Chapter 44: Pursuing Funds.
"Huh?"
She carefully felt it, and a look of surprise appeared on her little face.
"Brother Ye! Brother Ye! Come quick!"
Ye Xuanming ran out upon hearing the noise.
"What's up?"
"I've broken through!" Ning Rongrong jumped up excitedly. "I'm level fourteen now!"
Ye Xuanming checked her soul power fluctuations and found that they had indeed reached level fourteen.
"Congratulations, Rongrong."
Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling also came over.
"Not bad, little pink-haired girl." Dugu Yan rarely praised her. "Advancing one level in half a month is quite fast."
Ning Rongrong proudly raised her chin.
"Of course! I'm a genius!"
Ye Lingling smiled gently.
"Rongrong works very hard, and she deserves it."
...
At the training grounds of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy, Ye Xuanming was practicing his spear skills.
The blue-gold life-gold blue silver grass condensed into a spear in his hand, its tip gleaming with a faint light.
Every thrust hit the bullseye precisely, with the force perfectly controlled.
"Xuanming's marksmanship has improved again," Ye Lingling said softly from the sidelines.
Dugu Yan crossed her arms and pouted arrogantly, "Of course, how could my man not be amazing?"
Ning Rongrong jumped up and down beside her, saying, "Brother Ye is the best! I'm not going to let you have Brother Ye!"
"Tch! Just a little pink-haired girl!"
"Hmph! You mere green-haired wicked woman!"
Ye Xuanming withdrew his martial spirit and walked towards the three people:
"Alright, stop bickering. I still like Sister Lingling the most; she's gentle and quiet."
"Okay." Dugu Yan and Ning Rongrong immediately wilted.
Upon hearing this, Ye Lingling blushed slightly and stepped forward to wipe the sweat from Ye Xuanming's forehead.
Just then, Qin Ming walked over.
"Xuanming, you guys come here for a second." Qin Ming's expression was somewhat helpless. "Someone is looking for you."
"Who is it this time?" Dugu Yan asked, puzzled.
"An envoy from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School," Qin Ming replied. "He said that Sect Master Ning has something to convey."
Ning Rongrong immediately tensed up: "Is Dad going to take me back?"
Ye Xuanming patted her head: "Don't worry, it shouldn't be a bad thing."
The group followed Qin Ming to the reception room, where a middle-aged man dressed in a luxurious robe was waiting.
"I am Li Yun, the External Affairs Elder of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. I greet you all, young talents." The middle-aged man stood up and bowed.
Ning Rongrong looked at the newcomer curiously: "Grandpa Li, what did Dad send you here for?"
Li Yun smiled and patted Ning Rongrong's head: "Miss, the sect leader was very pleased to hear that you advanced a level in half a month, so he specially asked me to bring some things over."
He took out several exquisite boxes from his storage soul tool: "These were specially prepared by the sect leader for you all."
The first box was opened, revealing a pure white spiritual herb that emitted a faint fragrance.
"This is a thousand-year-old snow lotus, which is very beneficial to the cultivation of soul masters," Li Yun introduced.
The second box was opened, and inside were more than a dozen bottles of medicine neatly arranged.
"These are medicines specially made by the sect to aid in cultivation, and each one is quite valuable."
Ning Rongrong's eyes widened: "Dad is too generous! These things are treasures in the sect!"
Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling were also somewhat shocked; the combined value of these items was probably no less than a million gold soul coins.
Ye Xuanming remained calm, knowing that this was Ning Fengzhi's investment.
"Elder Li, Sect Leader Ning is too kind," Ye Xuanming said, bowing in thanks.
Li Yun waved his hand: "Young friend Ye, you are too kind. The sect leader said that Miss Rongrong's progress is all thanks to your care. These things are a token of my gratitude."
He paused for a moment, then continued, "In addition, the sect leader has another request."
"Please speak."
"The sect leader hopes that young friend Ye can take some time to return to the sect. He wants to ask you some questions about cultivation in person," Li Yun said sincerely.
Ye Xuanming chuckled inwardly; Ning Fengzhi was trying to find out his secrets.
"Okay, I'll definitely visit when I have time." Ye Xuanming did not refuse.
Li Yun nodded in satisfaction, chatted with Ning Rongrong for a while, and then said goodbye and left.
After seeing Li Yun off, Dugu Yan couldn't help but ask, "Xuanming, what is Ning Fengzhi trying to do?"
"It's an investment," Ye Xuanming replied simply. "He saw my potential and wanted to make arrangements in advance."
Ning Rongrong was a little embarrassed: "Brother Ye, I'm sorry, my dad..."
"It's okay." Ye Xuanming patted her head. "This is a good thing. It means your father is very smart."
Ye Lingling asked softly, "Then what should we do?"
"Let things be as they are," Ye Xuanming said with a smile. "But these things came at just the right time; they can help us break through the bottleneck."
However, these pills and herbs were of little use to Ye Xuanming and the others, so it would be easier to sell them.
After all, Ye Xuanming, Dugu Yan, and Ye Lingling had all consumed the immortal herb, so ordinary medicines had almost no effect on their improvement.
...
The Crown Prince's Residence.
Xue Qinghe was astonished upon hearing his subordinate's report, "Ning Rongrong increased her soul power by one level in half a month?"
"Yes, Your Highness, that is the message from the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy."
"Alright, you may leave."
"Yes, ma'am."
After the guards withdrew, Qian Renxue became even more interested. She hadn't expected that Ning Fengzhi would be willing to put his precious daughter Ning Rongrong next to Ye Xuanming. It was unbelievable.
It should be noted that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's greatest strength lies in its foresight; every sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School throughout history has been a master investor.
Otherwise, how could a sect with a support-type martial soul as its core become one of the three most important sects on the continent?
Qian Renxue smiled slightly. Since Ning Fengzhi had gone to such lengths, she couldn't afford to fall behind the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
...
Three days later, at the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy.
Ye Xuanming and his two companions were practicing their teamwork on the training field, while Ning Rongrong cheered them on from the sidelines, raising her little fist.
"Go, Brother Ye!"
Dugu Yan was practicing toxin removal with Ye Lingling when she heard Ning Rongrong's shout and couldn't help but roll her eyes.
"Little pink-haired girl, can you please be quiet?"
"I'm just trying to encourage you guys, okay!" Ning Rongrong said confidently. "Besides, I'm not a pink-haired girl! I'm a cherry blossom pink!"
Ye Lingling chuckled and shook her head. Yanzi and Rongrong really were a pair of clowns.
At this moment, Ye Xuanming noticed someone approaching and whispered a reminder.
"Someone is coming."
The group looked toward the door and saw a young man in a blue robe walking slowly toward them.
"Your Highness?" Dugu Yan asked in surprise, "What brings you here?"
Xue Qinghe smiled gently.
"I heard that Rongrong is having a great time here, so I came to see her."
Ning Rongrong immediately jumped over, "Crown Prince! What brings you here?"
"Rongrong, it's been a long time," Xue Qinghe said with a smile. "Are you settling in well here?"
