Chapter 189: Busy man——Ning Fengzhi, what is he busy with?
"Jian Ren, do you know where Sky City is?"
Gu Rong scoffed.
"Heh~, Old Bone, I don't want to argue with you today.
Although Mianxia Natya, Spirit of War doesn't stay in Heaven Dou City year-round, her Plain and Unremarkable Shop should still be able to contact her!"
If it were usually, Chen Xin would definitely have argued with Gu Rong.
But now there are important matters to discuss, so the arguments can be put aside for now.
He'd find another opportunity later to teach that Old Bone, Gu Rong, a lesson.
"Hmm, what Uncle Sword said is right, the Plain and Unremarkable Shop should be able to contact War Spirit Douluo."
Ning Fengzhi nodded. Although he couldn't find the headquarters of Sky City, being able to contact Natya was enough.
No matter what, he had to try.
"In that case, Uncle Sword, let's go to the Plain and Unremarkable Shop to check."
After making his decision, Ning Fengzhi prepared to take Chen Xin to the Plain and Unremarkable Shop in Heaven Dou City.
Chen Xin nodded.
The reputation of the Plain and Unremarkable Shop, after years of fermentation, had long spread throughout the entire Douluo Continent.
Although it was known that the Plain and Unremarkable Shop was very profitable, no one dared to harbor ill intentions, as behind this small shop was a Titled Douluo overseeing it.
At this time, only a few Destroyers from Sky City were serving as shop assistants in the Plain and Unremarkable Shop.
As for the Misses Wang Teng bought from the Slave Market back then, Wang Teng had long burned their indentures, and they were all married now; Wang Teng would not delay those Misses.
When Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin arrived at the Plain and Unremarkable Shop, they were naturally warmly received by the Destroyers.
After all, more than half of the Plain and Unremarkable Shop's potion business revenue was contributed by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. So, they naturally treated Ning Fengzhi, this great magnate, with enthusiasm.
Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin were immediately invited in and served tea.
"Greetings, School Master Ning, Sword Douluo Mianxia. May I ask if School Master Ning's visit this time is for an important matter?"
This Destroyer knew that normally, disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School came to purchase potions, and Ning Fengzhi, as the Sect Master, would not appear.
Now that Ning Fengzhi had come, it meant there must be other important matters.
After all, School Master Ning was a busy man and must be very tired on weekdays, otherwise he wouldn't be using a cane~.
Hmm, this Destroyer wasn't very clear about what the great School Master Ning was busy with all day, perhaps busy saving fallen women?
"Sir, I would like to visit War Spirit Douluo."
Ning Fengzhi was a man of principle; even knowing that the Plain and Unremarkable Shop was an industry of Sky City, he wouldn't directly ask to see the City Master of Sky City.
He had already decided earlier to have Natya introduce them, as she was the only one they knew in Sky City.
"This~, School Master Ning, Mianxia Natya is not in Heaven Dou City today. Would you like me to report it?"
"Then I'll trouble you~!"
Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin were naturally prepared for not seeing Natya, and they both knew that Natya generally wouldn't come to the Plain and Unremarkable Shop, and she was rarely seen at the War Spirit Duke's residence either.
The two didn't stay long and returned directly to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
Subsequently, this Destroyer returned to Sky City and reported to Wang Teng.
"Lord City Master, Ning Fengzhi of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School wishes to visit War Spirit Douluo."
"Oh? Ning Fengzhi, this 'great clever one,' is looking for Natya?"
Wang Teng hadn't expected Ning Fengzhi to seek out Natya.
However, he quickly realized that it must be because the beast tide in Spirit City caused too much commotion, exposing many Titled Douluo of Spirit Hall.
And the general strength of his Sky City should also have been exposed.
This led to various forces on the continent increasing their vigilance against Spirit Hall. Could it be that Ning Fengzhi was worried about Spirit Hall attacking his Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and intended to ally with Sky City?
Waving his hand, he dismissed the Destroyer, and then Wang Teng began to ponder.
Wang Teng was wondering if it was time to approach the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
In Wang Teng's plan, Sky City and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School should not become opponents.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School had a great influence in the Heaven Dou Empire, deeply embedded in all aspects. If he had the support of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, he would be able to control the Heaven Dou Empire more easily.
This wasn't a matter of strength; with Sky City's current power, aside from Spirit Hall, even if the two great Empires united, Wang Teng was not afraid.
However, conquering a country is easy, but governing it is difficult. Managing an Empire, relying solely on overwhelming strength and the manpower of Sky City alone, was not enough.
If Sky City could persuade the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to surrender, it would be much easier.
Even if the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School surrendered, pacifying the Heaven Dou Empire's administrative system would naturally be very simple.
At that time, even if there were a lot of parasites, they could be slowly cleaned up.
After thinking for a moment, Wang Teng decided to find a time to lay his cards on the table with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
With a stick in one hand and a carrot in the other, if the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School didn't surrender, then Sky City wouldn't be blamed for playing dirty.
Of course, in Wang Teng's view, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was highly likely to be persuaded to surrender.
After all, Wang Teng had good things in his hands, which he believed Ning Fengzhi would absolutely not be able to refuse.
At this time, Wang Teng still had a Cosmic Soul and a Qiluo Tulip Immortal Herb in his possession. Both of these items could evolve the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Spirit.
He believed that for these Sect forces, maintaining their own heritage was the most important thing. And it could also allow the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to advance further. As for the Heaven Dou Empire, changing hands was not a crucial matter.
Furthermore, Wang Teng could also take out equipment from the System Shop that could give the support system Spirit Masters of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School considerable combat power.
Of course, Wang Teng would not give top-tier equipment; at most, he would provide Spirit Saint-level equipment, and only weapons.
With Sky City's strength, Spirit Saint-level Spirit Masters were not in Wang Teng's eyes unless their numbers were too vast; otherwise, they could not pose a threat to Sky City.
In the evening, after clearing the vice copy, Wang Teng spoke to Qian Renxue about the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
"Little Xue'er, I plan to take you with me tomorrow to persuade the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to surrender."
"??? What happened?"
"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School should have learned about the beast tide that Spirit City encountered last time, and Spirit Hall exposed a large number of Titled Douluo, causing them great pressure.
During the day, Ning Fengzhi wanted to find Natya, likely intending to form an alliance with our Sky City to jointly resist Spirit Hall."
"Uh, wasn't it Sky City and Spirit Hall together dealing with the beast tide at that time? Where does my teacher get the confidence to ensure that Sky City will confront Spirit Hall?"
Qian Renxue couldn't understand.
"I don't know either, but logically speaking, it's still possible.
After all, in this World, there are no two forces that can always be intimately close. Ning Fengzhi should be confident that he can persuade me to oppose Spirit Hall."
"My teacher, his intentions are quite bad, aren't they."
Qian Renxue naturally didn't care. It's said that one mountain cannot hold two tigers, but who made Spirit Hall and Sky City count as one male and one female?
"Uh, you're not much better yourself. He painstakingly cultivated you, but never expected you to be a spy for Spirit Hall."
As soon as Wang Teng finished speaking, he immediately felt something was wrong.
The soft flesh on his waist was given a 180° twist by Qian Renxue.
"Ow, ow, ow, Little Xue'er, let go~!"
"Hmph, I won't let go. Who told you to talk about me like that?"
"Wife~, I was wrong, I won't say it anymore."
"Mm~."
Qian Renxue nodded, satisfied.
"I don't know who came up with such a terrible plan, making you, a little girl, suffer such grievances at such a young age. It's simply a waste of talent."
"It's that bad woman!"
This was naturally Bibi Dong's doing. Back then, Bibi Dong, disliking Qian Renxue, sent her to the Heaven Dou Empire as an undercover agent, effectively putting her out of sight, out of mind.
"Hehe, then I should thank her, otherwise, we might not have met."
"Don't thank her!"
"Mm-hmm, I won't thank her anymore. We are a match made in heaven; no matter what, fate will always bring us together."
"Oh? When did your mouth become so sweet?"
Qian Renxue was a little surprised, not expecting Wang Teng's mouth to be as sweet as honey today.
"Whether my mouth is sweet, I don't know. But your mouth, Little Xue'er, is very sweet."
Saying that, Wang Teng looked at Qian Renxue's cherry lips with ill intent and licked the corner of his mouth.
Qian Renxue looked at Wang Teng flirtatiously, raised her head, and closed her eyes.
Seeing that the girl was emotional, Wang Teng was naturally not polite and immediately kissed her.
After a long while, their lips parted.
"Little Xue'er, let's go to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School tomorrow and lay our cards on the table with Ning Fengzhi. Always hiding it from Ning Fengzhi makes me feel a bit bad."
The teacher-student relationship in this World was much better than the teacher-student relationship in Wang Teng's previous life.
Although it wasn't necessarily 'once a teacher, always a father,' the relationship was still very good.
"Alright~!"
After thinking for a moment, Qian Renxue nodded.
Ning Fengzhi's treatment of Xue Qinghe was beyond reproach; in the Heaven Dou Empire, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School supported Crown Prince Xue Qinghe in all aspects.
Qian Renxue's heart also felt a bit bad about deceiving Ning Fengzhi, her teacher who had painstakingly cultivated her.
It was probably for this reason that in the original work, when Spirit Hall attacked the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, the losses were not too severe.
It wasn't like the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, where all members within their clan territory were directly annihilated.
Wang Teng naturally didn't believe that Spirit Hall couldn't annihilate the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
Although Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo were strong, trying to resist Spirit Hall was wishful thinking. Even if Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo could escape, the other disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School wouldn't be able to.
In fact, in the original work, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School originally had a winning situation, but unfortunately, Ning Fengzhi ruined a perfectly good hand.
At that time, if Ning Fengzhi had stood on the side of the Heaven Dou Empire, as long as he could have been a bit more cautious, the two pillars of the Sect—Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo—would not have fallen.
If Ning Fengzhi had been determined to support Qian Renxue, then relying on his actual teacher-student relationship with Qian Renxue, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School would still have fared very well.
After all, it was Qian Renxue who apprenticed under Ning Fengzhi, not Xue Qinghe. By then, Xue Qinghe would have long been dead.
However, if Ning Fengzhi stood on Qian Renxue's side, whether Ning Rongrong could become a Divinity in the future would be uncertain.
In the original work, Wang Teng couldn't say whether the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School ultimately lost or won.
Perhaps in Ning Fengzhi's heart, they won, after all, Ning Rongrong eventually became a Divinity.
