"In your opinion, how long will he wait?"

Ling Feng thought for a moment and said, "It won't be long. At today's banquet, we offended those nobles to death."

“When they get back, they will surely embellish what happened today and spread the word.”

"At that time, the pressure on the two great empires will increase, and those smaller sects will also begin to observe."

"Ning Fengzhi must make a choice as soon as possible."

He looked at his father, “Either completely side with the two great empires, or… come with us.”

Dugu Bo smiled sinisterly: "So, according to you, he can only choose us?"

Ling Feng shook his head: "No, he has another option: to choose nothing and remain neutral."

"But this choice will become increasingly difficult."

“From today onward, both great empires will suspect that he is getting too close to us.”

“And we will continue to win him over; he is caught in the middle, pleasing neither side.”

Ling Feng picked up his teacup and gently swirled it.

"Neutrition requires strength. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has two Title Douluos above level 95, so they have that strength. But how long can that strength protect them?"

Qian Gu Xiaoye looked at his son, a hint of relief flashing in his eyes.

"So what do you think we should do next?"

Ling Feng put down his teacup and said seriously, "Wait."

"wait?"

“Yes, wait,” Ling Feng said.

"Ning Fengzhi didn't keep anyone else today, except for us."

"We've said what we needed to say, the seed has been planted, and now all that's left is to wait for it to sprout."

"The more eager we are to get an answer, the more Ning Fengzhi will hesitate. Give him time and let him think it through himself."

“Of course…” he smiled.

"We can't just wait around. Once we get back, we can spread the word that the Spirit Hall and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School had a very pleasant conversation and that both sides are interested in deepening their cooperation."

"There's no need to be too explicit; being vague is best. Let the two great empires guess and get anxious."

Dugu Bo's eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands and laughed, "Good lad, that was a pretty cunning move!"

"Let those nobles scare themselves; that's more effective than us taking action ourselves."

Jin Chen scratched his head, somewhat confused: "Boss, won't this push Ning Fengzhi to the opposite side?"

Ling Feng shook his head: "No, he's a smart man, he knows what we're doing."

"But he will also understand that this is an open strategy, not a conspiracy. We did not force him, we just made him see the situation clearly."

Qian Renxue said softly, "But what if he really sides with the two great empires?"

Ling Feng was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Then we can only blame him for not having a long-term vision."

He didn't say anything more, but everyone understood what he meant.

If the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School were to truly side with the two great empires, then what would become of it...?

Qian Gu Xiaoye looked at his son and suddenly smiled.

"Wind, you've grown up."

Ling Feng was slightly taken aback, then smiled and said, "Father, I am only eleven years old."

"At eleven years old, he has already seen further than many forty-year-olds."

Qian Gu Xiaoye looked out the window and said softly, "Your grandfather would be very happy to see you."

Ling Feng fell silent.

He knew who his father was talking about.

That grandfather I never met, that grandfather who died in battle to protect his people and his father.

"Father."

He said softly, "The day we crush the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus and the Clear Sky Sect, I will take their soul bones to my grandfather's grave to pay my respects."

Qian Gu Xiaoye turned his head and looked at his son.

Moonlight streamed through the car window, illuminating Ling Feng's face.

That young face possessed a composure and determination beyond its years.

"it is good."

Qian Gu Xiao Ye only uttered this one word.

The carriage continued on its way.

As night fell, the outline of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School grew farther and farther away, eventually disappearing among the mountains.

Jin Chen couldn't help but ask again, "Boss, will that little girl Ning Rongrong really become the Nine-Treasured Glazed Pagoda in the future?"

Ling Feng glanced at him, a half-smile on his face.

"What, you want to arrange a marriage between our children in advance?"

Jin Chen's face flushed red, and he waved his hands repeatedly, "I...I...I didn't! I was just asking casually!"

Qian Renxue covered her mouth and chuckled softly.

Dugu Bo rarely smiled, stroking his beard as he watched the spectacle.

Jin Chen panicked and glared at Ling Feng: "Boss, don't talk nonsense! I'm only eleven years old!"

"I...I'm not interested in that little girl!"

Ling Feng nodded seriously: "Yes, I believe you."

Jin Chen became even more anxious when she saw his serious expression.

"Boss! What's with that expression?! I really didn't!"

Qian Renxue laughed so hard she almost fell over, and even Qian Gu Xiaoye's lips curled up slightly.

Laughter filled the carriage.

The moonlight was still cold, but the atmosphere inside the car was as warm as the spring sun in March.

"We're not far from Tiandou City, so let's just go there and rest for the night."

Ning Fengzhi dared not allow the Spirit Hall members to stay overnight at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, as the signal they released was too dangerous.

It was night when the carriage entered Tiandou City.

The guards at the city gate saw the small Spirit Hall emblem on the carriage and, without daring to ask any further questions, respectfully let it pass.

Ling Feng lifted a corner of the carriage curtain, looked at the bowing guards, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.

This is the current power and prestige of the Spirit Hall.

Even in the capital of the Heaven Dou Empire, no one dared to stop the carriages of the two Title Douluos.

"Find an inn to rest for the night," Qian Gu Xiaoye instructed. "We'll continue our journey early tomorrow morning."

The carriage slowly moved along the main street and eventually stopped in front of an inn called "Yuelai".

This inn has three floors and is considered a pretty good place in the area.

As soon as the group got off the car, the innkeeper jogged out to greet them.

Although he was an ordinary person, he had a keen eye and could tell from the commotion that the visitors were extraordinary.

"Distinguished guests, please come in! Our inn has top-class rooms that we guarantee will satisfy you!"

Ling Feng nodded casually and asked the innkeeper to arrange a few superior rooms.

After everyone was settled, they gathered in a private room on the second floor for a meal.

Outside the window is the main street of Tiandou City, bustling with people.

Chapter 64 Old Man Ye, I've come to see you.

Jin Chen peered out the window, marveling, "This Tiandou City is quite prosperous, not much worse than our Wuhun City."

Qian Renxue said softly, "After all, it is the capital of the empire, and its development over hundreds of years is naturally different."

Ling Feng picked up his teacup, about to say something, when he suddenly heard a commotion downstairs.

"Get out of the way! Get out of my way!"

"Hey, who are you people? What gives you the right to kick us out?"

"On what grounds? Because we are from the Heavenly Dou Royal Family's Hall of Worship! This area has been requisitioned, and all unauthorized personnel must stay away!"

Ling Feng frowned slightly and walked to the window to look down.

On the street, a group of Soul Masters dressed in uniform were seen driving away passersby.

They were arrogant and rude, often shoving and pushing. Several civilians who couldn't dodge in time were pushed to the ground, eliciting gasps of surprise.

"This Heavenly Battle against the royal family, what a show of power!" Jin Chen sneered.

Qian Gu Xiao Ye glanced at it, then looked away and said indifferently, "Don't bother with it, it's none of our business."

The group continued eating.

However, the whispers of several diners at the next table made Dugu Bo pause slightly with his chopsticks.

"Have you heard? That old doctor from the Ye family is probably going to be in trouble this time."

Which Ye family?

"Who else could it be? It's the Ye family in the east of the city, the one that has passed down the Nine Heart Begonia for generations."

"That old doctor Ye Renxin has saved many lives."

"What's up with him?"
