Chen Xin's gaze shifted, instantly fixing on Flender, and the corner of his mouth slightly curled up: "Flender, our Rongrong hasn't been wronged here, has she? How about we have a good chat privately later?"
The last two words, Chen Xin's tone was extremely heavy.
It's over!
It's completely over!
Seeing Chen Xin's attitude, Flender knew he wanted to pursue the matter, so he could only force a strained, ugly smile: "Grandpa Sword, Rongrong is the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, who here would dare to wrong her?"
As he spoke, Flender didn't forget to give Ning Rongrong a look, but Ning Rongrong pretended not to see it.
What?
Where's that attitude you had before, wanting to control this girl?
Didn't you say a Spirit Master who doesn't cause trouble isn't a good Spirit Master?
I'll show you now what happens when you cause trouble.
Hehe.
Ning Rongrong chuckled mischievously in her heart, and at the same time, her heart warmed slightly.
She didn't expect her Grandpa Sword to stand up for her; she hadn't even planned on it.
Seeing Ning Rongrong ignore his gaze, Flender's hanging heart finally died.
Didn't the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School send a letter saying they could properly temper Ning Rongrong?
Chen Xin: We told you to temper her, but we didn't say we wouldn't mess with you, did we? It's a good time to temper your bones too!
Immediately, Chen Xin also withdrew his gaze, landing it on Xiao Tian in front of him; he hadn't forgotten the purpose of his trip.
In the spiritual space.
"Xiao Tian, are you sure Xiao Wu Jie's aura won't be discovered by this Titled Douluo? And us two as well."
Da Ming's tone held some concern.
Meanwhile, Xiao Wu, who had been extremely nervous the moment she saw Chen Xin, relaxed when she saw that Chen Xin wasn't looking at her strangely, not even glancing her way.
The ring her brother gave her was truly amazing.
"You are the Xiao Tian that Rongrong spoke of, with innate spirit power of level five, but whose own spirit power has already reached Spirit Ancestor? Most importantly, Rongrong told me you possess a very strong Sword Dao talent. Could you show me?"
Chen Xin spoke in as approachable a tone as possible.
He wouldn't doubt anything Rongrong said, but he still needed to confirm it himself; it was simply too astonishing!
Xiao Tian preferred Chen Xin's attitude, so he gave Yu Xiaogang a look, letting him experience it for himself.
Both were making requests of others, but this was the difference.
Although Chen Xin's good attitude was likely due to Ning Rongrong's influence, Xiao Tian didn't care about that at all.
Yu Xiaogang: ???
"Grandpa Sword, you're mistaken! Xiao Tian is already a four-ring Spirit Ancestor!"
Ning Rongrong said excitedly.
"What! A twelve-year-old four-ring Spirit Ancestor? That's not right, Rongrong, when you sent me the message, didn't you say Xiao Tian was only a level thirty-nine Spirit Elder?"
Chen Xin was truly shocked. What kind of Sword Dao talent was this?
Oh, no, is this child's innate spirit power really only level five?
Ning Rongrong simply recounted their trip to the Star Dou Great Forest, but she downplayed and glossed over the part about the guards not acting in time.
The hidden guards also breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time, their favorable impression of Ning Rongrong increased by a few points.
At this moment, Ning Rongrong finally showed a hint of her father Ning Fengzhi's methods.
Since the incident had already occurred, and she was unharmed, rather than letting the Sect punish them, it was better to win over their hearts.
She was, after all, the Sect Master's successor, and needed to start building her reputation from a young age.
Chen Xin was shocked beyond belief when he heard that Xiao Tian dared to act as bait alone in front of two 100,000-year Spirit Beasts, letting everyone else leave first. Was this the courage a twelve-year-old boy should possess?
"Xiao Tian, thank you! Our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School owes you a favor. As long as it's within our capability, just speak your mind!"
Chen Xin's attitude became even more sincere. If this child didn't perish midway, he would surely achieve great things!
This was Chen Xin's evaluation of Xiao Tian.
At the same time, he was even more displeased with Flender and the others, glaring at them fiercely and saying: "How can you call yourselves teachers? To let a twelve-year-old boy who just started cultivating not long ago cover your retreat, where's your face?!"
He and Xiao Tian were both sword cultivators, so to a certain extent, their dispositions were similar.
In his eyes, as a teacher and the strongest among these people, you must step forward and protect the weak!
And in the original work, Sword Dao Chenxin also upheld this belief, choosing to stay behind alone to cover the retreat of others when facing the Spirit Hall's sneak attack on the Sect!
Flender, Zhao Wuji, and the others were so openly reprimanded by Chen Xin that even with their thick skin, they were deeply ashamed and remained silent.
Chen Xin said with some heartache: "Rongrong, why don't you come back to the Sect with me after this? You were just lucky this time, otherwise, the three of us would have been seeing off a younger generation!"
I'll talk to Ning Fengzhi; it's really him, he insisted on letting you suffer a bit outside, and now look, you've suffered, and almost died!"
Chen Xin grew angrier as he spoke, looking as if he was ready to return to the Sect and fight Ning Fengzhi.
Ning Rongrong smiled and shook her head, saying: "Grandpa Sword, please don't say that. I feel like I've gained a lot from this trip."
Ning Rongrong didn't say whether she would return to the Sect. She had finally made friends with Xiao Tian, Xiao Wu, and Zhuqing at Shrek, and she didn't want to leave just like that.
Unless the three of them wanted to leave with her.
Chen Xin, being an experienced person, understood Ning Rongrong's thoughts and knew that she had made some good friends here, so he decided to observe.
However, this time his gaze lingered on Xiao Wu for a few seconds, thinking, was it this little girl who was unwilling to leave, accompanying Xiao Tian to face the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python, two 100,000-year Spirit Beasts, alone?
It seemed her relationship with Xiao Tian was not simple, which made Chen Xin frown slightly.
Judging by his Rongrong's behavior, he had a very good impression of Xiao Tian. After his brief observation, he indeed had extraordinary bearing and was a talent. If Rongrong liked him, he wouldn't object to them being together; he would even wholeheartedly approve!
But in the current situation, it seemed they could only let nature take its course.
And Chen Xin's slight frown was immediately caught by Xiao Wu, who had been observing him in secret, causing her heart to tighten. Could Chen Xin have discovered something?
But she chose to trust Xiao Tian, and quietly stood beside him without making any other moves. She only relaxed when Chen Xin shifted his gaze back to Xiao Tian.
"Please!"
Chen Xin smiled slightly, gesturing to Xiao Tian.
