Douluo Dalu (Soul Land): Star-Breaking Sword God

Soul Land—Chapter 109: Ning Fengzhi—"Fence-Sitter"

When Gu Rong heard that Chen Xin fantasized that he was the person Ning Rongrong wanted the most, his temper immediately rose.

"Let's find a place to fight. I think you, old guy, can't tell the difference between reality and fantasy!"

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

Ning Rongrong turned around, ducking away from below them, and watched this scene with interest, stroking her chin.

She almost yelled for them to fight.

"Okay, Uncle Jian, Uncle Gu, I just left for a while. Why are you quarreling again?" A gentle voice came from outside the hall. Ning Fengzhi walked slowly with a smile on his face. "Rongrong, are you the one making trouble again?"

"It has nothing to do with Rongrong. It's just that this old guy is being sentimental." Gu Rong pointed at Chen Xin with a look of disdain on his face.

Chen Xin snorted and sneered, "Self-conceited? I think it's your jealousy that's causing the trouble. Rongrong must miss me more."

Ning Fengzhi shook his head helplessly. "Uncle Jian, Uncle Gu, you are so old. Why are you still fighting like children?"

"Fengzhi, don't try to persuade me."

"Hmph, stinky dad, you still have the nerve to show up. Tell me, what is going on with that Shrek Academy Dean Flander threatening and attacking me so brazenly, and even trying to kick me out of Shrek Academy? Did you make some kind of deal with him behind my back?"

Ning Fengzhi's face darkened.

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

Ning Rongrong was still talking, tears falling like they were worthless, "They are only Soul Saints at most in Shrek. 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! Woohoo—"

"What?! Bullying my Rongrong?!" 2

Ning Fengzhi's face changed drastically. He quickly walked to Ning Rongrong, squatted down, and shook her shoulders. He smiled apologetically. "How is it possible, Rongrong? How could Dad let you be bullied? I will investigate the matter at Shrek Academy thoroughly for you."

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

Chen Xin and Gu Rong snorted coldly and put away their martial souls. Gu Rong pointed at Ning Fengzhi. "Fengzhi, you'd better give me an explanation for this matter. Rongrong, tell me what grievances you have suffered, whether at home or in Shrek. Grandpa Gu will take care of it for you."

Ning Fengzhi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, 'That shouldn't be right. How did Rongrong guess that I had greeted Flander?'

He continued, "It has nothing to do with Dad. At most, I just told him to take care of you. It must be that this shoehorn face is misunderstood. When I have a chance to see him, Dad will teach him a lesson for you."

Ning Rongrong blinked, tears still hanging on her eyelashes, looking a little pitiful. "Really?"

"Really, really." Ning Fengzhi nodded quickly.

Ning Rongrong turned around and restored her initial smile. There were no tears on her face. "Humph, then it's settled. In addition, I have a few things to show you."

As she said that, she took out the hidden weapon that Tang San handed her.

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

Ning Fengzhi's eyes moved slightly. "Tense Back Flower Adornment Crossbow, silent sleeve arrows, Godly Zhuge crossbow, Flying God Claw."

Sword Douluo stroked his beard, "Fengzhi, the suddenness and lethality of these things are indeed impossible to guard against.

Roughly estimated, if Soul Masters below Soul Ancestors are all equipped with them, their combat power will directly increase by several levels."

Ning Fengzhi naturally understood what Sword Douluo meant. After coaxing Ning Rongrong away, he said to Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo, 

"Qinghe just came to see me, and what he said was actually about these Hidden Weapons.

He believes that if these Hidden Weapons are to appear on a large scale, there must be a force firmly in control of their manufacturing techniques behind them.

After discussing with him, we decided it's better to completely master the manufacturing method of Tang San's Hidden Weapons."

Bone Douluo nodded. "Just pay for it. Even if he offers a price of tens of millions, as long as he spends it, most of the funds will soon flow back to our sect."

Ning Fengzhi shook his head. "Qinghe told me that Tang San might not sell his production method, but would only propose cooperation, which could be a little troublesome, We might have to resort to extraordinary means."

"In addition, the information about Tang San that Qinghe gave me shows that he has a blue silver grass martial soul with full soul power and is now a soul elder."

Sword Douluo nodded. "This is strange. A useless martial soul can cultivate to soul elder level, which is considered a genius. He also has hidden weapons. Are we going to win him over?"

Ning Fengzhi shook his head again. "No. When I was discussing with Qinghe just now, I found a suspicious point. This Tang San is very likely to be the son of the former Clear Sky Douluo Tang Hao."

"What?" Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo frowned.

Ning Fengzhi nodded, "Blue Silver Grass with innate full Soul Power, the age also matches, and these Hidden Weapons don't seem like something a young person like him could make.

Tang Hao also has the title of Divine Craftsman.

Most importantly, not long ago, Moon Pavilion acquired a batch of whale glue, and Tang Yuehua herself has no reason to use it."

He sat down in the main seat, with a thoughtful look in his eyes. "The Spirit Hall is indeed ambitious, but our Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect can't directly confront them.

Even if Tang San is Tang Hao's son, I cannot easily cooperate with him, compared with his talent, what is more important to our Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect is the method of making hidden weapons in his hand.

Tang Hao is still a dog who has lost his home at this time. I have no reason to befriend Tang San because of an identity that may bring trouble. Our relationship should be temporarily limited to commercial cooperation, to avoid us getting into trouble after his identity is exposed in the future.

Being able to advance or retreat is the right way."

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

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

Let's wait and see. The three forces of Heaven Dou Empire, Star Luo Empire, and Spirit Hall are far from the time of conflict."

Sword Douluo sighed. "Fengzhi, should I say you are shrewd or a fence-sitter?"

Ning Fengzhi coughed twice, his face somewhat unnatural. "Uncle Jian, what you said is wrong. My Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect is the only sect of an auxiliary soul master. We don't have the ability of those strong attack Soul Masters.

Naturally, we must seek self-preservation.

With undercurrents surging, as the Sect Master, I must consider the overall situation.

Besides, Uncle Jian, didn't you teach the 12-year-old soul ancestor Ling Qianyao? If he can take Zhu Zhuqing by his side and kill his way back to Star Luo City, successfully taking down the Star Luo regime, it would be good for us to have a deeper friendship with him."

Bone Douluo snorted. "Don't say so much for now. Let's settle the matter of Rongrong being wronged in Shrek first. Fengzhi, how are you going to accept the punishment?"

Ning Fengzhi's mouth twitched.
