Come Save This Bunny!

Ning Rongrong cried out in surprise.

Then her eyes lit up, and she blurted, "Right, Dad! Did you bring any money with you this time? Hurry and give me a few million to tide me over!"

Ning Fengzhi: "..."

He was momentarily speechless, left utterly disheveled in the wind. This little padded jacket of his seemed to be leaking a little.

At that moment, Zhu Zhuqing also hurried over upon hearing the commotion. The instant she saw the two unfamiliar men, she went on full alert.

"Rongrong, who are they?" Aside from teachers, any unfamiliar man was enough to trigger her vigilance.

"Senior Sister Zhu Zhuqing, don't be nervous!"

Ning Rongrong quickly explained, "This is my dad and Grandpa Bone!"

Upon hearing that, Zhu Zhuqing immediately relaxed and reminded her, "Since they're your family, why are you making them stand outside the door?"

"Ah, right, right, right! Dad, Grandpa Bone, come in and sit down. I'll pour you some water." Only then did Ning Rongrong react.

Ning Fengzhi and Bone Douluo exchanged glances, sighed, and stepped into the courtyard.

They felt as though Ning Rongrong had not changed at all.

Yet they also felt that the air of composure she had gradually developed was utterly incomparable to before.

After living together for so many years, even the slightest changes would leave traces.

For some reason, Ning Fengzhi felt a surge of gratification in his heart.

"Fengzhi, Rongrong seems to have grown stronger!" Gu Rong said quietly.

"I feel it too," Ning Fengzhi replied.

After taking their seats, Ning Fengzhi began questioning her. "Rongrong, do you know why we came? Are you hiding something from your father? And what do you need so many gold coins for?"

Ning Rongrong's eyes darted about. She had merely spoken without thinking just now.

What else could she want money for? To get ready to keep her teacher, of course. What else could it be?

Still, she had already guessed why her father and Gu Rong had come all the way here.

But she could not tell them!

Oh no, oh no. How am I supposed to get them to leave?

She looked at Zhu Zhuqing and sent her a voice transmission. Senior Sister Zhu Zhuqing, what do I do now? Save me!

Zhu Zhuqing was helpless as well. Rongrong, does your stomach hurt?

Though the answer seemed to come out of nowhere, Ning Rongrong understood instantly.

"Ahhh!"

She immediately clutched her stomach, her face full of pain. "Dad, Grandpa Bone, my stomach suddenly hurts so much. I can't keep you company anymore! You've seen me already, so just leave the money and go home first!"

Her acting was so exaggerated that all three people present fell silent.

Zhu Zhuqing raised a hand to her forehead, no longer wanting to get involved.

Gu Rong instinctively wanted to step forward and ask about it, but Ning Fengzhi stopped him with a look.

Only someone who truly loved her would still be willing to play along with her even at a time like this.

"Rongrong..."

Ning Fengzhi's expression darkened slightly. "Stop acting and answer my question."

Seeing that she had been exposed, Ning Rongrong simply gave up pretending. "Dad, of course I need money to pay tuition!"

Ning Fengzhi shot her a glance. This brat was still playing dumb?

"Forget the money for now. You know what I want to ask!"

"Oh, stop forcing me! Unless my teacher says so, I won't tell you anything!"

Ning Fengzhi sighed and stopped pressing her.

"Fine. Then invite your teacher out. I'll talk to him. Is that all right?"

"My teacher went out to handle something. He isn't here!"

Ning Rongrong craned her neck and added, "My teacher is the best teacher in the world. Don't get any other ideas."

Ning Fengzhi suddenly had a bad feeling.

Had his daughter run into some blond punk? That would not do. If she would not let him meet the man, then he absolutely had to meet him.

"He really isn't here?"

"Absolutely not! If you don't believe me, you can ask Zhu Zhuqing!" Ning Rongrong explained.

"All right, if you have nothing else to do, go back first. I still need to cultivate."

Gu Rong interjected, "Rongrong, you can tell us what level you are now, can't you?"

"Grandpa Bone, you're the best. I'm level twenty-nine now."

Gu Rong and Ning Fengzhi both revealed looks of disbelief. How long had she been away? She had already risen three levels?

They had never seen their daughter cultivate with such dedication before!

Could it be that she had not met some blond punk after all, but a genuinely good teacher?

Thinking of the information they had received, their expressions immediately became rather colorful.

They absolutely had to meet this person.

Gu Rong and Ning Fengzhi exchanged smiles and nodded to each other.

"Fengzhi, then we'll stay here and wait for her teacher to return."

Ning Rongrong panicked upon hearing that and hurriedly tried to stop them.

"Huh? No, I don't agree."

Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong had already reached an agreement. Did Ning Rongrong's consent even matter?

"Rongrong, go cultivate. You don't need to worry about us."

"You're being shameless, aren't you? How can you do this..." Ning Rongrong looked utterly aggrieved.

She had no idea what Jiang Yunzhou would think when he returned and saw them.

What if he got angry and started hating her?

But she could do nothing about her father. If they insisted on staying, there was nothing she could do.

For a moment, the atmosphere became awkward.

Just as Ning Rongrong was at her wits' end, the courtyard gate was pushed open again. Xiao Wu skipped inside. "Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, I'm here to mooch another meal... Huh?"

Before she could finish speaking, she saw Ning Fengzhi and Bone Douluo in the courtyard.

Bone Douluo in particular—his heavy, imposing aura and sharp gaze made her feel as though she had fallen into an ice cellar. Her heart began pounding wildly!

Her face instantly turned deathly pale, completely drained of color.

Seeing that something was wrong with her complexion, Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong hurriedly went forward to ask.

Gu Rong's expression tightened as he quietly said to Ning Fengzhi, "Fengzhi, there's something wrong with this girl."

Xiao Wu forced a smile. "Rongrong, they are?"

"Oh, this is my dad and Grandpa Bone. They aren't bad people. Xiao Wu, what's wrong?" Ning Rongrong quickly introduced them.

Xiao Wu did not know whether to laugh or cry. Of course they were not bad people to Ning Rongrong.

Her heart turned bleak. It's over. My identity has been exposed again!

No, what is wrong with this stupid village? A Titled Douluo shows up every other day. What the hell is going on?

The instant she met Gu Rong's eyes, she knew he had seen through her.

"Rongrong, I'm fine."

"Y-you, hello. I-I suddenly remembered I have something to do, so I'll be leaving first!" Xiao Wu turned around and left without looking back.

"Huh? Xiao Wu, didn't you come to eat?"

"R-right, sorry! Rongrong, my stomach suddenly hurts. I'm going back first!"

Xiao Wu fled in panic, and the tears she had been holding back burst from her eyes.

She ran all the way back to the Shilaike Academy dormitory, slammed the door shut, and wrapped herself tightly in her blanket, as if only that could shield her from the terrifying scrutiny outside.

She screamed wildly in her heart, Brother Yunzhou, you said you would protect me! I agreed to become your disciple. Please, come save this bunny!

At some point, Jiang Yunzhou had become her lifeline. Her mind was filled with nothing but him.

Meanwhile, far away in Holy Spirit Village, Jiang Yunzhou knew nothing of what had happened at Supreme Academy.

He could not shake the feeling that this operation had gone a little too smoothly.

He had originally estimated that it would take at least three or four days to gain anything, yet he had succeeded within a single day.

So, he simply moved into the blacksmith shop without a care in the world.

He wanted to wait and see whether Tang Hao would return.

Because he did not know whether Tang Hao had left any contingencies behind on Ah Yin.

Would taking Ah Yin away have triggered some sort of safeguard and alerted him that his home had been robbed?

Yet after waiting bitterly for a day, he did not see even a trace of him.

Jiang Yunzhou was a little disappointed. "Could it be that I beat him too badly last time, and he's hiding in some corner to recover?"

"Ah, I wonder whether those two little girls at home can take care of themselves. Will they go hungry... Forget it, I'm not waiting anymore."
