Harmony

Ning Huan, however, was happy to see this happen.

Ning Tian was, after all, the most gifted disciple among all those in the current generation of the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect.

She also possessed the status of Young Sect Master.

As long as there was no conflict of interest, there was no harm in befriending her.

"In that case, let us be friends."

Having grasped the crux of the matter, Ning Huan nodded and agreed immediately.

The expression that had remained indifferent until now inadvertently softened a little.

But whether the golden-haired girl had misunderstood his intentions or done it on purpose, an unexpected form of address slipped right out of her mouth.

"Mm! Brother Ning Huan!"

Wu Feng: "!"

Ning Huan: "..."

Noticing the fleeting, mischievous smile at the corner of Ning Tian's mouth and glancing at the gritting-teeth Wu Feng, Ning Huan felt helpless.

It was because this girl's method of closing the distance was exactly the same as her father's!

She didn't even change the rhetoric, just the form of address.

Also, you could at least take a moment to look at your little friend beside you!

That look in her eyes is like she wants to eat me alive!

Fortunately, my strength is sufficient, and she is no match for me.

Otherwise, the moment you finished speaking, this crazy girl would have plastered Dragon Fire all over my face.

To delay even a second would be insincere to your feelings.

Undoubtedly, this unexpected development caught Ning Huan off guard.

If he let it be, he hated the various troubles that would inevitably follow.

Just like this little fire dragon before him, whose eyes were practically spitting flames.

However, if he refused on the spot, it would not only make him seem arrogant.

It would also easily alienate Ning Hao, causing a rift between them.

In the end, he would be the one most affected.

Moreover, no matter how smart Ning Tian was, she was still just a nine-year-old girl raised in a sheltered garden.

She was at the age where she was exploring the world and imitating the words and deeds of her parents.

So, the little schemes in her heart were likely learned from her father.

Unfortunately, she had only learned the form without understanding the essence, so it was ultimately lacking.

It wasn't worth bickering with her.

And so, having suffered a silent loss, Ning Huan had no choice but to point his finger at Ning Hao.

He pondered finding an opportunity to offer some suggestions to increase his workload.

It would save him from spending all day teaching his daughter schemes and calculations, stifling any youthful vitality she might have.

Thinking of this, Ning Huan gave an imperceptible nod.

He then looked back at Ning Tian, his tone softening for once.

"Back to the point, why aren't you two sleeping properly, and why have you come to me so early in the morning?"

However, the one who responded to him this time was not Ning Tian.

"Of course it's because my Young Sect Master is beautiful and kind-hearted!"

"She saw that your martial soul ability is special and is willing to give you the sect's secret techniques in advance!"

Following the voice, he saw Wu Feng standing beside Ning Tian with her arms crossed, staring at him indignantly.

"Hmph! So what if you're a bit strong and look a bit good? Why should you attract the Young Sect Master's attention the moment you arrive!"

"Sister Feng! What are you saying!"

Watching the two sisters bickering, Ning Huan subconsciously raised a hand to scratch his cheek.

I admit to being strong.

But this 'good-looking'...

Is that a word used to describe a man?

A height of one meter eighty, a reasonably handsome appearance.

And the Komugi-colored skin tanned from years of exercise without any skincare.

To be honest, if he were described as masculine or having a sense of security, Ning Huan would gladly accept it.

But as for the adjective 'good-looking'...

Either this girl had a problem with her eyes, or she had a peculiar hobby and a unique sense of aesthetics.

Suppressing the surprise in his heart, he recalled the sect secret technique Wu Feng had just mentioned.

Heart Separation Control, huh...

It's definitely useful, but I don't know to what extent.

Over the past six years, Ning Huan had not failed to consider summoning multiple spirits simultaneously.

After all, if he could only summon one at a time, what difference was there between him and an ordinary spirit master fighting in turn-based combat?

However, he was a self-taught practitioner who had never received any formal spirit master education.

His cultivation was absorbed through his spirits, and his physical fitness was honed based on the experiences of his past life.

As for combat techniques, he was completely clueless!

That he had been able to dominate until now was entirely due to raw stats rather than mechanics.

Under the suppression of spirit power ten times that of his peers, any spirit he summoned was something an ordinary spirit master could not contend with.

This resulted in him being completely unable to grasp the method of multitasking.

The fact that he could barely summon three spirits at once now was only because he remembered the "draw a circle with the left hand, a square with the right" practice method from the original work.

He had only managed to achieve it after painstaking practice.

Recalling the experience of his brain feeling like it was cramping and his limbs refusing to listen, Ning Huan subconsciously shivered, then said softly:

"I have also heard of the sect's Heart Separation Control."

The sudden voice finally made Ning Tian remember where she was.

Realizing her rudeness, she hurriedly pushed Wu Feng away and tidied her slightly messy short golden hair.

She regained her previous temperament as a young lady of a great house.

Immediately after, noticing that the person in front of her did not show any impatience or other such emotions, she glared fiercely at her sister.

I'll deal with you when we get back!

Wu Feng: "..."

I should be under the bed, not here...

On the other side, seeing the two separate, Ning Huan stopped waiting and voiced his doubts.

"If I understand correctly, the essence of Heart Separation Control is to improve a spirit master's control over their mental power and spirit power."

"And through this, increase the amplification ability of a Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda spirit master toward multiple spirit masters."

Ning Tian nodded gently upon hearing this and responded softly:

"That's right. If not for Heart Separation Control, the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda would not be called the number one auxiliary spirit."

That was true enough.

However, compared to those ordinary amplification spirit skills, Ning Huan preferred the eighth and ninth spirit skills of the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda.

One was a conceptual defensive spirit skill.

The other was a one-second invincibility frame spirit skill usable ten times a day.

If he could form a Contract with a Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda spirit master, and pair it with the Black Tortoise bloodline awakening...

The sense of security would be absolutely off the charts!

Numerous thoughts flashed through his mind one after another, and a not-yet-mature plan gradually took shape.

Since outsiders couldn't be trusted, I'll just cultivate a team of my own that I can summon.

Using sect resources to cultivate my own people.

Very reasonable!

As it happens, these two in front of me are very suitable!

"Brother Ning Huan? Are you alright?"

"Ah, I'm fine."

Seeing the genuine worry in Ning Tian's eyes, Ning Huan felt a weight lift from his heart as he came back to his senses.

He temporarily extinguished the thought of going to the Far North or the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well to take risks.

After all, he lacked the confidence; he knew of the treasure mountain but dared not enter...

"Let's go to the training ground. After learning Heart Separation Control, it will be a good time to understand the strength of you two."

"Okay!"

"Hmph! Meddlesome!"

Unlike the obedient and sensible Ning Tian, Wu Feng was purely a child in a rebellious phase.

Yet, although her tone was poor and her little face was filled with indignation, her movements did not hesitate in the slightest.

Sticking close behind Ning Tian, not missing a single step, Ning Huan and his companion could barely contain their amusement.

"What are you laughing at! This young lady is just afraid you'll bully the Young Master!"

"Right, right, right, you're the most formidable~"

"Ah! Young Master, he's using his seniority to bully the weak!"

Ning Tian smiled and said nothing.
