Ning Rongrong stumbled back to the side, her fair cheeks so red they looked ready to drip blood. Her little hands nervously clutched the hem of her clothes, her gaze darting away, not daring to look at Ye Yun at all.
"Rongrong, why are you here?"
Ye Yun yawned. He did not blush awkwardly like she did. After all, she was still just a little kid—what thoughts could she possibly have?
Then, when he turned his head, he noticed a refined, elegantly dressed man standing nearby.
"Uh... and this is?"
"This is my dad."
Ning Rongrong answered in a small voice, touching her fingers together.
Ning Fengzhi wore a gentle smile, as though he did not mind what had just happened in the slightest. Instead, he took out an exquisitely carved box from his soul tool.
"Young friend Ye Yun, hello. This is our first meeting, so here is a modest gift. I hope you won't look down on it."
Ye Yun opened it and saw that inside, lined with velvet, a medicinal herb lay quietly. Its medicinal fragrance rushed into his face, and it looked to be quite old.
"This is three-thousand-year-old Spirit Nourishing Grass. Steep it in water and drink it. It can calm the mind and speed up soul power cultivation."
Listening to Ning Fengzhi's explanation, Ye Yun felt a little disappointed. He did not rely on painstaking cultivation to increase his soul power at all. This Spirit Nourishing Grass was a supreme treasure to others, but to him it was not useful in the slightest. It would have been more practical to just cash it out directly.
However, the man had come with good intentions and a humble attitude. One did not slap a smiling face, so Ye Yun could hardly embarrass him.
He put away the wooden box, stood up, and thanked Ning Fengzhi.
But that fleeting look of disappointment just now was still precisely caught by the meticulous Ning Fengzhi.
Ning Fengzhi was secretly astonished. Even three-thousand-year-old Spirit Nourishing Grass can't enter his eyes?
If such a medicinal herb were placed outside, it would definitely be a treasure that every major sect fought over madly. Even Spirit Hall would not dare say it looked down on it.
It seemed he had still underestimated this child.
His evaluation of Ye Yun instantly rose by several levels again.
Afterward, Ning Fengzhi began probing him in all kinds of ways with his words, and Ye Yun also began making things up. In any case, he had never seen the real Penacony either, so wasn't it whatever he said it was?
On the other side, Ning Rongrong, who had finally recovered, curiously picked up the game console Xiao Wu had thrown on the bed.
Looking at the little figure constantly jumping around inside, along with the strongly rhythmic background music, the novel gadget immediately caught her attention.
"Xiao Wu, what is this? It looks so interesting."
"Hmph, hmph~ This is the game console my brother gave me. Jealous, aren't you~"
Xiao Wu put her hands on her hips, her face full of pride, and explained how to play it to Ning Rongrong with the intent to show off.
"Watch me. This side is the movement button, and this side is for jumping and attacking."
The two little girls huddled by the bed like that, one focusing intently on playing the game while the other craned her neck to watch.
Ning Fengzhi had noticed the game console in Xiao Wu's hands long ago, but he had not had the chance to ask. Now was perfect.
"Young friend Ye Yun, I see that the item in that little girl's hands, called a game console, is truly exquisite. If it were placed in an auction house, those nobles would certainly spend a great sum to bid for it. Was this brought over from Universe Continent by your esteemed teacher?"
"No. I made it with my own hands."
A trace of astonishment appeared on Ning Fengzhi's face.
"Oh? Young friend, your methods are truly remarkable. As far as I know, even the masters of Gengjin City could not create such a wondrous item. I wonder if you have any extras. Uncle is willing to buy one for four hundred thousand gold coins."
Ye Yun nodded, took the gold card, then took out a console from his storage ring and handed it to Ning Fengzhi.
Afterward, he noticed Ning Rongrong staring eagerly from the side, so he reached out and beckoned her over.
"Rongrong, come here. I'll give you a game console too."
"Really?! Thank you, Brother Yun!"
Ning Rongrong hugged Ye Yun in surprise and bounced up and down. Once the game console was in her hands, she turned and pulled Ye Yun down to sit, asking him how to turn it on.
Ning Fengzhi shook his head but did not stop her. He picked up the game console and examined it carefully, and the more he looked, the more deeply his brows furrowed.
Is the technology of this Universe Continent truly this advanced? Even a half-grown child like him can make something like this, and from the look of his soul power, he has also reached over rank twenty. He's truly a monster.
I wonder how Uncle Jian's side is going... Could that suddenly appearing Titled Douluo be young friend Ye Yun's teacher?
At the same time, in a secluded corner outside the academy, Chen Xin and Tang Hao stood facing each other.
Tang Hao's body faintly exuded dense hostility, but Chen Xin's brows were slightly furrowed, his heart full of confusion. He simply could not understand why the other party had come up and acted so confrontational right away.
"I was the one who found that hundred-thousand-year soul beast first. You people from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had better leave at once. Otherwise... hmph!"
Tang Hao held the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand and spoke with a cold face.
Now Chen Xin was even more bewildered. A hundred-thousand-year soul beast was in this lousy school? Why had he not sensed it in the slightest?
Or was he referring to Ye Yun? He must think that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect did not know about Universe Continent, so he wanted to play dumb and monopolize this opportunity, letting the Clear Sky Sect reemerge.
At this thought, Chen Xin gave a cold snort, and the soul power around him surged.
"This opportunity is not something you can monopolize. If you want to try, our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will accompany you."
His forceful attitude left Tang Hao somewhat uncertain. Fighting them would not work. With the support-type Ning Fengzhi on the other side, he could not beat them in his normal state.
Blowing up his rings would be more than his own body could bear, and it might even alert Spirit Hall.
Damn it! Could it be that the hundred-thousand-year spirit ring and spirit bone were going to slip into someone else's hands?
Tang Hao's eyes were shadowed, the veins on his hands bulging.
"Hmph! The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is truly impressive! I'll remember this debt!"
Seeing Tang Hao leave, Chen Xin did not dare delay either. He rode his sword back to Ning Fengzhi's side, guarding against the chance that Tang Hao might do something desperate.
When Ning Fengzhi saw Chen Xin's grave expression, an uneasy feeling immediately rose in his heart.
"Uncle Sword, what happened?"
"A Titled Douluo has set his sights on young friend Ye Yun."
Xiao Wu, who had been playing a game, trembled all over, her heart filled with worry and sorrow.
It must be because I dragged Brother into this...
Seeing Xiao Wu so frightened, Ning Rongrong patted her back with her usual carefree manner to comfort her.
"Don't worry~ Why don't you all come to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect? Our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has two Titled Douluo, Grandpa Sword and Grandpa Bone. If he still dares to come, we'll have Grandpa Sword cut him down!"
Ning Fengzhi nodded approvingly. This daughter had not been raised in vain.
"Rongrong is right, young friend Ye Yun. I know your own strength is extraordinary, and that you do not fear ordinary Titled Douluo. But now that you are out tempering yourself, it would be inconvenient for your sect elders to act as they please, so in the end, this remains an added risk.
Why not come to my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and rest for the time being? It just so happens that we intend to establish relations with your family. What do you think?"
After thinking for a moment, Ye Yun nodded decisively.
Right now, materials were holding him back. If he could have the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's help, his improvement should be even faster.
"Thank you, Uncle Ning. But can I bring Xiao Wu and Tang San with me?"
"Of course, that's no problem." Ning Fengzhi smiled calmly. "The gates of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect are always open to you."
He looked calm on the surface, but inside, he was overjoyed.
This time, not only had he built a friendship with Ye Yun, he had also gained two geniuses with innate full spirit power.
It was simply a huge win! With their help, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would definitely be able to rise to another level!
