Chapter 379 - 379 Comfort

Yu Yuanzhen snorted inwardly, his gaze falling on the sky, thinking to himself.

The sky was clear enough to expose Ning Fengzhi's true colors.

This also made the world see that the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was not as upright and honest as he appeared on the surface.

He had always known that beneath Ning Fengzhi's humility lay a strong sense of ambition and arrogance.

Now that it has been made public by Tianmu, it can be considered that he deserves it.

With his heart finally at ease, Yu Yuanzhen's aura softened considerably, and the expression he gave his clansmen was no longer as gloomy as before.

At least for now, with Ning Fengzhi and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School by their side, the pressure on the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Clan has lessened considerably.

...

Within the Beidou Academy, soul power swirled.

Most people were diligently cultivating in their respective training grounds. Ning Rongrong was with Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, Zhu Zhuqing, and a few others, reflecting on her recent cultivation experiences.

It was surrounded by a faint nine-colored halo of light from the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda.

Since the announcement of the list of hypocrites by the Sky Bureau, turmoil has continued on the mainland.

The group had been chatting about the happenings on the outside rankings during a break from their cultivation.

But the sudden surge of golden light in the sky shattered the tranquility of the courtyard.

A powerful divine pressure descended from the sky, enveloping the entire Beidou Academy. Everyone in the academy stopped what they were doing and looked up at the sky.

When the words "[Sixth on the list of hypocrites: Ning Fengzhi]" were fully displayed.

When the comments about Ning Fengzhi were clearly displayed on the screen.

Ning Rongrong's calm expression froze instantly, as if struck by lightning, and she stood there dumbfounded.

"Father..."

She murmured softly, her voice trembling uncontrollably.

His once clear eyes were instantly filled with shock and disbelief.

Immediately, a strong sense of loss and grievance welled up in her heart, and her eyes reddened slightly.

In Ning Rongrong's heart, her father Ning Fengzhi has always been a gentle, refined, and sincere gentleman.

As the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, he devoted his entire life to protecting the sect and its people.

He pampered himself even more, and was the most respectable person in the world.

She never imagined that her beloved father would be listed on the list of hypocrites despised by everyone.

For a moment, Ning Rongrong was in turmoil, her heart filled with confusion and loss.

She even began to wonder if her father's usual gentleness and humility were all a facade.

In the eyes of the world, were my father's years of sacrifice all just deliberate calculations of self-interest?

Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, and Zhu Zhuqing, who were standing to the side, were also shocked by what was shown on the screen, their faces filled with astonishment.

Having spent every day with Ning Rongrong, they naturally knew Ning Fengzhi's character.

I also understand that this sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has done a lot for the sect.

I was equally shocked to see him on the list.

But seeing Ning Rongrong's distraught and depressed appearance, the three of them immediately came to their senses and rushed over to gently comfort her.

Dugu Yan patted Ning Rongrong on the shoulder first, her tone full of concern.

"Rongrong, don't be sad. Look carefully at the explanation in the sky. All of this is the original life's predetermined trajectory. It's something that hasn't happened yet, not something that's actually happening now!"

Ye Lingling nodded quickly and added gently, "Yes, Sect Master Ning is the sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and the entire sect consists of support-type Soul Masters, so his own combat strength is inherently weak."

"In this dog-eat-dog world, the only way to preserve a sect is to maneuver among various forces. This is a helpless measure, not the hypocrisy that Tianmu claims."

"The situation on the mainland is already dangerous. The Spirit Hall has always been eyeing the three sects covetously. If Sect Master Ning is not shrewd and does not plan ahead for the sect, he will not be able to protect the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School at all."

"This is all part of the sect leader's responsibility, not some deliberate scheme."

Although Zhu Zhuqing spoke little, every word she uttered was sincere and to the point.

The three of them took turns talking and patiently comforting Ning Rongrong, constantly helping her to sort out her emotions.

"Moreover, Tianmu has already said that since it descended upon Douluo Continent, fate has been completely rewritten, and the things mentioned here will never happen."

"No one can predict what the future holds, so there's no need to make yourself so sad over things that haven't even happened yet."

Listening to her friends' advice, Ning Rongrong's chaotic emotions gradually calmed down.

She took several deep breaths, forcing herself to calm down, and looked back at the contents of the sky, carefully considering what everyone had said.

Yes, this is just a judgment of the original future; nothing has happened yet.

My father devoted his entire life to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and to countless members of the clan.

Everything he did was for the sake of protection, not for investment calculations as Tianmu claimed.

Moreover, she is currently at Beidou Academy, with Dean Lu Xiao overseeing the academy, whose strength is unparalleled on the continent.

Even the five great god-kings of the divine realm were no match for them.

Beidou Academy has long been the most solid backing of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

My father will no longer have to live the life he was destined to have.

In order to find someone to rely on, they deliberately flattered and depended on Tang San.

There's no need to make choices against your conscience just for the sake of the sect's survival.

Thinking of Tang San, Ning Rongrong's eyes instantly turned cold, and a strong sense of resistance and alienation arose in her heart.

During this period, the Sky Curtain successively released a list of hypocrites, and almost all of Shrek Academy's Flander, Zhao Wuji, and Liu Erlong were on the list.

Everyone's hypocrisy was completely exposed.

Tang San, as the core of the Shrek Seven Devils, was relentlessly pursued by the Spirit Hall, and his aura of violence was extremely strong, making him ruthless in his actions.

No one knows what kind of schemes he's hiding in his heart.

In Ning Rongrong's view, Tang San was by no means a good person.

Cooperating with such a person is undoubtedly like seeking help from a tiger; no one can predict what kind of disaster it will ultimately bring to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Moreover, almost everyone associated with Tang San has made it onto the list of hypocrites.

This is enough to show that these people are not as kind as they appear on the surface.

Fortunately, fate has now been rewritten, thanks to the protection of Beidou Academy.

The father completely distanced himself from Tang San and from the conflicts within Shrek Academy.

There's no need to follow that unfortunate path that was originally planned.

Having figured all this out, Ning Rongrong's disappointment and grievances completely dissipated, and her eyes regained their former radiance.

She looked at her companions and smiled gratefully.

"Thank you all. I've thought it through. I really shouldn't worry about a futile future."

Seeing that Ning Rongrong was completely at ease, Dugu Yan and the other two also breathed a sigh of relief.

The group stopped worrying about the rankings and continued exchanging ideas about cultivation, restoring peace to the courtyard.

At this moment, the entire Douluo Continent's gaze remained fixed on the sky.

The shockwaves from Ning Fengzhi's inclusion on the list have yet to subside.

"Boom boom boom!"

The golden light in the sky surged once more, spreading an even more majestic and profound aura. The fifth place on the list of hypocrites is officially announced!
