Ning Rongrong ran back to her room, crying with puffed cheeks.
Normally, at home, if she shed two drops of tears, what couldn't be accomplished?
Why was it not working now?
Jiang Yunzhou was actually quite helpless.
He was going to do something bad; was stealing other people's things glorious?
Such dealings were not suitable for two 'pure' maidens to participate in. What if he led them astray?
"Zhu Qing, keep an eye on little Rongrong, don't let her cause trouble."
"Teacher, don't worry, I will." Zhu Zhuqing sighed softly and nodded in agreement.
After giving his instructions, Jiang Yunzhou moved like a breeze, sweeping out of the Academy.
He traveled at high speed, asking for directions as he went.
At his pace, it only took him one day to successfully arrive at the legendary Saint Spirit Village.
He walked around the village and saw Old Jack, the village chief, who personally sent the God King to school.
It just felt like this place was nothing special.
"Is this really a geomantic treasure land that produced a God King? It doesn't look like much..."
He muttered as he successfully found the blacksmith shop in the village.
He originally thought he might run into Tang Hao here, like waiting by a stump for a rabbit.
However, he didn't encounter him. The area around the house was overgrown with weeds.
Clearly, no one had returned for some time.
But it didn't matter. His primary goal for this trip was not Tang Hao, but to take Ah Yin!
This was the method he had thought of all night.
The troublesome part was that he didn't know exactly where Ah Yin was planted.
He only knew that before she was transplanted to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Tang Hao had always kept her by his side.
So, it was very likely that she was in Saint Spirit Village, or possibly somewhere in the Star Dou Great Forest.
"This is tough..." Jiang Yunzhou scratched his head.
Since he had come all this way, he couldn't return empty-handed.
He currently didn't have any special detection methods, so he could only rely on his perception to carefully search each Lan Yin Grass for spirit power fluctuations.
Thus, the villagers of Saint Spirit Village saw a stranger acting strangely, wandering around the village, paying particular attention to places where Lan Yin Grass grew, and occasionally talking to himself in front of a clump of grass.
"Strange, the village is so small, where could it be hidden?"
"Given Tang Hao's personality, he definitely wouldn't plant it too far away, making it convenient for him to 'think of the person by looking at the grass' often..."
Thinking of this, he centered his search around Tang San's blacksmith shop and began a carpet search again.
Finally, at the end of a stream at the foot of the mountain behind the house, behind a waterfall curtain, he discovered a hidden cave.
Of course, plants are not grown in caves, as they need photosynthesis.
What he found was that right by the cave entrance, there was a seemingly random Lan Yin Grass, yet its surrounding weeds had been carefully cleared.
This location had plenty of water and sunlight, yet only a single Lan Yin Grass grew there, which was very unusual.
Another point was that this location happened to offer a distant view of Tang San's home, and vice versa.
With a Spirit Master's eyesight, this distance allowed for a clear view of this Lan Yin Grass from his home.
This should not be a coincidence.
As Jiang Yunzhou approached, he felt an extremely faint spirit power fluctuation from it.
His heart rejoiced; it must be it.
He slowly approached, wanting to trick it, so he began his performance.
He reached out and gently stroked a blade of grass: "Ah Yin, you are Ah Yin, aren't you? You know Tang Hao, right?"
"He's incredible now, the majestic Haotian Douluo, spending his days showing off a hundred-thousand-year spirit ring he somehow conned someone out of. Tsk tsk, he's so domineering, using a hundred-thousand-year spirit ring to pick up girls!"
He made up absurd things to mess with its mind.
What? Don't believe it? Then refute it yourself!
Initially, the Lan Yin Grass at his feet showed no reaction.
But as he spoke more and more outrageously, he felt his ankle being very lightly touched by a blade of grass.
Although there was a slight breeze at this time, this touch was definitely not natural!
Jiang Yunzhou grinned, revealing his true intentions: "Do you think I won't recognize you if you play dead? I'll tell you, your son Tang San is dead! I came specifically to take you to see him!"
These words were like a clap of thunder. The Lan Yin Grass could no longer pretend. Its leaves swayed wildly, even actively Binding his ankle, with a force mixed with grief and indignation, as if questioning and pleading.
"Hehe, no escape now!"
Jiang Yunzhou laughed triumphantly, taking out the flowerpot he had prepared earlier. "I was just tricking you. I didn't expect you to be so easily fooled. But now, you can't run away."
While transplanting, he muttered, "Your ex-husband is very annoying. I'm afraid he'll play dirty, so I'm using you as a protective charm, very reasonable, right?"
"Now, if you don't speak, I'll take it as your consent."
After successfully transplanting Ah Yin into the flowerpot, he was in a great mood. As he prepared to return, he felt as if something was missing.
He pondered for a moment, then slapped his forehead: "I almost forgot, there seems to be something good in this cave."
He entered the cave excitedly, searching everywhere... Soon, he found a box. The items hidden in this box had spirit power fluctuations.
"Hahaha~~ Ah Yin, this must be your Spirit Bone, right? Since you're not living here anymore, I'll keep it safe for you for now, okay?"
"Now, you're not speaking again, so I'll take it as your consent."
He packed his things and walked straight out of the cave, feeling incredibly good.
Ah Yin was actually very weak at this moment and couldn't withstand the ordeal. The entire Lan Yin Grass was wilting... Just as Jiang Yunzhou successfully stole the grass and bone, the Supreme Academy welcomed two uninvited guests.
One was a graceful and dignified middle-aged man, and the other was an extremely tall figure shrouded in thick, black armor, his aura composed and awe-inspiring.
The two were none other than Ning Fengzhi and Bone Douluo Gu Rong, who had rushed day and night after receiving the urgent letter.
At this moment, the two stood before the Academy gate, looking at the somewhat dilapidated small courtyard.
"Is this the Supreme Academy?" Ning Fengzhi's brows furrowed slightly.
"There's no mistake, I can feel Rongrong's aura, she's inside." Gu Rong confirmed.
It wasn't that Ning Fengzhi didn't believe it, but he felt that the environment was perhaps a bit too poor?
He raised his hand and knocked on the door with restraint.
The two girls inside, who were practicing yoga, heard the movement and both froze.
Ning Rongrong tilted her head and asked, "Has Teacher returned?"
"It shouldn't be this fast..."
Zhu Zhuqing was calmer, "Teacher said it would take at least two or three days."
Ning Rongrong was too lazy to guess; wouldn't she know by just looking?
She excitedly ran to open the door.
As the door opened, her vision went black.
Indeed, she bumped head-on into a piece of shiny black armor—it was Gu Rong.
"Bone Grandpa?"
She asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"
Bone Douluo saw her profusely sweating and with slightly disheveled hair, and immediately felt heartbroken: "Rongrong! Why are you in such a state? Who bullied you? Tell Bone Grandpa, and I'll deal with him!"
"No, Bone Grandpa!"
Ning Rongrong quickly waved her hands, "I'm training! How did you find your way here?"
Ning Fengzhi coughed lightly and stepped out from behind Gu Rong.
His expression seemed calm, but his eyes had already scrutinized his daughter up and down several times.
Only then did she notice Ning Fengzhi behind Bone Douluo.
"Ah! Papa, why are you here too!"
