Douluo Continent: After my true feelings were exposed, I was forced to become the group's darli

What empty promises...

Ning Shu really wanted to say that this was just her wishful thinking, and that the other party only agreed because of her.

Ning Shu felt really helpless, but she couldn't tell the truth.

Ning Qi looked at her, and tears suddenly welled up in her eyes, as if she had been thinking of something sad: "A-Shu, please don't do anything foolish!"

Ning Shu: "..."

Help! Sometimes it really feels so helpless.

However, Ning Qi was just showing her concern, and she was certainly not the kind of person who wouldn't appreciate kindness.

Ning Shu said, "Alright, Seventh Grandfather, this is a good thing, how did it become a foolish thing? I made this decision after careful consideration, so don't worry! You're making it sound like I'm going to my death, it's too sentimental."

Isn't that just going to one's death?

Ning Qi's thoughts were written all over his face. Seeing Ning Shu's insistence, he knew there was no room for negotiation, so he decided to tell Ning Shu what he had found out.

"Alright, alright, whatever makes you happy, A-Shu!" Ning Qi sighed. "But Grandpa has something else to tell you."

"Grandpa, do you want to talk about the Phantom Bell Clan?" Ning Shu asked.

Ning Qi was surprised: "You knew?"

Ning Shu nodded: "My father has already told me, and I know some of the things involved. Seventh Grandfather, I know what you want to say and what you mean, but this is my own decision, and I will not make any changes."

"..."

Ning Qi looked at Ning Shu for a long time, then sighed again.

So this girl knew everything.

Ugh.

Ning Qi said, "Since you already know, Grandpa won't waste his breath. But A-Shu, Grandpa still wants to remind you that in this world, interests are always more important than anything else. Feelings are not worth believing in. You need to clearly understand the meaning of 'community of shared interests'."

Ultimately, Ning Qi was still worried that Xue Qinghe's actions were motivated by the Huanling clan's bloodline in Ning Shu.

But Ning Qi's thinking is understandable, as things are just too coincidental.

Ning Shu never expected to learn about her background at this critical juncture, and there seemed to be a huge vortex involved.

However, Ning Qi was doing all this for her own good, and Ning Shu was very grateful: "I understand, Grandpa Qi, I will be careful."

"Okay, I understand." Ning Qi nodded, and had nothing more to say.

Then, he looked at Hu Liena beside him: "Little girl, when did you get here? Where's your brother? Didn't he come?"

Hu Liena was suddenly called upon and paused for a moment, then said, "No, my brother is here."

"They're here? Where are they?" Ning Qi looked around but didn't see anyone.

So it turns out this kid did take some action after all!

Hu Liena said, "He went to help Uncle Shui with his work."

"Hmm?" Ning Qi frowned. "That brat Yu Shui, how could he let a guest work for him? He has absolutely no manners!"

"No, no, it was my brother who insisted on going," Hu Liena explained.

Do you really have to go?

Ning Qi thought for a moment.

Also.

That's normal for that kid's personality.

"Alright then." Ning Qi nodded. "In that case, I'll be leaving now. Ah Shu, remember what your grandfather said: don't be so carefree and irresponsible, taking nothing seriously!"

"I understand, Grandpa, I know what I'm doing!" Ning Shu replied, and also got up to see him off.

"Goodbye, Seventh Grandpa," Hu Liena said.

Ning Qi laughed, waved his hand, and left.

After Ning Qi left, Ning Shu continued to read the palace rules with Hu Liena.

Several months have passed in the blink of an eye.

Emperor Xueye's decree has been issued, and Ning Shu is the designated Crown Princess. However, court etiquette cannot be learned in a short time, and the Crown Princess's appearance cannot be casual. Ning Shu is not very old yet, so Emperor Xueye has set the wedding for two years later.

That is, after the All-Continent Elite Soul Master Tournament.

Ning Shu was a little depressed. Her original goal was just to go to the Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace and get closer to Qian Renxue as soon as possible. Who knew that Emperor Xueye would issue such an edict? Now, her dream of becoming the Crown Princess will have to wait two years to come.

Ugh.

Why not stage a palace coup and become empress?

Ning Shu pondered to herself.

This dragging on isn't a solution.

With the help of celestial treasures, it's only a matter of time before Qian Renxue lays a solid foundation. If she starts working on becoming a god as soon as possible, she probably won't even have to wait for Tang San to grow up before a new generation of angel gods descends.

Who came up with the idea of ​​going undercover? It's a complete hindrance to someone becoming a god.

Ning Shu pouted, looking a little annoyed.

Even if she went to Qian Renxue now and suggested an early palace coup, Qian Renxue might not actually do it. She's just a nobody; it's no wonder Qian Renxue wouldn't even give her a second thought.

Ning Shu lay on the table, feeling that all the palace rules she had learned had been for nothing.

But this news was excellent for Yu Shui and his group.

They were not too happy about Ning Shu marrying Xue Qinghe in the first place, but now that Emperor Xue Ye has issued a decree, everything is fine.

They even plan to have a special celebration for it.

Only Ning Shu's sad world was achieved.

A few months later, it was Chinese New Year again. Ning Rongrong returned from Shrek Academy. Although her soul power level had increased considerably, it was still within the normal threshold, so Ning Fengzhi and the others didn't say much.

Ning Shu smiled. It was all thanks to her having taken the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well beforehand; otherwise, they might have gotten their hands on it.

At the family dinner, Ning Rongrong would undoubtedly be eating at the same table as Ning Shu. Her hostility towards Ning Shu wasn't actually that obvious anymore, but because of their previous bad relationship, it wouldn't change in a short time. In addition, since Ning Shu wasn't at Shrek Academy, the two rarely interacted, which naturally led to a somewhat awkward relationship.

At the table, there were only two people of the same age, but neither of them spoke to the other. However, since Ning Shu had returned to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and had been incorporated into the clan, logically speaking, Ning Rongrong should call Ning Shu "elder sister".

Ning Fengzhi had already reminded Ning Rongrong, and although Ning Rongrong was still a little reluctant, she still greeted Ning Shu with "Hello, sister."

Ning Shu nodded expressionlessly, taking it as an agreement.

After finishing her meal, Ning Shu planned to go straight back to the backyard. Not long after she left, Ning Rongrong, who had come out to chase after her, called her back.

"Ning Shu!"

This is really not being polite at all.

Ning Shu stopped and turned to look at Ning Rongrong: "Is something the matter?"

Ning Rongrong nodded slightly, looking a little awkward: "I heard your soul power level has reached level fifty, is that true?"

"Of course it's true," Ning Shu said quietly. "What, do you want to know how I got to level 50?"
