Ning Fengzhi nodded slightly and walked inside, surrounded by several senior academy officials.
Ning Rongrong trailed behind them, dragging her feet in boredom like a kitten without bones.
Before long.
Something in the distance suddenly caught her eye.
A group of people was coming along the academy's main avenue in a grand procession.
They all wore aqua-blue uniforms and carried a cool, aloof air. The girl at the very front had long, ice-blue hair and was so beautiful that it was impossible to look away.
Skywater Academy.
That must be Shui Bing'er!
Ning Rongrong blinked.
"Wow..."
Even as a girl herself, Ning Rongrong could not help marveling inwardly.
What a beautiful, elegant older girl!
And just as Skywater Academy's group passed by.
She noticed a boy standing beneath the shade of a tree beside the road.
He looked only eleven or twelve, with a tall, slender figure and an almost outrageously handsome face.
His gaze happened to meet that of Skywater Academy's captain.
The two nodded slightly to each other in greeting.
Then the icy beauty withdrew her gaze and continued walking.
Ning Rongrong could not help giving the boy another look.
Who is he?
Someone Skywater Academy's captain would take the initiative to greet?
She had heard of Shui Bing'er's reputation: cold, aloof, and barely willing to acknowledge anyone.
Anyone who could make her nod first had to possess either tremendous strength or a formidable background.
Yet the boy looked unfamiliar, not like a disciple from any major sect.
"Daddy, who's that?"
She could not resist asking.
Ning Fengzhi followed her gaze, a trace of amusement flashing through his eyes.
"He's Tang Tian."
He had read the intelligence gathered over the past few days and had some impression of Tang Tian.
Ning Rongrong froze.
Tang Tian?
*That eleven-year-old, rank-thirty-five
