Another point is that this location offers a distant view of my home in Tangshan, and vice versa.
With the eyesight of a Soul Master, he could clearly see the Orchid Silver Grass from his home at this distance.
This is probably not a coincidence.
As soon as Jiang Yunzhou got closer, he sensed an extremely faint fluctuation of soul power emanating from it.
He was overjoyed; this must be it.
He slowly approached, wanting to bluff it, so he began his performance.
He reached out and gently stroked the grass: "Ah Yin, you're Ah Yin, right? You know Tang Hao, right?"
"He's something else now, the imposing Haotian Douluo, spending all his time surrounded by women, showing off that he somehow managed to steal a 100,000-year spirit ring. Tsk tsk, he's so domineering, using a 100,000-year spirit ring to pick up girls!"
He made up stories to mess with people's minds.
What? You don't believe me? Then why don't you refute yourself!
At first, the silver grass underfoot showed no reaction.
But as he went on and on, he felt a very slight touch on his ankle by a blade of grass.
Although there was a slight breeze, the sensation was anything but natural!
Jiang Yunzhou grinned, his true intentions revealed: "You think I wouldn't recognize you just because you're playing dead? Let me tell you, your son Tang Shan is dead! I came here specifically to take you to see him!"
These words struck him like a thunderbolt. The silver orchid could no longer pretend. Its leaves began to sway wildly, even wrapping around his ankles with a force that was both grief-stricken and indignant, as if questioning him or pleading for his life.
"Hehe, now there's no escape!"
Jiang Yunzhou smiled smugly and took out a flowerpot he had prepared beforehand. "I was just kidding you. I didn't expect you to be so easily fooled. But now, you can't escape."
As he performed the transplant, he muttered to himself, "Your ex-husband is incredibly annoying. I'm afraid he'll resort to underhanded tactics, so I'm using you as a protective charm. That makes perfect sense, doesn't it?"
"Well, if you don't say anything, I'll take that as a yes."
He was in high spirits after successfully transplanting Ah Yin into a flowerpot, but as he prepared to return home, he felt as if something was missing.
He pondered for a moment, then patted his forehead: "I almost forgot, there seems to be something good in this cave."
He excitedly went into the cave, searching everywhere...
Soon they found a box, and the contents of the box emitted fluctuations of soul power.
"Hahaha~~ Ah Yin, this must be your soul bone, right? Since you don't live here anymore, I'll keep it safe for you for now."
"Well, since you're not saying anything, I'll take that as a yes."
He packed his things and headed straight out of the cave, feeling incredibly happy.
Ah Yin is actually very weak right now and can't withstand any more stress. The entire Orchid Silver Grass is wilting...
Just as Jiang Yunzhou successfully stole the grass and bones, the Supreme Academy welcomed two uninvited guests.
One was a middle-aged man with a refined demeanor and elegant bearing, while the other was extremely tall, shrouded in heavy black armor, his aura deep and imposing, inspiring awe in those who beheld him.
The two were Ning Fengzhi and Gu Douluo Gu Rong, who had rushed here day and night after receiving that extremely urgent letter.
The two stood in front of the academy gate, looking at the somewhat dilapidated courtyard.
"This is the Supreme Academy?" Ning Fengzhi frowned slightly.
“There’s no mistake, I can sense Rongrong’s presence inside,” Gu Rong confirmed.
Ning Fengzhi didn't disbelieve, but he felt that the environment was a bit too bad.
He raised his hand and knocked on the door with restraint.
The two women who were practicing yoga in the courtyard were startled when they heard the noise.
Ning Rongrong tilted her head and asked, "Is the teacher back?"
"It shouldn't be that fast..."
Zhu Zhuqing remained calm, saying, "The teacher said it will take at least two or three days."
Ning Rongrong was too lazy to guess; wouldn't it be clear if she just took a look?
He was so excited that he ran to open the door.
As soon as the door opened, everything went black.
Indeed, he ran headlong into a suit of jet-black, gleaming armor—it was Gu Rong.
"Grandpa Bone?"
She asked in surprise, "What brings you here?"
Seeing Rongrong covered in sweat and with her hair slightly disheveled, Gu Douluo felt a pang of heartache: "Rongrong! What happened to you? Who bullied you? Tell Grandpa Gu, and I'll teach them a lesson!"
"There's no Grandpa Bone here!"
Ning Rongrong quickly waved her hand, "I'm training! How did you find this place?"
Ning Fengzhi coughed lightly and stepped out from behind Gu Rong.
His expression appeared calm, but his eyes had already scanned his daughter up and down several times.
Only then did she notice Ning Fengzhi behind Bone Douluo.
"Oh! Dad, what brings you here too!"
Chapter 46 Please come and save this bunny!
Ning Rongrong exclaimed in surprise.
Her eyes lit up immediately, and she blurted out, "That's right, Dad! Did you bring any money with you this time? Quickly give me a few million to tide me over!"
Ning Fengzhi: "..."
He was speechless for a moment, bewildered in the wind. This little cotton-padded jacket seems to be letting in a bit of wind.
At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing also rushed over upon hearing the noise. Upon seeing the two strange men, she immediately went on high alert.
"Rongrong, who are they?" Any unfamiliar male, other than her teacher, would be enough to trigger her alertness.
"Senior Sister Zhuqing, don't be nervous!"
Ning Rongrong quickly explained, "These are my dad and Grandpa Gu!"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing immediately relaxed and reminded him, "Since they are your family, why do you let them stand outside the door?"
"Oh right, right! Dad, Grandpa Gu, come in and sit down, I'll get you some water." Ning Rongrong finally realized.
Ning Fengzhi and Gu Douluo exchanged a glance, sighed, and stepped into the courtyard.
They felt that Ning Rongrong hadn't changed at all.
And I could feel that the temperament that had settled down was incomparable to that of the past.
After years of living together, even the slightest changes will leave traces.
For some reason, Ning Fengzhi felt a surge of relief.
"Feng Zhi, Rongrong seems to have become stronger!" Gu Rong whispered.
Ning Fengzhi said, "I felt it too."
After they sat down, Ning Fengzhi began his interrogation: "Rongrong, do you know why we are here? Are you hiding something from your father? And what do you want the gold coins for?"
Ning Rongrong's eyes darted around; she had only blurted it out because she was being straightforward.
Need money? What else can you do with it? Planning to support your teacher, what else can you do?
However, she had already guessed why her father and Gu Rong had come here.
But she can't tell!
He thought to himself: Oh no, how am I going to get rid of them?
She looked to Zhu Zhuqing and pleaded telepathically, "Senior Sister Zhuqing, what do we do now? Help me!"
Zhu Zhuqing was also helpless: "Rongrong, does your stomach hurt?"
Ning Rongrong instantly understood this seemingly nonsensical answer.
She immediately clutched her stomach, her face contorted in pain. "Dad, Grandpa Gu, my stomach suddenly hurts so badly, I can't stay with you! You've seen the person, so leave the money and go home now!"
The acting was so exaggerated that it silenced all three people present.
Zhu Zhuqing raised her hand to her forehead, no longer wanting to get involved.
Gu Rong instinctively wanted to step forward and ask, but Ning Fengzhi stopped her with a look.
Only someone who truly loves her would be willing to play along with her even after all this.
"Rongrong..."
Ning Fengzhi's expression darkened slightly. "Stop acting and answer my question."
Seeing that she had been found out, Ning Rongrong decided to throw caution to the wind: "Dad, of course I need money to pay for tuition."
Ning Fengzhi glanced at her. This brat, still pretending to be stupid?
"Let's not talk about money first, you know what I want to ask!"
"Hey, don't force me! I won't say anything without the teacher's permission!"
Ning Fengzhi sighed and stopped pressuring her.
"Okay, then please bring your teacher out so I can talk to him, alright?"
"The teacher is out running errands and isn't here!"
Ning Rongrong, sticking her neck out, added, "My teacher is the best teacher in the world, so don't get any other ideas."
Ning Fengzhi suddenly felt a sense of unease.
Has my daughter run into some scoundrel? This won't do; if he won't let me see her, I absolutely have to.
"Really not here?"
“It’s absolutely true. You can ask Zhu Qing if you don’t believe me!” Ning Rongrong explained.
"Alright, if you don't have anything else, you can go back now. I still need to cultivate."
