“As Rongrong’s father, Fengzhi should have paid a visit long ago, but he has been too busy with worldly affairs to make the trip.”
"It was my rudeness that went unpunished."
"Sect Master Ning is too polite."
Su Xin cupped his hands in greeting to Ning Fengzhi. Then he nodded slightly to Chen Xin and Gu Rong behind him.
"Greetings, Sword Fighter Girl Senior, Bone Fighter Girl Senior."
"Don't dare to take it, don't take it!"
Before Ning Fengzhi could speak, Gu Douluo, who had a rather straightforward temper, quickly waved her hand and said.
"Although young friend Su is young, his strength... is already beyond that of this old bone of mine."
"If you continue to address us as seniors, how can we possibly accept that title?"
Although the sword-wielding loli beside her didn't say anything, she nodded in deep agreement.
Those sharp, sword-like eyes remained fixed on Su Xin the entire time, filled with fighting spirit!
He could sense that the young man before him was like a peerless demonic sword hidden in its sheath, its sharpness yet to be revealed.
But the restrained yet terrifying aura made him feel a slight chill!
The strong are always worthy of respect.
This is the eternal truth of the Soul Master world.
Seeing how highly the two titled Dou Luos praised Su Xin, Ning Fengzhi's smile deepened.
"Young friend Su, today happens to be the final of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament."
"This is also the most important moment for Slade Academy."
Ning Fengzhi then extended an invitation.
"His Majesty and we are preparing to go to the Heavenly Bean Arena to watch the ceremony."
"And Su Xiaoyou should take this opportunity to select suitable candidates for the 'gifted youth class'."
"Why don't we go together?"
"Okay, let's go take a look together."
Su Xin nodded.
I also wanted to support Rongrong and her team in their competition, and also recruit Shui Bing'er and the others.
So the group set off in a grand procession toward the Heavenly Bean Arena.
Emperor Blood Night and Marshal Goron rode in the most luxurious royal carriage, leading the way.
Su Xin, Ning Fengzhi, Jian Gu Dou Luo, and others followed behind at a leisurely pace.
Three thousand imperial guards lined up on both sides, clearing the entire street, creating an incredibly grand scene.
Walking down the street, Ning Fengzhi spotted an opportunity.
Taking advantage of the distance between them and the carriage ahead, he quietly approached Su Xin and whispered.
"Young friend Su, I actually have a question in my mind, but I don't know if I should ask it."
"Sect Leader Ning, please speak freely."
Ning Fengzhi took a deep breath, looked directly into Su Xin's eyes, and asked, word by word:
"I'd like to know, young friend Su... which side are you on?"
Seemingly afraid that Su Xin would misunderstand, he quickly added:
"Young friend Su, please rest assured, I asked this question with no ill intent. I simply wanted to state my position..."
"No matter which side you're on, young friend, my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is willing to stand by your side!"
Upon hearing this, Su Xin couldn't help but sigh inwardly:
He truly deserves to be called the only guy in the original work who is known for his brains.
The scene that Qian Renxue and I put on at the academy gate fooled everyone present.
But she couldn't fool Ning Fengzhi in front of her. He saw through her deception!
That insight and that mindset are truly remarkable.
But Su Xin's face remained calm and composed, and he began to evade the question with his words.
"Sect Leader Ning, what makes you say that? Are you not tempted enough by the conditions offered by your Martial Soul?"
Ning Fengzhi was not choked by Su Xin's words; instead, she smiled faintly.
"The situation on the mainland is currently turbulent, and it has long since reached the point where a storm is brewing."
"When the nest is overturned, how can the eggs remain intact? To seek only one's own good is to invite death."
"The reason why the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School has been able to stand tall on the continent for a thousand years is because of its ability to recognize people and identify treasures."
At this point, Ning Fengzhi's gaze hardened again, fixed intently on Su Xin.
"And your strength and methods, young friend, have made me clearly see a possibility..."
"That is, in the future, you will be the ultimate winner on the continent!"
"Rather than waiting until the future, when our Qibao Liuli Sect becomes an obstacle in your eyes."
"Why not become your strongest and most reliable ally now!"
Upon hearing the word "ally," Su Xin immediately showed a troubled expression.
"Sect Leader Ning, it's best if you don't get involved in my mess."
"As long as I have Rongrong's connection, no matter which side I'm on, the Qibao Glazed Tile School can remain uninvolved."
"Focus on being the richest sect on the mainland."
Ning Fengzhi was an extremely intelligent person, and she instantly understood the subtext in Su Xin's words.
He immediately forced a smile at Su Xin, then said nothing more and silently fell half a step behind.
"Feng Zhi, how is it?"
Gu Rong, the most hot-tempered of the bone-fighting lolis, immediately came over and asked in a low voice.
Ning Fengzhi gave a wry smile and shook her head.
"We...we were rejected."
"What?!" Bone Dorothy's voice suddenly rose several decibels, causing Marshal Goron in front to turn around and take a look.
He quickly lowered his voice, but the shock and resentment in his tone were impossible to hide.
"You got rejected? Are you kidding me!"
"Our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School took the initiative to show goodwill, and he dares to refuse? Has this kid got his head stuck in a door?!"
"Old man! Calm down."
Jian Dou Luo Chen Xin was much calmer. Looking at Ning Feng Zhi, she asked in a deep voice:
"What does he want?"
Ning Fengzhi sighed and said, "This boy's ambition... is far greater than we imagined."
"What he wants is not allies. What he wants is... submission!"
This time, even the usually composed Sword Fighter Girl couldn't help but frown.
"This kid was able to kill that old bastard Yu Yuanzhen with three strikes; his strength is indeed worth taking seriously!"
"But you're not qualified to make us submit."
Bone Fighter was so angry that she puffed out her beard and glared at him:
"Damn it! What a big mouth!"
"Make our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School submit to him? Who does he think he is? Has he become a god at level 100?"
"Even Tang Chen back then wouldn't dare to say such arrogant words!"
"I think this kid is just young and successful, and he doesn't know his own limitations!"
"Feng Zhi, don't worry about it. I'll find a chance to teach him a lesson."
"Let him know what it means to be outmatched."
As Bone Douluo spoke, she grew increasingly angry, and her soul power began to fluctuate uncontrollably.
Ning Fengzhi first gestured for them to calm down, and after pondering for a long time, she slowly spoke.
"This child is a dragon among men; we can only be friends, not enemies."
"But it won't be that easy for our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to submit so easily."
"Uncle Jian, Uncle Bone."
"Find an opportunity to test him."
"I'd like to see for myself just how much capital he has to be arrogant!"
"Great! I've been wanting to meet him for ages!" Upon hearing this, Bone Dorothy rubbed her hands together excitedly.
Sword Fighter Luo nodded, her eyes blazing with fighting spirit. As a swordsman, she longed to spar with a true powerhouse.
Su Xin is undoubtedly the most exciting opponent he has encountered in recent years.
"This matter is not urgent. We need to find a suitable opportunity, and we can't let him feel that we are deliberately provoking him," Ning Fengzhi instructed.
"Don't worry, Fengzhi, we know what we're doing."
The three reached an agreement and then fell silent.
He simply followed silently behind Su Xin and the Blood Night Emperor, continuing to walk forward.
Everyone has their own plans in mind.
Before long, the magnificent Heavenly Bean Arena appeared before everyone's eyes.
The Tian Dou Grand Soul Arena is the largest battleground for soul masters in Tian Dou City and even the entire Tian Dou Empire.
