The disciples guarding the sect were all overjoyed after receiving the gifts Ning Rongrong had sent over.
"Thank you for your reward, Eldest Young Lady!"
"Thank you, Eldest Young Lady. From now on, I'll stand guard even more diligently and swear to defend the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect with my life."
Sparkle shyly covered half her face and secretly smiled.
Then she blew them a kiss and said:
"My father has something else for me to do, so I won't keep you gentlemen company."
When she reached the disciple leading the group, she reached out and grabbed the hand holding the gift box.
"Be sure not to open the gifts right now."
"They're gifts I carefully prepared. I'd be embarrassed if you opened them here."
"You must wait until the dead of night before opening them."
Under Sparkle's barrage of sweet words, their hearts had long since been blown to pieces.
"Ah, yes, yes. We'll follow all of Eldest Young Lady's instructions."
At that moment, the disciples could not help thinking to themselves.
She would be embarrassed if they opened it somewhere crowded, and these were gifts personally selected by Eldest Young Lady.
They had to wait until the dead of night to open them.
What else could be inside?
The answer was obvious.
They had to be Ning Rongrong's personally signed photo albums.
Thinking of Ning Rongrong's fiery figure beneath that youthful appearance, every disciple drifted into a blissful daze.
They even forgot to question Lu Jiang.
They simply let Ning Rongrong bring Lu Jiang inside.
In truth, if they had conducted a serious inspection, they definitely would have noticed something suspicious.
His Soul Power of over level thirty alone could not be concealed.
But Ning Rongrong's charm was simply too great.
The little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect—every smile and frown of hers was enough to enchant all living beings.
Naturally, they forgot about Lu Jiang's identity and did not have time to investigate him.
That was precisely why the two of them were able to arrive before Ning Fengzhi so smoothly.
"Good, good, good. My dear daughter, I never expected you to really bring Lu Jiang back."
"It's good that you're back. Good that you're back."
"Lu Jiang, we were in the wrong before. We disregarded your feelings."
"But believe me, our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will never bury talent."
"From now on, you'll be directly promoted to an Inner Disciple."
"And you'll immediately become the Senior Brother of the inner sect. Two Titled Douluo will personally teach you matters related to cultivation. What do you think?"
Ning Fengzhi spoke to Lu Jiang with an utterly confident expression.
In his view, the conditions he offered were already more than sincere.
If it had been the useless Lu Jiang from before, he probably could not have dreamed of such treatment.
After settling Lu Jiang's matter, Ning Fengzhi said:
"Alright, Lu Jiang, you may leave for now. I'll summon you when I need you in the future."
"Rongrong and I still have some matters to discuss."
Lu Jiang nodded, then withdrew from the sect master's hall.
However, he did not leave directly. Instead, he chose to wait outside the hall.
He worried that, with Sparkle's personality, she might cause some trouble inside.
By guarding the door, at least if Sparkle got into trouble, it would be easier for him to take her and run.
At that moment, inside the sect master's hall.
Sparkle wore a proud expression as she said to him:
"How did I do this time?"
"I told you, that guy listens to me. I told him to come back, and he came back. The earlier matter was just a small issue."
"No matter what I tell him to do, he'll obediently listen."
Sparkle was already finding it hard to suppress her true nature.
Yet Ning Fengzhi was not surprised in the slightest.
It seemed he had long become accustomed to Ning Rongrong's two faces.
Then he said to Ning Rongrong:
"Well done, Rongrong."
"As long as you can keep him by your side and make him serve our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."
"In the future, we'll have another rare genius."
"Even if he remains weak, he can still become our fighter later on."
"You did well this time."
Ning Fengzhi's face was full of indulgence.
Then Sparkle lifted her head, looked at Ning Fengzhi, and smiled.
"Hehe, Father. I brought you another gift from outside this time."
With that, Sparkle handed a gift box to Ning Fengzhi.
Ning Fengzhi was somewhat surprised. Rongrong had never brought him a gift before.
Delighted, he placed a key in Ning Rongrong's hand.
"Rongrong, you did well."
"This time, I'll make a special exception and allow you to choose any one reward from our sect's treasure vault."
"I'll inform the elder guarding the vault."
Sparkle laughed happily. After thanking Ning Fengzhi, she took the key and left.
Once outside, Sparkle saw Lu Jiang sitting beneath a tree, already dozing off.
So she walked up to him and said:
"Hey, Little Grey Hair. I was inside scheming against that guy, and you were out here snoring away?"
Lu Jiang was awakened by Sparkle's voice. He slowly opened his eyes, then asked her:
"Ah, Sparkle. How did it go?"
Sparkle proudly pulled out a string of golden keys.
"When Sparkle makes a move, how could she possibly fail?"
"Come on, Little Grey Hair. Sparkle will take you Zero Yuan Shopping."
Upon hearing that, Lu Jiang's eyes immediately widened.
Zero Yuan Shopping?
Could the item in Sparkle's hand be the key to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's treasure vault?
As one of the three great sects and also the wealthiest sect, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect possessed countless Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures in its vault. It was no exaggeration to say that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was as rich as a nation.
Otherwise, how could the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's business have reached the side of Crown Prince Xue Qinghe of the Heaven Dou Empire?
Lu Jiang had only heard before that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect possessed such a treasure vault.
As for what it was actually like inside, he had truly never been there.
After all, before leaving this place, he had only been an Outer Disciple. Naturally, he had never had the chance to visit the treasure vault.
But thanks to Sparkle today, if not for her, he might never have had the chance in his lifetime to witness the sect's treasure vault.
"However, that sect master said he'd notify some elder to watch us."
"If we want to go Zero Yuan Shopping, we don't have much time."
Sparkle reminded Lu Jiang.
Naturally, Lu Jiang understood that.
So he followed Sparkle in search of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's treasure vault.
Along the way, their pairing attracted quite a few stares.
Even though they had previously been boyfriend and girlfriend, they had never shown it in front of outsiders.
Thus, for these disciples, seeing the sect master's daughter walking alongside a man was still extremely shocking.
