Visitors from the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect

Moving in with Zhu Zhuqing was indeed the most convenient arrangement.

Moreover, going there would allow her to receive guidance from Ye Xuan.

Ning Rongrong had spent the most time with Ye Xuan lately, and she could clearly feel how significant his help was to her cultivation.

Grandmaster's training had certainly helped them progress faster than before, but Ye Xuan's guidance was far more effective.

After all, Grandmaster only possessed theory; he had no practical experience of his own.

These students were merely the subjects he used for his experiments.

Ye Xuan was different. He was a master of the sword, and when it came to martial spirits, he could shatter some of the underlying logic of this world.

Furthermore, because he could perceive the martial spirits of Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong through his own soul skills, his guidance was even more intuitive and precise.

"Brother Ye, come with me to see Dean Flender. I'll talk to him," Ning Rongrong said.

"Very well, let's go see Dean Flender together," Ye Xuan readily agreed.

Afterward, Ye Xuan, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ning Rongrong arrived at the suite where Shrek Academy was temporarily staying.

Dai Mubai and Grandmaster appeared extremely uncomfortable at the arrival of Ye Xuan and Zhu Zhuqing.

Flender was the first to speak, greeting them with a smile: "Young Master Ye, is there something you need?"

"Dean Flender, I would like for Rongrong to stay with Zhuqing for a while," Ye Xuan said in a grave tone.

As soon as these words were spoken, the suite fell into a chilling silence.

Dai Mubai sneered inwardly: As expected, this man's martial spirit is one that bewitches the mind. I fear Ning Rongrong has been bewitched as well. If he isn't removed, who will be next?

Thinking this, he couldn't help but glance at Tang San.

He began to feel a sense of pity for Tang San, for in his eyes, the next target would inevitably be Xiao Wu.

When they spent time with Tang San, they had all sensed his special feelings for Xiao Wu.

If Xiao Wu truly leaned toward Ye Xuan, what kind of scene would that be?

Tang San was indeed shocked; he hadn't expected Ye Xuan to try and take Ning Rongrong away again, which was not a good sign for him.

Xiao Wu also felt it was strange—why, for no apparent reason, should Ning Rongrong go to live with Zhu Zhuqing?

As everyone remained silent, Grandmaster finally spoke up.

He blocked the request directly: "That is impossible. Rongrong is a student of Shrek Academy; why should she suddenly leave? She needs to train with the others every day. Ye Xuan, we have already conceded by letting you take Zhu Zhuqing away—do not push your luck."

Ye Xuan didn't even look at Grandmaster, turning instead to Flender: "Dean Flender, there is a reason I want Rongrong to stay with Zhuqing. I want them to practice a martial spirit fusion skill together. You have practiced such skills yourselves, so you should know that it requires living and training together for a long period."

"A martial spirit fusion skill? Are you serious?" Flender's reaction was intense upon hearing this.

He, Liu Erlong, and Grandmaster possessed a martial spirit fusion skill, so he naturally understood its power.

If it were truly for the sake of practicing a fusion skill, there was no reason she couldn't leave.

As long as it was true, even if Ye Xuan didn't ask, he would have requested that Ye Xuan take Ning Rongrong with him.

"Yes, a martial spirit fusion skill," Ye Xuan nodded affirmatively.

"Impossible. That is absolutely impossible. The martial spirits of Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing cannot form a fusion skill on their own," Grandmaster said, sounding exceptionally confident in his obstruction.

Because this concerned martial spirits, he felt he had entered his comfort zone.

He had discussed martial spirit theory with Ye Xuan before, and in his view, Ye Xuan's understanding of the subject was quite superficial.

In this area, he was confident he could refute Ye Xuan.

Watching Grandmaster's agitated state, Ye Xuan smiled and said: "Grandmaster, you think it's impossible—could it be that your understanding of martial spirits is not thorough enough, or perhaps you simply haven't encountered enough?"

"Ye Xuan, how long have you even been studying martial spirits to be so arrogant? Tell me then, how exactly do you think they can perform a martial spirit fusion skill?" Grandmaster asked coldly.

"Dean Flender, do you need me to prove it?" Ye Xuan ignored Grandmaster and looked at Flender.

Flender considered it, feeling he shouldn't completely disregard his brother's face.

He pondered for a moment and said: "Young Master Ye, martial spirit fusion skills are not easily mastered. We do need to see some possibility of it. If there is, then Rongrong should indeed go stay with you. By the way, if nothing goes wrong, someone from the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect will be arriving in the next two days. Why don't we wait..."

Before Flender could finish his sentence, a knock sounded at the door.

Ye Xuan sensed a powerful presence outside.

Moreover, there was a sharp sword intent accompanying it. Ye Xuan didn't need to look to know who had arrived.

"Come in," Flender said to the door after being interrupted.

As soon as he finished speaking, the door was pushed open.

Li Rusong walked in, accompanied by two others.

"Father, Grandpa Sword, why are you here?"

Ning Rongrong trotted happily toward them. While she was glad to see her father and Grandpa Sword, she was also filled with confusion.

She had no idea her father was coming here.

And given what Flender had just said, it was clear they had been notified.

The fact that they had kept this from her and contacted her family made Ning Rongrong feel a deep sense of resentment.

At this moment, Flender and Yu Xiaogang hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "Greetings, Sect Master Ning, Senior Sword Douluo."

"Dean Flender is too polite. You are my daughter's dean; we are all family here," Ning Fengzhi said gently.

Meanwhile, Sword Douluo had fixed his attention on Xiao Wu.

His gaze was as sharp as a blade, making Xiao Wu feel extremely uneasy.

The reason Sword Douluo focused solely on Xiao Wu was simple: he had noticed that Xiao Wu was not human.

Xiao Wu possessed no means of concealment, and with a Title Douluo standing so close, it was only natural for him to notice her peculiarities.

However, Sword Douluo was a man of integrity; he did not immediately attack Xiao Wu because of this, nor did he interrogate her.

Yet, his brief scrutiny still left Xiao Wu feeling deeply panicked.

She dared not gamble, for she could not be sure if this Title Douluo was a good person.

In that fleeting moment, Xiao Wu quickly calculated what she should do next.

Should she run?

But if she were targeted by this Title Douluo, would she even be able to escape now?

And if she didn't run, who could she rely on?

Could she rely on Tang San?

She truly regarded Tang San as family now, as her brother, and because of that, she would not harm him, nor did she want to implicate him because of herself.

Although she knew Tang San possessed some extraordinary methods, they were still insufficient when facing a Title Douluo.

Here, the only one capable of contending with a Title Douluo seemed to be Ye Xuan.

Should I ask him for help?
