Shall We Work Together?

"Teacher, what about the King Canglan's Mansion...?"

Xue Qinghe put down his Teacup and asked tentatively.

"Qinghe, you can rest assured."

"I will intervene if necessary."

Ning Fengzhi answered softly, his tone very calm.

Upon hearing this, Xue Qinghe smiled and let out a long sigh of relief.

"Teacher, I'm relieved to hear that."

"It's getting late, so I won't bother you any longer, Teacher. I'll head back to the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace now."

Xue Qinghe stood up, bowed to Ning Fengzhi, and then walked out of the Hall.

Watching Xue Qinghe's departing figure, Ning Fengzhi's gentle smile gradually disappeared, and a thoughtful look appeared in his calm eyes.

"Heh~"

A soft chuckle escaped Ning Fengzhi's lips.

Reaching out to pick up the Teacup beside him, Ning Fengzhi poured himself a cup of Clear Tea.

Savoring the Clear Tea in his hand, Ning Fengzhi's eyes gradually regained their calm.

He knew about Xue Qinghe's contact with the Clear Sky Sect, and he knew far more than Xue Qinghe had imagined.

After all, because of Tang Hao's death, the relationship between the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Clear Sky Sect is very strained. Therefore, Ning Fengzhi has been closely monitoring the situation of the Clear Sky Sect.

Xue Qinghe Ning Fengzhi viewed Xue Qinghe's contact with the Clear Sky Sect as a sign of distrust or dissatisfaction.

Xue Qinghe expressed dissatisfaction and distrust towards the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect for not intervening or expressing its stance for some time, and wondered whether the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would support him.

Ning Fengzhi sat in the main seat, quietly sipping his tea.

After a while.

Ning Fengzhi put down his Teacup, got up and walked out of the Hall, heading towards Ning Rongrong's room.

They arrived at Ning Rongrong's room.

Ning Fengzhi out and knocked on the door.

Soon, the room door opened, and Ning Rongrong appeared before Ning Fengzhi.

"Dad, what's wrong?"

Ning Rongrong yawned, looking like she hadn't woken up properly.

"Rongrong, pack your things, we're going to visit the King Canglan's Mansion."

Ning Fengzhi out and touched Ning Rongrong's hair.

"Visiting?"

Ning Rongrong looked puzzled. After glancing at the time, her confusion became even more pronounced.

It is already evening.

This time of day is not suitable for visiting other factions.

After thinking it over carefully, Ning Rongrong didn't ask any more questions. Instead, she went back to her room and did some simple dressing.

Not long after.

Ning Rongrong walked out of the room and followed Ning Fengzhi to where Chen Xin was.

After calling Chen Xin, the three of them left the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and headed towards the King Canglan's Mansion.

The King Canglan's Mansion.

Xue Luochuan stood up, picked up the Myriad Purple Thousand Red Poison from the ground, and put it into his Storage Soul Tool. He nodded firmly to Qian Renxue and Bai Wanwan before walking out of the King Canglan's Mansion.

Upon witnessing this scene...

Neither Qian Renxue nor Bai Wanwan intended to speak; they simply watched Xue Luochuan leave in silence.

After Xue Luochuan's figure disappeared from sight, Bai Wanwan got up from her seat, straddled Qian Renxue's lap, and rested her head on Qian Renxue's shoulder.

"Hmm~"

"Xue Luochuan has finally made a decision. I thought we were going to fail."

Bai Wanwan murmured softly.

"Success is inevitable."

"From the moment Xue Luochuan hesitated, he was bound to take this step sooner or later."

It's simply a matter of sooner or later.

Qian Renxue gently stroked Bai Wanwan's hair, her tone very calm.

But soon, Qian Renxue changed the subject. "However, I think doing this is still a little risky. If it fails, it might benefit someone else."

Upon hearing this, Bai Wanwan slowly raised her head, her eyes very serious.

"It won't fail."

"If any problems arise along the way, we'll just use the second plan; it'll just mean taking on some criticism."

Bai Wanwan's tone was very serious.

From the moment she took out the Myriad Purple Thousand Red Poison, Bai Wanwan had already devised two plans.

The first plan is for Xue Luochuan to poison Xue Ye, secretly manipulating the situation to achieve a mutually destructive outcome for both Xue Qinghe and Xue Luochuan. Then, they will be eliminated, and Xue Ke, who has been studying Court Etiquette but knows nothing about politics or military affairs, will be temporarily installed as the emperor, thus establishing a system where the emperor is in charge of those who Disloyal Subjects.

If the first option is implemented and problems arise along the way, then the second option will be adopted directly, and people will be called in to forcibly suppress the entire situation. The result of doing so will only be damage to our reputation.

But Bai Wanwan really didn't care much about reputation.

"Hmm~"

"During this period, we need to pay close attention to the situation in Heaven Dou City."

Qian Renxue nodded gently and reached out to pinch Bai Wanwan's cheek.

Bai Wanwan gave a muffled "hmm" and rested her head on Qian Renxue's shoulder again, her long, fair legs swaying gently in mid-air.

Qian Renxue stopped talking and instead held Bai Wanwan's waist tenderly.

Time passed slowly.

About half an hour.

Shi Nian, who was in charge of guarding the gate, came to the front of the Hall to report, "Young Lady, Sect Leader Ning of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has come to visit with his entourage."

Listening to the voice of Shi Nian.

Bai Wanwan immediately got off Qian Renxue, quickly tidied her clothes, and sat down in the main seat next to her.

"Please let them in."

Qian Renxue gently waved to Shi Nian standing at the door.

Not long after.

Footsteps were heard at the entrance to the Hall.

The figures of Ning Fengzhi, Ning Rongrong, Chen Xin, and others came into Bai Wanwan and Qian Renxue's view.

"I apologize for the intrusion and for disturbing your rest, Your Highness."

Ning Fengzhi smiled at Qian Renxue, Bai Wanwan, and the others in the main seat, and casually placed the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Tea in his hand on the table next to him.

"You're too kind Sect Leader Ning."

"I wonder if Sect Leader Ning has come here on some important matter?"

Bai Wanwan also smiled, but a hint of wariness flashed in her deep blue eyes.

After all, Ning Fengzhi is a cunning old fox.

The kind of cunning old fox who can easily fall into someone's trap, so being a little more cautious is never a bad thing.

"Of course there are."

"But it's nothing major, I mainly wanted to discuss a collaboration with you two."

Ning Fengzhi sat down in the Guest Seat to the side.

Ning Rongrong sat down next to Ning Fengzhi and raised her hand to greet Bai Wanwan.

Chen Xin stood behind Ning Fengzhi, closed her eyes, and meditated to rest.

"Cooperate?"

Bai Wanwan and Qian Renxue exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with even more wariness.

"Sect Leader Ning, what are you saying?"

Qian Renxue looked at Ning Fengzhi and asked him a question.
