Yu Xiaogang's Ambition, Ning Rongrong Returns to the Sect

The Invitation Tokens had more or less all been distributed.

Su Mu calculated that he had sent them to the personnel stationed in Spirit City by the Papal Palace, Worship Hall, Hall of Elders, and Major Sects, as well as the Golden Generation—those promising future prospects.

Naturally, as an ordinary person, he could not deliver the Invitation Tokens without anyone noticing.

Even Daji could not do it. After all, there were several old monsters in the Worship Hall.

This was another system function he had obtained after activating the Myriad Realms Auction Pavilion.

It also had a range limit. Su Mu estimated that it could only cover an area the size of Spirit City.

Therefore, he currently had no way of notifying the Two Great Empires, the Clear Sky Sect, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and the other Major Sects.

Time was pressing. He could only wait until the first round of auctions ended, let the Myriad Realms Auction Pavilion make a name for itself and spread across the entire Douluo Continent. Then he would never have to worry about customers again.

Still, he estimated that Spirit City was the holy city of soul masters. Not only did every faction have long-term representatives stationed here, but there were also many spies.

Perhaps news of what had happened in Spirit City had already been passed back through those spies.

By the time the auction began, there might even be an unexpected surprise.

Shrek Academy.

"Flender, you fucking have to pay me more, you hear me? That trip to the Star Dou Great Forest nearly cost me my life."

"Do you know how dangerous it was?"

"Have you ever experienced despair?"

"I have, right there in the Star Dou Great Forest. Thank goodness my ancestors blessed me, Zhao Wuji, and let me escape danger and come back alive."

Flender was greatly surprised. Having worked together for so many years, he knew exactly what kind of person Zhao Wuji was. "What happened?"

"First, we ran into an ape-type soul beast as large as a mountain. Then, even worse, we encountered the Couple of Peerless Dragon and Snake, who tried to fight us over a soul ring."

"But that wasn't even the most important part. We also met a man who had a Titled Douluo servant with him. He silenced the Couple of Peerless Dragon and Snake, and that entire family is still lying neatly in the Star Dou Great Forest."

"Old Zhao, have some water first. You've worked hard on this trip. Who would have thought that an ordinary soul ring hunt could run into so many dangers? Fortunately, fortunately, you all made it back." At this point, Flender abruptly changed his tone and sighed. "Old Zhao, it's not that I don't want to raise your salary. You know the academy's situation—there are nearly more teachers than students, and the funds are truly tight..."

"But don't worry. Once we spread Shrek Academy's reputation and earn endorsement fees, I'll raise your salary immediately. Double pay..."

Zhao Wuji: ...

"That mountain-sized soul beast was probably the Titan Giant Ape, one of the kings of the Star Dou Great Forest." Yu Xiaogang showed off the knowledge he had learned from Spirit Hall. As for those two young people, he had never heard of them either, so he asked, "Did that master and servant have any other distinguishing features?"

"By the way, Grandmaster, have you heard of the Myriad Realms Auction Pavilion?" Zhao Wuji suddenly remembered something. Rather than answering Yu Xiaogang's question, he asked one of his own.

"The Myriad Realms Auction Pavilion?" Yu Xiaogang shook his head.

Seeing that neither Flender nor Yu Xiaogang cared much, Zhao Wuji began, "This is what happened. After that Titled Douluo killed the Couple of Peerless Dragon and Snake, he called us over. I thought..."

"What?!"

"Auctioning treasures from all realms." Yu Xiaogang's eyes lit up. Why had he studied Martial Soul knowledge? Wasn't it because his Martial Soul was restricted and he could not break through level thirty, forcing him to abandon martial cultivation for scholarship? If that Myriad Realms Auction Pavilion was truly so miraculous, perhaps it really could break the limitations caused by his Martial Soul's Malignant Mutation.

"Where is the token? Let me see it, quickly!" Yu Xiaogang urged anxiously.

"The token is with Tang San and the others. His Excellency Su Mu didn't give... didn't give one to me..." Zhao Wuji said awkwardly.

Why the hell does he look down on me?

Tang San had Clear Sky Douluo backing him, and Ning Rongrong had the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. But even brats like Dai Mubai, Xiao Ao, and Ma Hongjun had tokens.

Why didn't His Excellency Su Mu give one to me?

Is my status as a dignified Soul Sage not even worth as much as Dai Mubai and those little brats...?

This is outrageous. Even if Grandma can endure it, Uncle cannot!

"Old Zhao, listen to me. Even if you can't endure it any longer, you still need to endure a little more," Flender teased. "Have you forgotten that the Peerless Dragon Snake family is still lying neatly in the Star Dou Great Forest?"

"You want that too?"

Zhao Wuji immediately shuddered.

Forget it, forget it. Since His Excellency Su Mu did this, he naturally has his reasons.

"Dean, time is of the essence. Shall we go find Xiao San and the others, and take a look at the token?" Yu Xiaogang urged.

Three days later.

Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect

Sword Douluo Chen Xin, dressed in a snow-white robe, with white beard and hair, his long silver hair neatly combed behind his back and brows sharp as swords, said anxiously, "Sect Master, Rongrong has been out on her own for nearly three months. Can you still sit here without worrying?"

"Rongrong has lived in the sect since she was little. Without us looking after her outside, what if she cannot eat her fill, cannot dress warmly, and suffers all kinds of bullying?"

"Uncle Jian, don't worry. According to reports from our spies, Rongrong has already entered Shrek Academy." Ning Fengzhi, dressed in a spotless white robe, with a face like polished jade, a straight nose, square mouth, and gentle, refined features, said, "I'm not worried about Rongrong. It would be good for her to temper her temperament outside. Recently, though, there has been a strange tale. I wonder if Uncle Jian has heard of it?"

Sword Douluo's expression turned solemn. "Sect Master, what could possibly be more important than Rongrong?"

"Uncle Jian, you're good in every way, except that you spoil Rongrong too much." Ning Fengzhi helplessly shook his head and explained, "Recently, a strange occurrence took place in Spirit City."

"It is said that a Myriad Realms Auction Pavilion appeared in Spirit City overnight. The rumors have spread everywhere, making it sound utterly miraculous..."

"It's nothing more than a trick by Spirit Hall." Sword Douluo stated with certainty, "On the territory of Spirit Hall's headquarters, what faction could possibly make such a huge move right under their noses? Impossible."

"Spirit Hall must be plotting something and deliberately released this news."

"I'm afraid it isn't that simple, Uncle Jian." Ning Fengzhi said, "According to information from our covert agents, some powerful figures and high-status individuals in Spirit City have recently received a token."

"It is said to be an Invitation Token issued by the Myriad Realms Auction Pavilion, inviting everyone to attend an auction around twelve days from now."

Sword Douluo waved a hand. "It's only an auction. What is so unusual about that? Our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is wealthy beyond measure. What treasure do we lack?"

"Besides, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has auction houses under its command, spread throughout the major cities of the Heaven Dou Empire."

"Grandpa Jian, Dad."

Suddenly, a crisp and familiar voice rang out.

The two followed the sound and looked over.

A young girl in a simple white dress gave off a clean, refreshing impression. She had neat, ear-length short hair, tender skin like lychee flesh, exquisite features, and a height of around one meter sixty-five. Her figure was perfectly proportioned, her bearing noble and ethereal. She looked like an aristocratic young lady who had received an excellent education, like a warm spring breeze.

She was none other than the treasured pearl of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect—the little devil Ning Rongrong!
