Chapter 18 Temporary Residence in the Seven Treasures, Meeting at the Imperial Palace
Boom! Crack!
As the floor cracked from the aura emanating from Chen Xin, the middle-aged man kneeling before the two men was terrified by Chen Xin's appearance and broke out in a cold sweat.
Just as Chen Xin was about to ask for the specific details, another disciple from the sect ran in from outside and reported, "Sect Master, Miss is back."
"came back?"
Ning Fengzhi approached the disciple anxiously and asked, "Where is Rongrong now?"
"Reporting to the Sect Master, Miss is still at the sect gate and..."
Before the disciple could finish speaking, Ning Fengzhi, with Chen Xin's help, flew towards the sect's entrance.
A minute later, upon seeing his daughter appear before him, Ning Fengzhi immediately broke free from worldly attachments to help himself land, then quickly went to Ning Rongrong's side and hugged her tightly.
"Dad, what's wrong with you?"
Ning Rongrong hugged Ning Fengzhi's back, feeling happy but also puzzled by his expression. "Grandpa Jian, what's wrong with my dad? Does he miss me too much?"
"You little darling, you worried your father to death..."
Ning Fengzhi nervously hugged Ning Rongrong for a while, then noticed that there were several people he didn't recognize next to his daughter.
"Excuse my rudeness, may I ask who you are, senior?"
Ning Fengzhi, holding Ning Rongrong's small hand, stood up and then respectfully addressed Ling Yuan, who was standing behind Qiu Hougong. He sensed an aura from Ling Yuan that was somewhat similar to that of Chen Xin, which was why Ning Fengzhi assumed that Ling Yuan was their leader.
Seeing Ning Fengzhi speaking to her, Ling Yuan knew he had misunderstood and did not speak. Instead, she turned her gaze to Qiu Hougong in front of her.
"I saw wrong? Could it be that he is..."
Ning Fengzhi was startled when he realized what Ling Yuan meant, but he didn't show it on the surface. "Young friend, I am Ning Rongrong's father, and also the sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Ning Fengzhi. May I ask your name?"
"Sect Leader Ning, my surname is Qiu, and my given name is Hou Gong. I am Rongrong's good friend and classmate. These people are..."
Qiu Hougong smiled and introduced Ning Fengzhi. After he finished speaking, Ning Rongrong shook Ning Fengzhi's arm and said sweetly, "Daddy, let's go in quickly. I have so much to tell you."
"it is good……"
Ning Fengzhi patted Ning Rongrong's little head, and then said to Qiu Hougong and the others, "Please come into the sect for a chat, young friends."
"Yes, Sect Leader Ning, please."
Qiu Hougong smiled and then the group walked into the interior of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
Upon arriving at the sect's main hall, everyone took their seats in turn.
"Young friend Qiu, since you are all Rongrong's classmates, why are you not studying at the academy but instead coming to my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?"
Sitting in the main seat, Ning Fengzhi smiled and asked Qiu Hougong.
"Sect Master, the reason we've come here so suddenly is because something has happened at Shrek Academy..."
As Qiu Hougong spoke, he recounted in detail what had happened in Soto City and the Star Dou Great Forest. During this time, Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ling Yuan also chimed in, causing Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin's expressions to grow increasingly gloomy.
"Rongrong, take your friends downstairs to rest first. Dad has something to talk to your Grandpa Jian about."
Ning Fengzhi gently patted Ning Rongrong's head and said with a tender expression.
"Okay, Dad."
Knowing that Ning Fengzhi would definitely seek revenge for her, Ning Rongrong nodded, and then led Qiu Hougong and the others out of the main hall.
bump!
After Qiu Hougong and the others had completely disappeared, Chen Xin, filled with rage, slammed his hand on the armrest of his chair and said, "First they verbally insulted and threatened Rongrong, and then they even dared to abandon her in the Star Dou Great Forest! Do Flander and his bastards have a death wish?!"
"Uncle Jian, I would be grateful if you could personally lead the team to find Flander and all the Shrek teachers and students and bring them back to the sect. Also..."
With a gloomy expression, Ning Fengzhi tapped the armrest with his index finger, then continued to Chen Xin: "Send people to keep a close eye on Lanba Academy. If they find that Flander dares to bring people to Lanba Academy, bring them back along with Lanba Academy's Dean Liu Erlong."
“Hmm. But Fengzhi, I think we should capture Liu Erlong now and use her to lure Flander and the others out. That would save a lot of time.”
Chen Xin offered Ning Fengzhi a suggestion.
Having roamed the world of Soul Masters for many years, Chen Xin was naturally aware of the name and background of the Golden Iron Triangle, but so what? As long as anyone dared to bully Rongrong, let alone the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, even if the Clear Sky Sect came, Chen Xin would dare to go up and teach them a lesson.
"No, we should not take action before we are sure whether Liu Erlong is involved in this matter, so as to avoid any unnecessary conflict."
Ning Fengzhi shook his head and refused. Although his Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was not afraid of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, he still did not want to antagonize them unless absolutely necessary.
"Okay, whatever you say..."
Chen Xin nodded and then said, "Feng Zhi, before I leave, call Old Bones out first, otherwise I won't feel at ease with you."
"Yes, I'll go and ask Uncle Bone to come out of seclusion in a bit..."
Ning Fengzhi responded, then asked Chen Xin, "Uncle Jian, do you think that the one who follows Qiu Hougong has reached that level?"
"If I'm not mistaken, she should be a level 96 Super Title Douluo."
Chen Xin's expression was somewhat solemn.
"At the same level as you..."
Ning Fengzhi's expression grew increasingly serious. "To have a level 96 Super Title Douluo as a bodyguard, then the power behind Qiu Hougong... well, let's wait and see for now. Uncle Jian, let's go find Uncle Gu first."
"it is good."
Chen Xin stood up and then followed Ning Fengzhi outside...
Time flies, and it's evening in the blink of an eye.
After having a friendly dinner with Ning Fengzhi at the restaurant and agreeing to stay at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School for a while, Qiu Hougong, accompanied by Ning Rongrong, returned to prepare a room for Qiu Hougong.
"Brother Qiu, I'm going back now. I'll come and get you tomorrow morning, and we'll go out of Tiandou City together."
Standing at the door, Ning Rongrong spoke to Qiu Hougong in a sweet voice.
"Okay, Rongrong. See you tomorrow."
Qiu Hougong said with a smile, and only closed the door after watching Ning Rongrong leave.
"Xiao Qiu, should we send a message to His Holiness the Pope and ask him to send another elder to protect you?"
Seeing Qiu Hougong close the door and walk in, Ling Yuan, who was originally lying on Qiu Hougong's big bed, propped herself up and walked to Qiu Hougong's side to help him change his clothes.
Although Ling Yuan had already broken through to level 96 in soul power with Qiu Hou Gong's help, this was, after all, within the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, which had two super titled Douluo and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda for support. If any conflicts arose, she was not absolutely certain that she could ensure Qiu Hou Gong's safety.
"It's alright, Sister Lingyuan. Just tell Mother where we are. There's no need to trouble the other elders to come over."
After changing his clothes, Qiu Hougong opened the packaging and took out his beloved white jade walnuts, while saying to Ling Yuan.
"Is this... really okay? I don't feel like it's safe enough."
Ling Yuan replied.
"Have confidence in yourself, Sister Lingyuan. Besides, we don't necessarily have to fight Ning Fengzhi and the others, after all, we still have Rongrong..."
Hefting the two white jade walnuts, each larger than his palm, Qiu Hougong rubbed them together with his hands and said to Ling Yuan, "There are still many opportunities to get Ning Fengzhi to willingly join our Spirit Hall."
"Okay... I'll do whatever you say, I'll agree to whatever you want to do..."
Ling Yuan nodded, then placed her jade-like hand on Qiu Hougong's hand to help him become more familiar with the techniques and strength required for handling walnuts...
The next day, after spending a day exploring Heaven Dou City with Ning Rongrong and the other three women, Qiu Hougong did not return to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School with them. Instead, he went to the Martial Soul Temple stationed in Heaven Dou City.
"Platformed Archbishop Salas greets the young master!"
Inside the Platinum Bishop's office, Salas bowed respectfully to Qiu Hougong. Although he didn't know why Qiu Hougong was there, it didn't prevent him from fully cooperating with whatever Qiu Hougong might arrange for him next.
"No need for formalities..."
Qiu Hougong waved to Salas and then said to him, "Bishop Salas, I want to go into the Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace to find my sister. Do you have a way to contact my sister?"
"Reporting to the young master, there is..."
Salas replied without hesitation, "Ever since His Holiness the Pope ordered it eight years ago, a secret passage has been built in the temple that leads directly to Young Master Xue's bedroom. Young Master can enter from there."
"Okay, take me there."
Qiu Hougong said.
"Yes, young master, please follow me this way."
Salas said respectfully, then led Qiu Hougong toward the bottom of the Martial Soul Temple.
Entering through a hidden door, Salas came to a beautifully crafted carpet, lifted it, and then opened a metal door beneath the carpet. "Young Master, this is the secret passage."
"Yes, thank you for your trouble."
Qiu Hougong nodded, and then jumped in...
The Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace, the Crown Prince's Residence.
Inside the palace, Qian Renxue, who had just met with Emperor Xueye, was changing and resting in a secret room when she suddenly heard the bookshelf next to her vibrate.
"Is this the secret passage leading to the Spirit Temple?"
Looking at the secret passage where movement had first appeared, Qian Renxue wondered who could have entered from here, while her heart also fluttered with excitement, as if something exciting was about to happen.
Click! Buzz...
As the bookshelf moved, a figure that filled Qian Renxue with immense joy and excitement appeared before her eyes.
"Little Qiu?!"
"Sister, it's me. I've come to see you."
Upon receiving the reply, Qian Renxue ran straight to Qiu Hougong's side and hugged him tightly, saying, "Little Qiu, it really is you. You've come to see your sister."
"Yes, sis."
Qiu Hougong gently patted Qian Renxue's back and said softly.
Although Qian Renxue was currently in the 'Snow Clearing River' state, Qiu Hougong didn't care at all. After all, he liked Qian Renxue as a person, not just her appearance. So he didn't care what Qian Renxue looked like now, as long as it was Qian Renxue.
"Xiao Qiu, quick, let's go inside and talk."
Suppressing her joy for the time being, Qian Renxue first distanced herself slightly from Qiu Hougong, then took Qiu Hougong's hand and walked into the secret room.
"Xiao Qiu, what brings you to the Heaven Dou Empire? Does Mother know?"
After closing the secret chamber, Qian Renxue removed her disguise and asked Qiu Hougong. Because it wasn't time to contact him yet, the information Qian Renxue had was still from when she was asked to return to Wuhun City to celebrate Qiu Hougong's birthday, so she didn't know that Qiu Hougong had already come out.
“My mother knows, how could I dare to leave Wuhun City without her permission?”
Looking at Qian Renxue's stunning beauty, Qiu Hougong smiled as he answered, but his heart couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement.
Over the years, Qiu Hougong has met and been in contact with many top beauties, but compared to them, the ones who attracted him the most were Bibi Dong and her daughter Qian Renxue, because they were just too perfect, whether in terms of looks, figure or temperament.
"Hehehe...you're just being cheeky..."
Qian Renxue covered her mouth and chuckled twice, then reached out and tapped Qiu Hougong's forehead, asking, "How long have you been in the Heavenly Dou Empire? Have you encountered any trouble?"
"I haven't been in the Heaven Dou Empire for very long, and as for trouble, I have indeed encountered some..."
Qiu Hougong answered truthfully, saying that Qian Renxue would find out sooner or later anyway, and hiding it now would only make her angry.
"You little rascal, this is just a minor problem..."
After hearing Qiu Hougong's story, Qian Renxue, feeling a little alarmed, grabbed Qiu Hougong's ear and gently tugged at it. "Being targeted by Tang Hao is considered a minor problem? If it weren't for your mother's foresight in sending her clone to follow you, you would have been in danger, you know?"
"I know, I know, Sister Xue, please spare me. This will never happen again."
Seeing Qian Renxue's 'anger', Qiu Hougong quickly begged for mercy.
"Hmph~ I'll let you off this time, but if you do it again, see how I deal with you..."
Qian Renxue, having released Qiu Hougong's ear, waved her small fist, then frowned and said, "This Tang San, Dai Mubai, and Ma Hongjun actually dare to target you. I'll issue an arrest warrant right now and bring them all back to be tortured properly."
"Sister Xue, no need..."
Qiu Hougong stepped forward and wrapped his arms around Qian Renxue's supple waist. "Your 'teacher,' Grand Master Ning Fengzhi, has already sent people to capture him. Sister, you don't need to worry about this anymore."
“No, Ning Fengzhi is Ning Fengzhi. He’s standing up for his daughter, so I have to stand up for you too.”
Qian Renxue let Qiu Hougong embrace her, but she still didn't intend to give up on the matter of capturing Tang San.
"Alright, then we'll do as my sister says..."
Seeing Qian Renxue like this, Qiu Hougong didn't stop her anymore, and then asked with concern, "How have you been lately, sister? Has Xueye made things difficult for you?"
"No, Xiao Qiu, don't worry..."
Qian Renxue gently patted Qiu Hougong's large hand around her waist and said confidently, "Now I have almost completely taken control of the Tiandou Empire's government. Now I just need to wait for Xueye to die so that I can completely seize power. At that time, the entire Tiandou Empire will belong to our Spirit Hall."
