Another Assassination! (Please Keep Reading!)

Faced with Chen Xin's question, Ning Rongrong confirmed it a second time.

After all, someone who could remove Immovable Bright King Zhao Wuji's shoulder armor before he even reacted definitely could not be weaker than a Soul Douluo.

As for anything higher, she did not dare imagine it.

A twelve-year-old Soul Douluo was already absurd enough. If he were a twelve-year-old Title Douluo, she would not be able to stop herself from suspecting that she had fallen under some illusion, or that the world she was living in now was fake.

"What are you talking about? A twelve-year-old Soul Douluo? How is that possible? Don't tell me you believe it?"

Seeing signs that Chen Xin was starting to believe her, Gu Rong immediately spoke up in mockery.

"You sword-swinger, say something."

Chen Xin gave a disdainful laugh and immediately fanned the flames in front of Ning Rongrong. "Rongrong, look. That old bag of bones doesn't even believe what you say. Sword Grandfather is still the closest to you, right?"

Ning Rongrong instantly looked toward Gu Rong with tears welling in her eyes. "Bone Grandfather, you don't believe Rongrong?"

"This... Bone Grandfather naturally believes what Rongrong says. Just now... just now Grandfather was only joking with that sword-swinger, really!"

Inwardly, Gu Rong cursed Chen Xin over and over for being a scheming bastard. The man had actually seized on his opening to try to ruin his relationship with Rongrong.

Though he still did not quite believe it, since Rongrong had said so, what harm was there in believing it a little?

At worst, he could just take a look when the time came.

Standing off to the side, Zhu Zhuqing watched the two Title Douluo dote on Ning Rongrong as if they were competing for her favor, and immediately understood why Ning Rongrong had once had such a strong young-miss temper.

However, Ning Rongrong's personality had improved quite a bit now. The title of Little Demon Girl no longer suited her.

For one thing, she had seen Jiang Qianhai's ridiculous combat strength and no longer thought so highly of her own talent. For another, she had been influenced by Zhu Zhuqing's way of doing things, and her temper had restrained itself considerably.

It was just that her conflict with Flender had still happened, and even now neither of them paid any attention to the other.

This left Flender completely numb. According to his expectations, Ning Rongrong should have repented, turned over a new leaf, obediently listened, and restrained her young-miss temper.

Who would have thought things would end up like this?

He regretted it so much!

That one sentence could sum up Flender's state of mind.

Whenever he remembered Grandmaster's sworn guarantee in his ear, he felt like he had been royally screwed.

Although the result was not different, the process really mattered!

"Oh right, Bone Grandfather, what happened to that thief?"

Ning Rongrong, who had originally been vividly describing Jiang Qianhai's unreasonable strength, suddenly remembered the main matter.

Gu Rong took out two Purple-Gold Tokens from his Soul Tool. "Fortunately, Rongrong, you didn't rush out. There wasn't just one thief you mentioned, but two Soul Saints from the Star Luo Empire!"

"Soul Saints! Huh? Star Luo?"

Ning Rongrong turned to look at Zhu Zhuqing, while Zhu Zhuqing gave a nod in response.

"Their target was most likely me."

"So that's how it is. Still, I really can't approve of Star Luo's method of succession."

Of course they knew Zhu Zhuqing's identity, and Chen Xin immediately expressed his dislike for the Star Luo Empire. That sort of heir selection, soaked in blood and utterly devoid of familial affection, simply went against their values.

Ning Rongrong curiously asked what method of succession Chen Xin was talking about.

"They have quite a few Princes, while the Zhu Family is the imperial consort family. Children from the two families who are close in age have marriage contracts from childhood, but only one pair can ascend to the positions of Crown Prince and Crown Princess. As for the rest, they either die or are crippled."

"Because of that, the competition is extremely bloody. Between brothers and sisters, there is not the slightest bit of familial affection—only slaughter."

"Hiss! How can there be a family like that!" Ning Rongrong sucked in a breath, then moved to hug Zhu Zhuqing and comfort her best friend.

However, Zhu Zhuqing directly pressed one hand against her face and held her off.

"Although that is indeed the case, I had someone with me when I was little. I wasn't so pitiful that I need comforting."

"Oh, all right."

"Oh right, Sword Grandfather, Bone Grandfather, now that both of you are here, nothing will go wrong inside the sect, will it?"

Ning Rongrong was a little worried that some sudden situation might occur at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. After all, the sect only had two Title Douluo. If they encountered something that could not be resolved without a Title Douluo, that would be troublesome.

Chen Xin laughed loudly, then shot Gu Rong a fierce look.

"Isn't it because someone came uninvited? I won't say who. But Rongrong, you're worrying too much. It's no problem for us to leave for a short while. The sect master is still very reliable."

"Zhuqing, what are you thinking about?"

After setting her worries aside, Ning Rongrong saw Zhu Zhuqing deep in thought again and could not help coming over to ask.

"I understand my sister and the others. Logically speaking, their reach shouldn't be able to extend here, and I haven't exposed anything that would provoke their killing intent. This assassination is very unreasonable."

"Oh? Little girl, what do you think?"

Hearing Zhu Zhuqing's deduction, the two Title Douluo immediately became interested.

After all, there were many powerful people, but people with good minds were even more precious.

Zhu Zhuqing sorted through her experiences during this period, and suddenly a flash of inspiration crossed her mind.

"Qianhai!"

That was it. Only if Zhu Zhuyun knew Zhu Zhuqing had someone so powerful at her side would she send people to kill her for the sake of her own life.

And including Zhu Zhuqing herself, barely a dozen people knew Jiang Qianhai's strength. As for those with a motive to act against her, aside from Grandmaster and Tang San, there was only Dai Mubai.

Add in the fact that this person knew her identity, and it could only be Dai Mubai!

Given his hatred for Jiang Qianhai and her, it was perfectly normal for him to want to harm her, and he also had the ability to do it!

"I think I know what's going on."

"Hm? Really? What is it?"

Ning Rongrong said she did not understand. She had noticed long ago that Zhu Zhuqing was not only Slime-large, but also quick-witted.

Zhu Zhuqing narrowed her eyes and said coldly, "Dai Mubai. There's an eighty percent chance he was involved in this."

At that, Ning Rongrong's eyes lit up.

"That guy? It's definitely him! After all, he couldn't keep his mouth shut and got an arm chopped off. He must hate you two to death."

"What are you planning to do?"

Zhu Zhuqing did not feel especially furious or anything of the sort. On the contrary, she was extremely calm. After thinking for a moment, her thin lips parted slightly.

"Wait."

Ning Rongrong asked, "Wait? Wait for what?"

"Wait for Qianhai to come back. I can't touch him inside the city, but he can."

Zhu Zhuqing knew very well that under the watch of several Soul Saints, she could not do anything. Moreover, her own strength was at most on par with Dai Mubai's, and there was ultimately still a gap in Soul Power, so taking action herself was truly the worst option.

"Should I have Sword Grandfather and Bone Grandfather just go and snip that lustful tiger?"

Light flashed in Ning Rongrong's eyes as she drew her little hand across her neck, making the corners of the two Title Douluo's mouths twitch.

Besides, she had found that guy unpleasant for a long time. Not only was his mouth foul, he had even mocked her together with that Flender!

Unexpectedly, Zhu Zhuqing shook her head. "It won't be good for you to get involved in this. It's better if we settle it ourselves."

The two Title Douluo nodded inwardly. This little girl was right. They represented the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and although Dai Mubai was not favored, he was still a Prince of the Star Luo Royal Family. Killing him would be a challenge to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's neutral position.

"Fine~"

Ning Rongrong was instantly very disappointed, but she soon recovered and then insisted on dragging the two Title Douluo around Suotuo City for a stroll.

Although Chen Xin and the other had been here before, they still pretended they had not, cheerfully following Ning Rongrong around.

Zhu Zhuqing stayed beside Ning Rongrong and bought a few things as well.

Only when the sky darkened did they leave Suotuo City.

Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo did not leave, using the excuse of visiting Shrek to follow Ning Rongrong to Shrek Academy.

As they reached the city gate, Ning Rongrong was still chatting with Zhu Zhuqing about which shop's skincare products worked best.

Suddenly, the atmosphere around them changed!

The two Title Douluo's eyes shifted, and they quickly turned to look behind Zhu Zhuqing.

"How bold!"

Seeing this, Zhu Zhuqing swiftly turned her head.

The next instant, a dagger glinting with cold light entered her sight!
