Chapter 247: Ning Fengzhi in Dilemma, Sarath in Frustration
The moment he thought his Hidden Weapons might be ruined because of this, Ning Fengzhi wanted to speak up and plead for the Strength Clan, but just as Ning Fengzhi was about to speak,
he saw Sun Yu retrieve the Hidden Weapons manufacturing list he had previously given to Tai Tan from Tai Tan's person.
At the same time, he heard Sun Yu speak with a solemn tone.
"Hmph, I didn't expect the Strength Clan to privately forge special weapons. Are they trying to rebel?! Take Tai Tan back and interrogate him strictly. We absolutely cannot let such a dangerous element to the Empire continue to exist!"
"Yes!!!"
As Sun Yu's voice fell, the soldiers shouted.
"No, Sun Yu, you can't take my Supreme Pontiff's Token, no!!!"
On the other side, Yu Xiaogang, watching his Supreme Pontiff's Token being taken away, roared with hatred.
Although he desperately wanted to fight Sun Yu at this moment,
Liu Erlong was holding Yu Xiaogang back with all her might, which meant Yu Xiaogang couldn't break free from Liu Erlong's grasp.
And Saras, seeing his plan proceeding so smoothly, immediately spoke with excitement and elation.
"Someone, take the culprit Tang San away!!!"
"Yes!!!"
Following Saras's command, the already chaotic scene became even more chaotic.
Ning Fengzhi looked at the Spirit Hall members walking towards Tang San.
Then he looked at Tai Tan, who was currently being taken away.
At this moment, Ning Fengzhi felt for the first time what it meant to be stretched thin.
He wanted to save both sides, and he needed both sides.
But given the current situation, he seemed to only be able to choose one side to support.
After all, one side was the imperial family, and the other was Spirit Hall.
Even if his Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was the second largest Sect on the continent,
it would be impossible to simultaneously face pressure from both sides in such a hasty situation.
Finally, Ning Fengzhi, with a bitter expression, took a deep look at Sun Yu, then turned and walked towards Tang San with Sword Douluo.
If he really had to give one up, then he would choose the lesser of two evils.
The matter of Hidden Weapons could be dealt with later.
Tai Tan wasn't the only one who could make Hidden Weapons.
Although Tai Tan was one of the Divine Craftsmen of this era,
even without Tai Tan, the Star Luo Empire still had a Divine Craftsman.
It would be the same to ask him to make them.
At most, it would just cost a bit more money.
Their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was not short on money.
But Tang San was different.
Tang San represented not just Hidden Weapons, but also his father Tang Hao, his aunt Tang Yuehua, and could even implicate the entire Clear Sky Sect.
Therefore, Tang San's importance was self-evident.
On the other side, Saras, who was about to forcibly take Tang San away to claim his reward from His Holiness the Supreme Pontiff, saw Ning Fengzhi rushing towards him in a hurry.
His expression instantly changed slightly.
A bad premonition also arose in his heart.
And after Ning Fengzhi took out another Supreme Pontiff's Token and placed it in front of him,
Saras felt an urge to smash something.
No, I finally managed to get rid of Yu Xiaogang's Supreme Pontiff's Token.
Now you, Ning Fengzhi, are using a Supreme Pontiff's Token to deal with me.
Damn it, am I at odds with the Supreme Pontiff's Token or something?!
How can everyone use the Supreme Pontiff's Token against me?!
The Head of Spirit Hall, me, is really too pathetic....
"Ning Fengzhi, Tang San is Tang Hao's son. Are you sure you want to oppose our Spirit Hall to the end?!"
Saras looked at Ning Fengzhi with a suppressed expression, his voice low and cold.
"Saras, Tang San is already a member of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. If you want to capture him, I naturally can't just stand by and watch my son-in-law be captured!"
"What!? Tang San became your son-in-law?!"
Hearing Ning Fengzhi's words, everyone present was shocked.
Saras's expression became even darker and more somber.
With Ning Fengzhi's words, he truly had no options left.
The next moment, Saras even cast a pleading look at Sun Yu, who was watching the show.
He hoped Sun Yu could continue to cooperate with him.
However, regarding Saras's pleading gaze, Sun Yu acted as if he hadn't seen it and said,
"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, this is the weapon manual recovered from Tai Tan. Please take a look!"
Hearing Sun Yu say this, Saras almost cursed out loud.
Crown Prince Xue Qinghe had already seen this manual countless times just now, and you're still showing it to him now. At least pretend a little better!
In the end, Saras, once again helpless because of the Supreme Pontiff's Token, could only choose to turn and leave.
However, just as he was leaving, Saras seemed to remember something and immediately looked at Sun Yu with a shocked expression.
"This kid, he shouldn't be that smart...."
Muttering softly with a shocked expression, Saras quickly walked away.
Actually, it was no wonder Saras thought this.
After all, Sun Yu was the one who benefited the most from this operation.
Not only did he get the Supreme Pontiff's Token from Yu Xiaogang, but he also openly took away Tai Tan of the Strength Clan, with whom he had a grudge. It even seemed like he would deal with the entire Strength Clan later.
Compared to Sun Yu, who gained so much,
what about himself?!
He had contributed people and effort, yet he still ended up with nothing....
And when Sun Yu saw Saras leave, knowing that all the excitement was over, it was time for him to leave as well.
Then Sun Yu spoke to Ning Fengzhi.
"Congratulations, School Master Ning, on gaining a son-in-law! When Rongrong gets married, remember to send us an invitation. We will definitely prepare a generous gift! This junior still has urgent matters regarding the Strength Clan to attend to, so I will take my leave now....."
"Teacher, Qinghe also has matters to attend to, so I'll leave first..."
After speaking, Xue Qinghe left Shrek Academy with Sun Yu, Dugu Bo, and a group of guards.
They acted as if they hadn't noticed Tang San at all.
And Tang San's expression became extremely gloomy and unsightly as he watched Sun Yu's departing back.
He really wanted to tell Sun Yu to send Xiao Wu back, but even after Sun Yu had completely left,
he still didn't have the courage to speak.
Because he didn't know how to face Xiao Wu, now that he had a fiancée.
"School Master Ning, thank you for your help today. If it weren't for you, Little San might have been taken away by the Spirit Hall people!"
Unlike the somber expressions of the others present,
Yu Xiaogang was full of excitement and happiness.
After all, the most important thing was that Little San was fine.
As for Yu Xiaogang's praise,
Ning Fengzhi waved his hand indifferently.
After what had just happened, even the usually gentle Ning Fengzhi had become withdrawn.
The Strength Clan was ruined.
Not only could he not obtain his Hidden Weapons,
but the Hidden Weapons manual was also snatched away by Sun Yu and his group.
Not only did he directly lose millions of gold coins because of the Hidden Weapons, but he also offended Spirit Hall in advance to protect Tang San.
It was truly a case of losing both the wife and the army.
However, on second thought, Ning Fengzhi could still bear this loss. After all, the most important thing right now was that as long as Tang San was fine, everything would be okay.
As long as Tang San was there, he would have the capital to turn things around!
