Ning Rongrong's Outburst!

Zhu Zhuqing remained utterly unmoved by everything happening before her—from the other Blue Sunshine Academy students finally unable to endure the humiliation and launching an attack against Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun, to Xiao Wu voluntarily joining the fight, Tang San following close behind, and Oscar hiding off to the side to cheer them on. Instead, she continued delicately eating the food on her plate.

Beside her, Ning Rongrong picked up food with her chopsticks and placed it into her little mouth while secretly glancing at Zhu Zhuqing. Even amid such chaos, Zhu Zhuqing was still able to eat with such elegance. Every movement was exceptionally captivating, and a faint smile always seemed to linger on her beautiful face, as though no one else was around. She truly resembled a lofty and noble goddess.

At that moment, Ning Rongrong was screaming wildly in her heart.

"Wow! Zhuqing is way too calm! And why are even her eating movements so poised and elegant? She's just like a real princess with impeccable upbringing."

"When will I ever be as elegant and composed as Zhuqing is now? I'm so jealous!"

"Most importantly, when will my little buns ever be as big as Zhuqing's?!"

"I'm so jealous I could die!"

"The more I look, the more jealous I get!"

"Ahhhhh!"

While screaming inwardly, Ning Rongrong kept sneaking glances at Zhu Zhuqing, absentmindedly moving the tips of her chopsticks around in her little mouth.

As though she had noticed Ning Rongrong's furtive gaze, Zhu Zhuqing shifted her eyes toward her and asked with a curious smile, "What is it? Why have you been staring at me?"

Since Ning Rongrong regarded her as a true best friend, she did not hide anything and directly asked, her tone full of curiosity and confusion, "Zhuqing, how do you make your every movement look so elegant and beautiful?"

"Especially now... I always feel as though you've truly been liberated, and you seem incredibly confident and carefree."

As she spoke, Ning Rongrong's little face reddened. She lowered her head and leaned close to Zhu Zhuqing's ear, whispering softly.

Zhu Zhuqing had not thought much of the first two questions, merely surprised by how perceptive Ning Rongrong was.

However, upon hearing that final whisper, Zhu Zhuqing froze mid-bite, and the tips of her ears inexplicably began to redden.

The two girls then began whispering to each other, paying absolutely no attention to the battle around them.

It was not until the Blue Sunshine Academy teacher stepped forward and arranged for both sides to fight outside the inn that Xiao Wu called out angrily to Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong after discovering that their opponent was actually a high-level Soul King.

"Rongrong, Zhuqing, they're breaking the rules! Their students couldn't win, so they called in their teacher!"

"Come on, you two! Let's go beat up that old green-haired turtle together!"

Upon hearing Xiao Wu's words, Dai Mubai, Tang San, Ma Hongjun, and Oscar—who had all worn grave expressions after learning that Ye Zhiqiu, the middle-aged team leader of Blue Sunshine Soul Master Academy, was a high-level Soul King—simultaneously turned their gazes toward Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing, who were still seated at the table without moving.

After all, with the enhancement of Ning Rongrong's Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, the strength of their side would rise dramatically! Not to mention Zhu Zhuqing, whose incredible speed was perfect for constantly disrupting Ye Zhiqiu, making it difficult for him to focus on confronting them head-on!

That way, they might truly have a chance of defeating the opposing Soul Master teacher, Ye Zhiqiu!

Yet faced with Xiao Wu's invitation and the others' gazes, Zhu Zhuqing merely continued eating the food on the table with elegant composure as she said flatly, "Sorry, but I'm not a 'good Soul Master.'"

Beside her, Ning Rongrong followed with a teasing expression, "Ah-la-la, our sect would never educate us with nonsense like 'those who dare not cause trouble are mediocrities.' So this 'mediocrity' won't be joining the battle of you geniuses. I wouldn't want to hold you geniuses back."

Not far away, Oscar, who had been preparing to leave with Dai Mubai and the others, could not help wearing a complicated expression upon hearing Ning Rongrong speak like that again. He looked somewhat disappointed and dejected. "Rongrong, if you keep acting like this, then you really..."

Before Oscar could finish, Ning Rongrong directly cut him off and snapped back, "Shut up, Oscar! It was only because you people, along with the Shrek Academy dean, ganged up to target and ostracize me these past few days that you managed to confuse me so badly that I started wondering whether I was the one in the wrong!"

"Fortunately, Zhuqing still chose to stand by me. Not only did that give me a real friend, it also let me see all of your true colors!"

"Heh! You people are really hilarious. What gives you the right to speak to me in that tone?!"

"Listen up, Oscar! I am the sole young mistress of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect! You say you like me, then look down on me—do you even have the right to say such things?! Last night, I merely laughed at that lecherous tiger a few times, and he wanted to 'rape me first, kill me afterward, then rape me again and kill me again!' You hid off to the side and watched, and afterward you actually looked down on me for not fitting in with you people?! What a joke!"

With that, Ning Rongrong redirected her fire toward Dai Mubai and sneered coldly, "And you, Dai Mubai—a useless prince who abandoned his five-year-old fiancée in danger, ran away on his own to indulge in debauchery, and played around with all kinds of women. Where did you get the nerve to speak to me like that yesterday?!"

"You're just a useless prince who was suppressed and fled to wait for death, yet you actually dared to say you weren't afraid of me?!"

"Do you think everyone's family is like your royal family, where the whole family treats each other as mortal enemies? If I wanted to, all I'd need to do is write a letter describing how I've been treated at the academy. Do you believe that my Grandpa Sword, Sword Douluo, and my Grandpa Bone, Bone Douluo, could rush here in moments and tear you apart along with this trash academy that has nothing and looks just like a village? They'd scatter even the ashes!"

On the first floor of the inn, everyone was stunned by Ning Rongrong's sudden outburst!

"Gasp?! 'Those who dare not cause trouble are mediocrities'? A Soul Master Academy dean actually said something like that? Is he really the dean of a Soul Master Academy? Isn't he raising Evil Soul Masters?!"

"Didn't that little girl say it? This Shrek Academy is some third-rate Soul Master Academy with nothing at all, just a village! The empire seems to prohibit these kinds of scam academies that cheat people out of their money!"

"It should be prohibited! Just look at the students it produces! Deliberately starting trouble, bullying the weak, and harassing female students! From what that little girl said, those male students seem to have slept with many women despite being so young! They have absolutely no character or morals!"

"Exactly. And listen to what these people said—rape first, kill afterward, then rape again and kill again? Is that something a human could say? That one with the White Tiger martial soul couldn't really be an Evil Soul Master, could he?!"

"Shh, keep it down. That so-called prince seems to be some useless wretch who was suppressed into fleeing from either evil spirits or Evil Soul Masters, so it's fine to talk about him. But that little girl is the young mistress of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and from her tone, she seems deeply favored by the two guardian Douluo of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. There are quite a few disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect nearby—don't provoke that little lady."
