Chapter 80 Brother Su Cheng, Long Time No See

"Brother, where are you taking me?"

At this moment, Ning Rongrong's gentle voice suddenly interrupted Su Cheng's thoughts.

He snapped out of his daze and laughed, "What? Are you afraid I'll sell you off, young lady?"

"Of course not." Ning Rongrong rolled her eyes. "I'm talking to you seriously."

"Do you remember what I told you a few months ago? I made a deal with Dugu Bo. He has a rare plant that is extremely compatible with you, and today I will give you this opportunity."

Ning Rongrong certainly wouldn't forget this matter, but she never expected that her trip to Sunset Forest was for this reason.

"Why come here? Can't we just wait for him to go back to the academy?"

"That stuff might cause quite a stir after you take it, so it's not very convenient to use it in the academy," Su Cheng said casually.

"Since your cultivation level has increased by two levels since you enrolled, you can come here under the pretext of training, which won't arouse suspicion. Moreover, when you take the herbs later, a Title Douluo will be there to protect you, so there's no need to worry about any accidents."

Ning Rongrong was taken aback upon hearing this.

She didn't care what she did outside, but she didn't expect to come outside the academy specifically to take herbal medicine.

Ning Rongrong was quick-witted and immediately grasped the key point in Su Cheng's words.

Neither the initial potion to enhance her soul power nor the medicinal baths that were later given to her to improve her physique had ever been treated with such seriousness.

This immediately sparked a sense of anticipation within her, and she couldn't help but ask, "What do you mean by 'quite a commotion'?"

"Don't worry, you'll find out soon enough." Su Cheng smiled, without saying anything explicitly.

Judging from the original timeline, this girl has a proud yet somewhat naive personality.

Anyone who has ever helped her greatly will be repaid with unwavering devotion. She even went so far as to swindle a large sum of money from her own sect for Tang San's sake.

After observing Ning Rongrong for some time, he confirmed that her personality had not changed at all.

This is why he was confident that he could use this opportunity to manipulate the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School into losing the struggle for the crown prince.

The reason for choosing the Qiluo tulip is quite simple: since we already have the correct answer, there is no need to try any more.

Other immortal herbs may have similar effects. These powerful immortal treasures generally have the function of purifying or even upgrading bloodlines.

As long as the attributes match, there will definitely be an improvement, but the degree of compatibility is hard to say.

The medicinal power of the immortal herb is too strong for a mortal body to fully digest. Eating too much of it is no different from taking poison, so there is only one chance.

The two chatted casually as they walked quickly.

Before long, they had traveled nearly ten miles, leaving the outermost area of ​​Sunset Forest.

This place is not far from where Su Cheng and Dugu Bo agreed to meet.

At this moment, Su Cheng's expression suddenly changed.

He reached out and grabbed Ning Rongrong's wrist, whispering, "Do your best to conceal your aura!"

Seeing his serious expression, Ning Rongrong wisely refrained from asking any further questions and quickly did as he instructed.

Although their auras were weak at this moment, it would be difficult for others to detect them without deliberate probing.

Su Cheng, however, was not optimistic.

Two powerful auras were rapidly approaching from a distance, their paths clearly defined.

It's highly likely that after spotting the two of them, they came straight towards them.

Most importantly, those two people were much stronger than him, with one of them even reaching the level of a Title Douluo.

A moment later, in Su Cheng's perception, two figures stopped one after the other in the nearby jungle.

Su Cheng's heart sank, and his mind raced.

He came from an ordinary background with a very clear background and not many powerful forces behind him. Apart from Chen Xin and Dugu Bo, he had no connection with other Title Douluo-level beings.

This means that the other party is very likely targeting Ning Rongrong.

But the two people's positions were a bit strange, as if the one with the lower strength was in charge.

"Come out, you two, stop hiding."

Just as Su Cheng was pondering, a slightly aged voice rang out.

It was that titled Douluo who spoke.

"If I drag you out, things might not look so good."

Ning Rongrong's eyes widened slightly upon hearing this, and she looked at Su Cheng beside her.

She then gently struggled to free her left arm, which was being held tightly by the other person.

At this moment, she thought the same thing as Su Cheng, believing that the other party was most likely there for her.

Her actions at this moment were intended to make Su Cheng loosen his grip so that she could leave alone.

Su Cheng ignored her actions.

There's no point in separating now. Even if his cultivation level is low, the other party would never ignore him.

If these two harbor ill intentions, leaving Ning Rongrong would actually put me in greater danger. At least given Ning Rongrong's status, whoever the other party is, they should think twice before taking action.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School rarely makes enemies, and it's even better if the other party has something to ask for.

"I can only try to stall for time for now," Su Cheng thought to himself, while hoping that Dugu Bo would discover the situation here as soon as possible and come over.

Thinking of this, he led Ning Rongrong out from behind the tree where they were hiding.

But to his surprise, the person who came was actually Xue Qinghe, disguised as Qian Renxue!

Xue Qinghe walked slowly from a distance, his Soul Emperor-level cultivation being displayed without restraint.

Beside him stood an elderly man of medium build, neither too thin nor too fat, who appeared utterly unremarkable. However, judging by his cultivation level, he was clearly a Title Douluo-level expert!

Xue Qinghe looked at Su Cheng with a half-smile on his face.

He sighed softly, "Brother Su Cheng, it's been a long time. I didn't expect to run into you here by such a coincidence."

Seeing that the other party had directly revealed his Soul Emperor cultivation level, Su Cheng immediately sensed something was wrong and blurted out in surprise, "Little...Brother Xue?!"

"Brother Xiaoxue?"

Xue Qinghe gave him a strange look. "Your way of addressing me is quite interesting."

His gaze immediately shifted to Su Cheng's right hand, which was gripping Ning Rongrong's wrist.

"Looks like you're not content with just being a Sword Douluo's apprentice; you want to become Ning Fengzhi's son-in-law too?"

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Ning Rongrong retorted, her face flushed red.

She also realized that something seemed off about Xue Qinghe in front of her.

The other party was neither as polite and gentle as when they met at the academy last time, nor as cold and ruthless as rumored.

Instead, it exudes a powerful sense of control over everything, seemingly mixed with a subtle feeling of ease and freedom after shedding burdens.

At the same time, the girl's keen intuition told her that the person in front of her harbored great malice towards her and seemed about to tear her apart at any moment.

Su Cheng didn't speak, nor did he pay attention to the other party's sarcastic tone.

In fact, he no longer has time to concern himself with such trivial matters.

He had a premonition that this time, something big was about to happen!

It seems he went too far.
