A Soul Ancestor, a Soul Ancestor at nine years old.

What kind of joke is this?

Even with Innate Full Soul Power, it is impossible to be a Soul Ancestor at nine.

It must be false information spread to attract the attention of their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

And then, logically, to become a son-in-law of their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Ning Rongrong looked at Ye Qingzhou, who was sitting beside her, with disdain.

She must find an opportunity to make this guy embarrass himself in front of her father and the others.

Three rounds of wine had passed, and the dishes had been sampled.

Ning Fengzhi set down his wine glass, wiped the corner of his mouth, and looked at Ye Shuyuan and the others, who had finished their battle with the food.

"Medical Saint, Poison Douluo, I invited you two here this time not only to reminisce but also to discuss a small matter."

Ning Fengzhi's voice remained gentle, but his tone carried a bit more gravity and solemnity.

Ye Shuyuan set down his chopsticks, his expression indifferent: "Sect Master Ning, please speak freely."

Ning Fengzhi glanced at Yu Luomian and nodded slightly as a signal.

Yu Luomian understood, stood up from his seat, and the smile on his face grew even wider:

"Medical Saint, Poison Douluo, let us not beat around the bush."

"A few days ago, my daughter Liu Erlong, who is not very sensible, caused some unpleasantness at Skywater Academy and was sent to Martial Soul Hall to be imprisoned by you two."

"I have come today to ask you both to put in a good word and see if she can be released."

As soon as these words were spoken, the smiles on the faces of Ye Shuyuan, Dugu Bo, and Luo Feng vanished.

Noticing the change in the expressions of Ye Shuyuan and Dugu Bo, Yu Luomian added:

"As long as you can save that girl Liu Erlong, our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan will provide corresponding compensation. I ask that you please show some leniency."

Ye Shuyuan picked up his teacup, took a sip, and said unhurriedly: "Mr. Yu, this matter is likely quite difficult."

"You shouldn't be asking us; you should be asking the victim of this incident, Skywater Academy."

"This situation should never have happened to them. Shui Bing'er clearly refused to help Ma Hongjun resolve his Evil Fire at a brothel, yet your daughter not only refused to leave but instead escalated her threats."

"Do you intend to just let this matter pass like this?"

"Or is this the consistent style of your Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan—using force to coerce others when they are unwilling?"

Yu Luomian's expression changed slightly, but he quickly suppressed it and spoke awkwardly:

"Medical Saint, I ask that you do not implicate the entire sect because of one person's mistake."

Hearing the conversation between the adults, it seemed this incident was about bailing someone out of Martial Soul Hall, which piqued Ning Rongrong's curiosity.

However, she could not interject in the conversation between the adults at all.

She could only turn her gaze toward Ye Qingzhou, who was sitting beside her.

She nudged Ye Qingzhou, who was observing the situation on the battlefield, and whispered: "Hey."

Ye Qingzhou moved a bit further away from Ning Rongrong impatiently and said: "I am not called 'hey,' my name is Ye Qingzhou."

Seeing Ye Qingzhou's reaction to her, Ning Rongrong pouted, her face full of defiance.

No, what does he mean by that?

Is he looking down on this young lady?

She, Ning Rongrong, is the eldest daughter of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect; the people who want to pursue her are lined up from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect all the way to Martial Soul Hall!

What right does he have to look down on her!

Ning Rongrong looked at Ye Qingzhou with resentment: "Fine, fine, fine. So, little brother Ye Qingzhou, could you reveal the details of what happened that day to me?"

As she spoke, Ning Rongrong leaned in closer.

Looking down on me, are you?

Well then, I want to see how far you can back away!

No, what is this little witch trying to do?

Ye Qingzhou looked at Ning Rongrong, who was slowly leaning toward him, his face filled with shock.

He felt that if he didn't speak, or if he kept backing away, this little witch might just end up pressing herself against him.

"Fine, I'll tell you, but we must at least keep our distance."

Ning Rongrong stopped her attempt to get closer to Ye Qingzhou and gave a light huff: "To think a boy could be even shyer than a girl like me."

Ye Qingzhou clicked his tongue: "This isn't called being shy; it's called not wanting to be close to a girl like you."

Hearing this, Ning Rongrong instantly bristled.

"You better explain yourself clearly—what do you mean by 'a girl like me'!"

Ye Shuyuan and the others, who were in the middle of discussing business, heard the bickering between Ning Rongrong and Ye Qingzhou and looked over one after another.

Noticing the gazes of the others, Ye Qingzhou spoke up: "Pay no mind, pay no mind, please continue, do continue!"

Watching the playful bickering between Ye Qingzhou and Ning Rongrong, Ning Fengzhi and the others did not intervene.

In fact, Ning Fengzhi was laughing even harder on the inside.

Small squabbles between children could accelerate the development of their relationship.

Ye Qingzhou gave Ning Rongrong a reproachful look: "You, be quiet for a moment!"

Ning Rongrong turned her head away: "Hmph, this is my home, why should I be quiet?"

Seeing Ning Rongrong acting contrary to his wishes, Ye Qingzhou said helplessly: "Then I simply won't say anything."

"You dare not speak?" Ning Rongrong scolded in a low voice.

Seeing that Ning Rongrong had lowered her volume, Ye Qingzhou recounted the events of that day.

Ye Shuyuan looked toward Ning Fengzhi: "Sect Master Ning, if you were to place Shui Bing'er's perspective onto Ning Rongrong, would you accept Yu Luomian's apology?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of Chen Xin and Gu Rong changed drastically.

Both men fixed their gazes firmly upon Yu Luomian.

Yu Luomian immediately felt an immense pressure bearing down on him.

Chen Xin and Gu Rong spoke almost in unison: "If anyone dared to harbor such thoughts toward our Rongrong, we would naturally exterminate their entire clan!"

Ning Fengzhi spoke calmly: "My view is consistent with theirs."

If they truly substituted the perspective of Skywater Academy's Shui Bing'er into their own situation, Ning Fengzhi and the others would absolutely not tolerate it.

Indeed, as long as disaster does not strike them personally, people will always remain indifferent.

But once it truly reaches their own doorstep, it inevitably leads to chaos.

The atmosphere at the dining table dropped to freezing point.

Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, and Gu Rong had already made their positions clear.

If this threat were not removed, it would be too late if it ever harmed their Ning Rongrong.

Yu Luomian's face looked as miserable as if he had swallowed excrement.

Now, he had no way left to shake the stance of Ye Shuyuan and Dugu Bo.

Liu Erlong, oh Liu Erlong, do not blame your father for being unable to save you.

It was truly too difficult to save her.

He sighed helplessly.

After hearing everything Ye Qingzhou had to say, Ning Rongrong was deeply shocked and cried out:

"Dad, you absolutely must not bail those people from Shrek out."

"I don't want to see that bunch of scum."

As a noble, Ning Rongrong had naturally heard about the brothel incidents from her own subordinates.

Just thinking about the things the people from Shrek had done made her feel disgusted.

"Fine, we won't save them then."

Chen Xin and Gu Rong, who doted on Ning Rongrong the most, naturally agreed without hesitation upon hearing her words.

The situation had become uncontrollable, so Ning Fengzhi looked at Yu Luomian and said:

"Yu Luomian, our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is powerless in this matter, please return."
