"To think you could even pull off something like this, I really find you more and more unfathomable." Ning Fengzhi shook his head with a bitter smile and continued to ask, "There is one more question. If my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School were to lean towards the Spirit Empire, how would we conduct ourselves in the future?"
"As long as your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School does not interfere with the Spirit Empire's unification of the continent, and provides some necessary assistance, for the sake of Rongrong, things will remain exactly as they were," Xiao Se said indifferently.
"Many thanks." At this moment, Ning Fengzhi already had his answer. He immediately bowed respectfully to Xiao Se and said, "In that case, my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is willing to submit to the Spirit Empire."
"A wise choice." Xiao Se nodded with satisfaction. "Later, go to Spirit City and find my wife and children, and explain your purpose. They will know what to do. If they are busy and cannot meet you, you can speak to Hu Liena, the Disciple of Dong'er."
"I understand. But Qinghe—oh no, isn't your esteemed daughter in the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace? How did she end up in Spirit City?" Ning Fengzhi asked in confusion.
"The one in the Imperial Palace is not Xue'er, and she cannot even be considered a person. She is just a special Puppet that can transform into anyone," Xiao Se replied.
"No wonder. For the past two years, whenever I went to see Qinghe, I noticed she had changed slightly compared to before. She was like a machine without emotions. I originally thought she had changed because she had become the Emperor." Ning Fengzhi suddenly realized, glanced at Ning Rongrong, and bowed to Xiao Se once more.
"What are you doing now?" Seeing Ning Fengzhi remain silent, Xiao Se asked.
"I would like to implore you to take Rongrong as your Disciple. If Lord Xiao Se is willing to agree, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is willing to charge into battle for the Spirit Empire when they launch the war of unification, and we will immediately offer fifty percent of our wealth as war funds for the Spirit Empire. Perhaps you do not know what fifty percent of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's wealth represents. For example, the Heaven Dou Empire's annual treasury tax revenue is about one hundred million gold coins, and my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's liquid assets alone are more than four hundred times the Heaven Dou Empire's treasury income." Ning Fengzhi said respectfully.
"Uh." Xiao Se's mouth twitched. Should he say that this is worthy of being called the wealthiest Sect in the original work?
Over forty billion gold coins!
Damn, I, Xiao, seem to recall that in the finale of Battle Through the Heavens, Ya Fei auctioned off a Heaven Rank low-level Cultivation Technique for only three billion gold coins. The weight of the gold coins in Battle Through the Heavens and the gold coins in Douluo Continent shouldn't be too different. Doesn't that mean this old guy Ning Fengzhi has enough wealth to buy ten Heaven RankCultivation Techniques?
Tsk tsk, he really knows how to play. No wonder in the original work, he casually gave Tang San five million gold coins to buy Hidden Weapons without feeling a pinch, and would run to the auction house to buy cat-girls for no reason. With this much money, as long as he doesn't run into natural disasters or man-made catastrophes, he could never spend it all even if he wanted to.
However, thinking about it, in this so-called liquid capital, gold card values probably make up the majority. There shouldn't be that many actual gold coins.
As these thoughts raced through Xiao Se's mind, Ning Fengzhi, seeing Xiao Se delayed in responding, assumed the other party wanted to raise the price. Ning Fengzhi simply gritted his teeth and increased his offer again: "If that won't do, my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is willing to increase the offer again. Sixty percent—oh no, seventy percent. Any more and it will affect the normal operation of the Sect."
"Ahem." Xiao Se coughed lightly. "It's not a question of willingness, but that I have never taken on a Disciple before. And I don't have the time to teach."
"It's fine, it's fine. Even if it's just in name, it's okay, as long as she can follow Miss Zhuqing to Cultivate."
Nowadays, Xiao Se is Bibi Dong's man. Asking him to marry his daughter is obviously unrealistic, so Ning Fengzhi has given up on that. Becoming a Disciple is the only option to bring their relationship closer.
He has witnessed Zhu Zhuqing's growth. In just four short years, she went from a small Spirit Grandmaster to now easily crushing four Titled DouluoElders of the Clear Sky Sect. Although they were all below level 94, this is something that even Sword Douluo, with a spirit power of 96, could not do.
The most important thing is that Zhu Zhuqing didn't even use her Spirit. Doesn't that mean if his precious daughter receives help from Xiao Se, in time, she could grow into the first support systemSpirit Master in the history of the Douluo Continent to possess powerful offensive capabilities?
Xiao Se looked at the fair-faced Ning Rongrong, and sized her up from head to toe. Her figure is indeed quite good—bah! A support system is unprecedented in the Battle Through the Heavens World. If she grows up, she could provide huge assistance in future fights. Why not give it a try?
Considering this, Xiao Se transmitted his thoughts to Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Yi Xian, and then asked for their opinions: "Xian'er, Zhuqing, what do you think? Should I accept her or not?"
"Just accept her. If it's really as you said, and Ning Rongrong can provide buffs to a Dou Huang while at the Dou Ling stage, then she is worth cultivating. When the time comes, throw her into the Sea King Pavilion for training, and she should be able to grow up quickly. But the key still depends on you," Xiao Yi Xian replied. (PS: Here, refer to Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo; the former's Spirit Saint corresponds to Dou Ling, and the latter's Titled Douluo corresponds to Dou Huang.)
"Little Se, if you want to accept her, then do it. But I must remind you, be careful of 'disrespecting the master and destroying the ancestors' in the future," Zhu Zhuqing chuckled.
"Uh." Xiao Se's mouth twitched. If he had known, he wouldn't have taught the Little Cat those weird vocabularies. He immediately turned his gaze to Ning Rongrong and said sternly: "Rongrong, are you willing to take me as your master?"
"I..." At this moment, Ning Rongrong was about to cry. The only man she felt attracted to was asking her if she wanted to become his Disciple.
What a tragedy!
"Rongrong, hurry and agree." Standing on the side, Ning Fengzhi urged with an excited face.
As he spoke, he gave Sword Douluo a wink.
Sword Douluo was not stupid. He understood Ning Fengzhi's intentions. With Zhu Zhuqing as a prime example, if Ning Rongrong could become Xiao Se's Disciple, her future achievements would be absolutely limitless, rather than being stuck at a mere Spirit Saint due to Spirit limitations. He immediately advised: "Rongrong, hurry up and agree. With Xiao Se's ability, I believe there is no one in the whole World more suitable to be your teacher than him."
"This... fine." In utter helplessness, Ning Rongrong cupped her hands, knelt on one knee, and with an expression as if she were about to cry, respectfully performed the master-Disciple ceremony to Xiao Se: "DiscipleNing Rongrong, greets Teacher!"
"Ahem. I will accept this first bow, but our Sect is not bound by worldly conventions. In the future, you just need to call me Teacher; there is no need to perform ceremonies." Seeing Ning Rongrong's embarrassed state, Xiao Se tried hard to hold back his laughter. He took a jade box from the Wishful Hundred Treasure Purse at his waist and handed it to Ning Rongrong: "This is a gift from your teacher for accepting you as a Disciple."
"Many thanks, Teacher." Hearing that there was no need to perform ceremonies in the future and that there was a gift, Ning Rongrong felt happy. She stood up, took the jade box, and opened it to take a look. A flower full of spiritual energy came into view.
