Meanwhile, in the main hall of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Sword Douluo Chen Xin was still speaking to Ning Fengzhi.
"Fengzhi, Rongrong ran off on her own. What if she encounters danger? And will that Shrek Academy of yours really teach Rongrong properly? What if she gets bullied there?"
Bone Douluo Gu Rong spoke up as well.
"That's right, Sword Man has a point. Could that Flender possibly teach her better than Sword Man and I can? Hurry and send someone to bring Rongrong back."
Hearing this, Ning Fengzhi shook his head with a bitter smile before speaking to Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo.
"Uncle Sword, Uncle Bone, look at yourselves. You usually indulge Rongrong in every possible way. At the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, she's practically lawless. If no one reins her in now, who knows what she'll become in the future? It wasn't easy to get her to leave. Letting her gain some experience outside would be good for her."
"Besides, I've looked into Flender. Other than being greedy for money, he's fine in every other respect. I've already spoken with him, and he'll teach Rongrong properly. And I didn't send Rongrong out alone—I arranged for people to protect her in secret. So you don't need to worry about her safety. Let her stay outside for now. Otherwise, under your excessive doting, she'll be ruined in the future."
Even after hearing Ning Fengzhi's words, Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo remained somewhat unconvinced and spoke to him.
"Rongrong is our only granddaughter. If we don't treat her well, then who should we treat well? In any case, if Rongrong suffers any grievance in the future, we'll make that person pay the price."
"And we'll go see Rongrong ourselves when the time comes. If she isn't living well, we'll bring her back. Fengzhi, you can't stop us."
Ning Fengzhi could only smile and nod at Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo's words.
"Fine. If Rongrong suffers any grievance outside, bring her back."
After that matter was settled, Ning Fengzhi's expression turned serious as he spoke to Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo.
"Alright, Uncle Sword, Uncle Bone. Now we should consider what to do about this information."
As he spoke, Ning Fengzhi took out the intelligence report delivered by Yue Guan and Gui Mei.
Upon hearing this, Bone Douluo and Sword Douluo, who had still been somewhat displeased, calmed down and sat before Ning Fengzhi.
Then Sword Douluo gritted his teeth and said.
"Spirit Hall truly has no shortage of talent! This Qian Renxue should be that old bastard Qian Daoliu's granddaughter, shouldn't she?"
As he said this, Sword Douluo crushed the teacup in his hand into powder.
Neither Bone Douluo nor Ning Fengzhi said anything about Sword Douluo losing control. They both knew that Sword Douluo's father had once sought a higher realm and challenged Spirit Hall's Qian Daoliu, only to die at Qian Daoliu's hands. Sword Douluo thus bore a deep hatred for Spirit Hall and the Qian Clan.
Bone Douluo then spoke to Sword Douluo.
"Uncle Sword, let it go. We should think about how the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect ought to handle this matter."
"Yes, Uncle Sword. Spirit Hall now has these two individuals. What should the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect do? Spirit Hall's older generation has Qian Daoliu, its middle generation has Bibi Dong, the Pope with Twin Martial Souls, and now there is a twenty-year-old Soul Saint and a fifteen-year-old Soul Emperor. If they are allowed to grow, Spirit Hall will gain two more Qian Daolius."
Ning Fengzhi spoke up as well.
Hearing this, Sword Douluo immediately said.
"Then we should strike directly and eliminate them. Only a genius who survives to grow up is a true genius."
Bone Douluo nodded in agreement.
Ning Fengzhi then said.
"Uncle Sword, Uncle Bone, of course I understand what you mean. But do you think Spirit Hall would fail to send people to protect those two? If we fail to eliminate them and leave Spirit Hall with leverage against us, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will face Spirit Hall's retaliation."
Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo naturally agreed with this. They both wanted to personally protect Ning Rongrong, much less Spirit City, with its vast resources.
But they were unwilling to give up so easily. After all, this opportunity might come only once.
Just as the three were still pondering, a guard's voice came from outside.
"Sect Master, two Elders, the guards outside the sect have sent word. Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect Master Yu Yuanzhen has arrived with Yu Luomian and Heaven Dou Empire Prince Xue Qinghe."
Hearing this, Ning Fengzhi glanced at Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo before asking.
"Sect Master Yu and Qinghe have come? Why have they come to see me at a time like this? Could it also be because of those two from Spirit Hall?"
Bone Douluo replied.
"Most likely. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect received the information; they may have received it as well."
Sword Douluo spoke at this moment.
"Who cares whether that's the reason? Have them come in first, then we'll talk."
After saying this, Sword Douluo called out toward the door.
"What are you standing around for? Hurry and invite the three of them in."
And so, after the time it took to burn an incense stick, six people were seated around a table in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's main hall, each with tea before them.
They were Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, Bone Douluo, Yu Yuanzhen, Yu Luomian, and Xue Qinghe.
Ning Fengzhi then asked Yu Yuanzhen and Xue Qinghe.
"Sect Master Yu, Qinghe, what brings you here?"
Hearing this, Yu Yuanzhen and Xue Qinghe exchanged a glance. Seeing no need to pretend any longer, Xue Qinghe spoke to Ning Fengzhi.
"Teacher, I came because I received information that Spirit Hall's Qian Renxue and Tai Yi have left Spirit City to travel the continent. Both possess extraordinary talent. If they are allowed to grow, they will become a great problem for both the Heaven Dou Empire and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. And Teacher, you know that people like them are generally protected. The Heaven Dou Empire has no Title Douluo-level experts, so I have come on behalf of the Heaven Dou Empire to ask for your help. Whatever the Heaven Dou Empire needs to do, just say the word. We will certainly provide our full support."
Yu Yuanzhen continued after hearing this.
"Sect Master Ning, I won't beat around the bush either. This is also why I came. You have seen Spirit City's wolfish ambitions over these years. A few years ago, even the Clear Sky Sect, one of the Upper Three Sects, was driven into seclusion. Now, only our two sects remain among the Upper Three Sects. If we do not join forces, then once Qian Renxue and Tai Yi grow up, we will become the next Clear Sky Sect."
"That is why Yu Luomian and I came to find you. You will provide support, while Sword Douluo, Bone Douluo, and I restrain the Title Douluos protecting those two. Finally, my younger brother Yu Luomian will deal with Qian Renxue and Tai Yi."
At this point, Yu Yuanzhen glanced at Xue Qinghe before continuing.
"And now the Heaven Dou Empire is involved as well. For the sake of caution, though the Heaven Dou Empire has no Title Douluos, it does have Soul Douluos. Have the Heaven Dou Empire send Soul Douluos to act alongside Yu Luomian. What do you think?"
