The Spirit Hall Soldiers hesitated visibly upon hearing her claim...
"She couldn't really be the daughter of the Sect Leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, could she? If that's true, we're doomed!"
"Oh, come on, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is one of the upper three families. If she really were the Sect Leader's daughter, she'd definitely have powerful protectors with her at all times, not running around alone!"
"That's right, with her spoiled and willful demeanor, how could she be anything like the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's little princess?"
"Stop guessing, my bet is that she's just a little scammer. Let's get rid of her quickly!!"
Ning Rongrong's eyes widened, seemingly unable to accept their attitude...
In a somewhat frantic manner, she exclaimed, "You... you guys, you dare to insult me, I'll have Sword Grandpa and Bone Grandpa come to kill you all!!"
Upon the mention of the word "kill", the expressions of the Spirit Hall Soldiers changed again...
Their gazes toward her became much colder...
Someone who so casually throws around the word "kill" could definitely not be the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!!
The lead soldier immediately gave the order, "Send this little scammer away. It's a disgrace for her to be blocking the entrance to Pope Hall!!"
The two soldiers beside him nodded in understanding and stepped towards Ning Rongrong...
Ning Rongrong instinctively took two steps back, exclaiming in panic, "You... what are you going to do? I warn you, don't touch me, or I'll make sure you have nowhere to bury yourselves!!"
Things like this never happened to her in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!
Even if she beat up other sect disciples, they wouldn't dare to fight back!!
Xu Sheng, who happened to walk out from the main gate, asked in a chilled tone, "What are you doing?"
The soldiers turned to look and upon realizing it was Xu Sheng...
They immediately pointed at Ning Rongrong and explained, "Well... this girl claims she's the daughter of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect Leader and insists on entering Pope Hall, so we had no choice but to do this!"
Xu Sheng was quite taken aback, "Oh?"
Then, he turned his gaze to Ning Rongrong who was not far away!
After carefully looking her over, he confirmed her identity wasn't false!
Although it had been a long time, there were still some traits that could be recognized from the future!
Ning Rongrong, seeing Xu Sheng's arrival, quickly hid behind him and retorted, "You are the scammer, I am indeed the daughter of the Sect Leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!!"
The nearest soldier, struggling to hold back his anger, raged, "You scammer, you still dare to talk back, I'll show you..."
But before he could act, Xu Sheng spoke first, "You might have misunderstood. She's not some scammer but indeed the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!"
As soon as these words came out, the Spirit Hall Soldiers were stunned...
"Ah???"
This capricious and arrogant brat, with not the slightest hint of nobility, was actually the daughter of the Sect Leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!!
They found it hard to believe!
Seeing someone speaking up for herself, Ning Rongrong placed her hands on her hips and said smugly, "How about that, now you know I wasn't lying, right?"
"If you kneel now, I might consider asking Sword Grandpa and Bone Grandpa to let you off!"
The bodies of the Spirit Hall Soldiers started to tremble, they hesitated about what they should do...
If they did as told, not only would they shame Pope Hall, but they could also face severe punishment!
But if they didn't, and Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo came after them, they would surely be doomed!
Xu Sheng pursed his lips, thinking to himself, "Just like the rumors said, she's a little witch indeed!"
However, seeing the reaction of the Spirit Hall Soldiers, Ning Rongrong seemed somewhat dissatisfied and urged again, "Well? Have you made up your minds yet??"
This statement only increased the pressure on the Spirit Hall Soldiers, and they almost knelt down...
At this point, Xu Sheng interrupted, "That should be enough, shouldn't it? They're just making sure no suspicious individuals enter the Pope Hall!"
Thwarted in her intent, Ning Rongrong immediately stepped away from behind Xu Sheng, dissatisfied, she asked, "And you are? Don't think that just because you spoke up for me, I'll listen to... Eh??"
She suddenly rubbed her eyes as if she had seen something incredibly attractive...
Excitedly, she exclaimed, "So... so handsome, is he even more handsome than the Crown Prince of the Tiandou Empire Palace??"
She hadn't looked closely just before, but his appearance turned out to be so striking!
Prettier than any other person her age she knew!
Xu Sheng nodded slightly, "Thank you for the compliment, but do you know the Crown Prince?"
Ning Rongrong straightened her chest proudly, "Of course, my father is the Crown Prince's teacher!!"
"How about that, impressive right?"
Xu Sheng nodded, "Sect Master Ning is indeed impressive to be able to serve as the Crown Prince's teacher!"
It seemed that during the time he was away from the palace, Emperor Xue Ye had invited Ning Fengzhi to be Ren Xue's teacher!
Ning Rongrong blinked her eyes and said again, "Since you find it impressive, how about I give you a chance to join the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect??"
It was just an invitation to join the sect; surely her father wouldn't refuse!
Of course, even if he did refuse, Sword Grandpa and Bone Grandpa would definitely take her side!
Xu Sheng shook his head, denying, "I'm afraid that won't be possible. I've already joined the Martial Soul Hall, and besides, I doubt my teacher would agree."
Ning Rongrong still confidently responded, "Your teacher, who is your teacher? I'll have my father talk to him, I guarantee there won't be any problems!"
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was one of the upper three families; getting one person from the Martial Soul Hall wouldn't be difficult!
Xu Sheng couldn't help but smile, "My teacher is His Holiness the Pope. If Sect Master Ning can manage that, then I might consider it!"
Instantly, Ning Rongrong's expression stiffened...
Awkwardly she said, "Oh... I see, that does seem a bit difficult!"
If it had been someone else's disciple, there might be room for negotiation, but His Holiness the Pope was likely out of the question!
Xu Sheng didn't dwell on it and changed the subject, "Rongrong, weren't you trying to get into the Pope Hall? I'll take you in; let's not make it hard for these Spirit Hall Soldiers, how about that?"
Ning Rongrong was a bit slow to catch on to the form of address, contemplating, she said, "Hmm... alright, since you're good-looking, I'll give you this face!"
After a pause, she glared fiercely at the Spirit Hall Soldiers, "But you all better remember this, I am Ning Rongrong, the daughter of the Sect Leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!"
"If there's a next time, no one's pleas will work!"
The soldiers, relieved, quickly agreed, "Yes, yes, we'll definitely remember!"
Ning Rongrong "hmpf"ed once, finally satisfied, and then she entered the Pope Hall with Xu Sheng...
After they left, the Spirit Hall Soldiers wore bitter expressions, unspeakable grievances filling their hearts...
"Last time it was Xu Sheng, this time Ning Rongrong, ah, it's tough, but everyone be sure to remember now!"
"Yeah, yeah, I don't want to experience that kind of heart-pounding fear ever again!"
"It's a good thing that Xu Sheng spoke up for us; otherwise, we would have really had to kneel. How embarrassing would that have been!!!"
