Ning Rongrong put her hands on her hips. "What Yin Ge wants to do is his business. We have no right to interfere. Now there are only three, but later there might be four, five, six, or seven. Dad, you can't even count your concubines on two hands, can you?"
Ning Fengzhi himself couldn't count how many concubines he had. Wasn't it normal for the Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to have many concubines? "Rongrong, can these be the same? These two things are completely different. Your dad is the Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, so it's normal to have concubines. But you are the princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and the person who will become the Sect Master in the future. How can you become someone else's concubine?"
"Oh…" Ning Rongrong drew out a long nasal sound. "So, Dad, you mean I can also be like you and have countless concubines? And have them serve me one by one every day?"
Instantly, Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, and Gu Rong were all dumbfounded. This was a scene they couldn't even imagine. Was this still normal? Was this something a normal person would say? How had Rongrong become like this after just three months?
Rongrong, you've gone bad!
[Resentment from Ning Fengzhi +99!]
[Resentment from Chen Xin +99!]
[Resentment from Gu Rong +99!]
"Rongrong, don't joke around," Ning Fengzhi said. "Of course, this is not allowed. You cannot do this."
Ning Rongrong pouted. "Then why not? Dad is the Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and you can keep concubines. I'm the Sect Master, why can't I keep concubines?"
Ning Fengzhi trembled with anger. "Can these two things be the same? You're a girl!"
Ning Rongrong snorted coldly. "What's the difference? Both are future Sect Masters of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and both want to have concubines. Dad, Grandpa Sword, Grandpa Gu Rong, you choose: do you choose for me to be with my Yin Ge, or do you choose for me to have concubines in the future?"
The corners of all three men's mouths twitched incessantly. Compared to Ning Rongrong having concubines, her becoming someone else's concubine didn't seem so incomprehensible anymore.
"Alas," Ning Fengzhi sighed heavily. "Uncle Jian, Uncle Gu, I'm a little tired. I'll go back and rest first." He was truly speechless.
Chen Xin and Gu Rong looked at each other. "We're also a little tired. We also need to go back and get some good rest."
Seeing the three of them leave, Ning Rongrong chuckled. Within three months, she had learned a lot. One of the things was, if you can't persuade others, you can propose an even more unacceptable point of view. This way, the other party will be persuaded. There is also another method that can be used: first state the more unacceptable point of view. When the other party cannot accept it, you then propose the point you want to make, and the other party will accept it. In short, the broken window fallacy.
Ning Fengzhi and the other two said they were tired and needed to rest. The three of them left in different directions, then met up again.
"What kind of charm does this Ye Yin possess?" Chen Xin asked. "How can he make Rongrong so infatuated?" The three of them looked at each other, unable to offer an explanation.
"It seems necessary for us to go to Shrek Academy to meet this Ye Yin," Ning Fengzhi said.
"When do we leave?" Gu Rong asked. "Should we follow Rongrong when she goes to Shrek Academy?"
Ning Fengzhi shook his head. "No, that way Ye Yin will surely be prepared, and we won't be able to see his true self. How about this? First, let Rongrong go back alone. We'll say we're not going to see him, to make her trust us. Then, in a few days, we'll launch a surprise attack, catching him off guard. Only then can we see the real Ye Yin."
Chen Xin and Gu Rong exchanged glances and smiled. "Fengzhi," Chen Xin said, "we never realized how cunning you were before."
With that, all three of them laughed.
The next day, Ning Rongrong asked, "Dad, Grandpa Sword, Grandpa Gu Rong, are you really not coming back to the academy with me to see what kind of person Yin Ge is?"
Ning Fengzhi and the other two looked at each other. "No, no, there's no need," Ning Fengzhi said. "Rongrong, we trust your judgment. Since he's someone you like, then we'll definitely like him too."
Ning Rongrong immediately smiled happily. "Dad, Grandpa Sword, Grandpa Gu Rong, thank you! I'm returning to the academy now!"
In just two days, Ning Rongrong returned to Shrek Academy. Seeing Ye Yin again, her eyes were filled with excitement.
At this time, inside Shrek Academy, Yu Xiaogang was leading everyone in a class on the training ground. The planned second phase of training had been delayed for two days due to Ning Rongrong's trip home.
"Rongrong, you're back," Oscar said as he saw Ning Rongrong and immediately went up to flatter her. "Are you tired from being home? Do you need a big sausage to replenish your energy first?"
Ning Rongrong smiled slightly. "No, thank you." She went to Ye Yin's side and hugged him tightly. "Yin Ge, my dad has agreed to our relationship."
As soon as she said this, half of the people present were instantly dumbfounded.
[Resentment from Oscar +50!]
[Resentment from Xiao Wu +20!]
[Resentment from Zhu Zhuqing +40!]
Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun, on the other hand, looked at Oscar with some schadenfreude. For the past few months, who didn't know that Oscar had been pursuing Ning Rongrong? Without a sound, the news suddenly came out that Ning Rongrong's family had agreed to Ye Yin and Ning Rongrong's relationship. Oscar's home was quietly stolen. He immediately looked at Ye Yin with resentment, and his resentment value was still increasing.
Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing's resentment was similar; they were both angry that a third party had gotten ahead without a sound. It wasn't about taking down Ye Yin, but rather about letting their families know first. Although neither of them knew who in their families they could tell—one had lost both parents, and the other's parents, though not deceased, were as good as—just thinking about it made them resentful.
Yu Xiaogang was even more shocked to hear this; the princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was taken down so easily by Ye Yin? And she convinced her family so easily? Is there something wrong with this script? And it felt so familiar.
