Douluo Continent: Gretchen at the start, empowered by the Star God.

Chapter 76 Confession

"Dad, Grandpa Sword, Grandpa Bone, let me introduce you. This is my friend Zhu Zhuqing, she's a genius!"

Seeing that the three of them were all looking at Lang Lei, as if they all knew him, Ning Rongrong pulled Zhu Zhuqing over and introduced them.

"Alright, alright, Rongrong, could you please introduce the boy who came with you?" Ning Fengzhi nodded, pondering how to cover up the fact that the boy's younger brother was most likely dead.

Normally, Ning Fengzhi would be very happy if Ning Rongrong brought back a genius, but today he might not have time to think about that.

Although the other party appeared to have come alone, if they were to truly die at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, the Title Douluo behind them would definitely storm the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to demand an explanation.

At that time, it would be strange if the forces that are at odds with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School didn't take advantage of their misfortune!

"Huh? Dad, don't you guys know Lang Lei?" Ning Rongrong was a little puzzled. Judging from the three of them's behavior, it didn't seem like they didn't know Lang Lei.

"I've heard of Lang Lei's reputation as a genius, but... I haven't really gotten to know him personally." As he said this, Ning Fengzhi's eyes kept glancing at Lang Lei.

"I've met Lang Lei once before, so I guess you could say we know each other." Sword Douluo nodded to Lang Lei, seemingly still not recognizing him.

"Oh, I see. I met Lang Lei when the academy was recruiting. Don't let his youth fool you, he's now a Soul Master capable of defeating the Immovable King Zhao Wuji and killing a 100,000-year-old Titan Giant Ape," Ning Rongrong introduced, her tone still tinged with shock. "He saved my life in the Star Dou Great Forest. Dad, Grandpa Sword, and Grandpa Bone, you're not allowed to make things difficult for him!"

"What?!"

"Killed a 100,000-year-old Titan Ape?"

"Is this really true?"

Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong were not surprised by their current reaction, after all, they were also shocked at the beginning.

Ning Fengzhi felt even more bitter. Now, let alone keeping the other party after the falling out, he even had to consider whether the other party would suddenly attack him.

Even a regular Title Douluo might not be able to repel a 100,000-year-old Titan Giant Ape, let alone kill it.

If someone with that level of combat power really wanted to escape, how could the three of them possibly stop them?

Moreover, this is the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School; if a fight breaks out, they will ultimately suffer the greatest losses. Furthermore, once the other side returns, they will face at least two Title Douluos targeting them.

"My dear daughter, she's already so amazing, how could I possibly make things difficult for her?" Ning Fengzhi said with a wry smile.

"Sect Master Ning is a sensible man; he certainly wouldn't do such a thing," Lang Lei chuckled. "Senior Sword Douluo, it's been a long time. But judging from the looks of it, it shouldn't have been that long, right?"

"Hmm, not long ago, but your younger brother..." Sword Douluo hesitated.

"Younger brother? What younger brother?" Lang Lei laughed.

"Huh? Didn't you say..." Sword Douluo's eyes widened, then he suddenly stopped. He thought of a possibility, an almost impossible guess.

Lang Lei smiled and nodded, acknowledging the other party's guess.

"Feng Zhi, the sect disciples sent to the Star Dou Great Forest... let them come back. I think we don't need to look anymore." Sword Douluo sighed.

"You mean...?" Ning Fengzhi's gaze shifted back and forth between Lang Lei and Sword Douluo Chen Xin, a possibility emerging in his mind.

"That's right, just as you thought." Sword Douluo sighed, confirming the other party's guess.

"What are you two keeping secrets from?" Bone Douluo, who knew the least, was a little confused.

Seeing that Lang Lei neither intended to explain nor to stop him, Ning Fengzhi took the initiative to speak.

"The Lang Lei in front of us has never had a younger brother adopted by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School." Ning Fengzhi took a deep breath. "He is the Lang Lei who was thrown into the Star Dou Great Forest by Zhang Zhi... by that scoundrel."

"Impossible! According to what you're saying, how old is that Lang Lei? At most seven years old! I'd believe it if you said the one in front of us was seventeen!" Bone Douluo subconsciously denied the guess.

Despite saying this on the surface, Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo still tacitly protected Ning Fengzhi and Ning Rongrong behind them.

"Are you really only seven years old?" Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing then realized something and turned to look at Lang Lei in disbelief.

"That's what I've been saying from the beginning. Even the Shrek Academy teacher who examined my bones found that it was only this big, but you just didn't believe me." Lang Lei shrugged.

Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing's reactions also indirectly confirmed the three's guesses. Ning Fengzhi slumped helplessly in the chair behind him.

"Dad, what's wrong?" Ning Rongrong quickly stepped forward to support Ning Fengzhi.

"I'm fine..." Ning Fengzhi was filled with shock, regret, and resentment.

He knew all too well what it meant to be a seven-year-old Title Douluo.

The top group of people on Douluo Continent know that gods really exist in the world, and they also know the saying that one can become a god at level 100.

But under his management, this unprecedented genius was expelled from the sect...

"Dad, what exactly happened? Tell me, please?" Ning Rongrong pleaded.

Ning Fengzhi glanced at Lang Lei, who shrugged indifferently with a strange smile.

Letting the other party talk about the crimes of that Deacon Zhang will alleviate his guilt when he kills people later, since he's going to kill more than one.

"Rongrong, as you know, the direct descendants of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School are mostly support-type martial souls, such as the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. Therefore, every year we recruit combat soul masters from all over the Douluo Continent, as well as some orphans who have not yet awakened their martial souls," Ning Fengzhi said slowly.

"So, Lang Lei is also one of the adopted orphans?" Ning Rongrong was somewhat surprised, but then she realized, "But why are you all like this now? Shouldn't you be happy?"

"But there are all kinds of birds in a big forest... With a large family and a big business, it's inevitable that some morally corrupt people will appear among your subordinates." Ning Fengzhi said while observing Lang Lei's reaction. Clearly, he was not only defending himself, but also speaking to Lang Lei.

Seeing that Lang Lei didn't react much, Ning Fengzhi sighed and continued, "The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School doesn't pay much attention to orphans who have low or no innate soul power, but they won't abandon them directly either. Generally speaking, they will be sent to various branches and industries in various places to continue to contribute to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."

"The cost of raising these children in the early stages is not low, so some scoundrels have set their sights on this," Ning Fengzhi said through gritted teeth, it was unclear whether he was angry at the behavior of these scoundrels or something else. "They would use the excuse of sending these children to industries in various places to transport some of the children out of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect without affecting the normal operation of the sect's industries, and then secretly dispose of them. Finally, they would embezzle the funds allocated to them."

"So, Lang Lei is one of those orphans who were abandoned and disposed of?" Ning Rongrong's eyes widened in disbelief. "But those children..."

This was her first time encountering these things, and she was still unable to accept them.

Zhu Zhuqing appeared much calmer, though there was still disdain in her eyes.

"So, I've come to take revenge on the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, on behalf of those children..."

As soon as Lang Lei said this, the atmosphere in the sect leader's hall immediately became tense.
