The two arrived outside the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Don't think that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was easy to bully just because it was a sect with support-type martial spirits.
In fact, the opposite was true.
There were quite a few battle soul masters within the sect, because the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect knew its own weaknesses.
So it constantly recruited many battle soul masters.
The two guards before them were the best proof.
Both wore the insignia of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Their strength was above rank thirty, and both were beast martial spirit battle soul masters.
Upon seeing them, the two immediately stopped Ning Rongrong and Ye Yuan.
"Stop right there!" one of them said in a youthful voice.
Ning Rongrong immediately stepped forward. "Are you blind? How dare you stop this young lady!"
One of them recognized Ning Rongrong and immediately pressed down on his companion's back, making him bow to Ning Rongrong.
He said nervously, "I'm sorry, Young Miss. My little brother just started here and has never seen you before."
"Please don't hold it against him."
The newcomer beside him shrank his pupils, never having expected that the person he had stopped was the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
This little ancestor was the darling of the sect's two Title Douluos.
Rumor had it that anyone who offended this little ancestor disappeared!
Being a newcomer, he immediately dropped to his knees. "I'm sorry, Young Miss! I failed to recognize your greatness."
He immediately begged on his knees, "Please spare me."
"I'll never do it again. Please don't kill me."
Ning Rongrong was startled by his sudden behavior.
She was a little angry. She had merely been somewhat mischievous within the sect.
Why was he acting like this?
She immediately ran to Ye Yuan and said nervously, "Brother Ye, don't misunderstand."
"I'm not usually this fierce, and I would never kill someone over such a trivial matter."
"You mustn't misunderstand. I'm definitely not that kind of person."
Ning Rongrong feared that this small incident would lower Ye Yuan's opinion of her.
She was afraid of losing this hard-won friend.
Ye Yuan merely smiled, then reached out and patted Ning Rongrong's head.
"Of course not. Let's go."
Ning Rongrong felt Ye Yuan's warm palm gently rubbing her head.
She could not help lowering her head, enjoying his touch like a little kitten being petted by its owner.
The slightly older man nearby could not help staring in stunned disbelief.
Though this little princess was not as brutal and savage as the rumors claimed, she was still mischievous and spoiled.
When had she ever obediently stood in place like this, allowing a man to pat her head?
Ning Rongrong and Ye Yuan headed into the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
The newcomer turned around, intending to continue guarding the gate.
The man beside him directly smacked him on the head.
Smack!
"Ow! Boss, why'd you hit me on the head?" the newcomer asked in confusion.
"Are you really that thick-headed? No wonder you were assigned to guard the gate with me at such a young age!"
"The opportunity is right in front of you, yet you don't even realize it."
"Take a good look and carve that gentleman's appearance into your mind."
"Even if he hides his face and turns to ashes, you'd better recognize him."
The newcomer was utterly confused. "Why?"
The older man covered his face and shook his head.
"When has our little princess ever been as obedient as a kitten like she was just now?"
"Even in front of the Sect Master, she probably never showed such a delicate, dependent expression."
"He's clearly our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's future son-in-law!"
"If you ever manage to make that gentleman happy, you won't have to guard this gate anymore!"
The newcomer's eyes widened again as realization dawned on him.
"Damn, Big Brother, you're really something!"
With that, the newcomer immediately turned around and stared fixedly at Ye Yuan's retreating figure.
The older man sighed. At least this newcomer listened to advice.
Since he was already guarding the gate, he had not held much hope anyway.
But he still had to be prepared, so that he could seize an opportunity when it came.
Ye Yuan and Ning Rongrong continued toward the main mountain.
The farther they went up the main mountain, the fewer buildings there were around them.
At the summit stood the main hall of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, a place ordinary people had no chance to enter.
Ning Rongrong seemed somewhat worried.
She held Ye Yuan's arm and hid her head behind it.
With Ning Rongrong hanging onto Ye Yuan's side, they encountered no obstruction along the way.
The two pushed open the door, and an aged voice rang out first.
"Rongrong, you're back!" The speaker was Gu Rong.
Ye Yuan looked closely and saw three figures before him.
The two standing to either side radiated powerful auras. Even Ye Yuan's Nine Candle Dragon martial spirit trembled slightly under the pressure they gave off.
If Ye Yuan had guessed correctly, these two were the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's two Title Douluos.
One was Gu Rong, while the other was Chen Xin.
The refined man in green robes standing in the middle was Ning Fengzhi, the current Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Ye Yuan clasped his hands and said, "This junior, Ye Yuan, greets Senior Gu Douluo and Senior Sword Douluo."
Then he turned to Ning Fengzhi and said, "Greetings, Sect Master Ning."
Seeing that the atmosphere was somewhat awkward, Ning Rongrong ran over to Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin and linked arms with them.
"Hehe, Dad, Sword Grandpa, long time no see," Ning Rongrong said awkwardly.
Ning Fengzhi nodded.
Chen Xin, however, said worriedly, "Rongrong, you shouldn't have sneaked out behind our backs."
"Even if you wanted to go out, you should have brought some people with you."
"Besides, what is so great about Shrek Academy? It's just an Immovable King and a Golden Iron Triangle."
"Your Sword Grandpa could suppress them with one hand. Why trouble yourself?"
Ning Rongrong had run off to Shrek on her own, which was why she had kept her head hidden behind Ye Yuan when they arrived.
Ning Rongrong giggled. "Sword Grandpa, I've grown up. It's time for me to see the outside world."
Chen Xin shook his head helplessly.
He knew Ning Rongrong's restless nature well.
The reason she had been able to sneak out this time was also because Ning Fengzhi had secretly permitted it.
Otherwise, Ning Rongrong could never have slipped out of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect under the watch of all three of them.
The group exchanged a few pleasantries.
Chen Xin raised his head and looked at Ye Yuan.
From the moment Ye Yuan had stepped into the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, he had sensed him.
It was the instinct of a Title Douluo, as well as the instinct of an ultimate sword cultivator.
He could sense that Ye Yuan's martial spirit was also a sword, and that his talent was quite exceptional.
Ning Fengzhi was the first to break the silence. In a steady voice, he said, "Rongrong, won't you introduce this little brother to us?"
Ning Rongrong was overjoyed.
She ran over and linked arms with Ye Yuan, a smile on her lips. "Dad, Sword Grandpa, Grandpa Gu, this is Ye Yuan."
"Brother Ye is a friend I met in the Star Dou Great Forest."
"Brother Ye is amazing. His first soul ring was a thousand-year soul ring."
"With strength at rank twenty, he killed a thousand-year soul beast!"
"On our way here, we also encountered a bad guy named Bu Le. He relied on being a soul master to bully men and women everywhere."
"Brother Ye and I joined forces and killed Bu Le, that rank forty-six soul master."
"And Brother Ye also..."
Ning Rongrong kept praising Ye Yuan as though she were praising herself.
Seeing their beloved jewel endlessly extolling Ye Yuan, Ning Fengzhi and the other two could not help smiling.
Ever since Ning Rongrong's mother had passed away, Ning Rongrong had not smiled like this for a long time.
But when the three saw their cherished little Rongrong holding Ye Yuan's arm, they immediately felt something was wrong.
Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong both clenched their fists behind their backs.
Chen Xin gritted his teeth.
The three of them looked as though they wanted to devour Ye Yuan alive.
Feeling their imposing stares, Ye Yuan's heart rose into his throat.
The last time he had been this nervous was in that dream from before.
Damn it, why was he thinking of that woman again?
My dear little ancestor, please stop praising me.
If you keep praising me, these three gentlemen are going to tear your Brother Ye apart. Then there'll be no one left to play with you.
And talk if you want to talk, but stop clinging all over me!
This Sword Grandpa wants nothing more than to cut me down with his sword!
