Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul is the Black Dragon, I am the Lord of the Gods

……

A few days later, Xue Qinghe and Ning Fengzhi had almost finished discussing their matters and it was finally time for Xue Qinghe to leave.

During this period, Xue Qinghe originally wanted Xuanming to get closer to Ning Rongrong, which was also a signal to Ning Fengzhi. However, in practice, Xuanming insisted on having Ning Rongrong cultivate day and night for several days.

Ning Rongrong, who used to complain endlessly after just two hours of cultivation, has been following Xuan Ming without uttering a sound these past few days.

Seeing this, Ning Fengzhi didn't know whether he should be happy or not.

Ning Rongrong was indeed very interested in Xuanming. He had never seen her so eager before, and she even managed to endure the cultivation that she used to find tedious.

The problem is that Xuanming is exactly the same as he was at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, and his attitude towards Ning Rongrong is no different from how he treats other children.

"Fengzhi, the child is still young, why are you in such a hurry?" Gu Rong was somewhat speechless.

"It's not that I'm in a hurry, it's just that if we don't plan ahead for this soon, we might not have another chance," Ning Fengzhi said.

"You've seen what this kid is like. An eight-year-old Great Soul Master, the second ring in a thousand years. With such talent and such a diligent attitude towards cultivation, do you think there wouldn't be a few people who are interested in him?"

“So what if they have designs on me? Do they even deserve it?” Gu Rong said.

"Besides, if the Heavenly Dou royal family really wanted to, they would have directly tried to matchmake their own princess. Why would they send her here?"

“That’s true…” Ning Fengzhi sighed.

"Compared to the Heavenly Dou royal family, you should worry about Dugu Bo's granddaughter first," Gu Rong said.

"They've been together every day. If he were to be kidnapped, would you expect Rongrong to become his concubine?"

"Or... you wouldn't be planning to use this kid to bring the Azure Phosphorous Serpent lineage to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, would you?"

“And there’s also the Nine-Heart Begonia,” Ning Fengzhi said.

"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul is indeed the most powerful support-type Martial Soul on the continent, but the Nine Heart Begonia's terrifying healing ability is irreplaceable in many areas."

“Fengzhi, Rongrong is still young.” Gu Rong did not directly dissuade him, because he knew that no one could shake Ning Fengzhi’s decision. As the head of a sect, he needed to consider the future of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Moreover, if we can really use Xuanming to win over the Jade Phosphorous Serpent and the Nine Heart Begonia to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, some sacrifices are not unacceptable.

However, these things are far more complex than they appear.

Putting aside the Nine Heart Begonia, how could Dugu Bo's granddaughter possibly tolerate such a thing?
Why would Dugu Bo let his granddaughter suffer such injustice?

If this is not handled well, you'll end up pleasing neither side. Not only will you fail to win people over, but you'll also incur the wrath of that old man, Dugu Bo!
To be honest, even he really didn't want to deal with that old poisoner.

He's not afraid of fighting one-on-one, but his opponent might not be willing to fight him one-on-one.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is a large and powerful family. They can't be constantly on edge, guarding against that old poisoner, can they?

"So I just had this idea," Ning Fengzhi said.

"Some things... well, the child is still young, let's see how it goes first. If there's hope, we should try our best to pursue it."

"As the future of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Rongrong also needs to consider the future of the school."

"Dad!" Ning Rongrong, who had gone out of town to see someone off, returned with Chen Xin and her hair in a bun.

"Hmm?" Gu Rong's expression changed slightly.

"You, a swordsman, can even tie your hair now?"

Chen Xin's expression froze. "It was that kid who did it to Rongrong."

"That kid can do this kind of thing?" Gu Rong was somewhat surprised.

"Dad, when are we going to Tiandou Royal Academy?" Ning Rongrong asked.

"They've only just left, and you're already trying to chase after them?" Gu Rong said helplessly.

Ning Fengzhi paused for a moment, then said, "It's not that it's impossible. Anyway, you don't want to cultivate at home. If you go to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy..."

"I'm not going, I'm not going!" Ning Rongrong quickly interrupted.

"not going!"

"too tired!"

Ning Fengzhi's eye twitched slightly. "I really thought you'd changed your ways." "But I'm so tired..." Ning Rongrong lowered her head guiltily.

Normally, she would cultivate for half a day at most, but when she was with Xuanming, it would start from morning and continue until sunset without stopping!
She's been exhausted these past few days!
"Since it's so tiring, why do you still insist on following him?" Ning Fengzhi asked.

“I… want to play with him…” Ning Rongrong blushed, lowered her head, and her two little hands were fighting inside her skirt.

“You…” Ning Fengzhi sighed, unsure whether to be angry or amused.

Just like how little boys fawn over pretty girls and try to get their attention, this little rascal is now fawning over Xuanming too!

While it's good that she's working hard to cultivate, it's really infuriating that my precious daughter is being so attentive to another man!

……

"It seems you and Ning Rongrong get along well."

On the carriage back to Tiandou City, Xue Qinghe's expression was somewhat unnatural as he looked at the glass bracelet storage soul tool that Xuan Ming had suddenly acquired.

“Last night she dragged me to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School’s treasury and tried to stuff things into my hands. When I refused, she cried, so I had no choice but to accept them,” Xuanming said.

"How much did she give you?" Xue Qinghe asked.

“Two black cards worth 100,000 gold soul coins each,” Xuanming said.

"Fifty thousand gold soul coins in cash, and some other random stuff, I don't know what it is."

Xue Qinghe's eye twitched. "So many things, and you just accepted them without saying a word?"

“Otherwise what? If I don’t accept it, she’ll cry,” Xuanming said.

"They say I don't like her, they say I hate her. Even though I know she's acting, I still made her cry on Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's territory. Am I supposed to just leave?"

The Ice Dragon King told him that Chen Xin and Gu Rong had been secretly watching them for the past few days, and he didn't want to cause any trouble.

"What I mean is, couldn't you have just told me?" Xue Qinghe said helplessly.

So many things, how could two children just give them to each other like that?
Children may be ignorant, but adults can't pretend to be ignorant!
“She said these were for me to eat. She saw that I eat too much and was afraid you couldn’t afford to feed me,” Xuanming said.

Xue Qinghe's expression froze. "What exactly did you tell her about me?"

"I didn't say anything, just stating the facts," Xuanming said.

"However, perhaps my expression was not quite accurate, or perhaps her understanding was somewhat incorrect."

"In her eyes, you're probably not a good person now."

“You…” Xue Qinghe took a deep breath.

"Did you do it on purpose?"

"Intentionally? What do you mean by that?" Xuanming asked, puzzled.

"Didn't you want me to get closer to her?"

"Do you really need to trick me to get closer to me?" Xue Qinghe said speechlessly.

"The simplest way to build a closer relationship with children is to empathize with them," Xuanming said.

“She was subjected to all sorts of demands and strict control by her father at home. I’ll tell you about how you’ve been exploited by me, so we can be considered to be in the same boat.”

"Didn't you teach me this? I'm just applying what I've learned."

Xue Qinghe's face darkened. "But when did I exploit you?"

"I've already asked you to deceive the feelings of a six-year-old, and you still have the nerve to ask such a question," Xuanming said.

"I said it wasn't deception, it was just..."

"Yes, yes, it's not deception. It's all for the sake of the people, okay?"

"..." Xue Qinghe.

You always find an opportunity to make sarcastic remarks about me, don't you!
