on one's last legs?
Some people always think they can turn the tables, but in reality, the only outcome of yielding is being squeezed dry and then discarded.
"But these things aren't about right or wrong, but about whether they can or can't be done," Xue Qinghe said.
Do you think Titled Douluo would talk to you about right and wrong?
"But I wasn't arguing right and wrong with Titled Douluo; I was arguing with you. Besides, wasn't it you who started by lecturing me? I was just expressing my opinion. You asked me, and I answered you, but you seem very dissatisfied that I have a different opinion from you," Xuan Ming said.
"You seem to be asking for my opinion, but actually you just want me to agree and obey."
"If that's the case, why bother asking?"
"Do you think I'm like those lackeys, doing whatever you say and then having to spout some empty boasts?"
"First of all, you know I'm not that kind of person. Secondly, if I really did something like that, would you still trust me?"
Xue Qinghe was speechless for a moment.
If Xuan Ming truly learns to feign compliance, then he'll be the one in a panic!
"Whether you stick your neck out or not, you'll get stabbed anyway. I really don't understand why you two like to do such contradictory things," Xuan Ming said.
Qian Renxue hoped he would back down, but if he actually did, Qian Renxue would never believe it; she would only think he was faking it.
But if he doesn't back down, Qian Renxue will force him to.
If you don't bow your head, you'll get beaten; if you bow your head, you'll die.
He maintained this attitude towards Qian Renxue not only because he himself was unwilling to back down, but also because he couldn't back down!
Qian Renxue treated him like a wild horse, not an equal. What she wanted was the thrill of taming him, and she wanted his resistance. If he groveled like those lackeys, Qian Renxue would lose interest in him and might even have murderous intent.
Because she might suspect that his current submission is a ploy to find an opportunity to throw her hard off his back!
Upon entering Seven Treasure City, Ning Fengzhi immediately led a group to greet them and personally guided Xue Qinghe and Xuan Ming on a tour.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda is a gem-type Martial Soul that has been upgraded to Auxiliary System Martial Soul. It is a top-grade treasure-type Martial Soul, Soul Master who possess the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda have extremely strong treasure appraisal abilities.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has grown to its current size not only because of its powerful support capabilities, but also because of its terrifying treasure appraisal abilities, which have allowed it to accumulate a vast amount of wealth for the development of the sect.
In addition, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Soul Master will only combine with powerful Battle Soul Master, which ensures that the sect's martial strength has a basic support.
After inheriting the position of sect leader, Ning Fengzhi successively won over two Titled Douluo, Jian Gu, to fill the gap in top-level combat power that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had always lacked. At the same time, he vigorously developed commerce, using it as a means to make the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's spies spread throughout the continent.
It is no exaggeration to say that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's intelligence capabilities surpass those of the Spirit Hall in many areas.
" Xuan Ming, don't look so down." Xue Qinghe gently nudged Xuan Ming.
"Smile."
"Why?" Xuan Ming asked, puzzled.
"Laughing for no reason, isn't that stupid?"
"Did you waste your time in etiquette class?" Xue Qinghe said in a low voice.
"Hehe." Xuan Ming chuckled twice, his face expressionless.
Is this okay?
"..." Xue Qinghe.
You've really made me feel incredibly ashamed!
"Teacher, Xuan Ming... he just said that, he didn't mean anything else, please don't misunderstand." Xue Qinghe looked at Ning Fengzhi with a wry smile.
"I know." Ning Fengzhi smiled, not taking it to heart.
He naturally had informants and intelligence at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy as well, and he had investigated Xuan Ming quite a bit over the past two years.
He's a very simple and straightforward person; how you treat him is how he'll treat you.
Although he has a bad temper, he's still more reassuring to be around than those two-faced people.
At least, I don't have to worry about being stabbed in the back by this kid at any time.
"It's getting late, let's go eat first. I think Xuan Ming is hungry too," Ning Fengzhi said.
Xue Qinghe was taken aback and looked at Xuan Ming, "Are you hungry?"
"I haven't eaten for four or five days. I just got back to the academy and you dragged me onto the carriage before I could even eat. Guess if I'm hungry or not?" Xuan Ming said speechlessly.
Xue Qinghe's eye twitched slightly. "Then tell me."
"Isn't this because you have something important to do? You didn't give me a chance to speak before," Xuan Ming said.
"Besides, if I interrupt you and make you lose face, do you think you'll let me off the hook when we get back?"
"Anyway, we won't starve to death, so a little hunger won't hurt."
"..." Xue Qinghe.
Don't make it sound like I'm abusing you!
Having figured out why Xuan Ming was unhappy, Ning Fengzhi and his group went to the largest restaurant in Seven Treasure City and ate as quickly as possible.
Xue Qinghe and Ning Fengzhi discussed state affairs while eating.
Xuan Ming, as always, simply ate at the entrance, since he had no say in the matter.
" Grandpa Bone, that older brother is so handsome!"
Not far away, Gu Rong, who had been taking Ning Rongrong around, also arrived at the restaurant for dinner. As soon as they arrived, they were attracted by Xuan Ming, who was sitting by the Xue Qinghe with a peculiar figure and was eating very quickly.
"Beautiful?" Gu Rong glanced at it.
"Generally."
"Being prettier than you is just average," Chen Xin said.
Gu Rong's face fell. "Why do you look like a ghost?"
" Grandpa Bone, Grandpa Sword has been here all along, didn't you see him?" Ning Rongrong asked in confusion.
"It seems you really are getting old and your eyesight is failing. Rongrong can see me, but you can't," Chen Xin said.
"You want to start a fight, huh?" Gu Rong's face darkened.
She only dared to rely on her higher cultivation level to suppress her aura to the extreme every time, appearing behind him like a ghost, and then pretending nothing had happened to mock him!
" Grandpa Sword, can you take me there?" Ning Rongrong hugged Chen Xin's leg and pointed to Xuan Ming in the distance.
Gu Rong squatted down. "Why didn't you let Grandpa Bone take you there?"
"I'm afraid Grandpa Bone will scare him," Ning Rongrong said.
Gu Rong's expression froze for a moment, Chen Xin, whose expression remained unchanged for ten thousand years, couldn't help but laugh. " Rongrong is right, don't scare the child like that."
" Grandpa Bone, don't be sad. I was just afraid you would scare him, I didn't mean anything by it!" Ning Rongrong explained anxiously, holding Gu Rong's hand.
"I didn't say Grandpa Bone was ugly, I absolutely didn't mean that!"
" Grandpa Bone is the coolest!"
Hearing this, Gu Rong's wounded heart was somewhat soothed. "Is Grandpa Sword more handsome, or Grandpa Bone?"
"This..." Ning Rongrong hesitated for a moment, but seeing Gu Rong's pitiful appearance, she decided to say something kind.
" Grandpa Bone! Grandpa Bone is even more handsome!"
"Did you hear that?" Gu Rong glared at Chen Xin.
" Rongrong is a Kindness child, and there are some things she just can't bear to say," Chen Xin said calmly.
"But some people should still have some self-awareness."
"You!" Gu Rong's expression froze.
" Rongrong, do you like Grandpa Bone more, or Grandpa Sword more?"
"Huh?" Ning Rongrong looked completely bewildered.
Why is there an increased difficulty level?
Chapter 93 You'll comfort me when I cry.
Seeing the two of them locked in a fierce struggle, Ning Rongrong knew that no matter whose answer she gave, they would end up fighting!
so...
"Dad!"
Ning Rongrong released Gu Rong and immediately fled the battlefield, shouting as she went.
Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi, who had already noticed Gu Rong and Chen Xin arguing, looked over.
Considering Xue Qinghe's presence, Gu Rong and the other person stopped arguing and walked over.
"Daddy~" Ning Rongrong threw herself into Ning Fengzhi's arms and began to act coquettishly, oblivious to everyone else, but her little eyes kept glancing at the other side.
Seeing this, Ning Fengzhi seized the opportunity to introduce, " Rongrong, this is the genius older brother that Dad told you about before, his name is Xuan Ming."
" Xuan Ming... brother?" Ning Rongrong tentatively approached.
Xuan Ming, who had been eating in silence, looked up at Ning Rongrong and said, "Go play somewhere else."
After saying that, Xuan Ming lowered his head and continued eating.
After his physique improved and his meridians expanded, his appetite also increased. Now he only eats until he's half full and has no interest in dealing with the children.
bother.
"..."
Ning Rongrong stood there, stunned, never expecting to be rejected so ruthlessly.
I never imagined that my own appeal wouldn't even be as strong as the food on the table!
Is that correct?
This isn't right!
"Brother Xuan Ming, I'm hungry." Ning Rongrong looked at Xuan Ming expectantly and pointed to the plate of prawns he had painstakingly prepared.
Xuan Ming glanced at Ning Rongrong, then handed her a plate of unpeeled fruit. "Here you go."
"Um, I..."
Before Ning Rongrong could say anything, Xuan Ming activated his Storm Inhalation technique again, and within a few breaths, he had swallowed all the peeled shrimp on the plate.
Then he started eating the fish.
Ning Rongrong's eyes reddened, and she was about to cry.
Seeing this, Xue Qinghe quickly pinched Xuan Ming, stopping him from eating.
Xuan Ming was taken aback, and all three heads turned around, staring at Xue Qinghe.
Are you crazy?!
Xue Qinghe glared back.
If you made her cry, you'll have to comfort her!
Xuan Ming was speechless, but seeing Ning Rongrong on the verge of tears, he peeled another shrimp and held it to Ning Rongrong lips, saying, "Here you go."
Ning Rongrong was stunned for a moment, tears welling up in her eyes, "Ah?"
"Do you want it?" Xuan Ming asked.
"Yes!" Ning Rongrong took a bite.
"Thank you, Brother Xuan Ming!"
"How old are you? Peel it yourself if you want to eat." Xuan Ming wiped his hands, picked up his chopsticks, and continued eating the fish.
"Oh." Ning Rongrong ate the shrimp in small bites.
"Brother Xuan Ming, do you like to eat this?"
