Bibi Dong had been persuaded by Luo Ye and Hu Liena, but not completely.
She still harbored a sliver of hope, deep down wishing that Yu Xiaogang was not as calculating as Luo Ye had claimed.
But she no longer yearned to be with Yu Xiaogang as desperately as before.
She merely wanted to observe him longer and personally verify whether Yu Xiaogang's true nature was really as Luo Ye had described.
And precisely because of this, Bibi Dong did not want to see Yu Xiaogang right now.
Yet Hu Liena actually wanted her to use meeting Yu Xiaogang as an excuse, while really luring Luo Ye to Spirit Hall.
Bibi Dong was extremely resistant to the idea and refused outright.
"No, absolutely not. Think of another way."
Hu Liena spread her hands like a little bear and said helplessly, "What other way is there, Teacher? This is already the best plan I can think of. Why don't you think of a suitable excuse to visit Luo Ye?"
Bibi Dong fell silent and pondered for a long time. She realized that this truly was the best method, yet she still flatly denied it. "You expect me to think of a solution for everything. What use are you, then? Since you want to bring Luo Ye into Spirit Hall, think of a way yourself."
Hu Liena looked at Bibi Dong with a face full of resentment.
She knew perfectly well that her teacher could not think of a better method, which was why she deliberately said that and shoved the responsibility onto her.
But there was nothing she could do. Rank could crush a person to death. Bibi Dong was her teacher, and also the Pope of Spirit Hall.
Since she was unwilling to use the excuse of seeking out Yu Xiaogang to lure Luo Ye back, they could only find another way.
In any case, there was still some time before Luo Ye left Shrek Academy. As long as she and Bibi Dong put their minds to it, they would certainly come up with a better plan.
After Qian Renxue arrived at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, she noticed that the atmosphere in the main hall was somewhat strange.
Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo sat on the same side, neither of them even glancing at Ning Fengzhi. Meanwhile, Ning Fengzhi, the sect master, merely wore a bitter smile and said nothing.
After thinking briefly, Qian Renxue immediately realized the truth. She deliberately looked at Ning Fengzhi with curiosity and asked, "Teacher, has Junior Sister Rongrong already gone to that Shrek Academy?"
Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi's smile became even more bitter. He helplessly shook his head and sighed. "Rongrong has already been admitted. She is now a student of Shrek Academy."
Qian Renxue blinked, hesitating several times before finally seeming unable to hold herself back. "According to the information I received, Shrek Academy's teaching methods are very problematic. Letting Junior Sister Rongrong become their student may not be a good thing."
Before Ning Fengzhi could speak, Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo looked at her and asked in unison, "His Highness the Crown Prince, what exactly do you mean by problematic?"
Qian Renxue did not beat around the bush. Her tone was rather grave. "Shrek Academy differs from other academies. It is more like a sect. They will do everything possible to crush their students' pride, acting as though becoming a student of Shrek Academy is some great honor."
"Once the students stop resisting their oppression, those people will not restrain themselves. Instead, they will intensify it until the students obey their every command."
"This so-called Shrek Academy treats its students even more harshly than some sects."
As Qian Renxue's words fell, Ning Fengzhi furrowed his brows, while Chen Xin and Gu Yuena's expressions became even uglier.
Chen Xin snorted coldly. "I said from the start that Rongrong should never have been sent to any Shrek Academy. What benefit could there be for Rongrong in attending an academy in some remote little city?"
Gu Yuena glared fiercely at him and reproached him, "You were the one who took Rongrong to Shrek Academy. How many chances did you have along the way to bring her back? Why didn't you do it?"
Chen Xin said nothing, merely shifting his gaze toward Ning Fengzhi.
If Ning Fengzhi had not agreed to let Ning Rongrong attend Shrek Academy, he had at least nine ways—at least nine ways—to bring Ning Rongrong back!
Having thought that far, Chen Xin no longer hesitated. He rose to his feet and said, "Fengzhi, I'll go bring Rongrong back right now. If those Shrek Academy people really are suppressing Rongrong, I'd like to see whether they can stop my sword."
Gu Yuena also stood and chimed in, "I'll go with this bastard and see just how bold those Shrek Academy people are."
After all, Ning Rongrong had always been a treasure they were afraid to drop even when holding her in their hands, afraid to melt even when keeping her in their mouths.
If she had truly suffered oppression from Flender and the others at Shrek Academy, then those people were truly tired of living.
Ning Fengzhi hesitated somewhat.
The reason he had agreed to Ning Rongrong's request to attend Shrek Academy in the first place was to temper her temperament properly.
After all, she was his only daughter and was destined to inherit the position of sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect in the future.
If Ning Rongrong's personality did not change, she might one day bring great disaster upon the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Thus, even after hearing about Shrek Academy's teaching methods from Qian Renxue, Ning Fengzhi still did not want to bring her back just like that.
Under Chen Xin and Gu Yuena's gazes, Ning Fengzhi forced himself to say, "Uncle Sword, Uncle Bone, don't get so worked up. With Rongrong's spoiled and willful nature, being suppressed a little may be a good thing."
Seeing that Chen Xin and Gu Yuena were about to lose their tempers, Ning Fengzhi hurriedly added, "Don't worry. If Flender and the others go too far, I will definitely bring Rongrong back immediately."
Qian Renxue's eyes flickered.
It seemed she could not directly spur Ning Fengzhi into action this time. In that case, she needed to change her strategy.
Seeing that Chen Xin and Gu Yuena still wanted to say something, Qian Renxue quickly stepped forward to smooth things over. "There is no need to worry too much. With Rongrong's intelligence, if she realizes that Shrek Academy is not suitable for her, she will definitely come back on her own."
"When that time comes, with me here, Rongrong can absolutely attend Heaven Dou Royal Academy."
Although Qian Renxue's cultivation talent was very "weak," she was still the Heaven Dou Crown Prince and would most likely become the Heaven Dou Emperor in the future.
Chen Xin and Gu Yuena did not mind giving her some face.
Though they dearly loved Ning Rongrong and did not want her to suffer suppression, even they had to admit that Ning Rongrong had been spoiled into being far too willful. Going alone to Shrek Academy to gain some experience might not be a bad choice.
Chen Xin snorted. "Then we'll leave it at that for now. But if I find out that Rongrong is not doing well there, no matter what any of you say, I will definitely bring her back."
Seeing Chen Xin's attitude soften somewhat, Ning Fengzhi quickly promised, "Don't worry, Uncle Sword. Rongrong is my daughter. Of course I won't let her suffer too much."
