Ning Fengzhi's Humiliation, Gangzi's Utter Failure

The coming-of-age ceremony proceeded smoothly.

After Ye Lingshuang left, the waiters came forward and collected all the gifts from the guests.

However, Ning Fengzhi was secretly observing Ye Lingshuang, pondering how to approach her and facilitate cooperation once they went out.

Titled Douluo have extremely sharp senses and naturally noticed that someone was secretly observing him.

Upon seeing that the person was actually a respectable-looking fellow, Ye Lingshuang felt a sudden unease, unable to fathom what he was up to.

If it weren't for the inappropriateness of the current situation, she would have taken action on the spot.

Ning Fengzhi was completely unaware, still subtly observing her, until the powerful sect member beside him tugged at his sleeve, causing him to look away.

As Yu Yuanzhen placed small crowns on Yu Mingxiao and Yu Xiaogang, the two brothers bowed to thank their father, and the ceremony officially ended, symbolizing that the two had officially come of age.

The entire audience burst into applause, creating a lively atmosphere.

Yu Mingxiao thanked the guests and left first. Yu Xiaogang was stunned for a moment. He had originally planned to tell his father that he wanted to go to the Spirit Hall, but then he thought that it was not appropriate to leave here with so many people, so he also left.

Yu Yuanzhen thanked the guests who had come to witness the ceremony, and then everyone left the main hall one after another.

Ning Fengzhi quickly caught up with Ye Lingshuang, who was about to leave, and hurriedly called out, "Sect Master Ye, please wait."

"Who are you?" Ye Lingshuang had already noticed that this person had been secretly observing her, and her tone immediately turned cold.

Ning Fengzhi assumed she was aloof and quickly put on a smiling face, saying, "I am Ning Fengzhi, the younger brother of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect School's Sect Master. I am quite curious about the Soul Guidance Ray you gave to Sect Master Yu; I also enjoy such things."

Ye Lingshuang instantly understood his thoughts and immediately sneered, "Young Master Ning, you want to discuss cooperation with our Starry Sky Sect, don't you?"

Ning Fengzhi wasn't surprised that his thoughts had been exposed, and nodded frankly, saying, "That's right. I wonder if your sect can manufacture this type of Soul Guidance Ray? Not only that, we are interested in all kinds of combat-related Soul Tool."

"Our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect School has extensive connections and abundant resources. If the opportunity arises, our two schools could exchange resources and cooperate for mutual benefit and win-win results."

He was very confident in his proposal.

In his view, the Starry Sky Sect was just a newly established small sect, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's willingness to cooperate with it was an honor for the other party. No one in the world would refuse such a benefit.

Ye Lingshuang shook her head and said calmly, "I'm sorry, I have no intention of cooperating with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. If there's nothing else, please step aside."

In the past ten days or so, she had heard Yu Mingxiao talk about the various forces on the continent and knew that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was a force that mainly relied on auxiliary Martial Soul and was already on the decline.

In addition, Yu Mingxiao had previously instructed her not to associate with this sect.

As the Sect Master the Starry Sky Sect, she naturally kept Yu Mingxiao's instructions in mind.

"Ah?"

Ning Fengzhi was stunned, completely unexpected that she would refuse so directly. He quickly stopped her, "Sect Master Ye, are you really not going to reconsider?"

"I've made myself clear enough. If you have nothing else to say, get out of the way." Ye Lingshuang's face turned cold, and she released her aura to press forward.

Ning Fengzhi was only a support-type Soul Master with a weak body. He was immediately overwhelmed and collapsed to the ground.

"Snort!"

With a cold snort, Ye Lingshuang turned and left.

Ning Fengzhi's face flushed red, feeling utterly humiliated. He turned to the Soul Saint beside him, puzzled, and asked, "Why didn't you withstand her aura?"

Soul Saint timidly whispered, "Young Master Ning, this woman's aura is too strong. She seems only slightly weaker than Elder Cai, but she's probably a top expert at that level."

"That level, you mean... Titled Douluo?!" Ning Fengzhi's pupils shrank, finding it hard to believe.

How is it possible that the Sect Master of a small, unheard-of sect is Titled Douluo?

It seems that forcing the other party to cooperate through force is not going to work...

There are two sides to the story.

After leaving the stage, Yu Xiaogang did not return to his residence immediately.

After Yu Yuanzhen finished entertaining the guests, he secretly came over.

Yu Xiaogang said, "Father, I think... I..."

Yu Yuanzhen frowned, his face expressionless, and said, "Xiao Gang, what's the matter?"

Yu Xiaogang gritted his teeth and said, "Father, I... I want to go to the Spirit Hall."

"What are you going to the Spirit Hall for?" Yu Yuanzhen asked.

Yu Xiaogang said, "Father, the Spirit Hall is said to have the most complete collection of theoretical books on the continent. I want to study them carefully and try to change my Talent."

"You've been studying Martial Soul Theory for so long, have you come up with anything yet?" Yu Yuanzhen asked, frowning.

No one knows a son better than his father. Yu Xiaogang spent most of his time in the sect, especially in the sect's Library. These actions naturally did not escape Yu Yuanzhen's notice.

Yu Yuanzhen has long since stopped bothering to control Yu Xiaogang. As long as he doesn't cause trouble or embarrass himself outside, he lets him run wild in the sect.

Yu Xiaogang gave a vague, evasive answer, "I... I haven't figured out anything useful yet. There are just too few theoretical books in the sect."

Yu Yuanzhen frowned immediately, completely disbelieving his explanation. After reading so many theoretical books, even if it was just organizing and summarizing, he should have been able to grasp some of the key points. But he just couldn't produce any results whatsoever.

Either Gangzi is too useless.

Or perhaps he's been slacking off in the library the whole time.

Of course, it's also possible that Gangzi is both incompetent and lazy, and has both traits!

Seeing that his father's expression was off, Yu Xiaogang's heart sank instantly.

"Father, Father."

Yu Yuanzhen stared intently at him, so angry that he really wanted to slap him, but after a moment of silence, he didn't make a move. In the end, this kid was truly useless and lazy, but at least he still had a desire to improve.

Even if he is ambitious, it may not be a good thing for the family. He makes a fool of himself everywhere he goes outside.

"Fine, since you want to go to the Spirit Hall, then go ahead. Qian Xunji hasn't left yet; I'll go tell him to arrange a librarian position for you."

Yu Xiaogang beamed instantly. "That's wonderful, thank you, Father!"

"Don't thank me yet."

Yu Yuanzhen said in a deep voice, "I have one condition. Once you arrive at the Spirit Hall, you are not allowed to meddle in anything. Stay obediently in the Library, don't run around, don't cause trouble, and don't embarrass me again!"

"If you do these three things well, I'll agree to let you go to the Spirit Hall."

"Yes, yes, Father, I will definitely do it!" Yu Xiaogang quickly patted his chest and agreed.

"You may leave now. I'm going to find Qian Xunji." Yu Yuanzhen softly, then added, "Also, don't wear pink clothes; it makes you look completely unmanly."

"Okay, I'll go change it right away."

Yu Xiaogang withdrew and left the Sect Master Mansion, thinking about his wonderful future, imagining himself becoming a highly respected Grand Master, admired by all, and enjoying a glorious life where he could command a hundred responses to his every call.

Without realizing it, he miraculously reached climax.
