<Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.>
In the hall.
"My little princess, don't be angry. Your father should be back soon." Bone Douluo Gu Rong put down his teacup and said to Ning Rongrong.
"Hmph." Ning Rongrong made a dissatisfied sound, ignoring her Grandpa Gu's words. In her heart, she was still throwing a little tantrum, but her eyes occasionally glanced towards the direction of the entrance.
She came back to the sect this time to report to her father, Ning Fengzhi, about her martial Spirit mutating into a Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, and also to show off her cultivation progress during the time she was away. Normally, Ning Rongrong's father always criticized her for being lazy and wasting her innate level nine top-class cultivation talent. But this time, Ning Rongrong only spent a year outside and managed to raise her Spirit power by ten levels, reaching the height of level 37.
To be precise, she came back this time to show off and blind her father's eyes. Although her two grandpas treated her very well, she still wanted her father to be the first to know about it.
Seeing Ning Rongrong still throwing a tantrum, Gu Rong smiled kindly and said, "Rongrong, you're not a child anymore. You also know that your father is the sect master and cannot be idle all the time. You have to understand him."
Ning Rongrong retorted, "As the sect master, why does he have to wander around instead of staying in the sect? What important matter requires him to bring Grandpa Sword along?"
"Uh..."
Gu Rong was speechless and didn't know how to answer her question. Indeed, Ning Fengzhi didn't go out for any important matter this time. He couldn't say that her father went to Heaven Dou City to have fun, right?
Moreover, only Ning Rongrong would dare to talk like this to a Super Douluo. Even Ning Fengzhi had to speak respectfully to Gu Rong. But Ning Rongrong's spoiled personality was mostly shaped by Gu Rong and Chen Xin. They treated Ning Rongrong as their precious darling and were afraid of spoiling her too much.
Seeing that her lecture mode wasn't effective, Gu Rong immediately switched to indulgent mode.
"Rongrong, what you said is right. As the sect master, it's not appropriate for him to wander outside and neglect his responsibilities within the sect. How can he manage the sect and set an example if he's never around? When your father comes back, Grandpa will talk to him." Gu Rong said with a serious face.
Hearing Gu Rong's words, Ning Rongrong thought that he really wanted to scold her father, so she quickly said, "Grandpa Gu, I was just joking~"
"Do you really not want me to scold him on your behalf?"
"No, really don't. I'm not a child anymore, and as the sect master, my father must have many things to do. I was just joking earlier." Ning Rongrong shook her head and waved her hand.
Seeing her like this, Gu Rong couldn't help but feel emotional. Rongrong has really grown up.
However, your father did go out to have fun. Gu Rong silently criticized in his heart as he looked at Ning Rongrong.
"By the way, Grandpa Gu, where is Little Yan Que? I'm going to find Little Yan Que to play. I won't wait for my father." Ning Rongrong suddenly thought of Yan Que's figure and got up from the sofa.
It's been half a year since she last saw Yan Que. She didn't know how she was doing now.
When Ning Rongrong thought of Yan Que, his figure involuntarily appeared in her mind.
"Little Yan Que? She should be cultivating with your Grandpa Sword." Gu Rong said, and couldn't help but sigh. Yan Que is really hardworking. As a nine-year-old child, he couldn't see any childlike innocence in her. She seemed like an adult, completely capable of taking care of herself, independently cultivating without supervision. Moreover, she dedicated nearly half of her day to cultivation.
Gu Rong felt a pang of heartache upon seeing this. But it was because of her hard work that she achieved such formidable strength. Among the Spirit Masters in the sect, there was no one in the same level who could be her opponent.
Yan Que also mentioned that she had reached the level of Spirit Master within just one year. Achieving such progress in just one year was not only due to her talent and powerful martial Spirit but also her diligent practice.
When Ning Rongrong was nine years old, she was still causing troubles in the sect all day long.
Unfortunately, such a talented person turned out to be Chen Xin's grand disciple. This made Gu Rong feel extremely unbalanced. It was clear that he was lucky to get such a talented disciple, but he didn't expect that he would even have a disciple with such an extraordinary talent, a talent that couldn't be compared to even a few people on the whole continent.
The most important thing was her mature and firm mentality, which Gu Rong considered more important than talent.
Yes, he was jealous. Why did all the good things happen to that guy?
Although Gu Rong and Chen Xin had a very good relationship, they were more like friends who liked to tease each other. They would show off their good fortune to each other and enjoy mocking and teasing when the other was jealous. But when the other was truly in trouble, they would help without hesitation.
Because of this, Gu Rong has already lost count of how many times that bastard Chen Xin had flaunted his disciples in front of him.
Damn it! I have to find a disciple with an even stronger talent than his.
Thinking of Chen Xin's annoying face, Gu Rong gritted his teeth and made up his mind.
"Little Yan Que is with Grandpa Sword? Then I'll go find her to play now." Ning Rongrong's unhappy mood dissipated, and she turned and walked towards the entrance.
"I heard our little witch has returned? Where is she? Rongrong, come out quickly, let your dad see."
Ning Rongrong had just taken a few steps when she heard a familiar voice from outside the door. Then the door opened, and it was Ning Fengzhi, along with Sword Douluo Chen Xin.
Seeing her father, Ning Rongrong couldn't help but be stunned.
"What's wrong? Little girl, after being away for so long, you don't even recognize your own dad?" Ning Fengzhi looked at his daughter and smiled.
Seeing her father, Ning Rongrong was naturally very happy, but she wanted to get back at him for making her wait so long. So she deliberately showed a slightly moved emotion, and her eyes became slightly teary as she ran towards Ning Fengzhi.
He's still a child! Heh heh.
Ning Fengzhi saw his daughter's expression and concluded that she had missed him after being away for so long and wanted to give him an embrace filled with longing. So Ning Fengzhi smiled and opened his arms, waiting for his darling daughter to throw herself into his embrace and pour out her longing.
However...
What he expected didn't happen. Ning Fengzhi stood dumbfounded as he watched his daughter run past him.
Ning Rongrong completely ignored her father and went straight to the white-robed old man behind him, throwing herself into his embrace. "Grandpa Sword, Grandpa Sword, I missed you so much."
This daughter, she's really mischievous.
Seeing his daughter hugging Chen Xin, Ning Fengzhi's eyes twitched a few times, feeling a little awkward standing there.
Chen Xin quickly hugged her small body and kindly said, "My little treasure, you're finally back. Grandpa missed you so much, couldn't bear it."
"Really?" Ning Rongrong looked up at her Sword Grandpa and asked.
Chen Xin solemnly replied, "Of course, it's true. Don't believe me? Ask your Grandpa Gu."
Ning Rongrong blinked her clear eyes mischievously and said cunningly, "But Grandpa Gu just told me that he missed me more than you did."
"He's talking nonsense!" Chen Xin didn't give any face to Gu Rong. "Clearly, I miss you more."
Now, Gu Rong was displeased. How could he lose face in front of his beloved granddaughter?
"That's bullshit! I miss Rongrong more than you!" Gu Rong suddenly stood up from the sofa, opened his eyes wide, and stared at Chen Xin with an unwavering momentum.
"Oh? It seems like you're really dissatisfied. Come on, let's find a place to fight one-on-one." Chen Xin rolled up his sleeves, puffed out his chest, and stared fiercely at the other.
"Alright! Today, I'll let you see who misses Rongrong more!" Gu Rong accepted the challenge and glared back at Chen Xin, showing no weakness.
On the side, Ning Fengzhi watched the two elders arguing over such trivial matters and couldn't help but feel speechless. Honestly, saying such things is really embarrassing, isn't it?
