Seven Treasures and Blue Lightning's Calculations

Tang Wei's departure drew no one's attention because the Sect Masters of the other two sects who remained were both staring at Liu Erlong on the stage with burning eyes, as though they were looking at some priceless treasure.

Before Yu Yuanzhen could speak, Ning Jun beat him to it.

"Miss Liu Erlong, I wonder whether you would be interested in joining my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. As long as you nod, from this day forward, whatever resources you desire, so long as my Seven Treasures Sect can obtain them, I will grant them all."

"Sect Master Ning, that is going a bit too far. Judging from Erlong's features, she bears several traits of a descendant of my Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. She is clearly a member of my Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan."

Yu Yuanzhen spoke with utter conviction, as though he were merely stating what he had eaten today.

His face did not redden, nor did he so much as gasp.

"Sect Master Yu must be joking. As I recall, the might displayed by your Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's Dragon Transformation Secret Technique falls far short of Miss Liu's."

Ning Jun shook his head, treating Yu Yuanzhen's words as utter nonsense.

Sure enough, no one who could become a Sect Master had thin skin.

He had just been shocked by Liu Erlong's secret technique, yet in the next breath he could claim she was one of his own.

If that was the case, then why didn't he perform it himself?

People across the continent said Yu Yuanzhen of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was an upright man. He was clearly shrewd as hell.

And shameless too. For the sake of inheritance, he could say anything.

Seeing that the two sides could not agree, Yu Yuanzhen wanted to use force to suppress the matter, and his aura began to seep outward.

Even the surrounding air seemed to freeze for an instant.

Sensing Yu Yuanzhen's Soul Power, Sword Douluo stepped forward and shielded Ning Jun behind him.

Sharp sword aura and violent lightning clashed continuously in secret, but the lightning clearly held the upper hand over the sword aura.

Noticing this, Ning Jun slowly raised his right hand, and an exquisitely beautiful Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda appeared in his palm.

Seven Soul Rings rose from beneath his feet as he chanted softly, "Seven Treasures turn forth glazed light, fourth, Soul; fifth, Spirit."

In an instant, Sword Douluo's aura surged dramatically. Not only did he force the lightning back, he even faintly suppressed Yu Yuanzhen's lightning aura.

After a moment, neither side intending to truly fight, they slowly withdrew their auras.

Yu Yuanzhen and Ning Jun looked at each other for a moment, as though exchanging something silently.

In the end, Ning Jun spoke first. "The secret method goes to Sect Master Yu, and the person comes to me. What does Sect Master Yu think?"

Before Yu Yuanzhen could reply, he added, "Sect Master Yu, the longer we delay, the greater the chance that the Sect Master of the Clear Sky Sect will return. By then, things may not be so simple."

Watching the two openly decide Liu Erlong's fate right in front of him, Dugu Bo was practically about to explode with rage.

They were completely disregarding him. As anger rose in his heart, he repeatedly glanced at Wu Xian.

His gaze conveyed only one meaning: At a time like this, was his young friend still not in a hurry?

Not only was Wu Xian unhurried, but even Liu Erlong was not in a hurry.

Of course, not being in a hurry did not mean she was not angry.

She had already been greeting the ancestors of those two men in the Chat Group.

[Liu Erlong: Those two idiots, do they take me for merchandise? Wu Xian, make sure you hit them hard later. Best if it hurts them to the marrow.]

If her strength had been sufficient, she would have personally beaten the two of them until they could no longer take care of themselves.

[Bibi Dong: That's right. Beat those two bastards to death.]

[Xiao Wu: Hurry up and fight, fight! I want to see blood flow like a river.]

Ever since seeing her mother Ah Yin again, Xiao Wu had been constantly receiving Ah Yin's instruction.

She was taught not only etiquette, but also plenty of common knowledge.

To make up for the responsibility of herself from another world, Ah Yin intended to do her very best to compensate for Xiao Wu's lost childhood.

But for Xiao Wu, it was far from wonderful.

These past days had nearly driven her mad. Her daily schoolwork had never stopped.

Reuniting with her mother had originally been a good thing, so why had it become so painful?

Every day, she only had a little time to peek at the screen and find one of the few joys available in the Group Chat.

As for chatting idly in the group, that was impossible.

The last time she had merely sent a single message, her mother Ah Yin had immediately doubled her study assignments.

The reason was simple: if she had time to chat idly in the group, then she had time to study.

So when she accidentally sent that message, Xiao Wu knew she was doomed.

Sure enough, in the next moment, Ah Yin immediately rearranged her schedule.

[Ah Yin: Xiao Wu, it seems you have a little too much free time. Your assignments are doubled.]

Xiao Wu felt her heart stop. Was there no love left after all, Mom?

Seeing that things had already reached this point, she simply decided to go all out. Even if she were going to die in the next moment, she had to finish watching this livestream.

At the same time, the Sect Masters of the two sects, having made this decision, had long since prepared themselves to offend Dugu Bo.

They understood that with a Title Douluo's pride, he would absolutely never join their sects after suffering such humiliation.

There was no helping it. One could not have both fish and bear's paw.

Since they had chosen Liu Erlong and the secret method, they naturally had to pay a price.

The only reason they had decided to do this was that the benefits far outweighed the cost.

Of course, they still had to be wary of whether Dugu Bo would act, but Dugu Bo now had a grandson. He should not be foolish enough to do something so reckless.

Under pressure from the Clear Sky Sect, Yu Yuanzhen ultimately agreed to Ning Jun's proposal.

"Fine, but I have one more condition. You must produce two hundred million Gold Soul Coins as compensation."

Ning Jun shook his head and held up one hand. "At most fifty million."

"Deal." Yu Yuanzhen agreed immediately, afraid that if he spoke too slowly, Ning Jun would change his mind again.

Though he had misjudged Yu Yuanzhen's psychological price, Ning Jun was not upset.

After all, anything that could be settled with Gold Soul Coins was not really a problem at all.

Only after the two sides had finished negotiating did Liu Erlong on the stage finally speak. "You two brain-dead idiots, aren't you taking me a little too lightly?"

"Not at all, not at all. Miss Liu Erlong is so noble; we hold you dearly in our hearts. I hope Miss Liu Erlong will condescend to accompany me to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, so that I may properly entertain you."

"Forget it. I don't want to get close to someone as ill-intentioned as you. Has no one ever told you that your smile is fake?"

At those words, Ning Jun's expression stiffened. It had been a long time since anyone had cursed at him; this was the first time in decades.

He still maintained that token fake smile on his face. "Miss Liu Erlong is joking. I am a businessman and have always advocated harmony above all else, which is why I am unwilling to glare angrily at others."

After saying this much, he felt that if he continued, Tang Wei of the Clear Sky Sect might descend from the heavens at any moment.

To avoid further complications, he no longer concealed his intentions. "Miss Liu Erlong, please come with me to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. This Sect Master will certainly not neglect you."

"Heh." Liu Erlong sneered, speaking with some anger. "What if I say no?"

"Then I'm afraid it is not up to you."

"If it's not up to her, then what about me?"

Wu Xian's voice echoed through the empty hall, instantly drawing the attention of the two Sect Masters and Dugu Bo.
