Lu Mingfei starts from Douluo.

Shocked, Ning Fengzhi and the other two immediately returned to reality. If Tang San really became a god, then what did the Spirit Hall want from them now?

Are you coercing them to become enemies with Tang San?

Thinking of this, the three of them suddenly felt depressed again. Tang San becoming a god did not prevent the Spirit Hall from easily destroying them.

"Sect Leader Ning is thinking, now that Tang San has become a god, our Spirit Hall will be nothing but grasshoppers in autumn sooner or later. How are we going to deal with us tonight?" Qian Renxue smiled calmly.

Ning Fengzhi frowned slightly but did not refute. This Holy Maiden was very smart and had no need to tell such lies.

"Since the Holy Maiden understands, what can you instruct me on?" Ning Fengzhi instantly understood something. Now that Tang San had become a god, what exactly did the Spirit Hall rely on to continue the fight? Just like why Tang Chen bowed his head before.

Does the Spirit Hall also have god-level beings?

Why not go back to guard Wuhun City? Do they really have to drag the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School down to hell with them?

"I wouldn't presume to offer guidance. Sect Master Ning is one of the very few intelligent people on the continent. How could I, a junior, dare to presume to teach you?" Qian Renxue shook her head.

These words sounded somewhat like a compliment, but to anyone listening, something felt off.

He used to be known as the most knowledgeable person on the mainland, but in the current situation, it is often the smartest people who are most likely to die.

"Your Highness is too kind. I am of dull mind and would be grateful for Your Highness's guidance." Ning Fengzhi shook his head, denying the title of a clever person.

Being smart means having opinions and ideas; in any case, at least for now, he has to be the one who isn't smart.

Qian Renxue nodded in satisfaction. Only someone like Ning Fengzhi could understand so easily; if it were anyone else, she wouldn't be able to implement any of her plans.

"Sect Master Ning, if you become a god, what would be the first thing you would do?"

Ning Fengzhi paused, his eyes suddenly turning to Lu Mingfei, who remained silent to the side.

Lu Mingfei shrugged. To be honest, he felt quite helpless about this sudden understanding. He himself couldn't understand how he had suddenly come to this point.

Could it be because I refused that sea god last time and got a bad reputation? Or did I specifically find an enemy to inherit the godhood and set him up?

That's incredibly petty.

"That's right. As the only god-level being on the continent, the entire continent should theoretically be his.

“But nearly six hours have passed since he became a god, which is enough time for a god to accomplish a great deal.”

"Whether it's destroying Spirit City or returning to the Clear Sky Sect to bring glory to our ancestors, it's more than enough for us. But why is there no movement at all? Don't you find that strange?"

"I can bet you that even now, Tang San probably wouldn't dare to take a single step out of Seagod Island."

Qian Renxue spoke slowly in a confident tone.

"Are you suggesting that a god-level being should be afraid of your Spirit Hall?" Bone Douluo finally couldn't help but speak up, as Qian Renxue's words were becoming increasingly outrageous.

But these words did remind Ning Fengzhi that Poseidon Island and Hanhai City were too close.

"Does Your Highness mean that although Tang San has become the Sea God, he is still very wary of Your Highness and Lu Mingfei?" Ning Fengzhi asked.

"To be precise, it's just Mingfei. He's also a divine examiner, but even though Tang San has become a god, he's not entirely confident that he's Mingfei's match." Qian Renxue glanced at Lu Mingfei, who understood immediately.

His golden eyes ignited instantly, black membrane wings slowly unfolded from his back, and nine soul rings quietly rose around him.

Although he had suppressed all his pressure, the difference in their life levels still made Ning Fengzhi and the other two tremble with fear.

What the hell is this True Dragon Martial Soul, the 100,000-year seventh spirit ring, the crimson-gold eighth spirit ring, and that seven-colored ninth spirit ring?

Ning Fengzhi felt that all his knowledge and skills had been completely undermined.

At this opportune moment, Qian Renxue chimed in, "As you all know, Mingfei likes to keep a low profile. I won't go into the fact that he killed Tang Hao when he was a Soul King, or fought against Tang Chen when he was a Soul Saint. As for the eighth ring, it came from a million-year-old soul beast that was only one step away from becoming a god. The ninth ring is a true divine ring."

"He is only level 97 now. Apart from not having a specific divine position, he can be said to be a god among men."

Lu Mingfei remained expressionless, but inwardly he was banging his head against the wall in frustration. The awkwardness was akin to having his browser history exposed.

He had clearly thought about those things, but when Qian Renxue said them, it felt like his whole body was being exposed to the scorching heat of her words, and he just wanted to wriggle away like a caterpillar.

Both Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo sensed an absolutely irresistible sense of danger emanating from Lu Mingfei.

This power doesn't lie, and neither do these nine spirit rings. Ning Fengzhi already believed half of it, but the other half is the key.

"Since the Spirit Hall has already secured victory, why bother coming to my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School? With your level, what value does my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School have?" Ning Fengzhi said with a wry smile. Even if Lu Mingfei didn't have the God-level, destroying their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School would probably only take a snap of his fingers. He really couldn't think of any use their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School could have against the Spirit Hall.

“That’s right. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is not of much value to us, but it is completely different to the Heaven Dou Empire or the continental landscape.”

As Qian Renxue said this, she glanced at the doorway and said, "Soon Mingfei will be crowned Emperor of the Martial Soul Empire. Since he has always been thinking about Ning Rongrong from your sect, our purpose in coming here is actually to propose marriage."

“Ning Rongrong can be taken into the harem as a concubine, just like Zhu Qing. As for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, we don’t need you to do anything. Just be the last straw that breaks the camel’s back when the Heaven Dou Empire collapses.”

Do you speak like this?

Lu Mingfei was completely stunned. What kind of human language was this?

Good heavens, no wonder they were praising him to the skies earlier. It turns out they were just like Wang Po selling melons, praising their own wares and treating him like Ximen Qing.

Chapter 313 Zhuqing, go and handle Rongrong.

Although Lu Mingfei said he would leave everything to him, and Qian Renxue also had the same confidence in Lu Mingfei, they were ultimately facing a true god.

This has nothing to do with level or realm. Without truly stepping into the god-level, one cannot imagine the terrifying extent of possessing true god-level power.

No matter how strong Lu Mingfei is, a real battle can change in an instant, especially now, as Lu Mingfei has too many weaknesses.

Therefore, the only thing he could do was to let the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School act as their eyes and ears.

When Tang San returns, he will inevitably need to use the power of the three upper sects and the two great empires to have any chance of fighting against Lu Mingfei.

If the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School can send out any useful information or provide any useful assistance, then their efforts will not have been in vain.

As for Ning Rongrong, like Zhu Zhuqing, she accepted the gift simply to avoid putting Lu Mingfei under any psychological burden.

Lu Mingfei and Qian Renxue stared at each other, feeling utterly bewildered. As exemplary young men who had undergone nine years of compulsory education under the Red Banner system, they had always kept their distance from the dregs of the feudal landlord class.

Why did it suddenly fast forward to the point where he's about to ascend the throne and become emperor?

Stop messing with me, okay? Believe me or not, I'll cosplay a teru teru bozu (Japanese teru bozu doll) and show you guys someday.

More importantly, what's with this "taking a concubine" thing? Don't you, Qian Renxue, know that Zhu Zhuqing and I are completely innocent?

Furthermore, Lu Mingfei didn't turn around, but he still glanced at the direction of the door with his senses, and then he was even more speechless.

No wonder he felt Qian Renxue release a bit of mental pressure earlier. Doesn't she have any sense of public decency, waking someone up in the middle of the night?

Especially now, to let people watch this kind of thing, how perverse is your sense of humor? Is Zhu Zhuqing not enough for you?

Lu Mingfei felt that his complaints were about to overflow.

Ning Fengzhi and Sword Bone Douluo exchanged bewildered glances.

Qian Renxue's suggestion showed the utmost sincerity and was indeed a good choice for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School at present.

If everything Qian Renxue said is true, and Lu Mingfei truly possesses god-level strength, he could defeat Tang San, who has already become a god, in the future.

Then the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School can make a smooth transition.

If Tang San returns and the Spirit Hall is easily defeated, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will not suffer any losses.

It's fair to say they had absolutely no reason to refuse.

But how could their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School be so arrogant? How could such a good thing possibly fall into their laps?

As a shrewd businessman, he never expected to make a fortune; everything was based on equal exchange.

If they really side with the Spirit Hall, they will definitely have to do something befitting their status at that time.

This saintess is using a strategy of retreat as a means of advance, employing diplomacy before resorting to force!

With such a powerful, high-ranking, young, beautiful, and intelligent wife, it's no wonder she didn't take their little princess seriously.

There's no way I could beat him in this lifetime.

But they had no choice today and could only follow the script set by Qian Renxue. It might be unfair to Rongrong, but as the young sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, she should be able to understand. Besides, how could he not know his own daughter's thoughts?

“Your Highness, now that things have come to this point, I think it would be disrespectful of us to disagree.” Ning Fengzhi cupped his hands and nodded slightly.

"I do not want!"

Just then, the door to the room was suddenly opened, and a figure rushed in.

Everyone in the room knew that Ning Rongrong had been eavesdropping outside the door, but no one said anything. No one expected that Ning Rongrong would actually barge in on her own.

Three years have passed, and Ning Rongrong has grown into a beautiful young woman.

A light green, loose-fitting, breathable top with a large bow collar, paired with a low-saturation, bright white floral print skirt, exudes both elegant and intellectual charm, as well as a vibrant and sunny feel.

"Why should I agree just because you think of me now?" Ning Rongrong glared coldly at Lu Mingfei, who was as stiff as a tree, and then looked at Zhu Zhuqing, who was standing next to her with her head down in embarrassment.

Previously, when she received the news that Zhu Zhuqing had also moved into Lu Mingfei's courtyard, she felt as if she had been struck by lightning.

Zhu Zhuqing used to be the one who envied Lu Mingfei, as her background was a better match for his. But later, it was precisely because of her identity that there was no possibility between them.

But now all of these things have been easily overturned by this woman with just one sentence.

But on what grounds?

How could she not realize that this was just a deal Qian Renxue made to exploit the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?

She felt wronged, heartbroken, and a little resentful and jealous. So she rushed out.

But when she looked at the people in the room, she seemed unable to say anything.

He could only snort coldly, glare fiercely at Lu Mingfei, and turn away angrily.

Before Lu Mingfei could figure out what was going on, Ning Fengzhi and Sword Bone Douluo immediately turned their gazes to him, as if they were looking at some kind of scumbag.

That's right. To be honest, it's all Lu Mingfei's fault. If he hadn't been so secretive, their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School would have gone all in long ago, and things wouldn't be like this now.

Lu Mingfei felt that artificial snow should be brought here right now; he was more wronged than Dou E.

Why would a model young man like him, who is upright and honest, end up being treated the same way as Brother Cheng?

However, as soon as he cast a pitiful look at Qian Renxue, she only rolled her eyes at him in response.

I don't know if he's genuinely honest or just pretending. What kind of time is this? Can't he even climb down the stairs properly?

Fortunately, Qian Renxue was prepared. She glanced in Zhu Zhuqing's direction, and Zhu Zhuqing immediately remembered what Qian Renxue had told her a few days ago. Her face flushed, and she nodded and chased after her.

Ning Rongrong was only a Soul Master, while Zhu Zhuqing was an Agility-type Soul King. In just a few steps, she caught up with her, and the two collided head-on in a passionate embrace.

Upon seeing that it was Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong cried even harder.

Lu Mingfei wasn't even willing to comfort her personally; he clearly didn't take her seriously at all.

"Zhu Qing!" Ning Rongrong hugged Zhu Zhu Qing's plump waist and burst into tears.

In the end, she's still that spoiled little girl. She doesn't harbor much hatred; she just wants more love.

"Rongrong, don't cry. It's not that Mingfei didn't want to come out, but if he had chased after her just now, how would Her Highness the Holy Maiden be able to face him? How would your father view him?" Zhu Zhuqing gently patted Ning Rongrong's back to comfort her.

"And as you just heard, this is a major event concerning the entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and even the entire world."

"I believe Mingfei definitely has feelings for you."

"His eyes were glued to Rongrong just now. How could a lecher like Mingfei not be tempted?"

Chapter 314 Each Person's Preparations

"I, I..." Ning Rongrong's big, watery eyes immediately stopped crying.

When it comes to feelings, Zhu Zhuqing is arguably the person who understands Ning Rongrong's thoughts the most, and she hits Ning Rongrong's weak spot with just a few words.

In fact, everyone in the room could tell that Ning Rongrong was just throwing a little tantrum and wasn't really angry.

Therefore, Zhu Zhuqing first explained the greater good to Ning Rongrong, and then appealed to her emotions, thus directly winning Ning Rongrong over.

She was sensible to begin with, and after Zhu Zhuqing said that, she immediately understood that now was not the time to throw a tantrum.

Tang San has become a god; if he's not careful, the entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School could be destroyed. Lu Mingfei certainly has important matters to attend to first.

But she couldn't help being a little emotional. She pouted, wiped away her tears, and hugged Zhu Zhuqing.

"Mingfei, you big idiot! With such a great figure, you just let him have it so easily. It's so annoying! And that saintess, how can she be in charge of Mingfei?" Ning Rongrong was sharp-tongued, but she had actually softened. She and Zhu Zhuqing had made an agreement long ago, and now it was pretty much finalized.

There was just one more saintess.

Zhu Zhuqing blushed with embarrassment upon hearing this, but she had just stated that she was not lustful. If she denied it now, wouldn't she be admitting her guilt?

"Actually, Her Highness the Holy Maiden has had a tough time." Zhu Zhuqing followed Ning Rongrong's words, using Lu Mingfei as a target, and whispered in Ning Rongrong's ear, "You know Mingfei's cultivation is so high..."
