In the corner, Tang Hao's brows furrowed even deeper.
Is this still the same Ning Rongrong?
Back at Shrek Academy, this little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was incredibly arrogant and haughty.
Even Oscar, the exceptionally talented food-type Soul Master, didn't bother to give him a second glance.
But what about now?
Before this Blue Silver King, she was utterly humbled, like a mere flaunting maid!
The contrast is just too great!
On the other side, a chill flashed in Xue Qinghe's golden pupils.
Zhu Zhuqing was already enough to annoy her, and now Ning Rongrong, who was practically throwing herself at her, had appeared.
She picked up her wine glass and looked at Ning Fengzhi not far away.
"Sect Leader Ning, is your sect's princess so ignorant of etiquette?"
Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi showed no embarrassment whatsoever; instead, he revealed a profound and enigmatic smile.
"Your Highness is too kind."
"Children and grandchildren have their own blessings; let the young people handle their own affairs."
He paused, then changed the subject.
"Moreover, it is my Rongrong's good fortune to be able to get to know such an extraordinary figure as the Blue Silver King."
"Whether it's strength, talent, or current power, how many people on the continent can compare to His Highness the Blue Silver King?"
Ning Fengzhi's gaze drifted almost imperceptibly to Zhu Zhuqing, who was standing next to Tang Qing.
"Your Highness, look at that young lady from the Zhu family. When she was sent here four years ago, she was only at the level of twenty-six."
"And now?"
Level 53!
"In just four years, his soul power has increased by twenty-seven levels! What a terrifying rate of improvement! It's simply unheard of!"
"If Rongrong could receive a word or two of guidance from His Majesty the Blue Silver King, or even... perhaps establish some connection with His Majesty..."
Ning Fengzhi didn't say anything more, but the meaning behind his words was self-evident.
"Then her future is limitless!"
As Xue Qinghe finished speaking, Ning Fengzhi simply smiled without saying a word.
He looked at his daughter.
Ning Rongrong understood.
Her father was paving the way for her and creating opportunities for her.
She took a deep breath, suppressing all her pride and reserve.
In those beautiful, watery eyes, only resolute determination remained.
The next moment.
Under the gaze of hundreds of eyes, the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School made a move that left everyone speechless.
"Thump."
Her knees buckled, and she knelt directly in front of Tang Qing.
The hem of the colorful glass dress spread out on the smooth floor like a blooming flower.
Her kneeling posture, however, perfectly accentuated her breathtaking figure.
Especially her long legs, which were mostly covered by her long skirt but whose straight outline could still be seen, were incredibly alluring in this pose.
The entire venue fell into dead silence once again.
You could hear a pin drop.
Everyone was completely stunned by Ning Rongrong's sudden kneeling.
Even Ning Fengzhi, who was usually calm, suddenly had his pupils shrink.
He wanted his daughter to seize the opportunity, but he didn't expect her to use such an... extreme method.
"Rongrong..."
He spoke instinctively.
However, Ning Rongrong seemed not to hear.
She raised her delicate, beautiful face, her eyes reddening, and looked at Tang Qing with a pitiful expression.
The voice trembled slightly, yet it carried with unparalleled clarity throughout the entire hall.
"Your Majesty, the Blue Silver King."
"Rongrong... I humbly beg Your Majesty to accept me as your disciple!"
These words shocked everyone present!
Becoming an apprentice?
The little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, the legitimate daughter of the three upper sects, wants to become the disciple of this newly promoted Blue Silver King.
This is a huge amount of information!
Ning Rongrong knelt on the ground, leaning slightly forward, presenting her most perfect posture to Tang Qing's gaze.
She had her own plans in mind.
Ning Rongrong didn't believe it.
She didn't believe that Tang Qing would directly reject her in front of almost all the top powers on the continent.
This is not just Ning Rongrong's personal matter, but also concerns the face of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, which has just announced its submission!
He has just subdued the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and is in the process of establishing his authority. He wouldn't dare to immediately slap the face of his newly acquired forces, would he?
As long as he accepts me, even if it's just as a nominal disciple...
Then you've won!
She could receive guidance from this unfathomable Blue Silver King, just like Zhu Zhuqing, and soar to great heights!
However, Tang Qing's reaction was completely unexpected.
He maintained his usual relaxed and leisurely posture, holding a wine glass and gently swirling the amber liquid inside.
"Want to become my disciple?"
He chuckled softly, as if he had heard something amusing.
"you?"
"You're not qualified."
The color drained from Ning Rongrong's face in an instant.
She abruptly raised her head, staring incredulously at the man on the throne.
You refused?
He... just rejected me so directly?
In front of everyone!
Humiliation, resentment, and confusion overwhelmed her like a tidal wave.
Her pride, her pride as the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, was shattered to pieces at this moment.
This is the second time.
And this time, it's still at this grand event that will determine the landscape of the mainland.
She felt as if all the gazes around her were needles piercing her, making her feel utterly ashamed.
In the hall, many sect leaders and clan chiefs who had originally had the same idea were secretly glad that they hadn't let their juniors take the lead.
The way the Blue Silver King acts is really... unpredictable.
Just as Ning Rongrong was so embarrassed that she almost fainted, Tang Qing's voice rang out again.
He stood up and his gaze swept across the entire room.
"I know what you're thinking."
"They want to send their own talented juniors to me, climb the social ladder, and rise to the top in one step."
His voice wasn't loud, but it made everyone straighten their backs and dare not be negligent in the slightest.
"Stop having any thoughts of using connections."
"but..."
He then changed the subject.
"It's not that I won't give you a chance."
Everyone immediately perked up their ears.
"From this day forward, I will establish an academy in the North."
"It is called the Blue Silver Holy Court Academy."
"Regardless of background or origin, anyone who is a genius is welcome to come."
"I will consider taking the most outstanding one as my personal disciple."
boom!
These words were like a bombshell, exploding in the crowd.
The Blue Silver King is opening an academy!
This is far more significant than taking on one or two apprentices!
This is about establishing a sect and creating their own direct lineage!
For all the major powers present, this was absolutely fantastic news!
Even if their own descendants cannot become personal disciples, as long as they graduate from the Blue Silver Holy Court Academy, it is equivalent to being labeled as the Blue Silver King!
This is an incredibly powerful connection!
"certainly."
Tang Qing's voice rang out again, tinged with amusement.
"Since my academy is going to open, then there is no need for those messy, unqualified, and shady academies on my territory to exist."
"I will send people to eliminate them one by one."
