Chapter 3868: Chapter 3716
Ning Fengzhi took a deep breath and gave generous praise, "You truly live up to the person even Qing He admires. Seeing you today, indeed, you're extraordinary!"
Xu Sheng did not deny it, instead he used an equally admiring tone to say, "I've also long heard of Sect Master Ning's great reputation, just never had the chance to have a conversation with you. Today, I've finally made up for that regret in my heart!"
Ning Fengzhi waved his hand, very modestly saying, "Ah, those are just empty titles. It's outstanding young ones like you who are the future of the Soul Masters' world!"
Xu Sheng smiled faintly, "Where is Sect Master Ning's comment coming from? Without figures like you shining brightly, how could a more outstanding generation of Soul Masters emerge?"
These words made the corners of Chen Xin's mouth twitch involuntarily...
Following that, using spiritual power he telepathically said to Gu Rong beside him, "Hey, Old Bones, isn't this the legendary mutual business flattery?? Why do I feel like the two of them are treating each other as if"
The latter felt the same way, "It should be. The Seven Treasures Glaze Sect and Martial Soul Hall can be considered hostile entities, but from Sect Master Ning and Xu Sheng's conversation, they seem like rare friends!"
"This Xu Sheng, indeed as Xue Qinghe said, has some tricks up his sleeve!"
Last time they met, they only knew that Xu Sheng was exceptionally talented in his Soul Master aptitude, but the fact that he could talk and laugh freely with Ning Fengzhi, a Sect Master of his stature!
This couldn't help but make people look at him in a new light!
Looking at Jiang Long Douluo, on the other hand, he had an unhappy face as he said, "I say, Qian Jun, what are they doing?? Don't they know that the relationship between Martial Soul Hall and Seven Treasures Glaze Sect is very delicate?"
Xu Sheng is, after all, the Saint Heir of Martial Soul Hall, there's no need to say such nonsense to Ning Fengzhi, right?
Qianjun Douluo shook his head, speaking with a heavy tone, "No, they're well aware of the tense relationship between Seven Treasures Glaze Sect and Martial Soul Hall, that exactly why they don't show any animosity!"
"This is nothing but a verbal probe, Jiang Long. Besides cultivation, you still have much to learn!"
Jiang Long Douluo managed a smile more pained than crying, "Qian Jun, seems like you're showing off, huh?"
Just then, the cold exchange between Ning Fengzhi and Xu Sheng also had ended...
The former looked towards Jiang Long Douluo and his companion, feigning ignorance as he asked, "Xu Sheng, who are these two??"
After entering the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect, Xu Sheng wouldn't be a concern, but these two, that might not be the case!
If possible, he would still hope to keep them outside the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect!
Xu Sheng glanced over and replied, "Sect Master Ning, they are Martial Soul Hall's powerhouses tasked with my protection. If they enter the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect together with me, it wouldn't be a problem, would it?!"
Qianjun Douluo and Jiang Long Douluo just nodded without taking the initiative to speak...
Ning Fengzhi imperceptibly furrowed his brows, then pretending to be magnanimous said, "It's no problem, of course no problem. For an outstanding Soul Master like Xu Sheng, Martial Soul Hall naturally should send strong protectors!"
But as soon as he finished speaking, Chen Xin's voice rose up in his mind...
"Fengzhi, are you truly going to let those two guys enter the sect? If they suddenly turn hostile, even if Old Bones and I act together, there's no guarantee we'll come out unscathed!!"
They weren't worried about their own lives so much as they were that the sect might sustain unpredictable damage!
Yet, Ning Fengzhi acted as if he hadn't heard, saying again, "We can't just stand here talking all day, please follow me to the sect!!"
Chen Xin's concerns were of course known to him, but their counterparts were no fools, how could they possibly just let Xu Sheng enter the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect alone!
Therefore, they could only take a slight risk!!
...
Not long after, everyone entered the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect!
Seeing the environment around them, both Qianjun Douluo and Jiang Long Douluo showed thick contempt on their faces...
"Hmph, many years ago I visited the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect once. Who would have thought, after so many years, there has not been the slightest change. Could it be that the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect, which is rich enough to rival countries, has fallen to such straits?"
"Hehe, this is the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect of the upper three families? The environment here is not even as good as our Worship Hall, truly disappointing!"
Of course, in order not to cause trouble for Xu Sheng, they only whispered these thoughts in their hearts...
Chen Xin and Gu Rong, on the other hand, were staring intently at the two men, ready to take action at any moment...
Xu Sheng also did not know how to start a conversation, and so, he chose to use Ning Rongrong as an entry point...
"Sect Master Ning, is Rongrong doing well after her accidental intrusion into the Pope Hall last time?"
Ning Fengzhi was taken aback for a moment, then nodded affirmatively, "Rongrong is fine, she was just a bit startled."
"However, being able to return safely last time, it was largely thanks to your help, Xu Sheng. It's been so long, and I haven't properly thanked you yet!"
This Xu Sheng, how come he directly refers to Rongrong by her name?
Could it be that the relationship between them is good?
No, no, I should have known about this earlier, otherwise, I wouldn't have specifically requested her to leave for a while!
Xu Sheng didn't mind these things, "Sect Master Ning, you're too polite. If Rongrong accidentally entered the Pope Hall, I naturally couldn't ignore it, it's what should be done!"
"After all, even if I weren't there, I trust that Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo would have found Rongrong in no time!"
Facing this statement, Chen Xin raised his chin confidently, "Naturally, Rongrong is our little princess of the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect; nothing can happen to her!"
But soon, he caught Ning Fengzhi's gaze...
He immediately understood something and quickly added, "Of course, I still need to thank you for this matter!"
Hmph, although reluctant, I might as well do as Feng Zhi said for now!
...
However, this statement had just begun when it was ruthlessly interrupted by other Council Members...
"Heh, what's there to fear? The position of the Douling Empire is already awkward among the three nations today. Our Spirit Pagoda's power spans across any continent; do we have anything to fear from them?"
"Exactly, the mere Douling Empire does not deserve to threaten our Spirit Pagoda!"
"We have already given up on supplying Spirit Souls to the Douling Empire, and aren't we still developing well now? The Douling Empire is not worth mentioning!"
"Well said, the Douling Empire's internal situation must be on its last legs; otherwise, they wouldn't have proactively reached out to our Spirit Pagoda. Just drag it out a few more years, and even their emperor will come to bow and apologize!"
Looking at the Council Members heatedly debating, Qiangu Qingfeng shouted coldly, "Everyone, be quiet!"
Then, he continued, "First of all, regarding the matter of the Douling Empire sending Messengers for a visit, our Spirit Pagoda must welcome them! After all, we have not yet found any evidence to prove the previous incident was manipulated by the Douling Empire behind the scenes!"
"Of course, the matter of the Soul Power transport team being attacked won't just simply be dropped either; the Spirit Pagoda will pursue it with all our might until we catch the true perpetrator behind the scenes!"
