Ning Fengzhi's Silence

"By the way, Xiao Yuan, what's your decision regarding the cooperation with the Heaven Dou Imperial Family? The Spirit Hall is too powerful right now. Only by uniting can we contend with the Spirit Hall. Although your Dragon King Hall is strong, it is still quite different from the Spirit Hall on its own. The Spirit Hall also has beings at the limit level."

"They probably have more than ten Titled Douluo, and their strength is terrifying. Moreover, the Spirit Hall is domineering and will kill and wipe out entire families at the drop of a hat. Your Dragon King Hall is now a target of their power. Even if you don't provoke them, they will still target you. Sooner or later you will have to face them."

"If we don't unite, it will be difficult for you to contend with the Spirit Hall on your own. But it will be different after cooperating with the Heaven Dou Imperial Family. With the entire Heaven Dou Empire as our backing, plus the alliance of our two major forces, we can be fearless even against the Spirit Hall."

Ning Fengzhi the subject and looked at Lu Yuan, speaking slowly.

"Uncle Ning, aren't you going a bit too far? Is the Spirit Hall really as bad as you make it out to be?" Hearing Ning Fengzhi's words, Lu Yuan couldn't help but shake his head and laugh.

"Alas, Xiao Yuan, you don't know, but every year quite a few geniuses die at the hands of the Spirit Hall, simply because they refuse to join. Moreover, many Spirit Hall members bully men and women, and seize things by trickery and force. These things are all too common." Ning Fengzhi sighed softly, his tone Sisi with regret.

"Hehe!" Upon hearing Ning Fengzhi's words, Lu Yuan couldn't help but chuckle, his laughter tinged with sarcasm.

"Xiao Yuan, why are you laughing?" Ning Fengzhi asked, somewhat puzzled.

"I was just laughing at what you said, Uncle Ning. You said the Spirit Hall hunts down geniuses and bullies men and women. Haven't the nobles and sects of the Empire done these things before? They've only gone even further than the Spirit Hall."

"In my opinion, these people are even more despicable than the Spirit Hall. At least the Spirit Hall helps commoner Soul Master Martial Soul Awakening and provides subsidies, giving commoners a way to get ahead. They have made a considerable contribution."

"But what about the nobles of the empire? They only know how to exploit the common people. They are nothing but a bunch of parasites sucking the blood and sweat of the common people. No matter how much the Spirit Hall is, these people are even more despicable than the Spirit Hall. How many common people die every year because of the coercion of the nobles of the two great empires?"

"How many people are separated from their families and even killed every year because of them?"

"Uncle Ning, you're not telling me you know nothing about these things, are you?"

Lu Yuan said with a cold smile.

"This!" Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi fell silent for a moment. He couldn't refute it at all, because what Lu Yuan said was the truth. This was the current state of the nobility, and he had seen these things many times before.

"Father, are the nobles of the empire really as despicable as Xiao Yuan said?" Ning Rongrong raised her head and looked at Ning Fengzhi, her eyes Sisi with disbelief.

Having grown up from a young age, she had heard Ning Fengzhi say more than once how domineering and Evil God the Spirit Hall was, but she never expected that the sects and nobles of the empire would be even more despicable than the Spirit Hall, which made her somewhat unable to believe it for a moment.

"This is only a small part; not all nobles are like this." Ning Fengzhi's eyes flickered slightly as he spoke softly to his daughter.

"Uncle Ning, are you sure it's only a small part, and not the majority?" Lu Yuan's calm voice rang out.

"Xiao Yuan, do you despise nobles so much? Don't forget, you are a nobleman too." Seeing Lu Yuan relentlessly pursuing him, Ning Fengzhi couldn't help but say.

"Heh, Uncle Ning, this has nothing to do with whether I am a nobleman or not, and I am not hostile to the two great empires. What I want to say is, Uncle Ning, when you are trying to persuade me, please don't talk about how Evil God the Spirit Hall or anything like that. That will only make me laugh."

"Whether they hunt down geniuses or not has nothing to do with me, and I won't care in the slightest, as long as they don't mess with me."

"I care more about my own interests, which is the eternal theme between forces. You should persuade me to start from this point, rather than talking about how Evil God others are. Those may fool children, but you can't play that game with me."

Lu Yuan said calmly.

"You brat!" Hearing Lu Yuan's words, Ning Fengzhi couldn't help but shake his head helplessly. He never thought that he would have this day, being lectured to the point of being speechless by a teenager. Sigh, this kid is really mature beyond his years. It seems that he underestimated him.

"As for the cooperation, Xiao Yuan, do you have any other thoughts? You can tell Uncle Ning, and Uncle Ning will pass them on for you." Having been pointed out by Lu Yuan, Ning Fengzhi stopped talking about those empty words and went straight to the point.

"Hehe." Hearing Ning Fengzhi's words, Lu Yuan chuckled. "Uncle Ning, it's useless to say anything more now. You can't make the decision on this matter. Let's talk about it in person with that old man Xue Ye."

"So you've agreed to the cooperation?" Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi's face lit up with a delighted smile. If the Dragon King Hall really did unite with the Heaven Dou Imperial Family, their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, as a mutual ally, would certainly reap considerable benefits, which made him extremely happy.

"Whether he agrees or not is still uncertain. It depends on the old man's sincerity. If he wants the support of our Dragon King Hall, he has to offer some benefits. I won't do anything without benefits."

Lu Yuan smiled slightly and said.

"Of course, I don't think the Emperor would be stingy with that," Ning Fengzhi continued.

"Heh, I hope so. I have quite an appetite!" Lu Yuan said casually.

"Hehe, don't worry, Xiao Yuan, I know the Great Emperor. He's very sincere about cooperating with the Dragon King Hall. I think his example will definitely satisfy you," Ning Fengzhi said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan shrugged, neither confirming nor denying.

"Alright, let's leave it at that. Uncle Ning, let me take you to the warehouse to see the Soul Tool, and you can take them back with you."

Lu Yuan stood up and said.

"Alright, I'm also very interested in these new Soul Tool you've made. I wonder if you've designed any new Soul Tool?" Seeing Lu Yuan invite him to see the Soul Tool, Ning Fengzhi readily agreed, stood up, and said with a smile.

"There are one or two new items, which are quite practical. Uncle Ning, you can take a look and give them your opinion," Lu Yuan said with a slight smile.

"That's great!" Ning Fengzhi's eyes lit up upon hearing this.
