Chapter 99 Ning Rongrong's Recent Situation
Chen Xin knelt on the scorched earth, and couldn't help but laugh at the absurdity of his words. He shook his head, pondered for a moment, and then disappeared in an instant.
In the back garden of the Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace in Heavenly Dou City, Ning Fengzhi took out the letter in his hand as he looked at Xue Qinghe sitting quietly indoors. He was in a very good mood. This was because Crown Prince Xue Qinghe treated him with great respect. Although Emperor Xue Ye was still healthy and would not abdicate so early, it did not affect his status as the Crown Prince's tutor. When he became emperor in the future, he would naturally be the Heavenly Dou National Preceptor. Then the status of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, the national protection sect, would surely rise accordingly. It might even flourish during his generation as the sect leader.
On the other hand, it was because of the letter in his hand, which was delivered by his beloved daughter Ning Rongrong through someone. The contents of the letter were very ordinary, nothing more than his daily interactions with his classmates and information about Xiao Yan.
In the letter, Ning Rongrong indicated that Xiao Yan didn't seem to treat her with the usual awe and distance one would show towards someone as the sect leader's daughter. Instead, he treated her like an ordinary person, which made Ning Rongrong feel less awkward. She also taught Xiao Yan and the other two the techniques of Fusion Rings and Distraction Technique as instructed. However, the girl named Xiao Wu didn't seem very interested in studying; instead, she often dragged Xiao Wu and Zhu Qing shopping in Tian Dou City.
Ning Rongrong thought to herself that Xiao Yan was not so easy to win over, because he seemed to lack nothing. Ning Fengzhi nodded in agreement. He could provide the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School with so many defensive weapons, but he didn't want money or any promises from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. He had originally planned to approach him as the sect leader of the Glazed Tile School to gain his favor, but now, Xiao Yan had done him a favor instead.
While the concepts of "Fusion Ring" and "Distraction Technique" are rare, they are not uncommon in Douluo Continent. However, the crossbow provided by Xiao Yan is unique. Moreover, the boy named Tang San specifically instructed him not to disassemble it for research, but he stubbornly sought out a craftsman to disassemble it, immediately destroying one of the crossbows.
Ning Fengzhi continued reading, and Ning Rongrong concluded that if she befriended Xiao Wu, perhaps after becoming sisters with Zhu Qing and Xiao Wu, the two of them could become a great help to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, or even become members of the school. As for Tang San, perhaps he could also join the school because of Xiao Wu's involvement.
Seeing this, Ning Fengzhi was somewhat pleased. Although Ning Rongrong had returned to the sect in tears and kept calling out "Uncle Jian" and "Uncle Gu" for killing that kid surnamed Dai, her personality had become much more stable afterward. Although she still seemed to have some lingering trauma whenever the topic came up, most of the time, his daughter's thoughts were no longer so self-centered, and she was always considering the sect's interests.
Isn't this letter the best explanation?
However, Ning Rongrong's next words still had a discouraging tone. Whether Tang San and Xiao Wu could be recruited into the sect depended entirely on Xiao Yan's decision.
Ning Fengzhi wasn't discouraged. He nodded. Xiao Yan wasn't someone so easy to win over, so he had already focused his attention on Tang San and the little girl accompanying them. However, Tang San's mind seemed to be entirely on Xiao Wu. Right now, he could compromise his daughter and try to recruit Xiao Yan as his son-in-law, making him a vice sect leader. But judging from his stature, he was taller than Yu Tianheng, so he should be a year or two younger than Yu Tianheng.
A Soul Master who's not even twenty years old, tsk tsk tsk.
Just then, Ning Fengzhi suddenly heard a peculiar sound of wind. His eyes narrowed, and he turned and walked into Xue Qinghe's bedroom.
Seeing the door wide open, he didn't go in, but politely knocked on the door.
Xue Qinghe put down her book, looked up, and smiled, "Teacher, is there something you need?"
The Heavenly Dou Royal Family did not make many demands on Sect Master Ning. He was only required to accompany Xue Qinghe as a mentor. Therefore, at this time every day, Xue Qinghe was alone, doing his own thing. He was not annoyed when Ning Fengzhi suddenly disturbed him.
"Your Highness, Sword Douluo has returned from Notting City." Ning Fengzhi bowed slightly and said unhurriedly. However, he thought that given the relationship between His Highness and Master Yan Xiao, the Crown Prince must be very anxious right now. Ever since Xiao Yan mentioned that there was a way to make the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda break through, Ning Fengzhi had been adhering to the attitude of "better safe than sorry" and asked Uncle Jian to protect Xiao Yan in secret when there was nothing to do. However, Xiao Yan usually studied at the Heaven Dou Academy and did not need Sword Douluo that much, so he had already gone to Notting City. In addition to the overt protection, he was also very curious about what kind of ability this Master Yan Xiao had to make the Glazed Tile Pagoda martial soul undergo a qualitative change. After all, his disciple said that he could change the Glazed Tile Pagoda, so his master must also be able to do so.
So when the bad news about Master Yanxiao came from Notting City a few days ago, Ning Fengzhi comforted His Highness the Crown Prince immediately. The person who rescued Master Yanxiao from the sea of fire was none other than Sword Douluo Chen Xin.
"Oh?" Xue Qinghe's expression didn't change much. After all, although he and Xiao Yan hadn't openly confronted each other, they were both tacitly aware of each other's intentions. He naturally remembered the old man he had met once before and valued him highly, but he wasn't that worried. Compared to worrying about the injured Yan Xiao, he was more concerned about Xiao Yan. However, with three Soul Douluo-level instructors at Tiandou Academy, he figured Xiao Yan wouldn't be in any serious trouble.
"Then, teacher, please come with me to greet Senior Sword Douluo." Xue Qinghe stood up and walked towards the door.
When the two arrived at the outer perimeter of the palace, they saw Chen Xin standing alone outside. He stood with his hands behind his back, neither greeting the guards at the gate nor making things difficult for them to enter the palace. He was neither in a hurry nor annoyed, but simply waited quietly.
"Uncle Jian, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting." Ning Fengzhi stepped forward and greeted him. The commotion he had just heard in the back garden was naturally caused by Chen Xin. The reason why Chen Xin did not show himself rashly was because this place was, after all, the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace, and he should have the proper respect. He could not lose his composure. If he, as a Title Douluo, were to barge into the palace without an invitation, it would be somewhat inappropriate.
Sword Douluo smiled and shook his head: "I only caught a glimpse of my precious Rongrong on the way here before rushing over here."
He then bowed to Xue Qinghe, who was walking leisurely behind Ning Fengzhi. Xue Qinghe looked at this Title Douluo of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School with respect in his eyes. He never expected to meet him under such circumstances.
The three of them then entered the Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace at a leisurely pace.
