"Ahem, Sword Douluo, my real name is actually Jun Yi. I'm here today simply to bring my disciple to see the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."
Jun Yi pointed to Li Murong, who was dressed in blue and only 6 years old, beside him.
"To witness the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?"
Bone Douluo looked at Jun Yi with a puzzled expression, and then carefully examined Li Murong behind him. Suddenly, Bone Douluo had a strange sense of déjà vu. Although the child's appearance was completely unrelated to Ning Fengzhi, he always felt that the child was very similar to Ning Fengzhi. This feeling was very subtle, and he couldn't explain it himself.
"Our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is just a small sect, not even..."
" Uncle Jian, leave this to me. I believe Jun Yi meant no harm, otherwise I would have been dead already." Ning Fengzhi stepped forward, interrupting Sword Douluo.
"But..." Sword Douluo wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Ning Fengzhi again.
" Uncle Jian, you and Uncle Gu should go and rest. I'll handle things here myself."
Seeing Ning Fengzhi's nonchalant expression, Bone Douluo and Sword Douluo exchanged a glance, then turned and flew away.
" Jun Yi, this child is quite handsome. Is he your child?" Ning Fengzhi asked Li Murong curiously.
"He is my disciple, not my child," Jun Yi explained.
"I see. Come, please come inside." Ning Fengzhi smiled slightly and led the two into the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect for a tour.
Along the way, Ning Fengzhi led the two to visit all the attractions within the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and only at noon did he lead them to the main hall for a short rest.
" Jun Yi, what do you think of my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?"
Ning Fengzhi poured Jun Yi a cup of tea and asked with a smile.
"It's a very nice place," Li Murong replied casually.
"By the way, Young Sect Master Ning, I noticed the atmosphere in the sect is a bit strange. Red wedding couplets are posted everywhere. Is there some good news?" Jun Yi changed the subject for Li Murong.
Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi's face was filled with a happy smile. "To be honest, my child will be born soon, and I'll be a father soon."
"Father? Congratulations, Young Sect Master Ning."
Jun Yi hurriedly congratulated Ning Fengzhi, but suddenly he sensed something was amiss. He turned to look at Li Murong beside him, Li Murong eyes were also filled with confusion.
"I never expected that nearly fifteen years would pass since we parted, and that Sect Master Ning would have his own family. But there is something I don't understand. Didn't you promise Xiao Dong that you would marry Xu Rong'er after you reached the Soul Saint? Why now?" Jun Yi voiced the confusion that had been nagging at him and Li Murong.
Ning Fengzhi smiled and explained to Jun Yi, " Bibi Dong relented because she understands that Rong'er and I are deeply in love, and our genuine affection moved her. Rong'er and I were married three years ago."
"It was precisely because Rong'er became pregnant that Bibi Dong, in order to ensure her safety, brought her to the Papal Palace for protection. Bibi Dong even said that she had to be the first person to see Rong'er's child." Ning Fengzhi smiled helplessly.
"I see." Jun Yi nodded. It seemed that what he had done before had a butterfly effect, not only saving Xu Rong'er's life but also causing Ning Rongrong to be born ahead of schedule.
"Young Sect Master Ning, have you decided on the child's fate?" Li Murong suddenly asked from the side.
"I've already decided. The boy will be named Ning Yunxiang, and the girl will be named Ning Rongrong," Ning Fengzhi replied with a smile.
"Young Sect Master! Young Sect Master!"
A disciple of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect rushed into the main hall in a hurry.
"What's the matter that you're in such a hurry?" Ning Fengzhi asked the disciple.
"Young Sect Master, the Papal Palace has sent auspicious news: your wife has given birth to a baby girl. Please proceed to the Papal Palace immediately!" the disciple said.
"Really? Rong'er really gave birth? I... I'm a father now!" Ning Fengzhi
He asked, his face beaming with excitement.
Upon hearing this news, Li Murong instinctively clenched his fists.
"Yes, Young Sect Master, His Majesty Bone Douluo is already waiting outside. You may depart at any time..." the disciple confirmed. "Alright, I'll go right away!" Ning Fengzhi stood up and said to Jun Yi and Li Murong, "Excuse me, gentlemen, I need to go see my wife first."
"No need for all that trouble, I'll just take you there directly."
Jun Yi snapped his fingers, and the three of them appeared directly in the Papal Palace in the next second. Ning Fengzhi was dumbfounded. He looked around at the magnificent layout of the room and realized that this was the Papal Palace. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was at least tens of thousands of miles away from Spirit City. Jun Yi had brought him to this palace with just a snap of his fingers. Only a god could do this.
"Let's go, they're in that room."
Jun Yi pointed to a room Papal Palace, and then led Ning Fengzhi and Li Murong inside. Ning Fengzhi pushed open the door and saw several women surrounding the bed. Among them, Bibi Dong, dressed in Pope robes, was holding a newborn baby. He rushed to the bedside and held the hands of Xu Rong'er, who was leaning against the headboard and looked weak.
" Rong'er, you've worked so hard." Ning Fengzhi looked at his beloved, his eyes red.
Tears streamed down her face. "I'm alright, Fengzhi. Isn't our child adorable?" Xu Rong'er smiled at Ning Fengzhi and asked slowly. "Adorable, she must be the most adorable child." Ning Fengzhi embraced Xu Rong'er, his tears flowing even faster. On the other side, Li Murong's hands clenched into fists involuntarily. He was extremely excited, and he suppressed the urge to rush forward. Afraid of losing control of his emotions, he quietly left the room alone.
"It seems I made the right decision to entrust Rong'er to you. Ning Fengzhi, you're really something else. You've been in the room for so long and haven't even looked at your own daughter?" Pope Bibi Dong, who was holding the child, teased Ning Fengzhi.
Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, "Let me see our child."
Ning Fengzhi turned to look at Bibi Dong, Bibi Dong handed him the child in her arms. Ning Fengzhi carefully took the child and looked at the newborn girl. Her face was rosy, her skin was wrinkled, her eyelids were not fully developed, and her nose was slightly upturned. Fortunately, she had inherited the best features of both of them.
"She doesn't have a name yet. Didn't you say you'd already decided?" Xu Rong'er looked at her husband and said softly. "Let's call her Ning Rongrong," Ning Fengzhi said gently as he handed the baby to Xu Rong'er.
" Ning Rongrong, oh my, Ning Fengzhi, you really came up with a name so carelessly. Using Rong'er's name plus your surname, isn't that too simple?" Pope Bibi Dong teased.
