Encountering Danger, Ning Rongrong Directly Calls for Backup

How could Xiao Yexuan not guess the little schemes Ning Rongrong was hatching in her heart?

However, Xiao Yexuan did not point them out. He simply smiled and nodded at her, thanking her for being willing to pass on the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's insights into medicinal pill research to him.

As for his next plans, Xiao Yexuan rubbed his chin, his gaze flickering slightly; in truth, he had already made other arrangements in his mind.

He raised his eyes to look at the group and spoke directly:

"I've heard that the family with the deepest research into medicinal herbs is the Nine Hearts Begonia family. I intend to pay a visit to the Nine Hearts Begonia family this afternoon to exchange ideas with them."

"The Nine Hearts Begonia family, huh."

Ning Rongrong seemed quite knowledgeable about this family. She quickly took over the conversation, her eyes brightening as she said, "Their family does indeed produce quite a few medicinal pills."

"But those pills are only a tiny bit more effective than ordinary medicinal baths."

"The good thing is that they don't require soaking for a long time like medicinal baths; you can go straight to cultivation after taking one, which greatly saves on cultivation time."

"It is precisely because of this that many soul masters go crazy for them, breaking their heads just to get their hands on a single pill."

After hearing Ning Rongrong's words, Xiao Yexuan nodded gently, a flash of realization crossing his eyes, and his resolve to visit the Nine Hearts Begonia family became even firmer.

Things that Xiao Yexuan decided were never easily changed.

The three women did not try to stop him either; instead, they happily accompanied Xiao Yexuan as he left the Blue Tyrant Academy.

Sunlight spilled over them, outlining a relaxed and comfortable silhouette.

Yet, the moment Xiao Yexuan and his group stepped out of the Blue Tyrant Academy gates, two sneaky figures in the shadows of the street corner quietly followed them.

It was none other than Tang San and Dai Mubai.

Both men wore vicious smiles, their eyes filled with calculation, like hungry wolves staring at their prey.

This Xiao Yexuan had finally left the Blue Tyrant Academy!

Without the protection of that Soul Saint powerhouse Liu Erlong, let's see how they deal with this guy this time!

Both men were harboring a foul rage; not only did they want to give Xiao Yexuan a brutal beating, but they also wanted to snatch away that power Xiao Yexuan possessed which made the opposite sex so infatuated with him.

When that time came, they could replace Xiao Yexuan and become the most popular men with women in this world!

Time passed quickly.

As Xiao Yexuan and the others chatted and laughed, they passed by a secluded alley, finally giving Tang San and Dai Mubai the chance to strike.

The two men lunged out from the corner of the alley, their feet stomping heavily on the ground and kicking up a cloud of dust as they blocked the path of Xiao Yexuan, Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing.

They wore unkind smiles, their eyes staring fiercely at Xiao Yexuan.

"Tang San, Dai Mubai, what are you two doing here?"

As soon as Xiao Wu saw them, her brows furrowed, her pretty face darkened, and she wore an undisguised expression of disgust, her voice laced with wariness.

Zhu Zhuqing didn't even say a word; she walked quickly to stand in front of Xiao Yexuan, shielding him firmly behind her.

In her view, Xiao Yexuan's strength was the weakest among them, and she had to protect him, fearing that Dai Mubai and Tang San would strike at him from the shadows.

Her gaze, in particular, was locked onto Tang San, her eyes filled with vigilance, refusing to let even a sliver of an opening show.

Tang San possessed many hidden weapons that were impossible to guard against, and she could not let him take advantage of the situation to ambush Xiao Yexuan.

If Xiao Yexuan were to be injured because of this, she would never forgive herself for the rest of her life.

When Ning Rongrong saw the two men blocking their way with ill intent, she felt no panic at all; instead, she curled her lips into a mocking smile.

Without hesitation, she pulled a special thumb-sized firework from the storage Soul Tool at her waist.

With a gentle pull of the fuse, a crisp "bang" rang out, and a cluster of brilliant, eye-catching golden fireworks shot into the sky, exploding mid-air to form a giant Glazed Lotus.

Even in broad daylight, the light of the fireworks was dazzling, standing out prominently against the clear sky.

For the people of the Douluo Continent, this was the first time most had seen such beautiful fireworks.

The fireworks bloomed magnificently in the sky; this was the highest-level distress signal exclusive to Ning Rongrong's Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Especially since they were in Heaven Dou City, where the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had countless personnel stationed, covering every street and alley.

She believed that before long, countless soul masters would rush over upon hearing the news to protect them.

Moreover, many powerful soul masters knew the distress signal of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Even if they only came to show support and help the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect out of a bind, they would still receive a generous reward of gratitude from the sect.

"Ning Rongrong, you bitch! You're actually willing to use this kind of distress signal!"

Dai Mubai recognized the signal Ning Rongrong had launched at a glance. He was instantly terrified, trembling all over, his face as pale as paper, his tone filled with immense resentment.

He never imagined that Ning Rongrong would go to such great lengths just to protect a piece of trash like Xiao Yexuan!

Tang San's face also turned deathly pale in an instant, his hand clutching his hidden weapons trembling slightly; he dared not linger a moment longer.

Following that, Tang San and Dai Mubai dared not stay for even half a second more. Scared out of their wits, they turned tail and fled into the distance, disappearing at the end of the alley in the blink of an eye.

Watching their pathetic, fleeing backs, Ning Rongrong stood with her hands on her hips, her chest rising and falling slightly. She curled her lip and said, "They ran away just like that? How boring!"

Xiao Yexuan, held within the protective circle of the women, watched Tang San and Dai Mubai flee in a panic, feeling a secret sense of delight in his heart.

His face immediately shifted into an expression of profound sorrow and desolation. He let out a soft sigh and spoke in a low, heavy tone:

"It seems my strength... my strength is still too weak... Thank you all for protecting me today. Thank you..."

"Young Master, you don't need to thank us!"

Zhu Zhuqing hurriedly spoke to comfort him, her tone sincere as she reached out to gently pat Xiao Yexuan on the shoulder.

"The reason you encountered such a situation is mostly because of us."

"Besides, Young Master, your potential is so formidable; there is no need to belittle yourself like this."

"I believe that before long, you will surely be able to surpass them rapidly!"

"Yeah, that's right!"

Xiao Wu also nodded in quick agreement, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Xiao Yexuan, her tone filled with admiration.

"Young Master, not only is your potential amazing, but you also possess such a kind heart!"

"Young Master, you went out today specifically to research medicinal pills, all to bring happiness to the people of the Douluo Continent."

Ning Rongrong stood with her hands on her hips once more, adding indignantly with her willow-leaf eyebrows arched in anger.

"For someone as righteous as you to be envied by villains like Tang San and Dai Mubai, to the point of being ambushed and harassed by them—they are truly lower than beasts!"

"I will make sure to expose all of their crimes to the world!"
