After hearing Tang San's words, Ning Rongrong's expression, which had initially been just a casual question, became more serious.
She was genuinely curious that Tang San could call it "an incredible stroke of luck," and that Ning Fengzhi had to come and discuss it personally.
"Third Brother, what kind of good fortune is this? Tell me a little bit first, so I can tell Dad. Otherwise, if I suddenly call him over, he can't just be unaware of everything, can he?"
God King Tang San shook his head, his face full of confidence. "It's not time to say. This matter concerns the future of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and I need to speak with Sect Master Ning personally. You just need to tell him that I want to make a deal with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and that he will definitely be interested in what I have."
Ning Rongrong puffed out her cheeks, clearly somewhat displeased. "Still keeping it a secret from me? Fine, I'll contact Dad later. As for whether he'll be willing to see you, I can't guarantee that."
Thank you.
Tang San nodded.
After the matter was settled, Dai Mubai and the others gathered around. Xiao Wu pulled Tang San aside and asked him where he had been these past few days, while Oscar went to find something to eat. Zhao Wuji specifically reminded him not to leave for the time being, lest he be discovered by the bounty hunters outside again.
Ning Rongrong chatted with him for a while, then left the room under the pretext of contacting her father.
She walked down the corridor to a secluded corner upstairs, and after confirming that no one was around, she took out a cell phone from her Storage Soul Tool.
Ning Rongrong typed out a message.
" Tang San is back, and he took the initiative to find me, saying he wanted to see my father and that he wanted to give the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect an immense fortune."
Teleport.
After the message indicated success, Ning Rongrong found Ning Fengzhi's number and dialed it.
The call was answered quickly.
" Rongrong?"
"Dad, it's me." Ning Rongrong lowered her voice and recounted Tang San's sudden return and his desire to see him, adding at the end, "He's here with us now, and he says this deal is crucial to the future of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, so he insists on discussing it with you in person."
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone.
Ning Fengzhi's voice followed. "Okay, I understand. Tell Tang San that I agree to meet with him. I'll arrange the specific time and place."
"Okay, Dad."
Ning Rongrong ended the call, put her phone away, and returned to the lounge as if nothing had happened.
At this moment, God King Tang San was still dealing with the questions from the Shrek Academy students.
Spirit City, the company's research base.
Ning Fengzhi put down his phone, a hint of doubt still in his eyes.
He had come today to review several new projects in cooperation between the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the company, and Chen Xin had come along as well. Lin Yuan was sitting opposite him, leaning back in his chair and playing with his phone.
Ning Fengzhi looked at him. " Little Yuan, Rongrong just called. Tang San has secretly returned to the vicinity of Spirit City and even took the initiative to find her, saying he wants to meet me."
Lin Yuan raised his phone.
"I know."
The screen displayed the message that Ning Rongrong had just sent.
Ning Fengzhi smiled and said, "He said he wants to give our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect an immense fortune. What do you think?"
Lin Yuan looked at the message.
"Uncle Ning, do you believe it or not, the incredible opportunity Tang San mentioned is most likely a means to further enhance the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, turning it into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda."
Ning Fengzhi was taken aback.
Standing behind him, Chen Xin frowned as well. "But Rongrong's Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda has already evolved into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, hasn't it?"
The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda appeared after Lin Yuan helped Ning Rongrong resolve her Martial Soul issue. This matter is hardly a secret among the higher-ups of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect; they simply haven't publicized it extensively.
Ning Fengzhi also looked at Lin Yuan: "It would be strange if Tang San wanted to use this matter to negotiate with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Rongrong has been with them all along, and her Martial Soul has evolved; it's impossible for Tang San to be completely unaware."
Lin Yuan put down his phone.
"Of course the original Tang San knew."
Ning Fengzhi's gaze sharpened.
Chen Xin also noticed the problem in those words.
Lin Yuan leaned back in his chair, looking at the two of them, and said, "I suspect that the Tang San who is currently controlling that body is no longer the original Tang San."
"What?"
Ning Fengzhi's expression immediately changed.
"Not the original Tang San? Then who is he?"
Chen Xin also took half a step forward. "Possession?"
It's not certain yet.
Lin Yuan shook his head.
After Tang San escaped from the dungeon, Yan, Xie Yue, and Hu Liena fought him. According to them, Tang San suddenly mastered the Clear Sky Nine Absolutes and the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer, and his combat experience completely changed.
"He never knew these things before."
Ning Fengzhi immediately realized the problem.
Tang Hao has already been captured, and Tang San has never officially joined the Clear Sky Sect, so it's impossible for him to suddenly learn so many Clear Sky Sect secret techniques in just a few days.
Lin Yuan continued, "What's even stranger is his fighting style. The way Tang San Tang San used to fight is very different from the way he fights now. This Tang San is overly proficient in many moves, as if he's been using them for many years, rather than as if he just learned them."
Chen Xin said in a deep voice, "If someone really has taken over Tang San's body, that person would know a lot about the Clear Sky Sect."
That's why I was just guessing.
Lin Yuan picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip.
We'll find out tomorrow whether it's true or not.
Ning Fengzhi quickly understood his meaning. "You want me to go see Tang San according to his plan?"
"Certainly."
Lin Yuan smiled.
"They risked being wanted by the entire continent to return to Spirit City, and even offered the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect School an immense opportunity. We can't just ignore them."
Chen Xin glanced at Lin Yuan, feeling that the boy's smile was somewhat malicious.
The next morning.
The Shrek team left their lodgings early.
To avoid attracting attention, they set off in several groups, and finally, led by Ning Rongrong, they arrived at the accommodations that the Spirit Hall had prepared specifically for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Tang San was still wearing a large cloak, hiding his face under the hood.
Ning Rongrong walked to a door and knocked a few times.
"Dad, it's me."
"Come in."
Ning Rongrong pushed open the door and led everyone inside.
The room was spacious, with a long table in the center.
A gentle-looking middle-aged man sat at the table, slowly sipping his tea.
An elderly man in white robes sat beside Ning Fengzhi.
The old man sat there quietly, yet he exuded a sharp and intimidating aura; his seemingly calm body concealed a dagger ready to be drawn at any moment.
When God King Tang San saw Chen Xin, he paused slightly, but quickly returned to normal.
Ning Fengzhi put down his teacup and looked at the person who was wrapped up tightly.
"You must be Tang San."
Tang San raised his hand and took off his hood.
Ning Fengzhi, but his expression didn't change. He simply gestured for him to sit down.
" Rongrong told me last night that you have a very important deal to discuss with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and that you're going to give us an incredible stroke of luck."
Ning Fengzhi up his teacup and his gaze fell on Tang San.
I'm very curious.
"What exactly is this incredible stroke of luck you're talking about? Why don't you tell me?"
