(Twin martial souls, combining control and offense in one.)
(His temperament is still unknown, but under the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's guidance, it shouldn't be too bad.)
(This little fellow is good-looking, too. Rongrong wouldn't be losing out by marrying him.)
Ning Fengzhi looked at Chen Ci and thought this. Then he smiled, like a gentle spring breeze, and said:
"Little Chen Ci, do you want a wife?"
Chen Ci froze for a moment. "Huh?"
(That direct?)
(As far as I remember, Ning Fengzhi shouldn't have any other children.)
(And with my twin martial souls and innate full soul power, the only one worthy of me is Ning Rongrong, the sole person in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's history to possess innate rank nine soul power.)
(Besides, with that status, drawing on the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's resources will be even easier.)
Chen Ci nodded and said:
"I'll leave it all to you, Sect Master Ning."
Ning Fengzhi smiled and said:
"Calling me Sect Master is too distant. Just call me Uncle Ning from now on."
"Yes, Uncle Ning."
Seeing that Ning Fengzhi intended to arrange an engagement between Ning Rongrong and Chen Ci, Chen Xin was in quite a good mood.
This truly was a matter that offered the best of both worlds. Although the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect possessed the world's foremost support-type martial soul, it lacked offensive capability and had to bind itself to power attack system Soul Masters.
Clearly, no one in the world was more suitable than Chen Ci.
Furthermore, once Chen Ci and Ning Rongrong were engaged, he could also receive the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's support, greatly increasing his combat strength.
Under Ning Fengzhi's lead, the three walked to a side hall in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Unlike the sect's other buildings, this side hall had a little less solemn grandeur and a little more of a homely feel.
If I'm not mistaken, this might be where Ning Fengzhi's family usually lives.
Ning Fengzhi pushed open the doors, and a girl who looked carved from jade, with a bold personality, came running over and threw herself into his arms.
"Daddy, Grandpa Jian, what brings you here?"
Ning Fengzhi caught Ning Rongrong securely in his arms, his eyes brimming with doting affection.
"Can't Daddy come see Rongrong without having something to do?"
"Of course you can!"
Ning Rongrong poked her head out of Ning Fengzhi's embrace and called to Chen Xin in a sugary-sweet voice:
"Grandpa Jian!"
Hearing her call him Grandpa Jian, Chen Xin's heart practically melted. He casually took out a Soul Tool and handed it to Ning Rongrong, saying dotingly:
"Yes, Rongrong is such a good girl."
Ning Rongrong took the Soul Tool and put it away, saying:
"I knew Grandpa Jian treated me best."
Then she looked left and right, as though searching for something, looking a little disappointed.
"Where's Grandpa Gu? Didn't Grandpa Gu come?
"I really miss him."
Chen Xin stroked Ning Rongrong's head and said:
"Your Grandpa Gu is on his way."
Ning Fengzhi set Ning Rongrong on the ground and teased:
"You don't miss your Grandpa Gu. You're wondering what present your Grandpa Gu will bring you, aren't you?"
With her thoughts exposed, Ning Rongrong grew angry out of embarrassment.
"Daddy's mean! I wasn't thinking that at all!
"I'm never talking to you again.
"I just haven't seen Grandpa Gu in so long. I like Grandpa Gu best!"
Speak of Cao Cao, and Cao Cao arrived.
Bone Douluo Gu Rong arrived at the side hall just then and laughed heartily.
"Hahaha, I knew Rongrong liked me best.
"Chen Xin, did you hear that? Rongrong said it herself. She likes me best."
Hearing this, Chen Xin deliberately frowned and pretended to be unhappy as he said to Ning Rongrong:
"Rongrong, if you like your Grandpa Gu better, then Grandpa Jian will have to take back that Soul Tool I just gave you."
Ning Rongrong grew a little nervous at his words and clutched the Soul Tool tightly.
"No! Grandpa Jian already gave it to Rongrong, so it belongs to Rongrong. Grandpa Jian can't take it back.
"Grandpa Jian and Grandpa Gu are both my favorite grandpas. What I just said doesn't count!"
"Hahaha!"
Chen Xin, Gu Rong, and Ning Fengzhi all laughed heartily. Seeing Ning Rongrong's adorable manner, Chen Ci couldn't help laughing too.
It could truly be said that all the guests were merry.
"Hahaha, all right, it doesn't count. What you just said doesn't count."
Gu Rong stroked Ning Rongrong's head dotingly and placed something in her arms.
Having received Gu Rong's gift, Ning Rongrong was in quite a good mood. Only then did she notice that a boy had also come along with Ning Fengzhi and the others.
The boy had bright eyes and gleaming white teeth, sword-like brows and starry eyes, and handsome, graceful features. He was very good-looking.
Seeing Ning Rongrong look his way, Chen Ci looked over too.
Meeting Chen Ci's gaze, Ning Rongrong immediately turned her head away, a little shy.
Seeing Ning Rongrong's reaction, Ning Fengzhi smiled.
Gu Rong also noticed Chen Ci at this point-or perhaps he had already noticed him when he arrived.
But he hadn't paid him any mind, because he didn't yet know who Chen Ci was.
Gu Rong got straight to the point and asked:
"Fengzhi, Chen Xin, what did you call me here to discuss?"
Ning Fengzhi wasted no time and said directly:
"Uncle Gu, this child's name is Chen Ci. He has twin martial souls and innate full soul power, and Uncle Jian has already taken him as his final disciple."
(Twin martial souls and innate full soul power?)
(If Chen Xin accepted him as a disciple, his martial soul should be a sword.)
Gu Rong looked Chen Ci over a few times, then looked at Ning Rongrong, gaining some understanding. He said:
"Could it be that you called me here to..."
Ning Fengzhi nodded and said:
"That's right. I intend to betroth Rongrong to Chen Ci and arrange a marriage between them."
(At the same time, Rongrong possesses innate rank nine soul power, something unprecedented in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. She may be able to break the sect's fate of being unable to advance beyond rank seventy-nine and become the first Titled Douluo of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's lineage.)
(And we happen to have found a boy with twin martial souls who combines control and slaughter in one. Perhaps this is fate's arrangement.)
(The heavy burden of revitalizing the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will fall on their shoulders.)
Ning Fengzhi conveyed these last few remarks to Chen Xin and Gu Rong using his spiritual power, without letting Chen Ci or Ning Rongrong hear them.
He didn't want Chen Ci and Rongrong to bear too much pressure at this point.
Gu Rong and Chen Xin exchanged a glance, and Gu Rong said:
"Rongrong is your daughter, and Chen Ci has sufficient talent and potential. Naturally, how to arrange things is up to you.
"But shouldn't we ask Rongrong's opinion?
"This concerns her lifelong marriage, after all."
But as soon as the words left his mouth, Gu Rong knew asking would be pointless.
When Ning Fengzhi had said he would betroth her to Chen Ci, Ning Rongrong had already been unable to resist stealing a few more glances at him.
(Is he the person I'll marry in the future?)
(He is pretty good-looking, but he doesn't look like much of a fighter.)
(Can he protect me?)
(No, the person I, Ning Rongrong, marry can't merely be able to protect me!)
(He has to fight every Soul Master under heaven and become the world's number one power attack system Soul Master!)
(He absolutely has to be the strongest power attack system Soul Master in the entire world!)
