Liu Erlong's Disappointment in Yu Xiaogang, Meng Chen Reunites with Zhu Zhuqing

After beating Dai Mubai away, Liu Erlong turned to the terrified female student and gently comforted her, "It's alright, your teacher will help you. If anything like this happens again, just tell your teacher."

Upon hearing this, the female student's eyes were filled with gratitude and grievance. She suddenly threw herself into Liu Erlong's arms, hugging her tightly and sobbing.

"Oh ho~"

The female student's movements were too forceful; her face touched Liu Erlong's chest, immediately aggravating the whip marks on Liu Erlong's body inflicted by Meng Chen.

Fortunately, the female trainee was too busy sobbing to notice any of this.

"Dean, thank you..."

The female student seemed to have found a warm embrace, clinging tightly to Liu Erlong, rubbing her face against him, repeatedly expressing her gratitude.

This was tough on Liu Erlong, who blushed and felt his heart pound as he inhaled the fragrance emanating from the girl's body and was rubbed against her skin.

"Ugh... don't do that..."

Liu Erlong tried to push the female student away, but his body felt weak and sore.

Fortunately, the school bell rang at that moment.

"Alright, go to class now."

Liu Erlong finally found a legitimate excuse to get away.

The female student could only express her gratitude again before leaving.

It took Liu Erlong a while to recover. Recalling Dai Mubai's words, she felt she should talk to Yu Xiaogang.

"Bang bang bang!"

There was a knock on Yu Xiaogang's door. When he opened it and saw Liu Erlong standing there, a smile appeared on his face, "Erlong? What's up?"

When Liu Erlong saw Yu Xiaogang like this, she was immediately overwhelmed by love, her reason was replaced by lust, and she thought Yu Xiaogang was really handsome.

She spoke gently, "Xiao Gang, that student you brought named Dai Mubai threatened a female student in the Small Square today. I've already taught him a lesson. You need to keep a closer eye on your students and prevent them from causing trouble in the academy again."

Yu Xiaogang's smile froze for a moment.

"It can't be that bad, Dai Mubai. Although Erlong Mubai and the others have some personality flaws, they are still geniuses who are one in a million. How can you scold them like that?"

"Those who dare not cause trouble are mediocre. Dai Mubai's behavior only proves his excellence. Since your students are all mediocre anyway, you might as well provide some emotional value to geniuses."

Yu Xiaogang's words caused Liu Erlong's smile to freeze.

"Mediocre people... Xiaogang, many of those children come from ordinary farming families. It's not easy for their families to afford the tuition. They are not mediocre people; they just come from ordinary backgrounds. But that doesn't mean they should be trampled on by others."

Liu Erlong paused, a hint of disappointment in his eyes. "I thought you understood this."

The reason she founded Blue Tyrant Academy and only admitted commoners was precisely for this purpose.

But she didn't expect that Yu Xiaogang wouldn't understand.

Perhaps... Meng Chen can understand me?

The moment the thought crossed Liu Erlong's mind, he was startled and quickly suppressed it.

"What you're saying... is really true?"

Inside the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect on Seven Treasure Mountain, Ning Fengzhi was listening to his disciples' reports.

The disciple nodded. "Yes, many witnesses have testified that the young man was only Five-Ring Soul King, yet he defeated Liu Erlong, who was Soul Saint!"

Good heavens!

Ning Fengzhi utterly shocked. Soul King defeating Soul Saint? That was terrifying.

The boy's growth rate has far exceeded his initial expectations.

"Send an invitation to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy for me, inviting Meng Chen to visit the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Tell him that I have some cultivation matters I'd like to ask him for advice, and also to catch up with him."

The disciple accepted the order and withdrew.

"Hmph... Meng Chen, Meng Chen, are you... even human?"

Meng Chen's extraordinary talent even made Ning Fengzhi begin to doubt his species.

Anyone with eyes can see that Meng Chen is destined for great things, so Ning Fengzhi needs to build a relationship with him. Moreover, he still hasn't obtained the secret technique for evolving the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.

He felt it necessary to bring it up with Meng Chen himself.

When Meng Chen appeared on Seven Treasure Mountain the next day, Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing, who came out to greet him, were overjoyed.

Because Ning Fengzhi didn't tell Ning Rongrong who was coming, he only said that it was an important person and that Ning Rongrong should get to know him.

This left Ning Rongrong feeling resentful. Although she was the Young Sect Master, she was usually quite mischievous and didn't want to come out to greet the so-called "important person" at all. Therefore, she specially dragged Zhu Zhuqing to accompany her.

However, to her surprise, it was Meng Chen who arrived, which made Ning Rongrong's displeasure vanish.

After all, Meng Chen had saved her once, and he was also a handsome guy.

Ning Fengzhi saw the look of surprise on Ning Rongrong's face, and the cunning old man couldn't help but feel secretly pleased with himself.

This was his deliberate arrangement. Before Ning Rongrong came out, Ning Fengzhi hinted that an old man would be coming today, so that Ning Rongrong would be unhappy.

But once they actually meet and she discovers it's Meng Chen, this handsome young man, she'll be pleasantly surprised and become especially enthusiastic towards Meng Chen.

However... Ning Fengzhi did not expect that Ning Rongrong would bring Zhu Zhuqing out.

"Sect Master Ning Rongrong, Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, it's been a long time."

Meng Chen greeted him with a smile.

Ning Fengzhi nodded. "Young friend Meng is becoming more and more dignified and imposing."

Ning Rongrong wore a pale yellow dress today, and she looked much more energetic than when she was at the Shrek Academy. Her gaze carried a sense of comfort and ease that one only feels when returning home.

Zhu Zhuqing followed behind her, still dressed in a black outfit, her face as aloof as ever, but her eyes held a hint of surprise.

Ning Rongrong greeted him with a smile, saying warmly, "Meng Chen! It's been such a long time! My dad said he was inviting some guests over, and I never expected it to be you! If I had known, I would have dressed up even more beautifully!"

Meng Chen feigned surprise. "So this isn't your most beautiful look, Rongrong? Looks like I'm really not cut out for this."

"Loquacious!"

Although she scolded Meng Chen, Ning Rongrong was naturally quite happy to receive praise from others.

Zhu Zhuqing was rather aloof and reserved. She waited until Meng Chen and Ning Rongrong paused to greet them, saying, "We meet again, Meng Chen."

That's just how she is; she's secretly delighted, but she acts nonchalant.

Seeing Zhu Zhuqing's expression, Ning Fengzhi immediately felt that this was a sure thing.

Seeing her best friend's aloofness, Ning Rongrong couldn't help but tease, "Oh? Zhu Zhuqing, your reaction to Meng Chen is quite different from what I expected. You're not as enthusiastic as I imagined."

"Why... why should I be so enthusiastic?"

Zhu Zhuqing was somewhat hypocritical.

Ning Rongrong feigned helplessness. "Sigh, I wonder who it was that looked like they were about to cry when they heard me say that Meng Chen had a conflict with a Soul Saint."

"You!"

When Ning Rongrong exposed Zhu Zhuqing's secret thoughts in public, Zhu Zhuqing blushed and couldn't help but try to cover Ning Rongrong's mouth.
