--- Chapter 83 ---
At this very moment, someone's eyes are sparkling.
And it's none other than Ning Rongrong's eyes.
Ning Rongrong and Ning Fengyuan have taken seats on the opposite sofa, but the little girl's eyes never leave Han Yuan for good reason.
Liu Erlong was amused, "So, I think we know why Lady Fengyuan is here, right? After all, Clan Leader Fengzhi has agreed to our matter."
Ning Fengyuan's mouth twitched slightly as she replied, "Of course, I am here to teach Xiao Yuan the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan's Technique, Heart Separation Control."
"However, as you can see, our young lady also came along with me as the Clan Leader believed it was okay for children their ages to meet."
"I hope Dean Erlong doesn't see this as an offense."
'Cunning woman!' Liu Erlong played it cool. She knew very well why Ning Fengzhi sent his daughter well.
She gave Ning Rongrong a friendly smile, "Haha, you're right. Xiao Yuan didn't have many friends around his age, and of course, I won't take offense on such small matters."
"Our Dao Academy has enough rooms for two people."
"I'm glad to hear that." Ning Fengyuan nodded, feeling a little victorious inside.
Han Yuan heard these two women going at each other and said, "Well, the academy will be holding summer camp soon. If Rongrong wanted to, she could join alongside our first batch students."
"What if... What if I wanted to join the academy instead?" Ning Rongrong felt this place wasn't dull anymore, especially with Han Yuan.
Han Yuan smiled and replied, "Unfortunately, you can only do that with a special admission, Rongrong."
"Our academy only enrolled new students every six months, and that's roughly five months later."
"What is a special admission?" Ning Rongrong tilted her head.
Han Yuan explained patiently, "Special admissions are like backdoors. But unlike other schools, our backdoors are only for those with something special in them."
"Like?"
"A flawed martial soul, unique attribute, an unexplored and high potential individual who wanted to tap into their full potential."
"This... Then, I can join, no? Everyone knows that Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda couldn't cultivate past level 79 due to the limitation of our martial soul." Ning Rongrong answered cleverly.
"Technically, yes," Han Yuan nodded calmly. "Your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda is much different than others from your clan."
"Your innate spirit rank is 9, right?
"Mm." Ning Rongrong hummed softly.
Han Yuan chuckled, "Then, you should know what innate spirit rank 9 implies, right? It means you have the potential to become Title Douluo."
"The only question now is... How did you reach that?"
"Dao Academy can provide you with that, but you must not slack off and focus on your cultivation."
"Uh, this..." Ning Rongrong blushed because she always liked to slack around.
'What about this, young lady." Liu Erlong rested her chin on her hands. "If you can finish the incoming summer camp, I will let you join the Dao Academy through special admission."
"Okay, I agree!!" Ning Rongrong impulsively said.
Ning Fengyuan wanted to stop Ning Rongrong from making brash moves, but it was too late. She could only sigh and wish this "summer camp" wasn't too hard on the girl.
Liu Erlong clapped her hands, "Fantastic."
With that, Ning Rongrong, who was supposed to only stay for a couple of weeks, remained in the Dao Academy for two months. Han Yuan planned to turn this girl into his bargaining chip against Ning Fengzhi.
Hehe, Han Yuan must thank Ning Fengzhi for this.
...
...
A few hours later.
Heaven Dou City, Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan.
"Hmm, summer camp?" Ning Fengzhi slowly read the report made by Ning Fengyuan in confusion. "Well, this wasn't too bad."
"As long as Han Yuan developed some feelings with Rongrong, staying a few months in Dao Academy is worth it."
"Rongrong could also make some friends and develop a more mature view of things."
After thinking about it, Ning Fengzhi sent a reply to Ning Fengyuan.
...
Ning Fengyuan received Ning Fengzhi's reply and sighed, "Well, you're the clan leader and Rongrong's father, so I can't comment much on this."
"But I have a bad feeling about this summer camp."
She burned the letters and walked out of the guest room provided by the Dao Academy, which was located on the hill facing an artificial pond full of 10-year-old carp.
Looking at the hill, Ning Fengyuan could see Ning Rongrong with a group of children, including Han Yuan. Of course, there are two extra individuals that she didn't expect to see here.
"The Ye Family's Daughter, Ye Lingling."
"And the Granddaughter of Poison Douluo, Dugu Yan."
"They are supposed to be in the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy. What are they doing here?"
She frowned slightly, "It seemed the rumor about the Dugu Family and Ye Family joining Dao Academy was true."
"Looks like I have to send another report today..."
Meanwhile, Han Yuan introduced the new girls to his students.
"Okay, everyone." Han Yuan smiled at his students. "Let me introduce you to some new faces."
"Although they are nobles, they are good nobles, so you shouldn't give them a hard time."
"Starting from Sister Yanyan..." Han Yuan reached for Dugu Yan's hand and pulled her gently to his side.
"You might recognize her beautiful face, and you're right because she was a Heaven Dou Imperial Academy's student we met at Sunset Forest."
"She's also the granddaughter of our academy's guardian, Senior Dugu Poison Douluo!"
"Hello, everyone~! My name is Dugu Yan! It's a pleasure to meet you all today!" Dugu Yan greeted them with a smile.
After getting her martial soul fixed and evolved, Dugu Yan has lost her sickly green hair and evil eyes. She naturally turned into a cheerful girl with a somewhat playful nature.
"Hello, sister!" 8x.
The eight red-grade students weren't witless. Since Dugu Yan is Dugu Bo's granddaughter, they'd show respect and welcome for her.
Han Yuan nodded at their reactions, "Next, we have Sister Lingling."
Unlike the bold Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling was introverted and sheepishly stepped forward.
"Just like Sister Yanyan, Sister Lingling was also a Heaven Dou Imperial Academy student before transferring to our academy because her mother took office as the Healing Department's head."
"If you're injured, whether light or heavy, you can come to the Healing Department from now on."
Ye Lingling held the edge of her skirt and said, "Hello..."
"My name is Ye Lingling, and it's a pleasure to... Meet all of you."
"UWOOOOH, HEALER! Welcome, sister!" Du Buzi, being the most prone to physical injury due to his training method, couldn't help but get hype and cheer for Ye Lingling.
"Welcome!" The other students followed, giving Du Buzi a funny look.
Han Yuan clapped his hand and glanced at Ning Rongrong, "And the last one is rather unusual. Let's welcome Ning Rongrong."
Ning Rongrong puffed her chest and walked forward, "Hi, my name is Ning Rongrong, and I'm from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan. If you need my help or get bullied in Heaven Dou City, say my name and the bully will run away!"
"You may call me, Rongrong, like Big Brother Yuan did."
"Also, please take care of me in the summer camp!"
Everyone was surprised by Ning Rongrong's introduction, but they still accepted her well. Although she was notorious for being a "little witch" in the books, that was her at twelve, while the current her is young, fearless, and gullible.
As long as Han Yuan didn't indulge Ning Rongrong too much and led her to the correct path, she would bloom into a better person than the main timeline.
"Welcome, Rongrong!" The eight red-grade students, Dugu Yan, and Ye Lingling greeted her warmly.
"With this, we can start the summer camp." Han Yuan patted Rongrong's head gently and said, "Okay, we can get to know each other more as this continues, but first..."
"Let's start with today's lesson."
"Escape!"
