Douluo: Star-Breaking Sword God

Chapter 111 Ning Fengzhi - "Fence-sitter"

When Gu Rong heard that Chen Xin actually delusionally thought that he was the person Ning Rongrong wanted the most, his temper immediately flared up.

"Let's find a place to fight one-on-one. I think you, old man, can't distinguish between reality and fantasy!"

"Come on." The two men were at loggerheads, their foreheads almost touching, glaring at each other.

Ning Rongrong turned around and hid from under them, stroking her chin and watching the scene with interest.

He almost shouted and started fighting.

"Alright, Uncle Jian, Uncle Gu, I just left for a while, why are you guys arguing again?" A gentle voice sounded from outside the hall. Ning Fengzhi walked over slowly with a smile on his face, "Rongrong, are you the one causing trouble again?"

"It has nothing to do with Rongrong. This old guy is just being sentimental." Gu Rong pointed at Chen Xin with a look of disdain.

Chen Xin snorted and sneered, "Self-conceited? I think it's you, an old man, who's jealous. Rongrong must miss me more."

Ning Fengzhi shook his head helplessly, "Uncle Jian, Uncle Gu, you're so old, why are you still jealous like children?"

"Feng Zhi, don't try to persuade me."

"Hmph, stinky old man, how dare you show up and tell me that Shrek Dean Flanders is so fearless in threatening me, attacking me, and even wants to kick me out of Shrek Academy. What's going on? Did you make some kind of deal with him behind my back?"

Ning Fengzhi's face changed.

Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo also stopped arguing at the same time, turned their gazes towards Ning Fengzhi, and narrowed their eyes.

Ning Rongrong was still talking, tears streaming down her face. "They, the Shrek people, are only Soul Saints at best. How could they have the guts to insult and threaten me? It must be because of you, stinky dad. You must have done something behind my back to make them think they can bully me at will! Wuuwuwu——"

"What?! Bullying my Rongrong?!"*2
Ning Fengzhi's expression changed drastically. He quickly walked over to Ning Rongrong, squatted down, shook her shoulders, and said with an apologetic smile, "How could that be possible, Rongrong? How could Daddy let you be bullied? I will definitely investigate the matter of Shrek Academy for you."

The corners of his mouth twitched, "Uncle Jian, Uncle Gu, can you put away your martial spirits?"

Jian Gu and the other two snorted coldly and put away their martial spirits. Gu Rong pointed at Ning Fengzhi and said, "Fengzhi, you'd better give me an explanation for this matter. Rongrong, tell me whatever grievances you've suffered, whether it's at home or in Shrek. Grandpa Gu will definitely take care of it for you."

Ning Fengzhi wiped the sweat from his forehead. "That shouldn't be the case. How could Rongrong have guessed that I had greeted Flanders?"

He continued, "It really has nothing to do with Dad. At most, I just told him to look after you. This guy must have misunderstood. When I get a chance to see him, Dad will vent his anger for you."

Ning Rongrong blinked, tears still hanging on her eyelashes, looking somewhat pitiful, "Really?"

"Really, really." Ning Fengzhi nodded quickly.

Ning Rongrong turned around immediately, her smile returning to its original state, no tears on her face. "Hmph, then it's settled. Also, I have a few things to show you."

As she spoke, she took out the hidden weapon that Tang San had given her.

After demonstrating the effect, Ning Fengzhi and the other two looked at each other at the same time, and saw the shock in each other's eyes.

Ning Fengzhi's eyes flickered slightly, "Back-strap crossbow, silent sleeve arrows, Zhuge magic crossbow, flying claws."

Jian Douluo stroked his beard, "Feng Zhi, the suddenness and lethality of this thing are truly hard to defend against. A rough estimate is that if all soul masters below the Soul Sect level were equipped with it, their combat power would directly increase by several levels."

Ning Fengzhi naturally understood what Jian Douluo meant. After coaxing Ning Rongrong away, he said to Jian Gu and the others,
"Qinghe came to see me just now, and he was actually talking about this hidden weapon. He believes that if these hidden weapons are to appear on a large scale, there must be a force behind them that firmly masters their manufacturing techniques.

After discussing with him, we decided that it would be best to completely master Tang San's hidden weapon making method."

Bone Douluo nodded, "Just pay for it. Even if he asks for tens of millions, as long as he spends it, most of the money will flow back to our sect in no time."

Ning Fengzhi shook his head, "Qinghe told me that Tang San might not sell his production method, but would only propose cooperation, which would be a bit troublesome and might require extraordinary measures.

In addition, the information that Tang San Qinghe gave me shows that he has a Blue Silver Grass martial soul with full innate soul power, and is now a Soul Master."

Jian Douluo nodded, "This is quite unusual. A useless martial soul can cultivate to the Soul Master level, which is considered a genius. He also masters hidden weapons. Is he trying to win him over?"

Ning Fengzhi shook his head again, "No, during my discussion with Qinghe just now, I discovered a suspicious point. This Tang San is very likely the son of the former Clear Sky Douluo Tang Hao."

"What?" Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo frowned.

Ning Fengzhi nodded, "The Blue Silver Grass is naturally full of soul power, and his age is suitable. This hidden weapon is not something that a young man like him can make. Tang Hao even has the title of Master Craftsman.

The most important thing is that Yuexuan recently acquired a batch of whale glue, but Tang Yuehua herself has no reason to use it."

He sat down in the main seat, a thoughtful look in his eyes, "It's true that the Spirit Hall is ambitious, but my Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect can't directly confront them.

Even if Tang San is the son of Tang Hao, I can't easily cooperate with him. Compared with his talent, what is more important to my Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect is the method of making hidden weapons in his hands.

Tang Hao is still a lost dog at this time. I have no reason to be friends with Tang San just because of an identity that may bring trouble. Our relationship should be limited to business cooperation for the time being, so as to avoid some trouble when his identity is exposed in the future.

Being able to advance and retreat is the right path."

Bone Douluo frowned, "Feng Zhi, do you mean that you want us to turn to the Spirit Hall in the future?"

Ning Fengzhi smiled and shook his head, "Uncle Gu, you misunderstood. The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect cannot openly support any faction on the continent, because that would only put us in danger.

Let's wait and see. It's far from the time for a conflict to break out between the three factions of Tiandou, Xingluo, and Wuhun Hall."

Jian Douluo sighed, "Feng Zhi, should I say you are shrewd and calculating, or a fence-sitter?"

Ning Fengzhi coughed twice, his expression unnatural, "Uncle Jian, you are wrong. My Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect is only a support-type soul master, and we don't have the same ability as their offensive-type soul masters.

Naturally, we have to seek self-protection. Undercurrents are surging. As the leader of the sect, I must consider the overall situation.

Besides, Uncle Jian, didn't you teach that 12-year-old Soul Sect member Ling Qianyao? If he can bring Zhu Zhuqing with him back to Xingluo and successfully seize the Xingluo regime, it would be great if we could establish a close relationship with him."

Bone Douluo snorted, "Let's not talk too much for now. Let's first settle the matter of Rongrong being wronged in Shrek. Feng Zhi, how are you going to accept the punishment?"

Ning Fengzhi's mouth twitched.
