Ning Rongrong: My Boyfriend Won't Let Me Tell You

A crisp voice echoed through the great hall, and the same look of curiosity appeared on the faces of the three men.

Chen Xin chuckled lightly.

"Hahaha! You've really made quite a show of it."

"What new trick has our little Princess Ning Rongrong learned? Let Sword Grandpa have a look."

Watching that familiar smiling face across from her, Ning Rongrong curled her lips into a mischievous grin.

In the next second, a massive fireball erupted from her right palm. Its speed, intense heat, and sudden appearance were completely beyond anyone's expectations.

In a mere instant, the fireball appeared before Chen Xin as if it had teleported.

In the blink of an eye, Gu Rong let out a roar.

"Watch out!"

"Old Sword, get out of the way!"

But it was clearly too late for Chen Xin to react; the man was still standing there with his hands behind his back, eyes squinted, acting cool.

Gu Rong activated his Martial Soul Possession, and after a distortion of space, he stood before Chen Xin.

BOOM!

The fireball slammed into the defensive barrier Gu Rong had erected, erupting with a thunderous roar that shook the great hall and even dislodged tiles from the ceiling.

It wasn't difficult to block the fireball, but the sheer suddenness and absurdity of it were what mattered.

Who would ever expect a Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda soul master to suddenly launch a fireball attack?

Chen Xin and Ning Fengzhi stared at the scene before them, their eyes wide as saucers.

"What... what is going on?"

"Is it an enemy attack?"

At this moment, Ning Rongrong's voice rang out, sounding slightly indignant yet playful.

"Bone Grandpa, you're cheating! We agreed that I would spar with Sword Grandpa, so why are you interfering?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the three old men collectively gasped.

"Hiss~"

"Rongrong, was that attack launched by you?"

Ning Rongrong lifted her chin and gave a dainty huff.

This was clearly her way of confirming it.

Ning Fengzhi walked over to the young girl in a few strides, crouched down, and began to examine her Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda closely.

"Is it an ability of your Martial Soul? No! The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda has not changed in the slightest!"

"How did you do it? Is it a spirit bone skill?"

"That's not right either. All spirit bones for Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda soul masters only provide amplification effects; they possess no offensive power."

"Rongrong, what exactly is going on?"

Ning Fengzhi muttered to himself for a long time, and unable to figure out the reason, he finally turned his gaze toward Ning Rongrong.

To this, Ning Rongrong merely smiled sweetly.

"Hehe~ It's a secret!"

"This is an ability my boyfriend gave me."

"Boyfriend?"

The three men let out a collective cry of shock, and Chen Xin and Gu Rong instantly flashed to Ning Rongrong's side.

Compared to that fireball attack, this news shocked them even more. For a fleeting moment, both men felt as if a piece of their hearts had been carved out.

That was their little princess, whom they had pampered since she was a child! Why would she have a boyfriend? What kind of person could possibly be worthy of Ning Rongrong? Could their little princess have been deceived?

One at level 96 and the other at level 95, the two guardian Douluos of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect felt a hollow ache in their chests, simultaneously worried that Ning Rongrong had been tricked.

As for Ning Fengzhi...

He had already suspected this, and now that he had the answer from Ning Rongrong's own lips, his immediate reaction was fury.

As his daughter and the next Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, how could she be allowed to have a boyfriend at this age?

One must know that as the only support-type sect among the Upper Three Sects, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would require the protection of the strong to flourish in the future. As his successor, every decision Ning Rongrong made should demonstrate maximum value.

How could this little girl be allowed to make such a critical life decision on her own!

Moreover, seeing the mature charm in his daughter's every gesture, it was clear that someone had already succeeded in winning her over...

In an instant, a wave of fury flooded Ning Fengzhi's mind.

Fortunately, just a second before he could lash out, Sword Douluo's telepathic message calmed him down.

"Fengzhi, stay calm!"

"Gu Rong and I are even more heartbroken than you, but we don't understand the situation yet. Don't hurt Rongrong's feelings out of anger."

As a Title Douluo, not a single detail in the room could escape the gaze of Chen Xin.

After comforting Ning Fengzhi, he turned his attention to Ning Rongrong.

"My little Princess Rongrong, you've only been out for three months, so how did you suddenly end up with a boyfriend?"

Gu Rong also seized the opportunity, unable to maintain his composure any longer, and hurriedly asked.

"Which faction is he from? How old is he this year? What is his strength? What is his Martial Soul? Where is he now?"

Of everyone present, only Ning Fengzhi remained silent.

At this moment, Ning Rongrong waved her hand dismissively and said with a smile.

"Oh, why are you all so worked up!"

"I'm not a child anymore; what's so strange about having a boyfriend?"

Chen Xin refused to give up and continued to press, "Where is he? Where is he now?"

"He's at the academy. I wanted to bring him back with me, but Flender only gave me time off because I needed to hunt for a Soul Ring. He didn't need one, so Flender didn't grant him leave."

"Hunting for a Soul Ring? You're at level 30?" Chen Xin frowned. "How is that possible? You were only level 26 when you left the sect, and it's only been three months..."

Suddenly, as if he had thought of something extremely serious, he ignored whether Ning Rongrong might get angry and pressed his hand onto the young girl's shoulder.

"Don't resist; I'm going to check your meridians."

One must know that there are some evil secret arts circulating on the continent.

These secret arts, when practiced by those with ill intent, can rapidly increase one's strength. Since Ning Rongrong had just displayed an unusual attack method, Chen Xin subconsciously associated the two.

He probed his soul power into Ning Rongrong's meridians specifically to check if she had gone astray.

The air fell into silence. Gu Rong and Ning Fengzhi stared fixedly at Chen Xin's expression, terrified of missing a single detail.

Before long, Chen Xin raised his eyes and shook his head slightly.

"There are no issues."

"Not only that, but Rongrong's soul power is far more solid than before."

As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of the other two were filled with utter shock.

In three months—merely three months—Ning Rongrong had advanced from level 26 to level 30 without any side effects.

During that time, she had even acquired a boyfriend! And mastered a fireball attack comparable to the full-force strike of a Soul Ancestor.

What has happened to this world? Is this still the same Ning Rongrong as before?

Ning Fengzhi had by now more or less suppressed his emotions, and he said to Ning Rongrong.

"What happened during these three months? Tell us everything in detail."

"No, I promised my boyfriend I'd keep it a secret. I'm not telling you."

Ning Rongrong lifted her chin and turned her head away. The constant mention of "my boyfriend! My boyfriend!" made the hearts of the Sword and Bone Douluo bleed.

Their eyes turned red; they never expected that the little princess they had raised for twelve years would be snatched away in just three months!

And now, she was even taking a united stand with her "boyfriend"!

"Rongrong..."
