Douluo Dalu: Qian Renxue's Younger Brother

The jade box floated in the air, hovering briefly before gently landing beside Ning Fengzhi, on the table where the hot tea was placed.

Qian Daoliu, with confidence in his voice, said, "Ning Sect Master, you may open it and take a look."

"Huh?" Ning Fengzhi looked up in confusion at the box.

Sword Douluo immediately stepped forward, carefully took the jade box, and opened it cautiously.

In an instant, a dazzling light radiated from the box, and a strong medicinal fragrance filled the air.

"This is... a pill?" Sword Douluo's long eyebrows twitched. Even at a glance, he could tell this was no ordinary pill.

"A pill?" Ning Fengzhi and Bone Douluo were equally surprised.

"That's right, it's a pill," Qian Daoliu nodded slightly. "I assume Sect Master Ning has already heard of my Xiao Jue's pill-making abilities."

"Of course," Ning Fengzhi nodded. Their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan had purchased several of these pills before, either for use or study.

The effects on lower-level soul masters were indeed quite remarkable.

"I wonder, what's so special about this particular pill?" Ning Fengzhi respectfully inquired.

He didn't believe for a second that Qian Daoliu would bring out something ordinary in such a situation.

If it were something common, there would have been no need to present it.

Qian Daoliu explained, "This is the Kirin Golden Pill. If your daughter consumes it, she can obtain the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile."

"What?!" Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi's eyes widened in shock, his expression turning excited. "Did you say the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda?!"

"Indeed," Qian Daoliu affirmed seriously. "This is the betrothal gift from the Spirit Hall. If Sect Master Ning agrees, your daughter can take the pill now."

"..." Ning Fengzhi stared at the Kirin Golden Pill, unable to regain his composure for a long time.

His lifelong pursuit was right before his eyes. How could he not be moved?

Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo, fully aware of the significance of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, stood silently by, waiting for their Sect Master's decision.

Qian Daoliu, unhurried, asked again, "Sect Master Ning, what do you say?"

Ning Fengzhi's pupils trembled as he exhaled deeply.

He reached out, closed the box, and held it tightly. Closing his eyes, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Did the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan have any other choice?

The Spirit Hall's resources and strength were overwhelming, a force that no amount of strategizing could resist.

They had come with nothing but sincerity.

If they had demanded his precious daughter be sent to the Spirit Hall as a hostage, Ning Fengzhi wouldn't have been able to refuse.

He simply had no power to fight back.

The current offer was already the best possible outcome.

"I, The Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan has never sought to provoke the Spirit Hall," Ning Fengzhi's voice was hoarse as he gripped his cane tightly. "We accept this marriage alliance."

"Fengzhi..." Sword Douluo's aura deflated.

He had never felt as powerless as he did today.

Bone Douluo's expression was equally grim.

Though they had anticipated this outcome, it was still unpleasant to face.

"Ha..." Qian Daoliu chuckled softly, while the other elders laughed heartily.

Golden Crocodile Douluo, grinning, said, "Sect Master Ning, there's no need to look so defeated. You aren't at a disadvantage."

"Indeed, indeed," Glowing Feather Douluo chimed in. "Our Spirit Hall's Holy Son has unmatched talent. He's already a level 67 Soul Emperor."

"That's right, that's right," Mighty Lion Douluo's rough voice echoed through the hall. "Once Xiao Jue turns sixteen, he'll likely reach the Soul Sage level, ha-ha!"

The seven elders all wore genuine smiles.

Sword and Bone Douluo, however, couldn't help but gasp, their eyes filled with shock.

A sixteen-year-old Soul Sage? That was unheard of!

Ning Fengzhi was equally shaken.

He had thought earlier that assuming the Holy Son was a Soul King was already an overestimation.

But reality had far exceeded his expectations!

Azure Luan Douluo smiled, "Sect Master Ning, from now on, we'll be family."

"Indeed," Ning Fengzhi nodded lightly. After a brief pause, he tightly gripped the jade box, turned to Bone Douluo, and instructed, "Uncle Gu, please bring Rongrong back."

"Right away," Bone Douluo collected himself and swiftly left the room.

Sword Douluo closed his eyes and smiled wryly.

It seemed that, in his lifetime, he might really have a chance to spar with the Spirit Hall's Holy Son.

The seven elders fell silent.

It wasn't long before Bone Douluo returned with Ning Rongrong.

The little girl, hiding behind Bone Douluo, looked delicate and noble, dressed in a pink gown with a slightly shy expression.

She curiously glanced at Qian Daoliu and the others.

"Rongrong, greet our guests," Ning Fengzhi gently reminded her.

Ning Rongrong immediately understood, tugging on Bone Douluo's sleeve as she bowed to Qian Daoliu and the others. "Rongrong greets all the elders."

At this moment, Ning Rongrong appeared very well-behaved, without her usual playful demands for gifts when with Sword and Bone Douluo.

"There's no need for such formalities, little girl," Qian Daoliu said gently, raising his hand.

Then, looking up, he smiled and asked, "Sect Master Ning, aren't you worried something might be wrong with the Kirin Golden Pill?"

"I trust you, Lord Qian," Ning Fengzhi replied respectfully.

He had already decided to proceed, knowing the pill posed no threat.

He wanted to show Qian Daoliu and his people that he had no ulterior motives.

"Daddy!" Ning Rongrong ran up to Ning Fengzhi, hugging his leg and looking up at him. "It's getting dark. Why did you call for Rongrong?"

"Heh," Ning Fengzhi fondly ruffled her pink hair. "I called you because our guests have brought you a gift."

"A gift?" Ning Rongrong glanced at Qian Daoliu and his group, her eyes filled with both curiosity and shyness.

"Rongrong, look here," Ning Fengzhi opened the jade box in front of her.

The golden pill inside shone brightly, filling the air with a rich aroma, like a glowing, smooth gemstone.

"Wow! Papa, this smells amazing! Can I eat it?" Ning Rongrong asked, her eyes glued to the Kirin Golden Pill.

"Yes, you can eat it, I think." Ning Fengzhi replied with a helpless smile and looked at Qian Daoliu.

Meeting Ning Fengzhi's questioning gaze, Qian Daoliu explained, "She can directly consume it and then sit and circulate her soul power to absorb it."

"Thank you for the clarification, Lord Qian," Ning Fengzhi nodded slightly.

He took the golden pill from the box and prepared to give it to his daughter. With a hint of anxiety in his eyes, he asked, "Rongrong, did you hear everything clearly?"

"Yes, I did," Ning Rongrong, ever clever, had already sensed that something was off about the atmosphere.

She nodded obediently.

"Then sit down and get ready," Ning Fengzhi instructed.

Sword and Bone Douluo were still worried, but seeing Ning Rongrong so well-behaved filled them with a sense of guilt.

What if Ning Rongrong wasn't happy with this later?

Ning Rongrong sat down cross-legged as instructed.

With a slight grimace, Ning Fengzhi placed the Kirin Golden Pill into her mouth.

"Rongrong, quickly, start circulating your soul power."

"Okay." Ning Rongrong closed her eyes and began to circulate her limited soul power slowly.
