Paimon looked at Zhongli with some surprise.
In her mind, although Zhongli was a bit of a wanderer, he really knew a lot!
Hearing him say something like that was almost like a dream.
"Not sure?"
Not getting the answer she wanted, Paimon looked at Zhongli with some disappointment and said, "So, there are things you don't understand too?"
Is Zhongli really unsure?
He simply didn't want to say too much.
He knew what had transpired between Shrek Academy and Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
Ning Rongrong wasn't targeting Chi Yu specifically; she was targeting Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
However, what she said was a bit thoughtless.
At this moment, the expressions of the three board members were very unpleasant. They never expected that the troublemakers would turn out to be the Shrek group!
Was it because they were poor hosts?
Even if they wanted revenge, weren't the Shrek group aiming at the wrong target?
Today was supposed to be their disciple acceptance day.
With Shrek causing a scene like this, their good mood vanished instantly.
The three exchanged glances, and a flash of fierce determination appeared in their eyes!
They asked themselves and knew they had done nothing wrong to these people. Even when facing Dugu Bo, they hadn't taken a step back; it was Shrek who chose to leave.
Moreover, when they left, the three board members had bid them farewell politely.
"No wonder it's Shrek Academy, and Qin Ming is indeed a product of Shrek Academy!"
They understood!
Fortunately, these people hadn't stayed at Heaven Dou Imperial Academy; otherwise, they might have raised a pack of ingrates for the Empire!
"Dear disciple, if they really challenge you later, don't show them any mercy!"
Meng Shenji said to Chi Yu through a sound transmission.
Hearing this, Chi Yu glanced at the Shrek group, then at Meng Shenji, and nodded slightly, without showing any obvious reaction.
The matter of sparring on the day of the disciple recruitment had been discussed with her by Meng Shenji and the others. After obtaining her agreement, they had said something along the lines of: "Guests are guests, so take it easy on them and exchange a few more moves with them..."
"Zhongli, poor little Chi Yu~"
As soon as Paimon finished speaking, Ning Fengzhi trembled all over, feeling utterly helpless.
If this little one continued to fan the flames, who knows what a simple slip of the tongue might escalate into?
In any case, it wouldn't be good for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect
"Lord Martial God, Paimon, Chi Yu, board members..."
It wouldn't be like Ning Fengzhi to remain silent any longer.
"I apologize. My daughter spoke out of turn; it was due to my poor upbringing!"
After saying this, Ning Fengzhi bowed slightly to express his sincerity.
"Father?"
Ning Rongrong was stunned, a bit at a loss.
She couldn't understand why Ning Fengzhi was doing this.
She knew that Ning Fengzhi was the head of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the clan was one of the top three sects!
A sect with two Douluo!
Regardless of what others might say, after Ning Fengzhi finished bowing, he continued, "Guards!"
As soon as he said this, several members of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect immediately appeared.
"Take Ning Rongrong back to the clan and confine her. Without my orders, no one is allowed to release her!"
"Yes, Sect Master!"
They quickly agreed and prepared to take Ning Rongrong away.
"Miss, please!"
Others could understand why Ning Fengzhi was doing this, especially the older members of the group.
But the Shrek group didn't understand!
"Wait, uncle!"
"Did Rongrong say something wrong?"
"What right do you have to confine her?"
Ma Hongjun was the first to speak to Ning Fengzhi, his face full of defiance!
What did Ning Rongrong say wrong by cheering for Dai Mubai?
"Yeah, Rongrong was just cheering for Dai Boss. You have no reason to confine her!"
Oscar was a bit more respectful than Ma Hongjun; at least he used the honorific "you."
After all, his affection for Ning Rongrong was no secret at Shrek Academy.
Hearing this, Ning Fengzhi was filled with exasperation. Were these really Ning Rongrong's classmates?
No wonder they managed to offend Zhongli when they first entered the city.
If it weren't for Yu Xiaogang and Tang San, who both have connections with the other two upper sects, he would have already had Ning Rongrong withdraw from Shrek Academy!
Of course, there's also Dai Mubai, the runaway prince of the Star Luo Empire.
These people clearly don't have any sense at all!
Placing Ning Rongrong in confinement and deciding when to release her was entirely up to him, Ning Fengzhi.
If this situation were allowed to escalate, it would be far from simple!
It's almost a certainty that Chi Yu would become a Title Douluo in the future, and adding Zhongli, who is likely at level 99...
"Why?"
Ning Fengzhi looked at the Shrek group with a blank expression and continued, "Because I am Ning Rongrong's father, and I am the Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan!"
"Take her away!"
"Yes, Sect Master!"
The members of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan didn't dare hesitate. The two with the highest spirit power each grabbed one of Ning Rongrong's arms and forcibly took her away.
"How dare you!"
Ning Rongrong tried to struggle, but she was a support-type spirit master; how could she possibly break free?
She shouted angrily, refusing to believe that they would actually confine her.
"Sorry, Miss, but this is the Sect Master's order!"
Even if it meant offending this little troublemaker, they had no choice but to grit their teeth and carry out Ning Fengzhi's orders.
"Hongjun, Oscar, stop talking!"
Flender felt a chill down his spine, cold sweat pouring out.
The rule "If you don't cause trouble, you're a coward" really needs to be revised!
With this level of trouble, how could a mere Spirit Sage like him possibly handle it?
"Teacher (Dean), he's being unreasonable..."
To hell with reason!
He's the Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan; what reason does he need?
Whether he's willing to reason with you depends entirely on his mood, not on whether you want to reason with him!
Flender felt utterly exhausted; these youngsters had truly inherited the academy's tradition of causing trouble, but they were blind to the situation!
Would the Shrek group back down in this situation?
Don't even joke about it!
Even if they were standing at the gates of the Pope's palace, they wouldn't back down!
The three board members saw this and nodded. After all, the other party was the Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, and that girl was his daughter.
Handling the situation in such a public manner was actually giving them face.
"Thank goodness, that girl got the punishment she deserved. Hmph, who told her to want to slap little Chi Yu's face!"
Paimon stood with her hands on her hips, looking gleeful.
"Sect Master Ning, you did the right thing!"
"Poor little Chi Yu, all alone with no one to rely on, and your daughter wanted to slap her? She should be confined without meals!"
"Make her skip three meals!"
"Uh… no, two meals!"
Everyone: "..."
Classic Paimon—so pure it's almost unsettling.
"Just two skipped meals for Ning Rongrong?"
What a "ruthless" heart!
The most severe punishment she could think of was just skipping two meals!
Skipping three meals would have been too much in her mind!
Hearing this, Ning Fengzhi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After spending so much time with them, he had some understanding of Zhongli and Paimon's personalities.
The former appeared to be just a wanderer...
While the latter was a foodie with a kind heart.
The three board members would be easier to deal with; Ning Fengzhi's real concern was Zhongli's attitude!
Seeing Zhongli resume drinking his tea, Ning Fengzhi knew the matter had passed.
"Sect Master Ning, I'm not concerned about this incident. Let's move on."
"Those who wish to challenge me, step onto the stage!"
