Ning Rongrong Betrays Shrek? Comparing Ties with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect: Each Taking What They Need, or Ruling the World Together?
The version of herself being "raised in captivity" on the Heavenly Screen was like an inescapable nightmare.
Just as everyone at Shrek hurriedly tried to examine Tang San's injuries,
a gentle yet unquestionable voice pierced through the noisy arena and clearly reached Ning Rongrong's ears.
"Rongrong, come here."
Ning Rongrong's entire body trembled.
She raised her head and looked toward the VIP stands.
There, her father, Ning Fengzhi, stood with his hands behind his back, his expression calm as water and impossible to read.
Beside Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo Chen Xin said nothing.
But his sharp eyes were quietly fixed on her, while a faint sword intent that seemed capable of isolating everything radiated from his body.
"Dad... Grandpa Sword..."
Ning Rongrong bit her lip. She glanced at the unconscious Tang San, then at Xiao Wu, who was crying her heart out, a flicker of struggle passing through her eyes.
"Rongrong, don't be willful."
Ning Fengzhi's voice came again, this time carrying a touch more severity.
"What the Heavenly Screen shows may be another world, but its truths still hold.
There are muddy waters you cannot wade into yet. Come back to the sect's side."
Oscar stood beside Ning Rongrong. Seeing the girl he loved so torn, he instinctively reached out to pull her.
"Rongrong..."
However, before his hand could touch the hem of Ning Rongrong's clothes,
Clang!
An invisible sword qi flashed through the air, carving a deep ravine into the ground before Oscar's feet!
Oscar's face went pale, and cold sweat instantly soaked his back.
If he had taken even one more step forward, that hand of his would probably have been crippled.
"Xiao Ao..."
Ning Rongrong cried out in alarm, then turned to look at Chen Xin, her eyes filled with disbelief.
Grandpa Sword, who loved her most, had actually attacked her companion?
"Rongrong, come here."
Chen Xin finally spoke, his voice indifferent.
"Those not of our kind will surely harbor different intentions.
Since that rabbit has already been exposed, Shrek Academy is now a place of trouble.
If you do not wish to bring disaster upon the sect, come back immediately."
His words were exceptionally blunt—one could even call them cruel.
But everyone intelligent enough to understand could tell that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was drawing a line.
Tang San was unconscious, while Xiao Wu's identity was sensitive and the Heavenly Screen had exposed her "proper use."
Shrek Academy was now a powder keg.
As the head of a sect, Ning Fengzhi would never allow its future heir to remain in this quagmire.
"I'm sorry... everyone..."
Ning Rongrong's eyes reddened. She knew her father's and Grandpa Sword's temperaments.
If she refused to go over, Grandpa Sword would likely truly use force to take her away. That would only make things uglier.
Ning Rongrong took one final deep look at Oscar. With apology and helplessness in her eyes, she slowly loosened her tightly clenched fists, turned, and walked toward the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's stands.
"Rongrong!"
Oscar cried out in despair, but could only watch helplessly as that figure moved farther and farther away from him.
At this moment, Shrek's Seven Devils had truly fallen apart.
[Heavenly Screen Flow: Killing the Heart]
Just as a drama of painful separation and betrayal unfolded in the Real World,
the Heavenly Screen seemed to find it insufficiently ironic. The image shifted, continuing from the previous scene to reveal Tang Shan's relationship with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect in the Current World.
[Comparison Continues] [Relationship with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!] [Original World: Hidden weapon trade, each taking what they need VS Current World: Deep allies, ruling the world together!]
Left Side of the image (Original World):
Tang San and Ning Fengzhi sat at a tea table, haggling over the price of the Godly Zhuge Crossbow.
Although Ning Fengzhi thought highly of Tang San, that regard was more like an elder's appreciation of a junior—or a superior's use of a valuable tool.
Tang San carefully promoted his hidden weapons, trying to accumulate the Tang Sect's first pot of gold.
Meanwhile, on the Right Side of the image (Current World):
[Current World · Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect · Council Hall]
In the image, twelve-year-old Tang Shan sat at one side of the seat of honor, his status actually equal to Ning Fengzhi's!
Sitting across from him were Sword Douluo Chen Xin and Bone Douluo Gu Rong.
On the table was not some external item like a Godly Zhuge Crossbow, but an immortal herb radiating dense golden light.
Aromatic Silk Beauty!
"Uncle Ning."
Tang Shan lifted his teacup and took a light sip, every gesture brimming with nobility.
"This Aromatic Silk Beauty can help Rongrong's Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda evolve into the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda.
As one part of my cousin's betrothal gift, what do you think?"
Seeing this, Tang Shan of the Current World remained utterly calm.
He felt nothing for Ning Rongrong.
Nor did he want to marry a Witch and worship her at home, so he simply took this opportunity to push out one of his cousins.
As a bargaining chip for a marriage alliance, neither of them objected anyway.
As for what the Heavenly Screen called ruling the world together?
More accurately, it meant jointly controlling the world's economy.
With its Martial Soul and inheritance, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was naturally suited for business.
The Clear Sky Sect would control absolute strength and simply make the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect work for it.
[Betrothal Gift!]
The moment those two words appeared, Ning Rongrong of the Real World stumbled and nearly fell.
In the image, Ning Fengzhi stared at the immortal herb, his breathing quickening. The usually composed man actually lost his composure.
"Good! Good! Good!"
Ning Fengzhi said "good" three times in succession. The way he looked at Tang Shan was practically warmer than the way he looked at his own son.
"Shan'er, from this day onward, the Clear Sky Sect and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect shall be allies through life and death!
For Rongrong to marry into the Clear Sky Sect will be her blessing!"
At the side, Sword Douluo Chen Xin looked at Tang Shan with a broad smile. Where was even a trace of the coldness he had displayed in the Real World?
Chen Xin even took out a Spirit Bone radiating terrifying fluctuations and pushed it toward Tang Shan.
"Shan'er, I obtained this thirty-thousand-year right arm bone in my early years. Though it cannot compare with the Clear Sky Sect's foundation, it is still a small token of my regard. Take it and play with it."
[Two-World Comparison, Cruel Reality!]
Left Side:
In order to pursue Ning Rongrong, Oscar suffered greatly because sect rules forbade an auxiliary-type soul master from finding another auxiliary-type soul master.
In the end, he had no choice but to venture out alone for training, narrowly escaping death time and again.
Tang San exhausted himself persuading the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to buy hidden weapons, yet he was only a "partner."
Right Side:
Tang Shan directly produced an immortal herb and helped Ning Rongrong achieve Martial Soul Evolution.
Ning Fengzhi welcomed him with the respect of overturning his shoes, while Sword Douluo presented a Spirit Bone as a meeting gift.
The two powerful sects joined forces, directly securing the position of son-in-law of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!
[Real World · Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect Stands]
Ning Rongrong had just reached her father's side when she saw this scene.
"Do you see it, Rongrong?"
Ning Fengzhi looked at the Heavenly Screen, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes as he spoke quietly to his daughter.
"This is the importance of making the right choice."
"That Tang Shan from that world can give you the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda and bring the sect an enduring foundation for generations.
That is why he is worth everything we have to befriend."
"As for Tang San over here..."
Ning Fengzhi glanced at the unconscious Tang San in the distance, shook his head, and spoke coldly.
"He can barely protect himself, yet he also carries the burden of a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.
If you follow him, you will only drag the sect into eternal ruin."
Ning Rongrong opened her mouth, wanting to argue, only to find her throat blocked as if stuffed with cotton. She could not say a single word.
Because she sorrowfully realized that her father was telling the truth.
Before absolute benefits and strength, the so-called "Shrek bond" seemed unbearably pale and powerless.
