Ning Rongrong felt wronged. As a young lady from a wealthy family, she had never been treated this way in her sect.
Now, not only was she covered in dust, but her foot was also injured. If this had happened before, it would have been unimaginable.
Yet, it was happening to her now.
Although she felt wronged, she had to endure it to maintain the image of a refined young woman.
Smiling, she said, "I'm fine. Shrek Academy should have teachers who can heal. I can ask them to treat me later."
Seeing Ning Rongrong's current demeanor, Xiao Wu was puzzled. Could it be that the other girl had just lost her temper and said those unreasonable things?
Thinking this, Xiao Wu's stern expression softened slightly.
Ning Rongrong's gaze swept across the carriage, and she didn't hide her envy, saying, "My family has a lot of money too, but I've never seen such a luxurious carriage."
She was right; the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect could be said to be the wealthiest sect on the Douluo Continent.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda not only possessed outstanding support abilities but also the ability to identify treasures. Ning Rongrong had grown up surrounded by treasures, yet she had never seen such a magical carriage.
The more she looked, the more shocked she became, especially by the carriage's air conditioning, which left her in disbelief.
Entering this carriage was like stepping from summer into spring.
Hearing Ning Rongrong praise the carriage, Xiao Wu finally revealed a trace of a smile and said, "You know your stuff. This carriage is the only one of its kind on the Douluo Continent."
Seeing Xiao Wu's smug, boastful expression, Ning Rongrong felt a bit of an itch in her teeth. It used to be only her who got to flaunt treasures in front of others; when had it become someone else's turn to show off treasures to her?
She naturally loved treasures, and to uncover the secret of this carriage, she had to rein in her temper.
She showed a look of shock, cooperating with Xiao Wu, and asked, "The only one of its kind? Can you tell me about the features of this carriage?"
She was used to this reaction when she showed off treasures to others; Ning Rongrong found the display quite familiar and didn't think it was fake at all.
"Yes," Xiao Wu stood up proudly and then talked non-stop about the carriage's space, air conditioning, speed, stability, and even the toilet.
By the end, Ning Rongrong's eyes were shining brighter and brighter, feeling that this was the most perfect and ideal carriage she could imagine.
She imagined that if she could own such a carriage, she didn't know how many people would envy her whenever she went out.
Unfortunately, after what had just happened, she understood that this carriage wasn't so easy to obtain.
This also strengthened her resolve to build a good relationship with Xiao Wu and the others. For the sake of the treasure, suffering a little was worth it.
If it didn't work, she would bring out her Sect's identity. She knew how many people wanted to curry favor with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. If she revealed her identity, it was estimated that these people would obediently offer the carriage.
However, she wouldn't reveal her identity unless absolutely necessary. After all, she snuck out this time to experience the life of an ordinary person.
Ning Rongrong's timely display of shock greatly satisfied Xiao Wu's vanity, making her feel that Ning Rongrong wasn't so annoying after all.
After more than ten minutes, Ao Tian, who was sitting outside, said, "We're here."
Xiao Wu hurried out, and a small village appeared about four to five hundred meters in front of them.
"Ao Tian, you said Shrek Academy was in a village. Is that it?" Xiao Wu asked.
"That's right. They've already started the entrance tests at the entrance to the village," Ao Tian replied.
Arriving here, Xiao Wu's expression was a little excited. "Dragon Horse, hurry, let's go see."
Dragon Horse's speed was even faster, and they arrived outside the village in a moment.
A fence surrounded the outside of the village, and a long line had already formed at the entrance. The queue consisted of a group of young boys and girls, most of whom were accompanied by their parents. At the very front of the line, an old man, who looked to be in his sixties, was testing these young boys and girls.
The carriage arrived, and its imposing appearance immediately drew everyone's attention. Then, Ao Tian and the four girls alighted.
In an instant, gasps of surprise filled the air. Both the young girls participating in the assessment and their accompanying parents were stunned by Ao Tian and his companions' beauty.
The visual impact of several stunning girls standing with the handsome Ao Tian was something most people couldn't handle.
Bang! A teacher in charge of the assessment slammed the table, shouting, "Do you want to take the assessment or not? Those who don't can leave!"
The few people at the front of the line quickly turned their heads, but couldn't help stealing glances at Ao Tian and his group.
Ao Tian patted the Dragon Horse, and it walked to a large tree, waiting quietly.
Ning Rongrong was truly envious of such an obedient horse.
Ao Tian looked around but didn't see Tang San or Dai Mubai in the crowd.
"Let's go queue up," he said, leading Gu Yue Na and the other three women to the end of the line.
"Why haven't we seen Tang San?" Xiao Wu asked.
"He should already be inside," Ao Tian replied.
The assessment moved quickly. The examiner, a man in his sixties, only tested two things: age and soul power.
Age could not exceed thirteen, and soul power had to be at least rank twenty-one. Those who met these conditions were already considered geniuses.
Among the young men and women in the queue, many met these conditions. There were also some who didn't qualify but were trying their luck, hoping they might still be accepted.
"That scum is out," Xiao Wu suddenly said in a low voice.
Ao Tian and the others looked over and saw Dai Mubai walking towards them from inside.
Dai Mubai's strange, alluring eyes swept over the girls in the line. If a girl's looks were acceptable, his gaze lingered.
Meeting Dai Mubai's eyes, many girls lowered their heads shyly.
When Dai Mubai's gaze landed at the back of the line, he was stunned. But soon, a huge wave of surprise surged into his eyes.
He strode to Ao Tian and the others, nodded to Ao Tian first, then looked at Gu Yue Na, a brilliant smile on his face. "I didn't expect you to come and apply to Shrek Academy. I'm very happy to see you again."
Gu Yue Na's eyes looked straight ahead, her face showing no emotion, completely ignoring Dai Mubai.
Xiao Wu snorted coldly, "You're happy, but we're not happy at all. Bringing two girls to a hotel in broad daylight... I feel disgusted having you stand in front of me."
Dai Mubai's bright smile stiffened, and his expression became awkward.
"Mubai, what's going on?" The examiner in front frowned and called out.
Dai Mubai said to Gu Yue Na, "I'm in charge of assisting with the assessment today. I'll head back first. Please wait patiently; it'll be your turn soon."
Ning Rongrong was a little envious, feeling that her brilliance was overshadowed by Gu Yue Na. She, who should have been the center of attention, had become a mere supporting player.
She's so pretty, her Martial Soul probably isn't that strong, right? When it's my turn to be assessed, I wonder if they'll be shocked when they see my Martial Soul? Thinking this, Ning Rongrong's mood began to improve slightly.
