Douluo : Diary System in Douluo Continent

After the vines loosened from Dai Mubai's body, he stretched his limbs briefly before heading back toward the academy on his own.

Following him were Tang San and Oscar, while Su Ming and the others brought up the rear.

Su Ming glanced at Oscar, shaking his head slightly. Oscar had just claimed he wanted to pursue Ning Rongrong, yet when Dai Mubai made his move earlier, he didn't react at all. Worse, he even defended Dai Mubai in the end. How could someone like this win Ning Rongrong's heart?

That said, Su Ming could understand to some extent. Oscar and Dai Mubai had known each other much longer, and their bond was naturally deeper than the one he shared with Ning Rongrong, whom he had only recently met. Still, it was clear that Oscar's chances with Ning Rongrong were now slim to none.

As Su Ming mused, he also decided that he no longer saw Oscar as someone worth taking under his wing. When Oscar initially expressed his intent to compete with him for Ning Rongrong, Su Ming had already dismissed the possibility. But now, after Oscar's decision to side with Dai Mubai, he felt that viewing Oscar as a rival would only lower his standards.

Lost in thought, Su Ming was suddenly pulled back to reality by Ning Rongrong's voice.

Walking beside him, Ning Rongrong softly said, "Su Ming, thank you for helping me today. If Dai Mubai really gives you trouble in the future, I'll ask my two grandfathers and my father to step in for you!"

Since Su Ming had no intention of joining the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Clan, Ning Rongrong didn't want to push him. She figured he must have his own plans.

Su Ming responded with a faint smile. "Don't worry. Dai Mubai doesn't have what it takes right now. His strength is inferior to mine, and even if he wanted to hire someone to deal with me, it would cost him dearly. Given his current circumstances, I doubt he can afford it. And even if he tried, I have my own trump cards. There's no need for you to worry."

Hearing this, Ning Rongrong's concerns eased significantly.

Beside them, Xiao Wu chimed in with a confident tone, "Don't worry. Brother Su Ming is really amazing. Since he said so, there's no way Dai Mubai could get the upper hand with underhanded tricks."

Xiao Wu had absolute faith in Su Ming. She hadn't forgotten that he hadn't used his Sharingan in a long time. Considering how much time he'd spent training, there was a chance his Sharingan had already evolved.

Before long, everyone returned to the academy and went their separate ways back to their dorms.

In the girls' dormitory, Zhu Zhuqing had been back for some time, but she hadn't seen the others return. This made her uneasy, as though something had happened.

Just as she was about to head out and check, Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong walked in.

Unable to hold back her curiosity, Zhu Zhuqing asked, "Xiao Wu, Rongrong, weren't you right behind me? Why did it take so long for you to come back?"

In a huff, Xiao Wu recounted everything that had happened after Zhu Zhuqing left, venting her anger at Dai Mubai's actions.

After hearing the story, Zhu Zhuqing felt a pang of guilt. Ning Rongrong had spoken up for her, only to almost get hurt by Dai Mubai. Thankfully, Su Ming intervened in time. Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

With remorse written all over her face, Zhu Zhuqing looked at Ning Rongrong and said, "Rongrong—"

Before she could finish, Ning Rongrong clasped her hands and patted them reassuringly. "Alright, it's all in the past now. Besides, I've disliked Dai Mubai for a long time. Standing up to him felt quite satisfying—actually, it was a bit thrilling! Oh, and just so you know, I wasn't speaking up for you alone. I had my own reasons too."

Xiao Wu shot Ning Rongrong a glare. "If Brother Su Ming hadn't stepped in, that 'thrill' of yours would've turned into terror!"

Knowing her actions had been risky, Ning Rongrong stuck out her tongue playfully, not bothering to argue.

Suddenly, as if recalling something, Xiao Wu asked curiously, "Rongrong, what exactly was your reason for standing up to Dai Mubai? I understand that you wanted to seek justice for Zhuqing, but isn't that a bit too dangerous? Even though you're the heir to the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Clan, you're still a support-type Soul Master, while Dai Mubai is an assault-type."

After pulling the two of them into the room and sitting them down, Ning Rongrong finally explained, "It might have been dangerous, but I think it was worth it. Besides, I achieved what I wanted, and the result was very satisfying."
