Conditions for Becoming a Study Companion

The moment he entered, Ning Fengzhi's gaze swept over him.

"Truly, a tiger father has no dog son. At such a young age, you already possess this level of cultivation. Your future is surely limitless."

The moment he saw Ye Ruilin, Ning Fengzhi immediately revealed a warm smile.

Ye Ruilin remained composed as he stepped forward and bowed to Ning Fengzhi.

"This junior greets Sect Master Ning."

"Thank you for your praise, Sect Master."

His calm demeanor made Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo, who had been watching him, secretly nod once more.

This boy possessed extraordinary bearing and exceptional strength. Even his courage and mental fortitude were outstanding.

If nothing unexpected happened, he would certainly become a powerhouse in his own right someday.

Ning Fengzhi lowered his eyes, a glint flashing through them.

Perhaps this was an opportunity for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!

Even if he could not become his daughter's study companion, they still had to forge a good relationship with this boy.

"I had you come here today because there is something very important I would like to ask your opinion on."

Ning Fengzhi raised a hand and poured Ye Ruilin a cup of tea, his expression natural.

Ye Ruilin nodded and looked at Ning Fengzhi with a serious expression, which greatly pleased Ning Fengzhi.

"It is like this. My precious daughter happens to be looking for a study companion. What do you think?"

Ning Fengzhi turned to glance at Ning Rongrong.

Ning Rongrong's gaze had remained fixed on Ye Ruilin. Noticing her father's look, the little girl playfully stuck out her tongue.

Ye Ruilin looked at Ning Rongrong.

At this time, she was still a little girl with baby fat on her cheeks, her bright eyes sparkling with admiration.

"Rongrong is my only daughter. She is about to reach the age of awakening her Martial Soul, yet she still cannot settle down."

"It truly gives me a headache."

"If you agree to become her study companion, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is willing to offer two thousand Gold Soul Coins."

"At the same time, you will receive a spatial Soul Tool."

Ning Fengzhi stated his offer.

He knew this boy's situation very well.

A hot-blooded youth who had run away from home would not be carrying much money.

Money might not be everything, but in this world, one simply could not get by without it.

He did not believe the boy would not be tempted.

Yet Ye Ruilin's expression remained faint, as though he did not care about Ning Fengzhi's terms at all.

And that was indeed the case.

To him, Gold Soul Coins were merely items that refreshed at a fixed time every day.

A mere two thousand Gold Soul Coins truly might not be enough to move him.

Although there was also a spatial Soul Tool, he did not lack those either.

Thinking of the ring he had bought earlier, a vague guess arose in Ye Ruilin's heart.

That ring had to be a spatial Soul Tool.

Something capable of provoking a reaction from him definitely could not be an ordinary Soul Tool.

When he had time, he would have to study it properly.

"Thank you for your favor, Sect Master Ning."

"However, this junior has no intention of becoming a study companion."

Ye Ruilin declined with a light smile.

Ning Fengzhi had expected this and merely nodded slightly.

Then he sensed something unusual coming from behind him.

"Daddy, please, let him become my study companion."

"With him by my side, I will definitely be very serious when I cultivate."

Ning Rongrong's soft, sweet voice came from behind him.

Ning Fengzhi sighed. He had spoiled this daughter since she was little.

What else could he do when faced with his daughter's request?

Naturally, he would do his best to fulfill it.

"I'll raise the Gold Soul Coins to five thousand."

"The Soul Tool I promised earlier still stands. On top of that, you may freely make one request."

"As long as the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect can accomplish it, you may name it."

Ning Fengzhi said solemnly.

This was not only to satisfy Ning Rongrong's request, but also to forge a good relationship with this boy.

After taking so much from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect today,

if the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect needed his help in the future, it would probably not be so easy for him to refuse.

He made this promise with complete confidence.

Ye Ruilin raised his eyes, not expecting Ning Fengzhi to offer such terms.

After all, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was one of the Upper Three Sects.

The value of Ning Fengzhi's promise was obvious.

He lowered his head and pondered for a moment.

When his gaze swept over Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo standing behind him, his eyes instantly lit up.

He only had Old Wu by his side.

If he wanted to seize the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well in the future, it would likely be difficult.

Dugu Bo's poison was no joke, and he had no ability to neutralize it.

The safest method was to suppress Dugu Bo with absolute strength and leave him without the nerve to entertain any improper thoughts.

Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo would be perfect helpers.

If he could bring three Title Douluo to Sunset Forest, he would not have to fear Dugu Bo pulling any tricks.

"I have two conditions."

"First, I want to cultivate within the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. I want to use the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's simulated cultivation environment, and I hope to have a place exclusively for myself."

"Second, I hope Senior Sword Douluo and Senior Bone Douluo can heed my command once in the future."

When he stated the first condition, Ning Fengzhi's expression did not change.

But when he raised the second, Ning Fengzhi's hand paused slightly.

He had not expected this boy to set his sights on the sect's two Title Douluo.

Sword Douluo frowned, displeasure appearing on his face.

A Title Douluo possessed overwhelming combat power. With a casual deployment, one could easily destroy a small nation.

The price of asking even one Title Douluo to act was immeasurable...

Yet this boy actually wanted to hire two at once!

"Heh heh, good boy. These old bones of mine still have to heed your command once in the future."

Bone Douluo laughed outright.

His gaze fell upon Ye Ruilin, carrying a trace of dangerous intent.

Seeing that her two grandpas seemed unwilling, Ning Rongrong's little cheeks immediately puffed up.

"Grandpa Bone, just agree to him. Rongrong really wants him to become my study companion."

"Does Grandpa Bone want Rongrong to cry for you?"

After saying that, she vigorously rubbed her eyes, and her bright eyes instantly became misty.

This made Bone Douluo's heart ache terribly.

"Oh, my little princess, be gentler. What if you hurt your eyes?"

"Grandpa Bone agrees. Is that enough?"

"Don't do such dangerous things again."

After seeing Bone Douluo agree, Ning Rongrong immediately turned to Sword Douluo.

Under Ning Rongrong's pitiful gaze, the silent Sword Douluo

finally let out a helpless sigh.

"Boy."

"The condition for heeding your command is that you do not harm the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect or violate righteousness."

"You must not recklessly take lives. If you agree, we will agree to heed your command once in the future."

Sword Douluo said solemnly.

"No problem. I will never do such things."

Ye Ruilin agreed without hesitation.

After all, he only wanted these two seniors to serve as bodyguards once and suppress Dugu Bo.

He had no plans for anything else.

"Yay! Then starting today, you are this young lady's study companion!"

Ning Rongrong skipped in front of Ye Ruilin and stared at him with a radiant smile, her eyes brimming with delight.
