After Zhu Zhuqing left, Xiao Tianyang found himself with nothing to do, so he lounged on the hammock next to his room. He covered his eyes with a book, a lollipop in his mouth, humming a leisurely tune.
"Pleasant Goat, Beautiful Goat, Lazy Goat, Soft..."
"Brother Tianyang."
Xiao Tianyang raised the hand behind his head and lifted the book from his face. Recognizing the person, he lazily said, "Oh, it's you, Xiao San. Are you done with your work?"
"Well, yes, but that's not why I'm here."
Tang San's expression turned serious as he spoke. "Uncle Ning just asked about you."
"Then tell him the truth. I don't have any secrets."
Xiao Tianyang stretched his legs out of the hammock and swung gently. "If he doesn't believe it, he can check for himself. I'm not afraid of anyone."
Tang San shook his head. "Of course, I know that."
To be honest, they had grown up together, attended school together, and even came to Shrek Academy together. Except for a few days during their mid-term break, they had hardly been apart. In such a case, how could Xiao Tianyang have any secrets? Even if there were any, it would be about himself, not anything else.
So, Tang San continued, "Uncle Ning seems to be asking about medicinal herbs. He seems to already know..."
"I know about that too. Rongrong must have told them before she came back."
Xiao Tianyang couldn't help but snort. "That girl just can't keep a secret. She's unreliable."
"Who are you talking about?"
"Who else? Except for Ning Rong..."
The words stopped abruptly. Xiao Tianyang stiffly turned his head and saw a burly figure with a cold expression.
"Bone... Senior Bone Douluo, hello!"
Xiao Tianyang immediately flipped off the hammock and leaped several times to distance himself.
Ning Rongrong, who had just arrived, was stunned by the scene before her. She quickly recalled what Grandpa Jian had done in the Star Dou Forest back then and couldn't help but feel angry.
"Grandpa Gu, how could you do this?"
Ning Rongrong stepped forward and grabbed Bone Douluo's arm, snorting. "Could it be that you still want to steal his things? If I had known this earlier, I wouldn't have told you anything, really!"
Bone Douluo couldn't help but smile wryly and shake his head. "I just took a step forward, and I heard him talking bad about you..."
"Oh?"
Ning Rongrong watched as he walked away. "Is there such a thing?"
"It's true that you didn't keep the secret, isn't that right?" Xiao Tianyang asked rhetorically.
Ning Rongrong was taken aback for a moment, then her pretty face flushed.
"Then did you ever think about it at the beginning, if your clan members have evil intentions?"
Xiao Tianyang quickly glanced at Ning Fengzhi and Bone Douluo and said, "Of course, I'm not saying that the two seniors are bad people. I'm just making an analogy."
Immediately afterwards, he looked at Ning Rongrong again. "You want to share your joy with your family, there's nothing wrong with that, and I can understand it. But you know, once word gets out that I have this ability, do you know what will happen?"
"Don't say it's my teacher at that time, even the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will not be able to protect me if they stand up together! So, it's not wrong for me to say that you are unreliable in this matter?"
Ning Rongrong, Ning Fengzhi, and Bone Douluo were all stunned on the spot.
Even the latter two, who wanted to look at the problem from the perspective of their own children, found it difficult to refute.
They were not unreasonable people; they just loved Ning Rongrong too much and didn't allow others to bully her.
In fact, to put it bluntly, this matter could be said to be big or small. After all, this news was currently blocked to Ning Fengzhi and Bone Douluo, which was almost the limit. But what if there was an accident? Who made the mistake? Who would pay the price?
Especially Ning Fengzhi and Bone Douluo, they couldn't refute what Xiao Tianyang said. Because that was the truth, and if this scene really happened, it would probably be more serious than what he said!
One of them was the Sect Master of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, and the other was an elder, so they looked at problems from different angles. In this matter, they really couldn't hide Ning Rongrong anymore.
Of course, from a personal point of view, it was different. But now in front of others, they were elders. Could they take the initiative to reveal their selfish side? That was obviously not possible, so the road was blocked.
Xiao Tianyang felt relieved when he saw that his words had intimidated Bone Douluo.
'I was almost educated by a Title Douluo again. It seems that I have to pay more attention in the future,' he secretly warned himself.
The last time, it was because he said a few words about Ning Rongrong that Sword Douluo ran all the way to the Star Dou Forest to trouble him.
It was the same this time; just because of a single truth, Bone Douluo almost had a reason to act. Fortunately, he reacted quickly, otherwise he would have been beaten.
"For this matter, I want to apologize for Rongrong first. It is true that she did something wrong first." Ning Fengzhi took a step forward to apologize.
However, Xiao Tianyang did not dare to accept it and quickly stepped aside, shaking his head. "I am not talking about this matter to distinguish right from wrong, just to make sense. Also, I can understand Rongrong's behavior, and I don't want to blame her. These are just facts."
Ning Rongrong was still a little worried just now. Although Xiao Tianyang said so much, she didn't understand much. But at least she understood that the other party was explaining her fault.
When she heard Xiao Tianyang's addition later, all the gloom dissipated, and she ran to his side, holding his hand to please him. "Tianyang, I was wrong, but I promise I won't do it next time!"
Xiao Tianyang couldn't help but dodge quickly, with a serious expression. "Ahem, please pay attention. These two seniors are still here."
"You think I have a long life, don't you? It's not like you didn't see Bone Douluo's eyes; they almost swallowed me alive. Are you trying to get me beaten?"
Ning Fengzhi saw that the atmosphere was good and took the initiative to say, "Tianyang, once your secret is with us, we will never tell anyone else."
"Thank you, senior, for understanding." Xiao Tianyang cupped his hands and said.
"Why are you still calling us Senior?"
Ning Fengzhi looked at Xiao Tianyang with a half-smile. "Tang San calls me Uncle Ning, so just follow suit."
Xiao Tianyang also didn't want to embarrass Ning Fengzhi, not to mention that Bone Douluo was still here. Some things were inconvenient to explain clearly. Since Ning Fengzhi wanted it, just call him that.
Xiao Tianyang shouted, "Uncle Ning."
Ning Fengzhi nodded slightly but then said, "But shouldn't we also talk about serious business?"
Xiao Tianyang said seriously, "Are you talking about the same business that I am thinking about?"
'This kid isn't bad.'
While making a judgment in his heart, Ning Fengzhi also said with a smile, "Correct".
