The Entire Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, I'll Give It To You As a Dowry

"Huabin."

Ning Qiushui walked around the table to Dai Huabin, her tone extremely solemn.

What do you want?

"Sect Master Ning, please be patient and sit down to talk."

Ning Qiushui didn't sit down, but stood there and pressed, "No, tell me first, what price do you want? Anything the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect can afford, whatever it is..."

She paused for a moment, then suddenly smiled.

There was a strange sense of relief in that smile, as if he had suddenly figured something out.

"If you're willing to marry Xiaotian."

Ning Qiushui looked at Dai Huabin, her tone becoming soft and slow.

"The entire Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect is yours."

The room fell silent upon hearing this.

Ning Tian's face flushed red, all the way to the roots of her neck. She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but couldn't utter a single word.

Wu Feng's chopsticks fell to the ground with a "clatter".

Zhu Lu's hand, holding the teacup, froze in mid-air. She glanced at Dai Huabin, her expression calm.

Ice Empress clicked their tongue and muttered under their breath, "Not again."

Snow Empress didn't speak, but shook her head slightly.

Di Lingxi was munching on a pastry when she mumbled, "What does 'marry' mean?"

No one answered her.

Ning Tian finally found his voice. "Mother! What are you saying!"

Ning Qiushui turned to look at her daughter. "Did I misspoke? Don't you like him?"

Ning Tian: "..."

Wu Feng bent down to pick up the chopsticks, using this action to conceal her expression. Her hands were clenched tightly, her nails digging into her palms.

Ning Qiushui turned around and looked at Dai Huabin.

Dai Huabin leaned back in his chair, not responding immediately. He was thinking.

Ning Qiushui is a very shrewd person. Her decision to throw away the "marriage of her daughter" card may seem impulsive, but in reality, she has a very clever plan.

Dai Huabin was the eldest son of the White Tiger Duke Mansion, a descendant of a military family who held military power.

He himself is exceptionally talented among his peers. If they could make him their son-in- Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, the sect would not only gain the opportunity of the Aromatic Silk Beauty, but also a top-tier backer with unlimited potential.

Ning Qiushui is guaranteed to make a profit on this deal.

"Sect Master Ning," Dai Huabin began.

Ning Qiushui immediately became serious. "You speak."

"It's too early to talk about marriage now."

Dai Huabin's tone was very frank.

"Ning Tian and I have a cooperation agreement, and that relationship will not change. As for whether it will progress further in the future, that's a matter for the future."

He paused, then added, "But I won't go back on my word regarding the Aromatic Silk Beauty. When the time is right, I will take Ning Tian to retrieve them."

Ning Qiushui was taken aback.

She originally thought Dai Huabin would take the opportunity to offer a whole host of conditions, after all, the Aromatic Silk Beauty was extremely valuable.

However, the other party neither made exorbitant demands nor hinted at refusing the marriage proposal; they simply said it was "too early."

This answer satisfied Ning Qiushui more than any promise.

"Too early" means it's possible.

Ning Qiushui sat back down in her chair, a smile spreading across her face.

"Okay. No rush, no rush. You and Xiaotian are still young, you have a long life ahead of you."

Ning Tian's face had turned from red to a deep purplish-red. She wished she could disappear into a crack in the ground.

"Mother, could you please stop talking?"

"Alright, I won't say anymore." Ning Qiushui waved her hand with a smile, but her expression clearly showed that she had succeeded.

Wu Feng Fengmo placed the chopsticks she had picked up on the table, her heart heavy with sorrow. But she could say nothing, and do nothing. She could only watch.

Zhu Lu spoke up at this moment:

"Sect Master Ning, the situation surrounding Huabin is rather complicated, but he never mistreats his allies. I can vouch for that."

"If Ning Tian can become Huabin's wife in the future, I will treat her well."

Ning Qiushui looked at Zhu Lu with a more discerning eye. This young girl was quite young, but she spoke and acted with great tact, never vying for attention or attention, and always poised and generous. To be able to hold onto the position of Dai Huabin's legal wife was indeed no small feat.

"The Zhu Family's daughters are truly magnanimous," Ning Qiushui sincerely praised.

Zhu Lu bowed slightly, without saying anything more.

Ice Empress yawned beside them, looking sleepy.

Dai Huabin noticed this and stood up, saying:

"Let's call it a day. Everyone's tired after traveling for several days, so let's rest first. We can discuss the details tomorrow."

Ning Qiushui quickly stood up. "Yes, I've had guest rooms arranged. Xiao Tian, take them there."

Ning Tian stood up, not daring to look at Dai Huabin, and turned to walk out. "Come with me."

They walked very fast.

Dai Huabin followed, half a step behind her, and lowered his voice:

"Your mother is quite interesting."

Ning Tian paused, gritted his teeth, and whispered, "If you dare to make fun of me about this, I'll never forgive you."

"I'm not joking." Dai Huabin shrugged. "To be honest, your mother makes decisions very quickly; she's the kind of person who's capable of great things."

Ning Tian remained silent, the tips of his ears still red.

As Wu Feng walked behind, watching the two figures side by side, he suddenly felt that the wind in the back mountain of the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect was particularly cold tonight.

The guest rooms are located in a detached building in the backyard of the sect, in a quiet and secluded environment, and each room is equipped with a hot spring pool.

Ning Tian escorted the group into their respective rooms, finally standing at the door of Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu's room.

"Um..." Ning Tian hesitated for a moment, "How do you plan to talk to my mother tomorrow?"

Dai Huabin leaned against the door frame:

"Don't worry, I won't let your sect suffer any losses. I can indeed get my hands on the Aromatic Silk Beauty, but it might take a while. You should focus on increasing your Soul Power, at least until you reach your bottleneck."

Ning Tian nodded. "I understand."

She turned to leave, then stopped.

"Huabin."

"Um?"

"Thanks."

Dai Huabin raised an eyebrow. "Why are you thanking me again? I already thanked you when I gave you the Soul Bone last time."

Ning Tian shook his head. "They're different. Soul Bone enhance strength, Aromatic Silk Beauty changes fate."

She didn't say anything more, turned around and left.

Under the moonlight, the girl with short, silver-gray hair walked quickly, her back view showing a hint of panic.

Zhu Lu poked her head out of the room. "Come in, I've poured you some hot tea."

Dai Huabin withdrew his gaze and went into the room.

The moment the door closed, he suddenly remembered something.

The Aromatic Silk Beauty resides in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Youyou oversees that place. He didn't take it last time he went, because the timing wasn't right.

But now, the chips have been laid.

The Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect's financial resources, connections, and manpower, coupled with Ning Tian's potential as the continent's number one support...

Most importantly, Dai Huabin really wants to see Ning Tian replace Ning Rongrong as the new Goddess of Nine Colors in the future.

Zhu Lu handed over a cup of hot tea and casually asked:

"What did you think when Sect Master Ning said you should marry Ning Tian?"

Dai Huabin took the teacup and took a sip. "What do you think?"

Zhu Lu sat down opposite him, resting her chin on her hand as she looked at him. "Ning Tian is a good person, and his family background is also good. He's more than a match for you."
