Chapter 390: Ning Rongrong Learns Everything
The news of the destruction of the Star Luo Empire shocked everyone. Upon arriving at Sea God Island, they couldn't believe such a huge change had taken place on the continent in just two years.
However, Ning Rongrong, for once, stopped her usual playful attitude. After dinner, she pulled Ning Bei aside with a worried expression.
"Brother, was it the Spirit Hall's doing?"
"Mm, well, you could say that."
Ning Rongrong was confused, feeling like her brother was joking. What kind of answer was that?
"What do you mean, 'you could say that'? Are they going to target Heaven Dou or the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect next?"
"Oh ho, it's rare for our little princess to worry about the sect's safety."
Seeing that her brother wasn't taking the matter seriously, Ning Rongrong felt a bit relieved. At least it meant that the situation hadn't developed to the point where the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was unable to resist.
Ning Rongrong pouted and gave Ning Bei a frustrated slap, her curiosity growing even more.
"You're so annoying, Brother. How can you joke around at a time like this? Hurry up and tell me what's going on."
After teasing his little sister for a while, Ning Bei decided to tell her the truth. After all, she was the future pillar of the sect.
"Rather than saying it was the Spirit Hall's doing, you could say it was my doing. I summoned a beast tide made up of nearly ten thousand soul beasts in Star Luo City, and directly flattened the entire city."
"Ah! Why? Wasn't this a bargain for the Heaven Dou Empire? Now the Spirit Hall only needs to focus on dealing with Heaven Dou."
Hearing this, Ning Rongrong was even more confused. She couldn't understand why her brother would do such a thing. But what Ning Bei said next left her frozen in place.
"It's not that complicated. The Heaven Dou Empire is already under the control of the Spirit Hall."
Seeing Ning Rongrong's eyes widen in shock, Ning Bei couldn't help but laugh.
"What, surprised?"
"Is the Spirit Hall... has the Spirit Hall already unified the continent? What will happen to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?"
Ning Rongrong didn't doubt what her brother said about the Spirit Hall controlling the Heaven Dou Empire. Was he trying to joke about something like this?
"It's fine. Even if the Spirit Hall completes the unification, the future pillar of the continent will still be the Ning family."
"..."
"What's with that expression?"
Seeing Ning Rongrong stare at him in silence with a look of curiosity, Ning Bei almost couldn't help but give her a few good knocks on her little head.
"Brother, does that mean Bibi Dong is going to be my sister-in-law? She's already fifty..."
"Bang."
"Ow! Didn't you say the future ruler of the continent will have the last name Ning? What are you going to do with Bibi Dong? Why are you hitting me?"
Ning Rongrong, holding her head, glared at her unscrupulous brother. He started saying half sentences, and when she used her imagination, he refused to comply. But her gossip-loving soul quickly made her forget the pain in her head. She wagged Ning Bei's arm with a cute smile.
"Brother, tell me, I'm dying of curiosity!"
"Hmph, what, are you hoping that something will happen with Bibi Dong? Did you forget what the Spirit Hall's surname was before?"
"Uh, it's Qian. What does that have to do with the future world having the surname Ning? The previous Pope, Qian Xunji, died under the hammer."
"Mm, you're right. But does that mean no one can have descendants?"
"Ah? So why did the Pope entrust Bibi Dong with the position? And does the Qian family have any relation to us?"
Ning Rongrong's eyes were filled with curiosity, and she couldn't wait to get more details. She felt that something wasn't adding up.
"Mm, the previous Pope's daughter is your sister-in-law, and in the future, the Spirit Hall will still be handed over to her."
"Wait, doesn't Bibi Dong intend to give up all that power? That's impossible, right?"
Ning Rongrong, though she didn't care much about the situation on the continent, knew that Bibi Dong was the most powerful person in the world now. She couldn't imagine that someone like her would give up her authority.
"Your sister-in-law is her daughter. What is there to give up?"
"..."
Ning Rongrong didn't know how many times she had been shocked into speechlessness. She couldn't believe what she was hearing.
"Wait, hold on, Brother. Let me get this straight. You just said that the previous Pope, Qian Xunji's daughter, is my sister-in-law, right?"
"Yes."
"And you also said that my sister-in-law is Bibi Dong's daughter, right?"
"That's right!"
"If I recall correctly from my studies in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Bibi Dong was the disciple of Qian Xunji, right?"
"Uh, yes, that's right."
Ning Rongrong bit her lip. Since nothing was wrong with the facts, this explosive news seemed to be true.
"Brother, then Qian Xunji..."
"Mm."
Ning Bei nodded, signaling that her guess was right. Ning Rongrong immediately wore a troubled expression.
"Brother, if someone wants to silence me, you'd better protect me."
"Just don't go around talking about it."
"But it's so hard for me to keep it to myself! How can I not share something so interesting with Xiao Wu and the others? Wouldn't I be sad?"
"Mm, that's true. But if you say it, don't blame me when you meet your other sister-in-law and she doesn't like you."
Upon hearing this, Ning Rongrong deflated. She had wanted to be the future emperor's sister-in-law, but she couldn't make her future sister-in-law dislike her.
"I'll endure it. A small sacrifice for a greater plan. From now on, I'll take care of my little nephew."
"Hahaha, you're already thinking about that before it even happens?"
"Of course! The future emperor's sister-in-law, how impressive is that? Brother, you're really something. I'll help you keep it from Yan Zi, you work on speeding things up."
Seeing the worry on Ning Rongrong's face disappear completely, Ning Bei smiled. He looked mischievously at Xiao Wu.
"Well, you should focus on getting through the Sea God trial. I'll tell you, your sister-in-law has a divine position inheritance too."
"Ah! Brother, how can you say something like that when we're all so happy?"
Thinking about the waves constantly crashing against her, Ning Rongrong immediately showed a bitter expression. The key was that she still had to endure a whole year of this, but that bitterness was quickly drowned out by her gossip-loving soul.
"Brother, how did you meet my sister-in-law, who has always been in the Spirit Hall?"
"Who said she's always been in the Spirit Hall? You've seen her, and several times at that."
"Impossible! If I had seen her, I would definitely remember. I have a great memory. Don't try to fool me!"
"Didn't you meet Crown Prince Xue Qinghe?"
"Yeah, I've met him a lot of times. He used to come to the sect to find Father. What does that have to do with my sister-in-law?"
"He's your sister-in-law."
"..."
Ning Rongrong immediately took a step back and distanced herself from Ning Bei, looking at him with disgust.
"Brother, have you lost all decency? Even if he's a man, you..."
"Bang."
"Ow, woo, you're bullying me! I'll go home and tell Dad!"
"Who told you he's a man? Really, Xue Qinghe died a long time ago. Your sister-in-law has been using a head soul bone to disguise herself as Xue Qinghe."
Upon hearing this, Ning Rongrong finally looked like she understood. She was shocked and said:
"So that's what happened!"
"Ah, I remember now. No wonder she smiled at me so kindly for a while, like a family member. So you two were already together back then?"
