Chapter 56: He's Already Calling Me Uncle?
Bai Yu looked at Ning Fengzhi’s calm expression and cursed him inwardly as an old fox, but this was within his expectations. He then continued, “Of course, there’s a third condition. As long as the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School joins Spirit Hall, I will help the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School change its name to the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School!”
“How about this condition? If it still can’t move School Master Ning, then I have no choice. From now on, we can only use our own methods and see who is more skilled.”
Before Bai Yu could finish speaking, Ning Fengzhi’s pupils constricted, and the jade thumb ring in his hand was directly crushed.
“What do you mean, Young Master Bai? You should know that the reason our Sect is called the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is because the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Spirit is restricted from breaking through beyond Spirit Saint.”
“Could it be that you have a way to free the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda from its restrictions and break through to a higher level?”
Hearing Ning Fengzhi’s question, Ning Rongrong’s confused eyes lit up, and she excitedly said, “I know, I know this! It’s an Immortal Herb! Bai Ge, it’s an Immortal Herb, isn’t it?”
Bai Yu smiled and nodded.
“That’s right, it’s an Immortal Herb.”
Ning Fengzhi was a bit stunned, because when Bai Yu and the others talked about the Immortal Herb, the people protecting Ning Rongrong were a bit far away and didn't know about it.
Seeing that her father understood nothing, Ning Rongrong explained to Ning Fengzhi and the two Douluo with a hint of disdain.
As time slowly passed, Ning Fengzhi’s eyes grew brighter and brighter. Finally, he directly stood up, staring intently at Bai Yu.
“Young Master Bai, do you mean that you have an Immortal Herb that can evolve the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda?”
Bai Yu understood Ning Fengzhi’s excitement and didn’t drag it out, directly nodding in admission.
“School Master Ning is right, I do have an Immortal Herb that can evolve the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, so I ask School Master Ning to seriously consider my proposal.”
Ning Fengzhi took a deep breath, slowly sat down, and continuously clenched and unclenched his hands, indicating his complex feelings.
“Haha, if Young Master Bai wasn’t strong enough, and the power behind him even stronger, I, Ning, would really be unable to resist making a move right now.”
“Uncle Sword, Uncle Bone, what do you two think?”
Ning Fengzhi couldn’t make up his mind, so he turned to Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo, wanting them to offer some advice.
Bone Douluo glanced at Sword Douluo, reached out and tugged at his sparse hair, and said helplessly, “I don’t know either, Fengzhi, why don’t you ask that swordsman? See what he says.”
Sword Douluo was somewhat silent. He had a grudge with Spirit Hall, but it wasn't really a grudge. After all, his father voluntarily challenged Qian Daoliu and was killed. According to the rules, he didn't even have a reason for revenge.
He knew that if he disagreed, Ning Fengzhi would definitely refuse Bai Yu without a second thought.
But to directly cut off the path of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School because of this not-so-serious grudge, he found it difficult to accept. After all, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was his home, and he was an elder in the family.
“Fengzhi, I agree. Let’s join Spirit Hall. Although there will be someone above us after joining, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will have greater development!”
Ning Fengzhi looked at Sword Douluo, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes. He also didn’t want Sword Douluo to make this decision, but on one hand was the Sect's generational pursuit, and on the other was the Sect's stabilizing force.
He really couldn't make a choice. This was also the first time in his life he was indecisive. He then suppressed the thoughts in his heart and looked at Bai Yu.
“Good, His Highness the Saint Child is indeed a capable person; you’ve truly convinced me. However, if you want my Sect to join, there’s one more condition: you must marry Rongrong!”
“Dad! What nonsense are you talking about again!”
Ning Rongrong truly blushed this time. Her fair skin turned completely pink, and her feet tapped continuously, wanting to run away, but she also wanted to hear what Bai Yu would say.
Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo also looked at Ning Fengzhi in shock. They had already received news that Ning Rongrong’s little sister, Zhu Zhuqing, was already Bai Yu’s girlfriend, and who knew if there were others outside.
How could they marry Rongrong to such a philandering fellow? Just as they were about to speak up to stop it, they saw Ning Rongrong’s appearance and immediately gave a wry smile.
Bai Yu looked somewhat surprised, then smiled and said, “Alright, I agree. Since Uncle Ning is willing to marry Rongrong to me, then I certainly won’t refuse. After all, I quite like Rongrong too.”
“Oh no! You’re all so annoying!”
Ning Rongrong directly threw herself onto Sword Douluo, hiding her face. She was a bit shy and wanted to pretend to be an ostrich.
And Ning Fengzhi and the two Douluo looked at Bai Yu somewhat dumbfounded, thinking to themselves, this kid really knows how to climb the ladder. He went from School Master Ning to Uncle Ning just like that?
Bai Yu didn’t know he had already been labeled as shameless and continued to speak.
“Since we’re all family now, I won’t hide anything. This item is called the Star Luo Spirit Pearl. It draws upon the essence of the moonlight and connects to the rhythm of the earth’s veins. It is a treasure of nature, a divine creation, enough to evolve Uncle Ning’s Spirit and break through its limitations.”
As he spoke, Bai Yu took out a crystal box, opened it, and a plant with dark branches and leaves, but with a golden fruit at its tip, appeared.
He reached out and took it out. As the golden fruit swayed, starlight seemed to flow, making it exceptionally mystical.
Sword Douluo and the others, including Ning Rongrong, all looked over. This wondrous sight made all four of them exclaim, “As expected of an Immortal Herb, it truly lives up to its name!”
Ning Fengzhi looked at the Star Luo Spirit Pearl with reluctance and said to Ning Rongrong, “Rongrong, you should use this Immortal Herb. Your father is old, and the Immortal Herb’s effect might be discounted. And Immortal Herbs are hard to come by, so it’s safer for you to use it.”
Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo’s expressions changed, and they hesitated to speak. If Rongrong used this, she would later have to marry that shameless brat. Wasn’t this just giving it away for free?
If it were anyone else, they would definitely object on the spot, but this person was Ning Rongrong, whom they doted on, which made it very difficult.
Looking at the expressions of the two stabilizing forces, Ning Fengzhi naturally knew what they were thinking, but he also had his own ideas. As half a businessman, once he decided to bet, he would increase the stakes!
Bai Yu was going to take charge of Spirit Hall in the future, and Rongrong would take charge of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. Bai Yu, for Rongrong’s sake, would definitely not let the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School decline.
At worst, their children could take their mother’s surname, Ning, and inherit the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. Then, as the Sect of his own son, Bai Yu would have to help even more!
Before Ning Rongrong, this little cotton-padded jacket that leaked secrets, could jump up and thank her father for the gift, Bai Yu smiled faintly and said, “That’s not necessary. Since Rongrong is already considered mine, I naturally have a welcome gift for her that won’t be inferior to this Star Luo Spirit Pearl.”
“So Uncle Ning, rest assured, I won’t let my own family suffer losses.”
Ning Fengzhi smacked his lips, shook his head, and said with a smile, “Haha, you really are amazing, young man. You’re powerful, and your mind is also top-notch. I truly envy Spirit Hall; to think they could pick you up!”
“But you’re right, since we’re family, I won’t be polite. Uncle will gladly accept this Star Luo Spirit Pearl!”
