Chapter 8 Engagement
Chapter 8 Engagement
"Let's go."
Su Li took Ning Rongrong's soft little hand and accompanied her to the conference hall.
Inside the magnificent hall, the dazzling crystal chandelier emits a soft golden light. There is an exquisite eight-immortal table carved from black wood with dark patterns, and the armchairs on both sides are of the same quality.
As soon as you step into the gate, the first thing that catches your eye is a huge picture of the Seven Treasures Linglong Pagoda, and above the picture is a plaque of the Seven Treasures Liuli Sect that looks like a dragon and a phoenix dancing, strong and powerful! The ornaments made of various jade or porcelain seem to be placed randomly, but in fact they contain mysteries.
In the hall, Sect Leader Ning Fengzhi was sitting in the chair, drinking tea, while the two Douluo Jian and Gu were sitting opposite each other.
As several footsteps were heard, the three of them looked towards the gate. When they saw Su Li holding Ning Rongrong's hand, Jian Gu and the other two Douluo were all smiling. Only Ning Fengzhi showed a look of pain. The cabbages that he had raised were taken away by the pigs.
Putting aside the gap, Ning Fengzhi cleared his throat and looked at the two of them with a serious face.
"Rongrong, come here first. Dad has something to ask you."
Hearing this, Ning Rongrong walked obediently to Ning Fengzhi, looking back at Su Li from time to time.
Seeing this scene, Ning Fengzhi not only felt that girls should not be kept when they grow up, but his handsome and elegant face turned a little pale. When Ning Rongrong came to him, Ning Fengzhi whispered in her ear.
"Rongrong, answer me honestly, do you like Xiao Su?"
Faced with Ning Fengzhi's direct question, Ning Rongrong's fair and tender little face instantly turned rosy.
What should I do? Why did Dad suddenly ask me this question? Should I answer truthfully? What if Dad doesn't like Su Li? Will he force us to break up? What should I do? What should I do?
After much thought, Ning Rongrong finally decided to answer truthfully.
"Dad, I like Su Li!"
After saying that, Ning Rongrong looked at Ning Fengzhi with a determined expression.
"If you don't agree with us being together, I will ignore you and live with Grandpa Jian from now on!"
Although he had guessed that Ning Rongrong would say this, when she said it herself, Ning Fengzhi still felt a little heartbroken, and there was some unkindness in the look he gave Su Li.
Touching Ning Rongrong's head, Ning Fengzhi pretended to be happy and said to her.
"How could that be? Dad loves Rongrong the most. How could he possibly make Rongrong sad?"
Hearing this, Ning Rongrong happily hugged Ning Fengzhi.
"Thank you, Dad. You are the best dad in the world."
Listening to Ning Rongrong's sincere words, Ning Fengzhi felt even more heartbroken. The love he had shown her for six years was not as good as this kid's company for one day! He looked at Su Li without disguising his anger, staring at him fiercely.
Noticing that Ning Fengzhi's gaze towards him was a little abnormal, Su Li couldn't help but fall into self-doubt.
Why do I feel like I stole his daughter?
"Xiao Su, what do you think of Rongrong?"
For some reason, the seemingly calm words always sound a little jealous.
"Replying to Sect Master, Rongrong is a very cute girl in my opinion."
Ning Rongrong, who was beside Ning Fengzhi, felt as sweet as if she had eaten honey when she heard Su Li praising her like this. In contrast, Ning Fengzhi felt bitter inside.
"In that case, how about I betroth RongRong to you?"
"what!"
"what?"
Two exclamations were heard at the same time, the first one was full of shock, while the second one was filled with a hint of disbelief.
"Why? Do you think my Rongrong is not worthy of you?"
For a moment, the whole hall was filled with the smell of gunpowder.
Ning Rongrong, who was beside Ning Fengzhi, had fallen into deep fantasy at this time. The love stories she had read in books kept appearing in her mind, and she was drawn into them. She didn't notice what Ning Fengzhi was saying beside her at all.
"Master, I dare not."
Humph, you wouldn’t dare!
"What did you just call me?"
"Master, no, father-in-law." Su Li quickly changed the words.
"Well, you must protect Rongrong well in the future. If Rongrong gets hurt in any way, I will hold you accountable!" Ning Fengzhi looked at Su Li and said seriously.
"Well, I will definitely protect Rongrong and never let her get hurt!" Looking at Ning Fengzhi's serious eyes, Su Li answered firmly.
"Okay! You said it yourself! Uncle Jian, Uncle Gu, you all saw that I didn't force Xiao Su at all. He did it completely voluntarily."
After hearing this, the two Douluo who had been sitting on both sides and watching the show said with a smile that they would testify for Ning Fengzhi.
Su Li, who was standing aside, watched this scene and couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
. . . . . .
Following Jian Douluo back to the bamboo forest, Su Li ran in quickly when he saw the new bamboo house. A lot of things happened today, and he needed to sort them out.
After staying alone in the bamboo house for a while, Chen Xin walked in and sat on Su Li's bed without saying a word.
"Xiao Su, I want you to practice swordsmanship with me for the next few days. Rongrong has awakened his martial spirit for more than a month. I want to wait until Rongrong's martial spirit reaches level 10, and then take you to get spirit rings."
"No problem, Grandpa Jian. I also want to be like Grandpa Jian."
Looking at the well-behaved disciple in front of him, Chen Xin touched Su Li's head with satisfaction, then gave some instructions and left.
Not long after Chen Xin left, Su Li immediately ran to the bed and lay down, recalling the scenes that happened today in his mind.
Perhaps he was a little tired, and soon Su Li fell asleep.
. . . . . .
In the light pink boudoir, Ning Rongrong tossed and turned on the bed, her delicate face buried deep in the soft pillow.
"You stupid dad, you didn't even tell me in advance, making me so worried."
Recalling the scenes with Su Li, Ning Rongrong smiled foolishly, then thought of some of her fantasies in the hall, her little face turned red again, and she tucked her head into the quilt, from time to time a rich and happy laugh came from under the quilt.
"From today on, I am Su Li's fiancée, right? Then can I live with Su Li?"
It is better to act than to think. She put on her pajamas, picked up her pillow, and jumped all the way with her delicate feet in bunny slippers.
He walked into the bamboo forest skillfully, looked at the newly appeared bamboo houses, and ran over decisively.
Standing in front of the bamboo house and looking at the bamboo door in front of her, Ning Rongrong hesitated for a moment.
"It's so late, will Su Li be asleep? Will I disturb him if I knock on the door now? Will Su Li dislike me because of this? Also, I just made an engagement with Su Li, and I came to see him at night. Will Su Li think I'm a frivolous girl?"
For a moment, Ning Rongrong stood outside the door blankly, lost in thought.
At night, the originally comfortable breeze was a little chilly, and Ning Rongrong, who was only wearing pajamas, soon began to shiver slightly.
"Aqiu!"
Ning Rongrong sneezed cutely and looked at the bright moonlight. When she was about to go back, the bamboo door behind her opened and a familiar face came into view.
