บท 3185: Chapter 3170: Gimmick_1

The surrounding Sect Disciples were just about to answer, but it seemed they thought of something and closed their mouths again…

The Sect Master wasn't really asking them; answering at a time like this wasn't the smart thing to do!

Sure enough, Ning Rongrong blinked her Beautiful Eyes and covered her mouth with a light giggle, "Daddy, why don't you take a guess? If you guess right, I'll tell you."

Ning Fengzhi was somewhat astonished. "Guess right and you'll tell me? Is there a problem with that?"

But quickly, he continued, "Well, let me guess. You and the Sect Disciples must have gone to a place far away from the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect."

Seeing this, Ning Rongrong's expression subtly changed…

The former immediately knew he had not guessed wrong and carried on pondering, "Then, it must have been some sect, right?"

Ning Rongrong visibly pouted, clearly not planning to answer…

Ning Fengzhi pressed his lips together, "It seems it's not a sect. Then, it must be some academy, and most likely an obscure and little-known academy!"

Finally, a change came over Ning Rongrong's face, and she exclaimed in astonishment, "Daddy, how did you know we went to some academy?"

The next second, she glared fiercely at the Sect Disciples behind her, "Did you guys tell Daddy??"

This scene frightened everyone into vehemently shaking their heads in denial…

"Rongrong, we didn't tell the Sect Master, he guessed it all on his own!"

"That's right, that's right, we've been following you the whole way, we never had a chance to tell the Sect Master!"

"Yes, the Sect Master's discerning insight should come as no surprise that he guessed it!!"

Hearing these answers, Ning Rongrong crossed her arms and asked suspiciously, "Is that really so?"

The Sect Disciples only felt the pressure mount, unsure of what to say next…

After all, who would have known the Sect Master could guess so accurately!

At this moment, Ning Fengzhi suddenly interrupted, "Rongrong, stop bothering them. It was indeed Daddy who guessed it!"

Ning Rongrong looked at him for several seconds before sighing, "Alright, Daddy, you're right. We did indeed go to an unknown academy called Shrek Academy!"

Upon this answer, Ning Fengzhi himself couldn't help but be stunned…

"Shrek Academy? I don't seem to have heard of this name before!"

He had a general understanding of the sects and academies on the Soul Land Continent, but there was no such academy in his memory!

Thinking this, he subconsciously glanced toward Chen Xin and Gu Rong…

"Uncle Bone, Uncle Sword, have you ever heard of Shrek Academy?"

Upon hearing the question, Chen Xin and Gu Rong looked at each other and shook their heads…

"Feng Zhi, as you know, we have no interest in the sects on the Continent, especially those with little renown!"

"However, since Rongrong went to this Shrek Academy, it must be for a good reason, right?"

Ning Rongrong proudly straightened her chest and answered, "Of course, Shrek Academy may not be well-known, but they only recruit geniuses!"

"Let me think… that's right, apparently, one needs to be at least twelve years old with a Soul Power rank of twenty or above!!"

As soon as she said this, it was like a bolt from the blue, causing Ning Fengzhi's face to reveal shock…

"What? You must reach a Soul Power rank of twenty by the age of twelve to join? Isn't that a higher requirement than even the top institutions on the Soul Land Continent?"

He even started to wonder if he was hearing things!!

Chen Xin scoffed with disdain, "Hmph, it's probably just a gimmick. How dare an insignificant academy even pose such recruitment standards!!"

Gu Rong nodded in agreement, "That's right, such minor academies are not fit for you, Rongrong. If you really want to join an academy, you have the pick of the top institutions across the Continent!!"

With the reputation of the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect, no matter which top-tier academy it may be, they would have to give some respect!

Ning Rongrong responded with a smile, "Uncle Bone, Uncle Sword, I am merely curious about Shrek Academy at the moment, I am not planning to join any academy!"

Seeing this, Ning Fengzhi pressed on, "Rongrong, can you tell Daddy what Shrek Academy is like?"

"For instance, the location of the academy, the overall strength of the headmaster and the teachers..."

He personally believed that Shrek Academy must have some foundation to be able to set such high admission standards!

Otherwise, wouldn't that be deceiving themselves and others?

Upon hearing this, Ning Rongrong's face flushed slightly, "Um... how should I put it, Shrek Academy is just situated in a remote area of a kingdom!"

"Overall, it's okay, I guess..."

She really did not have the courage to fully describe Shrek Academy!

Seeming to notice this, Ning Fengzhi turned his gaze toward the Sect Disciples...

Everyone immediately understood and started saying, "You see, Sect Master, Rongrong is being a bit modest. Shrek Academy is simply terrible to the extreme. Saying it's the poorest academy on the entire Continent wouldn't be too much!"

"That's right, that's right, not only is the land rented from the surrounding villages, but the teachers also don't look like much!"

"Shrek Academy is just using this gimmick to make golden soul coins; it really isn't worth mentioning!"

"Speaking of this academy, I feel that even stepping inside is an insult to a Soul Master!"

Ning Fengzhi's mouth twitched...

He certainly didn't think these Sect Disciples would lie to him!

Perhaps, Shrek Academy was truly as bad as they described it to be!

"Rongrong, is that really the case??"

Ning Rongrong lowered her head and ran her fingers through the hair by her ear, "Daddy, haven't you already heard everything??"

Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi then shook his head in disappointment, "It seems that Shrek Academy is indeed just a bunch of swindlers, out to make golden soul coins."

He shouldn't have held any hopes for something like Shrek Academy!

Chen Xin interrupted impatiently, "Feng Zhi, let's forget about Shrek Academy. Even if it does have some foundation, I wouldn't let Rongrong go to such a place!"

Gu Rong also spoke in a deep voice, "Agreed, Rongrong is the little princess of the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect. Even if she were to join an academy, it couldn't possibly be such a rubbish one!!"

"Let's talk about something else now."

With that, he signalled the Sect Disciples with his eyes...

The crowd instantly grasped the hint, nodded briefly, and then quickly left...

The following matters had nothing to do with them anymore!!

Regaining his composure, Ning Fengzhi said nonchalantly, "Hmm, Uncle Bone, Uncle Sword, you're right. Let's not waste any more time on Shrek Academy!"

"Rongrong, having been away for so long, you must be hungry, right? Let's go have something to eat??"

When there's time, he would send someone to conduct a simple investigation!

Ning Rongrong's eyes lit up, "Yeah! Daddy, you have no idea, the food outside is just too awful, nothing beats our Seven Treasures Glaze Sect!"
