Soul Land: I Became the Pope from the Beginning

Chapter 116: Ma Hongjun Unleashes His Might, Ning Rongrong is Heartbroken.

"Three hundred million!"

Ning Rongrong felt a little sad inside. Why did everyone else not need to pay, but she has to pay? Was it just because she was rich?

Ning Rongrong felt a bit defeated. She hadn't wholeheartedly helped Shrek Academy, but she had contributed three million golden soul coins when Shrek Academy had just changed its name.

Moreover, she had pestered her father to get a simple gravity training device worth ten million and given it to Shrek Academy as a physical training device.

Although it was dismantled within a few days due to the arbitrary actions of those two 'talents,' Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong, she had genuinely put in effort for Shrek Academy.

Those were real golden soul coins, and she hadn't let the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect pay for nothing. She had helped the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect recruit more than ten young geniuses with innate level six soul power, who joined the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and would be its backbone in the future.

She had also done it to promote the relationship between Shrek Academy and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, but why didn't they understand?

Now, others could eat the Immortal Herb for free, but she had to pay for it. Were they treating her, the Little Witch, like a fool?

"Tang San, why don't they have to pay, but I have to pay for this Immortal Herb?"

Ning Rongrong said angrily, looking at the jade box in Tang San's hand with some disbelief, questioning him.

"And how can I confirm that this Immortal Herb can make my Martial Soul evolve? If it fails, wouldn't our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect lose three hundred million golden soul coins for nothing?"

At this moment, Ning Rongrong suddenly gained some sense. After all, she hadn't fully integrated into Shrek, and being isolated made her feel some emotion, but it was no different from how she felt about the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

But Tang San's actions now undoubtedly devalued Shrek in her heart, though she still had some feelings, having stayed there for two years after all.

Just as Ning Rongrong held onto a sliver of hope, the One-Eyed Fire Chicken, Ma Hongjun, stepped forward.

Looking at the frail Ning Rongrong, he first sneered, then loudly reprimanded, "Ning Rongrong, how can you slander a Brother San like this? Could Brother San possibly trick you?"

"No, I'm just saying 'what if'."

Ning Rongrong explained speechlessly. Does this fat guy not understand human language? She already said 'what if,' 'what if,' why did he insist on making her repeat it?

"What 'what if'? We ate them, and our aptitudes all improved, and we all reached Soul Ancestor. Can you reach the Soul Ancestor even if you cultivate for a year?"

Ma Hongjun didn't care about anything. Backed by Tang San, he was tough. Not to mention, Ning Rongrong's sharp edges had already been smoothed out.

"You!"

Ning Rongrong was so angry she was panting, her chest heaving, her face flushed. Ma Hongjun had indeed angered her.

"What 'you'? As our companion, yet you doubt Brother San. Are you still qualified to be our companion?"

Seeing Ning Rongrong fuming for a long time, unable to utter a single word, Ma Hongjun pressed his advantage further.

"At worst, you can withdraw from Shrek Academy and return to your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. After all, you are the Little Princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and have seen the world. You are not someone Shrek can accommodate."

A classic move, leaving Shrek Academy, he had truly grasped Flender's essence.

"I didn't say I didn't want it. I just need to go back and discuss it with my father."

Seeing Ma Hongjun being so unreasonable, Ning Rongrong couldn't be bothered to waste words. After speaking, she turned around without looking back, intending to leave.

Three hundred million golden soul coins, this would directly take away one-fifth of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's assets. While it wouldn't cripple them, it was still a considerable sum.

After all, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's businesses were spread across the continent. Three hundred million, for them, was not comparable to sects like the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, which lacked both strength and financial resources.

Even as the Little Princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, she couldn't dispose of it freely. She still had to seek instructions from Ning Fengzhi first.

"Alright, I'll wait for your news at Shrek Academy."

Tang San had been watching the show. Seeing Ma Hongjun's loyalty, a smile also played on his lips. Good fatty, this time, I'll let you bring Bai Chenxiang to the God Realm.

Ning Rongrong also wanted to leave this troublesome place quickly. As she walked out of Shrek Academy, she finally burst into tears.

Sometimes she also thought she was pathetic, insisting on doing such thankless things. But she had been controlled by Ning Fengzhi since she was little, and had no true friends.

Originally, at Shrek Academy, she thought she could become friends with Zhu Zhuqing. However, Zhu Zhuqing was angered away, and she stayed for another year.

As a result, no matter what she did, she couldn't integrate into the group. Only Oscar would occasionally try to please her.

But how could she not see Oscar's little schemes? He was just coveting her body and family background, though she didn't know why he hadn't been fawning over her recently.

But it didn't matter. She never lacked people fawning over her. She needed friends, friends she could confide in.

She already regretted joining Shrek Academy. Here, she had witnessed the true harshness of society.

Also, because she had helped Shrek too much, her father had become wary of her and no longer seemed close to her.

Instead, he began to focus on cultivating her other brothers. However, Ning Rongrong didn't care about this. It was indeed she who had hurt her father's heart, and she had nothing to say.

Soon, wiping away her tears, Ning Rongrong returned to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and rushed to Ning Fengzhi's discussion room.

At this moment, Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo were also drinking tea in the room. Seeing Ning Rongrong arrive, Bone Douluo also asked curiously, "What's wrong, Rongrong? Didn't you go to Shrek Academy? Why are you back?"

"Father, it's a major matter concerning our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!"

Ning Rongrong's eyes were firm, and she looked a little cute. This amused Ning Fengzhi, who thought that old Flender had somehow bewitched Ning Rongrong again.

"It is a big matter."

Seeing that her father didn't believe her, she quickly recounted the matter of Tang San's Immortal Herb to Ning Fengzhi.

"What?! Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda!"

After Ning Fengzhi finished listening, he could no longer remain calm. He directly spat out the tea he was drinking, his expression exaggerated.

His expression gradually grew excited. He looked at Ning Rongrong, wanting to confirm again.

"It should be true. Others who ate the Immortal Herb directly skipped several levels, breaking through from Soul Elders directly to Soul Ancestor."

After Ning Rongrong finished speaking, Ning Fengzhi believed her by a third. The rest would require his attempt. He immediately looked at Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo.

"Uncle Jian, Uncle Gu, it seems we need to go and take a good look at this young man named Tang San."

"Hmm, an Immortal Herb that can make the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect evolve is truly unheard of. It wouldn't hurt to go and see."

Sword Douluo also knew what the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda meant to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. It was a heaven-defying opportunity to change their destiny.

It could make the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's Martial Soul defect disappear and give birth to a Title Douluo. Therefore, even if it wasn't certain, and just an opportunity, they had to obtain it this time.
