Ning Fengzhi suddenly felt that Notting City didn't seem like a small place at all; it was actually even bigger than Heaven Dou Imperial City.
This "big" wasn't referring to the city's size, but rather the fact that so many important figures had come to Notting City.
Not only was there Chen Qingling, the daughter of a reclusive powerhouse, but also a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast who had taken human form.
And then there were Chrysanthemum Pass, sent by the Martial Soul Hall, and the long-missing Clear Sky Douluo.
Each and every one of them was a prominent figure!
These people, theoretically, shouldn't be in such a small place, yet miraculously, they were all together and even interacting with each other.
It was hard not to suspect that there was something extraordinary about Notting City.
"Although I don't know why Clear Sky Douluo is there, he looks to be in a sorry state. I imagine he's chosen to live in seclusion."
"Another Title Douluo in seclusion?" Ning Fengzhi frowned, looking speechless.
Why do all these Title Douluo love to seclude themselves?
Is seclusion really that enjoyable?
Ning Fengzhi couldn't figure it out, not at all.
They possess such strength, yet they choose not to enjoy life, instead opting for a secluded existence in rather ordinary living environments.
Unable to understand, Ning Fengzhi decided to stop thinking about it.
"By the way, Qingling has joined the Four Elements Academy now."
"Oh, the Four Elements Academy!" Ning Fengzhi nodded slightly, then realized, "The Four Elements Academy?"
"Yes, it's a combination of the Skywater, Blazing Fire, Spirit Wind, and Thunder academies, but they each operate independently within it."
Ning Fengzhi raised an eyebrow. As a sect leader, he had a keen sense of judgment and believed that everything was for the sake of Chen Qingling.
After all, why would the four academies suddenly combine? It definitely had something to do with Qingling.
You didn't even need to think about it; it was obvious.
"It seems like this Continental Soul Master Academy Tournament will be very interesting this time."
Just then, Gu Rong, who had been silent, spoke up.
"You old coot, didn't you have a fight with the Clear Sky Douluo?"
"No."
"That's not like you. Weren't you eager to have a showdown with the Clear Sky Douluo and see whose Martial Soul was stronger?"
"People change, don't they?"
"The once famous Clear Sky Douluo can now hide his identity. Many people have changed, so why can't I?"
Chen Xin stood with his hands clasped behind his back, his expression indifferent.
Perhaps seeing the Clear Sky Douluo in such a state, so different from the man he remembered, caused a subtle shift in Chen Xin's state of mind.
He had a premonition that he would level up his Soul Power soon.
Don't underestimate a single level of Soul Power. But for a Title Douluo, gaining a single level was an immense feat.
A single level could mean the difference between heaven and earth! …
At Chen Qingling's villa, in the bathroom.
The two women, their faces flushed, finished dressing and walked out of the bathroom.
Perhaps to ease the awkward atmosphere, Ning Rongrong gave a light cough.
"Cough, Qingling, did you find any trace of your mother at Moonlight Pavilion?"
Chen Qingling shook her head, "No, but I learned something. There aren't so many accidents in this world. Perhaps my mother had some unspoken difficulties and chose to leave me and Father."
"Maybe one day, my mother will come back on her own?"
"But I won't give up on finding my mother's whereabouts!"
"If I don't find my mother, I won't go home in this lifetime. I wouldn't have the face to see Father."
Chen Shenggē: Good, good, good, you really are Father's good little padded jacket!
Ning Rongrong looked at Qingling's exceptionally determined eyes and patted her fragrant shoulder heavily.
"Rongrong, I will always believe in you. You will definitely find your mother!"
Suddenly.
A flash of inspiration sparked in Ning Rongrong's mind, and she changed the subject, "Qingling, did you meet someone at Moonlight Pavilion? Who was talking to you just now?"
For some reason, Ning Rongrong was very sensitive about this, as if she was afraid that Qingling would be taken away by someone else.
"Meeting someone at Moonlight Pavilion... Just Sister Yuehua, the owner of Moonlight Pavilion." Chen Qingling blinked her big, bright eyes and said innocently.
A plain sentence, but it was completely different in Ning Rongrong's ears.
"Sister Yuehua!"
"What's wrong? Rongrong?"
"Nothing... nothing." Ning Rongrong calmed her emotions, realizing that it didn't seem like a big deal. Why did she react so strongly!
This feeling made Ning Rongrong feel very strange, indescribable.
Looking at Ning Rongrong, who seemed a bit perplexed, Chen Qingling chuckled, "You and you, always so excitable. Are you just too thrilled to see me? Can't control your emotions."
"Don't flatter yourself. I'm not." Ning Rongrong pouted, trying to be stubborn.
Then, the two of them walked silently onto the rooftop, watching the sunset.
"The sunset is so beautiful..."
"Yeah, if it could always be like this, how wonderful would that be?" Ning Rongrong's expression was filled with longing, wishing she could always be with Qingling. With her by her side, she could feel at peace.
"I wish so too, but our journey has only just begun. We still have a long way to go."
"When I find my mother, we'll be able to watch it forever, as long as we want." Chen Qingling smiled, her eyes curving like a crescent moon, charming to behold.
Looking at Qingling's smile, Ning Rongrong became lost in thought.
Even after all this time, Chen Qingling's smile hadn't changed a bit.
It was a genuine smile, free of any pretense.
"When the time comes, we can travel everywhere. Ning Rongrong, would you like to come with me?"
"Of course I would! I'll hold you to that promise. Don't you dare go back on your word."
"It's a promise between us."
"Come on, pinky promise."
"Pinky promise, a hundred years, no take-backs! If anyone breaks it, they're a puppy."
As the sun set, the two girls linked pinkies, making their vow.
For a moment, the two women enjoyed a brief respite.
After a moment, Ning Rongrong broke the silence, "Qingling, I have to go now. I haven't had a chance to visit my father yet."
"Go, go. Uncle Fengzhi must be missing you terribly."
"Yes, but before I go, Qingling, tell me, how long do you plan to stay?"
"I don't know. Maybe a few days? Or perhaps a week? Or even a month?"
"Whatever happens, happens. Go with the flow." Chen Qingling said lightly, even she didn't know how long she would stay.
Having lived in the thatched cottage in the Star Dou Great Forest for twelve years, she had no concept of time. Wasn't life just about going with the flow?
In other words: cross that bridge when you come to it.
"With your words, I'm at ease." Ning Rongrong smiled, turned, and left, heading towards the direction of the meeting hall.
Watching Ning Rongrong's departing figure, until she was far away and out of sight, Chen Qingling reluctantly returned to her room to rest.
Actually, Qingling should have met with Ning Fengzhi, but considering that Rongrong and Ning Fengzhi hadn't seen each other in a long time, she should give them some personal space.
