Conditions for Becoming a Royal Companion

As soon as he entered, Ning Fengzhi's gaze swept over him.

"Truly, a tiger father has no dog for a son; to possess such cultivation at such a young age, your future is bound to be limitless."

Upon seeing Ye Ruilin, Ning Fengzhi immediately revealed a gentle smile.

Ye Ruilin remained composed, walking forward to bow to Ning Fengzhi.

"This junior greets Sect Master Ning."

"Many thanks for the Sect Master's praise."

This calm and collected demeanor caused Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo, who were observing him, to nod secretly once more.

This child possessed an extraordinary bearing and superior strength, and even his courage and psychological fortitude were excellent.

If no accidents occurred, this child would surely become a powerhouse in the future.

Ning Fengzhi's eyes lowered, a flash of sharp light crossing them.

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

Even if he could not become his daughter's study companion, he must establish a good relationship with this child.

"I have asked you here today because there is a very important matter I wish to ask your opinion on."

Ning Fengzhi raised his hand to pour a cup of tea for Ye Ruilin, his expression natural.

Ye Ruilin nodded, his gaze fixed on Ning Fengzhi with a serious look, which pleased Ning Fengzhi greatly.

"It is like this: my precious daughter happens to be looking for a study companion. I wonder what you think of this?"

Ning Fengzhi looked back at Ning Rongrong.

Ning Rongrong's gaze had been fixed on Ye Ruilin the entire time; noticing her father's look, the little girl playfully stuck out her tongue.

Ye Ruilin looked at Ning Rongrong.

At this moment, the little girl was still a young loli with baby fat on her cheeks, her bright, large eyes flickering with a light of admiration.

"Rongrong is my only daughter. This little girl is about to reach the age to awaken her Martial Soul, yet she still cannot settle her heart."

"It truly gives one a headache."

"If you agree to become her study companion, my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is willing to offer 2000 Gold Soul Coins."

"We will also include a spatial Soul Tool."

Ning Fengzhi laid out his offer.

He was very clear about this boy's situation.

A spirited youth running away from home would not have much money on him.

Although money was not everything, in this world, one certainly could not function without it.

He did not believe this boy would be unmoved.

Ye Ruilin, however, remained indifferent, seemingly unconcerned by the conditions Ning Fengzhi had set.

And in fact, that was the truth.

To him, Gold Soul Coins were merely items that refreshed daily.

A mere 2000 Gold Soul Coins were not necessarily enough to sway him.

Although a spatial Soul Tool was added, he was not exactly lacking in that department either.

Thinking of the ring he had purchased earlier, a guess formed in the back of Ye Ruilin's mind.

That ring was surely a spatial Soul Tool.

Anything capable of triggering a reaction from him could certainly not be an ordinary Soul Tool.

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

"Many thanks for your kindness, Sect Master Ning."

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

Ye Ruilin declined with a light smile.

Ning Fengzhi had anticipated this and merely nodded slightly.

Immediately after, he felt a strange sensation coming from behind him.

"Daddy, I beg you, please let him be 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.

Ning Fengzhi sighed; he had spoiled this daughter since she was small.

What else could he do regarding his daughter's requests?

Naturally, he would strive to fulfill them.

"The Gold Soul Coins will be increased to 5000."

"The Soul Tool I promised earlier still stands, and on top of that, you may make one additional request."

"As long as it is within the capabilities of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, feel free to speak."

Ning Fengzhi said in a deep voice.

This move was not only to satisfy Ning Rongrong's request but also to forge a bond of goodwill with this youth.

Having taken so much from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect today, if the sect were to ask for a favor in the future, it would surely be hard for him to refuse!

He made this promise with complete peace of mind.

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

One had to realize that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was one of the Upper Three Sects.

The weight of Ning Fengzhi's promise was self-evident.

He lowered his head and pondered for a moment.

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

He only had Old Wu by his side.

It would likely be difficult to secure the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well in the future.

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

The safest method was to suppress Dugu Bo with absolute strength, leaving him with no courage to harbor any crooked thoughts.

Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo were the perfect helpers.

If he could bring three Title Douluo to the Sunset Forest, he wouldn't have to worry about Dugu Bo pulling any tricks.

"I have two conditions."

"One is that I be allowed to cultivate within the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. I want to use the sect's simulated cultivation environment, and I hope to have a space exclusively for my own use."

"As for the second, I hope that seniors Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo will be at my beck and call once in the future."

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

But when the second condition was proposed, his hand paused slightly.

He had not expected this kid to set his sights on the two Title Douluo of his own sect.

Sword Douluo frowned, his face showing a hint of displeasure.

One must know that Title Douluo possessed supreme combat power; a casual command could easily destroy a small nation.

The cost of merely requesting a Title Douluo to act was immeasurable...

And this kid actually wanted to hire both at once!

"Heh heh, good kid, you want my old bones to be at your beck and call once in the future."

Bone Douluo laughed out loud.

His gaze fell upon Ye Ruilin, radiating a dangerous aura.

Seeing that her two grandfathers seemed somewhat unwilling, Ning Rongrong puffed up her little cheeks.

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

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

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

This immediately made Bone Douluo's heart ache.

"Oh, my little princess, be gentle, what if you hurt your eyes?"

"Bone Grandpa agrees, I'll agree, won't I?"

"Don't do such dangerous things again."

Seeing that Bone Douluo had agreed, Ning Rongrong immediately turned her head to look at Sword Douluo.

Sword Douluo, who had been silent, sighed helplessly under Ning Rongrong's pitiful gaze.

"Kid."

"The condition for being at your beck and call is that it must not harm the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect or violate morality."

"Do not kill indiscriminately; if you agree to this, we will consent to serve you once in the future."

Sword Douluo said in a deep voice.

"No problem, I would never do such things."

Ye Ruilin agreed without the slightest hesitation.

After all, he only wanted these two seniors to act as bodyguards for one occasion to suppress Dugu Bo.

He had no intention of doing anything else.

"Yay! From today on, you are this young lady's study companion!"

Ning Rongrong jumped in front of Ye Ruilin, staring at him with a beaming smile, her eyes filled with joy.
