Gu Yue Na rolled her eyes and said, "There's a saying in the human world: there are no permanent enemies, only permanent interests. As long as the interests are great enough, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect might not be unwilling to bow down to the Martial Soul Hall."
"You've picked up on human culture pretty quickly," Ao Tian praised. "You're right, this is a world where interests reign supreme. But there are always some people who live for their principles. However, I'll still have the Martial Soul Hall try to win them over. Whether they live or die depends on their choice."
Gu Yue Na said, "Why make it so complicated? You can just go to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and show off your strength. They'll know what to do. When they know there's an unbeatable enemy, who would be foolish enough to go and die?"
"That's a good idea, worth a try. Though, they'll probably be scared witless," Ao Tian chuckled.
"Let's not talk about the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect for now. Our bet isn't finished yet. Tell me first, how many laps do you think Ning Rong Rong can run?" Gu Yue Na looked expectant.
Without Ao Tian using any abilities, she felt her chances of winning were quite high.
"Hmm… I guess she can run…"
Ning Rong Rong was the first to fall. It wasn't even noon, and she couldn't take it after running for over two hours straight.
Her cultivation was the lowest, and her physique was the weakest. Therefore, she didn't waste her Soul Power to amplify Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhu Qing this time. However, after running for more than two hours, her Soul Power was still exhausted.
The energy from her breakfast had also been consumed. By the time she reached the thirty-sixth lap, her speed was slower than walking.
Ao Tian laughed. "Thirty-six laps already. If I'm not mistaken, she'll collapse on this lap."
Although he hadn't calculated it, he could still guess when Ning Rong Rong would give up based on his intuition.
As soon as he finished speaking, Ning Rong Rong stumbled, her vision went black, and she fell to the ground.
Ao Tian's face showed a smile. "I still win."
Master had been following Ning Rong Rong for a long time. He was worried that Ning Rong Rong would faint at any moment, so he had been keeping up.
At the instant Ning Rong Rong fell, Master rushed forward, intending to help her up.
In his observation just now, Ning Rong Rong had already broken through her own limits several times, which was very good. She could rest now.
Moreover, after repeatedly breaking through physical limits, she must use a special method to heal afterward; otherwise, she would definitely suffer internal injuries.
Before Master could reach Ning Rong Rong, Gu Yue Na arrived first.
Master only felt a gust of fragrant wind, and Gu Yue Na's figure appeared before him.
He stopped and looked back at the entrance of the village in a daze. The entrance of the village was still quite a distance away from here.
Could she have been following me when we passed the village entrance earlier? But how come I didn't notice? Master was puzzled.
Ao Tian walked over slowly from that direction.
Gu Yue Na helped Ning Rong Rong up, gently patting her face and calling out, "Ning Rong Rong, are you alright?"
Ning Rong Rong, who had just seen black, opened her eyes, her face filled with exhaustion. "I'm fine, but I've reached my limit. I can't run anymore."
"If you can't run, then stop. You've done very well," Ao Tian walked over from a distance.
"No, you can still run. Rest for a few minutes, and I'll run with you," Gu Yue Na said.
"Sister Na'er, I really can't do it. I feel like I'm about to die," Ning Rong Rong gasped, her ample chest heaving violently.
Gu Yue Na encouraged her, "You can definitely do it. Look, Xiao Wu and Zhu Qing are still holding on, and that fat pig Ma Hong Jun hasn't fallen either. Do you want to lose to them?"
"No," Ning Rong Rong immediately replied.
She stood up with Gu Yue Na's support, saying, "But my cultivation is lower than theirs, and my body isn't as strong. I can't outrun them."
Gu Yue Na comforted, "It's alright. I'll stay with you. Rest for a bit, and then you can run again. If you give up, then you've truly lost. You might not be as physically strong as them, but you absolutely cannot be weaker in willpower."
Ning Rong Rong was encouraged by Gu Yue Na's pep talk and her fighting spirit flared up again, her eyes gradually becoming resolute once more.
Master watched for a moment and then continued running.
"This works?" Ao Tian was taken aback.
Gu Yue Na said slyly, "Master never said she had to run the whole thing in one go. Ning Rong Rong resting for a few minutes isn't against the rules."
"What are you two talking about?" Ning Rong Rong asked, puzzled.
"Nothing. Just trust me. You can run at least one more lap. I'll be with you," Gu Yue Na said.
"Okay. Thank you, Sister Na'er."
Gu Yue Na turned and looked at Ao Tian triumphantly.
"You're amazing. I admit defeat," Ao Tian said, giving a thumbs up.
With Gu Yue Na's help, Ning Rong Rong ran another lap and finally passed out.
Master ran with some stops, so he wasn't very tired. Seeing that Ning Rong Rong was completely unconscious, he rushed over, shouting, "Quick, hand Ning Rong Rong over to me!"
Gu Yue Na, holding Ning Rong Rong, asked cautiously, "What do you want to do with her?"
"Give her a bath," Master said anxiously.
Gu Yue Na's expression immediately changed, becoming sharp. She asked, "You want to give her a bath?"
Master then realized Gu Yue Na had misunderstood. He quickly said, "It's not me giving her a bath. I've instructed someone to prepare a medicated bath. She has repeatedly pushed her body to its limits, and she must use the medicated bath to recuperate. Otherwise, she will suffer after-effects."
Gu Yue Na picked up Ning Rong Rong and walked back, disdainfully saying, "What trash. No need."
She had never had a good impression of this Master, so how could she hand Ning Rong Rong over to him?
Seeing Gu Yue Na carry Ning Rong Rong away, Master was furious and shouted, "Gu Yue Na, do you know what you're doing? You'll harm Ning Rong Rong like this!"
Gu Yue Na didn't even pause, carrying Ning Rong Rong towards the girls' dormitory, with Ao Tian following alongside.
Master was once again trembling with rage and was about to rush forward and snatch Ning Rong Rong back.
"Xiao Gang, what's going on?" Flender heard Master's shout and came over.
Master recounted what had just happened, so angry that his hair was almost standing on end.
Ao Tian and Gu Yue Na had already sent Ning Rong Rong back to her room. Flender and Master didn't avoid suspicion and went directly into the girls' dormitory. They arrived in front of Ning Rong Rong's room and were about to go in.
Gu Yue Na stepped out, blocking the two old men.
Master said, his tone filled with disappointment, "Gu Yue Na, don't you understand that your recklessness could ruin Ning Rong Rong's life? Can you bear that consequence? Remember, she is the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's precious jewel."
Gu Yue Na sneered, "There's nothing in this world I can't pay for."
Seeing that Gu Yue Na was determined to keep them out, Master turned to Flender and said, "Flender, let's do this. Get Gu Yue Na out of the way."
Gu Yue Na let out a cold laugh. "I advise you not to try anything with me, or you'll regret it!"
Flender was also angered. How could he take Gu Yue Na's threat seriously? He reached out his large hand, grabbing towards her.
As a Soul Sage, taking down a little girl with only Soul Elder cultivation was an incredibly easy task for him.
