Upon hearing Ning Fengzhi's words, Ye Qiu's joy was quickly dispelled.
For a moment, he was stunned.
Somewhat uncertainly, he asked,
"Uncle Ning, did you just say that His Highness the Crown Prince was seriously injured?!"
"Yes, that's right!"
Ning Fengzhi nodded solemnly, then turned his back and continued walking into the house, his voice still ringing out.
"A few days ago, when Qinghe came out of the palace, he was assassinated. He was pierced by a hidden arrow and almost died!"
"What? Senior Brother Qinghe almost died?! Grandpa Bone, who did it?"
Ning Rongrong, who was immersed in the joy of becoming Ye Qiu's fiancée, was also shocked by this news and her mind cleared.
That was the Crown Prince of the Empire! Who had such audacity?!
Bone Douluo glanced at Ye Qiu.
"We were just talking about this. If you want to know anything else, let's sit down and talk it over!"
Without saying anything more, Jian and Gu followed Ning Fengzhi away.
Ye Qiu stood there, stunned.
He finally understood why the Qian Jun and Jiang Mo brothers had suddenly left Soto City for Tian Dou Imperial City!
It turned out that Qian Renxue had been assassinated!
"Xiao Qiu, what's wrong?"
Xiao Wu gently nudged him.
Ye Qiu then came to his senses.
He shook his head slightly: "Nothing, let's go inside first. I imagine you're tired of standing!"
"No, I'm not tired at all!"
Ning Rongrong took his arm, smiling brightly, showing no signs of fatigue.
Her eyes swept over
Zhu Zhuqing, who was also somewhat dazed for some reason. She
smiled teasingly.
"Zhuqing might really be tired, after all, it's such a heavy burden."
"Rongrong, I'm not tired at all, I'm used to it!"
Zhu Zhuqing snapped out of her daze, dodging her outstretched hand, and gave her a shy glare.
For some reason, Ning Rongrong always liked to tease her.
Was it just because she was so much better than Ning Rongrong?!
She glanced strangely at Ning Rongrong's already somewhat impressive figure.
She shared some of her blush with Ning Rongrong.
"Alright, let's hurry up and catch up!" Ye Qiu helplessly pinched Ning Rongrong in his arms, rolling his eyes and making a face in return.
The group returned to the hall and sat down.
"Rongrong, can you be a little more careful!" Ning Fengzhi, sitting in the main seat, had a dark face and tapped the floor with his cane.
Looking at his daughter who kept trying to squeeze into Ye Qiu's arms and sit on his lap, he was full of exasperation!
Although he had already agreed to their relationship, there was no need to be so blatant!
Under everyone's gaze, Ning Rongrong, who had successfully settled into her seat, felt like she was sitting on pins and needles. She had no choice but
to lower her head and sit down next to Xiao Wu.
"Uh, Uncle Ning, I wonder who assassinated His Highness the Crown Prince?"
Ye Qiu was also somewhat embarrassed, but he couldn't wait to ask the question that was on his mind.
Ning Fengzhi's expression softened, and he shook his head,
seemingly both nodding and shaking his head.
"I don't know exactly who it is, but I do have a suspect!"
"I wonder which faction Uncle Ning suspects?"
"I don't know!"
"Don't know?" Ye Qiu was almost completely baffled.
"Hmm! I don't know!" Ning Fengzhi nodded again, then continued,
"That person is named Xie Xue, and he was brought back by Xue Beng. The reason I suspect him is because of a coincidence!"
"The assassination attempt on Qinghe happened exactly the day before Xue Beng went out to hunt souls and returned!"
"Xie Xue? Brought back by Xue Beng!?" Ye Qiu was stunned.
This inexplicable change made him frown.
"But... Uncle Ning, this coincidence in timing doesn't seem enough for you to draw this conclusion, does it?"
"Of course not!" Ning Fengzhi nodded in deep agreement, giving him an appreciative look.
Then he stared at Ye Qiu seriously again.
"But what if this person's appearance could give Xue Beng, who originally had no chance in the competition for the throne, the ability to rival Qinghe?"
"What?!" Ye Qiu was shocked. How could one person possibly have such power!
"Could it be that the cultivation of that Evil Blood is very strong?"
"Kid, you guessed right, he is indeed very strong!" Sword Douluo's voice was solemn.
"After Xue Beng introduced him to Xue Ye, he immediately became an Imperial Worshipper! Feng Zhi and I also attended the banquet and met him!"
"I can tell you definitively that he is a genuine level 98 Title Douluo! Such cultivation... perhaps only I and Old Bones together can contend with him!"
"Level 98?!"
Ye Qiu was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth, and his mind suddenly became a little confused.
How come he had never heard of this Title Douluo?!
"Grandpa Sword, you're not joking, are you? Even with the boost that Dad gave you, you still can't beat that guy?"
Ning Rongrong looked at him in surprise, somewhat incredulous.
From childhood, she had always believed that her two grandfathers were among the strongest on the continent.
"Grandpa Sword, I'm not joking. What I just said included Feng Zhi!"
Sword Douluo sighed helplessly.
He had no choice but to be more explicit.
"Within level 95, the difference between Title Douluos might not be significant, but the gap becomes enormous above level 95!"
"Furthermore, breakthroughs after level 95 are incredibly difficult, requiring not only the accumulation of soul power but also comprehension!"
"A level 96 Title Douluo has 20% more soul power than a level 95 Title Douluo, a level 97 Title Douluo has 30% more! And so on. Just looking at soul power alone, you can see the difference!"
Zhu Zhuqing and the other girls listened quietly, as they didn't really know much about these things.
Now, hearing them sound quite novel and intriguing .
Even Bone Douluo couldn't help but say,
"Rongrong, your Sword Grandpa wasn't lying! This old bone of mine is also stuck at level ninety-five, and hasn't broken through for years!"
Of everyone present, Bone Douluo probably had the most authority to speak on this.
Although he had fought Sword Douluo his entire life, he had to admit that he was indeed inferior.
Hearing this, Sword Douluo chuckled and looked at Bone Douluo with a mocking expression.
"Heh, actually, your soul power is already sufficient; you just lack a bit of enlightenment. Who told you to be less focused than me? Otherwise, you would have broken through to level ninety-six long ago!"
"Hmph! You're only temporarily ahead," Bone Douluo sneered, unconvinced.
"Alright, you two, stop fighting again," Ning Fengzhi waved his hand helplessly, trying to calm them down.
"In short, that Evil Blood is indeed very powerful, and his origins are quite mysterious. I wonder if there are other unknown forces behind him!"
Ning Fengzhi rubbed his brow, feeling a bit of a headache.
Logically speaking, all the Title Douluo powerhouses on the continent should be recorded in the Spirit Hall.
The sudden appearance of such a person in the Heaven Dou Imperial City—what kind of changes will occur?
Seeing Ye Qiu still deep in thought, Ning Fengzhi didn't elaborate on the topic.
"Ye Qiu, remember to visit Qinghe later!"
"Yes, I will!"
Ye Qiu nodded numbly.
The inexplicable changes happening in this world had truly caught him off guard!
Based on the current analysis,
Qian Renxue's assassination attempt, even if not carried out by that Evil Blood Douluo, was still related to the forces behind him.
'Perhaps... Qian Renxue will know more about that Evil Blood!'
Ye Qiu thought to himself, keeping this in mind.
"Ahem." Ning Fengzhi suddenly coughed twice.
Ye Qiu looked at him in confusion, and the two remained silent.
"Uncle Ning, is there anything else?" Feeling a little flustered by his gaze, Ye Qiu tentatively asked.
*Knock knock!
* Ning Fengzhi frowned and tapped the armrest of his chair.
"What? Where's the betrothal gift you gave?"
"..." Ye Qiu's forehead creased with embarrassment as he looked at Ning Rongrong.
"Pfft... Hahaha!" Ning Rongrong burst out laughing at the comical scene.
Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing were also suppressing their laughter.
They hadn't expected the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to be so mercenary.
"Dad, why are you so loud! Didn't I just say Rongrong put it away for you?"
Ning Rongrong rolled her eyes at her father and quickly ran to his side. She
swept her little hand across the table.
A thick stack of papers, covered in drawings, appeared on it.
She proudly patted the drawings twice.
"Here you go, all the hidden weapons Ye Qiu just demonstrated are here: the Silent Sleeve Arrow, the Zhuge Crossbow, the Sand-Spitting Arrow, the Stomp Crossbow, the Boot-Shadow Flying Blade, the Tight-Back Flower-Patterned Crossbow, and the Flying Claw!"
"Girl, where was I being loud?" Ning Fengzhi sighed helplessly. His status in the family seemed to have declined somewhat.
Logically, as her future father-in-law, even if he was a little loud, wasn't that perfectly reasonable? He
sighed inwardly, thinking that daughters grow up and leave home.
He quickly picked up the blueprints to examine them.
Ning Rongrong giggled and took the opportunity to sit back in Ye Qiu's lap.
Sword and Bone Douluo had no time to pay attention to them.
They got up and walked to Ning Fengzhi's side, examining the blueprints closely.
"These little things are so exquisite!" Bone Douluo looked at the blueprints and nodded repeatedly.
"Yes, but with these blueprints, replicating them won't be difficult!"
Ning Fengzhi nodded happily.
The blueprints were precise down to every part and the materials used, all clearly stated.
Acquiring these hidden weapons was a pleasant surprise!
"Of course! These blueprints were all drawn by Ye Qiu stroke by stroke; it took him a lot of effort and time!"
Ning Rongrong leaned against Ye Qiu, ignoring his feelings, swinging her feet, her face flushed with laughter.
"I really don't know where you found these things!"
Sword Douluo put down what he was holding, looking at Ye Qiu with great curiosity.
Hearing this, Ye Qiu realized what was going on.
He needed to explain some precautions for using hidden weapons.
What if Tang San discovered them while they were using them, and then shouted about the three upper sects being of one mind?
Wouldn't that be extremely embarrassing?
Helplessly, he wrapped his arms around Ning Rongrong's waist and pulled her up a little.
His voice was somewhat serious.
"Uncle Ning, if these things are made, it's best not to use them in public!"
"Oh? Why is that?" Ning Fengzhi looked at him curiously.
He had already seen the blueprints; he could only say that Ye Qiu was very thoughtful.
The design of these hidden weapons actually shows a strong sense of copyright; if forcibly removed, they will automatically disintegrate.
Even if exposed, it wouldn't be easy for others to pirate them.
"Hmm,"
Ye Qiu pondered for
a moment. He didn't know how to explain it.
He wanted to show them Tang Hao's dropped right arm bone,
but without exposing Da Ming and the others, he couldn't find a suitable reason.
He couldn't very well say he found it, could he?
Logically speaking, given Tang San's personality, the leak of hidden weapon technology should have made him want to wipe out the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School as soon as possible.
But the world had already undergone unknown changes.
What if Ning Fengzhi got involved with him again? Wouldn't that be incredibly messed up?!
He made a quick decision.
To prevent such a thing from happening, Ye Qiu decided to tell the truth!
He wanted to completely eliminate any possibility of Ning Fengzhi and Tang San becoming friends!
He said in a deep voice, "That's because these hidden weapons have an unclear relationship with the Clear Sky Sect!"
"The Clear Sky Sect?!" Ning Fengzhi's heart skipped a beat, and his expression immediately changed.
"How could this be related to the Clear Sky Sect?"
As far as Ning Fengzhi knew, the Clear Sky Sect's forging was indeed superb, but Ning Fengzhi understood them.
These things called hidden weapons, so exquisite, how could they be something that those roughnecks could research?
"To be precise, it's related to Tang San, the son of the Clear Sky Douluo!"
Ye Qiu slowly said.
Ning Rongrong in his arms also understood the gravity of the matter and didn't move.
She listened quietly to Ye Qiu and the others.
"Tang Hao's son!?" Sword Douluo frowned at him.
Compared to Tang San, he was still very curious about Tang Hao's whereabouts.
"Boy, have you met Tang Hao?"
"Yes, and we have a grudge!" Ye Qiu nodded truthfully.
"Boy, what do you mean?!" Bone Douluo looked at Ye Qiu in surprise.
He couldn't understand how a mere Soul Master could have such a grudge against Tang Hao!
"Back when I was studying at a lower-level academy, I was almost killed by Tang Hao!"
"Right now, one of his right arm bones is still lying in my Divine Might Space, and his fate is unknown!"
Ye Qiu's two casual words stirred up a storm in the hearts of Ning Fengzhi and the other two.
"Tang Hao's right arm? Boy, you're not kidding, are you?" Sword Douluo looked at him with disbelief.
Although Tang Hao had only killed the previous Pope after becoming a Title Douluo, there was no other news about him.
But as one of the Haotian Twins, his strength was undeniable!
"Of course, I wouldn't use such a thing to amuse you!" A bloodthirsty light flashed in Ye Qiu's eyes, and a right arm bone immediately appeared in his hand.
Before he could say anything,
Ning Rongrong held the soul bone and stuffed it into Sword Douluo's hand.
"Grandpa Sword, look! What Ye Qiu said is all true! That Tang Hao is in a terrible state. He was tricked by Ye Qiu, lost an arm, and nobody knows where he is!"
After all, she had actually witnessed the battle in the illusion.
Ning Rongrong's words added a touch of truth to Ye Qiu's story.
Her words showed no respect whatsoever for the so-called Haotian Douluo.
To her, she was already Ye Qiu's fiancée, so of course she had to support him unconditionally!
Sword Douluo stared blankly at the soul bone in his hand. With his knowledge, he naturally knew
that the soul bone's age was no less than 60,000 years!
Ning Fengzhi and Bone Douluo immediately gathered around to examine the soul bone.
"It really is the Haotian Sect's inherited soul bone!" Ning Fengzhi's shocked voice rang out."Feng Zhi, you're not mistaken, are you?" Bone Douluo still couldn't quite believe it.
"No mistake! I attended the ceremony when Tang Hao became the young sect master before the Clear Sky Sect closed down, and this soul bone was bestowed upon him then!"
Ning Fengzhi examined it carefully; the soul bone was exactly as he remembered it!
"Boy, I wonder how you schemed against him? He's a Title Douluo."
Sword Douluo looked at Ye Qiu, feeling inexplicably uneasy about the test he had set earlier.
He glanced at Bone Douluo beside him,
feeling a little more at ease.
Even if Ye Qiu wanted to prove his strength, he should have picked on the weakest opponent.
Ning Fengzhi also frowned,
looking at Ye Qiu strangely.
Of course, he didn't believe that he alone could cut off Tang Hao's right arm.
He nodded, "To be honest, I'm a little curious too!"
"I just called two friends, used Tang San as bait, and ambushed him!"
Seeing that Ning Fengzhi still wanted to get to the bottom of things, Ye Qiu quickly added,
"However, I can't tell you much about those two friends, but Rongrong and the others have met them!"
"Yes, yes! Rongrong's third spirit ring was also thanks to their help!" Ning Rongrong nodded repeatedly.
Hearing this,
Ning Fengzhi and the two Douluo exchanged glances.
They couldn't help but re-examine Ye Qiu.
This kid seemed much more mysterious than they had imagined; there must be a force behind him that shouldn't be underestimated!
"Alright, then we won't force you! But I'm curious how you and that kid Tang Hao became enemies!"
Bone Douluo was still a little curious.
How did a Title Douluo become enemies with a kid from a junior spirit master academy?
"..."
Ye Qiu gave him a strange look.
Sword Douluo was right; Bone Douluo was indeed less focused than him and liked to listen to gossip.
Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo also perked up,
staring blankly at Ye Qiu.
What kind of deep-seated hatred could make a Title Douluo lower himself to kill a mere child?!
Ye Qiu's lips twitched. Fortunately, there wasn't anything he couldn't say.
He could just change the key parts.
"This matter is actually related to Xiao Wu,"
Ye Qiu's voice rang out leisurely, his gaze falling on Xiao Wu.
Meeting his gaze, her face flushed instantly.
Related to Xiao Wu?
Ning Fengzhi and the others looked at Xiao Wu; aside from her high talent and beauty, she seemed unremarkable.
Ignoring them, Ye Qiu recounted the whole story.
"Back then, Tang San, Xiao Wu, and I were all studying at Notting Academy, and we shared the same dormitory..."
At the same time, to make his words more believable,
Ye Qiu's pupil power expanded, and with everyone's cooperation, he subtly pulled them into an illusion,
showing them the day Tang Hao called them out.
"Damn it, this Tang Hao is so despicable, he's unworthy of the name Haotian!"
Sword Douluo was filled with righteous indignation after hearing the story.
Bone Douluo also sighed.
"This kid is truly shameless, rumors can't be believed entirely!"
"I had some respect for him," Ning Fengzhi shook his head.
"So that's how it is."
Zhu Zhuqing stared blankly at Ye Qiu. No wonder he appeared alone in the Star Dou Great Forest and asked her to protect Xiao Wu.
In Ye Qiu's story,
he concealed the fact that Xiao Wu was a 100,000-year-old soul beast in human form.
Such a story,
although it seemed a bit far-fetched, seemed to be the truth.
The cause of the matter was that Tang Hao killed a child in order to eliminate a rival for his son's love.
"Fengzhi, what do you think?"
Sword Douluo held the soul bone in his hand and looked at Ning Fengzhi.
He had heard Ning Fengzhi say a lot about being of the same ilk.
He wondered what choice he would make this time?
Haotian Sect? Or Ye Qiu!
"Hehe."
He looked at his daughter who was tightly hugging Ye Qiu.
Ning Fengzhi couldn't help but smile bitterly.
The hope and future of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School had already been given away.
What else could he do?
He slowly straightened his back and said with a smile,
"Of course, it depends on Rongrong's choice. In the end, the future is still up to the young people!"
"Thank you, Dad! Of course, I choose my future husband!"
Ning Rongrong beamed and hugged Ye Qiu, giving him a few kisses.
She wasn't worried about these things.
She had blind confidence in Ye Qiu.
She believed he would handle it well!
"Hey Fengzhi, this isn't like you at all! But I do support this decision!"
The Sword Douluo revealed the sharpness of the Seven Kill Sword.
The Clear Sky School was no longer the top of the three upper sects it once was.
What was there to fear!
"Since that's the case, then I'll go kill that brat Tang San now! If Tang Hao dares to show his face, I'll send them all down with him!"
The Bone Douluo was no pushover.
He had little regard for the concept of "fellowship and kinship." Given the original course of events, he had also considered eliminating Tang San for the sake of the sect's status.
"Uncle Bone, no! We should handle this more cautiously!"
Ning Fengzhi called out to Bone Douluo.
He understood the power of a Title Douluo and was thinking more deeply.
Their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was a large and powerful family; if Tang Hao was truly alive, they would be in serious trouble.
It would be better to find a suitable opportunity to 'accidentally' reveal Tang San's identity!
Even if those hidden weapons can't be exposed, they'd be quite useful as the sect's last line of defense!
"Uncle Ning, don't worry about Tang San, I'll take full responsibility!"
Ye Qiu knew very well that for a long time to come,
there wouldn't be any conflict between the two sects.
The Clear Sky Sect wouldn't dare to show its face!
This was probably one of the reasons Ning Fengzhi chose him without hesitation.
"Alright, you can take this soul bone back now!"
Ning Fengzhi nodded, took the soul bone from Sword Douluo, and handed it back to Ye Qiu.
Ye Qiu, however, raised his hand and pushed it back.
With a faint smile, he said, "Uncle Ning, you should keep this soul bone. After all, I'm the one who dragged the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School into this mess!"
"Consider it an extra bonus for Rongrong's betrothal!"
"This betrothal gift is quite substantial—a soul bone, hidden weapons, and immortal herbs. But since we're all family now, I won't stand on ceremony and accept it!"
Ning Fengzhi didn't refuse. With the appearance of the Evil Blood Douluo, he already felt the pressure of the continent not remaining peaceful for long.
This soul bone was of considerable age; perhaps it could give Sword Douluo an opportunity to break through to level ninety-seven.
Only by becoming stronger could the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School stand firm and embrace a brighter future!
"Sigh, your wealth is more than both of our Title Douluos combined!" Bone Douluo shook his head, having lived most of his life without even a soul bone.
Sword Douluo nodded in deep agreement.
(ps: I don't know why, but among the three upper sects, the Seven Treasures Sect, the wealthiest, is the one most lacking in soul bones. I've never even heard of inherited soul bones. Let's just pretend they don't exist here.)
"You two seniors are too kind. I was just lucky!"
Ye Qiu smiled.
He didn't think the betrothal gifts were excessive; Ning Rongrong's dowry was equivalent to the entire Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.
All he really gave was a single immortal herb.
"Alright, it's getting late!" Ning Fengzhi looked up at the sky outside.
It was only about an hour before dinnertime.
"You should take advantage of this time to visit Qinghe! By the time you return, it should be almost time to eat."
"Okay, I understand!" Ye Qiu replied.
He picked up Ning Rongrong and put her back on the stool.
He was also curious about how badly Qian Renxue was injured, since even the Qianjun and Jiangmo brothers rushed over here without stopping.
"Then, Uncle Ning, you two seniors! Ye Qiu will take his leave for now!"
"Go ahead!" Ning Fengzhi waved his hand.
Ye Qiu gave Xiao Wu and the other girls some instructions and then left without lingering.
He activated his divine power and disappeared from the hall.
"Alright, girls! It's not like we won't see each other again, it's just for a little while, no need to look so miserable!"
Ning Fengzhi shook his head and chuckled; the poison had indeed penetrated too deeply.
Ning Rongrong looked at him resentfully: "I was thinking...we didn't seem to have discussed when to get engaged!"
"Engaged?" Ning Fengzhi was speechless, giving a wry smile.
"It's not very convenient right now. Once the situation in Tian Dou Imperial City stabilizes, or when you're older, Dad will arrange it!"
"That's good!" Ning Rongrong happily jumped off her seat and went to Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing's side.
Knowing Xiao Wu's identity, she simply extended an invitation to them as well.
"Xiao Wu, Zhuqing, do you want to come along?"
"Ah? Rongrong, is it possible to come along?" Zhu Zhuqing looked at her shyly and shook her head in refusal.
She still wanted to resolve the Xingluo matter before considering such things.
Xiao Wu's eyes flashed with a hint of longing, but she also shook her head.
"No, this is Rongrong's own time!"
She understood the importance of this kind of thing for a girl.
"Hehe... Let's talk about these things later, or we can ask Ye Qiu's opinion!"
Ning Fengzhi unusually didn't consider the reputation of his sect.
This was also one way to win over Xiao Wu and the other girl.
"Yes, Dad is right!" Ning Rongrong nodded and didn't mention it again.
This matter definitely needed to be discussed with Ye Qiu, after all, he was the male lead!
"Uncle Jian, you can take this soul bone and absorb it!" Ning Fengzhi handed the soul bone in his hand to Sword Douluo.
This action also solidified his stance.
Once a soul bone is absorbed, it can only be cut off.
Even if the Clear Sky Sect discovers it one day, they won't be able to get it back!
"Okay!" Sword Douluo didn't refuse. In this sect, only he and Old Bone were qualified to absorb this soul bone.
Bone Douluo's main attributes were defense and space, so this soul bone was obviously more suitable for him.
With the power boost from this soul bone, even if he couldn't break through, the Seven Kill Sword's attack power would at least be much stronger.
Bone Douluo watched this scene, and Ning Rongrong noticed the envy flashing in his eyes.
"Grandpa Bone, don't be too envious! Rongrong will take good care of you in the future and give you a soul bone too! Haha!"
Ning Rongrong ran over and hugged him, letting out a clear laugh.
"Girl, I'm very happy that you have this thought!"
Bone Douluo patted her head approvingly, thinking she was just comforting him.
Little did he know that Ning Rongrong was very serious.
"Uncle Bone..."
Ning Fengzhi was about to say something when Bone Douluo waved his hand.
"Fengzhi, I know very well that this soul bone is not suitable for me!"
"It's good that you know, old bone. I can give you a few moves when we spar in the future!"
Sword Douluo had spent so much time with him and naturally knew he wouldn't hold a grudge.
Therefore, he spoke as bluntly as ever.
"Hmph! I'll have to put your skills to the test then! If you haven't improved, that'll be a laughing stock!" Bone Douluo sneered, glaring fiercely at Sword Douluo.
Ning Rongrong smiled at them, but didn't say anything.
She had to keep Ye Qiu's secret.
Ning Rongrong glanced at Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing, who were sitting somewhat uncomfortably to one side.
She didn't want to stay there any longer.
"Daddy, actually I have a little surprise for you!"
"Another surprise?" Ning Fengzhi's heart skipped a beat; he'd already had enough of that today.
"Yes, I met a food-type Soul Master with innate full Soul Power at Shrek Academy! He's agreed to join the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School!"
"A food-type Soul Master with innate full Soul Power? Rongrong, that's quite a surprise!"
Ning Fengzhi's lips twitched; even he'd never heard of a support-type Soul Master with innate full Soul Power.
"It's alright, compared to what Ye Qiu gave me, it's nothing special!" Ning Rongrong waved her hand dismissively, her face full of smugness.
Ning Fengzhi covered his head, unsure how to retort.
"Alright, that's all. If there's nothing else, I'll take Xiao Wu and the others around!"
"Go on, go on, treat them well!"
Ning Rongrong took Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing's hands, about to head outside.
But at the door, she stopped again.
Ning Rongrong turned around and looked at Ning Fengzhi with a puzzled expression.
"Dad, why didn't you ask Ye Qiu if he had any more Qiluo Tulips?"
Ning Fengzhi was taken aback for a moment, then smiled gently.
"Dad believes I still hold a place in your heart, right? My good daughter must have already asked for me!"
"Hehe, of course!" Ning Rongrong was overjoyed.
"Dad, don't be too discouraged. Ye Qiu said he would have other ways to help you!"
"Hmm!" Ning Fengzhi simply nodded slightly; he wasn't blindly trusting of Ye Qiu.
Ning Rongrong didn't say much more and led the two girls away from the hall.
Watching their departing figures,
Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo stared intently at Ning Fengzhi, as if they were about to force his hand.
"Uncle Sword, Uncle Bone, what are you doing?" Ning Fengzhi took a step back.
The two men grabbed his shoulders from either side.
Sword Douluo looked at him strangely.
"Feng Zhi, confess honestly, did you already know that Ye Qiu had the ability to evolve Rongrong's martial soul into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda?!"
