedly said, "Tianchen Gege, perhaps Shrek Academy has an advanced Soul Master Academy behind it. Shrek Academy is merely a branch of that academy, mainly used to cultivate genius Soul Masters."

"Heh, let's hope so." Ning Tianchen shrugged and did not dwell on the matter.

He knew perfectly well what Shrek Academy was like.

Ning Rongrong was currently full of fantasies about Shrek Academy. No matter how much he disparaged it, she would find excuses to defend it.

Only seeing it with her own eyes could shatter those fantasies.

Before setting out, Ning Tianchen had done plenty of research and was quite familiar with the situation in Suotuo City.

Suotuo City was located on the Lima Plain and was the granary of the Balak Kingdom, even of the entire Heaven Dou Empire.

Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had an enormous commercial presence within the Heaven Dou Empire. Therefore, it had established a sect office in Suotuo City to purchase grain there.

With the autumn harvest drawing ever closer, the steward responsible for Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's grain purchases had already arrived in Suotuo City.

"So, if we don't want to be taken back, we'd better avoid moving around Suotuo City too much over the next few months."

Ning Rongrong nodded casually, then suddenly grabbed Ning Tianchen and pointed with her other hand at a hotel sign not far away.

"Tianchen Gege, this hotel looks pretty nice. How about we stay here?"

Ning Tianchen looked up and saw the words "Rose Hotel" clearly written on the sign.

Seriously? Couldn't get away from this place, could I? Ning Tianchen grumbled inwardly.

He did not know when Tang San and Dai Mubai had clashed in the original timeline.

Wouldn't it be awkward if they happened to run into Dai Mubai?

However, with the opening season approaching and several intermediate Soul Master Academies in Suotuo City, the number of applicants had surged, and the city's hotels were already fully booked.

Perhaps only these couples' hotels still had vacancies.

After thinking for a moment, the two entered the hotel together.

"Esteemed guests, are you sure you wish to book two rooms?" the attendant could not help asking.

Although their relationship had grown closer after the previous incident, they were still too young. Staying together would not be appropriate.

After receiving an affirmative answer, the attendant looked troubled. "Esteemed guests, this is a couples' hotel. All our rooms are very spacious, more than enough for the two of you to share."

"At present, we only have two rooms left. You know how things have been in the city lately. Why not book one room and leave the other for someone else?"

Just as they were considering it, another couple arrived and quickly paid for one room.

Well, there was no need to think about it now. Only one room remained. If they did not decide soon, they would probably have to sleep on the streets tonight.

Without thinking further, Ning Tianchen immediately paid the room fee and took the last available room.

"Esteemed guests, your room is called 'Pink Flower Sea.' It is the innermost room on the third floor, and also one of our largest suites." The attendant respectfully handed them the room key.

As the two were heading upstairs, a handsome young man around six feet tall, broad-shouldered and with a hint of resoluteness in his features, slowly descended the stairs with his right hand around the slender waist of a seductive woman.

The young man had long golden hair, strange eyes with double pupils, and deep blue irises.

Dai Mubai? Ning Tianchen made his judgment.

According to the novel's description, shouldn't he be entangled with the twins right now?

Suddenly, Ning Tianchen froze.

Could this guy be playing with this woman in the morning, then fooling around with the twin sisters in the afternoon?

Suotuo City's Dai Shao truly lived up to his reputation. He had taken time management to its absolute limit.

As the two parties passed each other, Dai Mubai did not notice Ning Tianchen and Ning Rongrong.

Going upstairs, they arrived before the room called "Pink Flower Sea," and Ning Tianchen inserted the key into the lock.

The instant the door opened, the interior decorations left them both frozen on the spot.

PS: In the early stages, he went to Shrek Academy to seize Tang San's opportunities; later, Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect built its own academy.
