Ning Rongrong immediately ran over, wrapped her arms around Sword Douluo's arm, and pouted. "Sword Grandpa, when did you arrive? Why didn't you tell Rongrong?"
"I just arrived today. I heard you had come to Shrek Academy, so I hurried over to see you. I didn't cause you any trouble, did I?" Sword Douluo looked at Ning Rongrong fondly and smiled.
"No, no trouble at all. Rongrong is already so happy that Sword Grandpa came." Ning Rongrong chuckled, looking especially delighted.
"That's good, that's good. By the way, Rongrong, nobody has bullied you at Shrek Academy, have they?" Sword Douluo asked with concern.
"Of course not. And I've made lots of friends here." Ning Rongrong pulled Sword Douluo over and pointed at the friends behind her. "They're all my good friends, and they're all very talented. Almost every one of them is a genius."
Sword Douluo immediately laughed. "Hahaha! Then Sword Grandpa can rest assured."
At that moment, Ning Rongrong turned to look at Zhao Wuji and Flender, who were kneeling on the ground, and immediately asked, "Sword Grandpa, what is going on? Why are the dean and vice dean kneeling on the ground?"
Sword Douluo smiled. "Hahaha, it's nothing. They merely bullied Xiao Feng, so I casually punished them. You needn't concern yourself with it."
At that moment, Ning Rongrong immediately looked toward Chen Feng, and her gaze instantly turned cold.
Ning Rongrong shot Chen Feng a glare. Then the grievance in her heart immediately surged forth. She had long wanted to complain about Chen Feng, and today happened to be the perfect opportunity.
Ning Rongrong then put on a pitiful expression and looked at Sword Douluo. "Sword Grandpa, this must all be a misunderstanding. I think Chen Feng is being far too dramatic."
Upon hearing Ning Rongrong's words, the kindly smile on Chen Xin's face changed slightly. He then calmly said, "Rongrong, what do you mean by that?"
Ning Rongrong immediately said, "Sword Grandpa, isn't it normal for teachers to discipline students in the academy? Besides, Chen Feng wasn't even hurt. On the contrary, Teacher Zhao was injured by him.
Was there any need for Chen Feng to be so dramatic, making you come and seek justice for him?
Teacher Zhao was already letting him off easy by not asking him to pay medical expenses."
Chen Xin's eyelids twitched slightly upon hearing Ning Rongrong's words, but he remained composed and continued, "So you believe Xiao Feng was at fault?"
"It was his fault to begin with! He registered and passed the first round of testing, yet he ran around everywhere. Who wouldn't get angry seeing that? So it was only right for Teacher Zhao to teach him a lesson.
So, Sword Grandpa, let them get up, okay?"
Ning Rongrong continued.
Chen Xin looked at Ning Rongrong and said, "Finish what you were saying first."
Seeing Sword Grandpa respond, Ning Rongrong continued talking without pause. "And also, Sword Grandpa, you must stand up for me!"
"Chen Feng... he bullied me. He hit me!"
Ning Rongrong stamped her little foot as she poured out her grievance. By this point, her voice carried a sobbing tone, and she put on a tearful, pitiable appearance that would stir anyone's sympathy at a glance.
Chen Xin looked at Ning Rongrong. "Then tell me, how did Xiao Feng bully you?"
Ning Rongrong was secretly delighted and continued to cry out, "Sword Grandpa, look, it's that vixen beside Chen Feng. She seduced him."
Before she could finish, Chen Feng's gaze turned cold, and he angrily shouted, "Ning Rongrong, do you want to die?"
An icy aura immediately radiated from Chen Feng's body. Ning Rongrong was instantly startled and hurriedly hid behind Sword Douluo.
Sword Douluo slightly raised his hand and shook his head, signaling Chen Feng not to act rashly.
"Xiao Feng."
Seeing the look in his grandfather's eyes, Chen Feng knew that his grandfather would certainly stand on his side. Thus, Chen Feng nodded slightly and continued looking at Ning Rongrong.
He truly wanted to see how Ning Rongrong intended to complain about her.
Still oblivious, Ning Rongrong secretly rejoiced. "Sword Grandpa, Chen Feng has been bewitched by that vixen, so he has become like a completely different person. Not only does he refuse to listen to me, he even struck me."
Ning Rongrong then pointed at her face and immediately said, "Look, he hit me right here. It hurt so much."
"Sword Grandpa, you must teach Chen Feng a proper lesson for me!"
Ning Rongrong shook Sword Douluo's arm as she acted cute.
At that moment, Sword Douluo's arm suddenly became immovable. Ning Rongrong could not shake it at all. Sword Douluo's gaze turned cold as he looked at her. "Rongrong, if Sword Grandpa has understood correctly...
You want me... to punish my own grandson, is that right?"
Even though Sword Douluo's expression had already changed, Ning Rongrong remained unaware and said, "That's right, Sword Grandpa. You must give him a harsh lesson, or he definitely won't remember it.
In the future, he'll surely refuse to listen to me again."
Sword Douluo continued, "So you believe Chen Feng should listen to you?"
"Isn't that obvious? I'm the young lady of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Of course he should listen to me," Ning Rongrong continued.
Upon hearing this, Sword Douluo's gaze grew even colder. What had he heard in Ning Rongrong's words?
Arrogance.
Yes, arrogance.
In her subconscious, Chen Feng was actually still unworthy of standing on equal footing with her.
Because her father was the sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and she was its young lady, while Chen Xin was merely a guest elder of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and Chen Feng was only the grandson of a mere guest elder.
So how could someone of Chen Feng's status possibly stand on equal footing with her?
All along, she had regarded Chen Feng as a servant.
How laughable. The truth was that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect needed them, while they did not necessarily need to remain in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
How could arrogant Ning Rongrong ever have considered that?
At that moment, Chen Xin suddenly burst into laughter.
"Hahaha."
After laughing, he calmly looked at Ning Rongrong. "Rongrong, I haven't heard anything in your words that suggests Xiao Feng did anything wrong. Why should I punish my own grandson for your sake?"
Ning Rongrong froze at once, standing rooted to the spot.
She looked at Sword Grandpa in utter shock. What exactly was happening?
Weren't Sword Grandpa and Bone Grandpa the ones who spoiled her most?
Why had everything changed today? Why would Sword Grandpa... refuse her?
How was that possible?
"Sword Grandpa..." Ning Rongrong looked at Sword Douluo in confusion.
Sword Douluo, Chen Xin, then said coldly, "Rongrong, I believe everything Xiao Feng did was right. Therefore, I will not punish Xiao Feng. On the contrary, I will support him.
Also, move aside a little. Otherwise, my sword aura may hurt you."
As he spoke, terrifying sword aura erupted from Sword Douluo's body. In an instant, Ning Rongrong felt as though countless sharp edges had risen from the arm she was holding. Her hand felt as though it had been pricked, and she immediately let go.
Ning Rongrong was so frightened that she stumbled several steps back.
"Sword Grandpa..." Ning Rongrong looked at Sword Douluo in disbelief.
