Douluo Continent: Reincarnated as the Rock King Emperor, Wandering the Mortal World

Chapter 17.17: The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's Method of Making Friends

After a short while, Ning Fengzhi felt no discomfort. He then exchanged a glance with Chen Xin beside him and nodded.

The tea is just ordinary tea, without any "additives" or anything like that.

If Zhongli had malicious intent, she wouldn't have tampered with the tea.

But as the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, he had to be on guard!

Why not let Chen Xin test him?

Ning Fengzhi was testing them; if something went wrong, with Chen Xin there, the two of them could still make it.

If things go wrong during Chen Xin's test, the two of them may not be able to leave safely.

This is why Ning Fengzhi was sent to probe.

How could their little tricks possibly escape the notice of the over 6,000-year-old Deng?

His heart was calm, without any dissatisfaction or unhappiness.

Since it's the first time meeting, it's necessary to be a little cautious.

Everyone present, except for the clueless Paimon, knew exactly what was going on.

After a series of probing attempts, one possibility has been preliminarily ruled out: they are not the enemy...

Since we're not enemies, then we might as well become friends!

Both the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and Ning Fengzhi have their own "methods" for making friends.

No, sincerity!

"I apologize for my intrusion; this is but a small token of my respect."

After saying this, Ning Fengzhi took out two ancient-looking boxes, one large and one small, from his storage soul tool.

He placed the two boxes on the table and then pushed them in front of Zhongli and Paimon respectively.

"Please accept this, Your Majesty Zhongli and Little Paimon."

Ning Fengzhi wore a confident smile.

In just one night, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School had thoroughly investigated Zhongli and Paimeng's actions in Tiandou City over the past two weeks.

Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, and Gu Rong looked at each other after reading the information.

This isn't the information of an unparalleled powerhouse, is it?

Could they have picked up the wrong one?

You get information on a lazy, good-for-nothing playboy or a retired aristocrat...

After confirming it three times, the three of them were numb.

This Title Douluo with twin martial souls is truly unique!

As a titled Douluo-level powerhouse, what's wrong with having a bit of a personality?

The three expressed their understanding.

The first time I met Zhongli.

Even someone as knowledgeable as Ning Fengzhi was taken aback.

His appearance and the air of authority he exuded made him feel astonished.

Isn't the Snow Night Emperor's imperial aura powerful enough?

The aura it exudes is enough to make many people feel apprehensive.

However, his temperament is less than one-tenth of what Zhongli gave him, and that is a very conservative estimate.

Ning Fengzhi was very confident about the gift he had given away; it was of little use to a powerful figure like Zhongli.

However, its intrinsic value is so high that it is not readily available; even if you want to buy it, you may not be able to.

Whether kept as a collectible, given as a gift, or passed down to future generations, it is a fine item.

"Wow, another gift! Thank you, thank you Sect Leader Ning!"

Paimon happily accepted the "gift," completely unaware of its significance.

All she knew was that she had gained happiness.

Yesterday I received a "compensation payment" and some kind of storage soul tool from His Highness the Crown Prince.

Paimon was overjoyed to receive another gift today.

Speaking of what I received yesterday...

Zhongli didn't mention it, and she kept it.

She had no idea what was inside the box or the storage soul tool.

Upon seeing this, Zhongli shook his head. This little guy really does have a pure and innocent heart.

With this kind of mentality, one could definitely make a name for oneself in any other fantasy world.

He briefly sensed the box in front of him and found that it was similar in style to Tang Hao's "compensation" from yesterday, both having the effect of isolating soul power.

The contents inside are probably quite old, perhaps even older than him.

Of course, the person who was so easily sent away by Ning Fengzhi probably isn't much older than him.

It's the kind of thing that's neither good nor bad, but too good to throw away.

In the world of gift-giving, the gifts Ning Fengzhi gave were extremely valuable.

Both the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, which gave the gift, and Zhongli, who received it, were very prestigious.

It's not very practical, though.

Zhongli still enjoys collecting old-fashioned items, so since Ning Fengzhi sincerely gave them to him, he accepted them.

"Sect Leader Ning, you've gone to a lot of trouble."

Zhongli didn't say much, but pushed the box in front of Paimon.

Having experienced this several times before, Paimon understood what Zhongli meant and quickly put the two boxes away.

Seeing that Zhongli accepted it, Ning Fengzhi and Chenxin exchanged another glance, making no attempt to hide their joy.

Accepting such a generous gift means that the "friendship" between the two parties has taken several steps closer!

This is undoubtedly a good thing for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, which is facing a talent shortage.

"I'm glad Your Majesty is pleased. Consider this my daughter's apology for speaking out of turn yesterday."

Upon hearing this, Zhong Li glanced at Ning Fengzhi and looked him over.

Are we getting straight to the point so quickly?

That's good, it saves a lot of time.

"That girl named Rongrong has a similar aura to Sect Master Ning."

"That's right, that's my daughter."

"It's all my fault for not teaching them well over the years..."

Ning Fengzhi also wanted to teach Ning Rongrong, but what could he do?

Who told Chenxin and Gurong to treat her like a treasure? He can't even say a few words to her, so how can he teach her?

Thinking of this, Ning Fengzhi glanced at Chen Xin with a look full of resentment.

Feeling guilty, Chen turned his head away, avoiding looking at Ning Fengzhi.

Ning Rongrong turned into a little witch, and he and Gu Rong bear an inescapable responsibility for it, but Ning Fengzhi, don't you bear any responsibility either?

Don't you spoil her too?

Fortunately, Ning Rongrong only had a bit of a spoiled young lady's temper, unlike those real playboys, which made Ning Fengzhi breathe a sigh of relief.

"Ning Rongrong is an innocent and lively young girl with a girlish heart. She is loyal, affectionate, and righteous..."

Zhong Li praised him without reservation, and after about five minutes, he stopped amidst the bewildered gazes of Paimon, Ning Fengzhi, and Chen Xin.

Not a single word of these statements was repeated; it must be said, Zhong Li's knowledge is indeed very broad...

This made Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin doubt whether Ning Rongrong was really that good.

Chung Li stated that taking the gifts and then praising the other party's daughter against his conscience was not a big deal at all.

As for how much of what they said is true, that remains to be seen.

As far as Zhongli knew, when the sword broke and bones were fractured, this young lady Ning Rongrong did not shed a single tear.

Those were her two grandfathers who doted on her the most.

Tang San died, and she cried her heart out...

How should I put it? It's a bit like crying at the wrong grave.

Zhongli, as a god of Liyue and a person from that kingdom, has relatively sound values. Just because he doesn't say it doesn't mean he doesn't feel disgust.
