The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Little Witch Ning Rongrong

Sword Douluo Chen Xin walked at the very front, his pace steady and powerful.

Ye Qingzhou followed behind Ye Shuyuan, his gaze calmly and unobtrusively surveying his surroundings.

Under Chen Xin's lead, Ye Qingzhou and the others passed through one small hall after another, finally coming to a halt before a magnificent grand hall.

Looking at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect main hall before him, Chen Xin raised his head and spoke slowly, "We have arrived."

Ye Qingzhou, Ye Shuyuan, Luo Feng, and Dugu Bo did not make a sound, waiting instead for Chen Xin's next move.

Chen Xin stepped forward and pushed open the heavy doors of the hall.

As the doors swung wide, Chen Xin led Ye Qingzhou and the others inside.

Ye Qingzhou looked up, noting that the furnishings within were luxurious without appearing gaudy.

The tables and chairs were made of golden nanmu, the floor tiles shimmered with a golden luster, and the nine glazed palace lanterns hanging from the dome were each worth a king's ransom.

In the center of the hall, a massive round table was laden with all manner of delicacies, enough to whet anyone's appetite at a single glance.

At the very head of the hall stood three seats.

One in the middle, one on the left, and one on the right.

Each seat was engraved with the name of its occupant, and both the middle and right seats were currently occupied.

The inscription in the center read: "Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect Master Ning Fengzhi."

Ning Fengzhi sat in his chair; he appeared to be in his fifties, with a scholarly face and a gentle smile at the corners of his mouth, exuding an air that made one feel as though they were bathed in a spring breeze.

To the left was "Sword Douluo Chen Xin," and to the right was "Bone Douluo Gu Rong."

Aside from those two, there were two other figures seated on either side of the round table.

Yu Luomian of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

Sitting opposite Yu Luomian was a girl about Ye Qingzhou's age, her legs swinging back and forth as she sat.

She was Ning Rongrong, the daughter Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect Master Ning Fengzhi had only managed to have after siring over a dozen sons.

Hearing the sound of the great doors opening, Ning Rongrong's bright, spirited eyes turned toward the entrance.

She curiously sized up Ye Qingzhou as he walked in alongside her Sword Grandpa.

After observing him for only a few seconds, she curled her lip in disdain and shifted her gaze away from Ye Qingzhou.

Ye Qingzhou paid her no mind, choosing instead to ignore Ning Rongrong entirely.

Seeing Ye Shuyuan and Dugu Bo arrive, Yu Luomian stood up to greet them:

"Medical Saint, Poison Crown, I have long admired your great names. This Humble One is Yu Luomian of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan; it is truly a blessing of three lifetimes to meet you both today."

He had, after all, told Yu Yuanzhen about the situation regarding Liu Erlong.

Yu Yuanzhen's response was that he should resolve the trouble his illegitimate daughter had caused himself, though he could utilize his own connections—namely, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, second among the Upper Three Sects—to assist.

After exchanging some intelligence useful to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Ning Fengzhi had agreed to do him this favor.

He had specifically used the form of a banquet to invite these two Titled Douluo.

As for whether he would succeed, it would depend entirely on his own efforts.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect could only do this much for him.

Even with the two powerhouses Sword Douluo Chen Xin and Bone Douluo Gu Rong guarding the sect, they dared not easily offend a Titled Douluo.

And these two Titled Douluo happened to be Ye Shuyuan and Dugu Bo.

Watching the obsequious Yu Luomian, how could Ye Shuyuan not see through his little scheme?

"Mr. Yu is too kind. I have long heard that the soul masters of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan possess a dragon's pride."

"Truly, hearing a hundred times is not as good as seeing once; we old fellows caught a glimpse of that just a few days ago."

Yu Luomian's smile stiffened. What was he implying? It was hard to guess. He waved his hand and said:

"Not at all, not at all. A dragon's pride is not worth mentioning; in the end, one must let their strength do the talking."

The atmosphere in the room grew awkward following the exchange between Yu Luomian and Ye Shuyuan.

Ning Rongrong, sitting in her chair, could not care less about the adults' conversation.

If her old father hadn't forced her to stay today, she would have long since run off to have fun with her underlings within the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

She reached out, picked up a grape near her, peeled it, and popped it into her mouth.

Ning Fengzhi left his seat and walked between Ye Shuyuan and Yu Luomian, smiling to smooth things over:

"Medical Saint, Poison Crown, it has been a long time indeed; I have missed you both dearly."

His gaze rested on Ye Qingzhou, who was looking around, and he said, "This must be Mr. Ye's grandson, Ye Qingzhou, right?"

"He is truly as legendary as they say; with such poise, he will surely achieve great things in the future."

Luo Feng, standing behind Ye Qingzhou, inadvertently smacked him on the head.

Ye Qingzhou clutched his head, rubbed it, glared at Luo Feng, and greeted Ning Fengzhi:

"Sect Master Ning is too kind. This junior, Ye Qingzhou, greets Sect Master Ning."

"The personality is quite good as well." Ning Fengzhi turned his head to look at Ning Rongrong, who was sitting in her seat eating grapes. "That is my daughter, Ning Rongrong. Rongrong, come over and greet them quickly."

Hearing her father's call, Ning Rongrong swallowed the last grape and came before Ye Shuyuan and the others, performing the exclusive etiquette used by the direct line of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect for receiving guests.

Her gaze swept over Ye Shuyuan and the others, her tone soft and polite:

"Your Excellency Medical Saint, Your Excellency Poison, and also..."

The moment she looked at Luo Feng, Ning Rongrong was slightly stunned.

She had never seen this person before, neither by title nor by appearance.

Following Ning Rongrong's gaze, Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo Chen Xin, Bone Douluo Gu Rong, and Yu Luomian finally noticed the fourth person who should not have been here.

Luo Feng smiled and replied, "Luo Feng. Just call me Luo Feng; I am Ye Qingzhou's father."

Upon learning Luo Feng's identity, the doubts of Ning Rongrong and the others vanished.

After the greetings were finished, Ning Fengzhi arranged for Ye Qingzhou and the others to take their seats in turn.

Ning Fengzhi sat at the head of the round table.

Chen Xin and Gu Rong sat to the left and right of Chen Xin, respectively.

Ye Shuyuan and Luo Feng sat behind Chen Xin, while Dugu Bo and Yu Luomian sat behind Gu Rong.

As for the two children, Ye Qingzhou and Ning Rongrong, they sat at the very end, intentionally placed together by Ning Fengzhi.

Sitting at the head of the table, Ning Fengzhi said with a smile, "Come, come, let's eat first. If we don't eat, these dishes will get cold."

"We can discuss any business in detail after we've had a few rounds of drinks."

Hearing this, Ye Shuyuan and the others took up their chopsticks one after another once Ning Fengzhi had started.

While eating, Ye Qingzhou used his peripheral vision to observe the reactions of everyone present.

Yu Luomian appeared to be focused on his meal, but in reality, his eyes were carefully glancing toward the positions of Ye Shuyuan and Luo Feng.

Except for Yu Luomian, the others were truly just eating.

As for Ning Rongrong beside him, she acted just like a child.

No need to pay her any mind.

Glancing at Ye Qingzhou, Ning Rongrong let out a soft huff.

It seems this guy isn't much after all; he's far inferior to the others.

If it weren't for the status of being a Title Douluo's grandson, how could he have ever entered their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?
