Background / History
Ning Fengzhi monitored events around Shrek Academy after Ning Rongrong enrolled there. Viewing Lin Yan as a talent worth controlling, he first intended to use Rongrong to recruit him; if that failed, he was prepared to eliminate him. He considered Rongrong’s personal feelings secondary to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect’s interests. 44 45
As part of this plan, Ning Fengzhi sent Gu Rong to assassinate Wen Ruan, intending to remove her and create an opening for Ning Rongrong to become involved with Lin Yan. Gu Rong instead encountered Tang Hao, was severely injured, and lost much of his combat capability. 63 77
Following Gu Rong’s crippling, Ning Fengzhi rejected Chen Xin’s proposal to use the sect’s ninety-thousand-year left leg bone to restore Gu Rong’s missing limb. He chose instead to gamble the sect’s future on recruiting Lin Yan, reasoning that Lin Yan could eventually surpass Chen Xin and elevate the sect under Ning Rongrong’s leadership. 63 64
Ning Fengzhi later approached Lin Yan openly at the Crown Prince’s Mansion. He arranged a banquet, offered cultivation herbs and a soul bone, promised assistance in hunting a soul beast, and sent Ning Rongrong to stay with Lin Yan. 66 67 70
Lin Yan used Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin as part of a force assembled to hunt the Sky Azure Bull Python. Ning Fengzhi initially concealed his anger after learning that the target was a hundred-thousand-year soul beast, then supported the operation after judging the combined group capable of succeeding. 72 73
After witnessing Lin Yan’s powerful soul bones and exceptional growth, Ning Fengzhi considered killing Lin Yan’s group to seize the treasures for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Chen Xin persuaded him not to attack while Dugu Bo, Ye Rou’er, and Xue Qinghe were present. 75 76
At the Crown Prince’s Mansion, Ning Fengzhi realized Lin Yan had known about the plot against Wen Ruan and had manipulated the situation in return. The realization that his recruitment scheme, soul-bone investment, and use of Ning Rongrong had all failed caused him to cough up blood in rage before withdrawing with Chen Xin and Rongrong. 77
Personality
Ning Fengzhi maintains a gentle, accommodating public manner even when negotiating from a position of distrust or hostility. He presents himself as warm and reasonable, including toward Lin Yan after realizing Lin Yan had used him in the Sky Azure Bull Python hunt. 66 76
Behind this facade, he is calculating and highly ambitious. He treats alliances, resources, and even family as assets in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect’s long-term strategy. His willingness to prioritize Lin Yan over Gu Rong’s recovery—and to send Ning Rongrong to Lin Yan despite Chen Xin’s objections—demonstrates his belief that personal sacrifice is justified by the sect’s future. 44 63 70
Ning Fengzhi is also capable of greed and ruthlessness. After seeing Lin Yan’s hundred-thousand-year-level soul bones, he considered murdering Lin Yan and his allies to claim the treasures as sect inheritances. 75 76
