Chapter 40

Bibi Dong was persuaded by Luo Ye and Hu Lie Na, but Bibi Dong was not completely persuaded.

At this time, she still harbored a fluke hope, deep in her heart hoping that Yu Xiaogang would not scheme against her as Luo Ye said.

But she no longer longed to be with Yu Xiaogang as strongly as before.

She merely wanted to observe more and personally verify whether Yu Xiaogang's true nature was indeed as Luo Ye said.

Therefore, Bibi Dong now does not want to meet Yu Xiaogang.

As a result, Hu Lie Na actually had her use the pretext of going to meet Yu Xiaogang, but in fact she lured Luo Ye to the Spirit Hall.

Bibi Dong was extremely opposed to this and directly refused.

"No, absolutely not, think of another way."

Hu Lie Na shrugged and said helplessly.

"What other options are there, Teacher? This is already the best idea I can come up with; otherwise, think again if there's any suitable reason to go find Luo Ye."

Bibi Dong fell silent, pondering for a long time, realizing that it was indeed the best plan, but she still flatly denied it.

"You make me think of solutions for everything—what good are you? Since you want to bring Luo Ye to the Spirit Hall, you figure out a countermeasure yourself."

Hu Lie Na, hearing this, looked at Bibi Dong with a resentful expression.

She clearly knew her teacher could not think of any better plan, so she deliberately said that to push the responsibility onto herself.

But it's helpless; a higher rank crushes those below—who let Bibi Dong be his teacher, and even the Pope of the Spirit Hall?

Since she was unwilling to use the pretext of going to find Yu Xiaogang to lure Luo Ye back, she had no choice but to find another way.

Anyway, there was still some time before Luo Ye left Shilaike Academy; all she and Bibi Dong needed to do was put their heads together, and they would surely come up with a better countermeasure.

After Qian Renxue arrived at the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect, she noticed that the atmosphere in the main hall was somewhat strange.

The Sword Warrior and the Bone Warrior sat on the same side, not even glancing at Ning Fengzhi, while Sect Leader Ning Fengzhi merely gave a bitter smile and said nothing.

After a moment's thought, Qian Renxue directly realized the truth, and thus deliberately looked at Ning Fengzhi with a curious expression and asked.

"Teacher, has Junior Sister Rongrong already gone to Shilaike Academy?"

Ning Fengzhi heard this, his smile turning more bitter, he helplessly shook his head and sighed.

"Rongrong has already been admitted and become a student of Shilaike Academy."

Qian Renxue blinked her eyes, several times almost speaking but stopping, finally unable to hold back and said.

"According to the information I have received, Shilaike Academy's teaching method is very wrong; letting Junior Sister Rongrong become their student might not be a good thing."

Upon hearing this, before Ning Fengzhi could speak, the Sword Warrior and the Bone Warrior beside her looked at her and asked in unison.

"Crown Prince, what exactly do you mean by 'not right'?"

Qian Renxue also did not beat around the bush, speaking in a rather heavy tone.

"Shilaike Academy is unlike other academies; it is more like a sect, doing everything possible to suppress students' arrogance, presenting an attitude that being able to become a Shilaike student is their honor."

"Once the students stop resisting their oppression, those fellows will not only not relent, but will increase their efforts until the students are completely obedient to them."

"This so-called Shilaike Academy, in its treatment of students, is even more excessive than some sects."

As Qian Renxue's words fell, Ning Fengzhi's brows furrowed, and the faces of Chen Xin and Gu Rong also grew uglier.

Chen Xin let out a cold snort and said.

"I've long said that Rongrong should never be allowed to go to any Shilaike Academy; staying in that kind of remote little town's academy, what good could it do for Rongrong?"

Gu Rong glared at him fiercely and blamed.

"It was you who brought Rongrong to Shilaike; along the way, how many chances were there to bring her back? Why didn't you do that?"

Chen Xin said nothing, merely turning his gaze to Ning Fengzhi.

"If it weren't for Ning Fengzhi agreeing to let Ning Rongrong go to Shilaike Academy, he would have at least nine ways to bring Ning Rongrong back, at least nine!"

Thinking this, Chen Xin also hesitated no more, stood up directly and said.

"Fengzhi, I'll go now and bring Rongrong back; if those Shilaike folks are really suppressing Rongrong, I'd like to see if they can block my sword."

Gu Rong also rose and echoed.

"I'll go together with this despicable person to see just how bold those Shilaike folks are."

"You should know that Ning Rongrong has always been their treasure, held in their palms for fear of dropping, kept in their mouths for fear of melting."

"If she were actually suppressed at Shilaike Academy by Flandre and the others, then that side would truly be asking for trouble."

Ning Fengzhi was somewhat hesitant.

"The reason he originally agreed to Ning Rongrong's request to go to Shilaike Academy was to properly temper her temperament."

"After all, he only has this one daughter, who is destined to inherit the position of Sect Leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect."

"If Ning Rongrong's temperament does not change, it might later bring great disaster to the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect."

So even if Ning Fengzhi heard from Qian Renxue about Shilaike Academy's teaching methods, he still didn't want to just take her back like that.

Faced with the gazes of Chen Xin and Gu Rong, Ning Fengzhi forced himself to speak.

「Jian Shu, Gu Shu, don't be so agitated; with Rongrong's arrogant and indulgent nature, being suppressed a bit might actually be a good thing. 」

Seeing Chen Xin and Gu Rong about to lose their temper, Ning Fengzhi quickly added.

「Don't worry, if Flandre and the others go too far, I will definitely bring Rongrong back right away. 」

Qian Renxue beside them flicked her eyes.

It seems we can't directly spur Ning Fengzhi to act this time; since that's the case, we need to change our strategy.

Seeing Chen Xin and Gu Rong still wanting to say something, Qian Renxue quickly stepped in to smooth things over.

「You don't need to worry too much; with Rongrong's intelligence, if she realizes that Shilaike Academy isn't right for her, she will definitely come back on her own. 」

「By then, with me around, I can completely let Rongrong study at the Tiandou Royal Academy. 」

Although Qian Renxue's cultivation talent is quite 'weak', she after all has the status of the Tiandou Crown Prince, and will likely become the Tiandou Emperor in the future.

Chen Xin and Gu Rong also don't mind giving her some face.

Although they felt sorry for Ning Rongrong and didn't want her to be suppressed.

But even they had to admit that Ning Rongrong's character was indeed overly spoiled and arrogant; going alone to Shilaike Academy for some training might also be a good choice.

Chenxin let out a hum and said.

"For now, let's just leave it like this, but if I find out that Rongrong is not doing well there, no matter what you say, I will definitely bring him back."

Seeing Chenxin's attitude loosen, Ning Fengzhi hurriedly promised.

"Don't worry, Sword Uncle, Rongrong is my daughter; I certainly couldn't let her suffer too much."
