Ning Fengzhi's Persuasion

"Old man?" Hearing Lu Yuan's words, even Ning Fengzhi, with his temperament, couldn't help but twitch his lips slightly. This kid must be the first to dare to call Xue Ye" old man" so openly.

However, after recalling Lu Yuan's actions at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Ning Fengzhi immediately felt relieved.

This kid didn't hesitate to kill a member of the royal family like Prince Xue Xing without any hesitation. If it weren't for Qinghe's plea and the offering of the Heaven Dou Empire's national treasure, the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, as compensation, Prince Xue Xing would probably not exist in this world anymore.

For a guy like that, it's perfectly normal for him to call Xue Ye" old man".

I thought that after a few years, this kid's attitude towards me had improved a lot, and I thought his personality had changed, but I didn't expect him to be the same as before.

He still held no reverence for the so-called imperial power. However, upon closer reflection, he realized that he was now the Hall Master of the Dragon King Hall, a super power. It was normal for him to have no reverence for imperial power. After all, without some courage, it would have been impossible to create a power like the Dragon King Hall.

Ning Fengzhi thought to himself.

"Uncle Ning, do you think it's inappropriate to call me 'old man'?" Hearing the slight surprise in Ning Fengzhi's tone, Lu Yuan couldn't help but ask.

Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi smiled wryly and said, "Xiao Yuan, after all, he is His Majesty the Emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire. Calling him an old man seems a bit inappropriate."

Although Ning Fengzhi had always known Lu Yuan's personality, he still found it a bit strange to hear Lu Yuan calling him "old man" repeatedly. After all, Xue Ye was an emperor; for him to keep calling him "old man" was a bit disrespectful.

"So what? Even if he's the emperor, it doesn't change the fact that he's an old man. If we don't call him an old man, are we supposed to call him a handsome guy?" Lu Yuan shrugged and said innocently.

"Pfft!" Hearing Lu Yuan's words, Ning Rongrong couldn't help but chuckle. Even Zhu Zhuqing always had a cool and aloof expression, couldn't help but smile slightly. This guy was really too good at making a scene.

"Ahem, you!" Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi was both amused and exasperated. This kid looked quite aloof, but his personality was completely different. Sometimes he was domineering and arrogant, while other times he was approachable and even had a bit of a sense of humor.

He's truly an enigma; no wonder Rongrong is so head over heels in love with him. This young man is truly extraordinary.

"Alright, alright, enough of this nonsense, let's get down to business." Instantly, Lu Yuan's expression turned serious again. He looked directly at Ning Fengzhi and asked, "Uncle Ning, do you think I should accept Xue Ye's offer to cooperate with the Heaven Dou Imperial Family?"

Seeing Lu Yuan become serious, Ning Fengzhi's expression also became solemn. He said, "From my personal perspective, I naturally hope that you will agree to cooperate with Xue Ye and the Heaven Dou Imperial Family. After all, our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has always supported the Heaven Dou Imperial Family. From our own interests, the stronger the Heaven Dou Imperial Family is, the greater the benefits will be for us."

"Your Dragon King Hall is now renowned and boasts super powerhouses like Dragon Emperor Douluo and Bright Phoenix Douluo. Your strength is formidable. If you cooperate with the Heaven Dou Imperial Family, the Heaven Dou Imperial Family's prestige will undoubtedly rise to a new level, and our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will naturally be able to gain even more by leveraging the Heaven Dou Imperial Family's prestige."

"Therefore, I will naturally do my best to facilitate your cooperation. In fact, I came here on behalf of the Emperor to persuade you to accept the Emperor's goodwill and reach a cooperation agreement."

After Ning Fengzhi finished speaking, he looked at Lu Yuan calmly.

"Hehe, Uncle Ning is quite frank. I haven't even asked you in detail yet, and you've already clearly stated your purpose for coming?" Hearing Ning Fengzhi's words, Lu Yuan smiled slightly and asked.

"I can't be dishonest, after all, you're so smart. Even if I don't say it, you've already guessed it. If I try to hide it, it will only make you unhappy. It's better to just say it openly. At least it will seem more honest." Hearing this, Ning Fengzhi gave a wry smile and said.

"Hehe, Uncle Ning seems to know me quite well." Lu Yuan smiled faintly, neither confirming nor denying Ning Fengzhi's words.

"From a personal perspective, Uncle Ning chose to push for our cooperation, but what about from another perspective?" Lu Yuan asked softly, looking at Ning Fengzhi.

"Furthermore, from the perspective of the stability of the entire continent, the Spirit Hall is now very powerful, controlling nearly 60% of the Soul Master in the world. Moreover, it has been making constant small moves in recent years, and I'm afraid it has some ulterior motives. The whole continent is about to be in turmoil."

"Moreover, news that came out a year ago indicated that even the once-famous Clear Sky Douluo had perished. Although the specific cause of his death is unknown, Clear Sky Douluo was incredibly powerful. The only one in the world capable of killing him is probably the Spirit Hall. Alas, the Spirit Hall is so powerful. If we don't unite, how can we contend with them in the future?"

Ning Fengzhi sighed softly and said.

"Uh..." Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan was taken aback, a strange look appearing on his face. He looked at Ning Fengzhi and asked softly, "Uncle Ning, didn't Rongrong tell you how Clear Sky Douluo died?"

"No, does Rongrong know the cause of Clear Sky Douluo's death?" Upon hearing Lu Yuan's words, Ning Fengzhi's face showed a hint of surprise, and his gaze couldn't help but turn to Ning Rongrong.

Under Ning Fengzhi's gaze, Ning Rongrong nodded slightly and said, "I wasn't really sure at first, but I heard Tang San say something about his father being killed by the Sky Azure Bull Python and wanting revenge when he was unconscious. That's how I found out."

"Then why didn't you tell Dad?" Ning Fengzhi couldn't help but ask.

"Dad, you didn't ask them, how would they know you wanted to know?" Hearing Ning Fengzhi's somewhat accusatory tone, Ning Rongrong couldn't help but pout, her voice carrying a hint of grievance.

Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi was momentarily speechless. Damn, this reason was truly powerful; he was utterly speechless.

"Xiao Yuan, can you tell your uncle the whole story?" Ning Fengzhi looked at Lu Yuan and asked softly. He was very interested in the cause of Tang Hao's death.

It was quite interesting that the mighty Clear Sky Douluo was killed by the Sky Azure Bull Python, and he was very curious about it.

"Of course, this matter begins with a little rabbit named Xiao Wu." Lu Yuan changed the subject and clearly explained the whole story.

"It was precisely because Tang Hao wanted to obtain the Soul Ring and Soul Bone of that Hundred-Thousand-Year Soft Bone Rabbit that he was ultimately killed by the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape. It can be considered that he deserved it."

Lu Yuan said calmly.
