Chapter 103: One-Eyed Fire Chicken's Internal Strife, Ning Rongrong's Heart Develops a Rift

"Regardless, our Shrek Academy will repay the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect in the future, to express our gratitude for today's bail."

Flender held Sect Master Ning's hand again, speaking sincerely.

"Hehe, the young talents are also welcome. If you are interested in our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect in the future, you can come and join us."

Sect Master Ning clearly wouldn't leave just because of Flender's few words of thanks. He spoke to the others from Shrek Academy.

"If you join our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, we will certainly not waste your talent and will cultivate you vigorously."

Sect Master Ning dared to say this because he was confident he could support everyone from Shrek Academy.

But after waiting for a while, Sect Master Ning's expression turned sour. He found that no one was willing to join his Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

His Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was now the number one sect in the world, yet it had so little appeal.

However, Ning Rongrong, seeing her father trying to recruit her classmates, her eyes lit up, and she said, somewhat recommending, "Are you not coming to our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect? We can guarantee your cultivation resources will be smooth all the way."

"Exactly, if you come, our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will cover all your cultivation resources."

Sect Master Ning also gave a thumbs up to Ning Rongrong's sudden assist. She truly was the future Sect Master of his Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

She was already recruiting people for his Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect now—excellent.

Ning Rongrong's actions truly put Sect Master Ning's mind at ease. Before, he had thought his daughter, whom he had raised for twelve years, was almost snatched away by Shrek Academy.

It seemed she only had a slight fondness for Shrek; he had been worrying for nothing.

Thinking of this, Sect Master Ning couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

"No, Sect Master Ning, we, the Shrek Seven Devils, are still preparing to venture out together."

Tang San and the others refused again. They would not join the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Tang San was still thinking of taking down the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect at any time.

"Very well, there are still matters in the sect that need to be handled, so I, Ning, will take my leave first."

Seeing that his recruitment failed and that he seemed to have been disliked again, Sect Master Ning was not in a good mood, but he still maintained the appearance of a humble gentleman and bid farewell to the people from Shrek Academy.

However, a black shadow that was originally rushing toward Ning Rongrong suddenly darted out. Just as it was about to enter Ning Rongrong's body, it suddenly lost control and drilled into Sect Master Ning's body.

Sect Master Ning did not notice anything unusual. After he left, Tang San and the others first changed their clothes before arriving at Blue Tyrant Academy, looking refreshed.

However, even though they looked more presentable, they were still stopped when they tried to enter Blue Tyrant Academy.

"You are not from Blue Tyrant Academy, are you? Have you been invited by any instructor or the dean?"

Out of concern for the academy's safety, the gatekeeper stopped them. His tone was not aggressive but rather gentle as he asked.

After all, he had no grudge against the people in front of him; stopping them was merely part of his job.

"This is our invitation. It was personally written by your dean. You can confirm it with him."

Flender raised his head proudly. They, Shrek, were also people of status now. If it were before, he would have disdained such a thing.

But after three months in prison, he naturally had to vent the grievances he had suffered.

"Please wait a moment."

It was also the gatekeeper's first time seeing the dean's letter, so he naturally had to report it first and follow all procedures.

This was also why he had been an excellent gatekeeper for so many years.

Watching the gatekeeper's receding, the One-Eyed Fire Chicken, Ma Hongjun, said somewhat impatiently, "What's all this? So many procedures. Why don't they just let us confirm with the dean ourselves?"

"Don't be so impatient. He's also thinking about the safety of Blue Tyrant Academy. What if you go in and cause destruction in Blue Tyrant Academy?"

Ning Rongrong wasn't stupid; at least, she wasn't completely biased toward Shrek Academy. She also realized that Tang San's words just now had hurt her father's feelings.

She also understood that as someone from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, she was a bit too biased toward Shrek. But when forced to choose between Shrek and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, she truly couldn't make a choice.

So, she could only remain neutral.

"I know."

The One-Eyed Fire Chicken rolled his only remaining eye at Ning Rongrong and said somewhat sarcastically, "After all, we're from the countryside and don't understand the rules of the big city. We don't have anyone covering for us, so we even have to go to jail."

"Didn't you cause trouble yourself and insist on hitting Xue Beng?"

Ning Rongrong also felt a surge of anger. She supported Shrek, but not to let Shrek take advantage of her.

She and the people from Shrek Academy were now only considered friends with whom she had fought alongside, not lifelong bosom friends.

"Hmph, then why didn't you stop me?"

Ma Hongjun knew he was in the wrong, but so what? A mere auxiliary Soul Master couldn't beat him, could she? He was now backed by Tang San.

Tang San had a Title Douluo behind him, so he probably wasn't afraid of what Ning Rongrong would do to him.

"You."

Ning Rongrong was also so angry that she was out of breath, her small chest heaving, and her little face flushed red.

"Alright, Fatty, Ning Rongrong was also looking out for you."

Tang San still wanted to earn money from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to fight against it, so he naturally couldn't sever ties with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect now.

There weren't many rich patsies like the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and it happened to be a reserve fund for him to develop the Tang Sect.

"I understand, Third Brother."

Seeing Tang San get angry, Ma Hongjun immediately changed his expression and said with approval.

After all, he was famously a bully to the weak and a coward to the strong. A softie like Ning Rongrong, who had been taught to have no temper, deserved to be bullied by him.

Of course, it was also because Ning Rongrong was kind-hearted, just mischievous, and treated the Shrek people as her own, but the Shrek people only saw her as an ATM.

"Rongrong, don't take it to heart. You know Fatty's temper."

Tang San stabilized Ma Hongjun, then came to Ning Rongrong, this golden ATM, to soothe her emotions.

He still needed Ning Rongrong for now and couldn't let her leave. At least, he had to wait until he completely broke with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and then he could take over all the assets of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Only then would Ning Rongrong truly have no more use.

"I understand."

At this moment, Ning Rongrong no longer had the desire to argue. The seed of a rift had been deeply planted in her heart, waiting only for Shrek Academy's true nature to be exposed.

"Hmm, I gained some treasures on this trip. It was a blessing in disguise. Perhaps it can further improve our strength."

"Maybe it can even evolve your Martial Soul, Rongrong."

Tang San said somewhat mysteriously, building suspense, which also served to stabilize the relationship among the Shrek Seven Devils.

After all, for Ning Rongrong, it was the obsession of successive Sect Masters of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. If she could succeed, she believed her father would be very happy.
