Chapter 122: Leaving it to Ling Yan

Chapter 122: Leaving it to Ling Yan

"I thought you were heading to the Wuhun Temple. Why are you here?" Zhu Ming looked at Wang Si curiously, unsure why he had lied earlier. Could Ling Yan Douluo leak secrets? Zhu Ming was perplexed.

"I just wanted to clear my head. The destination isn't important, is it?" Wang Si narrowed his eyes slightly, breathing in the salty sea breeze. Zhu Ming could only shake his head helplessly.

"Where we go doesn't matter." Zhu Ming shrugged, then glanced at Wang Si. "But I'd rather go find that girl and have a good spar with her. I've been looking forward to it, so you owe me."

Indeed, after leaving Tiandou City, Wang Si did not go to the Wuhun City but instead brought Zhu Ming straight to Hanhai City.

"How is your body recovering? How much of your strength can you exert now?" Wang Si skipped the previous topic and asked Zhu Ming a more important question.

Zhu Ming pondered for a moment, then extended her hand and started calculating. "I recovered a long time ago. With Aolan's guidance, I've separated the two energies. However, I can't apply them flexibly yet. As for my current strength, my soul power is still at the eighty-ninth level, but I command the power of ice and fire, and I have several dozen 100,000-year-old soul rings.

I haven't encountered many strong opponents, but at the very least, I can face off against those above the ninety-fifth level. My soul skills are unmatched, but my soul power level is too low, and I lack combat experience against such foes, so I'd be at a disadvantage." Zhu Ming analyzed seriously, appearing ready for battle.

"There's a million-year soul beast in these waters. What do you think your chances are if you were to fight it?" Wang Si asked, his face solemn.

Upon hearing Wang Si's words, Zhu Ming froze. A million-year soul beast? Her eyes lit up with excitement, and she rubbed her palms together, eager to test her skills against such a formidable foe.

"I think I've been underestimating myself. I should try my luck against a million-year soul beast!" Zhu Ming exclaimed, her enthusiasm evident.

However, as Zhu Ming was still reveling in excitement, her expression underwent a subtle change. "Master, Ning Rongrong is looking for me. Or rather, Xiao Wu. She's gone to our estate to look for Xiao Wu."

After saying this, Zhu Ming noticed that Wang Si remained unperturbed, as if he had anticipated this turn of events.

"Master, guess why Ning Rongrong is looking for me. If you guess right, I'll give you a reward." Zhu Ming proposed a trivial game.

Wang Si yawned lazily in response to Zhu Ming's playful suggestion. "What else could it be? She wants you to join Shrek Academy and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. Besides, she wants you to join for Xiao Wu's sake."

"Wow!" Zhu Ming exclaimed in awe, and she did not skimp on rewarding Wang Si, nor did she forget to treat herself.

"Do you have any other guesses? For instance, why does she have such a deep fixation on Xiao Wu?" Zhu Ming blinked playfully at Wang Si.

Wang Si directly sent Zhu Ming the conversation between Xue Qinghe and the Snow Night Emperor.

Zhu Ming pouted in response. "You're looking at the answers! Guessing is more fun!"

As Zhu Ming's displeasure grew, she exerted a slight force, causing Wang Si's face to visibly redden.

"I figured it out a long time ago. The first time Ning Rongrong met Xiao Wu, I knew. As the future heir of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Ning Rongrong must have a strong offensive-type soul master by her side.

Initially, to be shameless, I thought she was considering me. After all, I have innate full soul power, and my soul power level is not low now. But after she visited our Tianwu Academy, I realized that little girl didn't have her eyes on me. Obviously, she has chosen Xiao Wu."

"You want me to go to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School? I reckon the school won't be under the Nings' control anymore in a few days." Wang Si teased.

Zhu Ming, of course, denied such slander.

"Still denying it? Look at how many students there are in the inner court of Tianwu Academy, and how many of them are named Zhu?"

Hearing this, Zhu Ming playfully blinked her eyes and then laughed without a shred of integrity.

"My reason for leaving Tiandou City was to hide from that little witch. You can't betray me now. Just insist that the dean is not around, and that you can't leave with her. Ling Yan Douluo will come up with a good excuse."

At these words, Zhu Ming glanced at Wang Si, her expression one of disdain, as if looking at a disloyal man.

"You even want to use little sister Ling Yan for such a trivial matter. Come on, you specifically asked for me, so it must be something important. Spit it out."

Wang Si couldn't very well give the people of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School a hard time, so he took it out on Ling Yan Douluo instead.

Tsk, how old are you, and you're still using such childish tactics?

"You indeed saw through me, but it's not a big deal..."

............

At Wang Si's mansion.

Ning Rongrong stamped her foot in frustration as she looked at Xiao Wu, who was stubbornly shaking her head.

"Xiao Wu, why are you being like this? I remember you weren't like this before!"

Facing Ning Rongrong's helpless rage, Zhu Wu naturally squeezed out a couple of tears.

"Sister Rongrong, it's not that I don't want to go. It's just that... the dean told me before he left that I must not take a single step outside of Tianwu Academy, so that's why I..."

Hearing this, Ning Rongrong couldn't help but laugh in frustration.

"Wang Si? You're going to listen to him that much? He's not even going to pay you, so why do you need to stay here?"

Ning Rongrong was about to go crazy.

Zixiao Douluo knocked on the door, signaling to Ning Rongrong that this was not the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and she shouldn't speak so carelessly.

Seeing Zixiao Douluo, Ning Rongrong took a deep breath. This person was not from Tiandou City, so she couldn't afford to be too reckless.

It was a pity that Jian Grandpa had gone to Tiandou City with her father to find the Snow Night Emperor; otherwise, she would have shown them some colors.

"So, Wang Si didn't say when he would be back or where he was going?"

Ning Rongrong calmly continued to persuade Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu still shook her head.

"You can ask Teacher Lin. He knows more about the dean."

Zhu Wu directly pushed the problem to Ling Yan, and Ning Rongrong frowned at the man in front of her, who claimed to be "Lin Xiao" but whose information couldn't be found by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School!

"The dean has some personal matters to take care of and won't be back for a short while. If Miss Rongrong wants to look for him, I'm afraid you'll have to wait for a long time."

"How long is a long time?" Ning Rongrong asked, her eyebrows furrowed.

"Lin Xiao" sneered and raised his eyebrows at Ning Rongrong.

"The dean has some personal matters to take care of. Miss Rongrong, you and our dean don't seem to have any special relationship, do you? Why would he need to report such things to you?"

As a titled Douluo, Ling Yan naturally wouldn't indulge Ning Rongrong, especially since she knew that Wang Si had gone to woo another girl.

He had gone to the Wuhun Temple to chase a girl!

Ning Rongrong could only put on a tough front!
