The Hell White Tiger Paired with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda-Just Thinking About It Was Wonderful!
"Our ancestors have blessed us!"
Dai Mian was so excited that his body trembled slightly. "Heaven has truly blessed my Dai Family!!!"
"Patriarch, we can't afford the slightest carelessness when it comes to Tianfeng's safety!"
Dai Mian looked at Dai Xiu, and the meaning he wanted to convey was already clear.
He was indeed the emperor of the Star Luo Empire, but he didn't have many high-level fighters at his disposal.
He had only a few Soul Douluo, to say nothing of Titled Douluo.
"I'll have Na'er protect Tianfeng from the shadows."
Dai Xiu thought for a moment. "With her strength as a Titled Douluo, there shouldn't be any problems."
Zhu Na was his wife and the only Titled Douluo in the Hell Spirit Cat Zhu Family.
To be honest, Dai Xiu himself had even considered personally staying at Dai Tianfeng's side to protect him.
But compared to the White Tiger, the Hell Spirit Cat was clearly a little better suited for the task.
"If Senior Zhu Na is willing to help, that's wonderful!" Dai Mian immediately had no objections.
She was a Titled Douluo!
With a Titled Douluo guarding him from the shadows, how many people in the world could harm Dai Tianfeng?
"Dai Mian, are there any exceptionally gifted disciples in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's current direct-line generation?"
Dai Xiu suddenly asked Dai Mian.
"There is one. Ning Rongrong, the direct-line daughter of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's master, happens to be the same age as Tianfeng. She has level-nine Innate Soul Power."
Dai Mian was somewhat puzzled. "If I'm not mistaken, she should be the next master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."
What was the patriarch up to now?
How did the conversation suddenly turn to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?
Even Dai Tianfeng took a little interest.
Ning Rongrong was one of his conquest targets.
"Isn't that perfect? Level-nine Innate Soul Power and the next master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect-she's a fitting match for our Tianfeng!" Dai Xiu's eyes lit up.
"Patriarch, Ning Fengzhi, the master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, is the crown prince's grand tutor in the Heaven Dou Empire."
Dai Mian opened his mouth, then offered the reminder.
"So what if he's the Heaven Dou Empire's crown prince's grand tutor?"
Dai Xiu waved a hand dismissively. "It's not as if we can't win the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect over!"
"Patriarch, you want Tianfeng to marry Ning Fengzhi's daughter and form an alliance!"
Only then did Dai Mian catch on. His brows knitted tightly. "But that's simply not realistic. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's headquarters is in the near suburbs of Heaven Dou Imperial City, and they've also been close to the Heaven Dou Imperial Family in recent years."
"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has survived to this day not only because of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul, but also because the spouses of its direct descendants must be exceptionally gifted Battle Soul Masters."
At this, Dai Xiu looked at Dai Mian. "Tell me, is there a Soul Master in this world more talented than Tianfeng?"
"No."
Dai Mian shook his head instinctively.
"Exactly! Right now, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has the Sword and Bone Douluo holding down the fort, but what about the future?"
"As far as I know, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has no particularly brilliant talents among its younger generation."
Dai Xiu chuckled, his words carrying a deeper meaning. "Ning Fengzhi can take the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to a new height. I believe he's a smart man and will certainly make the right choice."
Dai Mian's eyes immediately lit up.
Judging by the current situation, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect did indeed have a gap between its generations.
Among the younger generation, that little girl Ning Rongrong was still the most talented.
But the problem was that Ning Rongrong was not only a support-system Soul Master; her Martial Soul was also the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's support abilities were unparalleled under heaven, but it also had an inherent flaw: it could bear at most seven Soul Rings, meaning its cultivation could reach no higher than a level-79 Soul Saint.
If they could really use this opportunity to win the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect over, it would bring enormous benefits to the Star Luo Empire as well.
As one of the current Seven Great Sects, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect not only enjoyed an excellent reputation in the Soul Master World and possessed formidable strength, with two Douluo in one sect, but was also known as the wealthiest sect in the Soul Master World, with chambers of commerce across the entire continent.
The Clear Sky Sect had also lived in seclusion for many years, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had vaguely become the foremost sect apart from Spirit Hall.
Its standing in the Soul Master World was extraordinarily lofty; even Spirit Hall could not shake it.
Moreover, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda was an excellent partner for every Power Attack System Soul Master under heaven. No Power Attack System Soul Master could refuse it.
When the time came, their White Tiger Lineage would have another long-term marriage partner besides the Hell Spirit Cat Zhu Family.
If all else failed, it wasn't as if he couldn't marry women from both families.
After all, whatever else might be said about the men of the Dai Family, they certainly had enough stamina to handle it.
The Hell White Tiger paired with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda-just thinking about it was wonderful!
It would be killing two birds with one stone!
A massive win!
"But that would expose Tianfeng's talent. The risk is too great."
Dai Mian then frowned slightly and voiced his concern.
"There is indeed that risk, but it's worth a gamble."
"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and Spirit Hall aren't of one mind. And since that woman Bibi Dong succeeded to the position, Spirit Hall's ambitions have grown greater and greater over the past few years, and it has continued expanding its influence."
"Three of the Lower Four Sects have already joined Spirit Hall."
After pondering for a moment, Dai Xiu spoke slowly. "Even if the talks ultimately fail, Ning Fengzhi wouldn't do something so thankless."
"Wise as ever, Patriarch. I'll make the arrangements at once!"
Dai Mian understood immediately.
"Tianfeng, I'm going to seek the young sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's hand in marriage for you. What do you think?"
Dai Xiu looked at Dai Tianfeng again. "If you're unwilling, we'll treat this as though it never happened."
Dai Mian also looked at the son who was his pride and joy.
If Dai Tianfeng was unwilling, they could only drop the matter.
They would act as though nothing had happened.
It wouldn't be worth chilling the heart of their own qilin son over the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, when they weren't even sure they could win it over.
"Marriage has always been a matter of parents' commands and matchmakers' words."
"In life, I, Dai Tianfeng, belong to the Star Luo Empire; in death, I'll be its ghost. Father, it's an immense kindness for Grandpa Patriarch to propose the marriage for me. How could I fail to appreciate it?"
Dai Tianfeng spoke with lofty righteousness.
Naturally, he had no objections.
Ning Rongrong was already one of his conquest targets.
As for whether this would affect Dai Tianfeng's pursuit of Zhu Zhuqing?
What a joke!
He was the crown prince of the Star Luo Empire, the next Star Luo Emperor. What was wrong with having a harem?
Besides, even if this really worked out,
Dai Tianfeng figured the news of his engagement to Ning Rongrong wouldn't get out.
After all, both their identities were far too sensitive.
One was the crown prince of the Star Luo Empire; the other was the young sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Leaving Spirit Hall aside, the Heaven Dou Imperial Family would definitely be the first to raise objections.
"Good!"
Dai Xiu slapped his thigh, grinning from ear to ear. "That's a true son of the Dai Family, with a sense of responsibility! It's settled, then!"
Even Dai Mian wore a satisfied smile.
The child was so sensible that it made one's heart ache.
He hardly seemed like a six-year-old.
It even made Dai Mian feel a little guilty!
Dai Tianfeng chuckled, calculating the chances of this marriage alliance succeeding.
In the end, he concluded that there was still a good chance.
How should he put it when it came to Ning Fengzhi?
Compared to a Soul Master, he was more like a merchant with principles.
He knew how to weigh the pros and cons and calculate gains and losses, putting the sect's interests first in everything.
Ning Fengzhi formed good relationships far and wide, befriended powerful people from all sides, and invested in promising prospects. At its core, this was a long-term "investment."
Yet it was precisely because he invested in Tang San that his years of planning came to nothing overnight.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect also went from prosperity to decline as a result.
It was no exaggeration to say that he lost everything he had invested.
The original story had already made it clear that although Ning Fengzhi doted on his daughter, when faced with an exceptionally outstanding genius Soul Master, he would consider sacrificing her marriage to win that person over.
If it really worked out, Ning Rongrong's unruly personality early on meant she would most likely throw a little tantrum.
She might even come to dislike him, her fiancé, because of it.
That said, Ning Rongrong was ultimately just a spoiled little girl. As long as he used the right approach, her affection would still be easy to raise.
"Tianfeng, it's getting late. Hurry back and get some rest."
Dai Xiu smiled gently. "Tomorrow, I'll take you to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."
"Patriarch, you're going personally?" Dai Mian was slightly taken aback.
"Of course. Only that way can we show our sincerity," Dai Xiu said with a smile.
