36: Chapter 36 The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School
After the three arrived at Soto City, because Meng Yiran's Soul Power was relatively weak and she couldn't keep going, Bai Qi found a carriage, and the three of them continued their journey to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School by carriage.
Two days later, while the three of them were still on their way to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing had already arrived at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
At the entrance of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Ning Fengzhi, who had long known that Ning Rongrong was returning, along with the two Titled Douluo, Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo, had already been waiting there for a long time.
Seeing someone come out to meet her, Ning Rongrong got out of the carriage as quickly as she could and ran towards the three people waiting at the entrance.
"Daddy, Grandpa Sword, Grandpa Bone, I've missed you all so much!"
Ning Fengzhi watched Ning Rongrong pounce towards him. He smiled, caught her, and said, "What's the matter, Rongrong? Tell me, who bullied you?"
Ning Rongrong said with a grievance-filled face, "It's that Shrek Academy."
Upon hearing Ning Rongrong mention Shrek Academy, Sword Douluo Chen Xin let out a cold snort and said, "Hmph, I told you so. I said we should have brought Rongrong back. What if the people from Shrek Academy bullied her? You wouldn't listen. Now look, she's back after only a few days to complain."
Bone Douluo Gu Rong also chimed in at the right moment, "Exactly, Fengzhi. We should have just let that old sword go and bring Rongrong back then."
Seeing that someone was speaking up for her, Ning Rongrong nodded immediately.
Ning Fengzhi looked at Ning Rongrong, smiled, and rubbed her head without refuting, saying, "Yes, yes, it's Daddy's fault."
After finishing, he looked at Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing, who were following behind, and said, "Well then, Rongrong, introduce your friends to me."
Xiao Wu had been feeling apprehensive ever since she got off the carriage. Because she had never met any Titled Douluo other than her mother, she didn't know if the bracelet Bai Qi said was given by the Dragon God was actually useful, and she had been a little scared the whole time.
Zhu Zhuqing had noticed Xiao Wu's condition, so she stood by Xiao Wu's side after getting off the carriage.
After observing for a while after getting off the carriage, Xiao Wu noticed that Chen Xin and Gu Rong had only glanced at her and Zhu Zhuqing when they got off, and their gazes had been on Ning Rongrong ever since. Only then did she put her anxious heart at ease.
Then, she smiled at Zhu Zhuqing, and the two of them walked towards Ning Fengzhi and Ning Rongrong.
It was just as the two of them walked over that Ning Fengzhi found an opportunity to change the subject. "Oh, right, I forgot to introduce you."
Only then did Ning Rongrong remember there were two other people; she had been too busy acting spoiled just now.
She trotted over to stand between Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing. Looking at them, she introduced, "Daddy, Grandpa Sword, Grandpa Bone, this one on my left is named Xiao Wu. She is the oldest of the three of us, and her Soul Power is also the highest among us. As for her level, hehe..."
Ning Rongrong smiled and made an 'X' sign with her hands. "It's a secret for now."
Ning Fengzhi nodded at Xiao Wu. Xiao Wu also nodded in response, "School Master Ning."
Then Ning Rongrong looked at Zhu Zhuqing and introduced, "And this one is named Zhu Zhuqing. She is the youngest among us, but she is the most hardworking. She's younger than me but still a level higher."
Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi nodded at Zhu Zhuqing again. After Zhu Zhuqing finished responding, he looked at Ning Rongrong with confusion and said, "Rongrong, Daddy heard from the people who reported back that there was another person?"
When Ning Rongrong heard Ning Fengzhi mention the people who reported back, she pouted and said, "Daddy, you really did send people to follow me."
Ning Fengzhi was a bit ashamed by Ning Rongrong's counter-question. After glancing at Chen Xin, he decisively said, "That's because your Grandpa Sword was worried about you, so he made me send people to follow you."
Chen Xin did not refute this. He decisively took over Ning Fengzhi's words and said to Ning Rongrong, "That's right, Grandpa Sword was worried about you. What would you have done if you encountered danger while out by yourself?"
Upon hearing this, Ning Rongrong's eyes rolled, and her little devil persona burst forth. She trotted away from Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing and threw herself into Chen Xin's arms, saying in a spoiled tone, "Exactly, exactly! Daddy just doesn't care about me, not like Grandpa Sword, who is so good to me."
Knowing that he had been played by Rongrong, Ning Fengzhi didn't get upset, just smiled and shook his head.
Gu Rong, standing on the other side of Ning Fengzhi, looked at Chen Xin with a face full of unconvinced frustration, hating that he hadn't been the one to say that line first.
Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing exchanged glances at this and both burst into laughter. At this moment, Ning Rongrong was no little devil; she was clearly the image of a quirky little sister next door.
After the commotion with Ning Rongrong had settled, Ning Fengzhi straightened his image slightly and said to Ning Rongrong, "Alright, Rongrong, stop messing around. Tell Daddy, where is the boy who left the academy with you? Why didn't he come back with you?"
Only then did Ning Rongrong clearly hear what Ning Fengzhi had said. She had been too busy pranking her father just now and had forgotten what Ning Fengzhi had said.
Now, Ning Rongrong rubbed the back of her head embarrassedly and said, "Daddy, are you talking about Brother Xiao Bai? He has something to take care of. He'll come once he's finished."
"Alright then, you all go inside first. I've already had people prepare a meal."
Upon hearing this, although Ning Fengzhi felt a little regretful, he had the patience to wait a few more days.
And what was Bai Qi doing at this moment? "A two. Do you want it? If not, I'm going." "Can't beat it." "Pass." "A pair of threes. That's it, I won again. Put them on."
Ah Yin and Meng Yiran's faces were already covered in white paper strips.
"I'm not playing anymore. It's boring. I can't win." Meng Yiran, who was angry from losing, threw the cards onto the stool and crossed her arms.
That's right, Bai Qi was playing cards. Because traveling by carriage every day was too boring, Bai Qi had checked the system mall to see if there was anything to play with.
When he looked, there really was. But there were only three people, and it wasn't convenient to play mahjong in the carriage, so Bai Qi exchanged for a deck of playing cards.
Since neither Ah Yin nor Meng Yiran knew how to play, even after Bai Qi taught them, they were still not proficient, and Bai Qi had won several hands in a row.
Ah Yin smiled, took off the white paper strips from her face, and said, "Alright, we've been playing all morning. Let's get off the carriage to rest and find a place to eat."
Upon hearing this, Bai Qi put the cards away and nodded in agreement.
Seeing Ah Yin take off the white paper strips from her face, Meng Yiran also pulled the strips off her own face.
Seeing that Meng Yiran was still angry about losing, Bai Qi smiled helplessly. He took out the Hidden Weapons he had gotten from Tang San from his ring and handed them to Meng Yiran, saying, "Here, Yiran, a consolation prize."
She had originally turned her head away and huffed, not caring at all, but after hearing the sound of metal colliding, she couldn't help but steal a glance.
When she saw what it was, her eyes lit up. She snatched the items, inspected them left and right, and said to Bai Qi with the look of someone admiring a treasure, "Where did you get such exquisite throwing knives?"
Bai Qi scratched his head, thought for a moment about how to phrase it, and said, "I got them from a blacksmith who could be considered quite... skilled."
Upon hearing this, Meng Yiran didn't even turn her head back, continuing to fiddle with the Hidden Weapons in her hand as she said, "Then you should get me some more in the future."
Seeing that Meng Yiran liked them so much, Bai Qi smiled and said, "Sure."
After all, if he needed more in the future, he could just go find Tang San and beat him up.
After this little farce, the group led by Bai Qi found a place to eat and then continued their journey to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School by carriage.
