Night Reconnaissance of Seven Treasures! Ning Fengzhi: You don't want to go back to being a slave, do you?
Night.
Ozka and Feng Xiaodi suppressed their soul power fluctuations, donned night-traveling gear, and infiltrated the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect as if entering an empty courtyard.
"The terrain within the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is complex; finding the fox-eared girl will be somewhat difficult."
"How about we grab someone and force them to tell us?"
"Grab who? Are you sure a common sect disciple would know where their Sect Master Ning Yuzhi... no! Ning Fengzhi, would arrange for the fox-eared girl to stay?"
"Hmm... that makes sense. Sigh, let's just keep looking." Ozka sighed.
Feng Xiaodi whispered, "Ozka, we don't necessarily have to rescue the fox-eared girl this time; as long as we can confirm she is living well in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, that will be enough."
"Alright, let's go look over there."
Unknowingly, the two arrived at the main assembly hall of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
"Don't get close! I sense many people inside."
"Oh, let's change locations. It's obvious that place couldn't possibly be where the fox-eared girl resides."
"Fine, let's go check over there; that should be the residential area for the sect disciples."
Just like that, the two wandered through the sect disciple residential area for half an hour, yet they failed to find the fox-eared girl.
"Who's there!"
Bang!
Just as the two were letting their guard down, a disciple who had gotten up in the night to relieve himself collided head-on with Feng Xiaodi and his companion, only to be knocked unconscious by a palm strike from Feng Xiaodi before he could even finish his sentence.
Ozka suggested, "Why don't we just ask someone? If we keep searching like this, it'll be dawn soon! The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is quite large."
"Fair enough."
They dragged the person into a woodshed and splashed a ladle of water over him to wake him up.
"Who are you people? Let me tell you, this is the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect! Don't you dare mess around!" The Seven Treasure disciple was somewhat panicked.
Feng Xiaodi smiled wickedly, "Relax, we aren't here to kill. Just tell me where the fox-eared girl your Sect Master bought today is being kept, and that will be all."
"The fox-eared girl?"
In an instant, a strange expression appeared on the Seven Treasure disciple's face, thinking to himself: Pah! A lecherous scoundrel!
Smack!
Ozka slapped the back of the Seven Treasure disciple's head and barked, "Stop thinking about those messy things! Otherwise, I'll end you!"
"Don't, don't, don't!" The Seven Treasure disciple immediately snapped back to reality; his life was still in their hands, after all.
"Speak! Where is she?"
"In our Sect Master's residence!"
"Where is your Sect Master's residence?"
"About a kilometer in that direction, then take a left and you'll see the Sect Master's residence—the most magnificent one."
Ozka twisted his wrists and grinned wickedly, "Very good! If we find out you've lied to us, we'll come back to take your life!"
"I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare."
With a bang, the Seven Treasure disciple was knocked unconscious once again.
Immediately, the two sped off toward the residence of Ning Fengzhi.
Halfway there, Feng Xiaodi suddenly paused and hurriedly asked, "Ozka, tell me... how would a common disciple know that the fox-eared girl is at Ning Fengzhi's residence?"
"This..."
Ozka pondered for a moment and said in a low voice, "I suspect he wanted to trick us into going to Ning Fengzhi's residence, trying to lure us deep into a dangerous trap! He wants to use the hands of the two Title Douluo to kill us! This is the level of awareness a qualified sect disciple should have when facing a powerful enemy!"
"Uh... what you said actually makes a lot of sense. It's a pity he didn't know that the two of us are terrifyingly strong!" Feng Xiaodi was convinced by Ozka's analysis; after all, luring invading enemies to the sect's strongest combatants was logical and flawless!
On the way.
The two passed by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's main assembly hall and discovered it was already empty; clearly, everyone had withdrawn.
Soon.
Ozka and Feng Xiaodi easily found Ning Fengzhi's residence, which was indeed the most magnificent building: a grand villa.
"Shh! There are hidden guards over there! Don't act rashly!"
"Understood. You go knock out the hidden guards first."
"Uh... fine. Who told me I have higher strength? If I don't do it, who will?" Feng Xiaodi gave a bitter smile and went off to do the work.
A moment later, the five hidden guards were neutralized.
Feng Xiaodi and Ozka climbed onto the second floor of the villa together and searched room by room.
"Huh? Such a big house and there are only a few people here; what a waste!"
Feng Xiaodi said, "My family's villa is just as big, but there are over a dozen of us from four generations living together."
"Heh, you capitalist decadents!" Ozka muttered with a hint of jealousy.
"Hehe~ stop being so sour. The light is on in the room ahead, that must be it."
The two approached the room and, sure enough, saw the fox-eared woman from the auction earlier that day.
Ozka said in surprise, "Huh? She's actually here! That sect disciple wasn't lying to us!"
"Shh~ don't act rashly! Ning Fengzhi has gone inside!"
Inside the room, the fox-eared woman looked toward the door with trepidation. Ning Fengzhi was dressed in a silk nightgown, his temperament extraordinary and his demeanor elegant! His chest was slightly exposed, and he was still damp from a bath.
Thump~
The fox-eared woman slid to her knees on the floor, pleading, "Lord Soul Master, please, let me go! I will surely cherish your kindness every single day!"
Ning Fengzhi helped the fox-eared woman up and said with a kind smile, "Do you know why I bought you at the auction?"
The fox-eared woman shook her head nervously.
Ning Fengzhi smiled and explained, "I have seen many slaves similar to you; their misfortunes were all caused by martial soul mutations! But they have already lost their souls, and saving them is meaningless! You, however, still have a soul! You still have your own personality! So, since I have encountered you, how could I not extend a helping hand?"
Hearing this, the fox-eared woman was deeply moved, and her eyes instantly welled up with tears.
"Thank you! Thank you! You are a good person!"
Ning Fengzhi smiled, helped the fox-eared woman sit on the edge of the bed, and sighed, "Sigh~ such is the way of the world, and I have only done what I could! From now on, you shall live well in our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. I can guarantee that you will never have to worry about food or clothing again!"
"Thank you! Wuu~ wuu~" The fox-eared woman sobbed with excitement, tears streaming down her face.
Ning Fengzhi wiped away the fox-eared woman's tears and smiled, "Don't cry, the good days are still ahead. As long as you become my woman, I, Ning Fengzhi, will be your support from now on!"
"Ah?"
The fox-eared woman froze. She was a slave who had been trained, after all! How could she not understand what "becoming his woman" meant?
She blinked her teary eyes blankly, looking at Ning Fengzhi with an innocent expression.
Ning Fengzhi smiled, "Rest assured, I, Ning Fengzhi, will never treat you poorly, and this place is your best refuge! After all, if you were to leave the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, given your special status, there would surely be countless nobles wanting to capture you and take you back! You wouldn't want to go back to being a slave, would you?"
"I... I..." The fox-eared woman looked at Ning Fengzhi in terror. Her body began to tremble slightly, and her voice and pupils were quivering as well.
So, she hadn't been saved at all!
She had merely escaped the tiger's den only to fall into a wolf's lair!
