Chapter 28: Ning Fengzhi's Shock, Is He Really Eighteen?
Outside Shrek Academy, Qin Xiao and the members of Shrek Academy noticed Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo.
"Grandpa Jian!"
"Dad!"
In the crowd, Ning Rongrong called out with surprise. Could these two people be Sword Douluo and Ning Fengzhi, the Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect? In an instant, everyone thought of their identities.
"Teacher Zhao, may I go over there for a moment?" Ning Rongrong didn't forget to ask Zhao Wuji for permission.
"Go ahead." Zhao Wuji nodded, then turned to the others and said, "Since we've reached the academy, go about your business. Today is a day off, and classes will resume as normal tomorrow." After speaking, he turned and headed back to the academy first.
Ning Rongrong, like a swallow returning to its nest, hurried over to Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo, chattering away. Soon, Qin Xiao also withdrew his gaze, planning to return to his residence. But at this moment, a voice called out from behind him:
"Your Excellency." Qin Xiao turned around, somewhat surprised, as it was Zhu Zhuqing who had called him. It was well known that this young-looking, well-endowed ice beauty wasn't as clingy as Ning Rongrong and always maintained a distance from him.
"Something the matter?" He was curious about what Zhu Zhuqing wanted.
"Could you come with me for a moment?" Zhu Zhuqing asked with a troubled look.
Qin Xiao nodded, agreeing that it wasn't the place for a conversation with so many people around. Soon, he and Zhu Zhuqing disappeared from everyone's sight.
"Creak." Witnessing their departure, Dai Mubai unconsciously clenched his fists. But this scene was noticed by his 'good brothers'.
"Dai Boss, I know you have thoughts about Zhu Zhuqing, but I still advise you to let it go." Ma Hongjun patted Dai Mubai's shoulder.
"Fatty always talks nonsense, but he's right this time. Give it up, Boss. There are plenty of fish in the sea." Oscar also felt the same. He thought his situation with Ning Rongrong and Dai Mubai's with Zhu Zhuqing were similar. As someone who had been through it, he should give some advice.
However, the more he advised, the angrier Dai Mubai got. But was his situation the same as Oscar's? Oscar was unrequited in love, but Zhu Zhuqing was his fiancée. And now she was going on a date with someone else.
"Let's go, Boss. We've been out for so long, let's find a place to relax." "I'll treat, you spend!" Ma Hongjun said as he pulled Dai Mubai towards Soto City. Oscar glanced at Ning Rongrong and then gritted his teeth, "Count me in."
On the other side, Ning Fengzhi joked, "Rongrong, it seems Uncle Jian is more important than your dad, huh?"
"Not at all."
"Why did you call Uncle Jian first and not dad?"
"Uncle Jian, look, my dad is nitpicking." Unable to answer, Ning Rongrong turned to Sword Douluo for help. Sure enough. She was right to do so, as Sword Douluo said, "Sect Master, you're being petty. It's just a title. I don't think it matters who is called first."
Ning Fengzhi was speechless. She had called Uncle Jian first. If she had called him dad first, he would have said the same. Unfortunately, the old and young in front of him didn't care about his feelings.
"You've lost weight." Sword Douluo said with some concern, then stroked Ning Rongrong's head: "But you've grown taller."
Ning Rongrong giggled, "How long has it been since you last saw me, Uncle Jian? Of course, I've grown. I feel like your beard has grown since the last time I saw you."
"Haha." Sword Douluo shook his head with a smile, "You're still that little clever girl, nothing's changed."
Ning Rongrong smiled again, then asked curiously, "Uncle Jian, Dad, you're not here just to see me, are you?"
Outside Shrek Academy, caught by her daughter's remark, Ning Fengzhi felt a bit embarrassed. He tried to change the subject, "If I'm not mistaken, you went on a soul hunting expedition, right? Where did you go? Did anything interesting happen?"
"Of course!" Ning Rongrong nodded excitedly, confirming the effectiveness of Ning Fengzhi's diversion. "You might not believe it, but we encountered a hundred-thousand-year Titan Giant Ape on our journey! It was really huge and fierce!"
"What! A hundred-thousand-year soul beast!" Hearing Ning Rongrong's words, both Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo exclaimed in shock. This was truly astonishing!
"But even an ordinary Titled Douluo is no match for a hundred-thousand-year soul beast, let alone a Titan Giant Ape of such level. Such a powerful soul beast master, even a ninety-five level Titled Douluo wouldn't dare to face it lightly. How did you manage to turn danger into safety?" Ning Fengzhi quickly doubted the truth of the story.
"Hehe, dad, that's easy to answer." Ning Rongrong giggled mysteriously, "Because we have a Titled Douluo in our team."
However, upon hearing Ning Rongrong's words, both Sword Douluo and Ning Fengzhi were shocked again.
"Shrek Academy has a Titled Douluo?"
After the surprise, Ning Fengzhi laughed wryly, "You little witch, you really think you can fool your dad? I've investigated before; the dean, Flender, is only a seventy-eight level Soul Sage, and Zhao Wuji is even less capable than Flender. How could there be a Titled Douluo?"
"That tall man just now must be the Motionless Bright King Zhao Wuji, the second strongest in Shrek Academy."
Tsk.
Hearing this, Ning Rongrong waved her hand dismissively, "Dad, that's old news. I'm not kidding."
"Do you remember the most handsome boy in the team just now?"
The most handsome?
Ning Fengzhi shook his head; he really hadn't paid attention.
"Rongrong, are you talking about the boy at the end of the team?"
However, Sword Douluo reacted differently from Ning Fengzhi, instinctively picturing Qin Xiao! Could it be him? Earlier, he had felt something odd about that boy, a sense of danger. But before he could probe further, Ning Rongrong arrived.
"Yes, him!" Ning Rongrong's eyes sparkled, "He is Thunder Emperor Douluo Qin Xiao. Teacher Zhao told us privately that Thunder Emperor is a ninety-two level Titled Douluo. We escaped in front of the Titan Giant Ape because of His Excellency. Everyone even believes that the soul beast master was slain by Thunder Emperor!"
"Rongrong, is this
true?" Seeing Ning Rongrong describe it so vividly, Ning Fengzhi couldn't help but believe her somewhat, "But he doesn't look very old, how could he be a Titled Douluo?"
Ning Fengzhi's words also reflected Sword Douluo's thoughts.
"I know about this." Ning Rongrong puffed out her chest, proudly stating, "Thunder Emperor is young, only eighteen years old."
"How much?"
"Eighteen years old?" Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo exchanged a look, shaking their heads in disbelief. "Rongrong, that's too exaggerated, even for you."
Ning Fengzhi frowned and said seriously, "There has never been an eighteen-year-old Titled Douluo in the history of the Douluo Continent! The youngest Titled Douluo on the continent was over forty years old."
If you said that young man was an age-defying old monster, actually in his fifties or sixties, they might have reluctantly accepted it. But to say he was eighteen? Who would believe that?
"There's no mistake."
"On the day he enrolled, Thunder Emperor himself said he was eighteen years old, and I have no doubt about it."
Saying so, Ning Rongrong's eyes showed a fanatic admiration, like a little fan, "Before there was no Thunder Emperor. If Thunder Emperor had been born earlier, the record of an eighteen-year-old Titled Douluo would have existed on the Douluo Continent long ago."
