A Spar at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?

"Grandfather, why must you insist on having this brat join our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?"

Inside the carriage, Ning Xiaoxian pouted, looking thoroughly displeased.

The black-robed elder, Ning Tianlong, merely watched his granddaughter with a beaming smile.

"Xiaoxian, you should know that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has always favored befriending powerful and promising Battle Spirit Masters."

"Although we possess the strongest support martial spirits, our lack of combat power remains our most fatal weakness."

"Every descendant of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect chooses a partner or spouse who is an exceptionally powerful Battle Spirit Master."

"Don't you think this kid is a fine seedling?"

Ning Tianlong revealed his intentions.

The elderly are as cunning as foxes.

Having lived to his age, he could guess the truth of most matters with just a single glance.

Though the boy was still young, the composure he carried was clearly out of the ordinary.

A six-year-old child, young as he was, already offered a glimpse into a promising future.

This boy had great potential!

"Grandfather!"

"You aren't trying to set me up with him, are you?"

Ning Xiaoxian's face turned beet red in an instant.

Though she was still young, she understood a thing or two, and she glared at her grandfather in annoyance.

Ning Tianlong burst into hearty laughter.

In the carriage behind them.

"I wonder what the Young Master intends to do?"

Old Wu could not quite fathom the Young Master's thoughts, so he decided to be direct and ask.

Ye Ruilin had no intention of hiding his plans.

"To rapidly improve my cultivation, I need a vast amount of resources. We are penniless right now, so where would we get the resources to train?"

"If we can join the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, with your strength and mine, we should be able to obtain a portion of their resources."

"These resources will largely resolve my urgent needs, and most importantly, the simulated cultivation environments of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect are exactly what I need right now."

Ye Ruilin spoke of his current predicament with an indifferent expression.

He understood that choosing to break away from his family meant he would inevitably face such hardships.

But he was unwilling to follow the family's arrangements and walk a path he knew to be the most inferior choice.

"Young Master need not worry. If the Young Master wishes, I will do everything in my power to obtain the resources you desire."

Old Wu's expression shifted slightly; he had not expected the Young Master to be so thoughtful at such a young age.

The Young Master before him was only six years old.

"Old Wu, why waste energy on irrelevant matters?"

"You are right; if we maneuvered carefully, we could indeed obtain the cultivation resources we need."

"But that would be a waste of your time and mine."

"Borrowing strength to rise higher is the superior path."

Ye Ruilin chuckled.

As the two conversed, they soon arrived at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

As one of the powerful Upper Three Sects, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was elegant both inside and out.

"Hey, kid, come with me. Grandfather is waiting up ahead."

Ning Xiaoxian's figure suddenly appeared beside them, a trace of unnaturalness on the little girl's face.

Ye Ruilin did not mind; he nodded and followed behind Ning Xiaoxian.

Ever since her grandfather had teased her, the way Ning Xiaoxian looked at Ye Ruilin had felt off.

The blatant gaze was something even a dense person could feel.

Ye Ruilin naturally sensed Ning Xiaoxian's strange stares as well.

Whenever he turned his gaze toward her, the little girl would instantly look away, pretending as if nothing had happened.

After this happened twice, Ye Ruilin gave up and let her observe him as she pleased.

"Hehe, since it is your first time here, little friend, I shall take you around for a tour."

Ning Tianlong stood before a forest path with a smile, looking back at them.

Ye Ruilin followed quietly behind the elder, calmly observing everything before him.

This left Ning Xiaoxian, who had hoped to see a look of astonishment on his face, feeling somewhat surprised.

After all, the grandeur of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was something ordinary soul masters could only dream of.

Although her grandfather had said that the guy before her did not have a simple identity, Ning Xiaoxian did not believe he could be more impressive than the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

"Go, Senior Brother Wang, go!"

"Junior Brother Ning, fight back!"

"..."

Before they knew it, the group had wandered over to the martial arts training ground.

Figures were bustling ahead, with countless people gathered together.

"Hehe, little friend, you are quite lucky; today just happens to be the monthly martial arts competition of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."

"For this competition, even those little monsters who usually refuse to make a move have all joined in."

"These are all disciples of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, along with students and descendants of our guest elders."

"In ordinary competitions, if one achieves a good ranking, they can obtain some decent cultivation resources."

"But this time, the Sect Master specifically wants to choose one from this group to be a study companion for the little princess. The status of a study companion is extraordinary, so it is no wonder these fellows are competing so fiercely."

Seeing the situation ahead, Ning Tianlong immediately turned around and said with a smile.

Hearing that it was a competition for the younger generation of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Ye Ruilin looked up.

Among the crowd ahead, the strongest were only at the level of a Soul Grand Master.

Yet, for a group of ten-year-olds, they could certainly be called young geniuses!

"How about it? Do you want to go up and try?"

Ning Xiaoxian rolled her eyes, then looked at Ye Ruilin.

From start to finish, she had never seen this kid make a move.

Now was the perfect chance to test his strength.

"Xiaoxian, do not be rude."

Ning Tianlong frowned and glared at his granddaughter.

He had invited the two to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect today primarily to build a relationship.

Among the youths before them, many were exceptionally gifted.

If he were to lose to these people, it would be rather embarrassing.

Young people have high spirits; if things went wrong, it wouldn't be building a relationship, but rather fostering enmity.

Ning Xiaoxian stuck out her tongue, but she stiffened her neck and refused to look at her grandfather.

She simply wanted to know the extent of this kid's strength.

"Senior Brother Wang, this little brother next to me says he wants to test your strength."

She turned her head and shouted directly at the tall youth in the crowd.

The tall youth heard the call and looked up.

"Elder Ning, Junior Sister Ning."

Wang Tianci ran over with a smile on his face.

His sharp gaze then fell upon Ye Ruilin.

"I don't know what to call you, little brother. My name is Wang Tianci, and I am already a level 19 soul master."

When mentioning his cultivation level, a look of pride appeared on Wang Tianci's face.

He was only one step away from becoming a Soul Grand Master.

"Ye Ruilin, level 12 soul master."

Ye Ruilin spoke in a calm voice, his gaze glancing at Ning Xiaoxian, who was standing to the side.

He had absolutely no interest in becoming a study companion for Ning Rongrong.

Such meaningless matters would only be a massive waste of his cultivation time.

"Kid, I think it's not that you don't want to participate in the competition, but that you don't have the strength to do so, right?"

Seeing that Ye Ruilin had no intention of making a move, Ning Xiaoxian couldn't help but speak up.

"Little brother, since Junior Sister Ning has spoken, let the two of us spar a little. Don't worry, I will go easy on you."

Wang Tianci said with an arrogant expression.

Among this group, aside from those few freaks, no one was his match!

He would go easy on this kid.
