Douluo: Twin Origins, Suppressing the World

Chapter 119 What a coincidence, you dropped out of school too.
"Nannan, you packed so quickly?"

Ling Shuang, who had just come downstairs and was walking towards Jiang Nannan's dormitory, was somewhat surprised to see Jiang Nannan walking towards her from a distance.

In his mind, girls should be slow at packing.

Jiang Nannan stepped forward and took his arm, smiling as she said, "Because there weren't many things to begin with, and there's also the soul tool that Xiaoshuang gave me."

Jiang Nannan is different from most girls. Her things are actually quite simple, without a lot of miscellaneous items. When it comes to tidying them up, it's about as troublesome as Ling Shuang's.

"Let's go." She took Ling Shuang's hand and walked towards the school gate.

The two hadn't gone far when they ran into two more acquaintances.

To be precise, they were two acquaintances of Ling Shuang.

"Ling Shuang, what a coincidence, are you two going on a date?"

Upon seeing Ling Shuang and the other person, Ning Tian pulled Wu Feng, who was standing to the side, over to greet them.

"No, we dropped out of school."

"You guys dropped out of school too?!"

Ning Tian's beautiful eyes widened upon hearing Ling Shuang's words.

Even Wu Feng, who was standing to the side, showed a look of surprise.

"Also?" Ling Shuang was taken aback, somewhat uncertain.

"Could it be that you..."

"Hmm." Ning Tian nodded, confirming the guess he hadn't yet asked.

"We've also dropped out of school. We've already completed the formalities and just packed our things to go back to our sect."

"Why?" Jiang Nannan asked, puzzled.

Does she remember that Ning Tian left the team voluntarily and didn't cause a scene like Ling Shuang's?

Ning Tian still wore the gentle smile that was typical of the young sect master of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, and calmly explained:
"Because perhaps I've figured it out."

Her beautiful eyes seemed to sparkle.

"I don't know why you came to Shrek Academy in the first place, but I just wanted to become a better version of myself."

"I always thought that Shrek Academy, as the recognized number one soul master academy on the continent, would definitely bring me a lot of progress."

"But through this year of study, I've found that things don't seem to be like that."

"The college's educational standards are fine, but it doesn't seem to be a good fit for me."

"And because of some things you can probably guess, my impression of the academy isn't actually that good right now."

"Instead of continuing to study here with this awkward feeling, it might be better to return to the sect. My grandfather once told me that Shrek Academy's education on the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda is not as good as that of the sect. At first, I thought my grandfather was too proud, but now it seems that he was right."

Ning Tian said nonchalantly, she already understood everything.

Given her personality and status, she would definitely prioritize the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School and wouldn't be brainwashed by Shrek Academy's glory.

Therefore, when she realized that what she could gain from staying here was not as much as returning to the sect, she naturally left without hesitation.

After all, she and Ling Shuang actually share a lot in their views on Shrek Academy.

They all simply viewed this place as a learning environment, nothing more.

The idea that Huo Yuhao would treat Shrek Academy as his home, as depicted in the original novel, is impossible for them.

Wu Feng, standing to the side, replied matter-of-factly, "Wherever the young master is, I will be there too."

This idea is quite similar to Jiang Nannan's.

Hearing Ning Tian's words, Ling Shuang nodded slightly.

That's the normal way to think.

He had always been puzzled as to why Ning Tian, ​​the young sect leader of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, was going to Shrek Academy.

If we're really talking about teaching the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, how could Shrek Academy possibly be better than the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, which has been researching it for tens of thousands of years and has countless summaries from predecessors of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda?

If it was to bring Shrek Academy and the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School closer together, Ling Shuang found it even more puzzling.

Shrek Academy doesn't care how good your relationship is; if you're not one of them, they won't bother with you. After all, there are blatant examples right here.

The Tang Sect and Shrek Academy have a long history and a good relationship, right?

But now?

The entire sect was slaughtered by a third-rate Iron Blood Sect, leaving only Tang Ya as its sole survivor.

Therefore, Ling Shuang has always believed that if you are not a member of Shrek Academy and still want to build good relationships with them to gain benefits, it's all for naught.

Instead of doing that, it would be better to go out and wander around when you have free time, and do some good for those who are in dire straits.

Who knows, we might even witness a dramatic turnaround, a story of repaying a small kindness with boundless gratitude.

"Yes, that's fine. If there's nothing else, we'll be going now." Ling Shuang responded indifferently, showing no intention of continuing the conversation.

"Wait a minute!" Ning Tian called out to Ling Shuang, who was about to leave with Jiang Nannan.

She took out a token engraved with the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda pattern from her soul tool and handed it over.

"Ling Shuang, this is my identity token. If you need anything, you can come to the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School to find me."

"The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School will do its best to help."

Although he dropped out of school, Ning Tian did not give up on his idea of ​​winning over Ling Shuang.

She was very clever and guessed from the academy's actions that Ling Shuang's background must be extraordinary, so she did not invite Ling Shuang to join the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, but only hoped to bring the two sides closer.

"Okay." Ling Shuang accepted the token.

This kind of thing might be useful when it's needed, but if it's not, you won't owe anyone a favor.

He doesn't lack the space to put a token in his storage soul tool.

"Alright, see you next time if we have the chance."

After doing all this, he waved and took Jiang Nannan's hand to say goodbye to Ning Tian and the other person.

The sunlight draped a golden veil over the silhouette.

…………

At the same time, Mu En also learned from the returning academy leaders that Ling Shuang had dropped out of school.

His expression was blank, making it impossible to discern his thoughts.

"So what about Shao Zhe and Qian Duoduo?"

Upon hearing this, the returning college executives exchanged glances, unsure whether they should answer truthfully.

“It’s alright, just tell the truth,” Moon said calmly.

Upon hearing this, after a moment's hesitation, one of the academy's higher-ups stepped forward and stammered, "..."

"Elder Mu, Dean Yan and Dean Qian said they haven't sparred in a long time, so..."

Upon hearing this, Moon's expression darkened.

How could he not understand the truth behind those words?

These two are probably just pretending to be sparring; they probably really dislike each other.

They're all deans and vice deans, yet they're acting like children, fighting and venting their frustrations at a time like this?
"Elder Mu, should we try to persuade Ling Shuang?"

"We should still be able to catch up now."

“No need,” Moon shook his head. “We respect the child’s wishes.”

He actually had a lot of trouble with Ling Shuang, so it was good that she left on her own initiative.

"Oh, right, Elder Mu," the man suddenly remembered something, "there's one more thing."

"what?"

"Ning Tian of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School also dropped out of school today."

"what?!"
