Ning Fengzhi Arrives

Ning Rongrong ran back to her room in tears, her cheeks puffed up with anger.

Back home, as long as she shed a couple of tears, what couldn't she get done?

Why had that stopped working now?

Lin Feng was actually quite helpless too.

He was about to do something shady. Was stealing from others something honorable?

That sort of business was hardly suitable for two "innocent" girls to take part in. What if he led them astray?

"Zhu Qing, keep an eye on little Rong Rong. Don't let her make trouble."

"Rest assured, Teacher. I will." Zhu Zhuqing sighed softly and nodded.

After giving his instructions, Lin Feng moved, sweeping out of the academy like a breeze.

He hurried along, asking for directions as he traveled.

With his speed, he reached the legendary Holy Soul Village in just one day.

He took a lap around the village and saw Old Jack, the village chief who had personally sent the "future God King" off to school.

Still, this place seemed rather ordinary.

"So this is supposed to be a geomantic treasure land that produced a God King? Doesn't look like much..."

Muttering to himself, he successfully found the blacksmith shop in the village.

He had thought he might run into Tang Hao here and wait for his prey by the tree stump.

Yet Tang Hao was nowhere to be found, and weeds had overgrown both the front and back of the house.

Clearly, no one had returned for quite some time.

But that was fine. Tang Hao was not his primary target on this trip. He was here to take Ah Yin away!

This was the method he had thought of after an entire night.

The troublesome part was that he did not know exactly where Ah Yin had been planted.

He only knew that, before she had been transplanted to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye, Tang Hao had kept her by his side.

Then she was most likely in Holy Soul Village, though she could also be somewhere in the Star Dou Great Forest.

"This is tricky..." Lin Feng scratched his head.

Since he was already here, he could not return empty-handed.

He had no special detection method, so he could only rely on his senses and carefully search every Blue Silver Grass plant for Soul Power fluctuations.

Thus, the villagers of Holy Soul Village saw a strange outsider wandering around the village that day. He paid particular attention to places where Blue Silver Grass grew, occasionally even muttering to a clump of grass.

"Strange. The village is this small. Where could she be hiding?"

"With Tang Hao's personality, he definitely wouldn't plant her too far away. He'd need it to be convenient for him to 'look at the grass and think of the woman'..."

With that in mind, he began another carpet search centered on Tang San's blacksmith shop.

Finally, at the end of a stream at the foot of the Back Hill behind the house, beyond a curtain of waterfall water, he discovered a hidden cave.

Of course, the plant was not growing inside the cave. After all, it needed sunlight for photosynthesis.

What he found was a Blue Silver Grass plant beside the cave entrance, seemingly growing at random, yet with the surrounding weeds carefully cleared away.

This spot had ample water and sunlight, yet only a single Blue Silver Grass grew there. That was highly unusual.

Furthermore, from this spot, one could just barely see Tang San's home in the distance, and vice versa.

With a Soul Master's eyesight, the Blue Silver Grass could be seen clearly from his home at this distance.

This could not have been a coincidence.

The moment Lin Feng moved a little closer, he sensed an extremely faint Soul Power fluctuation from it.

Delight surged through him. This should be it.

He slowly approached, intending to bluff it, and began his performance.

He reached out and gently stroked the blades. "Ah Yin, you're Ah Yin, right? You know Tang Hao, don't you?"

"He's quite something now. The mighty Clear Sky Douluo spends all day showing off among women, flaunting a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Ring he knows not where he tricked out of someone. Tsk, tsk, what overwhelming swagger—using a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Ring to pick up girls!"

He made up nonsense specifically meant to mess with her head.

What? She did not believe him? Then she should refute him herself!

At first, the Blue Silver Grass beneath his feet showed no reaction.

But as his claims grew more and more outrageous, he felt a blade of grass lightly brush his ankle.

Though there was a breeze at the moment, that touch was definitely not natural!

Lin Feng grinned, finally revealing his dagger. "Did you think I wouldn't recognize you just because you played dead? Let me tell you, your son Tang San is dead! I came specifically to take you to see him!"

Those words were like a thunderclap. The Blue Silver Grass could no longer keep up its disguise. Its blades swayed wildly and even wound themselves around his ankle with a force full of grief and fury, as though questioning him and pleading with him at the same time.

"Hehe, no getting away now!"

Lin Feng laughed smugly and pulled out the Flower Pot he had prepared long ago. "I lied to you just now. I didn't expect you to be so easy to fool. But now, you can't get away."

As he began transplanting her, he muttered, "Your ex-husband is incredibly troublesome. I'm afraid he might pull something underhanded, so I'm using you as a protective talisman. That's reasonable, right?"

"Well, if you don't say anything, I'll take that as agreement."

After successfully transplanting Ah Yin into the Flower Pot, he was in an excellent mood. Just as he prepared to leave, he felt as if he had forgotten something.

He thought for a while, then slapped his forehead. "I nearly forgot. There seems to be something good in this cave too."

Excited, he entered the cave and searched all around...

Before long, he found a box. The item hidden within it gave off Soul Power fluctuations.

"Hahaha~~ Ah Yin, this is your Soul Bone, right? Since you're not living here anymore, I'll help you keep it safe for now."

"Well, you're not saying anything, so I'll take that as agreement."

After packing everything up, he headed straight out of the cave, his mood beyond description.

Ah Yin was actually very weak right now and could not endure being tossed around. The entire Blue Silver Grass plant had gone limp...

Just as Lin Feng successfully stole the grass and the bone, Supreme Academy welcomed two uninvited guests.

One was a refined and elegant middle-aged man, while the other was exceptionally tall, clad in pitch-black, heavy armor. His aura was grave and imposing, inspiring fear at a glance.

They were Ning Fengzhi and Bone Douluo Gu Rong, who had rushed here day and night after receiving that extremely urgent letter.

The two now stood before the academy gates, looking at the somewhat dilapidated little courtyard.

"This is Supreme Academy?" Ning Fengzhi frowned slightly.

"There's no mistake. I can sense Rong Rong's aura. She's inside." Gu Rong confirmed.

It was not that Ning Fengzhi did not believe him. He simply felt that this environment was a little too poor.

He raised his hand and knocked on the door with restraint.

The two girls inside, who were practicing yoga, were both startled by the sound.

Ning Rongrong tilted her head and asked, "Is Teacher back?"

"Probably not so soon..."

Zhu Zhuqing was more composed. "Teacher said it would take at least two or three days."

Ning Rongrong could not be bothered to guess. Wouldn't she know by taking a look?

She excitedly ran over to open the door.

The moment the door opened, her vision went dark.

That was right. She had run straight into a piece of glossy black armor—Gu Rong.

"Grandpa Gu?"

She asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"

Seeing her drenched in fragrant sweat with her hair slightly disheveled, Bone Douluo's heart immediately ached. "Rong Rong! How did you end up like this? Who bullied you? Tell Grandpa Gu, and see if I don't deal with him!"

"No, Grandpa Gu!"

Ning Rongrong hurriedly waved her hands. "I was training! How did you find this place?"

Ning Fengzhi coughed softly and stepped out from behind Gu Rong.

His expression appeared calm, but his gaze had already examined his daughter from head to toe several times.

Only then did she notice Ning Fengzhi behind Bone Douluo.

"Ah! Dad, why are you here too?"
