What? A Childhood Engagement??

His voice startled Ning Rongrong so badly that her finger twitched, and she instantly gg'd.

Ning Rongrong puffed out her cheeks, ran over, and gave Ning Fengzhi a rocket headbutt.

"Hmph! Bad Daddy! My Little Kirby lost because of you!"

Ning Fengzhi smiled and rubbed the top of her head, his tone softening. "Daddy was wrong. Don't be mad, my little princess. I'll play with you later, all right?"

Ning Rongrong turned her head away and refused flatly. "No. I want to play with Brother Yun."

The smile on Ning Fengzhi's face stiffened. He suddenly felt as if his precious little padded jacket was letting in a draft.

He took a deep breath and suppressed the displeasure in his heart.

Ning Fengzhi coaxed her gently. "Be good, Rongrong. Your Brother Yun and I have important matters to discuss. Go play with Xiao Wu for a while first, all right?"

"Fine... But you're not allowed to talk for too long!"

Ning Rongrong reluctantly reined in her little temper, obediently took Xiao Wu's hand, and turned to leave, making space for the two of them.

Ye Yun casually set down the game console in his hand. With a hint of confusion in his eyes, he took the initiative to ask, "Uncle Ning, you came to see me. Is there a problem with the potion?"

"Quite the opposite. Your potion was extremely effective. Uncle Gu's injuries have already healed completely."

Ning Fengzhi shook his head lightly, his expression turning somewhat solemn as he said slowly, "I came to see you today because of Tang San.

"You should know that he is Tang Hao's son, correct?"

Ye Yun nodded.

"Then do you have some plan in keeping him by your side, young friend? Could it be that you want to win over the Clear Sky Sect?"

Ning Fengzhi was somewhat worried. After all, the technology of Universe Continent was extraordinarily advanced; even getting a few scraps from the edges would be enough to make a sect incomparably powerful.

He had originally thought the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would get the lion's share, but now a Clear Sky Sect had suddenly appeared. If they came out of seclusion because of this, wouldn't the title of number one sect fall back into their hands?

"You've misunderstood, Uncle Ning. We don't think much of that group of brutes from the Clear Sky Sect. Besides, I don't like Tang Hao as a person.

"You should know about Tang Hao and his wife, Ah Yin, right?"

Ning Fengzhi nodded slightly. The incident back then had caused quite a stir. It would have been difficult not to know.

"Then did you never notice that something about it was off?"

Ning Fengzhi furrowed his brows tightly. After pondering for a while, he shook his head.

"You should know that a hundred-thousand-year transformed soul beast can only truly become human after reaching level 70, yet when Ah Yin was pregnant, Tang Hao took her strolling around in public.

"If it were you, would you do that? Knowing full well how tempting a hundred-thousand-year soul ring and soul bone are to soul masters, he still let her be exposed under Spirit Hall's gaze. And Tang Hao just so happened to be stuck at level 89, able to break through at any time.

"Also, when they were being hunted, not only did he not hide in a soul beast forest, he kept running in the opposite direction. Do you think that makes sense?"

Hiss...

Ye Yun's words struck Ning Fengzhi's mind like a thunderbolt!

What had originally seemed to him like an old matter that naturally followed its course now, upon careful recollection, was filled everywhere with strangeness and discord.

Ning Fengzhi's pupils shrank slightly, his face full of shock as he blurted out, "You mean... everything back then was done deliberately? Tang Hao intentionally drove Ah Yin into a desperate situation and forced her to sacrifice herself for love?"

"That's right."

Ye Yun's tone was indifferent as he continued tearing away Tang Hao's hypocritical mask.

"And Tang Hao is an extreme sect slave. In his heart, there has only ever been the Clear Sky Sect. All these years, he took Tang San into seclusion, yet treated Tang San like a dog, making him go hungry and cold, and even having him take care of Tang Hao every day.

"This is the only bloodline Ah Yin left behind after sacrificing her life for him, yet this is how he treated his deceased wife's child. Uncle Ning, do you think this is what a man who feels guilty and lost the love of his life would do?"

Every last remaining filter Ning Fengzhi had for Tang Hao shattered completely at that moment, vanishing without a trace.

He had never imagined that the Clear Sky Douluo who had shaken the continent with his fame and stood in such glory back then was, at his core, such a vile and hypocritical petty man!

In the next instant, he fully understood Ye Yun's intention.

The other party clearly planned to let Tang San learn the entire truth of what happened back then, see Tang Hao's true colors, and ultimately have Tang San avenge his mother, Ah Yin, who had died so tragically.

Having thought through the key points, Ning Fengzhi's expression suddenly became incomparably solemn. He asked seriously, "This matter is of great importance. Do you need me to step forward now and tell Tang San the whole truth?"

Ye Yun shook his head lightly.

His Path of [The Hunt] had not yet fully opened. The timing was still far from ripe, and it was not yet time to reveal all his trump cards.

"Not for now. Wait a little longer."

Ye Yun's gaze was calm as he said slowly, "For the moment, you only need to guide Little San slightly from the shadows and quietly plant a seed in his heart—a seed of suspicion toward Tang Hao and toward the events of the past."

Ning Fengzhi nodded slightly. His gaze toward Ye Yun was full of admiration, and he sighed inwardly with emotion.

At such an age, yet with schemes and mentality far beyond his years. This child's future accomplishments would absolutely be limitless!

Moreover, Ye Yun's martial soul was even more terrifying. With just one shot, he had been able to severely injure Uncle Gu, a Titled Douluo. Such an ability was simply inconceivable.

At that thought, an extremely bold idea suddenly surfaced in Ning Fengzhi's mind.

Hiss... Why not simply arrange a betrothal right now?

With that, he could firmly bind the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and Ye Yun together, adding another supreme safeguard for the sect.

If Ye Yun and Rongrong had children in the future, and if they could inherit his peerless martial soul, then the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would surely flourish once more, enduring for ten thousand years without decline!

The more Ning Fengzhi thought about it, the more feasible it seemed.

Rongrong clung to Ye Yun, and if the two of them grew up together after this, they could be considered childhood sweethearts. Their relationship would be excellent, and he imagined she definitely would not refuse. Everything was for the sect's great cause. This was absolutely the safest choice!

After sorting out his thoughts, Ning Fengzhi gave two light coughs, his expression carrying a hint of probing as he slowly said, "Ahem, young friend Ye Yun, what do you think of our Rongrong?"

Ye Yun smiled frankly and answered casually, "Rongrong's pretty good. Lively and cheerful, innocent and adorable."

The current Ning Rongrong had not yet developed that lawless little demoness personality she would have in the future. At most, she was a little girl who was bored with nothing to do and went around looking for fun.

So Ye Yun's impression of her was all right. Taking care of kids was still taking care of kids—looking after one was the same as looking after two.

Seeing that Ye Yun had a decent impression of his daughter, Ning Fengzhi continued.

"Then, young friend, are you satisfied with Rongrong's looks?"

"Hm?? They're pretty good. She'll definitely be a great beauty in the future... But Uncle Ning, why are you asking all this?"

Ye Yun sensed that something was off. Why did this sound so much like the probing lines families used when pressuring someone to get married?

He and Ning Rongrong were only six-year-old kids right now!

Criminal. Way too criminal!

"What Uncle means is, let Rongrong and you make a childhood betrothal first. Look, you like Rongrong's personality, and you don't dislike her appearance either. Wouldn't that be making us even closer?

"Think about it. When the time comes, the entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will be Rongrong's dowry. After you two have children, you can bring Rongrong and stay here if you want, or go back to Universe Continent if you want. Uncle will help you look after the children."
