Ao Tian is actually from the Spirit Hall!
Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong were both stunned.
They had both speculated about Ao Tian's identity, thinking he was least likely to be from the Spirit Hall.
Because if Ao Tian were from the Spirit Hall, why would he come to a dilapidated academy like Shrek Academy, which didn't even have a ranking system?
And why would the Spirit Hall release such a monstrous genius? Even if he did
, there would definitely be many powerful protectors, right? Therefore, they previously thought Ao Tian was least likely to be from the Spirit Hall.
But they never expected that Ao Tian would actually say he was from the Spirit Hall.
How could this be?
"Ao Tian, are you joking?" Ning Rongrong asked, wanting to reach out and touch Ao Tian's forehead, but after thinking about it, she suppressed the impulse.
Zhu Zhuqing's large eyes also stared at Ao Tian's face, waiting for his answer.
"I'm not joking." Ao Tian smiled and took out a token. This was the Pope's Token given to him by Bibi Dong. Seeing the token was equivalent to seeing the Pope himself; it was the highest-level token of the Spirit Hall.
Historically, such tokens had only appeared a few times, and hadn't appeared in nearly a hundred years. Apart from the staff of the Spirit Hall, ordinary people wouldn't recognize it.
Bibi Dong considered Ao Tian's special status. The higher-ups of the Spirit Hall knew that Ao Tian was her man, but others didn't.
So she gave Ao Tian this token, which would allow him to enjoy the highest treatment no matter which Spirit Hall on the continent he went to.
As soon as Ao Tian took out the token, Ning Rongrong's expression changed drastically.
Her eyes were fixed on the golden token, embroidered with intricate patterns, and her heart was about to jump out of her throat.
"Can I see it?" Ning Rongrong said.
She found that her voice was trembling slightly.
Ao Tian handed the golden token to her.
Ning Rongrong took it with both hands, then stroked it with slight trembling, examining it carefully.
Seeing Ning Rongrong's posture, Zhu Zhuqing, though unable to recognize what it was, guessed that the token must belong to the Spirit Hall and be an item proving Ao Tian's identity.
Zhu Zhuqing began to hesitate.
Ning Rongrong examined it for several minutes before returning the token to Ao Tian with a complex expression, saying, "This is the legendary Pope's Token. I didn't expect you to possess the highest-level token in the Spirit Hall. Your status in the Spirit Hall must be extremely high."
Hearing Ning Rongrong's words, Zhu Zhuqing felt conflicted and began to ponder.
Ao Tian took back the token and smiled, "That's right, my position in the Spirit Hall is second only to the Pope."
As he said this, certain images suddenly flashed through his mind; he was indeed below Bibi Dong.
After all, Bibi Dong was the domineering female Pope, and Ao Tian was willing to be below her.
He looked at Zhu Zhuqing and asked, "Now that you know my true identity, are you still willing to stay by my side?"
Zhu Zhuqing, who had been keeping her head down, raised it and looked intently at Ao Tian's face, saying, "I've decided, I still choose to follow you."
"Why?" Ao Tian asked.
Although the Spirit Hall's focus was on the Heaven Dou Empire, and its pressure on the Star Luo Empire wasn't as great, the Star Luo Empire, like the Heaven Dou Empire, was hostile to the Spirit Hall. As a family within the Star Luo Empire capable of marriage alliances with the royal family, the Zhu family's education should have instilled an anti-Spirit Hall mentality in its members. Zhu Zhuqing's decision to follow Ao Tian after learning his identity piqued Ao Tian's curiosity.
Zhu Zhuqing said, "Ever since being chosen as Dai Mubai's fiancée, I've suffered endless oppression in my family. They only have eyes for Zhu Zhuyun; I'm just a pitiful sacrifice. I've endured countless torments in my family over the years. I have nothing to do with them anymore. Now, I only represent myself. Why can't I follow you?"
Ao Tian said, "Since you want to follow, then follow."
He quite admired Zhu Zhuqing, so having her follow was no problem.
Zhu Zhuqing inexplicably felt relieved and smiled gently at Ao Tian.
"Such a gentle smile is rare," Ao Tian teased.
Zhu Zhuqing blushed and remained silent.
Ao Tian looked at Ning Rongrong, who was looking conflicted, and asked, "Ning Rongrong, now that you know my identity, what are your thoughts? Do you still want to follow me?"
Ning Rongrong immediately puffed out her chest and said, "The Spirit Hall is just a small fry, not some monster. I've always been someone who distinguishes between gratitude and resentment. You all helped me so much at Shrek Academy. Even if you're from the Spirit Hall, we can still be friends."
Ao Tian shook his head and said, "You're really a bit naive. Your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has always been resentful of the Spirit Hall. If your father knew you said such rebellious things, he'd probably break your legs."
Ning Rongrong's expression changed slightly, but she still stubbornly said, "What's there to be afraid of? That's just what my father and some uncles think. In my opinion, you are loyal and righteous, and you don't seem like bad people. Besides, I'm just being friends with you, not with the Spirit Hall."
From childhood, her father had instilled in her the idea that the Spirit Hall was evil, but Ao Tian and the others gave her a different feeling.
During her months at Shrek Academy, Ao Tian and the others had given her a lot of help. She hadn't seen Ao Tian bully good people; instead, she had witnessed him punishing disgusting guys like Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun.
In her eyes, Ao Tian was a good person and not a bad guy at all.
"Young people are still too emotional," Ao Tian sighed inwardly. He hadn't expected Ning Rongrong to answer like that. He had
thought Ning Rongrong would sever ties with him from then on, and if that were the case, Ao Tian would erase that part of her memory.
"Then will you tell your father about my identity?" Ao Tian asked.
Ning Rongrong shook her head and said, "No, if I tell my father, he's very likely to come after you."
"But Ao Tian, can you promise me one thing?" she asked.
"What thing?"
"Can you please not harm the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School in the future?" Ning Rongrong said. She hesitated for a moment, then continued, "I heard that many years ago, the most powerful of the three upper sects, the Clear Sky Sect, suffered many deaths and declined because of the attack by the Spirit Hall."
She was very worried that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School would suffer the same fate in the future.
The Clear Sky Sect once possessed many Title Douluos, yet they were all severely defeated. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School only has two Title Douluos; can it withstand the attack from the Spirit Hall?
Judging from Ao Tian's token, she knew he held a significant position within the Spirit Hall, perhaps even wielding considerable influence.
Ning Rongrong didn't want her sect to fight the Spirit Hall.
Although she was proud of her sect's strength, she understood that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was far inferior to the Spirit Hall.
