Chapter 41: Mutual Schemes?
Qin Ming watched the students interacting and couldn't help but cough lightly.
"Rongrong, let me take you to your dorm."
Ning Rongrong immediately turned to look at Ye Xuanming, her little face showing a pitiful expression.
"Brother Ye, can you come with me?"
Those big, watery eyes were full of expectation; anyone who saw them would feel a pang of tenderness.
Ye Xuanming sighed.
It's really hard to resist a pink-haired little girl with that expression in front of you.
This lethality is second only to the white-haired loli!
"Okay, I'll go with you."
Dugu Yan muttered discontentedly from the side.
"Xuanming, aren't you being too nice to this little girl?"
Although Ye Lingling didn't say anything, she gently tugged at Ye Xuanming's hand to express her dissatisfaction.
Ning Rongrong made a smug face at the two of them, "Hehehe, Brother Ye is so good to me!"
The group arrived at the student dormitory area, where Qin Ming arranged a single room for Ning Rongrong.
The room wasn't large, but it was fully equipped, and there was even a dedicated meditation room.
"This is where you'll be living from now on," Qin Ming explained.
"The bedding is all new. If you need anything, feel free to contact me anytime."
Ning Rongrong walked around the room, her little face full of curiosity.
"It's much smaller than the rooms in the sect, but it's quite interesting."
Dugu Yan muttered under her breath, "Still being picky. It's good enough that there's a place to stay."
Ning Rongrong heard this and immediately retorted.
"Our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is one of the three upper sects, so of course my room is bigger!"
"What's wrong with the Upper Three Sects?" Dugu Yan retorted, "My grandfather was a Title Douluo!"
"Our sect has two Title Douluo!" Ning Rongrong retorted without backing down.
Seeing that the two were about to start arguing again, Ye Xuanming quickly spoke up to stop them.
"Alright, alright, stop arguing."
He turned to Ning Rongrong, "Rongrong, the dorms are all arranged, we should go back now."
Ning Rongrong's eyes darted around, and she suddenly spoke.
"Brother Ye, I want to go back with you!"
Ye Xuanming was taken aback.
"Going to Ye Mansion?"
"Yes!"
Ning Rongrong spoke with righteous indignation.
"This is my first day here, and I don't know anyone here. You can't just leave me here alone, can you?"
Qin Ming, standing to the side, looked somewhat embarrassed.
"Rongrong, isn't this a bit inappropriate? The Ye residence is, after all, a private residence."
"It's alright, Teacher Qin Ming." Ye Xuanming waved his hand.
Ye Xuanming knew that Ning Fengzhi couldn't possibly let Ning Rongrong be alone in the academy; there must be guards protecting her secretly.
Since that's the case, it doesn't matter if we bring one more little girl.
Dugu Yan objected, "You pink-haired brat, don't even think about going unless you call me and Sister Leng Leng!"
Ning Rongrong pouted, "Why should I call you 'older sister'? I'm not calling you that!"
She continued to act coquettishly towards Ye Xuanming.
"Brother Ye, please let me go. I'm so bored here all by myself."
The little girl tugged at Ye Xuanming's sleeve and swayed it gently, her voice so soft and sweet it melted one's heart.
But Ye Xuanming did not agree immediately; instead, he looked at Ning Rongrong seriously.
"Rongrong, I like Sister Yanzi and Sister Leng Leng. They are very good people. You need to be more sensible."
Although Ye Xuanming's tone was gentle, it carried an uncompromising meaning.
"Otherwise, I'll have Sect Leader Ning bring you back."
Ning Rongrong's eyes widened. "Brother Ye, you wouldn't really be so heartless, would you?"
"I keep my word." Ye Xuanming nodded.
Seeing Ye Xuanming's serious expression, Ning Rongrong knew he wasn't joking.
After weighing the options in her mind, the little girl ultimately chose to compromise.
"Okay, okay, Sister Yanzi, Sister Leng Leng," she said reluctantly, her voice barely audible.
Dugu Yan raised her chin smugly, "That's more like it."
Ye Lingling chuckled softly from the side, "Rongrong is so good."
Ning Rongrong thought to herself: That green-haired bastard will steal Brother Ye away sooner or later!
I'll make you so angry!
But outwardly, she nodded obediently, "Can we go to the Ye residence now?"
Qin Ming watched this scene and sighed inwardly.
Ning Fengzhi was targeting Ye Xuanming, and he understood that very well.
Since Ning Rongrong wanted to go to the Ye residence, he naturally wouldn't stop her.
"Then you can go now, but remember to attend class on time tomorrow," Qin Ming instructed.
"Understood, Teacher Qin Ming," Ye Xuanming replied.
The group left the academy and headed towards the Ye residence.
On the way, Ning Rongrong curiously looked around the streets of Tiandou City.
"It's so lively here, much more interesting than in the sect."
Dugu Yan pursed her lips beside her. "Is this your first time going out?"
"No, that's not true!" Ning Rongrong retorted.
"I've been out before, but… but I've never been out by myself."
Ye Lingling said gently, "You'll get used to it gradually."
Soon, the group arrived at the gate of the Ye residence.
Ye Xingyue was watering the flowers in the courtyard when she saw the three of them leading a pink-haired little girl back, and a look of surprise appeared on her face.
"Oh my, whose little princess is this? She's so cute!"
Ye Xingyue put down the kettle and walked over quickly.
"Hello, Aunt Ye!"
Ning Rongrong greeted everyone sweetly.
"My name is Ning Rongrong, and I'm Brother Ye's friend!"
Ye Xingyue's heart melted as she looked at the exquisitely beautiful little girl in front of her.
"You're so cute! Come in, come in, Aunt Ye has prepared something delicious for you."
She pulled Ning Rongrong into the house, completely leaving Ye Xuanming and the other two behind.
Dugu Yan muttered to herself from behind:
"Aunt Ye is so biased. We don't even get this kind of treatment when we come back."
Ye Lingling chuckled, "A mother just loves children."
Ye Xuanming shook his head and followed him into the house.
Ye Xingyue had already settled Ning Rongrong on the sofa and was busy preparing snacks in the kitchen.
"Rongrong, what would you like to eat? Aunt Ye will make it for you."
Ning Rongrong was a little embarrassed.
"Aunt Ye, you don't need to bother."
"No trouble at all, it's rare to have such a lovely little guest."
Ye Xingyue said with a smile.
After a while, Ye Xingyue came out with the snacks, and suddenly seemed to remember something, so she pulled Ye Xuanming aside.
"Xuanming, who is this child?"
Ye Xuanming then explained Ning Rongrong's identity and Ning Fengzhi's purpose in detail.
After listening, Ye Xingyue nodded thoughtfully.
"Xuanming, what are you thinking?"
Ye Xuanming pondered for a moment,
"I think we can try to win them over. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School loves to invest, and I am their investment target."
He paused, then continued,
"It's always better to have more friends than more enemies. As a great man once said, to accomplish great things, you need to make many friends and few enemies."
Ye Xingyue nodded approvingly.
"You're absolutely right, but be careful. Ning Fengzhi is a very shrewd man. Don't let him outsmart you."
"I understand," Ye Xuanming nodded.
As the two were talking, Ning Rongrong suddenly exclaimed in surprise from the living room.
Wow! What is this? It's so beautiful!
