Inside Ning Rongrong's boudoir.
Ning Rongrong carefully took out the Invisibility Talisman, stuck it on herself, and then her figure disappeared. After that, she came in front of the mirror, which was empty, with nothing in it.
She took off the Invisibility Talisman, and her figure appeared in the mirror, a look of pleasant surprise on her face.
This item is truly excellent. As expected, everything from Brother Zhuge is good stuff.
Now, it's just a matter of waiting for an item like the Puppet Talisman. With that, she can find an opportunity to leave this place.
At this moment, the sound of guards arguing rang out from outside.
"Patriarch Bai He, this is the third time you've come within the last few days. Don't you know that our young lady cannot go out right now?"
Then, Patriarch Bai He's voice was heard.
"Just one time, just this once."
Afterward, the guard's voice was heard again.
"No, no. If you want to see her, you can see her after a month. Why do you keep coming these past few days?"
Ning Rongrong knew that Patriarch Bai He had come to deliver the Puppet Talisman to her. In this situation, she had to go get it herself. So, she quickly walked out and then opened the door.
And said,
"Let Patriarch Bai He come in! I did ask him to handle a small matter earlier."
The guard shook his head.
"Young lady, the Sect Master has given orders that no one is allowed to enter. If you have anything to say, say it here. If there's anything to give, give it here."
Patriarch Bai He was stunned for a moment, then took out the puppet doll and handed it to Ning Rongrong.
"Miss Ning, this is the doll you wanted. I'll leave once I give it to you."
After Ning Rongrong received it, a hint of confusion appeared on her face. After all, it was supposed to be a Puppet Talisman, but why was he giving her a doll? Suddenly, her eyes lit up. She was very clever; the Puppet Talisman must be hidden inside the doll.
After taking the puppet doll in her hand, she said to Patriarch Bai He,
"Patriarch Bai He, thank you for your trouble. If you have nothing else, please leave!"
Patriarch Bai He nodded and then left.
Seeing Patriarch Bai He leave, a guard whispered,
"Young lady, Patriarch Bai He has come several times. We suspect he might have ill intentions. If you need anything in the future, just tell us brothers, and we guarantee to get it done for you."
Ning Rongrong smiled and said,
"Okay, I won't let him come again in the future. I want to eat Peach Blossom Crisps again. Who will go get them for me?"
One guard excitedly said,
"Me, I'll go buy them for you."
The other guard's face showed a hint of worry.
"How about tomorrow? It's a bit late today, not very suitable."
Ning Rongrong waved her hand.
"Alright, tomorrow works too. I'll go back to rest first."
Anyway, for her, she had already gotten what she wanted. As for the Peach Blossom Crisps, it was just a casual remark.
The guard quickly said,
"Young lady, please go back. We will definitely protect your safety."
Ning Rongrong nodded, then entered the room, closed the room door, and also closed the windows. Then she took out the puppet doll and examined it, checking if there was a Puppet Talisman inside.
She didn't find the Puppet Talisman, but she found a small slip of paper. Her eyes lit up.
She immediately picked it up and read it.
[This is a Puppet Doll. Drop a drop of essence blood on it, and it can transform into your appearance and imitate your lifestyle. It will persist as long as it is not attacked.]
Ning Rongrong was still pleasantly surprised. To be honest, when she didn't find the Puppet Talisman just now, she was a little disappointed.
This Puppet Doll can imitate her lifestyle, which is much more powerful than the Puppet Talisman. As long as it's not attacked, it will always exist. She couldn't wait to show it off.
Then she dripped a drop of essence blood onto the puppet doll, and the puppet doll began to transform.
In the blink of an eye, a lifelike beauty appeared before her and said to her,
"Greetings, Elder sister."
She quickly made it change back into the puppet doll. She was startled just now; she didn't expect this Puppet Doll to be able to speak after turning into her. It was too realistic.
As for when to leave this place, she planned for tomorrow.
It was already late today. Next, she needed to plan carefully how to leave quickly without leaving any traces.
Inside a secret room one kilometer away from this place.
Sect Master Ning lay on a chair, his face full of fatigue. At this moment, Sword Douluo, dressed in a cyan robe, walked over from a distance and said,
"Sect Master Ning, the Elder Council should have made a decision by now, right?"
Sect Master Ning looked at Sword Douluo and said in confusion,
"I asked you to come with me earlier, why didn't you go?"
Sword Douluo smiled.
"I am only responsible for protecting your safety. As for matters within the Sect, I don't care. Besides, what can I, alone, change?"
Sect Master Ning shook his head helplessly. Sword Douluo's strength was obvious to all, but he wasn't very interested in political matters. However, this was also why he trusted Sword Douluo so much.
He looked at Sword Douluo and said,
"After the unanimous decision of the Elder Council, we agree to the transaction with Spirit Hall: behead Zhuge Lan and send his head to Spirit Hall."
Sword Douluo snorted coldly.
"I knew it would be like this. Are they eyeing that area in the Star Dou Great Forest? That's Spirit Hall's foundation. I don't believe they would use it for a trade. Besides, Chrysanthemum Douluo is not high-ranking in Spirit Hall."
Sect Master Ning was stunned for a moment, then said helplessly,
"It's already been agreed upon, and I've already replied to the Supreme Pontiff of Spirit Hall. This matter must be done. Sword Douluo, do you have any objections?"
Sword Douluo shook his head.
"Since it's already decided, I have no objections. Is it necessary for me to do it?"
Sect Master Ning was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
"I heard that Zhuge Lan has many means of escape. Do we need to send another Titled Douluo?"
Sword Douluo shook his head.
"Don't you trust my strength? I can definitely cut off Zhuge Lan's head with one sword. It's just a pity for this rising star."
Sect Master Ning breathed a sigh of relief. With Sword Douluo taking action, Zhuge Lan's head should be secured. But how should he tell Ning Rongrong about this matter, since Zhuge Lan and Ning Rongrong are very good friends?
When she finds out that Zhuge Lan was killed by Sword Douluo, she might cause a huge fuss.
After thinking for a moment, he said,
"Sword Douluo, this matter absolutely cannot be told to Rongrong. I need to go find Rongrong and tell her to be quiet for a while."
Sword Douluo listened, a hint of confusion appearing on his face.
"Why?"
Sect Master Ning explained,
"Because Zhuge Lan is Ning Rongrong's friend. They've known each other for a long time. Otherwise, last time when Zhuge Lan trespassed into Spirit Hall, Rongrong wouldn't have supported him so strongly and contacted several great Sects to jointly deal with Spirit Hall."
Sword Douluo listened, and his brows furrowed.
"How about you let Rongrong leave the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect first? I'm worried about some unforeseen circumstances, and Rongrong might not acknowledge me as Uncle Sword anymore."
Sect Master Ning nodded.
"Okay, I'll go do that right away."
