Ning Rongrong: Are You All Ganging Up to Tease Me? I'm Going to Get Angry!

Thump~ thump~ thump~

The hearts of Ozka and Feng Xiaodi were pounding wildly.

To think there was someone in this world who had never heard the great name of Emperor Qingtian—it was a joke! A joke that spanned the entire continent!

Feng Xiaodi took a deep breath, wanting to confirm it once more, and repeated, "Qian Xunji is the former Pope?"

"That's right!"

"Then what is the name of Qian Xunji's older brother?"

The youth frowned and asked in return, "Does the former Pope have an older brother? I've never heard of such a thing!"

"Whew~"

Feng Xiaodi let out a long sigh, looking at Ozka with a face full of sudden realization, speaking as if to himself, "I was wondering why this world felt so strange everywhere! It turns out this world has no Emperor Qingtian!"

Ozka licked his dry lips and muttered, "So! This world has no martial cultivation techniques! No efficient soul power cultivation methods! No techniques for self-condensing soul rings! The continent isn't unified! And there are no cultivation methods provided for commoners!"

Feng Xiaodi continued, "So, Feng Xiaotian is a Soul Ancestor at 23, and Yu Tianheng is also a Soul Ancestor at 20!"

Ozka took up the thread, "So, my counterpart is likely only at the twentieth or thirtieth level of cultivation, not some Soul Emperor or Soul Saint at all!"

Feng Xiaodi, "So, the two Title Douluo beside the Grand Princess's counterpart really couldn't beat me! They weren't holding back! I thought they were just spitting blood because they were so profound that even their speech carried blood—it wasn't that simple at all!"

Ozka, "So, it was us who were biased all along! We felt the soul power in nature was thirty percent denser than back home, and then... we created our own imaginary enemies!"

Feng Xiaodi said speechlessly, "Heh~ we went off the rails~~"

Ozka gave a bitter laugh, "Heh~ we overthought it~~"

The two looked at each other and smiled, both wanting to say to the other: Heh~~ you really are stupid!

The youth watched them talking to themselves, scratched his head, and asked, "Do you two have anything else you'd like to ask?"

"Uh... tell us more about Martial Soul Hall and the two great empires."

"Sure thing! Speaking of Martial Soul Hall, every year they awaken martial souls for the commoners..."

On this side, Ozka and Feng Xiaodi had finally sorted out their thoughts.

On the other side, Ning Rongrong had just returned to Shrek when she saw Oscar running over, looking quite chipper.

"Rongrong, did you successfully obtain your third soul ring?"

"Hmm?"

Ning Rongrong looked at Oscar in confusion and asked, "How did you get back so quickly? Not only did you shave your beard, but you also changed your clothes?"

"What are you talking about?" Oscar was puzzled for a moment, then pushed the question to the back of his mind and said with a smile, "Rongrong, congratulations! You've become a Soul Elder!"

Ning Rongrong blinked, feeling something was strange, and asked, "By the way, what did you and Feng Xiaotian go do?"

"Feng Xiaotian? Who is that?"

"Ah?"

Ning Rongrong was stunned.

Oscar blinked blankly and asked, "Rongrong, who are you talking about?"

"Feng Xiaotian! The Feng Xiaotian who was just with you! We came back from the Sunset Forest together!"

"Who?" Oscar paused and explained, "I've been at the academy the whole time; how could I have come back from the Sunset Forest with you?"

Ning Rongrong said, bewildered, "What are you talking about? We just parted ways at the gate of Tiandou City! Did you run back so fast just to pretend you haven't seen me?"

"I really have been inside Shrek Academy the whole time, I haven't gone out! If you don't believe me, ask Fatty."

Ma Hongjun nodded and said, "That's right, Rongrong, did you remember wrong? Brother Ao has been cultivating in the academy the whole time! If you don't believe me, ask Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, and Boss Dai!"

Then, Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, and Dai Mubai all stepped up to vouch for Oscar.

Ning Rongrong was even more confused and said solemnly, "I am not lying to you! I walked all the way back from the Sunset Forest with Oscar and Feng Xiaotian! My Grandpa Gu can testify!"

Dai Mubai asked, "Where is your Grandpa Gu?"

"He sent me to the city gate and then returned to the sect. I really did come back with Oscar! He was wearing very strange clothes at the time and even had a beard!"

Oscar shook his head and said, "I didn't have a beard, I didn't go out, and I certainly didn't go to the Sunset Forest!"

"You! All of you!" Ning Rongrong was so angry that hot air puffed from her nose.

Xiao Wu ran over and tugged on Ning Rongrong's arm, laughing, "Alright, alright, Rongrong, you might have mistaken someone else for him."

"How is that possible? We traveled together for over three hours!"

Xiao Wu scratched her head, looking blank, "But, Brother Ao has really been staying in the academy the whole time and hasn't left?"

Ning Rongrong: "..."

"Are you all ganging up to lie to me? To tease me? I'm going to get angry!"

Oscar said sincerely, "Rongrong, how could I lie to you? I like you too much to do that!"

Ning Rongrong looked at the few people in front of her, bewildered; none of them seemed to be lying, and she fell into a state of self-doubt.

At this moment, Yu Xiaogang walked over and shouted at the group, "What are you all doing? Have you finished your two hours of weighted running today? Have you properly reflected on whether you've been slacking off?"

The crowd scattered like birds and beasts.

Ning Rongrong was filled with confusion.

Meanwhile.

Inside the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Dugu Xue had been observing from the shadows for a long time.

Ahead of him were an old man with light grayish-green hair and a black-haired youth.

The light grayish-green-haired old man looked very similar to Dugu Xue, except one was extremely aged, while the other was merely a middle-aged man with a few strands of white at his temples.

Is he my counterpart? Dugu Xue observed for a long time before finding the answer.

However, Dugu Xue could not understand what his counterpart and that youth were doing next!

He watched for a very long time until he finally had a vague guess.

Could it be... could it be that the me of this world hasn't solved the flaw in his martial soul yet? Level 91 spirit power, plagued by illness—these are indeed symptoms of poison marrow-deep! That shouldn't be right? Could it be that he didn't follow Emperor Qingtian?

He watched for a while longer.

Dugu Xue thought to himself: This youth's understanding of poison is actually quite commendable! But this person has impure motives! Moreover, it is clear that he recognizes these immortal herbs and wants to claim them for himself! Eh? Blue Silver Grass martial soul? Level 32 spirit power? His cultivation is indeed a bit low, and he looks somewhat like someone; there is a two or three-part resemblance in his features... Wait! It couldn't possibly be the counterpart of that Third Prince, could it? This youth with impure motives is definitely not the counterpart of the upright Third Prince, Qian Pingchuan!

Continuing to watch for a while, Dugu Xue could not help but shake his head, thinking: The me of this world is truly naive! He is actually being coaxed by a few words into gifting this entire garden of immortal herbs to someone else! Eh? Wait!

Dugu Xue pondered for a long time, thinking: Isn't this herb garden owned by Emperor Qingtian? My counterpart is actually going to give away Emperor Qingtian's garden? Betraying Emperor Qingtian? That's not right~! How could my counterpart betray Emperor Qingtian? Even if it's a different world, it's impossible to betray Emperor Qingtian! Even if his brain went haywire, he couldn't possibly betray Emperor Qingtian, right?

Dugu Xue could not figure it out, but he knew there must be something fishy going on!
