Even without any accidents, she could at most live for another hundred years!
"I can't do it!!!" Ning Rongrong slumped back into her seat, mumbling to herself.
As Ning Rongrong's words fell, tears streamed from her eyes, crystal-clear droplets tracing down her cheeks onto her fair neck, leaving Ning Rongrong's face ashen and her gaze hollow.
Although Ning Rongrong was unwilling to admit it, she knew that Ning Fengzhi's idea was correct; the future of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was uncertain, and someone had to make a sacrifice, and she was the best candidate for that sacrifice.
Ning Rongrong's talent was not weak, and her beauty was of the highest caliber. In terms of identity, she was Ning Fengzhi's most beloved daughter. If Ning Fengzhi expressed the idea of a marriage alliance with Lin Chen, regardless of whether Lin Chen agreed, it would fully demonstrate the sincerity of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
"Look... I'm even marrying my precious daughter to you. This shows how loyal my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is to you!"
Similarly, for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, as long as she married Lin Chen, all future problems would be resolved. Her Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School could not only safely develop on the Sun Moon Continent but also remain on the Douluo Continent without any issues.
But all these prerequisites meant that Ning Rongrong had to sacrifice her own happiness. In her previous life, Oscar had done nothing to betray her, and in this life, Oscar was still the same towards her. These two-life destinies made Ning Rongrong unwilling to give up no matter what!
Ning Fengzhi felt a hint of reluctance when he saw Ning Rongrong's appearance, but this reluctance was quickly cast aside.
For the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's hundred, thousand, or even ten thousand-year inheritance plan, what did these personal feelings amount to? If Ning Fengzhi's Spirit had not evolved, he might still have felt reluctant, but now that his Spirit had evolved, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School... no, it should be said that the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School's future was promising. Therefore, for the Sect, someone had to make a sacrifice. Even with all the reluctance, he could only harden his heart and make Ning Rongrong suffer a little!
"Rongrong, Father knows this is difficult for you to accept all at once, but everything is for the Sect's inheritance. Please, Father is begging you!" Ning Fengzhi said with a bitter expression.
Ning Rongrong's wooden expression showed a slight change upon hearing this.
Seeing this, Ning Fengzhi continued, "Rongrong, we should always look on the bright side. Father asking you to marry Lin Chen actually isn't a loss for you. Lin Chen has outstanding strength and a handsome appearance; he is a rare young talent. Of course, appearance isn't the most important thing. The most important thing is that I believe he has other Immortal Herbs. If you marry him, what if he can help your Spirit evolve? Perhaps you still have hope of becoming a God!!!"
Hearing Ning Fengzhi's words, Ning Rongrong's eyes lit up. She looked deeply at Ning Fengzhi, a hint of reluctance in her eyes, but more than that was longing. Immortal Herb, this was something she had yearned for since returning to the Douluo Continent. On the Douluo Continent, if one could not become a God, they were ultimately ants. Thinking of how Zhu Zhuqing had easily obtained an Immortal Herb from Lin Chen, she no longer hesitated, nodding gently, a bitter smile appearing on her face.
Ning Fengzhi was overjoyed at the sight. He said, "That's right, Rongrong, Father would never harm you. Trust me, you will never regret today's choice in the future!"
Ning Rongrong nodded, the reluctance reappearing on her face. After a moment of thought, Ning Rongrong said, "But what about Little Ao?"
Ning Fengzhi smiled and said, "Don't worry about Oscar's matter; leave it to me to handle!"
Ning Rongrong's eyes narrowed, and she pleaded, "Father, I forbid you from harming Oscar! Please, let him live out his life well, okay?"
How could Ning Rongrong not know about the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's shadowy, underhanded methods?
It was well-known that Bone Douluo had assassinated geniuses from other Sects, though there was no proof, so nothing could be done about Bone Douluo. As for the talk of the Upper Three Sects being united, that was all nonsense, merely an excuse to resist Spirit Hall. When the Clear Sky Sect was forced to seal its mountains and close its Sect by Spirit Hall, neither the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan nor the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School showed any signs of resistance. Now that their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School had been incorporated by Spirit Hall, they naturally couldn't oppose Spirit Hall anymore.
The current Ning Rongrong was not the naive, innocent girl of her previous life. Having overseen life and death in the God Realm, she was quite clear about the practices of those major powers.
Therefore, what Ning Rongrong worried about most was that Ning Fengzhi would make a move against Oscar. From her understanding of Ning Fengzhi, he would definitely nip Oscar in the bud. As the saying goes, 'one day as husband and wife, a hundred days of kindness.' Even if they couldn't be husband and wife in this life, Ning Rongrong hoped Oscar could live well!
Ning Fengzhi frowned upon hearing this and said, "Rongrong, why would you think that of Father? Our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and Oscar have no grievances or grudges; how could we harm him? Don't worry, I will give him a fortune, enough for him to live a comfortable life!"
Ning Fengzhi thought to himself: If you don't cut the grass by the roots, there will be endless troubles. Why is he a food system Spirit Master with innate full spirit power? Why can Oscar become a God?
Seeing Ning Fengzhi agree, Ning Rongrong nodded gently. She knew very well in her heart that this was merely self-deception. Now, regarding Oscar's matter, she was unwilling to face it; the only thing she could do was escape!!!
With a decision made between father and daughter, Ning Fengzhi joyfully left the conference hall.
Watching Ning Fengzhi's back completely disappear, Ning Rongrong stood up and slowly walked to the window, overlooking the entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. Her eyes showed a determined look.
"Little Ao, I'm sorry. In this life, I have failed you. I hope you can live well!"
"After all this, it's as if I've returned to the starting point. If I had known this, why would I have bothered? Sigh..." Ning Rongrong mumbled to herself!
...
Inside Ning Rongrong's boudoir in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Oscar lay leisurely on Ning Rongrong's bed, smelling the faint fragrance emanating from the bedding. Thinking about his future life, a happy smile appeared on Oscar's face!
"Pfft..."
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Oscar sat up happily and looked towards the door, only to find that it wasn't Ning Rongrong who entered, but an old man.
Oscar's smile did not fade as he stood up and respectfully bowed, saying, "Junior Oscar greets Senior Bone Douluo!"
Gu Rong chuckled and said, "No need for formalities. I already know about your and Rongrong's matter. Fengzhi has an important task for you, concerning our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's ten-thousand-year inheritance plan. Are you willing?"
