"No need, the one just now was already enough."
Ning Rongrong hurriedly waved her hands in refusal.
She was born into wealth and privilege and was not the type who liked taking advantage of others. Her earlier words had only been spoken casually, without targeting Su Cheng.
Judging only by appearance, the three bottles of potions in front of her looked far better than the one just now.
"If I give it to you, just take it. No need to be polite with me."
"Can this also increase soul power?" Ning Rongrong's face flushed slightly as she shyly reached out to accept them.
"Pour it into warm bathwater. When you bathe, soak in it for an hour. Use one bottle every day. It can strengthen your physical foundation."
Ning Rongrong was stunned when she heard this.
Not increasing soul power, but strengthening the physical foundation?
But she was just an auxiliary-type soul master!
Su Cheng guessed what she was thinking and smiled. "It's still what I said before. Even auxiliary-type soul masters should have some means of self-protection. No matter what, I truly treat you as a little sister. At the very least, I hope you'll have the right to freely choose your future. If you're unwilling to train, then using some medicine is better than nothing."
Ning Rongrong stared blankly at the three glass bottles in her hands.
The smooth crystal surface reflected faint light under the sunlight. The liquid inside was slightly viscous, and seemed to emit a faint herbal fragrance.
She felt somewhat moved.
She had no idea how valuable these potions were, but just the medicine that had helped her break through her bottleneck earlier was definitely extraordinary.
After experiencing the thrill of instantly advancing one level, she naturally no longer dared to underestimate Su Cheng's attainments in this area.
Moreover, what Su Cheng had just said also caught her completely off guard.
Watching the changes in Ning Rongrong's expression, Su Cheng also felt a bit emotional.
Damn it, finally someone whose personality hasn't changed much from the original.
Ever since he came to Tian Dou City, he had discovered that quite a few key characters in the plot had changed somewhat.
And whether it was Qian Renxue or Ning Fengzhi, he was relatively familiar with them in the simulated world, and could clearly sense their oddities.
Fortunately, although Ning Fengzhi's behavior was somewhat strange, overall he was still the same master of the world's number-one auxiliary sect that Su Cheng knew.
Smooth in handling affairs, adept at social maneuvering, betting everywhere and pulling in talents—otherwise, the restraints he faced would have been even greater.
Up to now, only Ning Rongrong could still be considered normal.
Although she had some princess-like temper, as long as the medicine was tailored to her needs and she gained recognition, it was quite easy to handle her.
"By the way, how much do you know about the Empire's Crown Prince?"
"I know a bit. What's wrong?"
After putting away the potions, hearing Su Cheng suddenly mention Xue Qinghe, Ning Rongrong felt somewhat puzzled.
"He looks a bit serious. Dressed all in black. I've never seen a noble young master dressed like that."
"Hmm…" Ning Rongrong also showed a thoughtful expression and slowly said, "Indeed, he once visited the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect before. At first, he wasn't like this."
"What?" Su Cheng was startled when he heard this. "Then what was he like back then?"
"He looked very gentle and approachable, polite and refined, and his reputation was also very good. At that time, my father admired him quite a lot. But in the past few years, he hasn't come as often. Father also said that he couldn't quite see through him anymore."
"When did this change happen?" Su Cheng's expression turned solemn as he hurriedly asked.
"Let me think… probably more than four years ago. Back then, there were quite a few people in the upper circles of the imperial city discussing this matter."
"More than four years ago?!"
Su Cheng's expression changed drastically.
Wasn't that the time when he had just left Wangsu Village and entered Notting Academy?
So, the source of Xue Qinghe's—or rather, Qian Renxue's—change came from him?
If it was because of him, then it was actually a good thing.
What he feared most was that this world was not the original timeline, just like in the simulated world where there was no transmigrator Tang San—this world might also be an alternative Douluo world.
If that were the case, his foreknowledge advantage would be completely useless.
But then, what exactly was the reason?
His martial soul awakening?
Or the activation of the simulator?
Or perhaps because of his conflict with this world's Son of Destiny, Tang San, which inadvertently changed something?
However, when he entered the simulation back then, it seemed like something about a "string of fate" had been mentioned. Was it related to that?
In the following period of time, Su Cheng spent most of his days steadily cultivating in the academy, only occasionally giving Ning Rongrong some guidance.
According to his observations, after using the body-refining medicinal baths, the effect on improving her physique was indeed quite remarkable.
After all, as an auxiliary-type soul master, her physique was inherently weaker, and her absorption of medicinal effects was even better than that of ordinary people.
Ning Rongrong also became much closer to him, but Su Cheng was not very good at dealing with little girls of her age, so most of the time he let her train with the team.
During these days, Yu Tianheng often showed concern for Su Cheng. He rarely questioned why Su Cheng didn't train with the group much.
However, his words often carried probing undertones, and he would occasionally ask about the potions indirectly.
Su Cheng understood clearly—most likely the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect had some thoughts.
He didn't rush to refuse, instead letting the other party wait a few more days.
Yu Tianheng indeed had a very good impression of Su Cheng.
In his eyes, Su Cheng's strength and talent were unparalleled, yet he neither fought nor competed and was very easy to get along with.
Although he didn't often train with the team, he also didn't monopolize Ning Rongrong, this top-tier auxiliary-type soul master, showing great magnanimity.
But when he thought of the family's stance, he still felt somewhat troubled.
The other party addressed the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's little princess as brother and sister, and had even become the sole disciple of Sword Douluo Chen Xin. Compared to that, the identity he was proud of didn't really count as an advantage.
At present, the only method was to play the emotional card.
Su Cheng could roughly guess what he was thinking, but he was too lazy to pay attention.
During this period, besides cultivating soul power, he spent most of his time honing his sword dao domain, which made it inconvenient to cultivate together with others.
Moreover, those people simply couldn't keep up with his rhythm.
And so, nearly a month passed like this, and the person he had been waiting for finally arrived.
Tian Dou Royal Academy, team lounge.
At this moment, besides Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan, there was also an old man sitting inside, next to Dugu Yan, the two appearing very close.
At first glance, the old man looked ordinary. His clothes were just a plain gray robe, but upon closer inspection, he was far from ordinary.
His tall, thin figure sat upright like a spear standing straight. His hair and beard were both dark green, and his eyes were even more like emeralds, shining brightly.
His aura was deeply concealed, like an abyss or the sea.
His cheeks were slightly stiff, his cheeks sunken, and the green hair on his head was scattered messily.
His hands were tucked inside his sleeves, his eyes half-open and half-closed. He didn't even glance at Yu Tianheng standing to the side, only patiently listening to Dugu Yan speaking beside him.
