"Tear down the bed? Such a bold young lady."
At the entrance of Notting Academy, the teacher on duty watched the stopped carriage, nearly dropping his registration book.
The carriage curtain was lifted, and Ning Rongrong stepped down, using a small wooden stool.
She wore an exquisite short skirt, a small sachet at her waist, and her shoes were spotlessly clean, a stark contrast to the dusty new students at the academy entrance.
On the carriage door, the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect's mark was striking in the morning light.
Several students at the entrance immediately gathered around.
"Who is this?"
"That mark on the carriage, it looks like it's from a major sect."
"She looks so rich."
Ning Rongrong slung her small bundle over her shoulder and walked into the academy with her chin held high.
"I'm looking for Su Hang."
The students fell silent for a moment, then quickly became lively again.
"Looking for Boss Su?"
"Another one coming for Boss Su?"
"Boss Su's popularity is insane."
Xiao Chenyu was coming from the direction of the cafeteria, still carrying breakfast.
Upon seeing the mark on the carriage, his steps halted abruptly.
"Seven Treasures Glazed Sect?"
He shoved the breakfast into Wang Sheng's arms and turned to run.
Wang Sheng, holding a bag of steamed buns, was completely bewildered.
"What are you running for?"
Xiao Chenyu didn't look back.
"Notify Boss Su!"
Ning Rongrong, hearing this, became interested.
She stopped a junior student nearby.
"Is Su Hang very famous in your academy?"
The student nodded immediately.
"Of course, Boss Su's first spirit ring is purple, he's the nemesis of Xiao Chenyu, and he even made Tang San's first spirit skill leak."
Ning Rongrong blinked.
"Leak?"
Another student eagerly chimed in.
"Yeah, Tang San's Blue Silver Grass is so clingy, but as soon as Boss Su's feet lit up with lightning, the grass just burned."
"Everyone calls him the Purple Ring Monster."
"Some people even call him Tang San's Nemesis."
Ning Rongrong, holding her bundle, walked with a much lighter step.
"Quite interesting."
She had rushed all the way from the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect to Notting City last night, and had planned to have her guards bring this Su Hang back for questioning if he was just writing nonsense.
Now, hearing these students, the contents of the diary seemed to align somewhat.
On the training ground, Su Hang was sitting on the stone steps, drinking tea.
Xiao Wu sat beside him, holding a fruit, her toes tapping the ground rhythmically.
Xiao Chenyu rushed in, stopping by gripping the wooden railing of the training ground.
"Boss Su, something big has happened!"
Xiao Wu immediately looked up.
"Is someone coming to cause trouble again?"
Xiao Chenyu waved his hand.
"Someone from the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect is here."
"It's a young girl, dressed expensively, and she asked for you right away."
Xiao Wu's fruit paused mid-air.
"Looking for Brother Su Hang?"
Wang Sheng also ran in, holding the bag of steamed buns, panting heavily.
"The entrance is completely surrounded."
"That girl has been asking about Boss Su the whole way here; she was laughing so happily when she heard about the Purple Ring Monster and the Tang San specialist."
Xiao Wu set the fruit down on the table and stood up, walking in front of Su Hang.
"What does she want with you?"
Su Hang set down his teacup.
"How would I know?"
Xiao Wu didn't quite believe him.
"You really don't know?"
Watching her stance as she blocked his path, Su Hang couldn't help but reach out and tap her on the head.
"Are you planning on charging admission?"
Xiao Wu shielded her head.
"I'm keeping people away."
No sooner had she spoken than Ning Rongrong arrived at the entrance of the training grounds.
She hadn't brought many people with her, only a carriage driver waiting in the distance.
A group of students followed along to watch the commotion, though none dared to get too close.
Ning Rongrong spotted Su Hang on the stone steps at a single glance.
It couldn't be helped; he was the most relaxed person in the entire training ground.
Beside him, Xiao Wu was blocking the way, looking as if she would beat up anyone who dared to approach.
Ning Rongrong walked a few steps closer, first looking Xiao Wu up and down, then turning her gaze to Su Hang.
"You're Su Hang?"
Xiao Wu immediately stepped forward half a pace.
"What do you want with him?"
Ning Rongrong smiled and spread her hands.
"Just to chat."
Xiao Wu reached out and grabbed Su Hang's sleeve, doing so quite naturally.
"He's busy."
Ning Rongrong looked at that hand and tilted her chin up.
"Can you make decisions for him?"
Xiao Wu answered quickly.
"I can."
Su Hang added lazily from behind.
"She has indeed been quite good at making arrangements for me lately."
Xiao Wu turned her head and glared at him.
"Don't undermine me."
Ning Rongrong was amused.
"This is quite interesting."
She took another step forward.
"I came all the way from the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect; I didn't travel this far just to watch the two of you bicker."
Upon hearing "Seven Treasures Glazed Sect," Su Hang already had an idea of what was going on.
Ning Rongrong had arrived.
And she had arrived so quickly.
In all likelihood, the diary copy had already fallen into her hands.
"The little princess of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect, coming all the way to Notting Academy to chat with a work-study student."
"If Sect Master Ning heard that excuse for leaving home, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to sleep well."
Ning Rongrong paused in her tracks.
She hadn't mentioned her identity.
Yet Su Hang had pointed it out directly.
This concerned her even more than the "Purple Ring" the students were talking about.
"You know who I am?"
Su Hang picked up his teacup.
"The Seven Treasures Glazed Sect has only one little princess who is spoiled to the heavens."
"That's not hard to guess."
Xiao Wu gripped him even tighter.
"And this little princess spoiled to the heavens came to chat with you?"
Ning Rongrong tilted her head.
"What are you so anxious about?"
Xiao Wu straightened her back.
"I'm not anxious."
Xiao Chenyu lowered his voice from the side.
"Wang Sheng, look at Sister Xiao Wu's state. It's like she's guarding her food."
Wang Sheng hurriedly shoved a steamed bun into his mouth.
"Stop courting death."
On the other side, Tang San and Yu Xiaogang had just arrived from the direction of the teaching building.
Tang San's right sleeve was pulled tight; the numbness from the Blue Silver Grass's backlash had not yet completely faded.
Hearing the words "little princess of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect," his footsteps faltered for a beat.
Yu Xiaogang also looked toward the training grounds.
"The Seven Treasures Glazed Sect?"
Tang San turned his head.
"Teacher, is this sect very strong?"
Yu Xiaogang lowered his voice.
"The number one support sect in the world."
"The Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda can provide spirit masters with extremely powerful buffs."
"Ning Fengzhi has vast resources at his disposal, and both Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo guard them."
"If you can befriend them, it will be of great benefit to your future cultivation."
Tang San looked toward Su Hang's side.
Ning Rongrong was actually taking the initiative to seek out Su Hang.
First Xiao Wu.
Now the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect.
The things gathering around Su Hang were becoming more and more numerous.
Tang San stepped forward.
"Miss Ning."
Ning Rongrong turned to look at him.
Tang San adjusted his sleeves.
"My name is Tang San, also a new student at Notting Academy."
"The Seven Treasures Glazed Sect has a great reputation. It is a pleasure to meet you today, Miss Ning."
Upon hearing the name Tang San, Ning Rongrong's originally lighthearted movements ceased.
The diary had written about him.
This person would take away too much.
Xiao Wu, Daming, Erming, the resources of those around him, and the opportunities pushed into his hands along the way.
As Ning Rongrong looked at Tang San again, her interest faded significantly.
"Oh."
Tang San waited for a moment, but only received that single word.
Yu Xiaogang stepped forward half a pace.
"Miss Ning, Tang San possesses innate full spirit power and has already obtained his First Spirit Ring. His future achievements will not be low."
Ning Rongrong looked at Yu Xiaogang.
"The Grandmaster?"
Yu Xiaogang clasped his hands behind his back, just as he had struck his pose.
Ning Rongrong had already continued.
"I heard your disciple's skills are full of holes."
The students on the sidelines couldn't help it and broke into low laughter.
Yu Xiaogang's posture froze halfway, his expression turning ugly on the spot.
Tang San did not argue, merely pulling his sleeves down a little further.
Ning Rongrong ignored him, turning to walk in front of Su Hang.
Xiao Wu immediately blocked half of her path.
"State your business."
Ning Rongrong took a small token from her waist.
The token was not large, with the pattern of the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda carved on the front and the character 'Ning' on the back.
She held the token out toward Su Hang.
"I'm not asking for your help for free."
"If you accompany me to verify something, I will give you a reward."
