Ning Rongrong Visits Blue Silver Academy! Tit for Tat!

So, there was a vast, boundless world even beyond the Six-Winged Angel martial soul!

So, the age of a spirit ring could truly be broken through by sheer force of will!

Qian Renxue listened, utterly intoxicated, and the look in her eyes as she gazed at Chen Xuan shifted from her initial adoration to a fervor that bordered on religious fanaticism.

This man, he was not human.

He was a god!

The one and only true god walking upon the earth!

Unconsciously, Qian Renxue's body shifted toward Chen Xuan, wanting to be closer to him, wanting to feel the reassuring aura of the Dao that emanated from him more clearly.

This small movement of hers immediately triggered Ah Yin's vigilance on the other side.

Although Ah Yin was also listening intently, the greater part of her focus remained on Chen Xuan.

Chen Xuan was her benefactor who had given her a new life, the only person she wished to repay in this lifetime.

Seeing Qian Renxue move closer to Chen Xuan, a strong, primal instinct surged within her heart.

It was the territorial instinct of a plant protecting its own.

This man is mine.

Without a second thought, Ah Yin's body reacted, and she silently moved toward Chen Xuan from the other side.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the courtyard became somewhat subtle.

Chen Xuan stood in the center, with the noble, golden-haired Qian Renxue on his left and the gentle, blue-haired Ah Yin on his right; two stunning women, like the most loyal of believers, yet also like rivals locked in a secret contest.

Just then, another figure rushed in.

"Teacher!"

The person who arrived was none other than Dugu Yan.

She had encountered a bottleneck while cultivating today and, unable to find a solution, had decided to seek Chen Xuan's guidance in the dead of night.

However, when she stepped into the backyard and saw the scene before her, she froze solid.

Under the moonlight.

Her teacher, Chen Xuan, stood with his hands behind his back, looking like a deity.

To the teacher's left sat Qian Renxue.

To the teacher's right sat a beautiful, blue-haired woman she had never seen before.

Embracing one on each side?

And one of them was the crown prince of the Heaven Dou Empire?

Dugu Yan's brain let out a "buzz," instantly filled with all sorts of scandalous thoughts.

She opened her mouth, her gaze darting between the three of them, before she finally squeezed out a sentence.

"Teacher, you... you're quite the player, aren't you?"

As soon as these words left her mouth, Qian Renxue and Ah Yin frowned simultaneously, looking at this unbridled intruder.

Qian Renxue's heart jumped into her throat.

Dugu Yan!

Why was she here!

Aside from Chen Xuan, no one in the academy knew her true identity as a woman; if it were to slip out...

Dugu Yan didn't care about any of that; she walked up boldly and asked curiously, "Teacher, aren't you going to introduce us? Who are these two..."

Qian Renxue's heart hung in the balance.

Chen Xuan glanced at Dugu Yan, his expression unchanged as he spoke indifferently.

"These two are your senior sisters."

Sen... senior sisters?

Dugu Yan was stunned, looking from the noble and aloof "Xue Qinghe" to the gentle, water-like blue-haired woman.

That's it?

Senior sisters?

She curled her lips, muttering to herself in her heart.

I almost thought they were two mistresses.

Of course, she didn't dare say that out loud.

Since they were senior sisters, there was no problem.

Dugu Yan immediately put aside her playful thoughts and bowed respectfully to Chen Xuan.

"Teacher, while cultivating the 'Jade Phosphorus Profound Technique,' I encountered some confusion regarding the condensation of spirit power, so I came specifically to ask for your guidance."

Chen Xuan nodded.

"Sit down, you might as well listen in."

"Yes!"

Dugu Yan was overjoyed and quickly found a seat on the other side of the stone table, perking up her ears to listen to the teachings.

And so, in the courtyard, the three women sat in a circle, listening to the Great Dao together.

Meanwhile.

Outside the gates of Blue Silver Academy, a magnificent carriage slowly came to a halt.

The curtain was lifted, and Ning Rongrong, dressed in a pink gown, stepped down surrounded by a group of guards.

She looked up, sizing up the academy that had been gaining such a reputation.

"Hmph, and here I thought it was some divine residence; isn't it just built with slightly more luxurious materials than Shrek?"

She curled her lip, her eyes filled with disdain.

"There's no real difference."

In her view, the architectural style of this academy was overly crude and lacked refinement; compared to the pavilions and towers of their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, it was a world apart.

Carrying this critical attitude, Ning Rongrong walked into the academy.

As she walked, she saw that most of the students were dressed plainly, and their martial souls were bizarre—hoes, sickles, Blue Silver Grass—making her frown deeply.

When she reached the central plaza of the academy and saw the massive statue of the Blue Silver Grass, her disdain grew even stronger.

"Using a trash martial soul as a totem."

However, the moment this thought crossed her mind, a sudden change occurred.

She felt her own Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda martial soul tremble uncontrollably, and the moment she stepped into this area, the speed at which her soul power circulated increased by a fraction!

Although it was only a fraction, for someone like her who possessed a top-tier martial soul, she could perceive it clearly!

"What is going on?"

Ning Rongrong was shocked and quickly stopped in her tracks to sense it carefully.

That's right!

This place really could accelerate cultivation speed!

This discovery sent a jolt through her heart.

Could it be that this Chen Xuan really had something unique about him?

No, impossible!

Ning Rongrong quickly found a justification.

"Hmph, it must be that this place is naturally a geomantic treasure land, and he just happened to occupy it by luck; it has nothing to do with his nonsensical theories."

She convinced herself of this, but her curiosity about Chen Xuan deepened.

Just then, the corner of her eye caught a figure that was both familiar and strange.

It was a young girl sweeping the plaza, looking to be about her age, wearing the academy uniform and working hard with a broom.

Ning Rongrong narrowed her eyes, thought for a long time, and finally recognized her.

"Xiao Xiao?"

The girl looked up at the sound, and the moment she saw Ning Rongrong, her expression shifted slightly.

Xiao Xiao had once been an outer disciple of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, but because her martial soul was Foxtail Grass and her Innate Soul Power was only half a level, she was considered a disgrace to the sect and eventually expelled.

A mocking smile curled the corners of Ning Rongrong's lips.

She found it even more ridiculous.

Blue Silver Academy would even take in someone the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect didn't want?

She walked forward with elegant steps and asked condescendingly, "Hey, where is that Dean Chen Xuan?"

Xiao Xiao recognized Ning Rongrong, and her grip on the broom tightened involuntarily.

Back in the sect, this young lady of the Ning family had often publicly belittled her, saying her Foxtail Grass martial soul wasn't even fit to carry the shoes of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda.

Seeing her again now, Xiao Xiao no longer felt the inferiority she once had; instead, a sense of confidence rose within her.

She spoke coldly, "Young Lady Ning, shouldn't you be staying at your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect? What are you doing at our Blue Silver Academy?"

Ning Rongrong did not expect an outcast to dare speak to her in such a tone, and her willow-leaf eyebrows immediately shot up.

"Insolent!"

She scolded, "A person kicked out of the sect, and you dare give me attitude? Do I need to report to you who I'm looking for?"
