Chapter 263

"..."

Lu Cheng was silent for a moment, but he understood Ning Fengzhi's good intentions. After all, the girl seemed normal now, which meant she had obviously been through the trials of villains (Shrek Seven Devils, Yu Xiaogang, and Flender).

If it were a year or so ago, he would have been a complete devil.

When this girl celebrated her birthday, she hadn't yet experienced the Asura God's affairs, and Ning Fengzhi had invited her, but she was busy at the time and declined due to some trivial matters.

But complaints aside...

Shrek Academy is indeed quite abstract, basically full of villains: Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, the Oscar trio who indulge in drinking, gambling, and whoring; Tang San, the pure and innocent wife-protecting fanatic; Flender, who is so stingy that he can't even provide the most basic infrastructure of the academy, yet treats the enrolled disciples like pigs to be slaughtered; and Yu Xiaogang, who pretends to be Grandmaster and even his own acting almost convinced himself.

It's as if everyone is trying to collect Seven Deadly Sins.

Greed, gluttony, lust, sloth, wrath, envy, pride...

"Are you planning to win the championship with them?" Lu Cheng asked slowly after a long silence.

Sure enough, there's hope!!!

Ning Rongrong was overjoyed. Clearly, her father had a good relationship with this person, and she had made the right bet. Although this person was extremely dissatisfied with the Shrek Academy, he had no prejudice against her or the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

However, abandoning Shrek Academy at this moment would be too heartless and ungrateful.

Ning Rongrong pursed her red lips and said softly, "My father always wanted me to go to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, but I ran away from home to spite my family and ended up entering Shrek Academy by accident."

"Uncle Lu, please calm down. Dai Mubai... he really is an arrogant jerk, ignorant of hierarchy and order. I can't get along with him. He even threatened to kill me earlier. If it weren't for my classmate's help, I'm afraid I would have died at his hands."

Ning Rongrong feigned distress, touching her fair and slender neck, which was smooth and flawless, but her pretty face showed a look of horror.

"Dai Mubai is Flender's personal disciple, hence his extreme favoritism. He has never intervened to mediate the conflict. And Yu Xiaogang, he truly is unworthy of being a teacher; all he did was make us do weight training and then send me to observe ants moving house..."

"Although Shrek is terrible, I've made friends there, like Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing. The reason I stay at Shrek is because of them."

Ning Rongrong finished speaking quickly in one breath, and then observed Lu Cheng's expression.

These words were mostly true, spoken with sincerity. In front of such a being, she dared not play any tricks; sincerity was the most important thing. Once her ulterior motives were discovered, her goodwill would inevitably plummet.

"A disciple of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, going to that bird academy to suffer like this? Ning Fengzhi must have lost his mind to allow this. Hmph, I suppose those two old guys, Sword and Bone, don't know that you were threatened. If they did, I don't believe those guys would still be standing in front of me." Dugu Bo raised an eyebrow and said in a calm tone.

Ning Rongrong could only stick out her tongue and pretend to be stupid.

There was no other way; the two opponents were also top-tier experts on the continent, and these two in front of him were figures who could shake the entire continent with a stomp of their feet, which was why they could so freely mock his father.

If it were an ordinary person, she would definitely be furious.

But who can blame him when it's Dugu Bo who's speaking?

He might even be acquainted with his father, and if he teased him to his face, his father would just laugh it off.

"Old Poison, you've gotten too cocky..." Lu Cheng glanced at Dugu Bo strangely. It seemed that after his Martial Soul Evolution, his cultivation level had skyrocketed, and his confidence had also increased dramatically.

"This is nothing," Dugu Bo chuckled. "I just went to seek guidance from that old swordsman a few days ago."

Back then, Lu Cheng was unparalleled in the world, with no one able to rival him.

With his Golden Tyrant Spear, he deterred even the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast of the Star Dou Great Forest from showing their faces. Who didn't know that Dugu Bo and Lu Cheng were on good terms? Wouldn't they give him some face when they met? That was when he was truly arrogant.

After Lu Cheng disappeared for ten years, he gradually kept a low profile, fearing that he would be targeted by his former enemies.

In fact, if it weren't for the recent breakthrough in its cultivation, it would have stayed in its old nest all along.

Lu Cheng shook his head, looked at Ning Rongrong, and knew that what she said was true, "Since your father has made his decision, I can't interfere. But Shrek Academy is a disgrace to geniuses. I grew up, became famous, and eventually took a position at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, training batch after batch of disciples. I have a small reputation. If you're willing, you can come here anytime..."

"Just find him."

He then pointed to Meng Shenji.

The latter's eyes flickered, and she quickly smiled, "Miss Ning, we've met before..."

"Yes! Rongrong thanks Uncle Lu and Uncle Dugu!" Ning Rongrong was filled with excitement. She bowed gracefully to the two of them, then took her leave and ran towards the door.

They followed in the direction the Shrek group had taken.

I've just arrived in Heaven Dou City, and I need to write a letter to my father to explain what happened today and let the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect make preparations as soon as possible.

"How about coming over for a drink?" Dugu Bo said with a smile. "The news of your return to the continent will probably be all over the place by tomorrow. Back then, His Majesty the Dragon God was awe-inspiring and revered by thousands."

"Then let's have a drink. There are still many old friends from back then that I haven't seen again..." Lu Cheng said with a sigh.

"What's this?" Dugu Bo glanced at the silver-haired beauty beside Lu Cheng and asked with some surprise.

"Gu Yuena." The silver-haired woman spoke in a cool tone, yet with a hint of familiarity, and revealed a smile.

"Gu Yue... Na?!" Dugu Bo was stunned. He knew the two girls who followed Lu Cheng back then, but now it seemed they were...

Something must have happened to bring it to this point.

So he coughed lightly twice as a greeting, without saying much. Glancing at his granddaughter, who was full of curiosity not far away, he slapped his forehead, pulled Lu Cheng aside, and said with a grin, "My granddaughter, how should I put it? This girl is Heaven Dou Royal Academy."

"Not bad talent, did you feed her the Jade Phosphorus Seven-Absolute Flower?" Lu Cheng glanced at Dugu Yan, slightly surprised.

"Of course, she's far more accomplished than I am," Dugu Bo said with an air of pride.

"At the age of nineteen, you're already a Soul King... You have the same flair I had back then," Lu Cheng said with a gentle smile.

"Tsk tsk, those words deserve to be framed. For Lu Cheng to praise her like that, this girl has truly made something of herself." Dugu Bo clicked his tongue in amazement. After all, this young man was known for his incorruptibility back then, and apart from Gu Yue and Na'er by his side, almost no one else could catch his eye...

"Your partner is Yu Tianheng?" Lu Cheng suddenly asked, as if he had just thought of something.

"Uncle Lu, no..." Dugu Yan was somewhat taken aback, wondering why this suddenly appearing top expert would ask about this matter. She shook her head and said strangely, "I have heard of Yu Tianheng. He is a disciple of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, but he is from the Thunder Academy. He fought against us before."
