Ning Fengzhi Stunned, Ning Rongrong Betrays Shrek?!

Not bad.

With this item, the cultivation environment of Blue Silver Academy will surpass any blessed land on the continent.

By then, won't every genius disciple be scrambling to get in?

The great cause of recruiting disciples is well within reach.

Chen Xuan composed his mind and turned his gaze back to the present.

Ning Rongrong remained in a kneeling position, her excited face flushed red, her eyes filled with adoration and longing.

Seeing that Chen Xuan had accepted her, she realized belatedly that she did not even know the name of this god-like master.

She cautiously lifted her head, her voice trembling slightly.

"Disciple... disciple Ning Rongrong, greets Master."

"May I... may I ask for Master's honorable name?"

Chen Xuan's expression remained indifferent as he said casually, "Chen Xuan, Dean of Blue Silver Academy."

BOOM!

These few simple words struck like a bolt of divine lightning, exploding in Ning Rongrong's mind!

Chen Xuan!

He was Chen Xuan!

The legendary Dean of Blue Silver Academy who could trigger Martial Soul Evolution!

The "fraud" whom Yu Xiaogang had denounced as a heretic who led students astray!

The mysterious existence who had granted Xiao Xiao a new life and allowed her to be reborn!

So...

So it was this handsome, ethereal man before her, who looked like an immortal descended from the heavens!

Ning Rongrong was completely stunned. Her beautiful eyes widened as she stared blankly at Chen Xuan, her heart pounding uncontrollably.

Under the moonlight, Chen Xuan's white robes were as pure as snow, his facial features sharp and defined, his temperament a mix of detachment and a reassuring gentleness.

He was truly handsome.

More handsome than any man she had ever seen.

Thinking of how she had previously listened to Yu Xiaogang's nonsense, harbored prejudices against this senior, and even come to the academy to stir up trouble, her cheeks burned with heat.

Her figure, accentuated by her pink dress, looked even more curvaceous, and she nervously pressed her long, snow-white legs together, giving her the bashful air of a young girl meeting her crush for the first time.

If only she had known...

If she had known the Dean was this handsome and possessed such heaven-defying methods, why would she have ever considered going to Shrek?

Why suffer the poison of Yu Xiaogang's rigid theories or endure the eccentric tempers of people like Tang San and Dai Mubai?

Following by Master's side was the true path to the heavens!

Seeing her stare blankly at him without speaking for a long time, Chen Xuan couldn't help but ask:

"What is it?"

Ning Rongrong jolted back to her senses, her face turning even redder. She hurriedly lowered her head and waved her hands incoherently.

"No, nothing! Disciple was just... just too excited!"

She took a deep breath, gathered her courage, and lifted her pretty, moving face, her eyes sparkling with hope.

"Master, when will you be free? Rongrong would like to invite you to visit our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. My father, Sword Grandpa, and Bone Grandpa would definitely welcome you!"

She wanted her father and the elders of the sect to see the peerless grace of her master with their own eyes!

Hearing this, Chen Xuan shook his head.

"I am very busy lately."

He was indeed busy; he had to bury the spirit veins, guide his disciples, and research Ah Yin's cultivation techniques.

Visiting the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was not in his plans for the time being.

Being rejected so bluntly, Ning Rongrong felt a sudden wave of disappointment.

But her young mistress's temper flared, and the unyielding spirit in her bones drove her to make a bold move.

She stood up from the ground, took a few steps forward, grabbed Chen Xuan's arm, and began to shake it gently, her voice turning soft and sweet.

"Master~"

"Just go once, please? My Martial Soul being able to evolve is a monumental event; my father will surely prepare a generous gift to thank you properly!"

The girl's soft, warm body pressed against his arm, bringing with it a fragrant scent. Her coquettish behavior was enough to make any man's heart soften.

However, before Chen Xuan could react, the expressions of the three women beside him changed instantly.

"Insolence!"

A cold, sharp reprimand rang out.

A chill flashed through Qian Renxue's golden eyes as she stared at Ning Rongrong, her tone unkind.

This shameless little hussy, daring to lay hands on Teacher the moment she becomes his disciple?

Dugu Yan was even more direct; she crossed her arms over her chest, rolled her eyes at Ning Rongrong, and curled her lip, her entire face practically screaming the word "vixen."

Even Ah Yin, who was always gentle and quiet, looked at Ning Rongrong with eyes full of hostility.

It was an instinctive rejection, as if her own territory had been invaded.

The temperature in the air seemed to drop by several degrees.

Ning Rongrong had never experienced such a scene; she felt those three gazes like three sharp swords piercing straight into her.

She shuddered, releasing Chen Xuan's arm as if she had been electrocuted, and hurriedly retreated two steps, her pretty face turning deathly pale.

"I... I didn't mean it like that..."

She stammered in explanation, "I just wanted to express my sincerity, there was no other meaning, really!"

Oh, heavens!

Ning Rongrong wailed in her heart.

Why were the women by Master's side more terrifying than the last?

The blonde one had a noble aura; one look told her she was no ordinary person.

The purple-haired one was the granddaughter of Poison Douluo, notorious for being someone not to be trifled with.

Even the blue-haired sister, who looked the gentlest, was staring at her as if she wanted to eat her alive!

It seemed that if she wanted to gain a firm foothold by Master's side, she would have to work twice as hard!

Chen Xuan seemed oblivious to the undercurrents surging through the courtyard, merely glancing at Ning Rongrong indifferently.

"There will be an opportunity to visit the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect in the future."

A single promise caused Ning Rongrong, who had already been in despair, to instantly brighten up.

"Really?!" She looked up in pleasant surprise.

"Mm."

"That's wonderful! Rongrong will wait for Master!"

Ning Rongrong bowed deeply to Chen Xuan in excitement, her pink skirt swaying as her long, beautiful legs appeared even more luminous under the moonlight, heart-stirringly lovely.

Time flowed slowly by.

Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, main assembly hall.

Sect Master Ning Fengzhi sat upright in the main seat, his brows slightly furrowed as he held a cup of tea that had long since gone cold.

Below him, Sword Douluo Chen Xin sat with his eyes closed in meditation, while Bone Douluo Gu Rong appeared somewhat impatient.

"Blue Silver Academy... Chen Xuan."

Ning Fengzhi spoke slowly, breaking the silence in the hall. "This person appeared out of nowhere, yet in just one year, he has stirred up such a storm in Heaven Dou City. Uncle Gu, Chen Xin, what do you think?"

Gu Rong let out a "hmph" and said in a muffled voice:

"What Martial Soul Evolution? I think it's just some deceptive trick."

"Either he got lucky and stumbled upon a few immortal-grade herbs somewhere, and is just putting on a show."

Sword Douluo Chen Xin slowly opened his eyes, his gaze calm.

"He cannot be underestimated."

"That old poison-user Dugu Bo is so reclusive and arrogant, yet he sent his own precious granddaughter to him."

"Furthermore, intelligence reports confirm that Dugu Yan's martial soul has indeed mutated, and her strength has greatly increased."

He paused, then continued, "This matter is likely not simple."

Ning Fengzhi sighed and rubbed his temples.

"Indeed, Martial Soul Evolution... if it is true, it will be a subversion of the entire soul master world's landscape."

"How should my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect position itself?"

Just as the three were deep in thought, a sect disciple hurried into the hall and respectfully presented a letter.

"Sect Master, a letter from the Young Miss."

Chen Xin beckoned, and the envelope drifted into his hand before he passed it to Ning Fengzhi.

"Sect Master, it's from Rongrong."

A helpless, wry smile appeared on Ning Fengzhi's face.

"This girl, I'm afraid she's suffered some grievance at Shrek Academy again and has come to complain."

He shook his head, his tone tinged with indulgence. "Always causing trouble. Although Yu Xiaogang's theories are a bit pedantic, he is conscientious in teaching his disciples; she has just been spoiled by us."

As he spoke, he carelessly tore open the envelope.

However, after only a single glance, the smile on his face instantly froze.

His eyes widened further and further, and his breathing grew ragged.

Bam!

Ning Fengzhi slammed his hand onto the table and stood up abruptly!

The letter in his hand crumpled from the force of his grip, and his entire body trembled with extreme shock.

"Fengzhi, what is it?"

"Did something happen to Rongrong?!"

Chen Xin and Gu Rong were startled by his violent reaction; they both stood up in unison, their expressions tense.

Ning Fengzhi did not answer, merely holding up the letter as his lips trembled:

"Rongrong, she..."

"She withdrew from Shrek and joined that Blue Silver Academy! And she even... she even took that Chen Xuan as her master!"
