Chapter 41 Return_1

Xu Sheng's face darkened, "So it seems, Sect Master Ning said so much just to lead up to this moment."

However, he couldn't easily agree. Sect Master Ning was old and crafty, proposing to betroth Ning Rongrong to him clearly had an ulterior motive of alliance.

In general, it was all about prioritizing the future of the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect.

Even if Xu Sheng didn't reject Ning Rongrong in his heart, even if he actually quite liked her, he was not someone to be used for transactions by Sect Master Ning.

Xu Sheng tactfully refused Sect Master Ning's proposition, "Sect Master Ning, you are overthinking it. Although I do have a good impression of Rongrong, we have not yet reached the stage of talking about marriage."

Sect Master Ning, upon receiving Xu Sheng's response, didn't show any unexpected expression. If Xu Sheng had really agreed so readily, then he would have been full of doubt about what kind of person Xu Sheng really was...

Could he possibly be a lecher...

Looking at it this way, Xu Sheng had made quite an impression in the depths of Sect Master Ning's heart...

Sect Master Ning smiled eruditely, his tone neither salty nor bland, "You're right, that was indeed careless of me to consider. However, if possible, I do hope we can become family."

Xu Sheng slowly stood up, smiling, "Sect Master Ning, I appreciate your sentiments but whether Rongrong and I can come together still depends on fate. After all, nothing is impossible."

Sect Master Ning nodded slightly, "But before that, let me heal your wounds first."

After standing up, he placed the wand in the center and then, a Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda even more ethereal than Ning Rongrong's slowly appeared in his palm...

The elusive spiritual energy moved unstoppably on the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda, reflecting dazzling silver light from time to time...

After which, seven multicolored Soul Rings rose slowly beneath his feet...

Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, indeed the optimal Soul Ring configuration...

However, what was most peculiar was that Sect Master Ning's seventh Soul Ring was starkly different from the other two Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Rings, already deep as ink in color, clearly close to the standard of a hundred-thousand-year soul ring!

It was nearly identical to the ninth soul ring of Xu Sheng's Nine-Hearted Begonia...

Out of his mouth came seven emotionless words, "Seven Treasures Glazed, Increase the Sixth!"

As his words ended, his sixth soul ring suddenly lit up, the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda radiated a blinding white light even more magnificent than before, and a stream of warmth like a gushing spring covered Xu Sheng from above...

Xu Sheng stared at his injured skin, only to see under the warm radiance, those torn muscles began to bud anew...

In merely a few seconds, all the wounds on his body healed of their own accord...

"Is this the terrifying healing power of Sect Master Ning's Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda? Truly worthy of being the Continent's number one support class Martial Soul!"

Even if Sect Master Ning may never break through to the ranks of a Soul Douluo in his lifetime, it was believed that no one would underestimate him!

Xu Sheng glanced at Sect Master Ning and said very politely, "Thank you, Sect Master Ning, the supportive ability of the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda is indeed as legendary as they say."

If Sect Master Ning could reach the level of a Titled Douluo, just how terrifying would he be?

Sect Master Ning nodded slightly, humorously teasing, "Go on then, Rongrong is probably still waiting outside for you. If you're any later, she might suspect I've done something to you."

"Sect Master Ning, then I will take my leave," he said, casually gesturing to Sect Master Ning before turning and walking towards the exit of the hall...

Watching Xu Sheng's departing figure, Sect Master Ning rested his chin on his hand and murmured softly, "Xu Sheng, I wonder what changes you will bring to this continent? It's really quite exciting to think about."

...

Upon seeing Xu Sheng coming out, Ning Rongrong hurried over, carefully examining Xu Sheng all over; seeing him unharmed, she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart...

After all, she still somewhat feared that Gu Rong and Chen Xin would deliberately target Xu Sheng...

She blinked her bright, watery eyes, "Xu Sheng, did my father and the others do anything to you?"

"Rongrong, how should I answer your question? We just talked about some trivial matters," Xu Sheng's mouth twitched as he spoke affectionately.

Did he look that easy to bully?

Upon hearing this, a few threads of disappointment flickered across Ning Rongrong's face, and she murmured with her head down, "Trivial matters? That means... Xu Sheng, you didn't give my father..."

It seems she had been overthinking it all along...

Xu Sheng naturally saw the disappointment on Ning Rongrong's face, and once again familiarly ruffled her hair, leaning close to her ear, his warm breath carrying his slowly uttered words, "Rongrong, it's good that I could come to the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect this time, but I need to leave soon."

The sensitive Ning Rongrong suddenly pulled away, her hot cheeks as if confessing her feelings just now...

Ning Rongrong's eyes dimmed and she lowered her head in dejection, biting her thin lips while staring intently at Xu Sheng, wanting him to give her an answer.

"Xu... Xu Sheng, will we... have the chance to see each other again?"

She was afraid, afraid that after Xu Sheng left the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect today, they might never meet again...

"Of course, we will. You must believe in the magic of fate. Now, I'd better leave," Xu Sheng said as he turned his back jauntily and waved his hand...

But after turning around, he somewhat regretted it and stiffly turned back to face Ning Rongrong's puzzled gaze. Embarrassed, he touched his nose, "Rongrong, which way is out of the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect? I seem to be lost."

This was the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect, a place he'd never visited before, depending only on himself...

He would probably spend the whole day wandering in the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect and still not find the right way out.

"Pfft," Ning Rongrong suddenly covered her mouth and laughed, all previous dejection swept away, playfully and dashing she said, "Xu Sheng, I didn't expect you to have such a humorous side. Come on, I'll take you out..."

Xu Sheng "..."

It seemed that he would have to solve this problem of getting lost in the future, or else... hiss...

...

Having returned to the Soul Hall Academy, Xu Sheng pushed open the door and entered the classroom, casually glancing at Qi Ruo who was writing with her back to him and spoke up, "Instructor Qi Ruo."

Xu Sheng's voice broke the silence in the classroom, and Evil Moon's trio's gazes all shifted towards him...

Flame snickered in exasperation, "Xu Sheng actually arrived several 'hours' late, I'm afraid Instructor Qi Ruo is going to chew him out."

Beside him, Evil Moon's eyes lifted with an unmerciful tone, "Don't even think about it, Xu Sheng... He's not like you or me."

And Hulena's beautiful eyes were fixated on Xu Sheng out of curiosity...

Hearing the voice, Qi Ruo silently stopped her actions, turned to look at Xu Sheng by the door, and prepared to scold him as usual, but she swallowed her words mid-sentence...

It was fine to be strict with the other three, but Xu Sheng was a unique case.

He's someone they couldn't afford to offend, absolutely not...

After all, he was a bona fide Titled Douluo who could kill a Soul Sage like her without any effort, right?

So, feigning nonchalance, she coughed, "Oh, it's Xu Sheng. Please, take a seat first."

Only after Xu Sheng had settled did Qi Ruo resume the previous subject, loudly saying, "We were just discussing the Martial Soul Fusion Skill..."
