Chen Xin, Let's Compete! You'll Have to Ask Qingling Whether She Agrees! Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong Were Deeply Shocked!

Chen Xin, Let's Compete! You'll Have to Ask Qingling Whether She Agrees! Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong Were Deeply Shocked!

Hearing the familiar voice behind her, Ning Rongrong's lips unconsciously curled up. "Bone Grandfather! Rongrong missed you."

After saying that, without even checking whether anyone was behind her, she turned and accurately threw herself into Gu Rong's arms.

"Hahaha, let me see whether Rongrong has gotten thinner after five days apart."

Seeing that Ning Rongrong was safe and sound, Gu Rong's suspended heart finally settled.

Only then did he notice the little girl beside Chen Xin.

"Huh? Chen Xin, the girl beside you..."

"She is the disciple I took in, Chen Qingling. Her martial soul is the Light Goddess Butterfly, and she has Innate Full Soul Power."

Gu Rong's pupils widened, his mouth slightly agape, his expression one of astonishment.

"Innate Full Soul Power?"

"A genius seen only once in a century!"

"Sword Bonehead, what kind of luck is this? You actually managed to take in such a gifted disciple."

Chen Xin crossed his arms, and a rare smile appeared on his face.

"What? Don't tell me you're jealous?"

Gu Rong snorted and turned his head away, unwilling to look at him.

Ever since the two had met, they had competed with each other both openly and secretly.

Anything they could compete over, they would go all out to fight for, determined to decide who was superior.

Their conflicts seemed intense, but in truth, they shared an unbreakable brotherly bond.

As the center of the conversation, Chen Qingling did not say a word throughout it all. Her eyes curiously examined the luxurious Council Hall.

She had never seen a place so extravagant before.

The outside world really was wonderful.

Chen Qingling was glad she had come out to see it, and she could also use this opportunity to search for Mother's whereabouts.

With the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to rely on, finding Mother should not be too difficult, right?

After a moment of silence and much inner struggle, Gu Rong slowly spoke.

"Sword Bonehead, how about we compete again?"

"Compete over what?"

"Let's compete to see who can teach Qingling better. What do you think?"

Ning Fengzhi, seated in the place of honor, was a complete mess.

He knew how attractive Innate Full Soul Power was, but he had never expected it to make two Titled Douluo scramble to take someone as a disciple.

It was unprecedented even in the history of Douluo Continent.

To be accepted as a disciple by two Titled Douluo was an immense honor.

Yet Chen Xin shook his head at something that was clearly beneficial to Qingling, making his position known.

"This isn't something I, as her master, can decide. You'll have to ask Qingling whether she agrees."

"If she doesn't agree, there's nothing I can do."

Gu Rong then turned his gaze toward Chen Qingling, smiling as warmly and kindly as he could.

"Qingling, would you be willing to become my disciple, Gu Rong's disciple?"

Ning Rongrong: ???

No, why?!

Why was it that after Sword Grandpa took Qingling as his disciple, his attitude toward her was so much worse than before?

And now even Bone Grandfather was going to be taken away by her.

For a moment, Ning Rongrong could not accept it.

Why had things turned out like this?

Was she not good enough? Was she far inferior to Qingling?

Her former pride and arrogance shattered completely at this moment.

In terms of talent, she was inferior to Qingling. In terms of strength, she was also inferior. Even in terms of background, she was far behind.

Before Chen Qingling, she was nothing at all, just a Zha Zha Hui.

And when it came to personality, she had always been a willful and spoiled Little Devil Girl.

While Qingling was gentle and mild-tempered.

In every aspect, Qingling utterly crushed Ning Rongrong. It was practically a dimensional strike.

No wonder Sword Grandpa and Bone Grandfather favored Qingling.

Chen Xin and Gu Rong had no idea that their appreciation for talent had led Ning Rongrong astray.

At that very moment, she resolved to settle things with Chen Qingling once and for all.

Pressure created motivation.

"Um..."

Chen Qingling's gaze darted away as she hesitated to speak.

"Qingling, you should think this through. Anything Sword Bonehead can do, I can do too."

"With two Titled Douluo helping you, what could possibly remain undone?"

Chen Qingling had not listened to a single word of the earlier nonsense, but the final phrase, what could possibly remain undone, made her eyes light up.

Whether she took him as a master or not did not really matter to Chen Qingling. What she wanted was to find Mother's whereabouts faster.

"Alright."

"But you have to help me find my Mother."

"No problem. Forget one thing, even ten things would be no trouble for me!" Gu Rong grinned from ear to ear and patted Chen Xin on the shoulder.

"Did you see that? Qingling is my disciple now too."

Chen Xin said, "What's there to brag about? We still have to see who teaches her better."

"Besides, with Qingling's talent, even without the involvement of the two of us Titled Douluo, she could become one of the strongest Titled Douluo in the future."

Gu Rong's pupils abruptly contracted. He had never heard Chen Xin give anyone such a high evaluation.

He could not help but look at Chen Qingling a few more times. The more he looked, the more extraordinary she seemed.

"Sword Bonehead, what is Qingling's background?"

"She lived in the Star Dou Great Forest. Her father is a Reclusive Expert who can teleport items through the air."

"What?!"

Gu Rong and Ning Fengzhi were stunned.

What had they just heard?

Teleporting items through the air?

Wasn't that far too exaggerated?

"Chen Xin, you're not joking, are you?"

Chen Xin shook his head, his solemn expression showing that he was not joking.

At once, Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong became curious about Chen Qingling's father.

What kind of Reclusive Expert could teleport items through the air?

"Um..."

"I want to find my Mother."

Chen Qingling had never forgotten why she came to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

"Alright, alright, no problem."

"I'll immediately mobilize the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's resources to find your Mother's whereabouts."

"But she may be difficult to find. We have no name, appearance, or identifying traits. This is like looking for a needle in the ocean."

"But if we don't look, we'll definitely never find her for the rest of our lives."

"It's getting late. After all that travel, Qingling, you must be tired too."

"Rongrong, please arrange a place for Qingling to stay."

"Alright, Qingling, let's go." Ning Rongrong took Chen Qingling's hand and strode out of the Council Hall.

After leaving the Council Hall, Chen Qingling stared intently at the surrounding buildings.

"So this is the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?"

"It is so huge and magnificent."

Thinking of how she had always lived in a Thatched Cottage, Chen Qingling felt a little sour inside and envied Ning Rongrong's pampered life.

What she did not know was that Ning Rongrong envied her as well.

Chen Qingling could not quite understand why father had chosen to live in seclusion. Did he dislike the outside world?

Or perhaps the outside world had broken his heart, and he had chosen never to emerge again?

Amid everyone's speculation and praise, Chen Qingling had come to believe that her father truly was a Reclusive Expert.

She made up her mind and set three small goals for herself.

Become stronger, find Mother, and uncover father's mysterious veil.

Chen Qingling felt quite pleased with herself, thinking she was definitely a filial daughter.

"Qingling? Qingling?"

"Qingling!!!"

"Ah?"

Ning Rongrong's calls pulled Chen Qingling back from her thoughts.

"What is it, Rongrong?"

"I called you so many times, Qingling, but you didn't respond. I thought you were stunned by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's buildings."

"Uh... I suppose you could say that."

"Come on. Before it gets dark, I'll take you around the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect first."
