"These words of yours," Ning Fengzhi couldn't help but express his suspicions, "Uncle Sword, Uncle Bone, you all couldn't have prepared your story in advance, could you?"
Such words, anyone could tell they were premeditated!
Chen Xin, whose trickery was exposed, replied coolly and calmly, "How... How could that be? We're not that kind of people, right, Old Bonehead?"
Gu Rong affirmed, "That's right! We only care about Ning Rongrong's physical and mental health, that's why we agreed to let her leave the sect!"
"If you're looking for someone to blame... blame the disciples of the sect, for not making friends with Ning Rongrong!"
Feng Zhi rolled his eyes helplessly, "With Rongrong's temperament, it would be odd if she had any friends!"
The disciples of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect had nothing but complaints about her, they'd rather hide than face her!
After a pause, he added, "On the other hand, Qing He just arrived at the sect and has already made quite a few friends, displaying no arrogance despite being the Crown Prince!"
"Just on that alone, Rongrong pales in comparison!"
Chen Xin and Gu Rong's expressions changed dramatically, and even their tone of voice cooled somewhat…
"Feng Zhi, we don't object to you admiring Xue Qinghe, but if you use that as a pretext to belittle Ning Rongrong, don't blame us for not giving you face!!"
"That's right, no matter how outstanding Xue Qinghe is, he's not worth a hair on Ning Rongrong in our eyes!"
Having spoken, they couldn't help releasing a massive pressure, causing the space to feel much more oppressive…
Sweat broke out on Ning Fengzhi's forehead as he hurriedly explained, "Uncle Sword, Uncle Bone, don't get angry, I was just expressing my thoughts, and besides, Ning Rongrong is my own daughter, how could I belittle her?"
These two were still as protective as ever!
Facing their own Sect Master, they would not hesitate to turn against him!
Seeing Feng Zhi relent, Chen Xin "hmphed" coldly, "That's better. Anyone who dares to say a word against Ning Rongrong will have to answer to me, Chen Xin. Alright, Old Bonehead, it's been a while since we sparred, shall we practice a bit?"
Gu Rong puffed out his chest eagerly, "Practice it is then, who's afraid of whom, let's go!!"
As soon as they'd spoken, they left together…
Watching the two disappear, Ning Fengzhi's brow furrowed slightly, "I always feel that something isn't quite right; with Uncle Sword and Uncle Bone's fiery tempers, if they were really angry, wouldn't they have just started fighting?"
"Oh well, let's just consider it a trial for Ning Rongrong!"
What Ning Fengzhi didn't know was that after leaving, Chen Xin and Gu Rong were so nervous they were patting their chests...
Taking a deep breath, Chen Xin said, "We've managed to bluff our way past Feng Zhi for now, but we might have been a bit too reckless this time. Even with powerful protectors, Ning Rongrong is still the Princess of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, and there could still be accidents!"
Gu Rong obviously agreed, nodding, "Mmm, but what's done is done; we can't exactly force Ning Rongrong to return now, can we?"
"Let's make an exception this time. Next time, we can't go soft no matter what!"
Chen Xin rubbed his ears, "That line sounds awfully familiar…"
Gu Rong wrapped an arm around him, urging, "Hey, stop thinking about that; let's go do what we just talked about and have a practice session!"
He couldn't accept being dominated by Chen Xin in every sparring session!
…
Martial Soul City!
Ning Rongrong looked around with a naive curiosity, "So this is Martial Soul City? It's my first time here!"
"It doesn't seem all that special, does it?"
The protector beside her, upon hearing this remark, hastily pulled her to one side...
Speaking gravely, "Ning Rongrong, stop fooling around. Martial Soul City is unlike any other place; it's filled with immense dangers, let's hurry back to the sect."
The moment they stepped into Martial Soul City, he felt a formidable spiritual power casting its gaze upon them!
Without a doubt, he knew this spiritual power stemmed from the Pope Hall!!
It could even be one of the Chrysanthemum Douluo or Ghost Douluo!!
Ning Rongrong pouted and said, "Danger? I don't feel it at all. Besides, I come from the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect. If the Martial Soul Hall dares to do anything to me, Sword Grandpa and Bone Grandpa won't let them off!"
Seeing this, the man said again, "Rongrong, be obedient, it's really dangerous here. If anything happens, I won't be able to protect you!"
He was only a Soul Emperor, and there were far too many Soul Masters stronger than him in the Martial Soul City!
If they really made a move on Ning Rongrong, he simply wouldn't be able to stop them!!
Upon hearing this, Ning Rongrong's face filled with displeasure, "If you're scared, then go back to the sect yourself, don't follow me!!"
Having said that, she ignored him and ran straight towards the central area of the Martial Soul City…
The man knew he couldn't persuade her and could only sigh, wanting to catch up...
But the next second, he sensed something was amiss...
Before he knew it, several Spirit Hall Executives had appeared beside him!
If he paid close attention, he would realize that every single one of them was stronger than himself!!
In an instant, cold sweat broke out on his forehead…
The leading executive looked at him and said in a chilly tone, "Your face seems very unfamiliar. Tell us, where do you come from, and what is your purpose here?"
They would check every strong Soul Master entering Martial Soul City one by one!!
The man took a deep breath and said with a fist and palm salute, "Sirs, I come from the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect, and I am here in Martial Soul City just for a visit!"
However, naturally, the Spirit Hall Executives wouldn't just take his word for it and asked again, "Do you have any proof of your identity?"
The man had anticipated this situation and immediately took out a Sect Command Token, "This is the token of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!"
Upon seeing this item, the executives looked at each other and nodded...
Then their attitude changed completely, and smilingly they said, "Since you are a distinguished guest from the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect, we apologize for the disturbance. All of this is for the safety within Martial Soul City!!"
"But please be careful in Martial Soul City!"
The man couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, clasping his fist and saying, "Thank you for the reminder, I will be careful!"
Then he glanced around, trying hard to find Ning Rongrong's figure...
But he was disappointed!
Even in just this short while, she had already walked beyond the range of his spiritual power perception!!
"Damn it!! Where did Rongrong go?!"
…
Outside the Pope Hall!
The Spirit Hall Soldiers guarding the gate looked at the petite figure before them and said coldly, "This is the Pope Hall! Unauthorized persons are not allowed inside!"
Ning Rongrong's eyes lit up, exclaiming excitedly, "The Pope Hall?? This is interesting. Stand aside, I want to go in!!"
As soon as these words were spoken, one of the soldiers frowned and said, "Where did this little brat come from? This is not a place for you to be. Leave at once!!"
Another soldier echoed, "That's right, if you keep causing trouble, don't blame us for not being polite!"
Undeterred by the threats, Ning Rongrong said with no fear, "You dare to be fierce to me, a mere doorkeeper? I am the daughter of the Sect Leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, you'd better watch out, or I might just complain to him!!"
