"Elders! Why don't we take this opportunity to—"
"Shut up! Tang Hao has long since left my Clear Sky Sect. Now he causes trouble again and still wants to come back? Does he think the debts he owed before no longer matter?"
"He brought all of this upon himself!"
...
Inside the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Ning Fengzhi and the others had already returned and were asking the servants about Ning Rongrong's whereabouts.
"Sect Master, Miss Rongrong is currently at Young Master Ye Qiu's residence… just now."
Ning Rongrong had finally stopped trembling. After Xiao Lan's patient explanation, she had gradually calmed down.
She sat in the room, gently rubbing Xiao Lan's soft cheeks.
She cupped Xiao Lan's face, tears streaming down as she nearly wept with joy, then pulled her into a tight embrace.
"Little Blue~ Thank goodness… You're really alright!"
"Sister Rongrong~ It's all Xiaolan's fault. I scared you~"
Xiao Lan silently patted Ning Rongrong's head. Ning Rongrong was becoming more and more like a little adult, her eyes narrowing slightly.
"Sister Rongrong! You should hurry up and get dressed! Otherwise, your brother will come in and see everything! Haha!"
"Mmm!" Ning Rongrong, whose face had been pale before, finally regained a rosy hue and nodded gently.
"Little Blue? Are you done yet?"
From outside, Ye Qiu could hear shouting, crying, laughter, and then silence. He couldn't help urging them on.
Click.
The door opened, and Ning Rongrong stood there.
She had changed into a simple dress. Her eyes were red and swollen, and her face looked tired and fragile.
Noticing Ye Qiu's gaze, she felt both embarrassed and annoyed. Remembering what had happened earlier, her expression hardened, and she glared at him.
"What are you staring at, you jerk?!"
Her ears tinged slightly red. She didn't have any other clothes in her soul tool—this was something she had bought while shopping earlier.
"Ah!? Cough— I, I didn't mean to!"
Ye Qiu hurriedly withdrew his gaze, scratching the back of his head in embarrassment.
"Um… are you alright?"
"I'm… fine. Come in."
Ye Qiu entered the room sideways but didn't see Xiao Lan.
Ning Rongrong sat down on the edge of the bed next to him, leaving only a small distance between them.
Ye Qiu instinctively turned his head away, not knowing where to look.
Looking around, he felt that something was missing.
"Ahem… where's Xiao Lan?"
"Brother~ Xiao Lan is here!"
Xiao Lan's clear voice came from the corner of the room.
"She's changing clothes behind the screen!"
Ning Rongrong pointed toward the screen. Seeing Ye Qiu's slightly flushed expression, a faint, amused smile appeared on her lips.
Hmph! This guy actually has a bit of restraint…
She tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and pulled the blanket closer.
"Changing clothes? What does she need to change—"
"Brother! Little Blue is done! Ta-da!"
A petite figure jumped out from behind the screen, even adding a playful sound effect.
Ye Qiu was momentarily stunned.
Xiao Lan's temperament felt different—no longer just gentle and cute, but lively and spirited, carrying a hint of heroic flair from her past life.
"Hehe! Rongrong bought all of this for me!" Xiao Lan said proudly.
She glanced at Ye Qiu, then suddenly put her hands behind her back and walked seriously to his side, sitting down between the two of them.
Both Ye Qiu and Ning Rongrong looked at her curiously.
"Brother~"
"Hm?" Ye Qiu turned to look at her.
She brushed aside her bangs, a mischievous smile appearing on her face and making Ye Qiu instinctively uneasy.
Before he could react, she leaned in and lightly brushed his lips.
"Little lady~ It tastes good—ah! Brother! Little Blue was wrong!"
"Pfft—hahaha!"
Xiao Lan clutched her forehead, quickly retreating, while Ning Rongrong burst into laughter.
Ye Qiu's expression darkened as he slowly turned to Ning Rongrong.
"You taught her that?"
"W-What nonsense! I never taught her anything like that!" Ning Rongrong retorted between laughs.
Xiao Lan lowered her head, playing with her fingers, her face flushed.
"I… I learned it from the older boys on the street."
"Heh… is that so?" Ye Qiu sneered, raising his hand to flick her forehead.
Before he could even touch her, she cried out first.
"Ah! Brother! It hurts so much~"
"Huh? I didn't even touch you yet?" Ye Qiu said suspiciously.
Xiao Lan shot Ning Rongrong a resentful look, then immediately complained.
"It was Sister Rongrong! She kicked me all the way to the foot of the bed!"
"I—I didn't mean to! I thought Xiao Lan was dead at the time!" Ning Rongrong waved her hands hurriedly, her face red with embarrassment.
It really wasn't her fault. When she had opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was Xiao Lan lying motionless right in front of her.
Startled, she had instinctively flailed—and accidentally kicked her away.
"Come here, let me take a look."
Ye Qiu pulled Xiao Lan into his arms and raised his hand. A faint green light flickered.
However, he didn't notice the fleeting smile on Xiao Lan's face as she leaned against him.
Unfortunately for her, before she could enjoy it for long, Ning Rongrong snapped.
"Ye Qiu! What do you think you're doing?! You beast!"
Seeing where his hand had landed, Ye Qiu immediately pulled back.
Xiao Lan's smug smile froze.
Noticing the lingering cunning in her eyes, Ye Qiu finally realized he'd been tricked.
It had been so long—how could she still be in pain? And she even had two soul skills!
"Hey, Little Blue! You actually dared to lie to me!"
