The next day.
This time, Ning Xuan really did come out leaning on the wall...
Tang Yuehua stood outside her office, laughing so enchantingly that she trembled like a flowering branch.
"Remember what you promised me. Don't stay away too long from now on."
As soon as he left the Moonlight Pavilion, someone hurried over to support him.
"Young Sect Master, a message came from the Sect Master. He asked you to find some time to return."
"What's the matter?"
Ning Xuan asked as he climbed into the carriage.
"It seems Miss Rongrong has gone missing."
Ning Xuan immediately frowned, an inexplicable wave of irritation rising within him.
"Has anyone checked Blue Tyrant Academy?"
He asked.
"Yes. His Eminence Chen Xin just returned, too. He didn't see Miss Rongrong."
"All right, I understand. Head back to the Marketplace first."
The carriage soon drove away from the Moonlight Pavilion.
When he returned to the Marketplace, Chen Xin was standing by a second-floor window, looking outside with his brows tightly knitted in worry.
"Grandpa Sword, I'm back."
Ning Xuan spoke with some embarrassment.
Chen Xin turned around. Seeing his somewhat pale face, he immediately frowned and said with an odd expression,
"Little Xuan, you need to show a little restraint..."
Ning Xuan grew even more embarrassed.
Tang Yuehua had truly tasted the marrow and craved more, demanding it endlessly...
Every time she saw Ning Xuan wanting to sound the retreat, she put her tireless silver tongue to work...
Eating her fill and taking more, with spit flying...
In the end, Ning Xuan could only rally his forces again, refusing to stop until he had fought to the death!
Even as he left, she was still recounting the suffering of her thirty-odd years...
An empty bedchamber had been easy enough to guard.
The difficulty came after tasting that salty tang...
Seeing Ning Xuan's embarrassed expression, Chen Xin shook his head helplessly before sighing and saying,
"Did you know Rongrong has gone missing?"
"Yes."
Ning Xuan nodded.
"The coachman told me on the way back."
"I went to Blue Tyrant Academy. It's a complete mess there right now. I asked several people, but none of them had seen Rongrong return."
Chen Xin frowned as he spoke.
"She probably didn't return to Blue Tyrant Academy. As for where she went, I really don't know."
"She should be all right."
Ning Xuan replied,
"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul is easy to recognize. Once the Soul Masters out there see her Martial Soul, they certainly won't dare do anything to her."
That was a fact!
The Martial Souls of the great clans were like identifying marks.
They represented not only strength, but also the identity of each clan.
"Let's hope so!"
Chen Xin added,
"By the way, the Sect Master sent word asking us to return."
"Isn't that because of Rongrong?"
Ning Xuan was puzzled.
Since Ning Rongrong had gone missing, wasn't sending people to find her the most urgent matter? What use was calling them back?
"There's something even more important!"
Chen Xin patted Ning Xuan's shoulder, his expression complicated.
"You'll have to shoulder a heavy burden. Be ready."
Ning Xuan had no idea what he meant.
"Your Eminence Chen Xin, all the account books you requested are ready."
Cao Manager suddenly walked in carrying a Storage Soul Tool.
"All right, understood."
Chen Xin accepted it with a smile.
"Let's go. Back to the clan."
At the same time.
At the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
Eighteen fully loaded carriages stood in order outside the clan grounds, while a member of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan checked their contents against the gift register one by one.
Only after confirming that everything was correct and nothing had been omitted did he report with a reluctant expression,
"Clan Leader, all the betrothal gifts to be returned to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect according to the original register are here."
"Are you certain there are no problems?"
Yu Yuanzhen asked gravely.
"Nothing is missing. But Clan Leader, do we really have to return all of this?"
The clansman spoke with an unwilling expression.
"Even if we kept some, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect wouldn't notice..."
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had vast holdings and wealth, so naturally, it could casually give away this staggering fortune. But the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan could not!
They were also one of the continent's top clans.
But in terms of wealth, they could not compare to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect at all.
Thanks to this tremendous fortune, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had enjoyed only half a month of prosperity. Now that it had to be returned, complaints had arisen throughout the clan.
"Shut up!"
Yu Yuanzhen roared angrily.
"The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan cannot afford that disgrace!"
Seeing that he had finally stopped talking, Yu Yuanzhen softened his tone and asked,
"Has Miss Erlong still not returned?"
"No."
The clansman shook his head.
"But she should be back today."
Yu Yuanzhen drew a deep breath and said,
"Wrap all the betrothal gifts we're returning in oilcloth. We'll wait another two days."
Once Liu Erlong brought back the Immortal Herb, he was confident he could break through to become a Super Douluo. Then he would have nothing to fear even when facing Chen Xin.
Yu Yuanzhen turned to return to his residence.
But just then, a stern shout suddenly came from the distance.
"Stop!"
Yu Yuanzhen halted and looked toward the voice in surprise.
"This is the heart of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's grounds. No one may enter without permission."
"I want to see Dean Liu Erlong."
An imperious female voice followed.
But at that moment, perhaps because of a long, arduous journey, the voice was hurried and accompanied by heavy panting.
"Looking for Liu Erlong?"
Yu Yuanzhen froze.
"Who are you?"
"Um... just tell her I'm Ning Rongrong from Blue Tyrant Academy. I really have something very important to discuss. I have to see Dean Liu Erlong right away."
"Ning Rongrong?"
Yu Yuanzhen frowned and asked the clansman beside him,
"Why does that name sound familiar?"
"Reporting to the Clan Leader."
The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon clansman's expression turned odd.
"She's Ning Fengzhi's youngest daughter. I heard she's studying at Blue Tyrant Academy, where Miss Erlong works."
"Then why has she come looking for Liu Erlong?"
Yu Yuanzhen raised an eyebrow.
Hadn't Liu Erlong already returned to Blue Tyrant Academy?
Why would Ning Fengzhi's daughter come all the way to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan to look for her?
And what could be so important?
"Let her in."
Yu Yuanzhen said.
Then he turned and entered his residence.
Inside the reception hall.
Yu Yuanzhen forced a smile and asked kindly,
"Miss Rongrong."
"What was this very important matter you mentioned outside?"
"Who are you?"
Ning Rongrong was very wary.
"Where's Dean Liu Erlong?"
"Liu Erlong is my niece. I'm Yu Yuanzhen, the leader of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Whatever it is, telling me directly will be just the same."
Yu Yuanzhen spoke again.
"You're Yu Yuanzhen?"
Ning Rongrong spoke in surprise.
"Miss Rongrong, surely you don't think anyone would dare impersonate the Clan Leader here in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan?"
Yu Yuanzhen continued,
"Liu Erlong is away from the clan on some business. Just tell me directly."
"There's no need."
But unexpectedly, Ning Rongrong hurriedly said,
"You're the one I came to find!"
"You absolutely must not take anyone to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to return the betrothal gifts."
Yu Yuanzhen's expression abruptly changed!!!
P.S.:
Coming right up is the scene where Ning Xuan succeeds as Sect Master and drives out that ungrateful wolf, Ning Rongrong.
Rest assured and keep reading!
This absolutely will not::: be abandoned!
