Jun Yi put the great book back in its place and then sighed, "So it turns out that not only do I, a transmigrator, not agree with Yu Xiaogang's theories, but even the original inhabitants of the Douluo Continent don't agree with them. Laughs, Yu Xiaogang's theories can only fool people who don't know much about theoretical knowledge, like Buddha."
"Any knowledgeable Soul Master would scoff at him. No wonder Yu Xiaogang lived in that tiny Nuoding Academy before meeting Buddha."
Jun Yi wanted the teachers from the Spirit Hall Academy to evaluate Yu Xiaogang's theories because he wanted to see how they viewed Yu Xiaogang. It was also a bit of a mischievous quirk of Jun Yi's. Afterward, he selected some serious books to study them carefully.
Just as Jun Yi was about to return to his seat with two thick books to read them carefully, he saw a familiar figure appear at the library entrance. She was looking around as if searching for something, and everyone else bowed and greeted her when they saw her.
"It looks like Hu Liena is looking for someone. Could it be Rongrong?" Just then, Hu Liena's gaze met his. Then, Hu Liena waved to Jun Yi and walked towards him.
"So you really came to see Rongrong?"
Jun Yi waved in response, then he and Hu Liena went to the seats where Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing were. He then whispered, " Rongrong, come out with me for a moment, I have something urgent to tell you."
"Okay." Seeing that Hu Liena did look a little anxious, Ning Rongrong put down her book and went with Zhu Zhuqing and Jun Yi to another area of the library.
Hu Liena looked at Ning Rongrong with a Sisi of pity, then said, "Junior Rongrong, there's something I need to tell you. Your father already knows you've joined the Spirit Hall Academy."
"What? So fast? Did someone snitch on us?" Ning Rongrong then turned to Jun Yi, a suspicious look on her face, and said, " Jun Yi, did you snitch on me to my dad?"
Jun Yi shrugged and spread his hands helplessly, saying, "I've been with you and Zhu Zhuqing all day. How could I have had time to tell on you? Use your brain."
"Then... how did Dad know?" Ning Rongrong asked, puzzled.
"It was a notice issued by the academy. Whenever a new academy joins Spirit Hall Academy, they send a letter to the parents to let them know that everything is alright. So I guess it was sent by the admissions office!" Hu Liena thought for a moment and said slowly. She did not tell Ning Rongrong about Bibi Dong's letter to Ning Fengzhi, but instead made up a lie.
"I see. But it's alright, my dad only knows this much. I'm far away in Spirit City now, so he can't punish me," Ning Rongrong said mischievously, seemingly unafraid at all.
Upon hearing this, a Sisi pity flashed in Hu Liena's eyes, and then she said to Ning Rongrong, " Sect Master Ning has arrived in Spirit City and is currently a guest at the Papal Palace, discussing your enrollment with the Pope. He specifically asked me to come and find you, and to ask you to go to the Papal Palace to see him."
Upon hearing this, Ning Rongrong's face turned deathly pale, then her pupils dilated in shock as she exclaimed, "Oh no! My dad's come to Spirit City? Oh no, I don't want to get scolded!"
Then Ning Rongrong turned to Jun Yi, grabbed his arm, and said, " Jun Yi, how about we commit suicide together with Zhu Zhuqing?"
"My dear lady, is the term 'suicide pact' appropriate here? We should use 'elope' instead."
"Um, Big Brother Jun, you mean running away, right?"
Zhu Zhuqing whispered a reminder, not expecting the two to use such bold and direct language.
"Oh, oh, oh." Ning Rongrong nodded and said, "Then let's run away and stay together forever?"
Zhu Zhuqing: "..."
Hu Liena: "..."
Ning Rongrong's bizarre choice of words left Zhu Zhuqing and Hu Liena speechless.
Jun Yi was standing to the side, thought for a moment and then shook his head, saying, "We'll have to face it sooner or later. You don't want your father to be sad because of this, right?"
"But I'm a little scared," Ning Rongrong replied.
Jun Yi patted Ning Rongrong's head and comforted her, "Don't worry, I'm here with you, everything will be alright."
Listening to their conversation, Hu Liena and Zhu Zhuqing felt increasingly uneasy. It seemed like these two were a young couple being forced apart by their families, facing a life-or-death separation. It was simply too absurd.
"Well, since it's Rongrong's father who's looking for Rongrong, I guess I won't go," Zhu Zhuqing said.
"No, no, no, Zhu Zhuqing, you come with me, that way my father won't be so harsh on me."
Ning Rongrong immediately grabbed Zhu Zhuqing's arm, putting on a pitiful expression.
Seeing this, Zhu Zhuqing smiled wryly and said, "Alright, since that's the case, I'll go with you."
Immediately afterwards, Ning Rongrong and the other two returned to the library and began tidying up their desks. Jun Yi also helped put the books back in their original places. Not long after, the three of them followed Hu Liena Jun Yi the Papal Palace.
Meanwhile, Papal Palace, Ning Fengzhi was exchanging pleasantries with Bibi Dong.
" Your His Holiness the Pope, it's been a long time," Ning Fengzhi said first.
"Yes, I remember the last time we met was 12 years ago," Bibi Dong replied coldly, her attitude clearly not very friendly.
Ning Fengzhi sighed and replied, "I hope my daughter's unauthorized trip to Spirit City didn't cause the Pope any trouble."
"No, although I haven't seen her, I heard from the Holy Maiden that she came to enroll at my Spirit Hall Academy because the environment at her previous academy wasn't good. Sect Master Ning, I'm very curious, what kind of environment could have made her come here?"
Bibi Dong's tone carried a Sisi reproach, as if she were blaming Ning Fengzhi.
"I once said that if you dare to do anything to her daughter, even if it's the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, I will not hesitate to wipe it out."
Bibi Dong's voice contained a powerful pressure that caused the surrounding temperature to drop sharply, as if the air itself were about to freeze.
"Shut up." The Sword Douluo behind Ning Fengzhi also released a monstrous sword intent, directly clashing with Bibi Dong's pressure. The two then dissipated in mid-air at the same time.
Bibi Dong snorted coldly, then looked at Ning Fengzhi and said, " Sect Master Ning, did you come here this time to take Ning Rongrong back?"
Ning Fengzhi showed no anger at Bibi Dong's actions, and replied calmly, "Yes, my daughter is spoiled and a bit unruly. If she stays at the Spirit Hall Academy, she will cause you a lot of trouble."
Do you think I'm the kind of person who hates trouble?...
