At the time, Flender had guessed that Ning Rongrong and Tang Hao had engaged in an incredibly fierce battle.

However, Flender had favored Tang Hao more, believing that Tang Hao would certainly be able to defeat Ning Rongrong and teach her a lesson, showing her that the older ginger is always spicier.

As it turned out, Ning Rongrong had given him another surprise—no, to be precise, a shock!

Ning Rongrong had returned, which meant the defeat of Clear Sky Douluo Tang Hao!

If Tang Hao had won the soul battle, then it would be Tang Hao returning, not Ning Rongrong!

Standing to the side, Zhao Wuji was also incomparably shocked; his bear-like eyes were wide and round, simply unable to believe it.

"That terrifying existence, Tang Hao, he was actually beaten away!"

"Heavens, this is too insane. This Ning Rongrong actually possesses the strength to defeat Tang Hao. Is this really the kind of strength a twelve-year-old child should have?!"

A monstrous storm raged in Zhao Wuji's heart, and he found himself somewhat afraid to look Ning Rongrong in the eye.

At the same time, Zhao Wuji felt a lingering fear in his heart, mixed with a sense of relief.

He thought back to when Ning Rongrong first entered Shrek Academy to participate in the final assessment; she hadn't unleashed this terrifying ability back then.

Otherwise, even if he hadn't suppressed his cultivation and had used all his soul skills, he would still not have been a match for Ning Rongrong and would have only been brutally beaten!

Lingering fear, relief, and awe—these three emotions permeated Zhao Wuji's heart.

Nearby.

Seeing that Ning Rongrong's face was somewhat pale and her vitality seemed poor, Zhu Zhuqing hurriedly stepped forward to support her and asked with concern, "Rongrong, how are you? Are you alright?"

"Zhuqing, I'm fine!" Ning Rongrong smiled, even brushing a strand of hair from Zhu Zhuqing's beautiful profile as she said, "I'll be fine after a good day's rest!"

"That's good, that's good!" Zhu Zhuqing felt relieved, but she continued to support Ning Rongrong, even though she seemed truly fine.

"Rongrong, thank you. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would have been taken away by that masked man!" Xiao Wu stepped forward to express her gratitude.

Then, she asked with concern, "Rongrong, is your body alright?"

As she spoke, Xiao Wu also stepped forward, her small hands gently clutching Ning Rongrong's right arm to support her.

In Xiao Wu's eyes, if Ning Rongrong hadn't intervened, she would definitely have been taken away by that Title Douluo, then cruelly killed to have her spirit ring and bone extracted!

Just thinking about it made Xiao Wu's delicate body tremble, a wave of lingering fear washing over her.

On the side, Flender listened to Xiao Wu's words, his long, thin face darkening as he thought, You silly girl! That is Tang San's father, Tang Hao; how could he possibly hurt you, Xiao Wu!

Ning Rongrong smiled gently and said, "I'm fine, don't worry about me!"

"Helping you is something I ought to do!"

"After all, Xiao Wu, you have spoken up for Zhuqing and me before, worried about us, and cheered for us!"

"Besides, I can tell that your nature isn't bad; you are very kind and simple, which is why I wanted to help you!"

What Ning Rongrong said was a true expression of her feelings, her honest thoughts.

After all, she was still just a twelve-year-old girl, and in her heart, she still believed in the beautiful side of the world and the existence of sincere friendship.

"Mm-hmm!" Xiao Wu nodded her head lightly and said, "Thank you!"

A sense of closeness toward Ning Rongrong had already sprouted in Xiao Wu's heart, and she was no longer so resistant or guarded about the fact that Ning Rongrong had wanted to take her away.

Tang San also walked over at the perfect moment, asking with concern, "Rongrong, is your body alright?"

"Thank you for stepping in to help. If it weren't for you, Xiao Wu would have been taken away by that bad person. The consequences would have been unthinkable!!"

Ning Rongrong smiled and said indifferently, "My body is fine. Helping a classmate is something I should do."

"By the way, Rongrong. Who exactly was that masked powerhouse? Why did he want to take Xiao Wu away?"

Tang San asked calmly, seizing the opportunity.

In his view, there must be some unknown secret hidden within Xiao Wu; otherwise, it wouldn't have alarmed that terrifying Title Douluo into taking action.

Tang San wanted to fish for some useful information.

Regarding this, Ning Rongrong was very rational, saying what should be said and remaining silent about what shouldn't.

"I only know that the masked man comes from the head of the Seven Great Sects, the Clear Sky Sect!"

"And he is extremely powerful. As for which specific existence from the Clear Sky Sect he is, I am not clear!"

Ning Rongrong said calmly.

"Clear Sky Sect? I'll remember that! It doesn't matter if he is the head of the Seven Great Sects or anything else."

"As long as he dares to hurt Xiao Wu, I, Tang San, will be at odds with him and treat him as an enemy!"

Tang San clenched his fists and spoke with hatred, his eyes filled with determination and anger.

"San, thank you!" Xiao Wu said gratefully.

Ning Rongrong smiled and said indifferently, "Tang San, you certainly have guts, not even fearing the Clear Sky Sect."

Tang San shrugged his shoulders and said, "If we soul masters are timid and afraid of this or that, we might as well go home and farm!"

"Tang San, you are quite right." Ning Rongrong still smiled faintly and replied calmly.

Hearing this from the side, Flender's mouth twitched violently, and he thought to himself, San, you might not know, but you come from the Clear Sky Sect yourself!

"Furthermore, that masked man from earlier was none other than your father, Tang Hao!"

"Little San, you actually want to stand against the Clear Sky Sect, to stand against your own father, Tang Hao. Child, have you lost your mind?"

If Tang Hao were still here, I'm afraid both Tang San and I would be smashed by his hammer tonight!

As Flender thought this, he also pondered how to make Tang San shut his mouth and stop spouting such rebellious nonsense.

Beside him, Zhao Wuji's forehead was covered in countless black lines.

"Little San, I really have to hand it to you, you actually dare to say such things..."

I hope that when you eventually learn the truth, you won't regret it, and won't want to slap your current, high-spirited self to death...

Zhao Wuji thought to himself, casting a complex look at Tang San.

Right now, neither Flender nor Zhao Wuji could reveal the information regarding Tang San's background.

Because this was something Tang Hao had intentionally kept hidden, and the two of them had no authority to speak of it.

If it were to be said, it should be Tang Hao, the father himself, who came out to say it!

"Rongrong, do you know why that masked man would target Xiao Wu?"

Tang San asked; this was the question he cared about most.

He then looked at Xiao Wu, his gaze softening as he asked, "Xiao Wu, do you know why that masked villain wanted to take you away?"

"This..." Xiao Wu hesitated, but still shook her head, saying, "I... I don't know!"

Xiao Wu dared not mention the fact that she was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in human form.

She had not yet reached level 60 and was currently in the childhood phase of the three stages of a soul beast transforming into a human, possessing no ability to protect herself.

Once such information leaked, she would be targeted by powerful experts and face endless pursuit.

And she would be forced to return to the Star Dou Forest to hide.

Xiao Wu had not yet reached the level of intimacy with Tang San where she could reveal her origins.

Ning Rongrong smiled. She was naturally not foolish enough to blurt out such a massive secret.

She smiled and said, "I'm not too sure either. Perhaps that masked man thought Xiao Wu looked quite pretty and wanted to take her back as a personal maid!"

As she spoke, Ning Rongrong reached out, her fair, jade-like fingers gently flicking the rabbit-ear hair clip.

"Mm~" Xiao Wu felt a bit shy, her body tensing up; Ning Rongrong was just too good at teasing...!

Listening to Ning Rongrong, Tang San knew that she did not want to reveal the secret regarding Xiao Wu.

Deeply calculating, Tang San naturally understood that if he continued to press the issue, not only would he fail to get the answer he wanted, but he would also invite the resentment of Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu.

Thus, Tang San followed Ning Rongrong's lead and said, "Xiao Wu is indeed cute; even this simple clothing cannot hide her beauty! It seems, Xiao Wu, you should dress even more modestly in the future so that you won't be targeted by those bad people!"

Tang San's original intention was to joke and lighten the atmosphere between them.

But having only known how to kill with hidden weapons, he did not understand much about emotions or romance.

In an instant, Tang San's words offended Ning Rongrong.

Ning Rongrong's brows furrowed immediately.

At this moment.

"Little San, you're right, I should be more low-key!" Xiao Wu nodded and said.

In Tang San's philosophy, one should conduct themselves with humility and avoid drawing attention.

Once one appears too brilliant, it is easy to be plucked out like a thorn in the eye!

That was why, throughout his journey, Tang San had been so low-key.

Among the Seven Devils, he was even willing to call Dai Mubai "Boss Dai," hiding his own sharpness.

Tang San believed that one must be low-key to paralyze the enemy's nerves.

Then, at the critical moment, he would reveal his edge and deliver a fatal blow.

Before evolving his Blue Silver Grass into the Blue Silver Emperor, Tang San's appearance was unremarkable, and combined with his simple attire, no one on the road ever mistook him for a protagonist, let alone knew he possessed terrifying hidden weapons and Tang Sect techniques.

It was only because he did not understand the female psyche that he would say such things.

Xiao Wu, believing herself to be a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, felt it was indeed inappropriate to dress too brightly and attract the attention of powerful soul masters.

Coupled with her inherent trust in Tang San, she agreed with his statement.

But Ning Rongrong was not happy.

Ning Rongrong arched her delicate brows and said, "Beauty is not a sin; human desire is the devil! Xiao Wu is so pretty; not dressing her up nicely is simply a waste!!"

As she spoke, Ning Rongrong cast a cold glance at Tang San.

The fact that Tang San could say such a thing meant there were issues with his worldview.

Ning Rongrong did not like it.

Coupled with the conversation that had just taken place.

The clever Ning Rongrong felt a slight sense of aversion toward Tang San.

After Ning Rongrong finished speaking.

Both Tang San and Xiao Wu were momentarily stunned.

Zhu Zhuqing, however, had a glint in her beautiful eyes as she chimed in, "That's right, beauty is not an original sin; human desire is the greatest demon! What is wrong with us girls wearing beautiful clothes?"

Seeing that Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing had such strong opinions and reactions to his words.

Tang San hurriedly changed his tune, saying, "Right, Rongrong and Zhuqing are right! When it comes down to it, it's just that I currently lack the ability to protect you well enough!"

"Xiao Wu, you should stay close to Rongrong and Zhuqing."

"While you are away, I will cultivate diligently and become even stronger!"

"Mm, Brother San, I'll listen to you!" Xiao Wu nodded.

Then, with a complex look in her eyes, Xiao Wu glanced alternately at Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing.

Xiao Wu felt that what Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing said was absolutely correct.

Human desire was indeed the greatest demon.

If they weren't coveting the immense benefits brought by a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, she wouldn't have to hide and skulk about...

"Rongrong, Zhuqing, you are right, we should dress beautifully!" Xiao Wu nodded slightly, feeling somewhat moved, as if she had found a happy, big family.

She felt that she, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing would surely get along very well.

They were all a group of beautiful girls, full of longing for the future!

Off to the side.

Dai Mubai, who was slumped on the ground and had already regained consciousness, curled his lip upon hearing this and thought to himself, What 'girls should dress beautifully'—it's nothing more than a means to please men!
