This will not only not affect Lin Chuan, but will actually make him progress faster.
"Whoohoo-"
The flashes of blades were deafening, and the sounds were particularly jarring.
[You've diligently practiced your swordsmanship and made some progress; your archery proficiency has also increased.]
[You use your swordsmanship to gain insight into the mysteries of water, the source of all things, and your understanding of these mysteries deepens.]
[You use your swordsmanship to gain insight into the mysteries of the Fire of All Things, deepening your understanding of its profound meaning.]
[You use your swordsmanship to gain insight into the mysteries of the wind in all things, deepening your understanding of these mysteries.]
[You diligently comprehend the three mysteries of water, fire, and wind, and fuse them through your swordsmanship. As your understanding of swordsmanship deepens, the fusion of the three mysteries of water, fire, and wind increases.]
Each practice session brings new insights, a feeling that is quite fascinating.
With visible results from their efforts, no one would choose to be lazy.
Just as Lin Chuan was engrossed in his cultivation...
Three auras suddenly appeared within the range of perception.
"Why are you here again?"
Lin Chuan paused, his brows furrowing slightly.
But he still put away his Night Shadow Twin Blades and turned to walk towards the front hall.
Ning Fengzhi was walking towards them, holding Ning Rongrong's right hand and with Gu Rong beside him.
"Sect Leader Ning, what brings you here?"
Lin Chuan asked, his face full of doubt.
Ning Fengzhi smiled gently and cupped his hands slightly towards Lin Chuan, "I apologize for disturbing you, Your Highness."
"I have come here to thank the Prince of Zhenbei for taking care of my daughter."
Upon hearing this, Lin Chuan was taken aback.
His expression then turned strange.
Is his memory playing tricks on him?
Although he had previously agreed to let Ning Fengzhi transfer Ning Rongrong to Tianshui Academy, that was about it, right?
Lin Chuan didn't seem to pay much attention to this young lady, and didn't even ask Shui Lanxin about her.
Where does the word "care" come from?
"Let's come in and talk!"
Although Lin Chuan didn't know what Ning Fengzhi was up to, he still invited him into the house.
The group sat down, and a maid who was in charge of cleaning the courtyard brought them tea.
"Sect Leader Ning, there must be some misunderstanding. I have not taken much care of Miss Ning."
Lin Chuan took the initiative to speak.
Ning Fengzhi took a sip of tea and responded with a smile once again.
"Your Highness is too kind. I have already tested Rongrong's soul power, and it has improved considerably. Moreover, she said it was all thanks to the miraculous pills from Tianshui Academy."
"If it weren't for Your Highness's initial agreement, Rongrong wouldn't have had the opportunity to enter Tianshui Academy. Your Highness certainly deserves our gratitude!"
Ning Fengzhi spoke with utmost sincerity.
Most importantly, Lin Chuan actually felt gratitude from him.
For a moment, Lin Chuan couldn't help but feel a little strange.
Could it be that Ning Fengzhi really came to express his gratitude?
A sense of doubt arose in Lin Chuan's mind, but he still smiled and shook his head on the surface.
"Sect Master Ning, you flatter us. As a Soul Master Academy, Tianshui Academy welcomes any Soul Master who meets the requirements to study here."
"Moreover, with the addition of Blazing Fire Academy, Divine Wind Academy and Thunder Academy, the previous rule of only recruiting women and water-attribute soul masters has basically been abolished."
“Miss Ning has good talent and meets the academy’s admission requirements, so she can naturally enter the academy to study.”
"As for those pills, they are cultivation resources provided by the academy to the students. Of course, they are not given away for free; students need to complete certain tasks in exchange for them."
"Therefore, Miss Ning's progress is all due to her own hard work, and there is no need for thanks."
At this point, Lin Chuan looked at Ning Fengzhi with a scrutinizing gaze.
"Sect Leader Ning, if you have something to say, please speak frankly. There's no need to beat around the bush any longer."
Seeing Lin Chuan's directness, Ning Fengzhi had obviously anticipated it.
His expression remained unchanged, and he still wore a gentle smile.
"Your Highness has keen insight. I have indeed come here today to discuss important matters."
Lin Chuan didn't say anything, he just looked at him.
Ning Fengzhi took a deep breath, his expression gradually becoming serious. "I wonder what Your Highness thinks of the Spirit Hall?"
"What do you mean by that, Sect Leader Ning?"
Lin Chuan asked softly, but he already had a certain guess in his mind.
"The Spirit Hall is ambitious and intends to destroy the two great empires and unify the entire continent."
"If it weren't for the prince's great strength, which caused the Spirit Hall to suffer a great loss in Snowfield City, the Spirit Hall would probably have already declared war on the two empires."
Ning Fengzhi's gaze was solemn. "Because of the existence of the Abyss Plane, the Spirit Hall may not take action for the time being."
"But in order to resist the invasion of the Abyss Plane, the armies of the two great empires will undoubtedly become the main force. Even if the Abyss Plane is eventually defeated, it will cause great losses to the strength of the two great empires."
"By then, if the Spirit Hall seizes the opportunity to launch an attack, it will probably be too late to resist."
Hearing such 'serious' words, Lin Chuan's lips curled into a noticeable smile.
"So, Sect Master Ning intends for me to intimidate the Spirit Hall and prevent it from declaring war on the two great empires?"
To everyone's surprise, Ning Fengzhi slowly shook his head.
"Although I hope Your Highness can take action, it is unrealistic. So I just want to ask Your Highness about your attitude towards the Spirit Hall."
"After all, the Spirit Hall has also attacked the prince before."
At this point, Ning Fengzhi looked at Lin Chuan, waiting for the latter's response.
Lin Chuan smiled and shook his head, "Although the Spirit Hall once sent people to attack Snowfield City, the leader, a Super Douluo, was killed by me, and the remaining Soul Masters were captured."
"Snowfield City suffered almost no losses, so there's no real grudge between them."
"Even if there is a grudge, it is the Spirit Hall that hates Snowfield City."
"I don't like trouble. As long as the Spirit Hall doesn't provoke me again, I won't do anything to the Spirit Hall."
Upon hearing these words, Ning Fengzhi's heart sank.
This was clearly different from what he had expected.
In other words, as long as the Spirit Hall doesn't have any designs on Snowfield City, Lin Chuan won't interfere, no matter what the Spirit Hall does.
Is this truly neutrality, or is it a matter of using the Spirit Hall to deal with the Heaven Dou Empire, and then logically defeating the Spirit Hall to take over the empire's power?
Ning Fengzhi obviously had no idea.
But neither of these outcomes is good for the Heaven Dou Empire or the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
"I completely understand that Your Highness is unwilling to get involved in trouble, but what's truly frightening is that the Spirit Hall is unwilling to let Your Highness remain uninvolved!"
Ning Fengzhi spoke again.
Lin Chuan chuckled lightly, "If the Spirit Hall really doesn't know what's good for them, I won't hold back."
"Let's not talk about that anymore. Let's talk about Sect Master Ning and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."
"The Spirit Hall also attacked the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and wiped out nearly half of its outer disciples. Was Sect Master Ning's statement just now intended to seek revenge against the Spirit Hall?"
Faced with Lin Chuan's question, Ning Fengzhi shook his head with a wry smile.
"Your Highness thinks too highly of me!"
"Even the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School at its peak couldn't go head-to-head with the Spirit Hall, let alone now."
"Being able to rely on the Heavenly Dou Empire to continue the sect is already a stroke of luck amidst misfortune. How could we possibly have any thoughts of revenge?"
Chapter 231 Shocking News
Lin Chuan could sense the sincerity in Ning Fengzhi's words.
And the feedback given by mental power indeed contained no trace of falsehood.
It seems that Ning Fengzhi was truly intimidated by the Spirit Hall.
