First Meeting Ning Rongrong

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was located not far outside Heaven Dou City. As one of the Upper Three Sects, its wealth could be described as rivaling that of a nation.

Early in the morning, Bofeng set out with several men. All of them were skilled hands who had once been influential figures within the Purple Pearl Pirate Group.

The cart was filled with treasures unseen anywhere on the continent. Of course, their primary purpose this time was to form an alliance.

Bofeng would be staying in Heaven Dou City for quite some time. He had previously toyed with Ju Hua Guan, and given Spirit Hall's habit of never letting things go, Ju Hua Guan certainly would not leave the matter alone.

They would not give up on a heaven-blessed talent like Nannan.

Before long, following the map his father had left behind, Bofeng arrived at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

The magnificent, imposing castle had a towering structure resembling a Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda at its center. It was no less luxurious than Heaven Dou City itself—truly the home of the wealthy.

At that moment, two disciples guarding the gates blocked Bofeng's path.

"Halt! This is the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Unauthorized people are forbidden from entering." ×2

Bofeng smiled. "My name is Bofeng. I have come to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to seek an audience with Sect Master Ning. Could you two please announce me?"

The two exchanged glances. One hurried inside while Bofeng waited outside.

In the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's rear garden, an eleven-year-old girl in a white floral dress was playing with Ning Fengzhi.

She was his only daughter, the jewel in his palm.

"Dad, I've already reached level twenty. When are you taking me to hunt Spirit Beasts?"

Ning Fengzhi affectionately stroked the girl's head and smiled. "Be good, Rongrong. How about having Bone Grandpa accompany you tomorrow? Dad still has sect matters to attend to."

The girl's expression immediately darkened. Her little lips puffed out as she complained, "Dad always lies to me! You said the same thing when I reached level ten. Now that I finally cultivated to level twenty, Dad, are you lying to Rongrong again?"

Ning Fengzhi could neither laugh nor cry as he hurriedly comforted her. "My little princess, Dad isn't lying to you. Today, Dad needs to meet a very important person. He'll be here soon."

It was not that Ning Fengzhi did not want to go. But as a Support Spirit Master—

Without Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo protecting him, was he really going there to hunt Spirit Beasts rather than to throw his life away?

"Who is this person? Can Dad tell me?" the girl asked.

"Uh..." Ning Fengzhi was rendered speechless.

When had this girl become so clever? As expected, a daughter took after her father.

"Sect Master!" At that moment, a disciple guarding the sect came to report.

Ning Fengzhi asked, "What is it?"

"Sect Master, someone outside wishes to see you."

"!"

Ning Fengzhi hurriedly smiled at his daughter. "Rongrong, see? Dad wasn't wrong. I really do have an important person to meet today."

Then Ning Fengzhi cleared his throat. "Who is the visitor? What does he want?"

His daughter: "..."

The sect disciple replied, "He did not state his purpose, only his name. He is called Bofeng."

"Bofeng?"

Why did that name sound so familiar?

!!!

"Oh! So it's him!" Ning Fengzhi remembered.

The young man he had seen yesterday, protected by a Titled Douluo with a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, had seemed extremely mysterious.

But why had he come to visit in person today?

Never mind. A visitor was a guest. Ning Fengzhi turned to his daughter and smiled. "Rongrong, go find Bone Grandpa. Dad will go receive the guest first."

As he spoke, Ning Fengzhi rubbed his daughter's head again before leaving the rear garden under the guidance of the sect disciple.

The girl's cheeks puffed up with anger. She hated that Bofeng had suddenly appeared and ruined the rare peaceful time between father and daughter.

As the Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Ning Fengzhi was constantly busy. He had finally found some free time, yet his daughter needed someone to keep her company.

Ning Fengzhi had even considered sending his only daughter out to gain experience, then secretly dispatching people to protect her.

The girl secretly followed after him, wanting to see what this Bofeng looked like. She would also write his name in her little notebook—how dare he make her father stop playing with her?

Bofeng had waited at the sect entrance for a long time. At last, Ning Fengzhi emerged under the disciple's guidance.

"I have long admired you, Sect Master Ning. Some matters delayed me yesterday, so we could only meet briefly. I came specifically to visit today, and I hope Sect Master Ning will not blame me." Bofeng clasped his hands and smiled.

Ning Fengzhi smiled and shook his head. "It is no matter. I was accompanying His Majesty on a hunt yesterday as well. Perhaps it was fate. May I ask what important business brings you here?"

Bofeng helplessly glanced around. Ning Fengzhi immediately understood and smiled wryly. "My oversight. Please."

"Please."

Bofeng entered the sect alongside Ning Fengzhi, while the men behind them slowly carried large chests inside.

The contents of those chests caught Ning Fengzhi's attention. Could Bofeng have come for some matter today?

Once inside the sect, it was practically a small city. It covered an enormous area, and its decor was grand and luxurious.

"Are you Bofeng?"

As they walked, an unfamiliar voice abruptly made Bofeng stop.

Bofeng turned and saw a girl in a white floral dress standing before him with her hands on her hips, her little lips puffed out in anger.

"That would be me. And you are?" Bofeng asked in confusion.

"Rongrong, don't be rude!" Ning Fengzhi explained with a wry smile, "This is my daughter, Ning Rongrong."

"Ning Rongrong?"

So she was Ning Rongrong. Looking at her arrogant, haughty manner, she did resemble a Little Witch somewhat.

"May I ask what Miss Rongrong wants with Bofeng?" Bofeng asked with a smile.

Ning Rongrong said angrily, "I hate you!"

Bofeng: "???"

What was going on? He had only just arrived at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. How had this Little Witch already set her sights on him?

If he remembered correctly, this was his first time meeting Ning Rongrong.

"Rongrong!" Ning Fengzhi frowned slightly, his tone carrying a hint of reprimand.

"Leave at once!" Ning Fengzhi said with a stern face.

In an instant, Ning Rongrong burst into tears and ran straight toward the distance.

Bofeng tentatively asked, "Sect Master Ning, perhaps you should go comfort her? Otherwise, your daughter might..."

"Sigh!" Ning Fengzhi let out a long sigh. "Let her go. I have spoiled Rongrong too much in the past. Please don't take it to heart."

"Of course not, of course not," Bofeng hurriedly replied.

The two then continued toward the main hall.

Meanwhile, as Ning Rongrong ran and cried, her resentment toward Bofeng rose to an entirely new level.

"Ow!"

She had been so distracted while running that when she bumped into someone, she simply sat on the ground and continued crying.

"Rongrong! What happened to you? Who dared make our little princess angry?"
