Douluo: Martial Soul White Tiger, I am the White Emperor of Heaven

Chapter 283 Gu Rong's Doubts

"Chen Xin, look at the rubbish you wrote in your letter. Do you even believe it yourself?"

"The fourth spirit ring is close to 40,000 years old? A normal person's fourth spirit ring is only close to 10,000 years old."

"As for the fourth ring, which is 40,000 years old, I've never even heard of it!"

"And what you said in your letter, that he forced you to use his trump card, 'Sword Dao Chen Xin,' before he could barely subdue you?"

"They even said that he lost because he wasn't familiar with his soul skills, otherwise the outcome would have been uncertain?"

"I think it's clearly because you're getting old and soft-hearted, deliberately holding back, or maybe your skills have simply declined."

Chen Xin didn't care about Gu Rong's teasing and questioning; he was already used to Gu Rong arguing with him.

Therefore, he merely curled a playful smile at the corner of his mouth.

"If you don't believe me, try it yourself. But if you lose, don't blame me for not warning you."

"Just give it a try..."

Gu Rong was unfazed by Chen Xin's provocation and simply nodded.

Boom boom boom!
Just as Gu Rong was about to say something, there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Who is it?! And they have such a knack for picking the right time?!"

Interrupted from watching the show, Ning Rongrong's temper flared up instantly. She turned her head towards the door and gave a disgruntled scolding.

Soon, the door was gently pushed open, and the portly manager spoke cautiously, with utmost respect and trepidation:

"Little princess, it's me. I'm sorry to bother you."

Upon hearing that he was the manager of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Ning Rongrong raised her eyebrows:
"Hmph! It's you, you fat bastard?"

"You'd better have something really important to do, or you can wait and see how I 'reward' you when I get back!"

His words were filled with undisguised arrogance.

The portly manager wiped non-existent cold sweat from his forehead, his face plastered with a fawning smile:

"Princess, Sect Master, and the three lords, I am truly sorry to have disturbed your enjoyment."

"Is such that……"

"Prince Dai Chengfeng has arrived. He specifically asked to see the little princess."

"Dai Chengfeng?!"

These three words, like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, instantly stirred up various reactions.

Ning Rongrong was taken aback at first, then the dissatisfaction in her beautiful eyes was instantly replaced by surprise:

"He came to see me?"

"Quick! Let him in! What are you all standing there for!"

Even Chen Xin, who had been indifferent, now had a faint smile on his face.

"Well, we were just talking about the main character, and here he is?"

"Hmph! You came just in time!"

A fierce glint flashed in Gu Rong's eyes, and a cold, excited smile spread across his lips.

"Chen Xin described him in glowing terms, but today I'll personally test him to see if he's truly a peerless genius with three heads and six arms, or just a pretty face who only knows how to bluff and show off!"

Ning Fengzhi, the sect leader who controlled the vast Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, smiled gently, nodded to the manager, and said softly:
"Since we have such an honored guest, what are we waiting for? Please invite His Highness Dai Chengfeng in."

The manager quickly bowed and agreed, then went out to relay the message.

The atmosphere inside the private room had already become subtle and tense even before Dai Chengfeng stepped in.

Only Ning Rongrong seemed oblivious, or perhaps indifferent, her face filled with pure anticipation for Dai Chengfeng's impending arrival.

…………

…………

Soon, the door was pushed open again.

Light streamed in from the doorway, outlining a tall, imposing figure. Dai Chengfeng had just entered; before he could even scan the room, he spotted Ning Fengzhi, sitting beside the main seat, exuding an extraordinary aura and wearing a gentle smile.

But when his gaze swept past Ning Fengzhi and landed on the tall, bony old man beside him with eyes as sharp as a hawk's.

Even though Dai Chengfeng was a calm and composed man, a hint of surprise couldn't help but flash across his eyes.

"It's them? Ning Fengzhi and Bone Douluo Gu Rong?"

Dai Chengfeng's mind raced.

"The sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, along with two 'pillars of the sea,' have actually come to Heaven Dou City..."

"Could it be that something is about to happen?"

And this time.

"Dai Chengfeng!"

Ning Rongrong's clear voice shattered Dai Chengfeng's guess.

Like a jubilant little deer, she hopped over to Dai Chengfeng in a few steps, a hint of pride in her eyes and an undisguised affection.

"Look, look! You wouldn't believe it, my dad and Grandpa Bone are here too!"

Her slender finger pointed to the refined and composed middle-aged man, "This is my father, the sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Sect Master Ning Fengzhi!"

Ning Fengzhi's smile remained unchanged. He nodded slightly to Dai Chengfeng, his voice warm and mellow, carrying the air of a great sect leader.
“My daughter is unruly. I have heard that Your Highness took good care of her in the Star Dou Great Forest. I am extremely grateful.”

Dai Chengfeng instantly concealed the surprise in his eyes, gave Ning Fengzhi an elegant bow, and spoke in a tone that was neither humble nor arrogant:

"Sect Leader Ning, you flatter me."

Then, Ning Rongrong pointed to the tall, elderly man beside her with sharp, eagle-like eyes and an unusual physique:
"Look, this is our Grandpa Bone! Gu Rong, the Bone Douluo, whose title is 'Bone,' is an incredibly powerful Title Douluo!"

"There are very few people on the entire continent who can defeat Grandpa Bones!"

Dai Chengfeng nodded, "Greetings, Senior Gu Rong."

Gu Rong nodded, remaining seated without moving, his sharp gaze scrutinizing Dai Chengfeng from head to toe.

"Kid, you're Dai Chengfeng?"

Dai Chengfeng sensed Gu Rong's undisguised scrutiny, met his gaze without flinching, and responded frankly:

"It is indeed I. May I ask what instructions Your Excellency Bone Douluo may have?"

"Humph!"

Gu Rong snorted coldly, "I dare not presume to offer guidance. I heard that old fellow Chen Xin praise you to the skies, saying you're unparalleled in heaven and earth, mentioning things like the fourth ring at 40,000 years old, and how you forced him to use 'Sword Dao Chen Xin'..."

"It makes me so eager to try it, my hands are itching too."

He paused, his tone suddenly becoming sharp, "But I feel that the old guy is getting old, his eyesight is failing, and he sees everyone as a genius."

"Kid, tell me yourself, are you really that powerful?"

His words were blunt, and Ning Rongrong opened her mouth to speak, but was stopped by a subtle look from Chen Xin.

Chen Xin leaned back in his chair, arms crossed, the playful smile on his lips never fading, as if to say:

The show is about to begin.

On the other hand, facing Gu Rong's blunt question, Dai Chengfeng did not feign modesty.

"Not bad!"

"The age of my fourth spirit ring is indeed as high as 35,000 years."

"As for the battle with His Majesty Sword Douluo..."

Dai Chengfeng paused, his gaze sweeping calmly over Chen Xin before finally refocusing on Gu Rong's sharp eyes.

"Your Excellency Sword Douluo is a top expert of our time. I used all my strength, and if Your Excellency Sword Douluo had not shown mercy, I would have been in grave danger."

"is it?"
