Chapter 237: Ning Fengzhi Arrives at the Asura Field

Not mentioning how Qin Jian comforted Ning Rongrong, by the time he walked out of the dormitory area with three people in tow, he saw the grand spectacle of three hulking figures blocking the door.

Tailong's grandfather, Taitan, had arrived as promised.

The white-haired old man, imposing and prestigious, sat firmly at the main entrance like a mountain, his voice resonant and powerful.

"Which of you is Qin Jian? Which one is Tang San?"

The sound waves spread out as if they were tangible, echoing throughout Shrek Academy.

The crowd of onlookers surged over like a tide, and a perfect stage for a show of dominance was set.

"I am Qin Jian."

"I am Tang San."

The two pushed through the crowd and walked out.

"You injured Tailong, and I won't make things difficult for you; as long as you can hold on for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn under the pressure I release, this matter will be settled."

A glint of trickery flashed in Taitan's eyes: "But if you don't hold on, then join my clan and serve my Strength Clan!"

He had long heard about what happened and knew that these two, Qin Jian and Tang San, were absolute young geniuses, so picking a fight was a pretext, while recruiting talent was the real goal.

Unfortunately, his calculations were wrong...

"Who wants to recruit my disciple?"

Before Qin Jian could answer, Jian Douluo arrived in the air with the pagoda-carrying Ning Tianwang—ahem—Ning Fengzhi, just in time to block the path in front of Qin Jian.

"Old Ape, are you the one who wants to take my personal disciple?!"

Sword Qi overflowed from Jian Douluo's body, as if he were ready to devour someone.

"Old Man Sword?! Sect Master Ning?!"

After all, they were figures from the same era, so Taitan was quite familiar with Jian Douluo and Ning Fengzhi.

"Who did you say is your personal disciple?" he asked with a frown.

Jian Douluo patted Qin Jian on the shoulder and said, "Of course, it is him."

"Wow!"

A low gasp of surprise came from the surroundings.

Because Qin Jian never took the initiative to report Jian Douluo's name, the people at the academy naturally didn't know about it. Now that they heard he was actually the personal disciple of a Super Douluo, they were naturally greatly astonished, and many more were so envious their eyes turned red.

Taitan sighed with regret, then pointed at Tang San and said, "Then he surely isn't your personal disciple too, right?"

The pagoda-carrying Ning Fengzhi stepped forward with a smile and said, "Lord Taitan, this little brother Tang San is a friend of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. I hope you can give me a little face and not hold this against him."

A brilliant show of dominance was thus dissolved into nothingness.

Originally, Qin Jian even wanted to help Tang San shout, "The Clear Sky shall never perish, the light shall last forever," just to see the scene of the Taitan family bowing to their Young Master.

Now it seemed he wouldn't get to see it, and he wondered how the Tang Sect, which started with gambling, would get off the ground without the Strength Clan joining...

But that was Tang San's business; Qin Jian had an Asura Field of his own to deal with and was truly too lazy to think about these things.

The Strength Clan naturally wouldn't offend the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect over such a small matter, so under Ning Fengzhi's mediation, Taitan soon left with his son and grandson.

"Rongrong, come here and let Daddy give you a hug."

After the crowd of onlookers dispersed, Ning Fengzhi turned back, saw Ning Rongrong, and habitually opened his arms.

Ning Rongrong rushed over at the call, but suddenly turned and hugged Qin Jian: "Pfft, I want to hug Brother Jian! I don't want to hug stinky Daddy!"

Ning Fengzhi: "..."

"Ning Shu, how did your negotiations with the academy go?" Qin Jian asked, letting go of Ning Rongrong.

Ning Fengzhi said, "Our sect has signed an agreement with Shrek Academy. Shrek Academy will accept our funding, and at the same time, they will suggest that every graduating class prioritize joining the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."

"Furthermore, sect disciples and academy students will conduct exchange training periodically to combine the strengths of both sides, which can also cultivate a sense of belonging among the students."

Qin Jian's eyes lit up; this was already a much deeper cooperation than in the original story. If Shrek Academy were to be targeted by the Spirit Hall in the future, it would be entirely possible for it to become a subordinate academy of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

This could be manipulated later; after all, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect belonged to Ning Rongrong, and Ning Rongrong belonged to him. Compared to Tang San, who started from scratch, his foundation had a much higher starting point.

"Alright, this matter is finished for now..."

Ning Fengzhi patted Qin Jian and Ning Rongrong on the head, then saw Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu, pondered for a moment, and suddenly said, "Qin Jian, Rongrong, you two stay together well. I have thought about it; when you both graduate, I will preside over your wedding."

"!!!"

Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu widened their eyes.

Rings of red blushes bloomed on Ning Rongrong's face.

Qin Jian, however, was left between laughter and tears. He had noticed Ning Fengzhi's gaze; this was clearly meant to stir up trouble for Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu...

I must say, is it really appropriate for you, the dignified Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, to personally step in and help your daughter snatch a man?

After Ning Fengzhi and Jian Douluo both left, Qin Jian was met with the icy glares of Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu.

This time, Ning Rongrong didn't have the nerve to stand at the front; she just leaned against Qin Jian with a look of happiness and attachment, which made Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu burn even more with rage.

"Qin Jian..."

Zhu Zhuqing's hand stroked his chest: "I am your little pet, don't forget to hold me when you get married..."

Tang San, who had been leaning against the gate very skillfully watching the show, suddenly missed his footing and almost fell over.

That "I am your pet" was simply too soul-stirring...

"Zhuqing makes sense. I am your little sister, so don't forget to invite me when the time comes."

After Xiao Wu finished speaking, she flicked her long hair and turned her back to Qin Jian: "You heartless flirt, you haven't combed my hair in a long time, hurry up and comb it for me!"

Qin Jian was helpless and had to comb Xiao Wu's hair under the gaze of countless "lightbulbs."

"Xiao Wu, looking at the volume of your hair, I can tell you don't stay up late..."

After another period of time passed like this, once the remaining few reached the 40th Level, Flender, Grandmaster, and Liu Erlong began organizing the acquisition of the Fourth Soul Ring.

Qin Jian, whose level had reached Level 48, took the lead, and the group headed toward the depths of the Sunset Forest.

The first day was calm and uneventful; that night, they set up two large tents.

On one side were Oscar, Ma Hongjun, and Tang San, and on the other were Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ning Rongrong; Qin Jian, without a hint of modesty, slept right in the middle.

However, the three girls nearly tore the tent apart over who would sleep in the spot next to him...

In the end, the already betrothed Ning Rongrong was suppressed by the combined efforts of Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu, and afterwards, Zhu Zhuqing was thrown back by Xiao Wu with a shoulder throw; to everyone's surprise, it was the usually silly Xiao Wu who emerged victorious.

That night, Qin Jian slept while holding Xiao Wu in his arms.

In truth, he had been restless the whole time...

"Should I release some Love Mist into the tent next door..."

Knowing what Liu Erlong and Grandmaster would be doing, Qin Jian really wanted to provide an assist.

"That is a Love Mist Illusion that even Bibi Dong couldn't resist; if I hit them with one..."

But in the end, Qin Jian still suppressed his impulse; after all, that tent didn't just contain Grandmaster and Liu Erlong, but also Flender and Zhao Wuji, and if the Love Mist wasn't controlled well and ended up enveloping those two as well...

That scene would be unimaginable!
