Ning Rongrong's Confession! Hangover!

Tang Yin and Xiao Wu exchanged an instinctive glance.

Xiao Wu looked bewildered and confused, but Tang Yin felt the exact opposite.

At this moment.

Ning Rongrong had already trotted up to the two of them, panting lightly while wiping away her tears.

"Ning Rongrong, what happened to you? Were you bullied inside Shrek Academy?"

Xiao Wu approached Ning Rongrong and asked.

"I... I..."

Ning Rongrong sobbed in a low voice, stopping mid-sentence. She stole a quiet glance at Tang Yin before lowering her head.

Just a moment ago, she had erupted in front of so many people, and now that she was standing before Tang Yin, she suddenly felt a sense of guilt.

"Let's go back first and talk about it." Tang Yin mused.

"Right, you should come back with us first." Xiao Wu echoed.

Ning Rongrong replied softly, "Okay~"

Tang Yin looked toward the direction Ning Rongrong had come from, sensing something.

The Blue Silver Domain was quietly released.

The Blue Silver Grass within a five-hundred-meter radius instantly became his eyes.

He saw three men and one woman heading in his direction.

Two of them were the familiar faces of Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun, while the remaining one was Oscar, whom he had met but never spoken much to.

As for the only woman, he was very clear about her identity. Since both Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong were with him now, the only other female student Shrek Academy could have was Zhu Zhuqing.

"Hmm?"

Tang Yin raised his eyes to the sky, and a middle-aged man wearing glasses came into view.

Flender froze in mid-air, locking eyes with Tang Yin under the setting sun.

Flender frowned, then glanced at Ning Rongrong, a sense of unease welling up in his heart.

"Tang Yin, what are you looking at?" Xiao Wu blinked, looking up to follow Tang Yin's gaze, but Flender had already left.

Tang Yin explained, "A man wearing glasses was flying in the sky just now."

Ning Rongrong frowned and said, "That's Flender, he is the Dean of Shrek Academy."

Xiao Wu suddenly realized, then asked, "Ning Rongrong, was it him who bullied you?"

Ning Rongrong pursed her lips and said softly, "Tang Yin, Xiao Wu, I lied to you earlier today. Actually, I didn't finish my lessons; I snuck out to play in the city."

Xiao Wu was filled with surprise upon hearing this.

Tang Yin, however, was not surprised at all.

Ning Rongrong continued, "I played outside all day, and as soon as I returned to the academy, I was scolded by Flender. That wouldn't have been a big deal, and while I was very angry just now, thinking about it now, I really was in the wrong."

"But... he kept belittling me and humiliating me. It's really infuriating!"

At this point, Ning Rongrong couldn't help but frown, her eyes filled with resentment.

"Oh? What did he say about you?" Xiao Wu narrowed her eyes, looking full of gossip.

Tang Yin rubbed his temples, speechless.

"He actually said I was the worst of the five students at Shrek Academy! He even called me cannon fodder! And he belittled my father's reputation! It makes me so mad!" Ning Rongrong stomped her feet, filled with indignation.

"Believe in yourself and don't be misled. Reaching Soul Power Level twenty-six at your age is already quite good. Of course, if you could work harder, I estimate you could reach twenty-nine or even break through to Soul Elder. I imagine your Innate Soul Power shouldn't be low."

Tang Yin knew exactly how to comfort Ning Rongrong, and everything he said was based on her actual situation.

Ning Rongrong was stunned by Tang Yin's words; she hadn't expected him to think so highly of her.

In her mind, she couldn't help but recall the earnest teachings of Ning Fengzhi.

With her Innate Soul Power of nine and a half levels and the backing of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, she never had to worry about resources.

Thinking about it now, having only twenty-six levels of Soul Power Level seemed a bit low.

Ning Rongrong suddenly felt a jolt in her heart.

She, who was known as the Little Witch in her sect, was actually listening to Tang Yin's words and reflecting on herself...

"Ning Rongrong, what are you going to do next? Leave this place or stay?" Xiao Wu asked.

"I... I don't know..." Ning Rongrong frowned. "I don't want to see Flender, but I don't want to stay here either, yet I don't want to be looked down upon. I'm a bit conflicted."

Tang Yin smiled. "You're just struggling with yourself, and at the same time, struggling with them."

"Eh? Someone else is coming!" Xiao Wu looked at the group walking down the road and narrowed her eyes slightly. "Tang Yin, it looks like Dai Mubai and the others are here, and there's a girl with them, though she doesn't seem to be their girlfriend."

Ning Rongrong turned to look, noticed the four of them, and explained, "That girl is named Zhu Zhuqing. She is a new student who enrolled with me. She's about half a year younger than me, but she's already at level twenty-seven."

At this point, Ning Rongrong felt that Tang Yin's words from earlier were even more reasonable.

Although the cultivation speed of a Battle Soul Master is generally faster than that of a Support Soul Master, if she hadn't been slacking off, her Soul Power Level wouldn't be lower than Zhu Zhuqing's.

Tang Yin said, "Let's go."

He had no desire to interact with Dai Mubai and his two companions; he would rather spend that idle time strolling through the streets with Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu hooked her arm through Tang Yin's left arm and patted the dazed Ning Rongrong, "Ning Rongrong, let's go."

"Oh, right~" Ning Rongrong snapped back to reality, no longer paying attention to the four people approaching them.

At this moment.

Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and Oscar, having already noticed Tang Yin and Xiao Wu, couldn't help but stop in their tracks, which left Zhu Zhuqing, who was trailing behind, feeling quite surprised.

"Boss, what do we do? It's Tang Yin and Xiao Wu!" Ma Hongjun swallowed hard, his face full of nervousness and fear.

Dai Mubai's expression turned solemn as he said in a low voice, "What are you afraid of? We haven't provoked them!"

Although he said that, his body was honest enough to betray his nerves.

"They're leaving... strange, why is Ning Rongrong following them too?" Oscar watched Ning Rongrong's departing back, his face full of bewilderment.

Zhu Zhuqing listened to the conversation between the three, her willow-leaf brows slightly furrowed as she stared at the backs of the three people ahead, lost in deep thought.

Suotuo City.

Tang Yin and Xiao Wu had originally intended to stay at the Rose Hotel again, but with Ning Rongrong present, that idea was quickly dismissed.

What Tang Yin cared about was that if he brought Ning Rongrong into the Rose Hotel, and the people secretly protecting her found out and reported it back to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, it would surely lead to endless trouble.

The only solution was to find a more respectable hotel to stay in.

Tang Yin did not want to provoke the experts of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and Ning Fengzhi just yet.

Xiao Wu's identity was a delicate matter.

The Suotuo Grand Hotel had five floors, occupied a vast area, and was luxuriously decorated.

"Three of your best rooms! And bring us a table of your finest banquet dishes!" Ning Rongrong acted with great extravagance.

Whether it was to show off, intentional, or simply her natural disposition, at this moment, Ning Rongrong looked very much like a nouveau riche.

"Rongrong, two rooms are enough," Xiao Wu said with a smile, hugging Tang Yin's arm.

Ning Rongrong blinked, her cherry lips slightly parted as she stood frozen in place, "You two are staying in one room?"

Xiao Wu laughed, "Tang Yin and I are a couple; isn't it normal for us to share a room?"

Tang Yin also smiled.

"Oh—" Ning Rongrong instantly looked as if she had been possessed by a vengeful spirit, all color draining from her face.

Not long after.

At the dining table.

Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu seemed to hit it off immediately, their tolerance for alcohol even better than Tang Yin's.

"Cheers!!!"

Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu raised their glasses simultaneously, their small faces slightly flushed, looking adorable in their tipsy state.

"Cheers~"

Tang Yin lightly covered his forehead and slowly raised his glass.

He was not a heavy drinker.

A short while later.

Tang Yin was helped upstairs by Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong. After returning to the room, the three of them lay down one after another.

Before long, three different but very steady breathing sounds filled the quiet room.
