In Douluo Continent, Tang San raids my base right from the start.

Chapter 124 Birds of a feather flock together.

"All I can say is that if you know it's impossible, then respect other people's fate and give up the urge to help others," Zhu Wu said calmly.

"So, Brother Tian, ​​when you suddenly said you could help me evolve my martial soul that day, was that also on purpose?" Ning Rongrong asked softly.

Zhu Wu nodded, "Birds of a feather flock together. Making friends also depends on the person, especially for those who will have to shoulder a destiny in the future."

"So, Rongrong, you're quite clever," Long Ling'er said with a smile. "And you're kind-hearted. You've done more than enough for Zhu Qing."

"Don't overthink it. Everyone needs to be responsible for their own choices, right?"

The room wasn't very soundproof, and it was right next door, so with her mental power, she naturally overheard Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing's conversation.

"Hmm." Ning Rongrong nodded gently, secretly relieved, and at the same time, she understood some things.

Zhu Wu appears polite to everyone, but he actually maintains a sense of balance and differentiates between people around him. His father taught him to never reveal his emotions and thoughts to outsiders, a principle he only now understands.

A few days later, on the official road a few kilometers away from Tiandou City.

"Brother Tian, ​​should we go straight to the Tiandou Royal Academy or rest in the city first?" Ning Rongrong asked.

It was her suggestion to go to the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy; in terms of overall strength, the Five Elemental Academies were actually better.

Especially with Blazing Fire Academy, both Zhu Wu and Long Ling'er possess fire-attribute abilities, so their application would definitely be approved. But that would mean she wouldn't be able to join.

Because her martial soul is not fire-attribute, and there is no suitable mimicry environment for her.

The Heavenly Dou Royal Academy has everything it needs.

Moreover, the three members of the academy's teaching committee are close to Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, who happens to be her father's disciple. With this connection, their joining the team would give them complete control over the battle.

Furthermore, as far as she knew, Dugu Bo's granddaughter, Dugu Yan, was also at the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy, and Dugu Bo was a member of the Illusionary Beast Sect, so they had some connection. Bringing them into a team wouldn't be bad. The only problem was Yu Tianheng; Zhu Wu and Long Ling'er didn't seem to be interested in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. But that didn't matter; they could join the second team, and then she could bring Dugu Yan in.

However, it's just a matter of a word from Dugu Bo.

With Zhu Wu and Long Ling'er leading the attack, plus her and Dugu Yan assisting, and a few other reinforcements, she felt that winning the Soul Master Competition wouldn't be a problem. She had absolute confidence in Zhu Wu and Long Ling'er's abilities.

"Let's just go to the academy," Zhu Wu said nonchalantly. To him, it didn't really matter which academy he joined; he was confident that he and his little wife could sweep away all enemies.

"Okay then." Ning Rongrong nodded with a smile, then turned and called out, "Master, could you please change your route?"

She began giving directions to the driver.

Half an hour later, as the sun set, at the foot of the mountain.

"Rongrong, is the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy built inside the mountains?" Looking at the thousand-meter-high mountain blocking her way and the wide stone steps leading up from its foot, Long Ling'er couldn't help but ask.

"Yes." Ning Rongrong nodded. "This mountain, the forest behind it, and the lake on the left are all under the jurisdiction of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. The Heaven Dou Royal Academy has the most complete facilities and the largest area of ​​all the advanced soul master academies in the empire. It is said that it has all kinds of simulated environments. After all, it is an academy directly under the Heaven Dou royal family and also represents the face of the empire."

"That's true." Long Ling'er nodded and smiled, "It sounds much better than Shrek Academy."

"Of course," Ning Rongrong said. "Shrek Academy is called an academy, but it's actually more like a small mountain village, far from it."

"Brother Tian, ​​Sister Ling'er, it's getting late, let's hurry up and go." He turned around and smiled, "I'm a little hungry after sitting in the carriage for so long. I heard that the food at the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy is pretty good, so we'll give it a try today."

Zhu Wu nodded and strode forward.

"Stop! Who are you people?!" Just as I reached the bottom of the steps, a loud shout suddenly came from above.

The three looked up and saw ten young soul masters walking down in front of them, dressed in light yellow uniforms.

They look like a student from the academy.

Silver hair and silver eyes, golden hair and red eyes. As Zhu Wu and Long Ling'er looked up, the leading youth immediately recognized their faces, his pupils contracting sharply. Ning Fengzhi had once revealed to his father, Xue Ye, that the young sect leader and his fiancée of the Illusionary Beast Sect possessed these facial features. Xue Ye had specifically warned him that he must never offend any boy around twelve years old with these characteristics.

Otherwise, execute him immediately!

The Beastmaster Sect is a terrifying sect that almost wiped out the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family over a single disagreement.

It is said that Yu Yuanzhen is still lying at home.

He immediately lowered his voice and said kindly:

"Are you here to join the academy?"

It seems my presence has already spread here. Zhu Wu nodded slightly, "That's right."

The young man immediately turned to his underlings, glaring at them, "What are you all standing there for? Get out of the way for the future juniors!"

"???" The underlings were stunned for a moment, but still obediently made way.

The young man in the lead walked to the side and said in a friendly manner, "You guys should hurry up and go up, the academy is about to close."

"Thank you." Zhu Wu nodded and led the two women up the steps.

Once the others had gone some distance, the young man in the lead finally relaxed, looking as if he hadn't quite shaken off the experience.

"Your Highness, who were those three people just now?" the underling couldn't help but ask, judging from the situation, the Fourth Prince seemed quite frightened.

"Don't ask," Avalanche said calmly. "Just don't mess with them, or don't blame me if you die."

"I have urgent business to attend to at the palace to see my father. You can do whatever you want!" With that, she quickly ran down the steps.

On the other side, Ning Rongrong couldn't help but say, "Brother Tian, ​​Sister Ling'er, that person just now should be the Fourth Prince, Xue Beng."

"It seems like I know you."

"It must have been your father, Ning Fengzhi, who reminded Xueye and told her about my physical characteristics," Zhu Wu said calmly.

"Huh? My dad?" Ning Rongrong was stunned.

Zhu Wu glanced at her. "You don't actually think your dad would dare let you run around outside alone, do you?"

"You mean, Dad sent people to protect me secretly?" Ning Rongrong's beautiful eyes widened slightly.

"Without a doubt." Zhu Wu nodded. "Your father should already know of my existence and has exchanged information with Dugu Bo. His subsequent reminder to Xue Ye was probably out of fear that some spoiled brats like Xue Beng in Tian Dou City might rashly offend me and cause trouble."

"Your dad is a smart man; he wouldn't reveal anything he shouldn't. It's good that things are this way; it saves me a lot of trouble."

Ning Rongrong opened her mouth, looked up at Zhu Wu, and said, "Brother Tian, ​​you're amazing. You even guessed that."

"It's not hard to guess," Zhu Wu shook his head slightly. "Just think about it from your father's perspective."

"Alright, if you have any questions, you can ask your dad when you get home. Now let's hurry up and finish this."

"Mm." Ning Rongrong nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

Before long, the three arrived at the academy gate.

"Three children, are you here to see someone?" The gatekeeper looked the three of them up and down, especially Zhu Wu and Long Ling'er, and quickly came out of the guardhouse to greet them politely.

Zhu Wu replied politely, "We're here to join the academy, so please inform the responsible academy instructor for us."

"My name is Long Yingtian, and this is my fiancée, Long Ling'er."

"My name is Ning Rongrong, and my father is Ning Fengzhi. You can just take us to the three education commissioners," Ning Rongrong replied.

The gatekeeper's tone became even more respectful, "Please follow me, you three."

He opened the door, turned sideways, and waited for the three to enter through the gate before leading the way.

A quarter of an hour later, the three were led to the reception room of the Education Commission building. After a brief greeting, the security guard quickly went out and ran upstairs.

Tap tap tap, footsteps soon approached, and three education commissioners pushed open the door one after another, their faces kind.

After a few pleasantries, Ning Rongrong, a local, chimed in at the opportune moment, "Three members of the Education Committee, it's getting late. The three of us came directly to the academy by carriage from Soto City; we didn't even go into Tiandou City!"

"You haven't had dinner yet?"

"Why don't you arrange accommodation for us first? We can talk about everything tomorrow."

"It was our oversight that we didn't consider this carefully," Meng Shenji quickly apologized. "I'll have someone arrange accommodations for you right away."

"Also, please have the Education Commission send someone to inform Dugu Bo that he should come to see me tomorrow," Zhu Wu said.

"Alright, I will definitely pass on the message." Meng Shenji nodded with a smile and had Zhilin, the education committee member, lead the way to the dormitory, saying that the food would be delivered directly to the dormitory later.

Zhu Wu thanked him and led the two women out with Education Commissioner Zhilin to their dormitory.

Fifteen minutes later, we arrived at a luxurious villa nestled against the mountain and beside the water, located on the west side of the college.

Meanwhile, at the Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace.

After hearing Xue Beng's description, Xue Ye stared at him intently. "Beng'er, you didn't offend them, did you?"

"Father, how dare I?" Xue Beng quickly replied, "I was very polite in giving them directions."

"That's good." Xueye nodded. "Alright, you can go back now. Remember, never neglect these two distinguished guests in the future."

"Of course!" Xue Beng assured him repeatedly, then glanced at Xue Qinghe standing by the snowy night before taking his leave.

"Qinghe, go and inform Sect Leader Ning later that you will be going with him to see your junior sister Rongrong tomorrow," Xueye said, turning her head.

"Also, send someone to inform Dugu Bo."

"Yes, Father, I'll go right away." Xue Qinghe nodded and strode out of the room.

Soon, Dugu Bo, whose residence was closer, was the first to receive news from the academy and the palace, followed by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

"In that case, Qinghe, you will accompany me to the academy tomorrow," Ning Fengzhi said with a smile.

"Also, you can stay at the teacher's place tonight."

"Then I'll have to bother you, teacher," Xue Qinghe said respectfully.
