"Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?"
Ye Ruilin looked at the proud, pretty short-haired girl before him.
His eyes flickered as a vague suspicion arose in his heart.
"Our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has always been able to sense certain treasures through our Martial Souls."
"Just now, I clearly sensed a treasure in this alley, but it vanished in the blink of an eye. From then until now, you were the only one who came here."
"The treasure should be on you, right?"
The girl spoke with certainty.
The people behind her all fixed their gazes on Ye Ruilin.
"So what if it is?"
Ye Ruilin found it rather amusing. Since ancient times, in any deal, first come, first served. Did these people intend to rob him by force?
"Little brother, I'll grant you a favor. If you give the treasure to me, then if you face any trouble in the future, my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will certainly lend you a hand."
Ning Xiaoxian said smugly.
In her view, any trouble this young man might encounter was utterly insignificant to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Countless people wanted to establish ties with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
She hoped this kid would know better and hand over the treasure quickly.
"Not interested."
Ye Ruilin yawned and turned to leave.
"You..."
Anger flashed through the short-haired girl's eyes. The people beside her immediately surrounded the two of them.
Old Wu raised his eyes and stared coldly at the group before him.
Though the Ye Family had remained hidden for many years, he had still heard a little about the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
But if the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect provoked the Ye Family and disturbed the Young Master's mood, he would not show them any courtesy.
"Little brother, I advise you to think this through."
"Our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is one of the Upper Three Sects. There are many things we can accomplish."
Ning Xiaoxian suppressed the anger in her heart.
She had never been disregarded like this by an ordinary person.
"Too noisy."
Old Wu, standing behind him, had noticed the impatience in Ye Ruilin's eyes.
He immediately stepped forward. Then, a terrifying Soul Power pressure descended upon Ning Xiaoxian and the others.
Ning Xiaoxian's formerly arrogant expression abruptly changed, and her face turned deathly pale.
She had only ever felt the aura of a Title Douluo from the two elders who guarded their sect.
Old Wu did not rush to act against the group. Instead, he looked toward the back of the alley.
"Hehe..."
Laughter drifted over from afar.
"I wonder where this friend is from? This matter was indeed caused by my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's discourtesy."
"Xiao Xian, hurry up and apologize!"
A white-haired elder in black robes walked over from the end of the alley with a genial smile.
Clearly, he had been following this group of young men and women the entire time.
"Grandfather!"
The short-haired girl had not expected her own grandfather to make her apologize, and a wronged expression immediately appeared on her face.
"Hurry."
The black-robed elder's face darkened.
The short-haired girl pursed her lips and immediately walked up to Ye Ruilin.
"I'm sorry..."
Her voice was very soft and carried a trace of reluctance.
"Little brother, our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect handled this matter improperly. This girl is also out searching for treasures for the first time, so she was inevitably a little overzealous."
"I hope you will not take offense."
With a single glance, the black-robed elder saw who was in charge between the two.
His gaze locked directly onto Ye Ruilin.
"Little brother, you look unfamiliar. I fear this is your first time in Heaven Dou City. If you are interested, you may come visit my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."
The black-robed elder spoke with a smile.
Though he did not know this youth's identity, merely judging by the servant following behind him—
he could infer a thing or two.
He could not claim to know every powerful figure active in the Soul Master world, but he knew a fair number of them.
The youth's identity clearly pointed to one of those Hidden Families concealed deep in the shadows.
Ye Ruilin looked at the smiling old fox before him, his eyes shifting.
Now that he had been driven out of his home, he would naturally be somewhat short on cultivation resources.
As one of the Upper Three Sects, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect possessed immense wealth. Setting aside those heavenly treasures, its exceptional Mimicry Environment alone drew countless Soul Masters like moths to a flame.
If he could join the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, he would not need to spend so much effort worrying about cultivation resources.
Moreover, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's Mimicry Environment would be greatly beneficial to his Martial Soul cultivation.
After pondering for a moment, Ye Ruilin immediately smiled.
"Then thank you, Senior. I happen to be somewhat interested in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect as well."
The black-robed elder froze for a moment, then the smile in his eyes deepened.
Connections led to dealings, dealings led to friendship. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would not lose out!
Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, study.
Ning Fengzhi looked at the letter in his hand, his brows tightly furrowed.
Ever since His Majesty the Emperor had fallen ill, those harboring their own ambitions had gradually begun to emerge.
It truly gave him a headache.
"Sect Master Ning."
Suddenly, a bold voice sounded from outside the room.
Sword Douluo immediately appeared before Ning Fengzhi, and the two looked outside at the same time.
A burly figure strode in through the doorway.
Ye Zhentian looked at the two men and smiled as he cupped his hands.
"I came to visit so suddenly. I wonder whether I have disturbed you two."
Ning Fengzhi narrowed his eyes. Once he recognized the visitor, a smile gradually appeared on his face.
"I did not know that Kirin Douluo would honor us with his presence. Ning failed to welcome you properly. Please, come in."
"May I ask if Kirin Douluo has important business at my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?"
Ning Fengzhi asked thoughtfully.
The Kirin Ye Clan had not appeared in the world for a long time. Ning Fengzhi truly could not understand why this distinguished guest had come.
"I have indeed come to trouble the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect with something."
"My son is still young, and as his father, I truly have difficulty keeping him in line."
"By coincidence, that brat recently came to your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. I came this time to ask Sect Master Ning to take good care of him."
Ye Zhentian sat down, took a sip of tea, and wore a helpless expression.
Sword Douluo and Ning Fengzhi exchanged a glance, both seeing the other's surprise.
The young master of the Qilin Clan had actually chosen to run away and join their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?
"Sect Master Ning need not worry too much. Since that brat wants to stand on his own, let him experience it. There is no need to take excessive care of him."
Thinking of how his own brat had run off without even looking back, Ye Zhentian could not help but snort coldly.
If Old Wu had not been by that brat's side, he truly would not have been at ease letting him come out on his own.
But since he was already out, this was a good opportunity to temper him and let him know how difficult it was to conduct oneself in the outside world. Once he returned, he could cultivate honestly and stop obsessing over those troublesome antics.
"I ask Sect Master Ning to look after him during this time and let my brat cultivate in peace. I, Ye, will be endlessly grateful."
"If there are any problems, feel free to come to the Ye Family and find me."
Ye Zhentian looked at Ning Fengzhi.
"What are you saying, Kirin Douluo? Since the young master is willing to come to my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, it is naturally an honor for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."
"Rest assured, we certainly will not let the young master suffer any grievance."
Ning Fengzhi smiled gently and immediately agreed.
Seeing Ning Fengzhi agree, Ye Zhentian did not linger.
Only after his figure disappeared did Sword Douluo speak.
"What do you think he really means by this?"
Chen Xin did not believe that Kirin Douluo merely wanted someone to take care of his son.
"The Ye Family has remained hidden for a long time. I cannot make heads or tails of this either. We might as well take things one step at a time."
Ning Fengzhi shook his head, a thoughtful look flashing through his eyes.
