Douluo: Starting from the Nine-Curved Vine Dragon

Chapter 180 Identify yourself
Soon, Tai Long delivered the gift and returned to Tang San.

According to the order of arrival, the next person to present a gift was Lawrence, the Platinum Bishop of the Spirit Hall. The guests present paid great attention to him, even more than the Tiandou royal family.

As the saying goes, there are three things a new official needs to do when taking office.

It has only been half a month since Lawrence took the position of bishop of the Wuhun Hall in Tiandou City. He needs to do something to establish his authority in the Wuhun Hall.

At the same time, as the highest authority in the Spirit Hall in the Tiandou Empire, Lawrence's every word and action represents the attitude of the Spirit Hall.

The previous Platinum Bishop Salas was removed from his position as the Bishop of the Wuhun Hall in Tiandou City because he took the blame.

The alliance between the Spirit Hall and the Tiandou Empire was also terminated due to the surprise attack by the Sea God Empire.

The Tiandou Empire lost 200,000 troops, and the Spirit Hall lost five Titled Douluo.

This kind of loss is enough to cause serious damage to both major forces.

Therefore, the alliance between the Tiandou Empire and the Spirit Hall not only failed to recover the lost territory of the Western Border Province, but also to some extent aggravated the already disharmonious relationship between the two sides.

The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect is on good terms with the Tiandou royal family, and this is well known in Tiandou City.

The level of gift Lawrence gave at the engagement party could indirectly reflect whether Spirit Hall's current attitude towards the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect is good or bad.

Under everyone's attention, Lawrence walked calmly to the center of the garden. When he passed by Ning Fengzhi, Jian Douluo and Bone Douluo, his steps seemed to pause.

"Jian Dao Chen Xin, you'd better remember this!" Lawrence cursed in his heart.

The moment he walked in front of Jian Douluo, Jian Douluo's invisible sword energy scratched his exposed skin. Although his skin was not scratched under his deliberate control, the burning pain of the sword energy scratching his skin was far more painful than having his skin scratched.

Moreover, Jian Douluo controlled the degree of sword energy just right, which could intimidate Lawrence without making him cry out in pain and lose face.

Lawrence was holding his breath, but there was no sign of abnormality on his old face.

He just waved his hand, and the storage soul guide on his body flashed continuously, and dozens of dazzling objects suddenly appeared on the ground in the garden.

After a few seconds, the light faded.

After everyone saw the gifts on the ground, they immediately knew what was going on.

The gifts that Lawrence brought out, both in quantity and quality, were just barely in line with the status of the Spirit Hall. There was nothing outstanding in the gifts or anything that could show his thoughtfulness.

Even so, in everyone's opinion, the preciousness of this gift is second only to the gift given by the Tiandou royal family.

Lin Rong felt that the result was normal.

After all, the Spirit Hall lost five Titled Douluo at once, and these five Titled Douluo were all affiliated with Pope Bibi Dong, not the Worship Hall.

Bibi Dong's power in the Spirit Hall has now fallen to its lowest point in history.

Right now.

Bibi Dong is busy with her love affair with Yu Xiaogang, busy with the progress of the Rakshasa God assessment, and busy dealing with factional struggles and daily affairs within the Spirit Hall.

It can be said that even if I had three heads and six arms, I would be too busy to have time to take care of other things.

In this special period, it is the best choice for the Spirit Hall to maintain a superficially distant relationship with the major forces on the continent. After delivering the gift, Lawrence did not return to his previous position, but left the garden without saying a word and walked straight out of the castle.

"Uncle Jian." Ning Fengzhi saw Lawrence leaving, and calmly used his soul power to send a message to Jian Douluo beside him:
"Don't do this anymore."

"Definitely next time." In response, Jian Douluo used his soul power to transmit the voice, but his emotionless tone and casual attitude showed that he didn't take the matter to heart at all.

"Feng Zhi, I support the old bitch this time." Gu Douluo at the side also interrupted with soul power transmission:
"This is Rongrong's once-in-a-lifetime engagement party. None of us knows the attitude of the Spirit Hall beforehand. It would be better to let the old bitch give Lawrence a small warning."

Hearing this, Ning Fengzhi said nothing more and sat there silently watching the gift-giving process continue.

……

Half a day later.

The grand engagement party ended and the guests left one after another.

At the banquet, Lin Rong sat on a chair and said to the people around him: "Grandpa, you go first, I have something to discuss with Sect Master Ning."

"Okay! I was thinking of taking you home to sit for a while." Du Qianyuan stood up from his chair with some regret and said goodbye to his grandson:
"Rong'er, when you have time in the future, remember to come back and see grandpa more often. Don't forget."

After saying that, Du Qianyuan patted Lin Rong's head for the last time, and left the banquet hall of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect with Zhiming and Ye Wenxin.

Across the hall.

Ning Fengzhi had just finished discussing a large hidden weapon order with Tang San, and watched Tang San and his little follower Tai Long leave the hall.

After Tang San's figure disappeared from sight, Ning Fengzhi looked back and found that among the guests who had left, only Lin Rong was still sitting at the banquet with no intention of leaving.

The two looked at each other, Ning Fengzhi habitually showed an elegant and easy-going smile, and Lin Rong also nodded gently.

A few minutes passed.

Lin Rong and the old butler were the only guests left in the banquet hall.

"Duke Lin, the last time we met was last time." At this time, Ning Fengzhi came over and sat down next to Lin Rong, and said very casually:
"Come to think of it, this should be our first time meeting in private, without outsiders present."

"I wonder if the fan I gave you last time is still comfortable to use?"

Ning Fengzhi knew that Lin Rong must have something to discuss with him, but he did not take the initiative to mention it. Instead, he talked about other things in a roundabout way.

Only by letting the other party speak out can you take the initiative in the matter.

"It's okay." Lin Rong looked at Ning Fengzhi and said in a calm tone:
"But diamonds and emeralds, plus two million gold soul coins, are not enough to offset a favor."

"If Miss Ning's Seven Treasure Glazed Tower had not evolved, the inheritance of the Nine-Colored Goddess might not have chosen her, and you wouldn't have gotten Oscar, the inheritor of the God of Food, as your son-in-law."

"How do you plan to repay such a huge favor, Sect Master Ning?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of Ning Fengzhi, Jian Douluo, Bone Douluo, Ning Rongrong, and Oscar, who were still in the banquet hall, changed at the same time.

Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo directly released their martial spirits and spirit rings, and appeared behind Ning Fengzhi in a flash, staring at Lin Rong with murderous eyes. As long as Ning Fengzhi gave the order, they could take his life at any time.
