Chapter 98: Ning Rongrong Leaves Home
If Ning Rongrong's spirit had not yet evolved into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, the sect might have let her go out to train.
Although she was exceptionally talented at that time, her potential was already capped; she could only cultivate to level 79 at most, making her replaceable.
But now she was the only support Soul Master in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect with the potential to become a Titled Douluo, so letting her leave the sect was not that easy.
Although Gu Rong was the second-strongest expert in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, he didn't dare make the decision to let Ning Rongrong go out and gain experience on behalf of Ning Fengzhi.
When Ning Rongrong saw that Gu Rong refused, she was so angry she wanted to pluck out his few remaining whiskers.
"Grandpa Bone~" Ning Rongrong tugged at Bone Douluo's sleeve and acted coquettishly.
"Alright, Rongrong, don't make things difficult for me. If you want to go out and gain experience, you need your father's permission!" Bone Douluo said.
"Sigh~" Ning Rongrong sighed, as if she had already guessed this outcome.
However, she was not discouraged and was fully believed she could persuade Ning Fengzhi.
She could lie and say that the person who gave her the information about the Immortal Herb had asked her to go out and gain experience.
Ning Fengzhi was still collecting information about the Immortal Herb, so there was no way he wasn't interested. He would definitely agree to let her go.
After a while, Zhu Zhuqing finally succeeded in absorbing the spirit ring and broke through to become a Soul Elder.
"Hiss, level 34 soul power? Did I misjudge?" Bone Douluo exclaimed.
He had thought Ning Rongrong was already a once-in-a-century genius, but he didn't expect there to be others even stronger.
Even a genius like Ning Rongrong only broke through to level 32 in soul power after absorbing a spirit ring.
Yet this Zhu family girl's soul power was actually two levels higher than Ning Rongrong's.
"Rongrong, these two are both very good. You can try to befriend them!" Bone Douluo transmitted his voice.
Although they couldn't recruit the two into the sect, it wouldn't hurt to build good relationships with them.
"I understand, Grandpa Bones!"
Ning Rongrong also sensed that Zhu Zhuqing's soul power was higher than her own. Although she did not know the exact level, she could not deny her excellence.
Born into the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, she naturally knew what she should do.
After absorbing the spirit ring, Zhu Zhuqing stood up, glanced at Qi Tian, and thanked Ning Rongrong.
Even without Ning Rongrong's help, Qi Tian would still have helped her hunt the spirit beast.
However, Ning Rongrong's spirit skill had allowed her to understand her next direction of cultivation, so she was still very grateful to Ning Rongrong.
Yet Zhu Zhuqing was aloof and simply offered a dry thank you.
Ning Rongrong didn't mind. She took out a jade pendant and handed it to Qi Tian.
"Tian Qi, Zhu Qing, these are the sect tokens of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect! You are welcome to visit the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect anytime!"
"Our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has merchant guilds all over the continent. If you encounter difficulties, you can take the token to the local merchant guild to ask for help."
Qi Tian accepted the token and said, "Thank you, we will!"
Seeing this, Bone Douluo didn't let Ning Rongrong disturb Qi Tian and Zhu Zhuqing any further and left Sunset Forest with her.
As soon as they left, the pressure on Zhu Zhuqing disappeared, and she felt much more relaxed.
"Qi Tian, why did you use an alias just now? Is there something wrong with this Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?" Zhu Zhuqing asked curiously.
Qi Tian shook his head and said truthfully, "I once used the Out Of Body skill on Ning Rongrong, just like I did to you."
"Therefore, I cannot reveal my real name in front of her. Otherwise, if Bone Douluo attacks me, I won't be able to resist!"
Zhu Zhuqing was taken aback. Although she had long suspected that Qi Tian had probably used Out Of Body on more than just her, when she heard Qi Tian say he had also used it on Ning Rongrong, it was impossible for her not to feel jealous.
The fact that he used that skill on Ning Rongrong meant he had also taken liberties with Ning Rongrong's body, just as he had with hers.
"Ning Rongrong must have a good figure, right?" Zhu Zhuqing placed her hand on Qi Tian's waist.
Qi Tian subconsciously commented, "Her figure isn't as good as yours, but her skin is nice—soft, tender, and with a hint of tulip fragrance…"
"Ouch It hurts" Qi Tian suddenly felt a pain in his waist.
Zhu Zhuqing grabbed the soft flesh around his waist and twisted it 180 degrees.
Qi Tian possessed a body-type spirit but dared not resist; his keen senses, however, made the pain even more acute.
"Zhuqing, are you jealous?" Qi Tian wrapped his arms around her.
"Hmph~" Zhu Zhuqing let go, her anger having subsided considerably.
"I'm not jealous. If you want to be with Ning Rongrong, just go for it. I won't stop you!" Zhu Zhuqing said coldly.
"How could that be? Right now I'm only with you!" Qi Tian said.
Ning Rongrong had too much power behind her, and Qi Tian couldn't be sure whether she was on the side of the sect or on his side, so he didn't plan to do anything to her for the time being.
Unlike Zhu Zhuqing, who had betrayed her family to follow him—she truly had nothing but him.
Zhu Zhuqing was no longer angry; perhaps she had long anticipated this day would come.
What she had said just now was sincere; the fact that Qi Tian had other women around him only proved he was powerful enough.
However, those women could not be disreputable, and they must also be approved by her!
This was the kind of education she had received from childhood, because their marriage partner was royalty—how could an emperor have only one empress?
If Qi Tian could win over a woman as outstanding as Ning Rongrong, it would only further prove she had chosen the right.
Yet Zhu Zhuqing also felt great pressure. What if she was too weak and couldn't control the women around Qi Tian?
"Hmph, it's all this guy's fault!"
In a fit of anger, Zhu Zhuqing grabbed Qi Tian's soft flesh at the waist and twisted it 180 degrees again.
...
Three months later, at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo hid in the shadows, watching Ning Rongrong sneak away from the sect's ancient castle.
"Sect Master, are we just going to let Rongrong leave like this?" Gu Rong asked with some concern.
Ning Fengzhi sighed and said, "Girls grow up and leave home; Rongrong's heart isn't in the sect. It's better to let her go; it will even help her cultivation!"
"I have already followed the sect's rules and sent several guards to secretly follow her. She will be fine."
Sword Douluo chimed in, "Rongrong is exceptionally intelligent; traveling will benefit her development!"
Ning Fengzhi nodded. Rongrong had confessed to him that a powerful figure had been secretly guiding her, which allowed her spirit to evolve.
Could a powerful figure that even Sword Douluo couldn't detect be ordinary?
Training alongside such a powerful figure might be the most suitable way for Ning Rongrong to cultivate.
His only worry was that such a powerful figure would definitely not be unknown; he might come from Spirit Hall.
If Ning Rongrong became a disciple of a powerful figure in Spirit Hall, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect might become a vassal of Spirit Hall.
"Fine, let's trust in the wisdom of the younger generation. If Rongrong can be granted a title, it proves she's better than me!"
