Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect

That day, the Dean suddenly had Huo Lie summon Huo Wu and Xiaofei to prepare to welcome distinguished guests in the main hall. Even Huo Wushuang, who was in seclusion training, was called out.

When Xiaofei and the other two arrived at the main hall, it was clearly under tight security, with Huo Family disciples guarding the surroundings. The three entered the hall and saw the Dean seated alone in the seat of honor, with two people beside him—one refined and elegant, the other incomparably sharp. They were Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo.

Behind them sat a young man and woman. The woman was exceptionally beautiful, especially her blue eyes. Her tender skin was like lychee flesh, and she stood around one meter sixty-five tall, with a very well-proportioned figure. Her noble, ethereal bearing made her seem like an aristocratic young lady who had received a fine education. Wearing a princess dress, she sat there quietly. Xiaofei, who knew the original story well, recognized her at once as the Little Witch, Ning Rongrong. The other was a young man in his twenties, dressed in the robes of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. He was likely a Ning Family disciple.

Seeing the three enter, the Dean introduced them. "These two are Sect Master Ning of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and Senior Sword Douluo." After the introductions, they were indeed Ning Rongrong and a Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda Spirit Master surnamed Ning. The three greeted Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo.

Ning Fengzhi smiled. "My three young friends, the last time we met was at the Spirit Master Tournament finals. Four years have passed, and the three of you have become more and more outstanding."

Ning Fengzhi then said to the Dean, "Dean Huo, have you considered the matter of an alliance between our two families?"

The Dean shook his head and said, "Sect Master Ning, the terms you offered are truly excellent, and I am tempted. But Blazing Academy has been passed down by our ancestors. For generations, the Huo Family has done nothing but run this academy. We do not participate in struggles between factions, nor have we established a sect, so we cannot form an alliance with anyone. However, if disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect wish to study at Blazing Academy, they are very welcome. And after graduation, we will not interfere with the students' ambitions."

"As for marriage between our families, the Huo Family has always been rather open-minded. As long as both children approve of each other, that is enough. We will not interfere."

Ning Fengzhi could not help grumbling inwardly, How is the Huo Family open-minded? Everyone knows your family has always been as fiery as its name. Hardly any direct-line women marry out, and no men marry into other families either.

Yet Ning Fengzhi still nodded with a smile. "That works as well. I happen to have matters to attend to near Blazing City for a while, so Rongrong and Ning Yuan can spend some time getting to know your family's three young geniuses."

In truth, anyone with eyes could see that the Huo Family had produced two peerless geniuses. They were only in their twenties, yet they had already reached the cultivation of high-level Soul Emperors. Within twenty years, they would likely add two more Titled Douluo, not to mention the genius Wang Xiaofei. The Huo Family could not possibly take sides now. Once they did, the other side would not hesitate to eliminate the Huo Family's geniuses. What the Huo Family lacked most right now was time—time for its geniuses to grow.

Sword Douluo gave Xiaofei a serious look and said, "Wang Xiaofei, it has been a long time. If you are willing to join the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Old Bone and I will take you as our personal disciple and pass down everything we have learned in our lives."

Xiaofei quickly replied, "Thank you for thinking so highly of me, Senior Sword Douluo. But I am already a teacher at Blazing Academy, so it would not be appropriate for me to join the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."

Sword Douluo shook his head. "What is inappropriate about it? You are only a student of Blazing Academy now. You have not taken a master, nor have you married into the Huo Family. If you join the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, you will have a far broader future."

Xiaofei shook his head. "Senior Sword Douluo, I have my own ambitions and goals. In my eyes, Blazing Academy is my home. The Dean, Huo Wushuang, and Huo Wu are my family. I do not want to leave my family."

Sword Douluo shook his head. "What a pity!" Then he said nothing more.

After that, all four members of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect moved into Blazing Academy. Ning Rongrong and Ning Yuan were received by Huo Wushuang and the other two, while Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo were personally received by the Dean.

After Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo returned to their room, Ning Fengzhi asked, "Uncle Jian, what do you think of the Huo Family's three young people?"

Sword Douluo said, "All three can be called outstanding talents of their generation. As for Huo Wushuang and Huo Wu, I feel their talents have become much greater than they were during the Spirit Master Tournament. There is an added quality to them. Huo Wu feels even more like a king, while the dragon attribute on Wushuang seems much stronger. I have only seen such a powerful draconic aura on that old dragon. The potential of the Huo Family's Twin Stars may not be inferior to the Haotian Twin Stars."

Ning Fengzhi shook his head. "They are members of the Huo Family, and they will be the Huo Family's future foundation. Huo Tianchen likely will not allow anyone to take the two of them away. What about Wang Xiaofei? How strong is he? Has he truly wasted his potential?"

Sword Douluo shook his head. "Wang Xiaofei is already level sixty-four. In terms of the depth of his soul power, he is even higher than the Huo siblings. I even sensed an innate killing intent from him. Ordinary Soul Saints may not necessarily be his match."

Ning Fengzhi said in surprise, "How is that possible? Four years ago, Wang Xiaofei's soul power was level forty-nine. Four years later, it is already level sixty-four. His soul power has increased by a full fifteen levels. Even excluding two high-age Soul Rings, he has still advanced by more than twelve levels, averaging three levels a year. Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang's soul power increased even more. How did the three of them cultivate? Could the rumors that the Huo Family obtained some treasure be true?"

Sword Douluo shook his head. "Such a treasure would certainly be exceedingly rare. No matter what, the Huo Family would not use it on an outsider like Wang Xiaofei. It seems Blazing Academy has a great secret."

Over the following days, Huo Wushuang and the other two took Ning Rongrong and Ning Yuan all around Blazing Academy. They even brought them to the training grounds of the new Blazing Team. Ning Rongrong and Ning Yuan also tried rock climbing, only to end up suffering miserably.

Without Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo present, Ning Rongrong seemed to return to her witch-like nature, and Blazing Academy immediately showed signs of being thrown into chaos.

Perhaps because of Ning Fengzhi's arrangements, Ning Rongrong was unexpectedly very interested in Xiaofei. She was practically one step away from writing her affection across her face. From time to time, she had Xiaofei do this or that. Xiaofei found it hard to refuse, and every time he ended up dirty and disheveled, making Huo Wu extremely jealous. Xiaofei could only feel speechless.

In the original story, Spirit Hall's Spirit Hunting Operation would take place in another year. Making connections with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect now—wasn't that simply courting death?

A month later, Ning Fengzhi seemed to have finished his business, while the younger generation of the two families had apparently made no progress either. So he took Ning Rongrong and Ning Yuan and departed.

On the carriage, Ning Fengzhi asked, "Rongrong, what do you think of Xiaofei and Huo Wushuang?"

Ning Rongrong thought for a moment before saying, "Neither of them is very interesting. Huo Wushuang handles people and situations quite well, but he spoils his sister terribly. Wang Xiaofei rarely interacts with other people. Aside from Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang, he seems not to care about anything else. Besides, anyone can see now that Huo Wu and Wang Xiaofei are a couple. Wang Xiaofei will probably marry into the Huo Family."

Ning Fengzhi continued, "Did you have any contact with the strength of the three of them?"

Ning Rongrong shook her head. "Over the past month, I hardly saw any of the three fight."

Ning Fengzhi sighed. "What a pity, such peerless talents."
