**Chapter 361: Forget It, Just Lie Down**
Looking at Ning Rongrong sitting on his lap and feeling the petrified looks of Ning Fengzhi and the two sect protectors, Zhao Ling smiled awkwardly.
He agreed that Ning Rongrong should not be too close to him for the time being. After all, this girl is really young.
Such overly intimate behavior made him feel somewhat out of control.
But this girl doesn't care about anything. She just wants to be close to me like this, and I feel helpless.
As the awkward atmosphere grew thicker, Zhao Ling quickly moved to put Ning Rongrong down from his lap and said to Ning Fengzhi, "Brother Ning, it looks like it's going to rain soon. I just remembered that I haven't collected the clothes I hung out to dry at home yet. I... I'll take my leave first."
Ning Fengzhi and the two sect protectors looked outside the hall. The golden sunlight was shining on the courtyard in front of the hall, reflecting a dazzling light.
The three of them twitched their lips.
"Hey, Demon Suppression Douluo, at least come up with a decent excuse. How can Rongrong let you leave when you're lying through your teeth?"
Zhao Ling noticed their expressions and quickly adjusted his approach. A moment later, a bolt of lightning flashed across the sky above the hall and courtyard.
Dark clouds gathered out of nowhere, quickly piling up.
Soon, the sky above Tiandou City was covered in dark clouds, giving the entire city the impression that the heavens were about to collapse.
"Shit..." Ning Fengzhi and the two Protector Douluo stared at Zhao Ling in horror.
What was going on with this Demon Suppression Douluo? Just a few minutes ago, the sky over Tiandou City was clear.
Yet when he said it was going to rain, the weather changed immediately. If they said this had nothing to do with him, the three of them would never believe it.
As for this ability, Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo, as Titled Douluo, felt that they couldn't achieve it.
Not only could they not do it, even the great priest in the Spirit Hall couldn't. Perhaps the high priest on Sea God Island could do it, but how could Ning Rongrong let Zhao Ling leave so easily? She hugged his arm again and acted coquettishly.
"Brother Ling, just stay. I remember that Aunt Long'er and Aunt Yin'er are at home taking care of the kids. Besides, there are so many servants in your family. Even if it's really going to rain, they will take care of the clothes.
Anyway, Rongrong won't let you leave. You're here for the banquet today. If you go back now, Rongrong will hate you for the rest of your life. Hum..."
"Uh..."
Since Ning Rongrong said so, Zhao Ling naturally couldn't leave. After all, he did have some feelings for her.
If he were to be disliked by this girl, it would be a great loss. Besides, a fairy herb is still a very precious gift.
What's more, he had been in a relationship with the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect for so long, wasn't it just for the chance to pursue this girl one day?
"Okay... since Rongrong said so, then I can only stay..." Zhao Ling sighed softly and sat back down in the armchair.
"Okay..." Ning Rongrong smiled sweetly and sat back in Zhao Ling's arms. Ning Fengzhi and the two sect protectors could only shake their heads helplessly.
Forget it, just lie down.
Rongrong has set her sights on the Demon Suppression Douluo anyway, so no matter how much they object, it's probably useless.
While waiting for lunch, Ning Rongrong sat next to Zhao Ling and occasionally used her chopsticks to pick up food for him. She looked like a gentle and considerate little woman, which made Ning Fengzhi envious and jealous.
This girl has never picked up food for herself like this. Isn't it said that a daughter is a father's sweet and caring little cotton-padded jacket?
But Rongrong had always been willful and capricious in front of her father.
Want her to pick food for her father? Forget it. Ning Fengzhi didn't even dare to think about it.
Even Ning Fengzhi didn't dare to consider it, let alone Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo. Although Rongrong called them Grandpa Jian and Grandpa Gu, they had never experienced the treatment of Rongrong personally picking food for them.
If this precious little girl were made unhappy, she might even say something heartbreaking like, "Grandpa Jian, Grandpa Gu, Rongrong doesn't want to play with you anymore."
Seeing how the Demon Suppression Douluo was treated, the two Protector Douluos felt a little disappointed.
Therefore, Ning Fengzhi and the two Protector Douluos could only hope that the meal would finish quickly and that after the meal, the Demon Suppression Douluo would leave as soon as possible.
Although this guy gave Rongrong a fairy-grade herb, which was considered a great favor to their Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, they couldn't forget that Rongrong was so devoted to the Demon Suppression Douluo.
So, after a few years, this girl would definitely run away with him, and the fairy herb he gave now would end up as a betrothal gift. Eventually, it would be returned to her.
After finishing the lunch in an awkward atmosphere, Zhao Ling quickly said goodbye to Ning Fengzhi and the two sect protectors and fled from the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.
There was no other choice. He and Ning Fengzhi were too close, and now he was about to win over someone else's daughter. It would be a miracle if they were nice to him.
After Zhao Ling left, Ning Rongrong puffed up her cheeks in dissatisfaction and glared at Ning Fengzhi and the two sect protectors angrily.
"Dad, Grandpa Jian, Grandpa Gu, what on earth do you want to do? Rongrong has already said that she loves Brother Ling in this life and will not marry anyone else.
This is what Rongrong has decided for her whole life. Whether you agree or not, Rongrong has made up her mind. You treated Brother Ling coldly like that, and now you still want me to recognize him as my master? Don't even think about it. Rongrong will be Brother Ling's bride. If you continue like this, Rongrong will run away from home and go to Brother Ling's house and never come back."
After saying that, Ning Rongrong snorted in dissatisfaction, turned around, and left.
Ning Fengzhi and the two sect protectors could only shake their heads helplessly.
Alas, it is said that girls cannot be kept when they grow up.
But Rongrong has always been loyal to the Demon Suppression Douluo since she was young, and no matter how much they try to persuade her, she won't change her mind. What can they do? Just let it go.
After sighing, Gu Douluo spoke to Ning Fengzhi in a questioning tone.
"Fengzhi, I think since Rongrong's martial soul has become the Nine Treasures Glazed Tower, isn't it time for our Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect to change its name?"
Ning Fengzhi was silent for a moment, then shook his head.
"There's no need to rush this matter for now. Rongrong is still young. When she's able to take charge of things on her own, we'll let her inherit the position of the head of the family. Then we can legitimately change the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect to the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect."
"Well, I agree with this as well," Sword Douluo nodded and added. "Rongrong's future path will depend on her own. We can't help her too much. Perhaps, with the support of the Demon Suppression Douluo, she—and even our entire Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect—will go further..."
