Ning Rongrong Is in Trouble

After confirming that everyone else had arrived, Tang Yuehua entered Moonlight Pavilion to preside over this graduation ceremony.

A group of young men and women dressed in silver entered from both sides. Though there were as many as a hundred of them, they did not create the slightest noise.

Elegant smiles graced every face, and their steps were perfectly harmonious. Every gesture exuded nobility, drawing countless glances.

Just then, a side door of the hall opened, and a young man dressed in white slowly emerged, cradling an exquisite and beautiful harp in his arms.

Though he was only eleven years old, in a world like Douluo Continent where people generally matured early, Mu Chen had finally grown to over 1.7 meters tall.

He had begun to shed the childishness he had when he first arrived here. With sword-like brows, starry eyes, sharply defined features, and a faint smile on his face, his fair skin stood out even more against his understated white clothes.

He possessed the aura of an exiled immortal, yet also carried the elegance of nobility, combining handsomeness, grace, dignity, and an otherworldly bearing.

Though he had merely made an entrance, he instantly became the center of attention for the entire hall.

Xue Qinghe, seated at the very center among the nobles' children, smiled faintly as she looked at Mu Chen. Two years had passed, and that shameless bastard had changed quite a bit. He had become more and more handsome, and his temperament had grown increasingly outstanding. He could barely be said to meet her requirements for a partner.

Still, seeing Mu Chen being watched by so many women made Xue Qinghe somewhat uncomfortable. Her possessiveness was extremely strong. Mu Chen was hers! Mu Chen placed the harp on its stand and sat properly on a low stool. He first smiled at the many guests, lingering for an extra second when his gaze fell upon Xue Qinghe. Their eyes met, and they both smiled faintly. Mu Chen slowly raised his slender hands and began to play softly.

Elegant, pure as jade, crystalline, and clear as morning dew, the notes flowed from the golden harp. The entire hall fell silent as the beautiful music echoed all around.

Moving notes continuously flowed from the harp, the music gently brushing across their cheeks like a breeze. It began soft and melodious, gradually rising into a bleak and sorrowful climax.

It was as though they were soaring through blue skies and white clouds in broad daylight, only to suddenly plunge downward, accompanied by the howling wind as they fell through layer upon layer of clouds toward the mortal world.

The audience did not even dare breathe, afraid of ruining such a wonderful moment. The incomparably beautiful melody moved every listener. They enjoyed it and lost themselves in its beauty, and it even stirred the deepest, most precious feelings buried within their hearts.

After the song ended, the graduation ceremony fell into brief silence. Then, after Xue Qinghe was the first to applaud, countless people followed suit, applauding Mu Chen's performance.

"Wonderful!"

"You can't help but become immersed in the melody. What profound musical mastery!"

"It reminded me of my happiest childhood memories—the sweetness of going out with the person I loved."

Countless praises came from the heart. Mu Chen merely smiled faintly, causing quite a few noble young ladies to scream once more...

"Little Chen, the performance was perfect. Sword Douluo had actually already arrived, but Miss Ning Rongrong suddenly got lost in Heaven Dou City by herself. Sword Douluo went to look for her, so he did not come. The soldiers of Heaven Dou City and Moonlight Pavilion have also sent people to search for her. I believe they will find Miss Ning Rongrong soon," Tang Yuehua said as she came backstage and looked at Mu Chen.

"Rongrong is missing? She won't be in danger, will she?" Mu Chen asked anxiously.

"Normally, something like this would not happen in Heaven Dou City, but if she encountered those scum..."

Tang Yuehua spoke uncertainly. Those bastards had better keep their eyes open. The other party was the young miss of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. If anything happened to her, not a single one of them would get away.

"Those scum? This is Rongrong's first time entering Heaven Dou City. Others should not recognize her. If she had bad luck and truly ran into some nobles looking to get themselves killed, then..."

At that thought, Mu Chen clenched his fists, unable to suppress the killing intent pouring from him. If anything really happened to Rongrong, he would grind those people's bones to dust and scatter their ashes!

"Teacher Tang, where are the scum you mentioned?" Mu Chen asked Tang Yuehua.

The more one feared something, the more likely it was to happen.

"Th-this... I don't know either. Their whereabouts in Heaven Dou City are uncertain, and they have many residences. Little Chen, don't act recklessly. There is still no definite news about Miss Ning Rongrong. If this causes a misunderstanding, then..." Tang Yuehua said nervously as she looked at Mu Chen.

"Thank you." Mu Chen clenched his fists, then went to find Xue Qinghe.

"Little Chen, what is it? You look extremely angry and anxious."

Xue Qinghe was startled when she saw Mu Chen's appearance. So little time had passed, yet his expression had changed so drastically? Mu Chen told Xue Qinghe about Ning Rongrong, and she quickly understood. "So you think those so-called scum nobles did this?"

"I can't be certain, but my instincts tell me that's what happened. It's Rongrong's first time in Heaven Dou City. No one knows her identity," Mu Chen said.

"Fine. Then I'll send my people to look for Ning Rongrong as well," Xue Qinghe said after hearing this.

There was no time to worry about anything else. Ning Rongrong was Little Chen's childhood sweetheart, and her identity was extremely sensitive. Those bastards had better not really do anything stupid.

"Ding!

System notification: Ning Rongrong is currently facing grave danger. Please proceed to rescue her.

System notification: Ning Rongrong's current location has been transmitted to the host's mind."

The system's notification rang in Mu Chen's mind, making him even more anxious. The killing intent in his heart became impossible to suppress.

"Xue'er, Rongrong really is in trouble. I know where she is! Help me—no, you can't expose yourself. Send someone to this place."

Mu Chen spoke urgently. After telling Xue Qinghe Ning Rongrong's current location, he hurried outside.

Xue Qinghe was also startled. Without thinking too much, she immediately informed Tang Yuehua and the others, but demanded secrecy. This matter involved far too much.

Then Xue Qinghe went out directly and followed Mu Chen.

Mu Chen was worried about Ning Rongrong, while Xue Qinghe was worried about Mu Chen's safety. After all, Mu Chen was only a level-thirty quasi-Soul Elder.

Snake Lance and Porcupine Douluo, who had been secretly protecting Xue Qinghe outside Moonlight Pavilion, had no choice but to follow their young mistress.
