Ning Fengzhi's Solicitation, Qian Renxue Can No Longer Hold Back!

"Uncle Ning, you mean Zi Ji?"

"She is a poor girl I happened to save by the roadside in the Star Dou Forest."

"She was homeless, so I took her in as a maid. I brought her out this time to let her see the world."

Qin Jiuxiao naturally draped an arm around Zi Ji's waist and introduced her as a matter of course.

However, it was clear that Zi Ji's body stiffened.

His hand pinched her waist lightly, a reminder not to give them away.

Only then did Zi Ji control her body to relax, nodding reluctantly at Ning Fengzhi.

Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong exchanged a subtle glance, naturally knowing this was just Qin Jiuxiao's way of brushing them off.

As if one could just pick up a Title Douluo by the side of the road.

They wished they could find one too.

But since Qin Jiuxiao did not want to say, pressing further would seem impolite.

Moreover, seeing that this Title Douluo seemed to have no hostility toward Qin Jiuxiao—and was even being handled by him—their worries lessened somewhat.

The group soon arrived at a pavilion in the middle of a lake.

The pavilion was simple and rustic, showing that its owner was quite low-key.

Lotus flowers were planted in the pond, swaying gently as the breeze passed, carrying a sense of being untainted by the mud.

"Jiuxiao, Teacher, over here."

Xue Qinghe beckoned to them and waved for the surrounding maids to withdraw.

Qin Jiuxiao and the others walked into the pavilion and sat down separately, a cup of clear tea already poured in front of each of them.

He picked up his teacup and took a light sip. The fragrance of the tea overflowed; it was slightly bitter upon entry, but left a lingering sweetness after careful savoring.

"Good tea!"

Qin Jiuxiao raised an eyebrow in praise.

"If you like it, Jiuxiao, I will have someone pack some for you to take back later."

Xue Qinghe chuckled.

After everyone had tasted the tea and refreshments, Xue Qinghe finally brought up the real business.

She looked at Qin Jiuxiao, her eyes flickering.

"Jiuxiao, as far as I know, you only obtained your second spirit ring not long ago."

"Logically, with your innate full spirit power, you should have obtained your spirit rings long ago. Did you encounter any problems?"

"If there is an issue, I can provide you with some help."

Qin Jiuxiao's hand holding the teacup paused; he had not expected her to have been keeping an eye on him all these years.

If she was, what about the others? It seemed his father's worries were not groundless.

However, he no longer had anything to hide.

His strength was advancing by leaps and bounds, and with Zi Ji's protection, he did not fear even facing a Title Douluo head-on.

If he couldn't win, he could always use Teleportation to escape.

Furthermore, exposing some of his talents now would help him gain some leverage.

The key was how to phrase it.

"Your Highness, it is not that I did not want to obtain my second spirit ring, but rather that some things are not convenient to expose."

"If they were revealed, I fear my Qin family would never know peace again."

Qin Jiuxiao's words left much to the imagination, causing Xue Qinghe and Ning Fengzhi to fall into a brainstorming session instantly.

"Jiuxiao, if you encounter any trouble, your uncle will not sit idly by."

"You can tell us; perhaps we can help you solve it."

Ning Fengzhi spoke unhurriedly. Although he was very eager to know the answer, his tone remained calm and composed.

Clearly, his cultivation of temperament was extremely well-honed.

Qin Jiuxiao feigned a difficult expression, as if he had made a great decision.

He looked at the people in front of him with a "go big or go home" attitude.

"Your Highness and Uncle Ning are my own people. Since that is the case, I will no longer hide it from you."

As he spoke, his mind stirred, and he revealed his two great spirit rings.

Two black spirit rings slowly emerged around him. The phantoms of the Heavenly Horned Ant and the Thunder Emperor carried immense pressure, and there was even the faint, indistinct cry of a third spirit ring.

Upon hearing this cry, Xue Qinghe clenched her fists tightly, desperately suppressing the Angel Martial Soul within her.

Meanwhile, Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong gasped in shock.

"This is the reason why I delayed obtaining my second spirit ring."

"If people learned that my first and second spirit rings were both ten-thousand-year rings, I fear many factions would secretly have me captured for research."

"My Qin family would also be implicated."

"So, I could only obtain my spirit rings as late as possible so that others would not pay too much attention to me."

"Before I have the absolute strength to protect myself, exposing this secret is very dangerous."

Ning Fengzhi and Xue Qinghe exchanged a glance, their expressions quite complex.

He nodded in approval.

"Jiuxiao, at such a young age, you possess such mature judgment; it truly surprises your uncle."

"You did the right thing. Without the ability to protect yourself, exposing this secret would put you in danger."

"However, after today, your uncle will have the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect protect you in secret. You need not worry about these problems anymore."

But Qin Jiuxiao waved his hand.

"Uncle Ning, now that I have exposed this secret, besides the fact that you are people I can trust, I also have the ability to protect myself."

He turned to look at Gu Rong and smiled. "Grandpa Gu should know better than anyone that my physical strength is very high, my physical fitness far exceeds my peers, and I also have space-type spirit skills."

"Even if I encounter some troublesome opponents, I can escape even if I cannot win."

Seeing Ning Fengzhi look at him, Gu Rong stroked his chin and nodded.

"The Qin boy's physical fitness is indeed something I have never seen before. Even the Huyan Family and the Yu Clan, who are famous for their defense, cannot compare to the Qin boy's physical fitness at this age."

"Based on physical strength alone, he could probably fight a Spirit King."

"Added to that his space-type spirit skills, it would be very easy for him to escape even if he met a Spirit Emperor."

Gu Rong was a level 95 Super Douluo; his words were naturally not spoken without cause.

Ning Fengzhi immediately began to consider the benefits; this was a merchant's instinct.

Now that the secret of Qin Jiuxiao was known not only to their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect but also to Xue Qinghe, there was no possibility of monopolizing him.

Xue Qinghe must have already set her sights on Qin Jiuxiao and would surely spare no effort to win him over.

Therefore, the most beneficial approach now was investment.

Such a monster whose first ring was ten-thousand-year level would at least be a Super Douluo in the future.

Even a level 99 Limit Douluo or reaching the hundredth level to become a god was not impossible.

If the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had the protection of a god, it would surely continue for another ten thousand years.

Thinking of this, Ning Fengzhi's breathing became somewhat rapid.

Even his years of calm cultivation could not suppress it.

And to win over a god, simple investment was not enough; he had to increase the stakes.

Almost instantly, he thought of his daughter, Ning Rongrong.

Qin Jiuxiao and his daughter knew each other and had a foundation of affection. If he could let their relationship progress further, winning over Qin Jiuxiao would definitely not be a problem.

Moreover, with Qin Jiuxiao's talent, he was the most suitable candidate to be Rongrong's fiancé.

Almost at the same time, Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong exchanged a glance, both seeing the meaning in the other's eyes.

He wore a smile, his attitude much more enthusiastic than before.

"Don't worry, Jiuxiao. Feel free to obtain your spirit rings boldly in the future; your uncle will not let anyone threaten your safety."

"Also, Rongrong is currently in Soto City, attending Shrek Academy."

"You young people should interact more; your uncle is very supportive of you two."

Xue Qinghe did not stop Ning Fengzhi's solicitation.

Her mind was still on the cry that had come from Qin Jiuxiao.

It seemed she could no longer suppress her Martial Soul.

She took a deep breath and gave an apologetic smile to Ning Fengzhi and the others.

"Teacher, Jiuxiao, I suddenly remembered I have urgent matters to attend to, so I must excuse myself."

Immediately after, she looked at Qin Jiuxiao and handed him a token.

"Jiuxiao, this is my Crown Prince Token. With this token in the future, you can mobilize some troops and enter or leave the palace freely."

"We didn't get to chat to our heart's content this time; let's find a time to meet again."

Qin Jiuxiao took the token and nodded. Having just made contact with this little angel, there was no need to rush the progress.

After Xue Qinghe left the pavilion, she quickly returned to her Crown Prince Palace.

She activated a mechanism and walked into a secret chamber behind a bookshelf.

Finally, she no longer had to suppress herself, and she restored her original appearance as Qian Renxue.

The Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul appeared behind her, releasing endless light.
