"Rongrong, come to Daddy."
Ning Fengzhi didn't answer, immediately embracing the child.
At the same time, he began to send out a signal to prepare for defense.
"Daddy?"
Ning Rongrong looked at the sweat on Ning Fengzhi's forehead and finally stopped fussing.
She quietly stared at the doorway.
"Sect Master Ning, there's no need to make such a big fuss, we have no ill intentions."
The grand, solemn voice echoed only within the hall.
The outside of the hall was eerily silent.
Swish, swish, swish Ning Fengzhi paused his action of crushing the jade pendant in his hand.
"I can't move."
Shock flashed in Ning Fengzhi's eyes.
He looked up. He saw seven figures appearing one after another, standing in a row inside the hall door.
All of them had nine Soul Rings beneath their feet!
Martial Souls like the Golden Crocodile King, the Coiling Dragon Rod, and the Six-Winged Angel seemed to be filling the entire hall.
There were even two ancestors with a 100,000-Year Soul Ring.
The person in the middle was a figure of authority, both exciting and intimidating.
Eight black and one red, incredibly eye-catching!
The golden light was so bright it was almost blinding.
Seven powerful auras filled the hall, pressing down on Ning Fengzhi and the other two.
"You are..."
Ning Fengzhi's forehead was slick with sweat.
He could sense that none of the seven people before him were weaker than Sword Douluo! Even without seeing the Six-Winged Angel, he couldn't think of any other force that could be this powerful.
His expression grave, he said in a low voice:
"People from the Martial Soul Hall!"
"That's right."
Qian Daoliu nodded slightly.
He was wearing a golden robe and stood in the center of the seven people.
His golden eyes were sizing up Ning Rongrong.
He was somewhat relieved.
She doesn't look like some kind of freak. Xiao Jue should be able to accept her.
Sword Douluo had activated his Martial Soul and was on high alert.
Looking at Qian Daoliu, his pupils contracted slightly, and he suddenly retracted all his aura.
He bowed and saluted: "Junior Chen Xin, greets Senior Qian."
"Sword...you?!"
Bone Douluo's face was filled with confusion. But hearing Sword Douluo's address, he couldn't help but feel a chill.
This person was a Title Douluo from the Martial Soul Hall's Qian family.
Besides the former Pope, then the most likely candidate was the Peerless Douluo known as the strongest in the sky – Qian Daoliu!
He immediately retracted his Martial Soul and bowed in greeting.
"Junior Gu Rong, greets Senior."
Ning Rongrong blinked her eyes, looking at her two grandfathers in amazement.
She had never imagined such a day.
Her sword grandpa and bone grandpa weren't actually that invincible. She was the only one who wasn't targeted.
She moved freely.
"Haha, I don't usually walk around in the Soul Master world, it's rare that you still remember this old man."
Qian Daoliu laughed and put away his Martial Soul.
The Golden Crocodile King and the others followed closely behind.
Ning Fengzhi staggered, as if he had been fished out of the water.
"Dad, are you okay?"
Ning Rongrong's eyes were filled with heartache as she raised her hand to wipe the sweat off Ning Fengzhi's face.
"Dad's fine."
Ning Fengzhi shook his head.
Although his body had relaxed, his heart was still racing. With such a display, he'd believe it if they said they were here to destroy the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Sword Douluo responded.
"Senior's reputation as the strongest in the sky is unshakeable. How could the Soul Master world forget Senior?"
"Heh."
Qian Daoliu shook his head, a hint of pride on his face.
"Perhaps in a few years, the title of strongest in the sky will change hands."
Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo glanced at each other.
Their hearts were heavy, unsure of Qian Daoliu's intentions.
They also didn't know their purpose.
If they were here to cause trouble, the two of them might not even be able to get Ning Fengzhi and his daughter away, even if they were to fight to the death.
Ning Fengzhi composed himself.
Today was definitely the most difficult time since he had taken over as Sect Master. He understood.
In the face of absolute power, all those detours were superfluous. He placed Ning Rongrong behind the chair. Bowing, he greeted, "Seven Excellencies, your arrival is most welcome, Fengzhi has failed to meet you at the gate..."
Before Ning Fengzhi could finish.
Qian Daoliu smiled and said, "Sect Master Ning, there's no need to be so reserved. As I said before, we have no ill intentions."
"We just have something we'd like to discuss with Sect Master Ning."
"..."
A bitter smile appeared on Ning Fengzhi's lips.
They showed off their Martial Souls as soon as they arrived; it didn't seem like they had no ill intentions at all.
However, Ning Fengzhi also breathed a sigh of relief.
There was still a chance to talk.
He immediately bowed and gestured, inviting them to follow.
"Since you are here to discuss matters with me, please follow me to the back hall."
"Certainly."
Qian Daoliu nodded calmly.
With such a clear advantage, he would be utterly useless if he couldn't negotiate successfully.
Ning Fengzhi entrusted Ning Rongrong to Bone Douluo.
He then entered the back hall with Sword Douluo.
Qian Daoliu, followed by the others, entered one after another and took their seats.
Soon, Bone Douluo returned to the back hall.
and Sword Douluo flanked Ning Fengzhi.
The scene of Bone Douluo exchanging glances and nodding with Ning Fengzhi upon entering the room naturally didn't escape Qian Daoliu's notice.
It's likely that just now Bone Douluo had already arranged for people to be ready to escape at any moment, preserving the sect's legacy.
This effect was exactly what Qian Daoliu wanted.
To make Ning Fengzhi take it seriously.
Qian Daoliu didn't intend to stay long, and spoke directly, "Sect Master Ning, I'll be frank. I'm here to facilitate an alliance between our two sects."
"An alliance?"
Ning Fengzhi frowned, his expression somewhat strained.
Such a disparity in power.
It was hard not to think that Qian Daoliu intended to make the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect a vassal of the Martial Soul Hall.
Yet, he seemed to lack the strength to refuse.
Harboring a sliver of hope, he inquired, "May I ask, Your Excellency, what is the best way to establish a good relationship?"
"Simple."
A smile played on Qian Daoliu's golden eyes. "To ensure a stable relationship, the most effective method is naturally marriage."
"Marriage?!"
Ning Fengzhi's voice was filled with astonishment.
My mind was buzzing.
Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo both thought of Ning Rongrong.
Why now?
Why did they have to come at a time when Rongrong had only just awakened her Martial Soul?
If it wasn't premeditated, it was a hell of a coincidence.
If they could think of it, so could Ning Fengzhi, of course.
He said with difficulty, "Your Excellency, I wonder who the Martial Soul Hall wants to marry into my sect?"
"Heh, naturally our Saint Son, Qian Renjue!"
Guangling Douluo couldn't help but laugh.
As expected!
Ning Fengzhi's face was even more bitter.
He only had one daughter, Rongrong. Who should inherit the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect? It was already obvious.
Sword Douluo clenched his fists, and Bone Douluo's expression was heavy.
They hadn't even had this little cotton-padded jacket for a few years, and she was already being coveted.
"..."
The atmosphere fell silent.
Ning Fengzhi lowered his head, struggling.
On one side was his daughter, on the other his sect. Both were precious to him. "Fengzhi, you are the Sect Master."
"No matter what you decide, we will support you."
Sword Douluo's lips moved.
Using the skill of voice transmission, he only spoke to him.
"Sect Master Ning, we have come with sincerity."
Qian Daoliu knew.
In this situation, Ning Fengzhi had no choice but to agree.
But if he was unwilling, he would inevitably harbor ulterior motives later.
With a wave of his hand, a jade box floated out.
I wish you all a happy life!
