Douluo Continent Villain Simulator: Persecuting Qian Renxue at the Start

Chapter 118 Talent is not a license for recklessness; strength is.

Watching Ning Rongrong run away.

Su Cheng frowned, then turned and walked towards the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Those words could be said to Ning Rongrong, since she is pampered at home, but if she maintains this personality outside, she will suffer sooner or later. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is not some invincible force.

Whether she wants to run away from home or whatever, that's fine with her, but we should still call her to let her know.

As for how to handle the matter afterward, that's Ning Fengzhi's problem, and it has nothing to do with him.

Out of consideration for Chen Xin, Su Cheng was happy to take care of Ning Rongrong as a younger sister. However, they had only known each other for a short time. Some things could be said to others, but as for one's true feelings, one couldn't possibly deceive oneself.

In the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, apart from Chen Xin, he didn't have any deep emotional ties with anyone else.

Saying "friend" is the most you can do.

Moreover, he believed he had done right by Ning Rongrong.

It could even be said that, apart from Qian Renxue in the simulated world, Su Cheng believed he had lived up to the expectations of everyone close to him.

There was always a scale in his heart.

It's okay to put in a little more effort in many things, and it's perfectly acceptable to give first and then take, but you can't go too far.

Ning Rongrong's current behavior has clearly crossed the line.

It is one's own freedom to choose which college to attend.

Whether or not Ning Rongrong chooses to stay at Tiandou Academy is her own decision.

She's not even eleven years old yet, so it's perfectly feasible for her to go to Shrek Academy according to the original timeline.

It is no exaggeration to say that what he gave to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was far more than what he received.

The Qiluo Tulip was given to Ning Rongrong to help her martial soul evolve to the Nine Treasures level.

If we have to say that this was supposed to be her opportunity, then before this, Su Cheng had also given her medicine to improve her foundation.

Besides, he forced Qian Renxue to leave. Although his purpose was to prevent Qian Renxue from wasting her talent here, he also indirectly saved the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School from the misfortune of being massacred by them in the future.

Not to mention that the training environment at Heaven Dou Academy is far superior to that of Shrek Academy.

He does need the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School as a backer at this stage, but even without the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Dugu Bo is not someone to be trifled with. This is just an extra layer of insurance.

Within the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Ning Fengzhi and Chenxin Gurong were somewhat surprised to see Su Cheng returning alone.

"Xiao Cheng, why are you back? Where's Rongrong?"

"Rongrong is upset because I want to enroll in another college, and she's threatening to run away from home. You could try to persuade her."

"What?" Ning Fengzhi was a little confused for a moment.

Ning Rongrong did indeed have a gloomy face when she left the sect.

He initially thought the child was upset because he couldn't bear to part with him.

I was quite moved at the time, but it turns out I was just being sentimental?

"Which direction did he go?" Before Ning Fengzhi could speak, Gu Rong beside him already looked slightly anxious.

"It should be to the west," Su Cheng thought for a moment and pointed in a direction.

"Hmph!" Out of consideration for Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin, Gu Rong didn't say anything more, only snorted coldly, and then turned and left.

He had always doted on Ning Rongrong, so naturally he also harbored resentment towards Su Cheng at this moment.

"Uncle Gu is always like this, Xiao Cheng, don't mind him." Ning Fengzhi said gently to Su Cheng while preparing to go out and look for him as well.

"Cheng'er, why did you want to go to the Five Elements Academy in the first place?"

Seeing that Gu Rong had already gone to look for Ning Rongrong, Chen Xin felt relieved and turned his gaze to Su Cheng, unable to resist asking the question again.

At this moment, Ning Fengzhi, who was originally preparing to leave the sect with Gu Rong, couldn't help but stop and listen.

When Su Cheng mentioned this matter before, he couldn't help but be curious, but he was always reserved and didn't want to ask any more questions if Su Cheng didn't bring it up.

"My soul skills incorporate various elemental attributes, and perhaps the soul ring combinations and soul skill usage at the Elemental Academy can give me some insights. To be honest, I also spent some time at the Heaven Dou Academy, and the environment here didn't help my cultivation much." This explanation, while somewhat far-fetched, was still plausible.

"I see." Chen Xin nodded thoughtfully.

He had previously witnessed Su Cheng's use of soul skills and sword techniques within the sect, and had even provided some guidance on Su Cheng's sword skills using the Seven Kill Sword Technique, so he was clear about the effects of Su Cheng's previous soul rings and talent domain.

As for Su Cheng's situation at the academy, she had learned some things about it through Ning Rongrong.

I know that he mostly cultivates alone and rarely goes with the team or attends classes at the academy.

After exchanging a few more casual words, Su Cheng left the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School for the academy.

As he left, Chen Xin and Ning Fengzhi, who were still in the sect, exchanged a glance, both looking somewhat helpless.

Chen Xin thought for a moment and said to Ning Fengzhi, "Fengzhi, you can't rush things. The two children are still young, and doing things this way could easily backfire."

"I understand, I'll go find her now."

Ning Fengzhi nodded, also feeling that perhaps what he had said earlier was somewhat inappropriate.

"No matter what, you have to persuade Rongrong to come back. Don't let her just enroll in any college."

"Don't worry, Uncle Jian."

Just as Su Cheng rushed back to the academy, Gu Rong also found Ning Rongrong's location by following the direction.

With the powerful perception of a Title Douluo, finding a Great Soul Master like her who hasn't even acquired a third Soul Ring is incredibly easy.

She hadn't gone too far; she was standing under a tree, lost in thought.

Her previous talk of leaving was mostly out of spite; she didn't really want to enroll in another college, and besides, there wasn't any particular place she wanted to go.

Her life has been quite exciting these days, unlike the boring life she had in the sect before.

"Rongrong, what are you thinking about?"

A tall, gaunt old man, resembling a skeleton, descended from the horizon and instantly moved to Ning Rongrong's side, speaking softly in a tone completely at odds with his appearance.

"Grandpa Bone." Ning Rongrong looked up at Gu Rong, her eyes slightly red.

"What's wrong? Who made our little princess angry?" Seeing the look in her eyes, Gu Rong felt a pang of heartache. "Is it because of Su Cheng?"

"..." Upon hearing Su Cheng's name, Ning Rongrong lowered her head and remained silent for a while.

"Ha, I knew it was that kid. I'll go teach him a lesson and avenge you. Does that kid think I won't dare touch him just because that swordsman is protecting him?"

"And there's Poison Douluo too," Ning Rongrong said in a muffled voice, her tone slightly nasal.

"Poison Douluo is nothing, I could beat him up with one hand." Gu Rong pretended to leave, saying, "I'm going to find him at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy right now."

"Grandpa Bone!" Ning Rongrong quickly called out to him, her tone hesitant and aggrieved, "If I encounter danger outside in the future, will you just leave me alone?"

"That's what he said?!" Gu Rong was immediately shocked and furious.

He had previously only guessed that something must have happened between Su Cheng and Ning Rongrong, which led Ning Rongrong to have the idea of ​​running away from home, but he did not expect that there would be such remarks.

Anger surged within him instantly.

If he was just joking a moment ago, he's genuinely a little unhappy now.

"Rongrong." At that moment, another voice came from not far away.

Ning Fengzhi arrived.

"What your brother said isn't wrong. We can't take care of you forever. You need to understand that Uncle Jian and Uncle Gu aren't invincible either. There are far more powerful people in this world than you imagine."

"What nonsense are you spouting?" Gu Rong's eyes widened, and his already withered face suddenly became somewhat frightening. "If you have something to say, say it about yourself. Don't drag me into this. I can take care of Rongrong for the rest of my life."

Ning Fengzhi wasn't afraid of him, but he looked helpless in the face of his scolding.

The two guardian Douluos of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School are powerful and senior, and to him they are like father figures. He often can't refute what they say.

Moreover, it must be said that seven or eight out of ten of Ning Rongrong's current bad habits are due to their spoiling.

"Okay, okay, I won't say anything more."

Ning Fengzhi didn't want to argue with him, nor did he dare to. He turned to Ning Rongrong and said softly, "Actually, your brother is still worried about you. After you left, he came to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to find us and told us where you were."

"Really?"

"If you don't believe me, ask your old man with bones. How do you think we found our way here?"

Ning Rongrong's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and she turned her gaze to the ancient banyan tree.

"……snort."

Gu Rong frowned at her hopeful eyes and reluctantly agreed.

"Rongrong, listen to your father and go back to the academy," Ning Fengzhi said gently. "You should know that Xiao Cheng has done a lot for you, and your martial soul was able to evolve thanks to him. Besides, we will feel at ease if you stay by his side in the future."

In fact, Ning Rongrong herself understood these principles, but that's just her nature; when emotions run high, she inevitably loses control.

Now that things have calmed down, and with Ning Fengzhi's words of comfort, the previous emotions have gradually dissipated.

He nodded silently.

"Go back and have a good talk with Xiaocheng. Whatever your brother said to you, I believe it was all for your own good. Don't be so willful in the future."

"Rongrong, don't listen to your dad. Do whatever you want. If anything happens, your grandpa will back you up."

Ning Fengzhi gave another bitter smile upon hearing this.

After returning to the academy, Su Cheng first went to see Dugu Bo.

Although Qian Renxue has left the Heaven Dou Empire, he still remains in the academy.

After all, Su Cheng had not yet treated the poison in his body.

Su Cheng sought him out precisely for this reason.

They planned to go to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye together in a few days to help him detoxify.

While we're at it, let's help him choose a suitable immortal herb to take, so that he can strengthen his foundation and break through to the peak Douluo realm in the future.

When Su Cheng came out of the team's rest room, he saw Ning Rongrong standing under a tree not far away, silently looking in his direction.

When she saw him come out, her eyes lit up, but she seemed a little hesitant.

Su Cheng thought for a moment, then decided not to ignore it and walked over.

He had no intention of arguing with the other party.

In Su Cheng's eyes, Ning Rongrong was just a child.

Now that she's back at the academy, it must be that Ning Fengzhi persuaded her to stay.

"Want to grab a bite to eat together?"

Ning Rongrong nodded silently and followed Su Cheng towards the restaurant.

"...Brother, do you look down on me?" Ning Rongrong suddenly asked softly halfway through the walk.

Su Cheng was somewhat surprised by her statement.

He had never had such an idea.

Everyone has their own way of living. If he himself is not even at peace, why should he have the leisure to judge others?

Although he wasn't particularly interested in teaching children, he softened a bit when he saw Ning Rongrong's attitude.

He couldn't help but sigh.

"You're overthinking it, Rongrong. I've never looked down on you. You're talented, from a good family, and the princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, everyone's darling. It's perfectly normal for you to have a sense of superiority. I'm just a Soul Venerable, my cultivation isn't much higher than yours. I have no right to point fingers at you, much less to look down on you."

Su Cheng kept walking, speaking softly as he went.

"As I said before, everyone has their own choices. As long as you are prepared and don't regret it later, that's fine. At home, you can rely on your talents to act recklessly, but outside, people only recognize the size of your fist."

His gaze was fixed on the distance, his eyes vacant, as if lost in memories of the past.

"Among the people I know, there are two whose backgrounds are no worse than yours, and one of them is even more talented than you. I am ashamed of myself for not being as talented as her. But she has never been willful or reckless because of her talent even once."

Ning Rongrong remained silent and followed quietly behind him.

After a long silence, he said in a low voice, "You mean the woman who impersonated Xue Qinghe that day?"

Su Cheng's eyes twitched, not understanding how she made that connection.

I'm planning to adjust my update schedule later, and see if I can combine several chapters from each day into one post. Dear readers, please don't wait up to the last minute!
