She's Still a Child-This Is Exactly the Kind of Child Who Needs Teaching!

This...

Ning Fengzhi stood there in a daze.

He had already lowered his stance considerably, thinking the matter could be resolved just like that.

No matter what, Ning Rongrong was the little princess of their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Kneeling in public had already cost her a great deal of face.

"Senior, my daughter has already apologized. This matter..." Ning Fengzhi began.

Before he could finish.

Ye Qingtian's indifferent voice rang out. "An insincere apology does not count as an apology!"

"There are many books among the common folk, mostly aimed at women, where women can freely humiliate men."

"But this is reality, not the world inside those books meant solely for entertainment."

"If you want to apologize, then apologize sincerely! This is already this seat giving your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect enough face!"

"Sect Master Ning, as the head of a sect, you should understand the principle of stopping while you are ahead!"

Ye Qingtian spoke calmly.

His indifferent gaze swept over Ning Rongrong.

He met Ning Rongrong's stubborn gaze, filled with shame, indignation, and a trace of madness.

After pondering briefly, he continued:

"Since Sect Master Ning's daughter does not know how to be sincere, this seat can teach her!"

"This place is more than a thousand paces from Heaven Dou City's gates. Have her kneel once every three steps from here until she leaves Heaven Dou City, and this matter will be considered settled!"

"I have said all that needs to be said. Sect Master Ning may decide for himself!"

When his words fell.

Ye Qingtian had no intention of saying anything further.

With Ning Rongrong's spoiled temperament, he had no desire to indulge her in the slightest.

He was not Ning Rongrong's father. He had no reason to accommodate her emotions or save her face.

Besides...

Ning Rongrong had slandered him first.

If he had not possessed sufficient strength, he would have been the one slandered.

Once his reputation had truly been ruined, he would have found it impossible to move freely within Heaven Dou City.

Ning Fengzhi's face turned livid.

He digested the conditions Ye Qingtian had laid out.

He stood there in extreme embarrassment, completely unsure how to choose or compromise.

Declaring war directly on a Titled Douluo like Ye Qingtian was not a wise move.

But making Ning Rongrong kneel all the way back to Shrek Academy was hardly realistic either!

They had already lost enough face today. If Ning Rongrong had to kneel out of the city, their reputation would be utterly destroyed.

Sword Douluo frowned slightly, and Bone Douluo did the same. The two exchanged a glance.

Without saying a word, they had already conveyed everything through their eyes.

"Impossible!"

"I will never kneel back to Shrek Academy!"

"I already knelt and apologized. This matter should end here!"

Ning Rongrong went mad.

She made to rise from the ground.

However, Ye Qingtian did not let her get her way.

His indifferent gaze swept over her, and Ning Rongrong's legs seemed filled with lead, welded firmly to the ground.

She struggled wildly, yet could not stand up.

Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo revealed shocked expressions once more.

They had not sensed even the slightest aura pressure from Ye Qingtian, yet he had rendered Ning Rongrong unable to move.

Such a miraculous ability was beyond their reach.

Ning Rongrong was still struggling.

She could no longer maintain the calmness and stubbornness on her face.

Her shame and indignation could not be suppressed at all.

She could not imagine what would happen if she truly completed the apology process Ye Qingtian demanded.

The consequences would be terrifying.

She had already lost face. If she did as Ye Qingtian said again...

Then there would be no place for her in Heaven Dou City in the future.

As she walked through the streets, someone might jump out and point at her, saying:

"Look, that's the unreasonable girl who once knelt out of Heaven Dou City. She really kicked an iron plate that time."

At the thought of such possibilities, she would rather die right here.

"Alas..."

At that moment, Sword Douluo stepped forward.

He let out a heavy sigh. Taking Bone Douluo's place, Sword Douluo stood at eye level with Ye Qingtian.

"My friend, Rongrong is still just a child!"

"Children are young and ignorant. My friend, you should let this matter end here!"

"Our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has no intention of becoming enemies with you. Why must you make this matter go so far?"

Sword Douluo spoke earnestly.

In the end, he still stepped forward to protect Ning Rongrong.

He had watched Ning Rongrong grow up. If he had not known that she had truly caused a grave disaster this time, he would not even have wanted to see her kneel like this.

This was already the limit of what he could accept. If there was anything more to come...

Bone Douluo, standing to the side, said something similar to Sword Douluo, likewise making clear his intention to protect Ning Rongrong.

Ye Qingtian glanced at the two of them. "If I were merely an ordinary person today, would I have had no choice but to let her slander me?"

"Just because she is still a child, she can act recklessly? You two are too fixated on appearances!"

Sword Douluo was rendered speechless.

Bone Douluo was the same, standing silently where he was.

The surrounding crowd, including Tang San and the others from Shrek Academy's side, were also left speechless.

That was indeed the logic of the matter. They truly could not simply turn the page because Ning Rongrong was still young.

The reason she had knelt was indeed because Ye Qingtian was strong enough.

Without strength, they would not even have appeared here. Flender and the other Shrek Academy teachers would have been enough to resolve the matter.

"Since you refuse to yield, then allow this old man to seek your guidance."

"If this old man wins, then how about you let today's matter end here?"

Sword Douluo said solemnly.

Upon hearing this,

Ning Rongrong immediately revealed a joyful expression.

With Sword Douluo's words, she felt that she had seen hope.

Ye Qingtian remained silent.

Ning Rongrong had become the way she was today.

Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo were inseparably connected to it.

They had protected her too excessively, allowing Ning Rongrong to become so lawless.

But once he had made a decision, he never changed it.

If he had said Ning Rongrong would kneel back to Shrek Academy, then she had to kneel!

Ning Rongrong was definitely kneeling this entire way!

Otherwise, there was only death!

"What do you think, my friend?"

After waiting a long time without receiving Ye Qingtian's answer, Sword Douluo spoke again. "What you said is indeed correct, but this old man is still this child's grandfather. What grandfather would not feel for his own granddaughter?"

Ye Qingtian no longer remained silent.

Meeting Sword Douluo's gaze, he said calmly:

"A battle with you outside the city. If you can win, this seat will agree to your request!"

"If you lose, then you will personally supervise her as she kneels back to Shrek Academy!"

Sword Douluo pondered for a moment.

From the corner of his eye, he noticed Ning Rongrong looking at him with a face full of hope.

His aura abruptly surged to its peak. The Seven Kill Sword appeared beneath his feet, and he stepped onto it, shooting toward the outskirts of Heaven Dou City.

After a long while, his voice slowly drifted back:

"Fine!"

"We shall do as you say!"

"A battle outside the city. Let our strength decide!"
