Ning Rongrong, who had just finished her intensive training, sat in the shade of a tree, completely abandoning any ladylike demeanor, trying to escape the scorching sun. She
had only been enrolled at Blue Tyrant Academy for a little over a month, and her once fair skin had already turned a wheatish tan.
Ning Fengzhi was quite dissatisfied with this; he felt his little princess should be pampered, how could she be acting like a commoner after only a little over a month?
His opinion, however, unexpectedly enraged the usually gentle Gu Rong within the sect, leaving Ning Fengzhi spitting all over him.
That day, his roar echoed throughout the entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
"Commoner! What's wrong with being a commoner!? I'm still a beggar!"
"Ning Fengzhi, are you also planning to distance yourself from your nobles?!"
Chen Xin, unusually, didn't argue with Gu Rong, but stood silently to the side, waiting for Gu Rong to finish his tantrum before joining him for drinks to cheer him up.
Ning Fengzhi, despite being scolded, didn't get angry. He simply wiped the drool from his face, quietly sat back down in his chair, and began to reflect on his mistakes.
What outsiders didn't know was that Bone Douluo Gu Rong was actually a beggar.
It was precisely for this reason that he was so fond of Yu Xiaowei.
"Rongrong."
Yu Xiaowei, carrying a jar of candy beans, walked over with a smile.
"Brother Xiaowei~"
Ning Rongrong stood up excitedly, jumping and skipping into his arms, hugging him tightly.
After a short while, the two sat side by side.
Yu Xiaowei opened the candy jar. These were candy beans condensed from Shao Xin's first soul skill; their effect was to calm the mind and focus, useless in battle, but good as a snack.
The two leaned against each other, Ning Rongrong separating the candy beans, sometimes putting one in her own mouth, sometimes feeding one to Yu Xiaowei.
Silvery laughter occasionally rang out from under the small shade of the tree.
After finishing all the candies, Yu Xiaowei leaned back and lay down on the grass, using
his arms as a pillow. Ning Rongrong followed suit, lying down beside him and chattering away.
"Brother Xiaowei, where have you been all this time? I missed you so much! Nobody played with me."
"You don't know, Grandpa Dugu was so fierce! He always called on me in class, and if I couldn't answer, he'd hit my hand with a slap—it hurt so much!"
"And that Teacher Yinshu, she insisted I go train with the Blue Tyrant team, but you weren't there, so I didn't want to go."
"Also, you looked so imposing when you were giving a lecture yesterday, but you seemed really busy, so I didn't go to find you."
"And..."
"And..."
As she spoke, Ning Rongrong suddenly heard a soft snore.
She pouted and looked over; sure enough, Yu Xiaowei was already asleep.
She was a little annoyed and wanted to wake him, but when she saw his face, which couldn't hide his weariness, she felt a pang of heartache.
Yu Xiaowei was very tired. The adults didn't know, but Ning Rongrong did. This seemingly thick-skinned boy, who often got beaten up, had shown extreme exhaustion more than once in private.
As her childhood sweetheart, she couldn't understand why Yu Xiaowei worked so hard to cultivate, when he was already very strong.
That's why she always tried to get Yu Xiaowei to take her out to play, because only then could he get some rest.
Peaceful moments are always fleeting.
Qin Ming's shout broke their world of two.
Looking at the still-sleeping Yu Xiaowei, Ning Rongrong took off her coat and covered him with it.
After secretly glancing around, she quickly kissed Yu Xiaowei's cheek like a chick pecking at rice.
After doing this, she stood up, her face slightly flushed, and walked quickly towards Qin Ming.
"Why are you alone? Where's Xiaowei?"
Qin Ming asked, puzzled, seeing Ning Rongrong coming alone.
He clearly remembered that Yu Xiaowei had said he was going to find Ning Rongrong, and that the kid had even gotten a jar of candy from Shao Xin. Why wasn't he here with her?
"Brother Xiaowei is resting. Don't disturb him unless it's something important."
"Resting?"
Looking at Ning Rongrong, whose hair still had a few blades of grass stuck to it, Qin Ming was surprised. It hadn't been long at all.
"This Yu Xiaowei isn't any good either..."
"What are you thinking! Brother Xiaowei's just been too tired lately, he fell asleep sitting there."
Ning Rongrong saw right through him, and kicked him in the knee in annoyance, his slightly flushed face turning as red as an apple.
"Uh, hehehe..."
Having his dirty thoughts exposed, Qin Ming awkwardly scratched his head.
Ning Rongrong snorted irritably, crossed her arms, and asked,
"Is there something you need from Brother Xiaowei? If it's nothing serious, let him sleep for a while."
"Sigh, don't even mention it. Shenfeng Academy seems to have gone mad, blocking our academy gate, claiming they want to challenge the Blue Tyrant Team. I was just thinking that since we don't have any Soul Masters besides Xiaowei, I thought I'd have him come and keep things quiet."
Qin Ming's tone was quite helpless. Although Blue Tyrant Academy was rising rapidly, besides Yu Xiaowei, Yu Tianheng, whose Soul Power was the highest, had only just reached level 39.
This leveling speed was actually quite fast, considering it had only been a little over three months since he reached level 38.
The problem is, in the promotional materials for the Heaven Dou City Advanced Soul Master Academy, Shenfeng Academy is using the fact that its chief disciple, Feng Xiaotian, is level 41 as a selling point.
It's not just the Soul Master issue; two level 39 students also accompanied Feng Xiaotian.
These three top-tier combatants alone are enough of a headache.
Ning Rongrong confidently puffed out her chest and raised her chin, saying,
"But I'm here!"
"With my Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda assisting him, my second nephew will be very powerful too."
"Besides, you all have to ask Brother Xiaowei for everything now, what will happen to him after he graduates?"
Ning Rongrong's last sentence struck a chord with Qin Ming.
He had actually noticed the problem as well; many things in the academy were now relying on Yu Xiaowei.
Formulating training plans, leading the Blue Tyrant team, including the construction of academy facilities, and even poaching teachers for the academy.
Nominally, Yu Xiaowei was still a student, but in reality, he was no different from the dean.
Thinking of this, Qin Ming pondered for a moment and nodded.
"Alright, this time, let's see how your training goes."
After sleeping for a long time, Yu Xiaowei slowly woke up.
Wiping the drool from the corner of his mouth, he sat up somewhat dazedly.
He hadn't slept so soundly in a long time, having been constantly on the move.
"Hey, where's Rongrong?"
Looking at his clothes, which still carried a faint scent of her body, Yu Xiaowei looked around.
Not only was Ning Rongrong missing, but the usually bustling training ground was also silent.
"Strange, where did everyone go?"
Holding Ning Rongrong's clothes, he began searching the academy.
After its expansion, Blue Tyrant Academy's area was almost the same as that of Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
Yu Xiaowei walked across the training ground, the simulation area, and even the classrooms, but couldn't find her. He only heard a commotion when he was almost at the academy gate.
By then, the Blue Tyrant team had already been defeated.
Even though Ning Rongrong's Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda support ability was unmatched among her peers, Yu Tianheng was not a Soul Master after all.
Feng Xiaotian was no ordinary Soul Master; the missing soul ring became the final straw that broke the camel's back.
Ning Rongrong, caught off guard, was ambushed by a level 38 agility-type Soul Master from the Divine Wind Team.
At that moment, Tailong and Huang Yuan were too far away to intervene in time, and could only watch helplessly as she was knocked to the ground, unable to continue fighting.
Sitting on the ground, Ning Rongrong pursed her lips, tears welling in her eyes, watching Yu Tianheng still gritting his teeth and persevering, sobbing continuously.
Just then, someone gently patted her shoulder.
Immediately afterwards, Yu Xiaowei's gentle voice reached her ears.
"Rongrong, be good, don't cry."
