What Is the Soul Master World? It's Not About Fighting and Killing, but Human Relationships

Flender really wasn't at ease.

But Ning Rongrong had already made her position clear, and he truly couldn't insist any further.

As one of the Upper Three Sects, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect already had a poor relationship with Spirit Hall.

They had always been locked in open and covert struggles.

If Spirit Hall seized on this matter as leverage, it would be disastrous for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

He really had no right to ask Ning Rongrong to do this.

Because Ning Rongrong was the Little Princess of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect!

Everything she did outside represented the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

If Spirit Hall used this as an excuse, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would be in danger.

Judging by their strength on paper, Spirit Hall far surpassed the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Two Titled Douluo?

The other side's Elder Hall was full of Titled Douluo!

And the Worship Hall was even more terrifying.

Wiping out the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect truly wouldn't be difficult.

But without Ning Rongrong's help, getting Dai Mubai out wouldn't be easy.

He might have to stay locked up for a while.

If things escalated, Dai Mubai might even face severe punishment.

"Sorry, Dean, I really can't help with this."

Ning Rongrong said with a regretful expression, though inside she was already over the moon.

What a perfect situation!

She'd go have some fun in Suotuo City in a bit!

Just as she was thinking this, she suddenly spotted Lin Ye, and an idea immediately came to her.

"Dean, I'm going to Suotuo City with Lin Ye."

"Oh, sure, go ahead."

Flender had no mind to keep an eye on her right now. He was wondering who he should turn to in order to get Dai Mubai out.

"Lin Ye, shall we go to Suotuo City?"

Ning Rongrong greeted him. Lin Ye shook his head slightly and said, "Sorry, I can't go to Suotuo City with you. I still have to cultivate. Yes, cultivate."

[Who wants to go with you? When a man goes out with a woman, all he does is carry her bags!]

[I'm not stupid. Going out with you, Little Demoness, might just wear me to death.]

[With this free time, wouldn't it be nicer to find somewhere to space out?]

At first, Ning Rongrong really thought he was diligent and wanted to work hard at cultivating.

But when she heard what he was thinking afterward, her brows twitched.

A beautiful young girl in the prime of her youth had invited him shopping, and he actually turned her down?

He'd even rather find somewhere to space out than go out with her!

That was too much!

"I heard there's an auction in Suotuo City. Want to take a look?"

"If you see anything you like, I'll buy it for you."

"Let's go!"

Lin Ye nodded at once. How could he refuse when someone else was paying?

Ning Rongrong's mouth twitched. Wasn't spacing out more appealing now?

Money really could make the world go round. Gold Soul Coins were wonderful things!

She'd have to save up more pocket money from now on. With Lin Ye in her pocket, she could have the whole academy in her grasp.

Right, the one million Gold Soul Coins she'd given Flender didn't come from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's assets. They were her own pocket money!

Twelve years of pocket money had piled up into an astronomical sum in her account. She could never spend it all.

Watching the two of them leave, Flender rubbed his face.

He was getting old, really old.

Otherwise, he'd have liked to experience what it felt like to be kept by a rich woman, too.

He could only blame himself for not being handsome enough or young enough.

After following Ning Rongrong to Suotuo City, Lin Ye was genuinely curious about the auction.

It seemed like they sold all sorts of things at auctions. They even sold people.

Hadn't Ning Fengzhi bought a female slave at an auction?

And she was a beast-eared girl, too!

Once they entered Suotuo City, Ning Rongrong didn't head for the auction house.

She had a clear destination in mind: the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's dessert shop in Suotuo City.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was involved in practically every kind of business, and all of them were thriving.

"Rongrong, the auction house is over here."

Lin Ye passed the auction house, stopped, and pointed toward it.

To his surprise, Ning Rongrong didn't even look. She headed straight into the dessert shop.

Lin Ye's face stiffened at the sight.

Oh no, the Little Demoness had tricked him!

They hadn't come for the auction at all. They'd come for the food!

This girl had a heart of pure darkness. She could fool someone without even batting an eye.

He could only blame himself for being too naive and innocent, for actually believing her nonsense.

[From now on, I can't trust a single punctuation mark this girl says!]

[She's way too good at fooling people!]

Ning Rongrong paused, but didn't take it to heart.

She was the Little Princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, the sect's future leader, and she had money to burn!

"Let's have something to eat first. We'll go to the auction house after."

"Don't worry, the auction house is right there. It won't grow legs and run away."

Lin Ye nodded, then followed her into the dessert shop.

As long as he got to look around the auction, that was enough.

He didn't necessarily need Ning Rongrong to buy him anything.

He had money of his own, and plenty of it!

He was a transmigrator, after all. He was bound to have ways of making money.

He already had quite a few people working for him.

He'd become a carefree, behind-the-scenes boss. He certainly wasn't short on money.

He was simply curious about auctions.

He'd spent all these years busy with daily sign-ins and making money, yet he'd never been inside a place like an auction house.

It was a real shame.

The two entered the dessert shop, and Ning Rongrong took out a jade-green token.

The moment the server saw it, they went to fetch the shop manager.

"Young Miss."

The manager bowed respectfully.

The Young Miss was the sect's future leader. The entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect belonged to her!

"Is this shop yours, too?"

Lin Ye was a little surprised. This dessert shop was quite large.

It was tastefully decorated and looked upscale.

Most of the customers here were nobles.

Or at the very least, people with some money behind them.

"Mm, it's mine."

"Bring us one of each of the newest desserts and drinks."

"Yes, Young Miss," the manager replied respectfully, then glanced at Lin Ye.

A young fellow had actually been invited out for a treat by the Young Miss?

This boy was no ordinary person.

Or perhaps the Young Miss liked his type?

Neither of them knew what the manager was thinking. Lin Ye was watching the auction house across the street.

Ning Rongrong, meanwhile, was pondering something else.

Deal with Dai Mubai!

If nothing unexpected happened, Dai Mubai wouldn't be locked up for long.

He'd probably be out in a few days. After all, things hadn't gotten too serious.

But she didn't want to see that scumbag again, so she'd have to pull some strings.

Get someone to make trouble for him!

Without a doubt, people from her own sect were the best choice.

What did the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect have the most of?

Money!

And its network of connections was incredibly broad.

As her father always said, what was the Soul Master World?

It was never about fighting and killing, but human relationships.

As long as you knew how to handle those relationships, you could remain invincible.

Before long, the desserts and drinks were brought out.

Ning Rongrong sampled them in small bites, her movements graceful. She truly had the poise of a princess from a great clan.

Lin Ye, meanwhile, was distracted, his eyes constantly wandering toward the auction house entrance.

"I'm going to the restroom."

Ning Rongrong dabbed her mouth gently with a handkerchief, then stood up.

Lin Ye didn't pay it any mind. Girls were just that troublesome.

They could make five or six trips to the restroom in the time it took to finish a meal.

Usually it was just to touch up their makeup.

So there was no need to think much of it.

But after standing up, Ning Rongrong didn't go to the restroom. She turned down a corridor and entered the manager's office.

"Help me take care of something. Make sure it's done discreetly and leaves no loose ends."

"Just say the word, Young Miss!"
