The lingering rays of the setting sun fell across the leaves of Sunset Forest. Swaying gently in the breeze, they rustled softly.
In Sunset Forest, Ning Fengzhi and the others, having just escaped a life-and-death crisis, looked at Jun Lin's group with gratitude filling their eyes.
Then, seeing that Hong Ying had already begun absorbing her Soul Ring, Ning Fengzhi smiled at Jun Lin and the others.
He solemnly cupped his hands and spoke first. "Thank you for saving us today. We are deeply grateful. This kindness is beyond words."
"I am Ning Fengzhi of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. The seven of us are students of Heaven Dou Royal Academy. If you had not intervened in time today, I fear the seven of us would have been in grave danger." Ning Fengzhi expressed his gratitude once more.
Jun Lin's lips curled slightly, revealing a sly smile. "The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect? Brother Ning, you are too polite. We merely happened to be here. I am Jun Lin. These two are Ah Yin and my sister, Linglong." As he spoke, Jun Lin deliberately pointed at Ah Yin and Shui Linglong.
Ah Yin and Shui Linglong stood quietly at Jun Lin's side, silently watching the two converse.
Ning Fengzhi studied Jun Lin's group with blazing eyes, countless thoughts flashing through his mind. He could not help but secretly marvel, Brother Jun is so young, yet he possesses such extraordinary strength and courage. He truly is exceptional. I wonder where the three of them come from, and why they are in Sunset Forest?
Jun Lin's expression turned strange upon hearing that. As expected of the future sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
He had recovered from the threat of death so quickly, then used the excuse of thanking them to probe for information.
Jun Lin then shook his head slightly. "The three of us have no fixed home. We happened upon Brother Ning's misfortune in Sunset Forest today; it was fate. Seeing Brother Ning in danger, we naturally could not stand idly by."
Ning Fengzhi cupped his hands again. "No matter what, I, Ning Fengzhi, will remember your life-saving grace. If you ever have need of me in the future, just speak. I will certainly do everything in my power to repay today's kindness."
"Yes, Brother Jun. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can come find us in Heaven Dou City," the girl named Xiao Li said.
"Exactly, exactly! If you come to Heaven Dou City in the future, you must let us know so we can properly host you."
The others also spoke up one after another, inviting them.
Jun Lin nodded slightly. "Brother Ning, you all think too highly of us. We merely acted as we wished and seek no reward."
"Brother Jun is truly righteous," Ning Fengzhi said with emotion. "But a life-saving debt must be repaid. I, Ning Fengzhi, am not an ungrateful man."
As he spoke, Ning Fengzhi took an exquisitely crafted jade pendant from his robes and handed it to Jun Lin. "Brother Jun, this jade pendant is a token of my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. If you ever need anything in the future, bring it to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Everyone in our sect will certainly do our utmost to help."
Seeing Ning Fengzhi's resolute attitude, Jun Lin accepted the jade pendant. "Then thank you, Brother Ning."
"Jun..." Just as Ning Fengzhi was about to say something else, a powerful aura suddenly approached at high speed. A figure came racing over like lightning.
"Fengzhi, your uncle is here! Are you and Ying'er all right?!"
The newcomer was Ning Fengzhi's uncle, Dong Liu. His gaze was sharp, and his tall, upright frame resembled a towering tree. Powerful pressure radiated from his body, giving him an air of steadiness and reliability. His dark robe fluttered lightly in the breeze, adding to his imposing presence.
Yet his eyes were filled with gentleness and paternal affection, a light unique to a father. Especially when his gaze fell upon Hong Ying, that tenderness became so intense it seemed ready to drip like water.
At a glance, he saw Ning Fengzhi standing there safe and sound, as well as Jun Lin, Ah Yin, and Shui Linglong nearby.
Seeing his uncle, Ning Fengzhi's face lit up with joy, and he hurried forward. "Uncle, you finally came. If we had not encountered these benefactors today, we likely would have been in grave danger."
"Greetings, Your Spear Eminence." x5
Dong Liu nodded slightly upon hearing this, his gaze falling on Jun Lin, Ah Yin, and Shui Linglong as he carefully examined them for a while. Then, when he saw Shui Linglong, he seemed to notice something. A trace of surprise flashed through his eyes. "And these three are?"
Ning Fengzhi hurriedly introduced them. "Uncle, this is Jun Lin, Brother Jun. These are Miss Ah Yin and Miss Linglong. When I encountered danger, they stepped forward out of righteousness and saved our lives."
Dong Liu cupped his hands toward Jun Lin, Ah Yin, and Shui Linglong. "Thank you for saving them. I, Dong Liu, will remember this kindness."
What powerful Soul Power. It is no weaker than Sister Linglong's, Jun Lin muttered inwardly.
Ever since discovering Ning Fengzhi's identity, Jun Lin had already realized who the uncle Ning Fengzhi mentioned was.
The current supreme elder and protector of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, a level ninety-six Titled Douluo. His title was Spear, and he was known across the continent as the Spear Immortal Douluo. Before Gu Rong and Chen Xin joined the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, he had been the previous sect-protecting Douluo.
Jun Lin returned the salute as well. "Senior, you flatter me. I merely happened to be here. Saving Brother Ning and the others was nothing more than a small effort."
Dong Liu looked at Jun Lin and Ah Yin, secretly praising them. To possess such courage and strength at such a young age, they were certainly no ordinary people. He then asked, "May I ask who your master is?"
Jun Lin was stunned for a moment, then shook his head. "The three of us have no particular master."
Dong Liu nodded thoughtfully. "I see. Our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will certainly repay your life-saving grace. I am Dong Liu, a supreme elder of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. My title is Spear, though some people prefer to call me Old Six Douluo. If you ever need anything in the future, come find me."
"Uh... Old... Old Six?" Even Jun Lin, who had seen quite a lot, was left speechless by those words. He could not help but mutter inwardly.
However, just then, a figure emerged from nearby.
It was clearly Hong Ying, who had just finished absorbing her Soul Ring. Her glossy black hair was simply tied up, with several loose strands fluttering softly in the breeze. Excitement flushed her delicate face. When Hong Ying saw Dong Liu, she hurriedly ran over and said, "Father, why are you here?"
The moment Dong Liu saw Hong Ying, the sternness on his face instantly vanished, replaced by boundless doting affection. He hurried forward a few steps and looked her up and down as though inspecting a precious treasure. "Ying'er, you finally finished absorbing the Soul Ring. How were the results this time?"
Hong Ying said excitedly, "Father, I successfully absorbed my fourth Soul Ring, and my strength has improved quite a bit. Hehe, I feel like I can take on ten people now!"
