Brainwashing Master Ning Rongrong

"Xiao Wu, is Shilaike fun?"

Ning Rongrong linked arms with Xiao Wu and began slipping in brainwashing wherever she could.

"Your academy is so ridiculous. Everyone's hair is every color under the sun, like a paint palette. And those people are always looking at others with lecherous eyes! It's downright disgusting."

"You think Zhu Zhuqing is impressive, right? She beat that blond guy so badly he couldn't fight back at all. That's all thanks to our teacher's gui... ah, excellent guidance!"

She nearly let it slip and hurriedly covered it up. "Our teacher isn't just handsome, he's strong too. In his eyes, there isn't a single person who can put up a fight!"

"Ning Rongrong, I have my reasons too." Xiao Wu's eyes dimmed slightly, and she lowered her head sadly.

Zhu Zhuqing, standing beside them, added at just the right moment, "Teacher is a good person."

She suddenly remembered how, at the beginning, she had been full of misunderstandings and private complaints about Jiang Yunzhou's actions.

But now, she sincerely believed that their teacher—who was a little greedy for money, a little shameless, yet spared no effort in giving them the very best—was a good person.

"Ah, enough of that!"

Ning Rongrong changed the subject at once, energetically pulling the two along. "Since we're free right now, let's shop till we drop! Take whatever catches your eye. This young lady is paying!"

"Oh, right, Zhu Zhuqing, do you know Teacher's measurements? I want to get him a few sets of..."

Zhu Zhuqing seemed to think back for a moment before saying, "I don't know the specifics. I only know Teacher once said he was eighteen."

Ning Rongrong: ???

Xiao Wu: ???

Ning Rongrong's little face flushed. She quickly changed the subject, spotted the Sword Grass Bracelet on her wrist, and shook it. "Ahaha, Xiao Wu, look. Isn't this bracelet pretty?"

Xiao Wu said, "Ah, it's so pretty!"

"It was a gift from Teacher when I became his disciple! It has a hundred cubic meters of storage space inside! Every direct disciple of Teacher gets one as standard equipment! Right, Senior Sister Zhu Zhuqing?"

Zhu Zhuqing truly admired Ning Rongrong's silver tongue. She could talk without stopping for even a moment.

Still, she cooperatively nodded, elegantly raising her wrist to reveal an identical bracelet.

Things Teacher gave them were meant to be shown off and make others jealous.

Xiao Wu stared at those magical, expensive storage bracelets, her eyes filled with envy.

She wanted one too!

Before this, all their luggage had been kept in Tang San's belt, which was very inconvenient...

She had never thought much of it before. After all, the two of them had shared a bed for years. Though nothing had happened, they were far more intimate than ordinary people.

But after Ning Rongrong bombarded her with talk about "girls needing independence," "having private space," and "maintaining boundaries," she suddenly felt that she had done quite a few foolish things in the past.

Although it was mainly because she had been young and ignorant back then, and too poor, forced by circumstances.

But now that she had grown up, she really should not continue being so completely without boundaries.

Ever since meeting Jiang Yunzhou and seeing his composed yet slightly roguish demeanor...

Xiao Wu had begun to reflect on her feelings for Tang San.

In her heart, she now leaned more toward seeing Tang San only as an older brother. She could no longer bring herself to consider turning him into a lover.

By the time noon approached, all three of them had their hands full with large and small shopping bags.

Don't ask why they carried them by hand. That was simply how shopping was supposed to feel.

As expected of the sect's little princess, Ning Rongrong had deep pockets. Whenever she saw something she liked, she simply bought it.

She bought things not only for Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing, but also added quite a few daily necessities to the little courtyard.

When Xiao Wu saw the premium sanitary pads that would last an entire year, along with more than a dozen beautiful, exquisite new dresses, new stockings, new shoes, and all sorts of little accessories she had only ever dared to look at before, she was so moved that her eyes reddened.

Although Zhu Zhuqing had never lacked spending money as a noble young lady, this was her first time experiencing such lavish shopping—buying whatever she liked.

This time, Ning Rongrong had picked out dresses in many different styles for her, clearly intending to help her change up her wardrobe.

She did not refuse. If Teacher liked it, then perhaps changing a little was not impossible.

It was just that spending someone else's money always made her feel somewhat guilty.

She decided that she would take better care of this junior sister in the future.

She had to admit that there was still a difference in spending power between a wealthy sect's little princess and an ordinary noble.

This was probably the difference between the script of a beloved group favorite and the script of an underdog's rise.

As Zhu Zhuqing watched the excited Ning Rongrong and the touched Xiao Wu, she silently thought to herself.

Once they had bought almost everything they needed, the three of them carried their bags and prepared to head back.

"Xiao Wu, you must be hungry too, right?"

Ning Rongrong affectionately linked arms with her. "Come eat lunch at our academy! Our teacher's cooking is delicious. I guarantee that once you have it, you'll want a second meal!"

Xiao Wu showed some hesitation and discomfort. "M-maybe not? I'm afraid... afraid it'll be misunderstood..."

Hearing this, Ning Rongrong chuckled and deliberately teased, "Misunderstood? Are you afraid your 'Third Brother' will misunderstand?"

"N-no, that's not it! Don't talk nonsense!"

Xiao Wu hurriedly denied it. "Third Brother and I are just siblings! We don't have that kind of relationship!"

"Then what are you afraid of?"

Ning Rongrong struck while the iron was hot, continuing her grand brainwashing campaign. "Come on, come back with us! If he really only sees you as a little sister, then he won't restrict your freedom. If he wants to control you and interfere in everything you do, then that proves he has other thoughts!"

She shook her head, looking like someone with plenty of experience. "Oh, Xiao Wu, you really need to wise up!"

Ning Rongrong secretly snickered, extremely satisfied with the progress of her attempt to win Xiao Wu over.

If Jiang Yunzhou heard those words, he would probably give her a thumbs-up too—this disciple had incredible comprehension!

She even happily thought to herself, If I smoothly complete Teacher's mission of luring Xiao Wu over, asking for a kiss as a reward when I get back isn't too much, right?

No, no, that's moving too fast. Then touching Teacher's dog waist should be okay, right?

I'm so capable. Teacher will definitely like me even more!

When the three girls brought Xiao Wu to Supreme Academy's little courtyard amid laughter and chatter, Jiang Yunzhou was indeed somewhat surprised.

These two disciples had some serious execution skills!

They had verbally refused to help, but in action, they moved with lightning speed. They had lured her back so quickly?

"Teacher! Teacher!"

The moment Ning Rongrong entered, she chirped as she claimed credit. "Xiao Wu is eating lunch with us! Hurry up and cook, and remember to make more! We didn't eat anything in the city today—we saved our stomachs just to wait for your cooking!"

Looking at Ning Rongrong, who had instantly turned the quiet little courtyard lively, Jiang Yunzhou could not help but feel his mood lighten as well.

"Alright! Then your teacher will show off his skills again!" he readily agreed, tied on an apron, and headed for the kitchen.

Zhu Zhuqing immediately followed silently. She wanted to help out, and also secretly learn some of Teacher's cooking skills.

Naturally, Ning Rongrong would not miss such a wonderful chance to snuggle up to Teacher.
