When Lu Jiang heard Acheron's voice, his heart immediately trembled.
Could these two be at odds with each other? If they started fighting, wouldn't I be doomed? With Acheron and Kafka's combat power, wouldn't they fight until even the Great Dao was ground to dust?
Just as Lu Jiang was about to mediate between them, he realized that Acheron held no hostility toward Kafka.
She had merely repeated the first thing that came to mind when she saw Kafka.
After speaking, Acheron still nodded at Kafka.
Then she looked at Lu Jiang and said with a resolute gaze, "If you ever need me, I will draw my blade for you."
"I will never allow anyone to hurt you."
Lu Jiang did not seem to understand why Acheron had suddenly said such things.
Only Kafka could tell that Acheron must have overheard her conversation with Lu Jiang outside.
So she had come in to compete for his affection.
Although Acheron appeared cold on the surface, perhaps she was actually a good child?
Kafka looked at Acheron with a gentle smile on her face.
Meanwhile, outside the Elder Hall of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
This was the first building to be rebuilt within the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Because the sect's two most important Titled Douluo lived here.
At such a critical time, their importance was even greater than Ning Fengzhi's.
That was why Ning Fengzhi had given the Elder Hall the first opportunity for reconstruction.
His own Sect Master Hall had been placed later in the queue.
Ning Rongrong looked at the pavilion before her, lightly biting her lower lip.
"Hmph. Lu Jiang! No one has ever dumped me before!"
"Since I can't keep you, I'll have Grandpa Jian do it. I refuse to believe even a Titled Douluo can't keep you!"
After muttering to herself, Ning Rongrong gathered her courage and pushed open the doors of the Elder Hall.
Sword Douluo was somewhat surprised when he saw Ning Rongrong.
He hurriedly asked, "Oh, my precious Rongrong. Why have you come here?"
"They're rebuilding houses everywhere outside right now. It's dangerous."
Sword Douluo immediately doted on her, about to place Ning Rongrong on his lap.
At that moment, he suddenly keenly sensed that something seemed off about Ning Rongrong's mood.
So he asked with concern, "What's wrong? Did someone bully you?"
Tears shimmered in Ning Rongrong's eyes as she nodded vigorously.
"Mhm!"
Then she told Chen Xin about how she and Lu Jiang had broken up, only for her to be rejected now when she wanted to reconcile with him.
After she finished, Ning Rongrong pleaded with Chen Xin, "Grandpa Jian, I only want Lu Jiang to stay with me. Can you help me persuade him?"
After hearing this, Chen Xin scratched his head awkwardly before saying to her, "Well... Rongrong, I seem to remember hearing that you were the one who broke up with Lu Jiang."
"Now that you've seen his cultivation soar by leaps and bounds, you want to call him back. That really is rather difficult."
Seeing that even Grandpa Jian, who had always taken her side, was not speaking up for her this time, Ning Rongrong angrily snorted and turned her head away, looking as though she would never speak to him again.
Left with no choice, Chen Xin said, "Alright, alright, alright. I'll go talk to him for you."
"Surely, for Grandpa Jian's sake, he'll reconsider."
Only then did Ning Rongrong happily turn back around.
She gave Chen Xin a loud kiss on the cheek.
Chen Xin immediately felt as though he were floating on air.
Then he took Ning Rongrong by the hand and left the Elder Hall, making their way all the way to Lu Jiang's residence.
Ning Rongrong looked at Lu Jiang's tent, her face filled with confidence.
He used to be part of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect too. He definitely knew Grandpa Jian's standing.
With him stepping in this time, Lu Jiang definitely wouldn't dare utter a word of refusal.
If he still dared to reject her, then even if she had to use harsher methods, she would make Lu Jiang submit.
At that thought, Ning Rongrong's smile became even more confident.
Then she entered the tent together with Chen Xin.
But the moment they stepped inside, both of them were dumbfounded.
At that moment, three peerless beauties were sitting beside Lu Jiang inside the tent.
Chen Xin finally understood why Lu Jiang had been unwilling to agree to Ning Rongrong.
Who could agree to that?
Unexpectedly, after being driven out and then returning, this brat was living an even more comfortable life.
What surprised Ning Rongrong was that there was another girl by Lu Jiang's side whom she had never seen before.
However, this girl appeared to be in her twenties and didn't seem like one of his friends.
Ning Rongrong also didn't believe that Lu Jiang would like someone so much older than himself, so she wasn't too angry.
At that moment, Ning Rongrong tugged at Chen Xin's sleeve.
Chen Xin scratched his head awkwardly before sternly questioning Lu Jiang:
"Brat. My precious granddaughter has taken a liking to you, so don't fail to appreciate my kindness."
"You should think carefully. You'll be living in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect from now on."
"Do you know how much status Rongrong's favor can bring you?"
As soon as Chen Xin said this, an immense pressure erupted from his body.
Then Lu Jiang smiled and said to Chen Xin:
"For Rongrong to like me is naturally my greatest honor."
"As for why I rejected her, I'm sure you've seen it as well."
As he spoke, Lu Jiang gestured toward the three girls behind him.
Chen Xin's face darkened, unable to understand why his precious granddaughter liked such a playboy.
Just as he was about to make a move, Lu Jiang suddenly changed his tone and said:
"These are all my older sisters from my family."
"They knew I had been suffering out here, so they came specifically to support me."
"Before, I was afraid Rongrong would misunderstand, which is why I rejected her time and again."
"Ah, I truly never expected Rongrong to care for me so deeply. I'm really flattered."
After hearing that, Chen Xin nodded in satisfaction. So they were siblings.
That made things much easier.
"Don't worry about that. Our Rongrong doesn't even mind having so many girls around you."
"If you reject her again, wouldn't that be unreasonable?"
Chen Xin nodded in satisfaction.
He had thought he would need to resort to force, but unexpectedly, he had persuaded him so easily.
So he patted Ning Rongrong on the shoulder and said:
"Now that the misunderstanding has been cleared up, the two of you should get to know each other properly."
"I won't meddle in you young people's affairs."
After saying that, Chen Xin left.
Hearing that Lu Jiang had agreed to her, Ning Rongrong excitedly moved closer, wrapped her arms around his arm, and said:
"I knew you had me in your heart."
"From now on, we have to be good together. You're not allowed to scare me like that again."
However, just then, Kafka stepped out from the shadows behind them.
She gently lifted Ning Rongrong's chin and said:
"Listen to me, Ning Rongrong. You are Lu Jiang's most loyal servant."
Kafka held Ning Rongrong's chin, yet not a trace of resistance arose in her heart.
Then they heard her mutter to herself:
"I am Lu Jiang's dog."
