"Hmph~ It's nothing major. I just think you're quite impressive and wanted to invite you to join our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. Hmm, your Star Sect seems decent too. If you're willing to become a subordinate sect of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, I can actually make that decision."
Ning Rongrong slightly raised her chin, her face filled with pride as she spoke about her sect.
"Oh, not interested. I thought you wanted to join my Star Sect," Ye Feng replied, waving his hand dismissively, his expression bored.
"Hmph, what Star Sect? I've never even heard of it. It's far inferior to my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School," Ning Rongrong retorted, clearly displeased.
She had come here with the intention of recruiting Ye Feng to join the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, but instead, he was trying to poach her for the Star Sect. What kind of nonsense was this?
"Our Star Sect is just low-key. That doesn't mean we lack strength. We're not weaker than your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School," Ye Feng said calmly, as if he didn't hold the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School in high regard.
"Our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has two Super Douluos, and my father is the Continent's Number One Support-Type Soul Master! What does your Star Sect have to compare with that?"
Seeing Ye Feng belittle her sect, Ning Rongrong became visibly agitated.
She felt that Ye Feng's disdain for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was a direct insult to her, Ning Rongrong! "Oh, our Star Sect also has several Titled Douluos, they're just in seclusion," Ye Feng said casually.
In terms of overall combat strength, the Star Sect could easily be considered the number one sect in the world.
With Di Tian around, he could easily defeat all the human Titled Douluos in the world right now.
Even if Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo combined their powers, they would only be a match for one of Di Tian's hands.
"You're bluffing! There are only a handful of Titled Douluos in this world, and they're all well-known. How could there be others?"
Ning Rongrong's face was filled with disbelief.
"Heh, putting that aside, the fact that our Star Sect can nurture a genius like me is already proof enough of our capabilities. I could easily defeat everyone below the Soul Ancestor level in your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School with one hand. What does your sect have to offer?" Ye Feng asked with a faint smile, the corner of his mouth curling up.
Ning Rongrong: "..."
"Our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is a support-type sect, of course we're not specialized in combat!"
Ning Rongrong's face turned red, but she still spoke defiantly, "Our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is richer than yours! Our sect's numbers and influence far surpass your Star Sect!"
"Oh."
Ye Feng responded indifferently, clearly showing no interest.
With the Star Sect's combat strength, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School would barely qualify to be their subordinate.
For Ning Rongrong to suggest that the Star Sect become a subordinate sect of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, she might as well be dreaming…
"You… you… you…"
Ning Rongrong was so angry at Ye Feng's indifferent attitude that she couldn't even form words.
She had even spoken up for Ye Feng earlier. She could accept that he didn't want to join the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, but his complete disregard for her sect was nothing short of an insult!
"Stop talking nonsense. If your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is so impressive, do you have any treasures that can rapidly enhance a Soul Master's combat power?"
Ye Feng glanced at Ning Rongrong sideways and asked nonchalantly.
"Soul Master cultivation is a step-by-step process. How could such a thing exist!"
Ning Rongrong was once again filled with frustration. She turned to Zhu Zhuqing and said, "Zhuqing, whatever he gave you must be some kind of evil drug. It might very well drain your talent! I've never heard of anything like this in this world!"
"No, I can feel it. My physical strength has truly improved significantly, and I haven't detected any abnormalities in my body," Zhu Zhuqing replied softly, shaking her head. "Besides, I believe Ye Feng wouldn't lie to me."
She and Ye Feng had no grudges between them, and given Ye Feng's immense strength, he had no reason to deceive her. After all, there was no benefit for him in doing so.
"Rongrong, the pill Ye Feng gave Zhuqing definitely has no side effects. I can vouch for that because I've also taken the pill Ye Feng gave me," Xiao Wu quickly stepped forward to defend Ye Feng.
She, too, had received Ye Feng's favor, and considering that Ye Feng was the Young Master of Soul Beasts, she naturally stood on his side.
"Xiao Wu… Zhuqing… how could you two…!!" Ning Rongrong was so upset that she almost burst into tears when she saw both Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing siding with Ye Feng. "Alright, if there's nothing else, you can leave now," Ye Feng waved his hand dismissively, clearly intending to send her away.
Although Ning Rongrong was decent-looking, her temper and personality left much to be desired. She needed some serious discipline. Zhu Zhuqing was the most well-behaved, and Xiao Wu was relatively obedient. But Ning Rongrong's attitude needed to change.
"Rongrong, let's go. Ye Feng won't be joining your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School," Xiao Wu said, tugging at Ning Rongrong's hand.
Rongrong was her good friend, but Ye Feng was the Young Master of the Soul Beast clan, so her loyalty naturally leaned toward him.
"Rongrong, the Star Sect might truly be powerful, and the pill Ye Feng gave me is indeed effective. Once I've fully mastered this new strength, you'll see for yourself," Zhu Zhuqing added with a serious expression.
Although Shrek Academy was good, it seemed to pale in comparison to the Star Sect. Unfortunately, she was still only a nominal disciple. This year, she would have to work hard to become an official disciple of the Star Sect.
The Star Sect appeared to be even more formidable and terrifying than the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and its influence surely far surpassed that of the Zhu family. If she lost to her sister, Zhu Zhuyun, in the family's power struggle, she might still be able to rely on the Star Sect to save her life. As for Dai Mubai…
That waste of a man, who was always obsessed with women, would probably die on some woman's lap sooner or later.
"Hmph, the Star Sect, huh? Once this semester is over, I'll definitely bring my Sword Grandfather to pay them a visit!" Ning Rongrong, knowing she had no face left to stay, stormed off in a huff.
However, she now knew the location of the Star Sect. When she brought her Sword Grandfather to their doorstep, she didn't believe they could be so powerful as to disregard the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School!
After Ning Rongrong left, Xiao Wu turned to Ye Feng with an apologetic look. "Ye Feng, Rongrong is just like that. Please don't take it to heart…"
She knew Ye Feng's background. As the Young Master of Soul Beasts, he had the entire Soul Beast clan behind him. Naturally, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was no match for him. She only hoped that Ye Feng would be magnanimous and not hold it against Ning Rongrong. After all, Rongrong was her good friend, and she didn't want anything bad to happen to her.
"Don't worry, I don't bother with children," Ye Feng replied with a faint smile.
"That's good~" Xiao Wu smiled sweetly, secretly relieved in her heart.
After bidding farewell, she left with Zhu Zhuqing.
"The seeds have been planted, waiting to slowly sprout..."
Ye Feng watched the two figures depart and smiled faintly.
Although the Star Sect didn't need any geniuses or disciples, Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing could still be of some use. He couldn't let Shrek ruin them.
Ye Feng had originally planned to test the Royal Fight Team.
But calculating the timing, it seemed he had arrived too early.
In that case, he could only head to the Star Sect first and stir up some trouble with Bi Ji and Zi Ji.
For example, the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well—he had been eyeing it for a long time. He could grab some Immortal Herbs to let the Silver Dragon King have a taste.
