Bai He nodded.
Zhuge Lan let out a long sigh of relief. He could finally see Ning Rongrong, and things would be much simpler then.
Dugu Bo, who was standing nearby, his expression changed slightly, then he whispered to Zhuge Lan.
"Boy, we should leave. I just sensed the aura of Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect disciples outside."
Zhuge Lan frowned slightly and quickly said.
"Then we must leave. This time, we can't let the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect know about our outing."
The two of them briefly bid farewell to Bai He, then took out invisibility talismans, stuck them on themselves, and then disappeared.
...
A few days later.
The obedient and lovely Ning Rongrong paced around her room, a hint of anger on her face.
For some reason, her father hadn't allowed her to go out these past few days, making her stay in her room, and she didn't know why.
Now that Spirit Hall forces were besieging the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, constantly defending was simply not a solution.
As she was about to walk out of her room, a disciple outside stopped her.
"Miss, School Master Ning has given an order that you are not allowed to go out this month."
Ning Rongrong's face showed a hint of displeasure.
"Why? What mistake did I make? Why am I being confined?"
The disciple's face showed a hint of helplessness.
"Miss, I'm not too sure either, but School Master Ning wouldn't speak carelessly. I am just an unknown disciple, please don't make things difficult for me."
Ning Rongrong snapped irritably.
"Make things difficult for you! How am I making things difficult for you?"
At this moment, a figure walked over from a distance. As they drew closer, it was Bai He. Her face showed a hint of confusion.
"Bai He, why are you here! Did my father send you to persuade me not to go out!"
Bai He was startled for a moment, then said.
"I have something I'd like to ask Miss Ning for help with. Do you have time?"
Ning Rongrong was stunned for a moment, thought for a bit, and said.
"Come in and chat! I can't go out anyway, so it might as well relieve some boredom."
The disciple guarding the door looked hesitant and whispered.
"Miss, School Master Ning..."
Ning Rongrong directly interrupted the disciple and said.
"I'm not going out. Is it wrong to just chat with the head of the Speed Clan?"
The disciple gave an awkward laugh.
"No, no, not at all."
After entering, Ning Rongrong simply made a cup of tea for Bai He, then sat down on a chair and asked.
"What is it?"
Bai He did not answer directly, but instead took out a letter, placed it on the table, and whispered.
"Miss Ning, this is a letter Zhuge Lan asked me to give to you."
Ning Rongrong's face showed a look of surprise, and she immediately stood up.
After taking out the letter, she immediately tore it open and began to read.
"Rongrong, I am Zhuge Lan. It's been many years, and you are still the beautiful and lovely Rongrong in my heart. Last time, because of my matter, you went to great lengths and suffered a lot of hardship. I am very grateful. This time, upon hearing that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was in trouble, I immediately rushed over, but your father, School Master Ning, intentionally doesn't want to see us, and has even placed disciples to monitor us in our room."
"If you see this letter, please do not make a fuss. Please find a suitable time to come and see me. I am at Jukeju Restaurant. We can discuss in detail then."
Ning Rongrong slowly walked to the door, closed it tightly, and then closed the windows as well.
Then she came before Bai He and whispered.
"Bai He, you met Zhuge Lan?"
Bai He nodded.
"Yes, he came with Poison Douluo, but for some reason, they couldn't see School Master Ning."
Ning Rongrong sighed, saying helplessly. "My father hopes to make peace with Spirit Hall and doesn't want to fight. Although I tried to persuade him, it doesn't seem to have had much effect."
Bai He's face showed a hint of anger.
"Spirit Hall is extremely cunning. Our Speed Clan has been ambushed by Spirit Hall several times before. This time, they've made such a big move; they probably won't let the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect off. Making peace probably won't work."
Ning Rongrong nodded.
"That's what I think too, but my father doesn't."
Ning Rongrong continued.
"Bai He, how is Zhuge Lan now? Is he injured? Has he become ugly?"
Bai He's face showed a hint of confusion.
"He's doing very well. He hasn't become ugly; he's as handsome as ever. To be honest, I'm a bit envious of that boy."
Ning Rongrong's face showed a hint of excitement, then she said.
"Bai He, I'll also write a letter to Zhuge Lan. Please take it for me."
Bai He nodded.
"Of course."
Ning Rongrong picked up paper and pen and began to write. After a while, she finished writing a letter and handed it to Bai He.
After receiving it, Bai He carefully put it in his pocket.
"Miss Ning, don't worry, I will definitely deliver it back."
Ning Rongrong nodded, then said.
"Alright, then you should leave soon. If you stay too long, my father might start suspecting that I'm doing something bad!"
Bai He said.
"Okay, then you should rest early too."
After Bai He left the room, he went directly to Jukeju Restaurant.
...
Jukeju Restaurant.
In the room, Zhuge Lan and Dugu Bo were talking to each other.
At this moment, Dugu Bo said angrily.
"Hmph, I thought that coming here would earn us great respect, even treating us like heroes, since we're helping in a time of need. I never expected to be treated like spies. It infuriates me."
Zhuge Lan smiled helplessly, then poured a cup of tea for Dugu Bo, handed it over, and comforted him.
"School Master Ning might have his own ideas. There might be some misunderstandings between us. Once the misunderstandings are resolved, it will be easier."
Dugu Bo took the tea, took a sip, and said helplessly.
"I hope so!"
"Bang bang bang" there was a knock on the door outside. Both their expressions changed slightly. Zhuge Lan whispered.
"Senior Dugu, who could it be?"
Dugu Bo sensed the other party's aura, then said with a smile.
"Boy, don't be nervous, it's Bai He."
Zhuge Lan relaxed, then stood up, welcomed Bai He in, and made him a cup of tea.
"Bai He, did you see Ning Rongrong?"
Bai He took a sip of tea, cleared his throat, then took out a letter, handed it to Zhuge Lan, and said with a smile.
"Of course I saw her, but Ning Rongrong seems to have been put under house arrest by her father, not allowed to leave her room."
Zhuge Lan's face showed a hint of anger.
"School Master Ning is going a bit too far."
He picked up the letter and began to read it.
"Brother Zhuge, long time no see. Actually, I really miss you. I don't regret anything I did for you. Now that you can come to me when the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is in danger, I am truly happy. My father won't let me out now, he's probably afraid of me meeting you."
"Give me three days, I will find an opportunity to meet you. We can have a good chat then."
"Brother Zhuge."
