Chapter 28 Ning Fengzhi's Astonishment, Is He Really Eighteen Years Old?_1

Outside Shrek Academy.

Qin Xiao and others from Shrek had also noticed Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo.

"Grandpa Sword!"

"Daddy!"

In the crowd, Ning Rongrong exclaimed with delight.

Could these two be Sword Douluo and the Sect Master Ning Fengzhi of the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect?

In an instant, everyone thought of the identities of these two men.

"Teacher Zhao, may I go over there for a moment?"

Ning Rongrong hadn't forgotten to ask for permission from Zhao Wuji.

"Go ahead."

Zhao Wuji nodded, then he said to the others behind him, "Since we've already arrived at the academy, go do whatever you need to do. We have a day off today, and classes will resume normally tomorrow."

Having said that, he turned and was the first to return to the academy.

Ning Rongrong arrived in front of Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo like a swallow returning to its nest, and started chattering away.

Then Qin Xiao also withdrew his gaze, intending to return to his own dwelling.

But just then, a voice came from behind him:

"Your Highness."

Qin Xiao turned around, somewhat surprised, because it was Zhu Zhuqing who had called him.

It should be noted that this petite, busty ice beauty wasn't as clingy as Ning Rongrong but had always kept her distance from him.

"Is there something you need?"

He was curious as to why Zhu Zhuqing had called him.

"Could you come with me for a moment?"

Zhu Zhuqing asked with a troubled expression.

Qin Xiao nodded, aware that this wasn't the right place for a conversation due to the crowds.

Before long, he and Zhu Zhuqing had disappeared from everyone's sight.

"Creak."

Witnessing their departure, Dai Mubai unconsciously clenched his fist.

This scene, however, did not escape the notice of his 'good brothers'.

"Boss Dai, I know you've got a lot of thoughts about Zhu Zhuqing, but I'd advise you to let it go,"

Ma Hongjun said, patting Dai Mubai's shoulder.

"Fatty, you talk a lot of nonsense all day, but this sentence is well said. Give it up, Boss. The world is full of beautiful grass..."

Oscar also felt the sentiment deeply.

He believed his unrequited love for Ning Rongrong was similar to Dai Mubai's for Zhu Zhuqing...

As someone who'd been through it, he thought he should give some advice.

However.

The more he tried to advise, the angrier Dai Mubai became.

But could his situation be the same as Oscar's?

Oscar had an unrequited love, whereas Zhu Zhuqing was his fiancée...

But now she was going off on a date with someone else...

"Let's go, Boss. We've been out for so long, let's go find a place to relax,"

"My treat, you splash the cash!"

Ma Hongjun said as he pulled Dai Mubai towards Soto City.

Oscar glanced at Ning Rongrong then gritted his teeth, "Count me in."

...

On the other hand, Ning Fengzhi joked, "Rongrong, it seems Grandpa Sword is more important to you than your own father."

"That's not true..."

"Then why did you call for Grandpa Sword first, rather than Daddy?"

"Grandpa Sword, look, my Daddy is even quibbling now..." Ning Rongrong couldn't answer the question and sought help from Sword Douluo.

Sure enough.

Her thinking was correct. Sword Douluo said, "Sect Master, you're being petty. It's just a title, who is called first or last, I don't think it matters."

Ning Fengzhi was speechless. If she had called me Daddy first, I would have said the same.

Unfortunately, the old and the young in front of him didn't care about his feelings at all.

"Lost weight."

Sword Douluo said with a touch of distress, before extending his hand to stroke the top of Ning Rongrong's head:

"But you've also grown taller..."

Ning Rongrong giggled, "How long has it been since you last saw me, Grandpa Sword? Of course, I've grown taller. I feel like your beard has grown longer since the last time I saw you too."

"Haha." Sword Douluo shook his head and laughed, "You, you're still that little smart aleck, nothing has changed."

Ning Rongrong smiled again, curiously asking, "Grandpa Sword, Dad, you're definitely not here just to see me, right?"

Ah, this...

Caught by his daughter, Ning Fengzhi still felt somewhat embarrassed.

He tried to change the subject, "If I am not mistaken, you must have gone soul hunting, right? Where did you go? Did anything interesting happen?"

"Of course!"

It must be said, Ning Fengzhi was quite effective at changing the topic.

Ning Rongrong nodded excitedly, "Of course, there is. You may not believe it, but during our trip, we even encountered a Titan Ape that was a hundred-thousand-year soul beast! It was so huge, so fierce!"

"What! A hundred-thousand-year soul beast!"

After hearing Ning Rongrong's words, Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo almost exclaimed in unison, this was truly astonishing!

"But even an ordinary Title Douluo is no match for a hundred-thousand-year soul beast, let alone a Titan Ape of that age. Facing such a mighty Soul Beast King, even a Title Douluo of the Ninety-Fifth Rank would not dare to confront it lightly, how did you manage to turn danger into safety?"

Ning Fengzhi soon began to doubt the veracity of the tale.

"Hehe, Dad, that's an easy question to answer."

Ning Rongrong giggled, mysteriously saying, "Because we have a Title Douluo powerhouse in our team."

However, upon hearing Ning Rongrong's words, Sword Douluo and Ning Fengzhi were once again taken aback.

"Shrek Academy has a Title Douluo powerhouse?"

After the surprise, Ning Fengzhi said with a wry smile, "You little witch, really think you can fool your dad? I've investigated before; Headmaster Flander is merely a Soul Sage of level 78, and Zhao Wuji is even less than Flander; how could there possibly be a Title Douluo?"

"The tall and robust chap we just met must be Immovable King Zhao Wuji, the second-strongest in your Shrek Academy."

Tsk...

On hearing this, Ning Rongrong waved her hand dismissively, "Dad, that's some outdated news. I really didn't deceive you."

"Do you still remember the most handsome boy in our team just now?"

The most handsome?

Ning Fengzhi shook his head; he really hadn't paid attention to that.

"Rongrong, are you talking about the boy at the very back of the team?"

However, the reaction from Sword Douluo was the opposite of Ning Fengzhi's; subconsciously, the image of Qin Xiao came to mind!

It couldn't be him, could it?

Before, he had felt that the boy was strange, emitting a sense of danger.

But as for how strong he actually was, before he could test him, Ning Rongrong had arrived...

"Yes, it's him!"

Ning Rongrong's eyes shone brightly, "He's Thunder Emperor Douluo Qin Xiao. Teacher Zhao secretly told us that His Majesty the Thunder Emperor is a Title Douluo of the Ninety-Second Level.

We managed to escape from the Titan Ape because of His Highness's intervention. Everyone even unanimously believes that the Soul Beast King has been slain by His Majesty the Thunder Emperor!"

"Rongrong, is this true?"

Seeing Ning Rongrong explain so convincingly, Ning Fengzhi couldn't help but believe her somewhat, "But he doesn't look that old, how could he be a Title Douluo?"

And Ning Fengzhi's words also voiced Sword Douluo's inner thoughts.

"I know about this."

Ning Rongrong puffed out her chest, proudly saying, "His Majesty the Thunder Emperor is only eighteen years old."

"How much?"

"Eighteen years old?"

Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo exchanged glances, shaking their heads together.

"Rongrong, you're being too outrageous; even exaggerations have their limits."

Ning Fengzhi frowned and said firmly, "There has never been an eighteen-year-old Title Douluo in the history of Soul Land! The youngest Title Douluo on Soul Land was also over forty years old."

If you said that the boy was an old monster who had mastered the art of eternal youth and was actually in his fifties or sixties, they might reluctantly accept it.

But if you insist he's eighteen, who would believe that?

"There is no falsehood in this."

"The day we enrolled, His Majesty the Thunder Emperor personally said he was eighteen, and I am convinced of it," Ning Rongrong insisted, her eyes filled with fervor, like a smitten fan girl. "Previously, there was no Thunder Emperor. Had His Majesty the Thunder Emperor been born earlier, there would have been records of an eighteen-year-old Title Douluo on Soul Land already."
