Ning Rongrong

Ning Rongrong hid behind Gu Rong and made a face at Ning Fengzhi.

Seeing her like this, Ning Fengzhi shook his head helplessly.

"Uncle Gu, you spoil her too much. If this continues, she'll suffer for it someday."

"Hmph, who would dare bully my little princess? These old bones of mine aren't just for show!"

Gu Rong's fiercely protective manner left Ning Fengzhi feeling powerless to discipline her.

Ning Rongrong hooked her arm through Gu Rong's and said to Ning Fengzhi, "Exactly. Grandpa Gu is still the best."

Gu Rong affectionately patted Ning Rongrong on the head as well.

"Dad, I want to go out and gain some experience. It's too boring staying in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."

"Nonsense! At a time like this, you still want to go out? Stay in the sect and behave yourself."

With the situation so turbulent, Ning Fengzhi naturally did not want his daughter running around outside.

What if something happened? He had placed great hopes on Ning Rongrong.

Seeing that Ning Fengzhi would not agree, Ning Rongrong tugged on Gu Rong's arm and coquettishly said, "Grandpa Gu..."

Gu Rong was somewhat troubled. It truly was unsafe outside right now, but he simply could not resist the little devil's spoiled pleading.

"Fengzhi, why not send Rongrong to Heaven Dou Royal Academy? It'll be safer there."

Faced with Gu Rong's suggestion, Ning Fengzhi fell silent for a moment.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was not necessarily safe either. Sending Ning Rongrong to Heaven Dou Royal Academy was indeed an option.

"Fine. I'll let them know and have them take better care of her."

Then he looked at Ning Rongrong again.

"Rongrong, remember this. Once you get to the academy, you must not keep causing trouble."

Ning Rongrong nodded excitedly.

She skipped out of the main hall.

Ning Fengzhi shook his head. This daughter of his had never given him any peace of mind.

With Gu Rong and Chen Xin indulging her as well, she had become utterly lawless, just like a little devil.

Meanwhile, Ye Xiaobao was at home, preparing to absorb that right leg soul bone.

He silently took out the right leg soul bone. The blue leg bone floated in the air, carrying faint traces of lightning aura.

This soul bone absorption went extremely smoothly. In less than half a day, he had finished absorbing it.

It even came with a soul skill: Lightning Flash.

Lightning Flash: Transform into lightning and instantly move several hundred meters forward.

After contemplating it for a while, Ye Xiaobao slowly opened his eyes.

This soul skill was very powerful!

It was perfect for improving his escape speed. Life-saving abilities were always the most precious.

He now had two soul bones, and his Soul Power had reached level fifty.

Moreover, after reaching level fifty, he seemed far stronger than he had imagined.

He could begin preparing to absorb his fifth soul ring.

Of course, Ye Xiaobao already had a target.

A certain rabbit's soul ring was exceptionally suitable!

As an enemy of Spirit Hall, he would not show pity for a pretty face.

He had also kept the four elders in the Heaven Dou Empire, ready to accompany him to Shrek Academy at any time.

It seemed it was time to test whether Tang Hao was truly as powerful as the legends claimed.

Leaving his room, Ye Xiaobao was in high spirits as he wandered around Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

As an academy founded by the Heaven Dou imperial family, Heaven Dou Royal Academy naturally had an excellent environment. The students he encountered along the way all looked at Ye Xiaobao with respect.

After wandering for only a short while, he happened to run into Ning Rongrong, who had just enrolled.

Ye Xiaobao stared at the young woman in green and could not help but freeze in a daze.

Ning Rongrong!

Why was she at Heaven Dou Royal Academy?

Ning Rongrong had just arrived in a new environment and was feeling delighted when she noticed a handsome young man staring at her without blinking.

With an unhappy expression, she pointed at Ye Xiaobao and asked, "Hey, what are you looking at?"

Ye Xiaobao came back to his senses at her question. He gave an awkward smile and was just about to leave.

But Ning Rongrong jogged over and demanded, "Are all the people at Heaven Dou Royal Academy as uncultured as you? Do you believe I can have someone dig your eyes out?"

Ye Xiaobao was helpless.

With that fiery temperament, she was definitely Ning Rongrong.

"I just thought you looked a little familiar."

Hearing that, Ning Rongrong curled her lips.

"That's such an old-fashioned way to strike up a conversation. Don't think being handsome means you can get away with it. Apologize to me."

Hearing Ning Rongrong demand an apology, Ye Xiaobao's face darkened as he directly asked, "You're Ning Rongrong of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, aren't you?"

Ning Rongrong had not expected this handsome young man to actually know her, and her interest was immediately piqued.

"How do you know who I am?"

Ye Xiaobao replied, "Who hasn't heard of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect? I just didn't expect to run into you at Heaven Dou Royal Academy."

He had not expected this little girl to be so difficult either.

Just as Ning Rongrong was about to ask more questions, she saw Ning Fengzhi walking over with a cane, Gu Rong following behind him.

She immediately stepped forward and said, "Dad, this person knows my identity. I'm certain I've never met him before."

This was also Ye Xiaobao's first time seeing Ning Fengzhi.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had not yet tied itself to Tang San, and Ning Rongrong had come to Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

These developments had already diverged from his memories.

In that case, perhaps he could bring the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect aboard the Martial Soul Empire's war chariot.

Ning Fengzhi examined the young man before him. He was certain they had never met, so he calmly asked, "Young friend, may I know your name?"

"Ye Xiaobao."

Ning Fengzhi found the name familiar. After thinking for a moment, he remembered.

Wasn't this the person the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect was searching for?

Chen Xin had even fought Yu Yuanzhen because of him, and both had been injured.

How did he know Rongrong? This person was definitely not simple.

Seeing Ning Fengzhi's expression, Ye Xiaobao knew things were not good. With Ning Fengzhi's intelligence, he might be able to guess something.

"Young friend, how did you learn of my daughter's identity? I am certain that we have never met before."

Ye Xiaobao was also in a difficult position.

He could hardly say that he had seen her on television. After pondering for a moment, he said, "I heard the Crown Prince mention it before. When I saw her just now, I thought she looked like the person he described. I didn't expect to cause your daughter to misunderstand. My apologies."

This answer eased some of Ning Fengzhi's suspicions.

After studying him for a while, Gu Rong suddenly realized something.

"Kid, you're the peerless genius that old Sword freak mentioned?"

"Tsk, tsk. A twelve-year-old Soul Elder who defeated a Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial soul of the same rank in one move. You really are an outstanding young man."

Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi immediately developed the desire to befriend him.

If this person could join the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, perhaps the sect would gain another consecrated elder in the future.

"Young friend, have you joined any sect?"

"Dad, you aren't thinking of asking this guy to join the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, are you?"

When Ning Rongrong heard Ning Fengzhi inviting Ye Xiaobao to join the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, she looked displeased.

Naturally, Ye Xiaobao would not join the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, so he refused, "Sect Master Ning, I have no plans to join a sect for the time being. Let's discuss it another time."

Ning Fengzhi shot Ning Rongrong a glare, feeling somewhat regretful.

"Very well. Then give it some more thought, young friend."

Ye Xiaobao smiled and agreed. After saying that, he bid them farewell and left.

Ning Fengzhi watched Ye Xiaobao's departing figure.

"There's something wrong with this boy!"

Gu Rong and Ning Rongrong's expressions changed. Gu Rong asked in confusion, "Fengzhi, you suspect...?"

"That's right. The destruction of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect may very well be connected to this boy."

Ning Rongrong pouted, finding it hard to believe.

"Dad, you think too highly of him. Him?"

"Stay properly at Heaven Dou Royal Academy and don't cause trouble for me."

With that, Ning Fengzhi left the academy with Gu Rong.

He also knew this was only speculation. As for who Ye Xiaobao truly was, further investigation would be needed.

After Ye Xiaobao returned home, Dong Bo hurried forward.

"Young Master, according to the scouts' report, Shrek Academy has begun enrollment."

It had begun?

It seemed he would see Tang San again tomorrow.

"Inform the four elders. Tomorrow, we're going to Shrek Academy... to prepare for the soul ring hunting operation!"

"Yes, Young Master."
