The Little One Got Beaten, So the Old One Came

The minor disturbance passed, and the restaurant resumed normal business.

Neither Ning Rongrong, Shen Yifeng, nor Gu Yuena paid it any attention, but a tall, imposing, muscle-bound brute had bullied the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to tears. That was no small matter.

The news spread from one to ten, then from ten to a hundred. In just the time it took to eat lunch, nearly all of Heaven Dou City knew about it.

Ning Rongrong was a spoiled little princess. Having suffered a setback this time, Chen Xin and Gu Rong would definitely make a move.

What surprised everyone most was when such a Soul Master as Xiong Jun had appeared.

Not fearing the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect meant he had confidence, but most renowned Title Douluo had joined some faction. It was impossible for a wandering Title Douluo to exist on the continent.

They could not make sense of it, but they only needed to wait and enjoy the show.

Meanwhile, at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect,

Ning Rongrong ran back to the sect's main hall in tears. The disciples she passed were startled to see their little princess looking so wronged.

It was a sight they had never seen before in their lives.

"Dad!"

Inside the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's main hall, Ning Fengzhi was drinking tea and discussing matters with Sword and Bone Douluo.

Ning Rongrong's cry of "Dad" completely shattered the previous calm.

That was because her voice was filled with tears and grievance.

It was the first time they had ever seen Ning Rongrong like this.

"My little ancestor, what happened?"

Ning Fengzhi spread his arms and caught Ning Rongrong as she threw herself at him.

"Waaah, Dad, someone bullied me," Ning Rongrong said aggrievedly.

"Who would dare bully you? Do they not know you are Ning Fengzhi's daughter?"

Ning Fengzhi said with a smile.

"Dad, really, I'm not lying. At the restaurant, a brute scared me, and he even casually threw two Soul King guards away."

The three of them watched Ning Rongrong recount the matter so seriously, their brows furrowing slightly. It seemed Rongrong was not joking.

A brute?

That man could not possibly have failed to recognize Ning Rongrong. Who would dare do something so reckless?

"Rongrong, tell us in detail. What exactly happened?"

Chen Xin asked.

They needed to understand the entire sequence of events before making a judgment.

Ning Rongrong told them everything from beginning to end.

"Drawing a blade to help when he saw injustice?"

Ning Fengzhi blurted out.

That was the only reason he could think of, but why had she fought with someone over food?

"Rongrong, you're being foolish. I keep telling you not to cause trouble, but you never listen."

Ning Fengzhi rubbed his forehead and shook his head, truly wanting to lock her up.

"Dad, I just wanted to eat it, and I didn't cause trouble."

Ning Rongrong poked her fingers together.

"And you call that not causing trouble?"

"I think it would be good for you to learn a lesson, so you remember it in the future."

"You must be confined for three days."

Ning Fengzhi looked stern.

"No, Dad!"

Ning Rongrong immediately threw herself into Chen Xin's arms and said pitifully, "Grandpa Sword, hurry and talk Dad out of it. Rongrong doesn't want to be confined."

She absolutely did not want confinement. Last time, she had been confined for an entire week.

It had truly been a case of calling to heaven with no answer and calling to earth with no response.

"Fengzhi, I think Rongrong was indeed at fault, but it does not warrant confinement. We should focus on educating her. Let's find that person first."

Once Chen Xin spoke, Ning Fengzhi could only let it go.

"Since Uncle Sword has spoken, I'll let you off this time."

Ning Fengzhi looked toward Chen Xin.

"Then I'll trouble Uncle Sword to take Rongrong there and speak to that burly man. Just make him apologize. Rongrong being humiliated is also the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect being humiliated."

When Ning Rongrong acted outside, she represented the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Being intimidated like this did indeed damage the sect's reputation.

Such a brute could not possibly be unaware that two Title Douluo guarded the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Unless he belonged to some major power, or perhaps he had only recently broken through to become a Title Douluo and they simply did not know about it.

Could he be someone from the Heaven Dou Royal Family?

He had shown absolutely no reservations.

"No problem."

Chen Xin nodded.

Gu Rong paused at the side, then hurriedly spoke.

"I should go instead. What if his old bones give out and he throws out his back if a fight starts?"

Chen Xin glanced at him and smiled.

"Your loose pile of old bones is the one that can't handle it. Stay in the sect and guard the place. Don't make trouble."

Gu Rong snorted and turned his head away.

Seeing that she would not be confined, Ning Rongrong immediately stopped crying and smiled.

"Thank you, Grandpa Sword!"

She grabbed Chen Xin's sleeve and eagerly pulled him outside.

"Grandpa Sword, hurry up. I'll take you to find him. He's near that restaurant in the eastern part of the city."

Chen Xin shook his head helplessly and followed Ning Rongrong out of the main hall.

Ning Fengzhi watched their retreating figures and sighed softly.

"When will this child ever grow up?"

Meanwhile, the two of them left the restaurant after eating their fill.

"I'm so full, so satisfied."

Gu Yuena held her round little belly, utterly content.

Delicious, far too delicious.

"Aren't you afraid of overeating like that?"

Shen Yifeng spread his hands.

"Yifeng, what are you worried about? I have a great appetite. No, we should get close for a while. It can help me digest."

Gu Yuena smiled happily and immediately hugged Shen Yifeng's arm, acting coquettishly.

"Don't be so mushy."

"No, I want to be mushy for a bit. Besides, I'm your childhood betrothal partner."

"That's only what you think."

Shen Yifeng could not be bothered to argue with Gu Yuena anymore. If she wanted to hold him, then she could hold him.

My wife is still my wife. A little coquettishness, and I've got her wrapped around my finger.

At her core, my wife is a man, while I am a woman. For a woman to handle a man, the most important process is satisfying the desires in his heart.

I wonder what my wife's desires are.

In any case, they had eaten very well today.

The process had been somewhat unexpected, but leaving it to Xiong Jun and the others was more than enough.

The two returned to the courtyard side by side. Just after they left, Chen Xin arrived at the restaurant with Ning Rongrong.

"Grandpa, this is the place!"

Ning Rongrong pointed at the restaurant.

"Let's go in and take a look."

Chen Xin led Ning Rongrong into the restaurant.

The moment Chen Xin entered, his imposing aura spread out at once.

The restaurant's previously noisy chatter instantly vanished.

Everyone put down their chopsticks and turned toward the entrance in unison, waiting to watch the show.

Ning Rongrong held her head high and quickly swept her gaze across the room.

Shen Yifeng and Gu Yuena were nowhere to be seen. Only that brute sat alone in a corner, clutching a huge braised pork knuckle and gnawing on it, his mouth glistening with grease.

He was actually eating so happily?

Was he truly not afraid?

"It's him!" Ning Rongrong pointed at Xiong Jun and hid behind Chen Xin. "Grandpa Sword, he's the one who threw my guards out!"

Chen Xin slowly walked to Xiong Jun's table and looked at him calmly.

"Your name is Xiong Jun, correct?"

Xiong Jun raised his eyes. Upon seeing Ning Rongrong, he grinned, exposing a mouthful of white teeth.

"What? You beat the little one, and now the old one has come? You think you can challenge your Grandpa Xiong?"

Xiong Jun did not regard Chen Xin as a threat at all. He sneered, his tone full of provocation.

Chen Xin's brows furrowed slightly.

Had this man been frightened stupid, or was he pretending to be foolish? There was not the slightest hint of fear.

What exactly was going on?

He was completely baffled. None of this made any sense.

"You had better take back what you said, or bear the consequences yourself."
