Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

After two days of travel, Gu Rong finally brought Chen Xin back to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Chen Xin still had not woken up, but his condition did not seem poor.

After all, he was merely depleted and had suffered no injuries.

Even so, it was enough to make Ning Fengzhi anxious.

The two Title Douluo were not only deeply connected to him emotionally, but were also the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's pillars, holding up the heavens and supporting the seas.

Nothing could go wrong with them.

Otherwise, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would be in danger.

As the sect master, Ning Fengzhi cared for them even more than he cared for himself.

He hurried outside, his face filled with anxiety.

When he saw Chen Xin lying on the bed, Ning Fengzhi began trembling uncontrollably in fear.

He was terrified that the worst possibility had come to pass.

He first impatiently checked Gu Rong's condition. After confirming that Gu Rong had indeed suffered no harm, he hurriedly began examining Chen Xin.

"Fengzhi, that old swordman is fine. He's only depleted."

Gu Rong spoke as Ning Fengzhi examined him.

"Uncle Gu, don't speak yet. Let me confirm Uncle Sword's condition first."

Ning Fengzhi rarely stopped them from speaking. This was the first time.

Gu Rong did not feel offended. Instead, he was somewhat moved.

Because whatever the reason, Ning Fengzhi truly cared about them.

After confirming that Chen Xin had no serious problems, Ning Fengzhi let out a sigh of relief, but he did not stop there.

Instead, he released his martial soul and soul skill, doing everything he could to replenish Chen Xin's depleted body.

Only when his Soul Power was nearly exhausted did he withdraw it. Then he instructed the people outside,

"Quickly bring all the precious herbs from the sect treasury and keep supplying them here. Once Elder Sword has fully recovered, reduce the supply as needed."

"Yes."

Naturally, such a matter could not be entrusted to Gu Rong.

After answering, the people outside left.

Only then did Ning Fengzhi look toward Gu Rong and ask,

"Uncle Gu, what exactly happened to the two of you in Suotuo City? Why was Uncle Sword's body depleted so severely?"

"Fengzhi, you needn't worry too much. That old swordman has encountered a stroke of good fortune."

"Although his body is indeed depleted, he was not injured. Most enviably, his Soul Power has broken through, and he may even be able to advance another step."

Ning Fengzhi frowned deeply, curious about what had happened to them.

"What exactly happened? Uncle Gu, tell me properly."

"Alright, I'll explain it all clearly."

Gu Rong began with when he encountered Ning Rongrong.

When he heard Ning Rongrong say that she had been poisoned, Ning Fengzhi's expression turned frighteningly grim.

Ning Rongrong was the next sect master he had chosen. She was extremely important to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and this matter had unquestionably touched his greatest taboo.

"Sect Master, please don't be angry yet. Rongrong is fine. This is absolutely a tremendous stroke of good fortune for her."

Ning Fengzhi was very intelligent and immediately realized something was wrong.

"Uncle Gu, are you saying Rongrong's master is not some fame-seeking fraud, but an extremely powerful soul master?"

"That's right. He truly is an extremely powerful soul master."

"After we found him, he used only a few leaves to block both of our soul skills. His words even gave that old swordman an insight, allowing him to break through to level 97."

"Afterward, that old swordman used the move he had comprehended, draining all his Soul Power to test the results of his domain. That is why he ended up like this."

"After that, he should have gained further insight. That is why I said he has stumbled upon tremendous fortune. I dream of having such an insight."

Hearing this, Ning Fengzhi let out a long breath, his face filled with delight.

Rongrong taking such a powerful expert as her master and Uncle Sword achieving such a breakthrough were absolutely tremendous joys for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

"Fengzhi, guess who took Rongrong as a disciple."

Gu Rong asked as though testing him.

This question was not difficult for Ning Fengzhi. As soon as he heard Gu Rong speak, he had already formed a guess.

"That senior is the legendary His Excellency the Arbiter, isn't he?"

"That's right, it is His Excellency the Arbiter. His current strength completely exceeds my imagination. That is simply not power a soul master should possess."

Ning Fengzhi suddenly thought of something.

"Uncle Gu, do you think His Excellency the Arbiter may have already become a god?"

"I don't know, but one thing is certain: becoming a god would never be a problem for him."

"A god? What kind of power does a god truly possess?"

Ning Fengzhi looked toward the distant sky and asked this question.

Suotuo City.

"That's right. So what if she saw it? Could she resist the pressure of her family and the empire?"

"No matter how much she opposed it, she would still ultimately marry me. That is her duty."

"So what if I indulged in wine and women? So what if she saw it? In the end, she would still be mine. Because she isn't strong enough, she would never be able to resist."

Tang San's words thoroughly opened up Dai Mubai's mind. He felt that his former self had fallen into a mental trap. Why had he cared so much about her opinion?

"That's right, exactly. You only need to marry her for an alliance. Her own thoughts are not important. You can do whatever you want."

Tang San affirmed what Dai Mubai had said.

Were women really that important? In this world, strength was more important than women.

"Hahahaha!!"

"That's right, that's right. So what if you refuse? Once you return here, I'd like to see what use your reasons will be."

Dai Mubai now wanted to see the scene where Zhu Zhuqing gave her reasons yet remained unable to resist.

So what if you are proud? So what if you are unwilling?

In the end, you can only endure it, unable to resist in the slightest.

It was not only Zhu Zhuqing. To Dai Mubai, was he himself not the same?

However, Dai Mubai could never have imagined that Zhu Zhuqing had already gained an opportunity to resist, while he could only remain a useless prince.

Who knew how he would react once he learned the truth?

In the courtyard, Xiao Wu stood blankly in place after hearing those words.

So this was what Third Brother truly thought?

Did he see her the same way?

Could everything they had experienced before have been false? Was there some other reason he had treated her so well?

She could not tell. Xiao Wu truly could not tell.

She could not tell whether the Tang San from before was real, or whether the Tang San now was real.

"What's wrong? Why are you standing here?"

"The person you've been looking for is outside, isn't he? Why aren't you going out? Isn't he right there?"

Lin Mian's figure appeared beside Xiao Wu at some unknown time.

In truth, Lin Mian had witnessed everything that had happened over the past two days, including Zhu Zhuqing being somewhat distracted today.

However, he had not spoken the entire time because he wanted to see how things would develop.

The only thing that surprised him somewhat was what Tang San had said, as well as Xiao Wu happening to hear those words.

It made him want to see what Xiao Wu truly thought.
