"Shopkeeper Li, get out here!" Unable to vent his anger on Ning Rongrong, Bone Douluo took it out on Sword Douluo and Shopkeeper Li.

"Rongrong didn't enjoy her meal today, so there's no need for this inn to continue existing!" Bone Douluo said angrily. In the end, it was all because Shopkeeper Li had set him up.

"Please calm down, the feast has already been prepared in the private room next door. We await the three of you," Shopkeeper Li said with a faint smile. The moment he stepped out earlier, he had known something bad had happened and hurriedly arranged a feast in the neighboring room.

"Rongrong, let's go." Bone Douluo took Ning Rongrong by the hand. Unable to break free, she had no choice but to follow him over.

"Didn't you say you were full? You should go back. I can keep Rongrong company here," Sword Douluo said, directly seeing him off.

"Who said I was full? Besides, whether I'm full or not is none of your damn business!" Bone Douluo vented all his frustration on Sword Douluo.

But Sword Douluo had long become immune to Bone Douluo's temper. No matter what Bone Douluo said, he treated it as though he had heard nothing.

In the private room next door, Bone Douluo spent an entire hour coaxing the little ancestor before it finally ended. Throughout it all, Sword Douluo elegantly drank his wine and watched the show, secretly delighted.

Ning Rongrong was very satisfied with the lunch Shopkeeper Li had arranged. After Bone Douluo spent an hour patiently coaxing and comforting her, all the anger in her heart had dissipated.

The three then returned to the sect. Bone Douluo remained deeply resentful over the matter, convinced that Sword Douluo had arranged everything just to make him embarrass himself.

"By the way, where is that precious disciple of yours?" Bone Douluo had not seen Ye Xiaofeng all day.

"Since he has become my disciple, I have to teach him something. Otherwise, if he loses to someone outside, I don't have skin as thick as yours. I can't afford to lose face," Sword Douluo said with a slight smile as he looked at Bone Douluo.

"You coward! If you're unhappy, fight me! Stop making personal attacks, or I'll get serious with you!" Bone Douluo was furious, and the two looked ready to start fighting.

"Alright, Grandpa Bone, Grandpa Sword. How about we go see him?" Ning Rongrong was also curious about what Sword Douluo had taught Ye Xiaofeng.

The three entered the courtyard where Sword Douluo lived. Ye Xiaofeng was still sitting there, completely motionless.

"Hm? This kid has actually entered a state of enlightenment." Bone Douluo was somewhat surprised to see Ye Xiaofeng enter such a state.

"Grandpa Bone, what is enlightenment?" Ning Rongrong had only recently reached level 30 and had never entered a state of enlightenment before.

"Simply put, enlightenment is the sublimation of understanding. Take the Mind-Distraction Control Secret Method closest to you as an example. If you achieve enlightenment in Heart Separation Control, then when you later master the Three-Aperture Control Heart, Four-Aperture Constant Heart, Five-Aperture Scattered Heart, Six-Aperture As-You-Wish Heart, and Seven-Aperture Exquisite Heart, everything will fall naturally into place." Bone Douluo looked at Ning Rongrong with some regret.

"If you had been a little more diligent and hardworking in your cultivation, perhaps you would have mastered the Three-Aperture Control Heart long ago." Bone Douluo looked at Ye Xiaofeng, then at Ning Rongrong. Both were children, yet why was the difference between someone else's child and his own so enormous?

"Grandpa Bone, do you think Ye Xiaofeng is very impressive?"

"Of course!"

"Do you also feel like taking him as your disciple?"

"How did you know? It's just a pity that the kid isn't willing to take me as his master." Bone Douluo looked at Ye Xiaofeng, feeling as if he had met him too late and Sword Douluo had gotten there first.

"Hmph!" The more Ning Rongrong listened to Bone Douluo, the angrier she became, and she stomped her foot in frustration.

"Rongrong, listen to my explanation. I was just making an analogy. No matter how impressive that kid is, he can't compare to my precious granddaughter." Bone Douluo realized he had said the wrong thing. Even if that was what he truly thought, he could not say it in front of this little devil girl.

"How long will it take for him to wake up?" Hearing Bone Douluo plead for mercy, Ning Rongrong was no longer angry. She might have been a little willful, but Ye Xiaofeng truly was stronger than anyone else she knew.

"That's hard to say. Some take an hour, some a day, some a month, and some even longer. But the longer the enlightenment lasts, the better." Looking at Ye Xiaofeng, Bone Douluo explained that Sword Douluo had always suppressed him because Sword Douluo had once entered a state of enlightenment when he was level 95.

It was precisely because of that enlightenment that Sword Douluo successfully broke through to level 96 and comprehended seven profound meanings of the Killing Word Art.

"Rongrong, why are you here? Uncle Sword, Uncle Bone, you're both here too." Ning Fengzhi also arrived at Sword Douluo's courtyard.

"Uncle Sword, Uncle Bone, this time I want to send Rongrong to Shrek Academy to study." Ning Fengzhi was not informing them; he was asking for their consent.

"Fengzhi, what? Do you think us two old men can't teach Rongrong, or do you think that Shrek Academy can teach her better than we can?" Sword Douluo was the first to object after hearing Ning Fengzhi's words.

"Exactly. I object too. I'm not used to Rongrong being away from me." This time, Bone Douluo finally agreed with Sword Douluo.

"You black dimwit, I didn't expect us to think alike this time." Sword Douluo was somewhat surprised. Every time he made a decision, Bone Douluo would always argue against it.

"Stop flattering yourself. I'm doing this for Rongrong, not for you." Bone Douluo shot Sword Douluo a disdainful look.

"Father, what's so good about that Shrek Academy?" Ning Rongrong had grown tired of staying in the sect and wanted to go out and see the world, but her freedom had always been restricted. Her eyes shifted, as if she had seized an opportunity.

"Shrek Academy specializes in recruiting elite youths. Its headmaster is Flender, the main combatant of the Golden Iron Triangle. Its theory instructor is Yu Xiaogang, an honorary elder of Spirit Hall and also one of the Golden Iron Triangle. There are also other teachers, such as Immovable Ming King Zhao Wuji." Ning Fengzhi said with a smile, clearly very satisfied with Shrek Academy.

"I disagree!"

"I disagree too!"

"I've decided. I'm going to that Shrek Academy Father mentioned."

Just as Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo unanimously opposed it and Ning Fengzhi was at a loss, Ning Rongrong's words shattered the decision of the two men.

"Rongrong, you can't treat your Grandpa Bone like this." Bone Douluo could not bear to see Ning Rongrong leave.

"Rongrong, why go to Shrek Academy? Let your Grandpa Sword teach you. I'll definitely satisfy you." Sword Douluo also did not want this little granddaughter to leave.

"Grandpas, you must understand that Rongrong has grown up and should learn to stand on her own. Don't worry, Rongrong will come visit you both every week." Ning Rongrong had finally found a way to escape them, but she still spoke as though she could not bear to part with them.

"I've already spoken with Headmaster Flender. Hall Master Lei is waiting for you at the gate, and you should leave today. Once you get there, you can't be as willful as you are in the sect. If something happens, no one will be able to look after you." Ning Fengzhi still gave Ning Rongrong a few instructions.

"I know, Father. Your daughter has already grown up. Why are you as nagging as my two grandpas?" Ning Rongrong said impatiently, pouting.

"What did you say?" Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo asked at the same time.

"Hehe, Grandpa Sword, Grandpa Bone, I was only joking. Please don't take it seriously. I'm leaving right away." Ning Rongrong knew she had misspoken and hurried off.
