Douluo Continent: So What If I Reincarnate as Ning Rongrong?

Chapter 255 Qian Daoliu Comes to Steal the Tower

"What exactly are they here for?"

They came in a flurry of activity, making a big show of it, but left seemingly without getting anything.

Are you bored out of your mind?

Looking at the closed door of the private room, Dugu Yan was speechless.

Ning Rongrong shrugged and said, "Their goal is to win over the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. Even if they fail, it's not a complete loss."

"The main reason is that they want to know the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's stance from us."

"Standing?" Dugu Yan turned her head. "You mean, we should take the neutral stance?"

"I don't understand why he didn't go to Uncle Ning, but instead came to ask you?"

"Furthermore, you said yourself that there are not only soldiers here, but also two Soul Saints and several Soul Emperors lying in ambush. Is it really as Avalanche just said, to protect themselves?"

"Protect yourselves? That's a joke!" Ning Rongrong tapped her fingers on the table. "Those Soul Emperors and Soul Saints might just be here to capture us and then try to frame Xue Qinghe for our disappearance."

"They only became wary after I pointed it out."

"Is such a thing possible?" Dugu Yan's eyelids twitched.

Do you think Ning Fengzhi is stupid?

If someone disappears in Barak City, how can they frame Xue Qinghe? Wouldn't that be adding unnecessary complications?

"They can use decoys and doubles. As long as we disappear, they can take one or two doubles to the Heavenly Dou Empire and kill them, then destroy the evidence. They might actually be able to do it."

"Just as he said, there is a rift between the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and Xue Qinghe, and Xue Qinghe has also won over the Spirit Hall."

"According to the information I have received, many of the Spirit Hall's spirit masters have already infiltrated the army."

"In his mind, it's not impossible that Xue Qinghe would discard him after he's served his purpose."

"If the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School kills Xue Qinghe, then Avalanche can make a big move."

"For example, Xue Qinghe is a fake. Anyway, most of the nobles are on Xue Beng's side, and they are just being suppressed by Xue Qinghe now."

"With Xue Qinghe dead, the Spirit Hall has no reason to interfere anymore. The three upper sects are closely linked, and the Spirit Hall's encroachment on the Heaven Dou Sect can only come to an abrupt end, otherwise it might have triggered a war across the entire continent."

There's one more thing Ning Rong didn't say.

According to Xue Beng's plan, Xue Qinghe would probably die, and it would be the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School that killed him. As long as he is not exposed, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School can only stand on Xue Beng's side.

"With such a long-term project and plan, isn't that guy worried about oversights or unforeseen complications?"

Ning Rongrong's interpretation caused Dugu Yan's lips to twitch slightly, even though his mind was blank.

Unexpectedly, Xue Beng, who seemed to have reformed, was still full of evil intentions and wanted to kill her and Ning Rongrong.

"Avalanche doesn't have many cards left to play."

"Perhaps, as Xue Qinghe has claimed, the Laxingluo Empire will enter the game."

"So that I can snatch chestnuts from the fire."

Xue Qinghe used Ge Long's death to secretly claim that the Star Luo Empire killed Marshal Tian Dou and was also related to the rebel leader "Avalanche".

However, since only a marshal died in this incident, and there was no large-scale military mobilization in Xingluo, many people still had doubts.

The core of Avalanche's power base is the nobility. As long as Xue Qinghe is killed, they can rightfully inherit the throne. What imperial edict is Avalanche's doing?

What does it matter?

Xue Qinghe's policy inclinations involve the interests of many former nobles of the Tiandou Empire.

As long as Xue Qinghe is removed from Xue Beng's list, those old guys will have plenty of people to endorse Xue Beng.

There is another prerequisite: the army must not be completely controlled by Xue Qinghe.

If the army falls into disarray, then there will be serious trouble, which is why avalanches are in a hurry.

"Rongrong, aren't you angry?" Dugu Yan looked at Ning Rongrong, her tone calm, with some curiosity.

"Well, what's there to be angry about?" Ning Rongrong shrugged. "I don't care what other people think. Besides, why would I argue with someone who's about to die?"

Xue Beng won't be able to keep going for long. Xue Qinghe isn't killing Xue Beng because now is not the right time.

Xue Qinghe still needs Qian Renxue and the Spirit Hall to fully enter the Heaven Dou Empire's sphere of influence, and the best time is now to confront Xue Beng and the Star Luo Empire.

Seeing the worry on Dugu Yan's face, Ning Rongrong smiled and said, "On the Douluo Continent, the number of people is meaningless to powerful Soul Masters."

"For example, your grandfather, Senior Dugu, could wipe out an army of hundreds of thousands in a short time without much effort if he wanted to."

"And Sister Yan Yan, you have an advantage over Senior Dugu in terms of poisons."

"Rongrong, are you praising me...? Why does it sound so creepy?"

Dugu Yan remained silent for a moment.

How could a child so calmly utter words that could casually cause hundreds of thousands of people to die from poisoning?

That's a human being!

It's not hundreds of thousands of pigs.

Ning Rongrong and Dugu Yan did not linger in the troublesome Kingdom of Barak for long, and set off for the City of Four Elements.

Several more days passed.

Travel-worn Ning Rongrong and Dugu Yan arrived within the boundaries of the Four Elements City. The two first paid the gatekeepers with Soul Coins as an entry fee.

"What a vibrant city."

After entering the city gate, the two discovered that it was different from other cities.

It wasn't deathly silent, but rather brimming with youthful energy.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. Most of the cities where the students live are vibrant and full of youthful energy.

This is the location of the four major academies, no, it should be the five major academies.

Just like there are five of the Four Heavenly Kings, it's normal.

That's right, the extra students were the later Elephant Armor Academy, not the transfer students of the Elemental Academy.

The admission requirement is that one must have a mammoth physique.

Being broad and stout is a must. In terms of sheer size, even Yu Yuanzhen, the sect leader of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect, was not qualified to enroll because he was not big enough.

"Hmm, Rongrong, how much do you know about the Four Elements Academy?" Dugu Yan asked curiously.

"It doesn't matter, they're not at Qian Renxue's level anyway."

Dugu Yan: "..."

Comparing someone to Qian Renxue, who is at the 20th level of the Innate Realm, is that not making things difficult for her?

"Let's find a place to stay first." Ning Rongrong looked at the map she had just bought, which marked the location of the Five Elements Academy. However, she was not interested in that. Instead, she was interested in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, which actually had a trading branch here.

Well, thinking about it, that makes sense...

If those who sell pills don't sell to students, who else can they sell to?

Students are the real consumers.

Thus, the two easily found a hotel exclusively operated by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

That's the difference between having money and connections!

There's no need to worry about anything else; just being there is the best thing. Staying at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's hotel feels like coming home.

"Beep beep—beep beep beep beep—"

Ning Rongrong and Dugu Yan packed up and were just about to go out for a stroll in the city.

The jade pendant hanging around Ning Rongrong's neck emitted a faint glow.

"Huh, something happened to Shui Cangyue?" Ning Rongrong took off the jade pendant and placed it in front of her, using her mental power to probe the information on the jade pendant.

"Oh no!" Ning Rongrong's expression changed drastically. "What I feared most has happened."

Seeing the change in Ning Rongrong's expression, Dugu Yan asked, "What happened?"

"Set up the spacetime coordinates here so we can move here next time."

"We have to go back," Ning Rongrong murmured, a hint of worry in her voice. "I'm afraid the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will have to mobilize its entire force this time."

The Nine-Treasure Glazed Pagoda appeared in her palm, and Ning Rongrong threw out Tokisaki Kurumi, who was sleeping inside.

"Wake up, wake up!"

"Qian Daoliu has come to steal the tower."
