"You're happy that my Spirit evolution failed, is that what you mean?"
The more Ning Rongrong spoke, the more displeased she looked.
As she raised her voice, everyone's attention naturally fell on Tang San.
Feeling the gazes of those around him shift.
Tang San's heart sank, and he immediately realized something was amiss.
After calming down, he also felt that his previous words were very inappropriate and he regretted them deeply.
It was just a pity that words, once spoken, were like water poured out.
So, no matter how much he regretted it this time, he couldn't change anything.
He could only clear his throat, force a cough, and explain forcefully.
"Of course not."
"Rongrong, how could you think of me that way? We've been friends for so many years, don't you know what kind of person I am?"
He spoke, attempting to play the emotional card and muddle through.
If it had been before, Ning Rongrong might not have pressed the matter further.
But hearing him say this now, Ning Rongrong not only didn't let it go, but instead snorted coldly and added,
"I was quite clear before, but now… honestly, I'm a bit unclear about you, Tang San."
"And what does what you just said have to do with us being friends for so many years?"
"Exactly, the better friends you are, the less you should say such things."
Hearing him say that.
Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing naturally couldn't sit still either.
They spoke with an air of determinedly seeking justice for Ning Rongrong.
Seeing everyone like this, Tang San felt a bead of sweat on his forehead, unsure of how to explain himself.
At the critical moment, it was his good teacher, Yu Xiaogang, who stepped forward.
He helped him out of the predicament.
There was no other way, as the heavenly curtain showed that Tang San was his most favored and most promising disciple in the future.
He had to cling tightly to such a strong support.
Otherwise, that would be truly foolish.
"Cough, cough."
"I think you've all misunderstood Tang San. Tang San doesn't mean what you think.
His prayer for Yu Chen's failure on the heavenly curtain is actually for your own good. Ning Rongrong, don't forget whose hands the Immortal Herb in this Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well is currently in."
His argument was extremely well-chosen.
Hearing him say this, the few girls who had been angry suddenly froze.
Ning Rongrong also showed a thoughtful expression and asked him again,
"You mean Spirit Hall?"
"Exactly, Spirit Hall!"
Seeing this, Yu Xiaogang quickly nodded and added,
"This Qi Luo Tulip is currently entirely in the hands of Spirit Hall. If Yu Chen successfully completes the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's Spirit evolution on the heavenly curtain, wouldn't that mean your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will be completely controlled by Spirit Hall from now on?
Does your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School want to live under the watchful eye of Spirit Hall from now on?
Don't forget. This Spirit Hall is the most ambitious. Both the parallel World and this current World harbor the idea of unifying the World. Getting too close to such a fellow is like approaching a hellish vortex; a slight misstep could lead to eternal damnation."
It must be said, Yu Xiaogang was truly a master of rhetoric.
Hearing his baseless analysis, Ning Rongrong almost fell for it.
She nodded in deep agreement.
"That being said… it seems to make some sense…"
However, this deep agreement only lasted for a moment.
She then realized something was wrong.
She turned her head, her face full of suspicion, and asked Yu Xiaogang beside her,
"That's not right."
"Being in Spirit Hall's hands doesn't mean my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will obediently obey. My father can completely use some of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's resources to exchange with Spirit Hall. After all, there's no deep blood feud between my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and Spirit Hall to the point where we must resort to war."
"Are you really worried about my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School being controlled by Spirit Hall, or are you worried about the two sides getting too close? That it would be detrimental to Shrek Academy."
Swept by her gaze.
Tang San immediately lowered his head, coughing nervously.
"Cough, cough, of course it's the former."
"Exactly. Rongrong, you're truly judging a gentleman by your own petty standards. We are genuinely concerned about the safety of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."
Of course, nervousness was one thing.
On the surface.
Both of them still maintained an upright and righteous demeanor.
"Hmph… I hope so."
"But I still hope Yu Chen succeeds. You simply don't understand what this means for our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. If this can succeed, let alone getting close to Spirit Hall, I estimate my father would agree to help Spirit Hall unify the World after much hesitation."
Seeing the two of them like this.
Ning Rongrong didn't continue to pursue the matter.
After a cold snort, she couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
"Indeed… Rongrong's family Spirit, even before evolution, was already recognized as the number one support system Spirit on the continent. If it truly evolves from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, its support effect is estimated to increase exponentially, and it's not impossible for it to become one of the few Divine Spirits."
"It's no exaggeration to say this is an opportunity for the family's overall strength to soar. I don't think anyone can refuse such a temptation."
Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu agreed repeatedly.
These truths, even these inexperienced Shrek Academy students knew.
Spirit Hall, everyone naturally, was even more aware.
Seeing this scene, they were genuinely beaming with joy.
Just as Ning Rongrong had just said, even if this item couldn't completely control the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, it could definitely exchange for enormous resources from them.
This trip to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well not only successfully made Poison Douluo switch allegiance and join Spirit Hall.
It also yielded so many Immortal Herbs.
And it seized the lifeline of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's future Spirit evolution.
What does it mean to win big? This is truly winning big.
Bibi Dong felt happier the more she thought about it.
She couldn't help but turn to praise Hu Li Na beside her.
"Hu Li Na, you have truly rendered great service to my Spirit Hall this time!"
Hearing her Master praise her so highly, Hu Li Na naturally felt delighted.
However, she didn't dare to take credit at the moment, immediately kneeling on the ground and respectfully saying,
"I wouldn't dare! Hu Li Na's achievements this time are entirely due to Master's wise leadership. If Master hadn't ordered us to rush to this Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well in advance, we wouldn't have been able to capture all the Immortal Herbs within. Let alone killing two birds with one stone and seizing the lifeline of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's future Spirit evolution."
"Indeed, this is all due to Supreme Pontiff's excellent leadership!"
Hu Li Na's words were truly heartfelt.
And hearing him say this, the rest of the people, whether sincerely or not, all followed suit and cheered.
Hearing the Spirit Hall members speak this way, Bibi Dong naturally felt radiant.
Looking up at the heavenly curtain again.
Her attitude towards it had also unconsciously changed.
