The day after reaching an agreement with Ning Fengzhi, Ning Bei made another trip to the Imperial Palace and told Qian Renxue his thoughts.
"It really isn't very suitable for Spirit Hall to come forward and recruit the Single Attribute Sects. If Uncle Ning can succeed, that would be for the best. It'll save us quite a bit of effort."
If she could cut away all of the Clear Sky Sect's wings without resorting to slaughter, Little Angel was still willing to try, even if it would take some time.
"But the Strength Clan is extremely loyal to Tang Hao. I imagine we'll still need to take action."
"I understand. Just do your best."
Ning Bei was not worried about Ning Fengzhi's negotiating ability. As he saw it, aside from the Strength Clan, at least two of the other three clans would accept the olive branch extended by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
"By the way, what's the situation with Tang San right now?"
Hearing Ning Bei mention Tang San, a strange look flashed across Qian Renxue's face.
"Those Worthless Aristocrats I sent did cause Tang San quite a bit of trouble for the first few days, but he seems to have gotten in touch with that cheap little sister of mine. Now no one dares offend him openly."
"Sister?"
Ning Bei felt unfamiliar with that form of address. How come he did not know Little Angel had a sister?
"Xue Qinghe's."
At that, Ning Bei understood instantly. So that was the kind of sister she meant! He had thought he had gotten half a butt for free.
"Are the two of them close?"
"Not really. They just exchange knowledge about music from time to time. Tang San is highly wary of the imperial family. You should know that."
