Although Ning Fengzhi and others held a grand birthday banquet for her, she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed because her closest brother wasn't by her side.
but,
As she read the birthday wishes letter from Dongfang Jing, a silly smile appeared on her face again.
In the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, apart from not being able to see her brother, her living conditions were impeccable.
They live comfortably, eat well, and have an endless supply of gold soul coins.
She was still young, so Chen Xin and the others took extra care of her.
In addition to cultivating her soul power and learning swordsmanship from Chen Xin every day, she also needs to learn etiquette.
She had originally paid to become a transfer student at Notting College, so she simply went through the withdrawal procedures. The process went smoothly, and Director Su didn't say or ask anything, showing great tact.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has specialized lecturers who teach her a lot of knowledge that she cannot learn in ordinary colleges.
Despite her comfortable life, Dongfang Yao never relaxed her cultivation.
She not only had to show her determination to avenge her brother in public, but she also truly harbored this goal in her heart and would surely achieve it someday in the future!
He carefully folded the letter and put it into the soul tool given to him by Gu Rong.
This storage container is filled with items related to my brother: letters he wrote, his clothes, and meals he cooked.
Although the siblings cannot meet, they manage to communicate by writing letters every day thanks to the twin star vortex.
That morning, Dongfang Yao changed her clothes and jogged along the corridor.
They happened to meet Ning Fengzhi, Gu Rong, and Chen Xin on the way.
She waved and said, "Uncle Ning, Grandpa Gu, Master, I'm going for a run!"
"Be careful on the road," Ning Fengzhi replied with a smile.
Several disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School then secretly followed her, both to protect her safety and to keep an eye on her.
The habit she developed with her brother has allowed Dongfang Yao to maintain the tradition of morning exercise.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School covers a vast area, and she could have run within the school grounds, but she insisted on running around the city, saying that it would feel better.
The three elders did not suspect anything, after all, cultivation methods vary from person to person, and running is also a kind of cultivation. Different environments bring different feelings.
However, Dongfang Yao's purpose in leaving the sect was not limited to this.
Soon, she ran to a secluded pet shop.
"Boss, I'm here!"
"Welcome!" the middle-aged female owner replied before walking into the basement.
Inside the shop, various cats and dogs were kept in cages. Dongfang Yao squatted down and teased them.
Just then, a little monkey ran up from the basement.
In a blind spot where no one was watching, Dongfang Yao slipped more than a dozen ring-shaped storage soul tools into its hand.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has abundant stock, so these small, ring-shaped storage devices are not uncommon.
Although Qibao City is the territory of the sect, some people still secretly engage in certain special transactions.
This shop, which appears to be a pet store, can actually do everything.
As long as you pay, the boss will have access to the channels and will keep it a secret.
The shop owner is a first-ring Soul Master. His Martial Soul, which mutated into a monkey-like Martial Soul, has its own consciousness, similar to Yu Xiaogang's Luo Sanpao.
Dongfang Yao had stored a large number of gold soul coins in the ring beforehand. After the little monkey took the ring, it quickly returned to the basement.
Not long after, he quietly came back up and returned the ring.
After placing them into the Twin Stars, Dongfang Yao probed into them with her soul power.
After confirming that her brother had taken the ring, she left the pet store.
She commissioned her boss to purchase a huge amount of ingredients and seasonings!
Although she was curious as to why her brother needed so many ingredients, she never asked any questions and obediently did as she was told.
Ever since Dongfang Yao left the sect, the disciples who followed her have been tasked with both protecting and monitoring her, and regularly reporting her whereabouts to Ning Fengzhi.
These days, she has indeed been sticking to her daily running training, only occasionally going to the pet store to play with the small animals.
It's perfectly normal for a little girl to like pets; no one would suspect anything.
The disciples who followed him were already used to it, and were even so bored that they yawned.
After Dongfang Yao left,
A disciple walked into the pet shop and placed two gold soul coins on the counter: "Did that girl ask you for something?"
The shady dealings at this shop are hardly a secret.
However, the boss is disciplined and has never harmed anyone or done anything that would damage the sect's interests.
In addition, many people do need such channels. If there are any trivial matters that are inconvenient to do, it is safe to pay this boss to do them. So the sect turns a blind eye.
The proprietress stood up from her chair, put away the gold coins, and shook her head, saying, "No, she just came to see the kittens and puppies."
The disciple nodded coldly and then left.
The proprietress sat down again.
She's not stupid; she knows very well what's important and the difference between a full meal and being full every meal.
As long as the ingredients are prepared in advance, Dongfang Yao will pay tens, hundreds, or sometimes even thousands of gold soul coins each time she visits.
Although the boss was puzzled, why were they being so secretive about these common ingredients?
Moreover, the purchase quantity was a bit too large!
But she always adhered to the rules of the trade, taking money and doing things without asking any questions.
Chapter 96 The Spoiled Ning Rongrong, Dongfang Yao's Breakthrough
After leaving the pet store, I continued running along Qibao City.
When they returned to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Ning Rongrong had already woken up.
She skipped over to Dongfang Yao, took her hand, and said, "Yao'er, will you play with me today? And tell me a new story, okay?"
Dongfang Yao gently shook her head: "I'm sorry, Rongrong, I want to cultivate."
Upon hearing this, Ning Rongrong immediately puffed out her cheeks and flung her hand away: "Cultivation, cultivation! Is that all you know? I don't care, you have to play with me today!"
Hearing these willful words, Dongfang Yao couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.
When she first met Ning Rongrong, she thought she was warm, cheerful, and helpful, and seemed like an easy girl to get along with.
But after spending more time with her, they discovered that this sect leader's daughter was far too spoiled and loved to throw princess-like tantrums.
However, given her status and family background, she certainly deserves the title of "princess".
Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, and Gu Rong also doted on her, which further fueled her temper.
Thinking of this, Dongfang Yao couldn't help but miss her brother.
Dongfang Jing also doted on her, always giving her the best and treating her like a princess!
The moment the thought crossed her mind, she couldn't help but let out a silly, dreamy smile.
"Hey! I'm talking to you! What are you laughing at?" Ning Rongrong stomped her feet in anger.
Grandpa Jian's new disciple is so ungrateful, daring to disobey her orders!
"Rongrong," Dongfang Yao patiently advised, "You should start cultivating soul power early. The younger you are, the faster you will progress. Once you grow up, the rate of improvement will slow down, and without special opportunities, it will be difficult to make a major breakthrough. You can only slowly wait for time to pass."
She always kept her brother's teachings in mind and tried to persuade the young lady.
But Ning Rongrong put on a stern face, completely ignoring all reasoning, and still said domineeringly, "Anyway, you have to play with me! Otherwise..."
"What else?"
Ning Fengzhi's voice suddenly rang out, startling Ning Rongrong.
Turning around, she found that her father, Grandpa Sword, and Grandpa Bone were already standing not far away.
Ning Fengzhi, with a stern face, scolded, "Rongrong, you're so insensible! Instead of cultivating properly, you're going to hinder Yao'er too?"
"I...I just think cultivation is too boring," Ning Rongrong stammered in protest. "Besides, with my talent, what's wrong with playing for a few days? I can cultivate anytime!"
"Insolence!" Ning Fengzhi shouted. "Your talent within the sect is indeed outstanding; you are the most promising genius in hundreds of years to evolve the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda into the Eight Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda! But that doesn't mean you can be arrogant and conceited!"
Chen Xin and Gu Rong stood quietly to the side, surprisingly remaining silent to protect each other this time.
Normally, they would have already stepped in to smooth things over.
Then he continued to pamper Ning Rongrong.
But now there is another well-behaved girl who calls them "Master" and "Grandpa," and this little girl is so diligent and hardworking that any elder would inevitably feel good about her.
She couldn't help but compare her to Ning Rongrong.
The difference is indeed quite significant.
Moreover, Ning Rongrong was indeed in the wrong. Not only did she not cultivate herself, but she also tried to delay others.
"You are seven years old this year, yet you are stuck in the first environmental realm. Do you know Yao'er's brother?"
Ning Fengzhi paused abruptly before he could finish speaking, almost bringing up the "deceased" Dongfang Jing again.
He coughed lightly and changed his words, "Do you know what level Yao'er's soul power is now, just like you?"
The father and daughter were speechless for a moment.
At this moment, Chen Xin spoke up, breaking the silence: "Disciple, come with me to obtain a soul ring."
"Yes, Master." Dongfang Yao jogged over to Chen Xin's side.
Chen Xin looked at her with satisfaction, then suddenly noticed her hair and said, "Disciple, your hair seems to have grown a bit long. Why don't you cut it short? Short hair like Rongrong's looks very energetic."
Dongfang Yao immediately took two steps back, covering her head with her hands: "Absolutely not!"
"Hahaha!" Gu Rong couldn't help but burst into laughter. "You've really gone mad from practicing swordsmanship! Yao'er is a girl, and her hair is very precious to them! Haha, you silly bird!"
Chen Xin then realized what was happening and nodded repeatedly in agreement.
