Soul Land: Bibi Dong Is My Martial Soul

Chapter 70: Ning Fengzhi's Reply

The one who slipped into Su Mo's room was none other than Ning Rongrong. She had promised earlier that day to be Su Mo's pillow for the night.

The next morning, feeling refreshed, Su Mo sought out Tang San and asked him to forge a Soul Hunting Spear from a lightweight material so that Ning Rongrong could practice her marksmanship.

Ning Rongrong was indeed passionate about learning marksmanship, frequently seeking extra lessons from Su Mo for personal training sessions.

"Flender, I think we need to inform the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect about what's going on between Su Mo and Ning Rongrong," Yu Xiaogang said with a serious expression as he approached Flender one day.

"Oh? And why is that?"

Seeing Yu Xiaogang's stern look, Flender immediately took the matter seriously, though he wasn't sure what Yu Xiaogang was getting at.

"What do you think the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's reaction will be when they find out their little princess has taken a liking to Su Mo?" Yu Xiaogang asked, not giving a direct answer.

"Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's reaction? And what does that have to do with us?" Flender still didn't quite grasp the point, thinking that Ning Rongrong's romantic preferences were unrelated to the academy.

"Is that so? Do you think the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would be happy to see Ning Rongrong fall for Su Mo and ultimately allow the two to be together?" Yu Xiaogang continued. "If Su Mo had talent comparable to Shrek's other students, I wouldn't worry. Each one of them would be a match for Ning Rongrong. But do you think Su Mo measures up?"

"When it comes to choosing partners, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect not only requires that they be battle soul masters, but also that they can protect their partner."

"Right now, Su Mo can protect Ning Rongrong, but what about in the future? The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is bound to consider that."

"Especially now, with Su Mo and Ning Rongrong having their own martial soul fusion technique."

"If we inform the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect about the situation now, the decision will be theirs."

"But if we keep silent and allow things between Su Mo and Ning Rongrong to develop, it won't be easy for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to separate them later. And when that time comes, don't you think they might hold Shrek responsible for allowing their little princess to get involved with someone of mediocre talent?"

Seeing that Flender still hadn't grasped the full gravity of the situation, Yu Xiaogang broke it down step by step.

As Yu Xiaogang spoke, Flender's expression grew increasingly serious.

"You're right. I almost overlooked this," Flender admitted. "If the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect ends up blaming us, we wouldn't be able to bear the consequences."

"Ah, if I'd known it would lead to this, we shouldn't have accepted Su Mo in the first place!" Flender sighed. "If Ning Rongrong had fallen for someone like Ma Hongjun, we wouldn't be having this problem."

After hearing Yu Xiaogang's reasoning, Flender finally agreed.

"In any case, notify the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect as soon as possible."

Seeing that Flender had finally understood the seriousness of the situation, Yu Xiaogang's eyes flashed with a subtle smile as he replied, "Of course. I'll write a letter to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect immediately."

Realizing the importance of the matter, Flender didn't waste any time. He took out some paper and began writing.

"Xiaogang, you're really just using the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to try to push Su Mo out, aren't you?"

In a hidden spot nearby where she couldn't be seen by Yu Xiaogang and Flender, Bibi Dong observed the sly smile on Yu Xiaogang's face and let out a faint, cold humph.

"Too bad for you—you don't know that Su Mo has already earned the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's approval!"

"In the end, you're just wasting your time," she thought, mocking him inwardly.

To be honest, Bibi Dong's feelings towards Yu Xiaogang were quite complicated now.

In the past, she had been deeply in love with Yu Xiaogang, almost to the point of obsession. But as she began noticing more and more of Yu Xiaogang's flaws, she found herself unable to let him go, though she no longer admired him blindly.

"Hmm…"

"Looks like Bibi Dong is finally starting to change her view of Yu Xiaogang; she's even begun mocking him now!"

Su Mo, who had also witnessed this scene and overheard Bibi Dong's remarks, found himself rather amused.

He'd been observing Bibi Dong's gradual transformation all along.

However, Su Mo felt a twinge of disappointment that, even after seeing so many of Yu Xiaogang's shortcomings, Bibi Dong still couldn't completely let go of him. She still held onto some lingering feelings for him.

He wondered if Bibi Dong would ever truly break free of her attachment.

…

A few days later, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect received Flender's letter.

"Well, it seems Shrek Academy knows to be considerate enough to inform us about Rongrong's situation!"

"But clearly, they don't realize that this Su Mo, whom they think is lacking in talent, is actually an exceptional genius!"

After reading Flender's letter, Ning Fengzhi laughed.

He then penned a brief reply to Shrek Academy.

…

"What does this mean?"

"Xiaogang, you're usually the clever one. What do you think the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect means by this?"

"This reply is just so short!"

In the Shrek Academy headmaster's office, Flender held Ning Fengzhi's response in his hand, looking utterly perplexed.

"Let me see!"

With a confident expression, Yu Xiaogang grabbed the letter from Flender's hand.

The reply contained only one short line:

"Thank you, Shrek, for informing us!"

But because it was so brief and vague, Flender couldn't determine what the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect intended by it.

"This…"

However, when Yu Xiaogang saw the single line on the letter, his confident expression froze.

"Pfft—"

At this point, Bibi Dong, who had read the letter as well, couldn't help but chuckle.

"Haha, Ning Fengzhi's reply is just too funny!"

"I never expected that Ning Fengzhi would have such an adorable side!"

Bibi Dong laughed heartily.

Ning Fengzhi's response was formal, composed, and very much in line with his personality. But Bibi Dong found it amusing, especially given Flender and Yu Xiaogang's bewildered expressions. She could barely contain her laughter, almost ready to burst out.

Perhaps it was simply that Ning Fengzhi's reply seemed so indifferent!

"Xiaogang, what do you think Sect Master Ning's reply actually means?"

Seeing Yu Xiaogang's reaction, Flender could only press him further.
