Ning Fengzhi wanted to pretend nothing was wrong, but there was a slight change in his voice.
Xue Qinghe glanced over Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin before finally setting her gaze on Tang San and Xiao Wu.
Tang San's Blue Silver Emperor bloodline had yet to awaken, so he looked rather unremarkable. Xue Qinghe could not understand why Ning Fengzhi cared so much about him.
Was it merely because Tang San had created a weapon that could kill without using Soul Power?
Clearly not.
There had to be something bigger at stake. Otherwise, Ning Fengzhi should not have rejected Sigewinne's suggestion just now.
That was why Xue Qinghe paid attention to Tang San and Xiao Wu. She felt that Ning Fengzhi's unusual behavior might have something to do with the two of them.
But on second thought, Xue Qinghe decided that it did not matter what it had to do with Ning Fengzhi, as long as it was not aimed at her.
So Xue Qinghe did not dwell on it. It was not her place to speak here anyway, so it was better to say less.
The more one said, the more likely one was to slip up.
Although Ning Fengzhi was her teacher, he was also the Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Heaven Dou Royal Family were allies only because of an exchange of interests. Even if Ning Fengzhi had genuinely taught her things, she still had to remain suspicious. Otherwise, she could never have reached her current position. How could she possibly lack even this much scheming?
Especially since she had taken Ning Fengzhi as her teacher under the identity of Xue Qinghe.
Meanwhile, seeing that Ning Fengzhi and the others were leaving, Wriothesley said nothing.
