Douluo : Diary System in Douluo Continent

Although Xiao Wu had the system-granted concealment skill, seeing Su Ming's intense concern for her didn't make her feel the least bit amused. On the contrary, her heart felt warm. This proved how much Brother Su Ming truly cared about her.

As soon as Gu Rong appeared, Ning Rongrong darted straight into his arms. Startled, he quickly spread his arms to catch her, enveloping her in a doting hug.

"Bone Grandpa! Why are you here?" Ning Rongrong exclaimed joyfully, looking up at Gu Rong with sparkling eyes.

Gu Rong patted her head affectionately with his right hand, his expression soft and indulgent. "How could I not come to check on you? If someone bullied you, how would I even know if I didn't show up?"

With a playful pout, Ning Rongrong retorted, "Bone Grandpa, considering my abilities, there's no way I could sneak out without you knowing. I thought everything would be fine."

Gu Rong shot her a stern look. "Now tell me exactly what happened yesterday. That old rascal Flender—don't worry, I already gave him a good beating. I doubt he'll have the nerve to trouble you again."

Hearing this from afar, Su Ming couldn't help but silently give Gu Rong a thumbs-up. Well done! Serves Flender right for purposely creating a scenario to force Oscar and Ning Rongrong to spend time alone while assigning an impossible task.

The task had rendered Ning Rongrong's Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda's buffs useless since it didn't restore stamina. That meant she had no choice but to eat Oscar's sausages to recover. If she refused, she'd fail the task—giving Flender the perfect excuse to "temper her character."

Gu Rong immediately used spatial transference to take Ning Rongrong elsewhere to discuss things in detail.

Moments later, the two reappeared on Shrek Academy's training grounds. Ning Rongrong ran straight to Su Ming's side, beaming as she introduced him.

"Su Ming, this is Bone Douluo, one of the two Titled Douluo of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan and one of my most beloved grandpas!"

Before Su Ming could respond, Gu Rong interjected, "Rongrong, what do you mean 'one of'? There's no 'one of'—I'm the one who loves you the most! Sword Douluo? Hah, he's nothing!"

Ning Rongrong sighed internally, knowing her Bone Grandpa was starting to compete with her Sword Grandpa again. What else could she do but play along? With a sweet smile, she said, "Okay, okay! Bone Grandpa loves me the most!"

Satisfied, Gu Rong nodded with a pleased expression.

Su Ming, standing nearby, had an odd look on his face. This is a man over a hundred years old? Why does he act like a child in front of Ning Rongrong? If I hadn't seen it myself, I wouldn't have believed it.

Still, he could see how deeply Gu Rong cherished Ning Rongrong.

Ning Rongrong turned back to Gu Rong and said, "Bone Grandpa, this is Su Ming. He helped me last night. His talent and strength are incredible!"

Gu Rong looked at Su Ming, his stern face breaking into a faint smile. "Young man, you're quite impressive. If you hadn't stepped in last night, Rongrong might have been in real trouble."

"However," he continued, "even if you hadn't acted, I would've intervened. And if I had, Dai Mubai wouldn't have gotten off so lightly—I'd have beaten him half to death."

In such a case, even the Star Luo Imperial Family wouldn't have been able to say a word.

As he spoke, a faint aura of killing intent emanated from Gu Rong. He was genuinely furious.

Su Ming, however, remained calm, bowing slightly toward Gu Rong. "Senior, you flatter me. I only acted because I felt Rongrong was right in what she said last night. Since that was the case, I couldn't let Dai Mubai harm her."

Gu Rong was pleased with Su Ming's composed and respectful attitude. Yet, he also felt a twinge of dissatisfaction. This kid... his words sound a bit too righteous. If he claims he isn't interested in Rongrong, I wouldn't believe it for a second!

Even before Dai Mubai had taken any overt action, Gu Rong had detected a faint trace of soul power circulating around Dai Mubai's feet—an obvious precaution set by Su Ming.

Moreover, he could clearly sense that Rongrong had developed feelings for Su Ming. In his heart, Gu Rong lamented, It won't be long before my little princess gets stolen away.

But with Su Ming's current demeanor, Gu Rong had no reason to lose his temper. This left him feeling frustrated. Damn it!

Then, Gu Rong turned his gaze to Oscar, his tone chilling as he said, "You must be Oscar. Let me warn you—stay in line and don't even think about having any ideas about my Rongrong. I've already figured out why your dean arranged for you and Rongrong to run together yesterday morning."

"Because of that, your dean has already had his share of punishment from me. As for you, don't try anything funny—you're just a food-type spirit master."

Oscar was overwhelmed by the oppressive aura radiating from Gu Rong. His face went pale, and he could only nod stiffly in acknowledgment.

At that moment, Zhao Wuji, who had just sensed the presence of a Titled Douluo in the academy, hurried over, looking rather distressed. Why do Titled Douluo keep showing up one after another these past few days?

Just two nights ago, after the new student assessment, Zhao Wuji had been beaten up by none other than Tang Hao, who had appeared out of nowhere. Although Tang Hao hadn't used any spirit abilities, just the sheer weight of the Clear Sky Hammer had left Zhao Wuji half-dead. His face was still bruised and swollen even now.

Originally, Zhao Wuji had planned to keep a low profile for the next few days. After losing face during the student assessment and then being thoroughly humiliated by Tang Hao, he didn't want to show up at all. But now, with the distinct aura of another Titled Douluo appearing, he had no choice but to come and check things out.

When the others saw Zhao Wuji approach and noticed the injuries on his face, they were taken aback. How did Teacher Zhao end up looking like this after just one day?

But Zhao Wuji didn't have time to explain. Standing before Gu Rong, he clasped his fists and greeted respectfully, "Ah, so it's Bone Douluo, Your Excellency. May I ask what brings you to our academy today?"

Gu Rong let out a cold snort. "My little princess is studying at your academy. Of course, I need to check on her and make sure she hasn't been wronged. This has nothing to do with you, so step aside."

Faced with Gu Rong's domineering demeanor, Zhao Wuji didn't dare say anything more. He quietly retreated to the side.

Unaware of what had happened the previous day at the Soto Great Spirit Arena, Zhao Wuji had been meditating at the academy to recover from his injuries. If he had known, he wouldn't have been so calm.

Su Ming watched Zhao Wuji's subdued behavior and couldn't help but feel disdain. Didn't Zhao Wuji always claim that a spirit master who doesn't stir trouble isn't a good spirit master? Now look at him, not daring to make a peep in front of Gu Rong. Typical bully who picks on the weak but cowers before the strong. Why doesn't he stand up to a Titled Douluo for once?

Oh, right. If he did, that Titled Douluo might just scatter his remains to the wind.

Gu Rong ignored Zhao Wuji entirely and turned his attention back to Su Ming. "Young man, I quite admire you. Your talent and strength are both exceptional. Are you interested in joining the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan?"
