Douluo Continent: So What If I Reincarnate as Ning Rongrong?

Chapter 24 Ning Fengzhi's Demeanor

Upon seeing Ning Fengzhi and Bone Douluo, Dugu Bo quickly stood up.

It was the first time Dugu Yan had seen her grandfather so reserved, so she stood up as well.

"There's no need for that, Your Majesty Dugu." Ning Fengzhi's voice was like a gentle breeze, carrying a natural affinity.

"I have had several dealings with Your Majesty, so we can be considered friends. Let's just treat this as a casual chat among friends."

Ning Fengzhi gestured for Dugu Bo to sit down, saying there was no need for such a grand display.

Dugu Bo remained silent for a while, then slowly sat down.

Dugu Yan, standing to the side, dared not.

Ning Fengzhi looked at her and said with a smile:

"There's no need to worry too much, Miss Dugu Yan. Whether or not Your Majesty has joined the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Your Majesty and I are still friends."

"You...you know me?" Dugu Yan's voice trembled slightly. It was hard to imagine that the sect leader of the number one sect in the world, second only to the Spirit Hall, actually knew about a nobody like him.

That's right, just a small fry.

On the way here, Dugu Bo gave Dugu Yan a brief overview of all the forces in Douluo Continent.

He clearly told Dugu Yan that although he was a level 91 Title Douluo, he was glorious on the surface, but in reality, he was nothing special among Title Douluos.

Dugu Yan only just realized that titled Douluo were also divided into different ranks, and that her grandfather was actually at the bottom.

"Miss Dugu's talent and strength are quite well-known at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy."

"I've also heard about it from some Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School disciples studying at the academy," Ning Fengzhi said with a smile.

"Is...is that so?" Under Ning Fengzhi's praise, Dugu Yan's somewhat uneasy mood gradually calmed down.

After comforting Dugu Yan, Ning Fengzhi turned his gaze to Dugu Bo again: "I wonder what Your Majesty's impression of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is?"

"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is so wealthy that it rivals a nation, and everyone knows about it. Its support abilities are unparalleled in the world," Dugu Bo replied thoughtfully.

"Would Your Majesty be willing to join the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?"

Ning Fengzhi ignored Dugu Bo's praise, but he still insisted on making the invitation.

"If I say no, does that mean Sect Leader Ning is unwilling to sell the antidote to Dugu Bo?" Dugu Bo countered.

After he finished speaking, the entire living room became somewhat quiet.

Bone Douluo frowned slightly.

Dugu Bo is too arrogant!

However, seeing Ning Rongrong shake her head slightly out of the corner of his eye, Bone Douluo quieted down and swallowed the words that were about to come out.

Bone Douluo knew very well that he was no match for Ning Fengzhi in terms of intellect.

Even Rongrong couldn't compare to him in terms of cunning and maneuvering; otherwise, she wouldn't have been tricked into joining the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School back then, and later be impressed by Ning Fengzhi's demeanor.

Let Ning Fengzhi handle the brain-taxing matters himself!

"Hahahahaha." Ning Fengzhi's loud laughter broke the somewhat tense atmosphere. He waved his hand.

"Your Majesty Dugu, you are joking. We, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, are merchants. Helping Your Majesty detoxify is naturally a business deal."

"There's no need for us to hide things from each other when it comes to an exchange of equal value. Besides, the favor of a Title Douluo is also very valuable."

"However, for matters of mutual benefit, I still hope that Your Majesty can join the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."

"I can promise Your Majesty that as long as you join the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and do not betray the school, the medicinal herbs within the school will be available to you around the clock."

"I believe this promise still has value!"

"hiss--"

Dugu Bo gasped, his emerald pupils dilating slightly.

It has to be said that Dugu Bo was tempted by this offer.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School became the wealthiest sect in the world mainly due to the unique properties of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.

Soul Masters with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda possess strong treasure appraisal abilities, including identifying rare medicinal herbs.

As a medicine expert, Dugu Bo desperately wanted someone like that to help him.

After all, his secret herb garden contained many things that were obviously rare medicinal herbs, but he didn't know how to use them.

"Dad..." Ning Rongrong's voice rang out, she was a little unsure of her father's thoughts.

Although I had considered giving Dugu Bo full access to the medicine storehouse when I was talking to him earlier.

However, this approach can sometimes be very dangerous, and certain conditions should be set.

It's acceptable emotionally, but not rationally.

If Dugu Bo has any ulterior motives, the entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will be severely damaged!

"Rongrong, I am the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."

Ning Fengzhi glanced at Ning Rongrong, who seemed hesitant to speak, then shifted his gaze slightly, "I believe in His Majesty Dugu's value."

Ning Rongrong: "..."

Why does this sound so familiar?

Oh well, never mind.

As long as nothing major goes wrong, that's fine. In any case, Dugu Bo's character should be trustworthy.

"Sect Leader Ning, I am very interested in your proposal," Dugu Bo said with a sigh.

"But how confident are you in curing the poison in me and Yanyan?"

"Nothing can be 100% perfect," Ning Fengzhi replied.

"The poison in your body requires a combination of extreme cold and extreme heat to be expelled."

"But we need to discuss the specific steps in more detail."

"I suggest you go to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School for further observation; that way, a more suitable solution can be adopted."

"I understand, I need to think about it." Dugu Bo stood up.

"After His Highness the Crown Prince's apprenticeship ceremony, I will decide whether to go to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School some time after Sect Master Ning returns to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."

"As for whether I'll go or not, I'll contact you later, okay?"

"Of course, Your Majesty can come and go as you please. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is also a reputable sect."

Ning Fengzhi smiled slightly, then took out an exquisite jade box from his storage soul tool.

"Consider this a gift for Your Majesty."

"What is this?" Dugu Bo took the jade box, slowly opened it, and his expression was quite surprised when he saw what was inside.

Soul bone, it's actually a soul bone.

A soul bone that is over ten thousand years old.

"Sect Leader Ning, this is far too precious."

Dugu Bo pushed the jade box back, intending to return it to Ning Fengzhi.

Ning Fengzhi blocked it with his hand and said with a smile:

"Since it's been given away, there's no reason to take it back."

"Inside is a 30,000-year-old defensive soul bone, with a note on it containing all the soul bone's skills," Ning Fengzhi continued.

"Although the Soul Bone is not suitable for Your Majesty, it may still have other uses."

"However, it is entirely up to Your Majesty to decide how to use it. After all, the Soul Bone already belongs to you, and it would be somewhat unethical for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to interfere further."

Dugu Boshen glanced at Ning Fengzhi.

He then looked at the note next to the jade box, which contained various information about the soul bone.

After a long while, Dugu Bo sighed:

"Sect Leader Ning, I am very grateful for your sincerity. I will definitely go to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School after this ceremony."

Afterwards, Dugu Bo left the residence with Dugu Yan.

The room fell silent again.

"Giving a 30,000-year-old soul bone to Dugu Bo like this is a bit wasteful, isn't it? He hasn't even agreed to anything yet," Bone Douluo couldn't help but say.

"Elder Bone," Ning Fengzhi said.

"After confirming the soul bone, Dugu Bo immediately pushed it back instead of keeping it for himself. A person's first reaction often confirms their inner thoughts."

"He is a loyal and affectionate person, and knowing that is enough."
