After learning Clear Sky Sect's attitude, Xiao Chenlong prepared to leave Moonlight Pavilion.
"Your Highness the Holy Son..."
"Tang Yuehua, let me give you a piece of advice. Honestly remain the mistress of Moonlight Pavilion and completely cut off contact with Clear Sky Sect."
After saying that, Xiao Chenlong left Moonlight Pavilion, leaving Tang Yuehua alone on its top floor in sorrow.
How could she possibly completely cut off contact with Clear Sky Sect? Among those who came from Clear Sky Sect, which one was not a sect slave?
Because she did not possess the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul, Tang Yuehua had suffered discrimination within Clear Sky Sect. Yet she had still diligently earned money for the sect.
Even after Clear Sky Sect closed its Mountain Gate, she had become its sole source of income.
But even so, Tang Yuehua still had no status whatsoever within Clear Sky Sect.
Yet Tang Yuehua had willingly continued contributing to Clear Sky Sect. To put it bluntly, she was utterly pathetic.
Xiao Chenlong knew this clearly, so his earlier words had merely been spoken casually.
It was completely impossible for Tang Yuehua to break away from Clear Sky Sect.
After returning from Moonlight Pavilion to Spirit Hall, Xiao Chenlong had Little Monkey deliver the letter he had drafted long ago to Spirit City.
It was time for the old men of the Worship Hall to stretch their limbs.
Meanwhile, at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Dugu Bo also received a warm welcome from Ning Fengzhi.
Dugu Bo was delighted inside, grateful that he had made the right choice back then.
Otherwise, how could he possibly be receiving such treatment now?
"Sect Master Ning, I believe you already know why I am here, so there is no need to beat around the bush. His Highness the Holy Son wants an answer from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."
Ning Fengzhi sighed inwardly, thinking that what was meant to come would eventually come.
"Your Excellency Jade Phosphor, please tell His Highness the Saint Son that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will support his policies one hundred percent.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will also restrain all Spirit Masters and abide by the Spirit Master Management Rules. Please rest assured, Your Highness."
Hearing Ning Fengzhi's answer, Dugu Bo smiled and nodded.
"Sect Master Ning, you have made the right choice. I believe you will not regret today's decision in the future."
"I hope so. There are simply some matters I still wish to discuss with His Highness the Saint Son in person."
"That should not be a problem. If Sect Master Ning wishes, we can depart now. I can also return and report to His Highness the Holy Son."
"Very well. Then please wait a moment, Your Excellency Jade Phosphor."
Not long afterward, Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo brought Ning Rongrong with them and returned to Heaven Dou City with Dugu Bo.
However, Dugu Bo's gaze toward Ning Fengzhi carried a few more unusual undertones.
Xiao Chenlong was not surprised to see Dugu Bo bring Ning Fengzhi and the others over.
"Your Highness the Saint Son!"
"Sect Master Ning, it seems you have made your choice."
"Yes. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will firmly support every action taken by Your Highness the Saint Son."
"Mm, very good. Sect Master Ning is a smart man."
Xiao Chenlong then looked toward Ning Rongrong. He was somewhat surprised—why had Ning Fengzhi brought this little girl along?
Seeing Xiao Chenlong look at Ning Rongrong, Ning Fengzhi naturally pulled her over.
Ning Rongrong was still very afraid of Xiao Chenlong and did not even dare look at him.
"Your Highness the Saint Son, what do you think of Rongrong?"
"Ahem. Sect Master Ning, I understand your feelings, but isn't Rongrong a little too young?"
"Your Highness the Saint Son has misunderstood. I mean to have Rongrong take Your Highness as her teacher."
"Take me as her teacher? There is not much I can teach her, and she seems quite afraid of me."
"It is all right. I believe in Your Highness the Saint Son. This status is very important, and Rongrong has the greatest chance of evolving her Martial Soul into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda."
Once Ning Fengzhi said this, his meaning was perfectly clear.
Xiao Chenlong nodded as well.
"Very well, then. I will accept this disciple. Since she is my disciple, I will take charge of her cultivation from now on. Sect Master Ning has no objection to that, correct?"
"Of course. Rongrong, why have you not greeted your teacher yet?"
Only then did Ning Rongrong timidly walk over and bow to Xiao Chenlong.
"Rongrong greets Teacher!"
"Mm. I should have given you an apprenticeship gift, but you are still too young, so I will give it to you later.
You need not be afraid of me either. I treat my own people very well, provided they are truly my own people."
Ning Fengzhi knew that Xiao Chenlong's words were meant for him.
After exchanging a few words, Xiao Chenlong had Ning Rongrong go out to play, then turned his gaze back to Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo.
"Your Highness the Saint Son, is there anything else?"
"Mm. Clear Sky Sect has chosen to ignore my words, while I am still waiting for an answer from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
Before long, I will take action against Clear Sky Sect. I hope the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect can send either Sword Douluo or Bone Douluo to accompany us."
Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo were both somewhat surprised.
"Your Highness the Saint Son, is this not a little too soon..."
"No. Hesitation leads to greater trouble; one should act decisively.
What, Sect Master Ning, are you still planning to play both sides?"
"No, of course not. Please do not misunderstand, Your Highness the Saint Son."
Sword Douluo spoke at this point.
"Your Highness the Saint Son, then allow me to make the trip."
"Good. I will notify you when the time comes. The times are changing, and people and things that cannot keep up with the times will be eliminated. That is the law of this world."
Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo exchanged glances, both revealing bitter smiles.
Meanwhile, at the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Yu Luomian had brought back Xiao Chenlong's intentions. Yu Yuanzhen and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's other Elders all looked displeased.
They had been discussing this matter for some time, yet no consensus had been reached.
Some believed that this was simply Spirit Hall's ambition running wild, a bluff intended to intimidate them. In truth, Spirit Hall either lacked the ability or did not dare make a move against the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, one of the Upper Three Sects.
These people scoffed at the message Yu Luomian had brought back. Many even believed that Yu Luomian had already betrayed them and become Spirit Hall's running dog.
Yu Yuanzhen, the sect master, shared this thought as well, which greatly angered Yu Luomian.
These fools will sooner or later lead the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan into a dead end.
Yu Luomian argued his case on solid grounds, and several Elders stood on his side. That was why the argument had dragged on without end.
"Elder Brother, you are the sect master, so set the tone. But let me remind you of one thing: do not bury the entire Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan because of yourself alone."
Hearing Yu Luomian's words, Yu Yuanzhen snorted coldly.
"Hmph. It is not your place to teach me what I should do."
At that very moment, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo had arrived at the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
Yu Yuanzhen took the opportunity to pause the argument and went to meet Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo.
Yu Luomian merely sighed.
"Alas, Spirit Hall's people have come. There must be a result today. I do not know whether it will be a blessing or a disaster. Elder Brother, do not do anything foolish."
On Yu Yuanzhen's side, seeing Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo sitting calmly and composed in the reception hall, his expression did not look good.
"Two Elders, what brings you to my Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan today?"
