Douluo Continent: I, the world's greatest immortal master, have taken Ning Rongrong as my disci

Chapter 68 Dad, are you here to propose marriage for me?

The following day, Taoyuan Academy.

As the sun set and the peach blossoms turned golden, Su Ran returned with Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, Dugu Yan, and Ye Lingling.

Wang Sheng, Zhu Zhuqing, and Meng Yiran were still cultivating at the time, but upon learning that Su Ran had returned, they all rushed over immediately.
"teacher!"

"Teachers, you're finally back!"

"During the time I was away, did you all study diligently and cultivate yourselves earnestly?"

Su Ran could tell that Meng Yiran and Zhu Zhuqing had already mastered their movement techniques to a certain level, and it would be difficult for ordinary Soul Masters to even touch the hem of their clothes.

As for Wang Sheng, needless to say, this child is the most down-to-earth. After absorbing the immortal flowers and herbs and evolving his martial soul, his talent has also improved. Now, his fist techniques are so solid that even Su Ran is impressed.

"Yes, of course." Zhu Zhuqing nodded repeatedly.

“I will definitely cultivate seriously, but could you take me with you next time you go out, Teacher? Life is so boring without you.”

Meng Yiran said.

Su Ran walked to the peach-colored jade table, poured a cup of tea, and said calmly:
"I've already told you that the reason I took Rongrong and the others out was because the environment there was perfect for their cultivation. If there are any suitable places for you to cultivate in the future, I will naturally take you there first."

Meng Yiran pursed her lips. Although the teacher's reason was reasonable, she just wanted to stay with the teacher.

"Dean, you've become even more mysterious since you went out. It seems you've made some progress."

At this moment, Dugu Bo, having heard the news, also came over to the building at the main gate of the newly built campus of the academy.

During Su Ran's absence, the academy was guarded by the nurturing scholar Dugu Bo, who also tended to the spiritual fields of the new campus.

To put it nicely, they're called academicians; to put it bluntly, they're just security guards or farmers.

If the deans and princes of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy knew that Dugu Bo had stayed at Peach Blossom Academy as a security guard, their eyes would probably pop out of their sockets.

"Poison Guardian, you've come at the right time. I have something to tell you."

Upon seeing Dugu Bo arrive, Su Ran took out more than twenty treasure boxes from the Peach Blossom Soul Guide Mask and handed them to him:

"Here are the remaining flowers, herbs, and seeds from the herb garden you gave me. I originally intended to transplant them myself, but things happened suddenly, and I may have other things to do in the next few days. I would appreciate it if you could transplant these flowers, herbs, and seeds to our sacred spiritual field as soon as possible and take good care of them for me. I have marked the precautions for each flower and herb at the end of the list. Can you do that?"

Dugu Bo looked somewhat surprised. These boxes contained the rare and precious flowers and herbs whose effects he had previously been unable to harvest due to their unknown properties. Su Ran had actually transplanted them over this time.

That makes sense, since the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye is hundreds of kilometers away from Peach Blossom Academy. It would be too troublesome to go there every time there is a need.

It just so happens that Su Ran had already cultivated a spiritual field at Peach Blossom Academy. Although it hadn't reached the quality of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, it was enough to support the growth of these flowers and plants.

"Don't worry, Dean. You can go do other things with peace of mind. Leave the college's affairs to me, I promise I'll take care of them. I'll go right now."

Dugu Bo patted his chest and said that although he was not as good as Su Ran in terms of knowledge about poisons and plants, he had studied toxicology and plants for decades and could still plant them according to the instructions.

He immediately set about implementing it.

It's so positive it's unbelievable.

Only Dugu Bo himself knew that even as a guard at Taoyuan Academy, he had received something that no other academy could give him and Yan'er. For him, this was nothing short of a second life, a blessing from heaven.

……

"Dean Su, you're finally back! If you hadn't come back, I would have been worried to death."

Dugu Bo had just gone to transplant flowers and plants when Ning Fengzhi came to visit him.

"father!"

"Oh my, little witch, you've become even more beautiful since I last saw you."

"Hmph, of course! The medicinal bath my teacher prepared for me has already restored my skin. Unlike Dad and Grandpa Gu, they don't care about Rongrong at all. They haven't come to see me for so long. They clearly don't care about me!"

Ning Rongrong pouted and complained.

Su Ran couldn't help but smile. Ning Rongrong's coquettishness and cuteness sometimes gave him a headache. No wonder Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong doted on this girl so much in the sect.

Girls who know how to be charming and coquettish have the best lives.

Of course, girls who can splash water have a better life.

"Of course, Daddy loves Rongrong dearly, my little princess."

"Alright, alright, Rongrong, stop fooling around. Dad is here to discuss something important with your teacher."

Ning Fengzhi affectionately patted Ning Rongrong's head; this girl's strength had reached a level he couldn't even imagine.

No one would believe it, but a few months ago, he brought Uncle Bone to Peach Blossom Academy to see her. This girl was incredibly bold and challenged Uncle Bone to a test of their defensive abilities to see who could withstand more blows.

Uncle Bone doted on this girl, suppressing her level to around level 30, and only using his Martial Soul Possession to compete with Rongrong in terms of defense.

The result left Ning Fengzhi speechless. Uncle Gu failed to break Rongrong's Golden Bell Shield; instead, Rongrong's inch-force broke through Uncle Gu's defense first.

Although it's unknown whether Uncle Bone held back, this has already broadened Ning Fengzhi's worldview.

Bone Uncle is the best defender in the world.

"Ok."

Ning Rongrong pouted and whispered to Ning Fengzhi:

"Dad, what's so important? It's not about confronting the teacher and asking her to propose marriage on my behalf, is it?"

"Oh dear, I'm not ready yet. Have you chosen your wedding dress? Are there any experienced ladies who can teach me how to make the most of my wedding night?"

Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi, who had just taken two steps toward Su Ran, stumbled and almost fell.

A peach blossom branch cushioned Ning Fengzhi's knee to prevent him from falling, and he joked:
“Alas, Sect Master Ning, now that I have accepted Rongrong as my disciple, I cannot accept you as well.”

Ning Fengzhi chuckled awkwardly, dusted off his sleeves, sat down opposite Su Ran at the stone table, glanced back at Ning Rongrong, drank a cup of tea to calm his nerves, and then looked directly into Su Ran's eyes. He was startled again by the faint, shimmering image of ice and fire dragons in Su Ran's eyes, and said, regaining his composure:

"It seems that Dean Su has indeed improved a lot during this period."

"But you're driving me crazy."

Su Ran took a sip of tea and glanced at Ning Fengzhi: "Sect Leader Ning, what's the rush?"

"Dean Su, are you aware that the Continental Elite Soul Master Tournament is about to begin?"

"I know." Su Ran nodded.

"Dean Su, don't you have any plans to participate? Tomorrow is the final deadline for registration."

"I've already entered the competition," Su Ran said calmly.

Ning Fengzhi was taken aback: "I checked the list of participants before I came, and Taoyuan Academy's name wasn't on it."

"Oh, I only registered on my way back from the nearest place."

Su Ran smiled and said, "However, I also have to thank Sect Master Ning for registering my academy directly in Tiandou City beforehand. Otherwise, my Peach Blossom Academy would be located in a remote area and the number of teachers and students would not meet the standards of an Imperial Academy."

To participate in the Soul Master Competition, the academy must first be officially recognized by the Empire. This requires certain standards regarding the academy's size, number of students and teachers, and teacher qualifications. Not just anyone can open an academy.

Although Su Ran's students are of extremely high quality and his teaching level is incomparable to that of ordinary soul masters, there are only six or seven people in the entire academy. Let alone an academy, it would be a stretch to call it a private tutoring class or a cram school.

Without Ning Fengzhi's behind-the-scenes support, things would have indeed gone through a lot of trouble.

Upon hearing that Su Ran had already signed up, Ning Fengzhi's eyes lit up with joy:
"Really?"

"Mm." Su Ran nodded.

"That's great! I'm really looking forward to Taoyuan Academy winning the championship, and I'm also looking forward to Rongrong's performance."

Ning Fengzhi stood up happily:

"Dean Su, I personally supervised the registration of Taoyuan Advanced Soul Master Academy and directly enrolled them in Tiandou City. Therefore, they should go to Tiandou City to participate in the preliminary rounds. I have prepared a detached villa for Taoyuan's teachers and students to rest in. Please do not refuse, Dean Su."

"Sect Leader Ning is very kind."

"Dean Su, there's no need to be so polite with me. The two weapons you taught my sect are like giving the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School a second life, making up for our sect's shortcomings. To me, Dean Su is not only Rongrong's teacher, but also the sect's benefactor. This little thing is nothing to mention."

Putting aside everything else, Ning Fengzhi is certainly generous when it comes to spending money.

"Then, Dean Su, see you in Tiandou City in three days."
