9: C9 A Quality Like Ice and Moon,
Did comprehension affect intelligence?
Fang Yuan understood.
But with insufficient destiny points, he could only sacrifice some things.
As long as he could still cultivate, that was enough.
You grew up happily like this until you turned six.
You were well-known in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect as the beautiful fool.
Everyone knew you weren’t very bright, but they couldn’t help feeling affection for you the moment they saw your face.
Under the auspices of Sect Master Ning Fengzhi, you participated in the sect’s awakening ceremony.
Your parents were worried—if you weren’t very smart and your martial soul turned out to be poor as well, how would you survive in the future?
After all, they would eventually grow old and pass away, unable to care for you forever.
A seven-story small tower, shimmering with flowing light, appeared in your hand—it was the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect’s inherited martial soul, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.
Sect Master Ning Fengzhi nodded in satisfaction and asked you to test your innate soul power.
Your eyes were clear and innocent, transparent as the purest crystal, as if one could see straight through to the bottom.
And then…
You spent a long time failing to put away your martial soul.
Fang Yuan: “…”
Comprehension was still somewhat important.
Could the simulated version of himself actually cultivate properly?
Fang Yuan was beginning to lose confidence.
You finally managed to put away your martial soul and tested your innate soul power.
Level seven.
Ning Fengzhi instantly forgot the frustration caused by your foolishness just moments ago.
Beaming with joy, he wanted to take you as his disciple.
You looked up, confused, not understanding what was happening.
Behind Ning Fengzhi, a cute and noble little girl also looked at you with great curiosity.
You were drawn by the beautiful hair ornament she wore and showed her a smile—with a quality like ice and moon, you were radiant as a celestial child.
Ning Fengzhi began to take you seriously as a talented disciple of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
He started asking your parents about you.
Your parents were apprehensive, but still honestly told him everything about you.
After learning that you weren’t very bright, Ning Fengzhi showed regret on his face, yet also became even more satisfied.
You were moved to the core area of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and began receiving the sect’s guidance and training.
Ning Rongrong enjoyed spending time with you and playing tricks on you.
With your poor mind, you didn’t notice at first and happily played along with her.
As time went on, you were tricked again and again, and again…
Finally, you developed muscle memory.
Every time you saw Ning Rongrong coming to find you, you hid.
However, you were still not very bright.
Your hiding was as foolish as plugging one’s ears while stealing a bell—you’d bury your head and close your eyes, thinking Ning Rongrong couldn’t find you, while actually most of your body was exposed.
Ning Rongrong found you with ease every time.
You grew up day by day like this.
Ning Rongrong’s talent was slightly better than yours, and her soul power level was always one or two levels ahead of you.
One day, Ning Rongrong suddenly stared at you without moving.
Thinking she was about to bully you again, you closed your eyes in fright.
Your hair wasn’t pulled, and your cheeks weren’t pinched.
You cautiously opened your eyes, only to feel warm breath against your face—Ning Rongrong’s face was only a centimeter away from yours…
She kissed you on the cheek.
You couldn’t help but step back, not knowing what this bad girl who always bullied you was trying to do now.
But Ning Rongrong directly hugged you, not giving you a chance to retreat.
Ning Rongrong finally let go, her face flushed red as she looked at you.
She muttered, “Little fool, how can you be so beautiful?”
Your crystal-clear pupils remained innocent, your bearing elegant and refined, your expression clear and bright, your temperament pure and unworldly, untouched by worldly desires.
You had absolutely no idea what Ning Rongrong had just done—not a hint of ambiguity or desire in your heart.
Ning Rongrong loudly declared, “You’re mine now.”
Outside the room, Ning Fengzhi watched the entire scene, his expression darkening.
You were sent away, leaving the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and entering the Heaven Dou Royal Academy to study…
