After Tang Xiao and Tang Chen got what they wanted, they left the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda Clan.
So quickly that even Ning Rongrong was somewhat taken aback.
One might think our Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda Clan is kicking you out!
Walking on night roads so late, aren't you afraid of someone hitting you from behind?
At this time, within the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda Clan.
The only ones worth Ning Rongrong's attention were two people: Xue Ke and Bi Ji, who came to the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda Clan to deliver congratulations on behalf of Xue Qinghe.
However, these two were also quite patient.
Several days had passed, and they still hadn't come.
Finally, one morning.
Ning Rongrong, a certain clan leader, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo were discussing the cultivation experience regarding Limit Douluos left by Tang Chen.
This experience should be genuine, but its use for Sword Douluo was limited to just some experiential knowledge.
Knock knock knock—
The sound of knocking suddenly came.
The conversation between Ning Fengzhi and the other two stopped as they looked up towards the closed main door.
"Weren't we told not to disturb us unless it's important?"
"It's like this, Clan Leader. Princess Xue Ke and Lord Bi Ji wish to have a meeting with the Clan Leader."
"Is that so, then please invite them over." Ning Rongrong replied.
The clan disciple outside, who lacked discernment, seemed not to have shifted his mindset.
Or perhaps, Ning Fengzhi's words still carried more weight.
He did not leave until Ning Fengzhi spoke: "Do as Rongrong says. Invite Her Highness and Lord Bi Ji over."
"Yes."
The footsteps outside gradually faded.
"Still, my voice works better." Ning Fengzhi chuckled.
Ning Rongrong: "..."
Look at you, so pleased about such a small thing, the esteemed Clan Leader of the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda Clan.
You really are a bit hopeless!
"Rongrong, what do you think their purpose is?" Bone Douluo, who thought relatively more, was more worried about potentially complex situations than Sword Douluo.
"Who knows!" Ning Rongrong spread her hands.
Good grief, she wasn't a god.
Even if she were a god, she couldn't possibly know the other party's thoughts, right?
It's not like she was a worm in someone else's stomach.
"Perhaps it's about the right arm." Sword Douluo reminded.
"Right arm..." Ning Rongrong murmured thoughtfully, "Probably not. Star Dou Great Forest doesn't have that much time to bother with the Clear Sky School's affairs."
"Why think so much?" Ning Fengzhi reached out and ruffled Ning Rongrong's pink hair. Had to say, the hair quality was really good, even better than those cat girls...
Uh, no, what am I thinking!
Ning Fengzhi pulled back his wandering thoughts and said, pretending nothing happened:
"We'll know when they come later anyway."
These past two days, Bi Ji and Xue Ke had been at the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda Clan, but taking the first move meant losing completely.
Ning Fengzhi and the others never went to find them, waiting to see who would lose patience first.
Sure enough, in such a short time.
Bi Ji hurried to meet with Ning Fengzhi.
"Rongrong, Bi Ji is a five hundred and seventy thousand year soul beast, should we..."
Bone Douluo's expression was serious. Ning Rongrong had said before that if they could obtain Bi Ji's soul bone and soul ring, it might allow Fengzhi to advance to the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda.
Although the Blue Silver Emperor was also speculated to work, the Blue Silver Emperor had been dead for too long, and the preservation method of the soul bone was poor. The soul bone obtained was still a bit lacking to allow Ning Fengzhi to break through.
"Grandpa Bone, don't have such thoughts." Ning Rongrong shook her head. Why did she always feel that Bone Douluo liked things like killing and plundering? The incident with Tang San in the original work, and several times before, he had suggested actions involving slitting throats.
"Bi Ji's status in the Star Dou Great Forest... unless we want to completely fall out with the Star Dou Great Forest."
"Unless forced, whether it's Star Dou Great Forest, the Clear Sky School, the Spirit Hall, or even Sea God Island, I don't want the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda Clan's affairs to get involved."
"Our current strength is still a bit too weak."
Tang Chen's cultivation experience to become a Limit Douluo, and Star Dou Great Forest's Yin-Yang Twin Soul Cores.
Ning Rongrong wanted to study them in detail.
Not too much time passed before footsteps slowly approached.
Title Douluos possessed a certain level of perception; the feeling was quite familiar.
Especially the intense life aura on Bi Ji, it was simply unbelievable.
The door slowly pushed open, revealing Bi Ji in a light green dress.
Different from when they first met, Bi Ji's makeup was the same as during the grand tournament.
Bi Ji stepped into the living room one step at a time, and slightly behind her was the Heaven Dou Empire's Princess Xue Ke. Compared to Bi Ji's calmness, Xue Ke seemed worried.
"This counts as our first formal meeting, right?" Ning Rongrong's eyelids moved slightly as she assessed the Emerald Swan Bi Ji, from whose face not a trace of panic could be seen.
"First formal meeting? I don't think so." Bi Ji sat down with Xue Ke in a nearby seat, her gaze gentle and calm.
"True. I wonder how Lord Beast God has been lately." Ning Rongrong smiled.
"Thanks to Young Clan Leader Ning, you left a deep memory for Di Tian."
"That's really an honor!" Ning Rongrong's gaze turned leisurely, looking towards Xue Ke beside her. "Long time no see, Princess Xue Ke."
"Rong... Ning Rongrong."
Xue Ke opened her mouth, completely at a loss for words.
The current Ning Rongrong seemed completely different from the Ning Rongrong who used to play and joke with her in the Heaven Dou Empire.
"Surprised?"
"Quite surprised, indeed." Xue Ke nodded, but didn't know how to continue the conversation.
"Sometimes, hiding is necessary, just like the one on the throne."
"Xue Qinghe..." Hearing this name, a pained expression appeared on Xue Ke's face.
"So you really knew." Ning Rongrong placed her hand on the armrest of the chair. "I'm curious, Princess Xue Ke, can you really let it go?"
"Or do you plan to strike back and become an Empress like Bibi Dong?"
"I don't have such thoughts." Xue Ke was startled, then shook her head. "I know my own situation. I'm not like you; I'm just a weak auxiliary Spirit Master."
"Is that so? I'm a weak auxiliary Spirit Master too!" Ning Rongrong curled her lips. "Didn't I still defeat that Spirit Hall Saintess and win back the hundred-thousand-year soul bone?"
Ning Rongrong deliberately put a slight emphasis on the words 'hundred-thousand-year soul bone'.
Bi Ji: "..."
Xue Ke: "..."
"Just joking." Ning Rongrong spread her hands, shifting her gaze from Xue Ke. "Miss Bi Ji, I never expected you to delay for so many years before coming to the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda Clan."
"Although our contract back then didn't set a date, taking this long is somewhat unreasonable, isn't it?"
"Since no date was set, then there is no date, right?"
"Anyway, I'm here now." Bi Ji's voice was clear, gentle; even a casual remark made people feel an inexplicable fondness for her.
"That's true!" Ning Rongrong laughed. "However, that Pagoda in my house..."
"I am not a Pagoda Spirit!" Before Ning Rongrong could finish her sentence, a black light shot out from Ning Rongrong's body, taking human form and standing beside her. Black lines crawled up her forehead.
"Ning Rongrong, if you call me a Pagoda Spirit again, I'll get angry with you."
