Chapter 218 The Master's Misfortune Leads to Seven Treasures, Tang Hao Angrily Appeals to the Glazed Tile

"Your Majesty, it's like this..."

Yu Xiaogang immediately adopted a dutiful demeanor and recounted the events, though of course, his emotions and personal agenda were mixed in.

During the recounting of the incident, he also realized that this person truly did not know the whole story and had nothing to do with Zhu Zhuqing's disappearance; his previous judgment was wrong.

However, how could this stump Master Yu, who was known as the "corner of wisdom"? His mind raced, and then a bold idea came to him.

"Your Majesty, I have a guess, but I'm not sure if I should say it."

Yu Xiaogang glanced at Tang Hao, whose face was terribly gloomy, and said cautiously.

"explain."

Upon hearing that his son was injured, Tang Hao could no longer contain his anger. This was his son, Tang Hao's son, who dared to hurt him while he was away. He deserved to die.

"Your Majesty, I didn't know you had been away for some time. I thought you were secretly protecting your mistress, so I made the wrong judgment and thought that Zhu Zhuqing had been taken away by you."

"But since you don't know about this, there must be something fishy about Zhu Zhuqing's disappearance."

While speaking, Yu Xiaogang secretly observed Tang Hao's changing expressions.

"continue."

Upon hearing Yu Xiaogang's words, Tang Hao was slightly taken aback, as if he had thought of something, and then gestured for him to continue.

"As you know, Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong have always had a very good relationship. So, do you think it's possible that Zhu Zhuqing was secretly taken away by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?"

"The Heaven Dou royal family is also a suspect, but I've considered it before. They don't have the guts or the strength to hide him from Ning Fengzhi. Besides, it wouldn't do them any good."

"If it were the Heaven Dou Royal Family, they would probably prefer to see a Star Luo Empire Martial Soul Fusion Skill appear in their second team. As long as it appears, regardless of their subsequent strength, it can deal a heavy blow to the Star Luo Empire. If they could also defeat Davis, that would be even better."

"Therefore, I have preliminarily ruled out the Heavenly Dou Royal Family as a suspect."

Yu Xiaogang's analysis was quite logical and reasonable, and even Tang Hao nodded in agreement.

That's right. From the perspective of the Heavenly Dou royal family, that's indeed the case. Taking Zhu Zhuqing away would not benefit them at all.

Seeing that Tang Hao had confirmed his statement, Yu Xiaogang became even more enthusiastic: "Therefore, the possibility of it being the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is even greater."

"First of all, Ning Rongrong returned to the sect immediately after the incident, and it was a long time before she returned to the academy."

"Secondly, after this incident, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School did not react in any other way, but only cooperated with the academy to carry out some search activities."

"But to allow their heirs to return to the academy without even a verbal reprimand is suspicious."

"Leaving aside Sect Master Ning, those two titles show Ning Rongrong extreme favor. Before, Mu Bai was severely injured by Sword Douluo for merely saying some inappropriate things. This time, neither of them showed up. Doesn't this prove that they really know something, or that they were the ones who did it?"

Yu Xiaogang poured out his thoughts in one breath, and immediately felt relaxed and at ease. Even the slight internal injuries he had suffered from Tang Hao's pressure earlier didn't hurt as much anymore.

"Then tell me, why did the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School do this? Is it because of that little girl, Ning Rongrong?"

Tang Hao felt that something was off, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it, so he simply threw the question back at Yu Xiaogang.

Yu Xiaogang was slightly taken aback. "That's right, why would the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School do this?"

He frowned as well. Neither of them noticed that their train of thought had gone astray, shifting from who was behind it all to why the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was doing this.

"Ning Rongrong's request is one aspect, but perhaps Zhu Zhuqing's identity is another. In the current Heaven Dou Empire, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School can be said to have reached its limit of advancement. Perhaps they want to use this opportunity to establish a connection with the Zhu family?"

While deep in thought, Yu Xiaogang suddenly had a flash of inspiration and thought of a possibility.

"After the Haotian Sect withdrew, the situation on the Tiandou Empire's side became clear, so they also wanted to extend their reach to the Xingluo Empire."

"Zhu Zhuqing might be the best stepping stone. Mu Bai is a prince, so they can't interfere, but what if he's an insignificant pawn?"

"Could it be that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School also wants to become the second Spirit Hall? Hiss."

As Yu Xiaogang pondered and spoke, a certain possibility occurred to him, and his voice gradually became barely audible.

He became increasingly convinced that his guess was correct.

Tang Hao's face had turned completely black. The retreat of the Haotian Sect was inextricably linked to him. It was because of him that the once number one sect in the world chose to close its mountains and retreat.

Thinking of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, which had become increasingly powerful in recent years, Tang Hao vaguely felt that Yu Xiaogang's guess might be true.

Ning Fengzhi of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, what grand ambitions he has!

If this good-for-nothing hadn't accidentally guessed it, perhaps even he would have been kept in the dark.

Hmph, wanting to replace the Haotian Sect's position is simply wishful thinking.

The number one sect in the world can only be the Haotian Sect; that is Tang Hao's idea.

How should I put it? Once a person discovers what they believe to be the truth, they become convinced of it. Tang Hao was caught in this vicious cycle.

If that's really the case, then the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's subsequent reaction is understandable.

Sending Ning Rongrong back to the academy and continuing to pretend that she knew nothing, that nothing had happened, and not even holding her accountable, was clearly a way to lull him into a false sense of security, even though the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School knew of his existence.

As his thinking became clearer, Tang Hao felt that everything made perfect sense, and even his gaze towards Yu Xiaogang softened considerably.

This useless guy is still somewhat useful, so let's let him off the hook for now.

"Go tell Flander to wait for me in his office tonight. I'm going out for a bit."

Having made up his mind, Tang Hao looked at Yu Xiaogang and gave him the instructions directly.

His son was injured, and as his father, he had to find someone to demand an explanation.

As for whether it was done by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Tang Hao would naturally be able to tell. Moreover, he was already convinced that it must have been them, as no one else had the capability to do it.

Moreover, even if they didn't do it, he was prepared to investigate and, ideally, give them a warning, to prove that the number one sect in the world could only be their Haotian Sect.

Most importantly, he questioned why his daughter, a support-level Soul Master, was unharmed while his son was injured, completely ignoring the fact that Tang San was the one who started the trouble.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will certainly convey your orders."

Yu Xiaogang felt no pain from his injuries anymore and answered with great energy.

"snort"

Tang Hao snorted coldly and then disappeared from the office, while Yu Xiaogang clenched his fist and became excited.

More than an hour later, at the foot of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

A figure dressed in black robes looked at the guards at the mountain gate ahead, snorted coldly, and threw a token at them.

"Go and inform your clan leader that an old friend has come to visit."

The token struck the guard disciple in the abdomen, knocking him to the ground. Another disciple was about to intervene when the fallen disciple stopped him, recognizing the token.

Despite the excruciating pain, the guard disciple quickly stood up: "Please wait a moment, I will go and report to the sect leader immediately."

He shook his head at another disciple who was still somewhat angry, and quickly rushed towards the mountain gate.

Inside the main hall, the guarding disciple handed over the token in his arms with both hands and quickly reported the situation.

"Tang Hao? What does he want to do?"

Upon seeing the token, Ning Fengzhi guessed who the visitor was. After observing the guards, his expression turned somewhat unpleasant.

What does this mean? Is it a visit or revenge? Do they really think their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is made of clay, daring to beat up the sect's guards at will?

The martial spirit instantly appeared in his hand, and a white light enveloped the guarding disciple. Ning Fengzhi only put away the martial spirit after the disciple stood up straight again.

Ning Fengzhi said with a hint of apology, "You did very well. However, no matter who it is, I will definitely help you get justice."

"Here's what we'll do: you go back and rest, then go to the logistics department and collect an extra six months' worth of money and resources. Take a good month off, does that sound alright?"

Upon hearing this, the guard disciple's face showed an expression of flattery, and he quickly bowed: "Sect Master, this is all I should do, as for..."

"Alright, that's my order, and you deserve it. Go and get some rest."

Ning Fengzhi interrupted him, his expression turning serious.

The guarding disciple, however, was deeply moved. After bowing again, he obeyed Ning Fengzhi's order and left the main hall.

"Uncle Jian, could you please make a trip and see what Tang Hao means? He's gone too far by coming to my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. What does he think this place is? Even his father wouldn't have dared to do this when he was alive."

Once the guards disappeared, Ning Fengzhi's expression turned cold, his tone carrying a hint of murderous intent, as he turned to look at the Sword Douluo beside him.

"it is good."

Chen Xin nodded decisively, and his figure disappeared into the main hall.

He may look refined, but he's not exactly good-tempered. His title is inscribed with "sword," and they've already stepped on their face. If they don't retaliate, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will be a disgrace.

At the entrance of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, another guard disciple was still watching Tang Hao warily, but Tang Hao didn't seem to care at all. He was still shrouded in a black robe, not revealing any of his aura.

Just then, he seemed to sense something, looked up, and saw a streak of white light flash across the sky.

Then a fierce sword aura slashed directly at his location.

"boom"

As Tang Hao moved swiftly, his Haotian Hammer vanished in a flash, deflecting the sword energy aside and causing a violent explosion.

At this moment, Chen Xin had already landed in front of him, the Seven Kill Sword flashing in his hand, seemingly preparing to continue his attack.

"Are you crazy?"

Tang Hao looked at Chen Xin and called out in a deep voice.

"You're the one who's crazy! Who gave you the guts to injure a disciple of my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School right off the bat?"

Chen Xin coldly looked at this once arrogant but now cowardly prodigy of the Haotian Sect, his eyes filled with icy intent.

We can't be soft on this kind of person. Perhaps the gentleness Fengzhi showed last time gave this rat the wrong impression. Now that he dares to come knocking on our door, if we give in a little more, he'll just keep taking advantage of us.

The guard disciple was stunned. Since Elder Jian had personally taken action, should he also show off his skills?

At the mountain gate, a tense situation was brewing.
