Douluo Continent: Saving Zhang Lexuan at the Start

Chapter 58 The Unseen Horror

As the most prosperous sect in Douluo Continent, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School still maintains a good relationship with Shrek Academy.

At least for now, things are still pretty good. After all, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School has played a significant role in Shrek City's ability to generate an annual income equivalent to the value of a top-tier soul bone.

Under the pitch-black night sky, the city is ablaze with lights, and half of that is thanks to the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Ye Ying wasn't into that kind of person; it was just that the night view was quite pleasing to him.

While Ye Ying was comfortable, some others were not, such as Ning Yu, the young master of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, who was sitting in front of Ye Ying.

"Brother Ye, the lights are nice, but don't be too careful."

Although Ning Yu was able to endure it, he gave up some ideas after realizing that Ye Ying was quite difficult to deal with.

Ye Ying turned around and smiled slightly, "Sorry, I got a little lost in thought. I wonder where Brother Ning left off."

"Hehe, it's a rare natural metal. My Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School just happens to have a batch that has been smelted recently, and I was thinking of giving it to you as a favor. I just don't know if Brother Ye can make me go home and report back happily."

"That depends on whether you, the young master of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, have the ability."

This time, it wasn't Ye Ying who spoke, but Zhang Lexuan, who had been slowly and carefully savoring the unique dishes of the Nine-Colored Goddess Pavilion.

My daughter is just like any other girl; she enjoys delicious food.

She hadn't said a word since she came in, so her sudden opening of her mouth surprised Ning Yu.

"Miss Zhang, what do you mean by that? The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School has been passed down for over ten thousand years, so we do have some skills."

Ning Yu glanced at Ye Ying casually, only to find that she didn't react at all. He secretly wondered to himself: His fiancée is not simple!

Marriages between prominent families are invariably between the strong marrying the weak.

However, the Ye family is somewhat different. Although the Zhang family is also a powerful clan, it is far inferior to the Ye family.

Then I realized that Zhang Lexuan was not even thirteen years old, yet she already had the cultivation of a Soul Master.

Ning Yu also understood that even within the Ye family, Zhang Lexuan's status was quite extraordinary.

Although Zhang Lexuan is not used to the business dealings within the family, it doesn't mean she doesn't understand anything.

On the contrary, she was very clear about the petty scheming and backstabbing among large families.

Since Ye Ying couldn't speak up right now, she naturally had to play chess with Ning Yu instead.

This was something Ye Ying and Zhang Lexuan had prepared in advance before coming to Jiubaolou.

"I have faith in the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School's resources, so I'll be direct: do you have access to the soul-guided forging equipment and rare metal smelting methods produced by the Sun Moon Empire?"

Hearing Zhang Lexuan's outrageous demands, Ning Yu's face showed a look that said, "Are you kidding me?"

Soul-guided forging equipment and rare metal smelting methods—even if he could obtain them, let alone not being able to, he wouldn't be here today seeking cooperation with the Ye family, let alone the possibility of the two families taking things a step further.

"The Sun and Moon Empire is far away, and it is really beyond our reach."

The Ning family's ability to make the impossible sound so elegant and refined is a testament to their refined and unconventional nature.

Ye Ying gently stroked Zhang Lexuan's warm and smooth hand, the corners of her mouth turned up, and a smile always appeared in her eyes. "Alright, Sister Xuanxuan, don't make things difficult for Young Master Ning. Those things are unlikely to happen. Even the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School is probably powerless to help."

Ye Ying and Zhang Lexuan worked together seamlessly, intentionally giving this cunning young master of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School a full bottle of eye drops.

Zhang Jingrong didn't react in time. After all, her mission in this life was to protect Ning Yu. Even if it meant dying for Ning Yu, she wouldn't hesitate for a moment.

She had been diligently practicing swordsmanship and meditating, but she still didn't understand it.

Ning Yu, the only one who understood, had a slightly stiff smile on his face. "How about this, Brother Ye, I can make the decision on rare metals or soul tools below level seven. You can make a list for me later."

"7

Ye Ying and Zhang Lexuan exchanged a knowing glance. "Why didn't you say that earlier? There was no need to waste words like this."

Of course, what Ning Yu promised was the limit that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School could obtain; a level six soul tool was the highest level that the Douluo Three Kingdoms could smuggle from the Sun Moon Empire.

As for those above level seven, Ye Ying remembered that Xiao Hongchen could get extremely angry over a level seven Heaven-Opening Earth-Piercing Cannon.

It is evident that this level seven soul tool is very rare, unless there are truly troublemakers in the Sun Moon Empire who disregard the imperial ban.

Ye Ying couldn't make a list in a short time; she could only go back and think about it carefully.

When Ye Ying and Zhang Lexuan left, it was already late at night, and even the lights of Shrek City had dimmed somewhat.

After seeing the two off, Ning Yu returned to the Nine-Colored Goddess Pavilion and immediately overturned the table, startling even Zhang Jingrong.

However, Ning Yu is not only her young master, but she must stand by Ning Yu's side no matter what.

"That damned little bastard, does he really look down on our Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School that much?!"

His refined demeanor vanished instantly, and his disheveled hair made him look like a demon who had walked out of hell.

Zhang Jingrong was also a little scared; she had never seen the gentle and refined Ning Yu turn out like this.

"Xiaoyu, calm down!"

A red-haired man walked in, and his aura immediately made Ning Yu forcefully calm down.

"Greetings, Elder Wu!"

Even Ning Yu, the young master of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, remained extremely well-behaved in front of the man, daring not to show the slightest disrespect!

If Ye Ying were here, he would definitely recognize that the person in front of him was none other than Wu Changyun, the one who had fought against his uncle.

"Xiaoyu, that kid has a powerful backer. I know what you're up to, but you need to understand that in the Douluo Continent, might makes right."

Ning Yu bowed respectfully. "Thank you, Elder Wu. I have learned a lot. However, he looks down on our Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School. We are, after all, a first-class sect."

Seeing Ning Yu's eyes filled with resentment, Wu Changyun felt somewhat disappointed, but since he wasn't a member of the Ning family, he wouldn't get involved in certain matters.

However, he couldn't bear to do it. "So what if it's a major sect? The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School has been able to continue for ten thousand years because of this, and that's all it is. Why do you have to force it?"

After speaking, Wu Changyun slowly left. Only where his palm lightly tapped remained a gleaming gold soul coin, which made Ning Yu fall into deep thought.

Unbeknownst to him, Wu Changyun had already reached the top of the Nine Treasures Pavilion, overlooking the bustling metropolis with its million inhabitants, and felt an indescribable sense of awe.

Before the autumn winds even stir, the cicadas have already sensed it, and the entire Douluo Continent is no longer at peace.

The Star Luo Empire's army moved without even being detected by the Star Luo royal family, their destination being the Sun Moon Empire. A new upheaval was now unstoppable.
