Visitors from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect

Living with Zhu Zhuqing would indeed be the most convenient arrangement.

Besides, she could also receive Ye Xuan's guidance there.

Ning Rongrong had spent more time with Ye Xuan than anyone else lately, and she could clearly feel how much he helped her with her cultivation.

Yu Xiaogang's training had certainly helped them improve faster than before, but Ye Xuan's guidance was more effective.

After all, Yu Xiaogang only had theories; he had no practical experience of his own.

His students were the ones he used to put those theories into practice.

But Ye Xuan was different. He was a master of the sword, and when it came to Martial Souls, he could break through some of the fundamental principles of this world.

On top of that, he could learn about Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong's Martial Souls through their Soul Skills and guide them with even greater ease.

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

"Sure. Let's go see Dean Flender together," Ye Xuan readily agreed.

Then Ye Xuan, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ning Rongrong went together to the private room where Shrek Academy was staying.

Dai Mubai and Yu Xiaogang looked distinctly uncomfortable at the sight of Ye Xuan and Zhu Zhuqing.

Flender was the first to speak. Smiling, he greeted them, "Young Master Ye, is there something you need?"

"Dean Flender, I may need Rongrong to stay with Zhuqing for a while," Ye Xuan said gravely.

As soon as he said this, the private room fell into a terrifying silence.

Dai Mubai sneered inwardly. As expected, that man's Martial Soul is one that bewitches people. Ning Rongrong must have been bewitched, too. If we don't get rid of him, who will be next?

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

He began to feel a little sorry for Tang San, because in his eyes, Xiao Wu would inevitably be next.

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

If Xiao Wu really began favoring Ye Xuan, what would happen then?

Tang San was indeed shocked. He hadn't expected Ye Xuan to take Ning Rongrong away again. This wasn't a good sign for him.

Xiao Wu also found it strange. Why would Ning Rongrong suddenly go stay with Zhu Zhuqing?

As everyone fell silent, Yu Xiaogang was the one who finally spoke.

He immediately objected. "Absolutely not. Rongrong is a student of Shrek Academy. Why should she suddenly leave? She needs to train with the others every day. Ye Xuan, you took Zhu Zhuqing away, and that was already a concession on our part. Don't push your luck."

Ye Xuan didn't even glance at Yu Xiaogang. Instead, he said to Flender, "Dean Flender, there's a reason I want Rongrong to stay with Zhuqing. I want them to practice a Martial Soul Fusion Skill together. You've practiced one yourselves, so you should know that it takes spending every day together and training for a long time."

"A Martial Soul Fusion Skill? Are you serious?" Flender reacted strongly.

He, Liu Erlong, and Yu Xiaogang had a Martial Soul Fusion Skill themselves, so he naturally knew how powerful one could be.

If it was for practicing a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, there was no reason she couldn't leave.

If this was true, then even if Ye Xuan hadn't offered, Flender would have asked him to take Ning Rongrong away.

"Yes, a Martial Soul Fusion Skill." Ye Xuan nodded firmly.

"Impossible. It's absolutely impossible. Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing can't form a Martial Soul Fusion Skill with just the two of them," Yu Xiaogang objected, brimming with confidence this time.

This was related to Martial Souls, and in his eyes, it was his area of expertise.

He had discussed Martial Soul theory with Ye Xuan before, and he considered Ye Xuan's understanding of Martial Souls quite shallow.

He was confident he could refute Ye Xuan on this subject.

Watching Yu Xiaogang's agitation, Ye Xuan smiled. "Grandmaster, you think it's impossible. Could it be that you haven't understood Martial Souls deeply enough, or that you haven't been exposed to enough?"

"Ye Xuan, how long have you been studying Martial Souls? How dare you speak so arrogantly? Then tell me, how are they supposed to use a Martial Soul Fusion Skill?" Yu Xiaogang asked coldly.

"Dean Flender, do you need me to prove it?" Ye Xuan didn't bother responding to Yu Xiaogang. Instead, he looked at Flender.

Flender considered it. He didn't think it would be right to slight his brother, either.

After thinking it over, he said, "Young Master Ye, Martial Soul Fusion Skills aren't easy to master. We do need to see that it's possible. If there's a chance they can do it, Rongrong really should stay with you. By the way, unless something unexpected happens, someone from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect should arrive in the next day or two. Why don't we wait—"

Before Flender could finish, someone knocked on the door.

Ye Xuan sensed a powerful presence outside.

There was also a strong sword aura. Ye Xuan knew who had arrived without even looking.

"Come in," Flender said to the people outside, interrupted mid-sentence.

As soon as he spoke, the door opened.

Li Rusong walked in with two people.

"Father, Grandpa Sword, what are you doing here?"

Ning Rongrong ran happily toward the two. She was glad to see her father and Grandpa Sword, but she was also puzzled.

She hadn't even known her father was coming.

And from what Flender had just said, it was clear they were the ones who had notified him.

They had contacted her family behind her back. This filled Ning Rongrong with particular resentment.

At this point, Flender and Yu Xiaogang hurried forward to greet them. "Greetings, Sect Master Ning and Senior Sword Douluo."

"Dean Flender, you're too polite. You're my daughter's dean, so we're all family," Ning Fengzhi said warmly.

Sword Douluo, however, had focused his attention on Xiao Wu.

His gaze was as sharp as a sword, making Xiao Wu feel deeply uneasy.

There was a simple reason Sword Douluo was watching only Xiao Wu: he had noticed that she wasn't human.

Xiao Wu had no means of hiding what she was. With a Titled Douluo standing so close, it was only natural for him to notice something strange about her.

However, Sword Douluo was a man of principle. He didn't attack Xiao Wu outright because of it, nor did he interrogate her.

But even that brief glance left Xiao Wu in a panic.

She didn't dare take a chance—not when she couldn't be sure this Titled Douluo was a good person.

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

Should she run?

But if this Titled Douluo set his sights on her, could she still escape?

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

Tang San?

She had indeed come to see Tang San as family, as an older brother. She would never harm him, and she didn't want to drag him into trouble because of her.

Although she knew Tang San had some extraordinary abilities, they still wouldn't be enough against a Titled Douluo.

The only one here who seemed capable of facing a Titled Douluo was Ye Xuan.

Ask him for help?
