20+ Advance chapters on P^^^on
As night fell, Ning Tian bathed, changed, and headed to the main field. On the way, he saw Ning Rongrong fleeing to her dorm, tears streaming after Flender's scolding.
"What's wrong? Who dared upset our Miss Ning? Point me at them," Ning Tian said, feigning ignorance at the dorm entrance.
Ning Rongrong appeared, tears streaking her face. "Flender! He's awful… I'll get Grandpa Sword and Grandpa Bone to crush him!" she wailed.
"Figures," Ning Tian said, unfazed.
She sniffled. "What do you mean?"
He smiled slyly. "Twenty laps? Even a battle soul master would falter, let alone you, an auxiliary soul master. Ever wonder why the dean gave you an impossible job?"
"He did it on purpose?" She wiped her eyes. "Why? What's his problem?"
"Not you, exactly. He's the dean, he needs control. You're spoiled, a bit bratty, and you secretly look down on everyone here, him included. Who else would he target? If he doesn't break you, how's he supposed to run this place?"
Her face reddened. "I don't look down on everyone…"
"Doesn't matter. Also you might as well think about it. The dean is just a Spirit Saint. Why risk scolding the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan's princess with Title Douluos behind her?"
She realized her father had tipped Flender off. "So what do I do?" she asked softly.
"Your dad gave you to the dean, that means no one can help you here. You can only rely on yourself. If you don't want to be hurt, prove it to them. Want respect? Prove you're not a decorative vase. As for those who ditched or bullied you, mark their faces. Payback comes later."
That last bit sank in. She remembered Tang San and Dai Mubai standing by as Flender tore into her—Dai Mubai even offered to pack her bags. Her anger flared.
"Hmph! I'm no vase," she huffed, then smiled at Ning Tian. "Thanks."
Only her grandfathers and father had ever been real with her. Others groveled or, like Dai Mubai and Tang San, piled on. Ning Tian didn't.
He smiled back. "Anytime."
At that moment, a hurried voice came from far away "Rongrong, are you okay?"
Ning Tian and Ning Rongrong looked over at the same time and saw Oscar sweating and panting running over.
Seeing Ning Tian he was a little surprised and said "Oh, you are here too. Hurry to the field. Dean is grumpy, and you're late."
"I'll manage," Ning Tian said, waving to Ning Rongrong. "See ya, Miss Ning." Saying that he dashed off.
Oscar glanced between them, sensing he'd missed something.
"Let's go," Ning Rongrong said, fixing her clothes and heading out.
"Where?" Oscar asked, lost.
"To finish my task," she said, jogging off.
"But the dean said we don't need to run anymore.."
"For you, maybe. I'm not done," she replied, leaving him behind.
Oscar sighed and followed.
.........
At the field, Flender beamed like a flower, not mad at all. "You just finished high intensity training, is it okay? Are you sure you're good? Rest if you need. We can do this tomorrow."
Tang San, Dai Mubai, and the others stared. Was this the same dean who'd reprimanded Ning Rongrong, the little princess of Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?
What everybody didn't know is that in addition to observing Oscar and Ning Rongrong, Flenders was also observing Ning Tian doing insane training all day. The kid was a goldmine.
"I'm good. Fully rested," Ning Tian said. Tang Hao's energy was still full, a spar was nothing. Plus, he had a 'gift' to grab for Dai Mubai in Suotuo City later.
Although Dai Mubai didn't want to fight, he also didn't want to give him a good time . "Dean, he's fifteen minutes late. Rules say—"
Flender glared. "Run twenty laps with a thousand-jin weight and train all day, then you can be late too."
Dai Mubai shut up, knowing he couldn't.
His snitching only earned glares from Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing, who now looked at him like garbage.
