Chapter 293 The Invitation from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School (Seeking Monthly Tickets!)

"Where did you learn so much nonsense!" Han Feng calmed the flutter in his heart, affectionately rubbed Ning Rongrong's delicate nose, and scolded her without any force.

"I learned it from you!" Ning Rongrong said confidently and sweetly, without any fear.

"Uh..." Han Feng looked embarrassed and couldn't find any words to refute Ning Rongrong for a moment.

Ning Rongrong, however, ignored all of that, leaning lazily against Han Feng's chest, playing with his slightly wavy hair. Noticing the faint hint of ferocity in Han Feng's eyes, her gaze flowed like water. She reached out and gently rubbed the unconscious furrow in Han Feng's brow, softly saying, "The far north must be very dangerous, right?"

Ning Rongrong didn't care about Han Feng's curly hair.

Although Han Feng was different from before, lacking the dashing look he had with straight hair, he had gained a touch of domineering wildness. However, the change in Han Feng's expression hidden deep in his eyes made Ning Rongrong feel heartache.

Han Feng's gaze was once as clear as spring water. Although his quirky sense of humor sometimes tinged it with a hint of teasing or mockery, his eyes were always like the white clouds in the sky, refreshing and delightful—of course, this was when Han Feng chose to quietly be a handsome man. If he were to speak sarcastically or in a sarcastic tone, that was a different story.

But in Han Feng's eyes now lay a barely perceptible hint of heaviness and ferocity.

The heaviness in his eyes was self-evident; Han Feng now knew more and had more to do than before, while that sinister look came from the far north and the volcanoes.

Even Han Feng himself didn't notice this subtle change!

"It's alright..." Han Feng thought for a moment and said casually. No matter how dangerous the far north was, he didn't need to tell Ning Rongrong and make her panic.

"By the way! I just saw you seemed to have something to do, right? Are you sure you're okay with abandoning them?" Han Feng blinked, recalling the missing ancient banyan tree, and asked hesitantly.

"Hey! It's okay! It's just a small matter. If they can't handle it themselves, they'll be letting down the sect's cultivation!" Ning Rongrong clung to Han Feng and didn't want to get off, greedily inhaling his scent, making Han Feng feel itchy both mentally and physically.

As if noticing Han Feng's unusual behavior, Ning Rongrong pressed herself even closer to him, whispering sweetly in his ear, "But you, why were you in such a hurry to come back? Did you miss me?"

Han Feng trembled instantly, and an unnatural flush appeared on his old face!

Han Feng's ears have always been a particularly sensitive spot, something Ning Rongrong had long since figured out!

Han Feng snorted irritably and patted Ning Rongrong's bottom to remind her to stop causing trouble.

"Actually, I came back this time because I need Senior Gu's help!" Han Feng rolled his eyes at Ning Rongrong and said slowly.

"You want my help?" Upon hearing his name, Gu Rong immediately jumped out of the alternate dimension, patted his chest, and said confidently, "That's easy! Whatever trouble you have, just say the word! Leave it all to me, we're family!"

The sudden appearance of Gu Rong startled both Han Feng and Ning Rongrong, and then their two strange gazes fell on Gu Rong.

Ning Rongrong smiled maliciously and said in a sweet, suggestive voice, "Grandpa Bone, were you eavesdropping the whole time?"

Ning Rongrong's coquettish voice sent a chill down Gu Rong's spine!

Gu Rong gave a dry laugh, wiped imaginary cold sweat from his forehead, and, with his neck stiff and grinning, said, "How could I! It's not like the sect leader ordered me to see Han Feng! How could I, your grandpa, do such a thing!?"

Gu Rong's words were half true and half false. The main reason was that Gu Rong was worried that if he didn't come out soon, he would never have the chance to show himself again!

"Dad wants to see Han Feng?" Upon hearing this, Ning Rongrong no longer cared whether Gu Rong had been eavesdropping. She opened her mouth slightly and exclaimed in surprise.

Han Feng wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but when Ning Rongrong heard that Ning Fengzhi wanted to see him, a hint of panic seemed to flash across her pretty face. However, Han Feng didn't think much of it, assuming that Ning Rongrong was just nervous because she was worried that Ning Fengzhi would make things difficult for her.

Han Feng, fearless in any case, nodded to Gu Rong and said, "Then please lead the way, Senior Gu!"

Gu Rong's eyes flickered imperceptibly, he chuckled, opened the black hole, and said, "Let's go!"

"I want to go too!" Ning Rongrong hugged Han Feng tightly and exclaimed earnestly.

Gu Rong was taken aback, then met Ning Rongrong's determined gaze, sighed helplessly, and had no choice but to agree, "Alright, alright! We'll do as Rongrong says!"

Han Feng felt a strange unease—it's just meeting his future father-in-law!

Why does it look like you're being led to the execution ground?

Han Feng was worried that Gu Rong would suddenly pull out a chicken leg rice and tell him that this was the last meal!

With these strange thoughts in mind, Han Feng followed Gu Rong into the black hole and soon arrived in front of Ning Fengzhi.

Ning Fengzhi still had that confident and composed demeanor. With Chen Xin protecting him, Ning Rongrong didn't dare to be too presumptuous in front of Ning Fengzhi. She jumped off Han Feng's back early and obediently stood behind Ning Fengzhi. Gu Rong also walked to the other side of Chen Xin, guarding Ning Fengzhi on both sides, making it an impregnable fortress.

"Greetings, Sect Leader Ning!" Han Feng bowed respectfully to Ning Fengzhi without hesitation.

Seeing Han Feng's expression, Ning Fengzhi gave a wry smile, feeling a bit of a headache, but helplessly reminded him, "Call him uncle!"

"Oh..." Han Feng blinked, nodded, and said again, "Greetings, Uncle Ning!"

"Hmm!" Ning Fengzhi responded, then smiled gently and asked, "Is the divine test complete?"

Han Feng's eyes widened immediately as he stared intently at the ancient banyan tree behind Ning Fengzhi, his eyes filled with questioning.

Didn't we agree not to tell anyone?!

Gu Rong felt a chill run down his spine under Han Feng's gaze. He coughed and said, clearly feeling guilty, "I had no choice! You thought about it yourself! You said you wanted to go to the far north, but so many things happened there—the Snow Emperor, Qian Daoliu, and even a new god's successor appeared. The sect leader was worried and kept asking, so I had no choice but to tell him the truth!"

Upon hearing this, Han Feng didn't say much, just clicked his tongue and said, "The fourth test is over. Thank you for your concern, Uncle Ning!"

Anyway, Han Feng was already prepared to be exposed when he said it last time, so it's fine if Ning Fengzhi finds out!

"Hehe! That's good!" Ning Fengzhi laughed sincerely, looking at Han Feng with admiration. But then, remembering the discordant voices within the sect, Ning Fengzhi's eyes dimmed again, and he had no choice but to ask, "Han Feng, I ask you, are you willing to join my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?"

As soon as he said that, Han Feng clearly felt the atmosphere become tense. All four pairs of eyes—Ning Fengzhi, Gu Rong, Chen Xin, and Ning Rongrong—fell on him.

Han Feng understood immediately, thinking to himself, "So this is what they were waiting for!"

No wonder the atmosphere between Gu Rong and Ning Rongrong was so strange when they heard that Ning Fengzhi wanted to see them. So that's why!

Han Feng chuckled softly and shook his head. Although he didn't speak, the meaning he conveyed was self-evident.

To Han Feng's surprise, when he shook his head, only Ning Rongrong's eyes relaxed, while Ning Fengzhi and the other two's expressions remained unchanged, as if they had already guessed his answer and looked as if it was expected. Chen Xin and Gu Rong even smiled sarcastically, revealing a hint of mockery, but it was unclear who they were mocking.

"I see!" Ning Fengzhi didn't press further, acting as if nothing had happened, and instead asked, "Didn't you say you wanted Uncle Gu's help with something? Is it convenient for you to say?"

Han Feng frowned. These words sounded like a favor being bestowed upon him so that he could be coerced into joining the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School in the future.

Ning Fengzhi realized the ambiguity in his words and said, "You don't need to worry. We only helped you because of Rongrong; it has nothing to do with the sect!"

"That's right!" Gu Rong was even more direct, stating bluntly, "Winning you over is the sect's decision, it has nothing to do with us. After all, even the sect leader of the vast Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School can't control everything within the sect; there are always some people who like to jump out and show their presence!"

"Han Feng..." Ning Rongrong called out to Han Feng in a soft, sweet voice.

Clearly, Ning Rongrong did not want Han Feng to misunderstand Ning Fengzhi.

Han Feng wasn't stupid; after a little thought, he guessed it. It was nothing more than conflicts of interest between sects and infighting among relatives. Even the two peerless Douluo, Chen Xin and Gu Rong, couldn't control these things!

This is also why Han Feng is unwilling to join any faction.

"Actually, the reason I came back this time is for the next stage of the Divine Trial. I need to borrow the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, but as you know, Uncle Ning, I don't get along well with that Poison Douluo. So I would like to ask Senior Gu to step in and let me cultivate in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well for a few days!" Since Gu Rong had already said so, Han Feng didn't stand on ceremony and directly stated his purpose.

Although Han Feng had the ice crystals given to him by Xue Di, good steel should be used where it's needed most, Dugu Bo...

To be honest, using Xue Di's Imperial Sword against Dugu Bo is really like using a cannon to kill a mosquito. Moreover, if he were to be accidentally killed, it would be difficult to explain to Tang San!
