Douluo Continent: I teach and nurture students at Tianshui Academy!

Relieved, Huo Yun'er accepted the Golden Soul Card. She was glad that her dissatisfaction wasn't due to her arrangement, and answered respectfully.

"Understood sir."

More than an hour later~

The sun was blazing in the afternoon, and the air was quite hot and dry.

Fortunately, there were many trees in the open space in front of the villa, providing ample shade. The girls, after gathering, sat cross-legged under the shade of the trees to avoid the scorching sun.

Shui Bing'er and the others are all water-attribute soul masters. No matter how hot the weather is, they can keep their bodies cool by circulating their soul power. However, Ning Rongrong and the others cannot do this, even though the physique of soul masters is not afraid of this heat.

But Ning Rongrong, who came from a wealthy family, couldn't stand it. Even in the shade of the trees, where the sunlight was blocked, she felt that her fair skin was getting tanned.

Ning Rongrong fanned herself with her hand, feeling increasingly irritable. She inwardly complained, "Why can't we just have a lesson in the classroom? Why do we have to come here under this blazing sun? It's unbearably hot!"

I really want to eat ice cream and drink chilled juice!

Compared to Ning Rongrong and Ye Lingling, the most popular one is actually Zhu Zhuqing, the little female cat.

The dark purple leather jacket tightly hugged her well-developed and hot figure. Black is inherently heat-absorbing, and the tight leather jacket made her feel even more stuffy. She was sweating profusely, and her hair was a little damp. Her pink lips were slightly parted, her delicate tongue was sticking out, and a blush appeared on her pretty face.

Zhu Zhuqing's unusual behavior caught the attention of Shui Bing'er, who knew that she was not heat-tolerant.

The girl immediately stood up, and three soul rings appeared under her feet, one yellow and one purple. She released ice-attribute soul power, which condensed into several large ice blocks, each half a meter high, and placed them among the girls.

As soon as the large ice block appeared, the cold air it emitted lowered the surrounding air temperature considerably, making Xiao Wu, Ye Lingling, and the others feel refreshed, as if they were in an air-conditioned room.

Zhu Zhuqing felt a chill that penetrated to her very core, and the stuffy feeling that had been enveloping her was also dispelled. She felt so comfortable that the ribbon on her cat tail bounced up, and her face didn't look so red anymore.

She looked at Shui Bing'er, a hint of gratitude in her beautiful eyes.

"So comfortable!"

Ning Rongrong wished she could just hug the big block of ice, but then she complained to Shui Bing'er.

"Why didn't you get it done sooner? You made us suffer in the heat for so long."

Hearing her complaint, Shui Bing'er's expression changed slightly, becoming somewhat unpleasant. This was actually her fault, and she was being blamed instead.

Shuiyue couldn't stand it anymore and turned to glare at Ning Rongrong. "Can't you speak properly? What kind of talk is that?"

"What are you saying? What do you mean my sister made you suffer from the heat for so long? Are you being unreasonable?!"

Reasoning? Spoiled and willful since childhood, Ning Rongrong doesn't know what reasoning is. In her eyes, it's always someone else who's wrong.

Faced with Shuiyue'er's rebuke, she did not realize that there was anything wrong with her words, and instead retorted to Shuiyue'er.

"What, did I say something wrong? If she had made ice to cool us down earlier, would we have been in this heat for so long?"

As she spoke, Ning Rongrong raised her hand and touched her delicate face, which had become dry due to the hot weather and had lost its usual smoothness, making her even more unhappy.

Princess Qibao's words caused the other girls around her to frown slightly; they had indeed gone too far.

Shui Bing'er saw that everyone was hot, so she specially made ice to cool them down and make them feel comfortable. But instead of saying thank you, you complained that others didn't make it right away. It's really annoying.

Xue Wu, Shui Yue'er, and the other six girls who were close to Shui Bing'er all felt a sense of disgust towards Ning Rongrong.

Do you really think that just because you're the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, we have to pamper you and indulge you? Dream on. In the elite class, everyone is equal.

There's a papal disciple right next to you; in terms of status, he's even a tiny bit higher than you.

"Don't go too far. Do you think you're so great as the young sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School? Without the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, what are you?"

Shui Yue'er wasn't going to put up with Ning Rongrong and spoke up directly. After being scolded like that, Ning Rongrong's face darkened and she immediately lost her temper.

"Hmph! You, a mere Soul Master, dare to speak to me in such a tone? Who do you think you are? I am the most talented person in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School for hundreds of years. Your mere Dolphin Martial Soul is not worthy of being compared with my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. What a joke!"

"Hmph! My dolphin martial soul is no match for your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, but my sister's martial soul is the Ice Phoenix, with innate soul power at level nine. Moreover, she will not stop at the Soul Saint level."

When Ning Rongrong brought up martial souls, Shui Yue'er knew she was inferior to her, but she still had her older sister. With a mocking expression, she emphasized that Shui Bing'er would not stop at the Soul Saint level.

It was like a sharp knife piercing Ning Rongrong's chest.

(Ning Rongrong: Hers was real harm!)

Chapters 74 and 73: Hu Liena, an innocent bystander caught in the crossfire

Soul masters of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda are limited by their martial souls and can never break through to the eighth ring in their lifetime. Even the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is limited by this.

Hearing Shui Yue'er use this to provoke her, Ning Rongrong felt a nameless fire burning in her chest, her still-developing breasts heaving. She glared fiercely at the dolphin girl, angrily proving to herself that she would not stop at the Soul Saint level!

"I am the only genius in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School in hundreds of years who is qualified to evolve the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda into the Eight Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda!"

"My sister can break through to the Contra Douluo level."

"My Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has two Title Douluos in charge, making it one of the top three schools. Even the Emperor of Heaven Dou must show respect to my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School!"

"My sister can break through to the Soul Douluo level."

"Shut up! Believe me or not, I'll have Grandpa Sword chop you up!"

No matter what Ning Rongrong said, Shui Yue'er would always respond with the phrase "My sister can break through to the Soul Douluo level," poking at the sore spot of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's inability for Soul Masters to break through to the eighth ring, and not just once.

This infuriated Ning Rongrong so much that she cursed on the spot and threatened to have Sword Douluo kill Shui Yue'er.

However, Shuiyue'er only pretended to be afraid, and then weakly replied.

"I'm so scared~ But my sister can break through to the Soul Douluo level."

The girls around her were amused by this remark, and even the usually aloof Zhu Zhuqing showed a rare smile, though she was also worried about Shui Yue'er.

If she brings up the shortcomings of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda as a point of contention, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will probably hold a grudge against her.

But then a self-deprecating look appeared in Zhu Zhuqing's beautiful eyes. She was already in dire straits herself, so how could she have time to care about others?

The Zhu family stood like a mountain in front of her, blocking her path to the future. Moreover, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, which was even more powerful than the Zhu family, was not something a mere Great Soul Master like her could contend with.

On the other hand, Ning Rongrong's expression became even more volatile. Her fair and delicate face was filled with anger, her neck was flushed red, and she was panting heavily, as if she was about to be so angry at Shui Yue'er that she would vomit blood at any moment.

Seeing that she was not in a good mood, Shui Bing'er told Shui Yue'er not to provoke her anymore. After all, they were still classmates and shouldn't be offended too much.

Xiao Wu quickly came out to comfort the furious Ning Rongrong.

"Rongrong, calm down. Yue'er didn't mean it. Calm down, calm down. Getting angry can cause wrinkles."

"No, I did it on purpose to provoke her. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is powerful, so what if they have Title Douluos? They can only cultivate to the Soul Saint level."

Unexpectedly, Shuiyue spoke up again, directly revealing that she was deliberately trying to anger Ning Rongrong.

The dolphin girl grew up without a father's love or a mother's love. She was adopted by Lan Qingyan, and the one who accompanied and cared for her since childhood was Shui Bing'er, her older sister. She would never allow anyone to bully Shui Bing'er.

Even her biological parents are not allowed!

Xiao Wu and Ye Lingling didn't expect Shui Yue'er to be so tough; she was really going to offend Ning Rongrong to death!

Shui Bing'er's pretty face changed slightly, and her beautiful eyes showed anxiety. She knew something was wrong and quickly stepped forward to shield Shui Yue'er, protecting her behind her, just like when they were children, the older sister protecting the younger sister.

"Fine! Shui Yue'er, you'll have to take responsibility for your words. My Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will remember this! You just wait!"

Ning Rongrong glared at Shui Yue'er, forgetting Xiao Wu's comforting words, gritted her teeth, and growled, even declaring that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School had remembered what Shui Yue'er said.

This made Shui Bing'er's heart tighten. She knew that Shui Yue'er was helping her to vent her anger, but she didn't expect it to turn out like this.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is one of the three upper sects and the most powerful soul master force on the continent, far surpassing the Tianshui Academy.

Just then, Gu Shenge walked over with Huo Yun'er. He had seen the quarrels and conflicts between the girls.

At the same time, I'm observing how they react to each other.

When the girls saw their teacher arrive, they all got up from the ground.

Gu Shenge walked up to them and looked at Ning Rongrong, whose face was red with anger and who was staring intently at Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er. Her puffed-up appearance was like that of a little squirrel, and Gu Shenge felt quite helpless.

I reached out and patted Princess Qibao's head, hoping she wouldn't be angry anymore.

"Alright, don't be angry. Give your teacher some face and don't hold a grudge against Yue'er. After all, you are classmates, and it's normal for classmates to have some friction."

"No! She's bullying us!"

Even though Gu Shenge spoke up, Ning Rongrong was unwilling to let Shui Yue'er off the hook; her words were too bullying!

"What do you mean I bullied you? You were the one who was unreasonable first."

Shui Yue'er was not to be outdone; she wasn't bullying anyone, she was just stating the facts.

Looking at the two girls who were at odds, Gu Shenge was still a little overwhelmed even though she had expected this situation to occur.

Gu Shenge cannot replicate Flander's teaching methods in the original novel, which involve belittling Ning Rongrong and then using psychological manipulation on her.

He prefers to give a good beating followed by a sweet treat.

Advocating a policy of appeasement.

Seeing that neither of them was willing to give in, Gu Shenge looked at Ning Rongrong and spoke softly.

"Rongrong, apologize to Bing'er and Yue'er first, and then your teacher will tell you a way to evolve the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, how about that?"

"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda has evolved into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda! Really?!"

Upon hearing about the method to evolve the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, Ning Rongrong, who was originally furious, was instantly overwhelmed with surprise and quickly turned around to ask if it was true.

If she could evolve the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, with her talent, she would be the first Title Douluo in the history of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School!

Let's see who dares to say she can't break through to the Soul Douluo level.

Gu Shenge nodded in agreement.

"Really, but you have to apologize to Shui Yue'er and Shui Bing'er first. After all, Bing'er meant well in trying to cool you down, and you still blame her. That really hurts your classmate's feelings."

Upon hearing this, Ning Rongrong looked at Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er. After hesitating for a while, although she was somewhat unwilling, she decided to apologize for the sake of the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda.

"I'm sorry, and thank you for the ice."

Shui Bing'er breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing her apology and thanks, and nodded in response.

Then Gu Shenge looked at Shui Yue'er and asked her to apologize to Ning Rongrong.

"Moon, you should also apologize to Rongrong. As classmates, we should help each other and not bring up each other's shortcomings. It's very impolite."

Both sides were at fault and should apologize.
