"I am very optimistic of Tang San; I also believe that by using all of his capabilities and gifts, he will be an outstanding talent in this spirit master world before long. Looking at it, this child is a person who does not like being restrained, but his desire for fame and profit is very small. If not, he wouldn't have gifted those precious herbs to his companions. Regarding this child who could become an extremely strong person, we must only have a good relation with him as in the future he could be of help to us. I even think that it would be a very good option if we can raise the importance of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School by marriage."
"Related by marriage? But didn't Rongrong say that he already had a close female friend?"
Gu Rong said puzzled.
Ning Fengzhi smiled indifferently and said,
"Regardless of how outstanding he may be, he is still only a child, and since he is a child, his will is far from being fixed. Who knows what will change in the future? Don't tell me that my girl is not suitable for him? This is still something to be taken up later, we must first look at this child's development in the next few years. If he is still able to keep up this rapid speed, I naturally will have measures for dealing with the situation. Uncle Bone, after we get back, you must not tell anyone the information you learned today, especially of the possibility of Tang San's Clear Sky School background. I really do not wish for members of Clear Sky School to look for him. Although Tang Hao left Clear Sky Academy, that place was still where he started. Even now, there is certainly no one who would say he isn't one of Clear Sky's pair of Douluos. If Tang San really returned to Clear Sky Academy, that could not be good."
"I know."
Gu Rong nodded his head. He could see, Ning Fengzhi still had some words in his heart that he had not said. However, these words were not important to him; it was only important for Ning Fengzhi, the helmsman of Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda Academy, to clearly see everything.
When Tang San returned to the dormitory, he found that Oscar, Zhu Zhuqing, Ma Hongjun and Xiao Wu were all unexpectedly waiting for him here. Further, once he entered, Ning Rongrong had already ran in from behind him.
"Do you have something you want to ask me?"
Tang San's gaze swept over everyone, his face showing a trace of astringency.
Oscar was the first to shake his head:
"I don't have anything to ask. Your own business is your own to deal with. I only know that you are the third brother of the Shrek Seven Devils."
Ma Hongjun scratched his head:
"I still am not clear of what happened so there is nothing to ask."
On the other side, Zhu Zhuqing said,
"You also have not asked about our origins; everyone has their own secrets which should be considered as their own private information."
Xiao Wu immediately said:
"We are only concerned about you as a person; everything else does not matter. By coming back safe and sound, we are all already relieved."
Ning Rongrong angrily said:
"Xiao Wu, dont tell me that my father would harm Little San? En. Let me tell you a secret: Little San became rich. He sold my father 500 sets of hidden weapons with the total price ending up at about 5 million gold spirit coins."
"What?"
Oscar heard this and immediately jumped off the bed, his face excitedly looking at Ning Rongrong:
"Rongrong, where is the most expensive place in Heaven Dou City?"
Ning Rongrong stared blankly:
"What are you going to do?"
Oscar pointed his finger at Tang San and said:
"Obviously beating the local tyrant and dividing the land."
Ning Rongrong laughed:
"If you plan on beating a tyrant, then you will have to wait a few days. Can't you see how tired third brother is? You should try and endure a Spirit Douluo's power for that long."
Oscar mischievously looked at Tang San:
"Anyways, he is in the same dorm as me so he cannot run. Okay, since little San is tired, you should head back and let little San rest."
One after another everyone nodded; Xiao Wu looked at Tang San with an extremely troubled expression. However at the moment, Tang San's state of mind was extremely disordered and did not respond to her gaze.
Once Oscar and the other left the dorm, the only one remaining was Tang San.
Sitting on the bed, he felt the sunlight on his body bringing a sense of warmth, but his heart was still extremely confused.
Father. Where are you? Who can tell me what is going on? What everyone has said is so contradictory: if his father was born in Clear Sky School and even was one of Clear Sky School's two Douluos, then why did he degenerate into a drunkard? From childhood, he did not mention his information pertaining to his spirit. The only thing he left him was that simple forging skill and the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer Method.
His father had been missing for 8 years, what was he doing? Why is it that even now he hadn't come to find him? Tai Tan his Strength Clan left the Clear Sky School for his father. From this it is possible to see that when his father left Clear Sky School, it was most likely that he had a disagreement with the school that made him leave. This disagreement was among the most important points. Where did this disagreement come from? How his mother also die? Perhaps all of these crucial points are all related to his mother.
Alone in the silent room, Tang San slowly arranged all the information he learned today in his head and gradually made an outline. However at the moment, it was still impossible to make anything out of it and he was unable to figure out what the crucial point was.
It was when Tang San was in the room racking his brains, when Oscar was carrying out one of the most important events of his lifetime.
After exiting the dorm, Xiao Wu harbouring thoughts went back to her room, Zhu Zhuqing went back to her daily cultivation and at Oscars 'suggestion', Fatty also left. At the moment, there was only Oscar accompanying Ning Rongrong at her side.
"Rongrong, I did not realize that you would come back so quick. What are you going to do now?"
Oscar smiled while remarking.
Ning Rongrong was a bit at a loss and said:
"Even I do not know. I feel like cultivating, but I cannot stop thinking. Father made me leave so I do not know what he and grandpa Bone are talking about. Perhaps they are still talking with Teacher Zhao. Is it bad that I came back so quick?"
Without the slightest hesitation, Oscar said:
"Of course it's good. You don't know this, but when you left, I feared that your father would not let you come back. That certainly…"
"What?"
Ning Rongrong stopped walking and somewhat suspiciously looked at Oscar.
Before Ning Rongrong came back, Oscar had already summoned the courage, but right now in front of Ning Rongrong, looking at her pink small face, he did not know why, but all the courage had left him.
"Why don't you say it! A big boy shouldn't be this effeminate."
Unable to bear it any longer, Ning Rongrong kicked Oscar.
Oscar finally mustered the courage:
"Rongrong, can you give me an answer?"
"Give you an answer?"
Ning Rongrong suddenly jumped, already conscious of what this was about. Females are inherently keen and are mature faster than men. Looking at Oscar's peach blossom eyes full of peculiarity, her heartbeat immediately sped up.
"That's right, give me an answer. If not, I will also give up. Everyday when we are together, we don't think of this, but when you left, although it was only for a day, I felt as if I were sitting on pins and needles. All I could think about was you. If there really will be a day when you leave my side, I don't know what I would become. It is better to just get the pain over with, rather than prolong the agony. If you don't have any feelings for me, then please reject me now. I know that the feeling of rejection will hurt me for a period of time, but it is still better than pain for all my life."
Listening to Oscar, Ning Rongrong couldn't help but widen her eyes. She found that today's Oscar not only had worn a clean and tidy shirt, but also had shaved his beard to make it neat. Although those peach blossom eyes expressed seriousness, they also gave people a feeling of being dazzled and stunned. His handsome face couldn't help but resonate within her heart.
"You… Why are you talking about this. Right now we are still young."
Ning Rongrong somewhat in a state of panic lowered her head, refusing to look at Oscar's gaze. Her heart and mind were like deer colliding and for a moment she did not know what to do.
Oscar raised his hands and grabbed Ning Rongrong's slender shoulders:
"Rongrong, look at me. All I need is an answer. No matter what the answer is I can handle it. If we really wait until we are older, I'm afraid I will not be able to handle it then."
It would appear that he gave Ning Rongrong a very easy choice: Receive my intentions, or reject my intentions.
"But…"
Ning Rongrong heart was already confused and disordered so much that it was even more so that Tang San's. Feeling Oscar's presence, she really could not reject him, but at the same time, she also could not say yes. She knew that although her father doted on her, as well as two Grandpas protecting her, when it came to family customs, her father would not give leeway.
"Your heart still has a place for me, right or wrong?"
Looking at Ning Rongrong's both welcoming and refusing demeanor, Oscar could not help but blurt out.
"I…"
Ning Rongrong wished she could reject Oscar. Looking at it logically, she knew that there was no way she could be with him, but when she looked at the fiery gaze Oscar's peach blossom eyes emitted, her spirit felt it was comforted and she was unable to refuse him.
"Rongrong, your heart still has a place for me, right or wrong? If you don't say anything then it could be a yes, but it could also be a no. Fine, I won't force you… I won't force you. Right now I am still young. All you have to do is let me know that I still have a chance. That much is enough. Dont worry, I will try my best. Although I don't have any background, I will definitely rely on my own effort to earn your father's approval and let him marry you to me."
