"Of course you can. Didn't you almost kill Rongrong back then?"

"Uncle doesn't blame you anymore, no! Uncle has never blamed you!"

"Because in your uncle's eyes, you and Rongrong are both my children."

Ning Fengzhi answered the question almost without hesitation.

He's smart; anyway, this is just a hypothetical scenario, nothing will actually happen.

He was willing to tell that lie again if it could win back Gu Rong and Gu Yi.

"Clap clap clap!"

Suddenly, a round of applause came from behind Ning Fengzhi.

"What a touching scene, Sect Leader Ning."

"You almost believed me."

Along with the applause, these harsh words were also uttered.

Everyone looked over at the sound, only to see that Ghost and his group had somehow gotten to the side and were now looking at them with mockery.

"Huh? Old Ghost, what's it to you?"

"Get out of my way, or I'll make you hit me."

Just as Ning Fengzhi was about to succeed, Gui Mei suddenly interrupted. Could Chen Xin tolerate this?

He summoned the Seven Kill Sword and held it in his hand, aiming it at the ghost.

"Hmph! Gu Rong and Gu Yi are, after all, elders and students of my Spirit Hall. Am I not allowed to do anything about them?"

"But your sect leader Ning Fengzhi, tsk tsk tsk, he really knows how to tell a good lie."

"I'm almost starting to believe it."

"How about I go and bring Ning Rongrong here right now, and then dump her on Gu Yi to get revenge?"

"After he's done killing, you'll suddenly have a change of heart and forgive him?"

The ghost said with great disdain.

His question left Ning Fengzhi speechless, because he knew that if he answered like that now, Gui Mei might actually do such a thing.

"you dare!"

Chen Xin unleashed an unparalleled sword aura, ready to attack the ghost.

"Stop! Uncle Jian, let's go."

Ning Fengzhi stopped Chen Xin; he didn't want to offend the Spirit Hall again.

His strength is already weak, and if he offends the Spirit Hall, his sect might suddenly disappear from the continent tomorrow.

Just like the Haotian Sect before.

"Humph!"

Chen Xin snorted coldly. Although she was very angry, she chose to listen to Ning Fengzhi.

He glanced coldly at Gu Yi and Gui Mei, then left with Ning Fengzhi.

"Thank you."

After watching Ning Fengzhi's departing figure, Gu Yi turned to thank Gui Mei.

The situation might have been even more complicated if he hadn't interfered.

"Nana taught me how to make this. If you want to thank someone, thank her."

Ghost had no intention of taking credit, and while speaking, she pushed Hu Liena forward.

He has never been good at handling these kinds of things.

"Thank you very much. I'll thank you again when I have the chance."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yi looked at Hu Liena and said softly.

"Ah."

Hu Liena nodded in agreement.

She believed that this opportunity shouldn't be too far away.

Chapter 114 Accident

"Go back, Grandpa, don't think about this troublesome matter anymore."

"In fact, you know in your heart that he just wants to use you."

Gu Yi walked slowly to Gu Rong's side and said softly.

"I understand. Don't worry, Grandpa will always be on your side."

"As for the rest, I won't consider them anymore."

Gu Rong nodded, patted Gu Yi on the shoulder, and then disappeared from the spot.

He went back to his quiet room. Today's events had indeed troubled him, and he needed to calm down.

"Then let's go, Nana, there's nothing more for us to do here."

Seeing that the matter was over, Ghost thought of taking Hu Liena and the others back with him.

But Hu Liena shook her head.

"Elder Ghost, you should go back first. I'll go back later."

She still had some things to do and didn't want to go back to the Spirit Hall just yet.

"Okay, then I'll leave first."

After saying that, the ghost transformed into a wisp of black mist and disappeared from everyone's sight.

"Do you have anything else to do?"

Seeing that Hu Liena was unwilling to leave, Gu Yi inquired.

“I think you should come back to the Spirit Hall with me, instead of staying here.”

Hu Liena glanced at the sign for the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy and gave a reminder.

“I still have things to do here, so I can’t leave for the time being. This is a personal agreement between me and Dugu Bo.”

Gu Yi explained calmly.

"So you returned to Heaven Dou City to fulfill your promise to Dugu Bo?"

Hu Liena pressed for an answer again.

"This is just one of them, but most of it is my business, and it's not convenient for me to tell you anymore."

Gu Yi had only explained for so long because she had helped him earlier, but he couldn't say any more.

"I see, okay, I understand."

"If you have time, go check out the qualifiers. I'll probably be there for the next month."

"Goodbye."

After saying all this, Hu Liena left with Xie Yue.

This time, only this time, she finally clearly felt the distance between herself and Gu Yi.

"Hey! Kid, you really are...tsk tsk tsk."

Dugu Bo, who had been standing to the side for a while, finally got a chance to speak.

He could tell that Hu Liena seemed to have a bit of a thing for Gu Yi, but as for Gu Yi...

"Alright, thank you, Dugu Bo. I know you came out because you were worried about my grandfather."

"Thank you."

Gu Yi interrupted Dugu Bo and sincerely thanked him.

"No need, I wasn't much of a help. I just came to watch the show. Now that the show is over, I should go."

With that, Dugu Bo turned and walked into the academy, quickly disappearing from sight.

At this time, only Zhu Zhuqing remained by Gu Yi's side.

She watched Gu Yi's retreating figure, then slowly walked up to him, gently patted his shoulder, and softly asked, "Can the peach blossom pastries I bought still be eaten?"

"I think I'm a little hungry now."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yi smiled, took Zhu Zhuqing's right hand, led her to a shady spot in the academy, and brought out the peach blossom pastry from earlier.

He took out a piece and carefully fed it into Zhu Zhuqing's mouth.

"Actually, I'm just angry, you don't need to worry about me."

While feeding, Gu Yi again

He spoke.

"Oh? What are you angry about? I didn't know that."

Zhu Zhuqing, while eating, asked the question with feigned confusion.

"Hehe! I'm angry that they underestimated you so much. You're the one who's been wronged the most."

“They should be apologizing to you the most, but in order to get me and my grandfather to go back, they have been begging for my forgiveness and have completely ignored you.”

"Clearly... you are the victim."

If Ning Fengzhi had noticed Zhu Zhuqing just now, if he had apologized to Zhu Zhuqing, Gu Yi might still consider him the 'Uncle Ning' from before.

But he didn't. From beginning to end, all he thought about was profit. He only thought about what would happen if the sect lost an elder and a genius.

I never thought about who he should apologize to.

"Since that's the case, I'm not angry, so why are you?"

Zhu Zhuqing's face was full of a happy smile, and she asked again.
