Dugu Bo's defection to Spirit Hall was, for Ning Fengzhi and the other two, nothing short of a thunderbolt from a clear sky.
They simply could not accept it.
They couldn't understand how someone like Dugu Bo—who had always sneered at Spirit Hall—could suddenly be standing on their side.
Dugu Bo had once been hunted by Spirit Hall, injured by Chrysanthemum Douluo. Had he really forgotten that grudge so easily?
"Grandpa Bone, why are you holding me?" Ning Rongrong struggled a little and asked in confusion.
Ning Fengzhi scolded sharply,"Behaving so casually in front of guests—what kind of decorum is that?"
"But they're my friends. They won't hurt me," Ning Rongrong said.
How could Ning Fengzhi and the others dare let her approach the carriage?
If Dugu Bo suddenly turned hostile, Ning Rongrong would be dead in an instant.
"Rongrong, this has nothing to do with you. Go back first," Ning Fengzhi said.
"Why? Ao Tian is the one I invited," Ning Rongrong pouted.
Ning Fengzhi shot Gu Rong a look.
Gu Rong reached out and pressed lightly against the back of Ning Rongrong's neck.
Her body instantly went limp, collapsing into his arms.
Gu Rong nodded to Ning Fengzhi, then swiftly carried Ning Rongrong toward the residential area, planning to hand her over to other disciples for safekeeping.
This time, Ao Tian had come with Dugu Bo.
They had no idea what his true intentions were. If fighting truly broke out, Ning Rongrong would not only be a burden—she would be in mortal danger.
So this was the only choice.
Ning Fengzhi turned back with a smile."My daughter is rather mischievous. I hope you'll forgive the disturbance."
Dugu Bo ignored him.
Ao Tian inside the carriage also said nothing.
After a short while, they arrived before a grand hall and stopped. Gu Rong had returned as well.
Dugu Bo stepped down from the carriage and stood respectfully at its side.
The door opened.
Under the gaze of Ning Fengzhi and the others, Ao Tian stepped out.
He was a handsome young man, around 185 centimeters tall, with flawless features and an extraordinary bearing.
Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, and Gu Rong all felt their eyes brighten.
What a fine-looking man.
They suddenly understood why Ning Rongrong liked Ao Tian.
With looks like that—add a silver tongue—and any young girl would fall.
Behind Ao Tian, Gu Yuena, Zhu Zhuqing, Xiao Wu, and Little Li stepped out as well.
Here, they no longer wore veils.
Four peerless beauties were revealed before Ning Fengzhi and the others.
Ao Tian's appearance was impressive enough—but when they saw the four girls, the three men nearly sucked in a sharp breath.
Not one of them was inferior to Ning Rongrong.
Especially Gu Yuena at the front—her beauty and temperament surpassed Ning Rongrong by far. Even Ning Fengzhi and the others couldn't help but feel inward admiration.
This kid really has skills, Ning Fengzhi thought. To attract so many stunning women…
He understood now.
For a girl as inexperienced as Ning Rongrong, falling to someone like Ao Tian wasn't surprising at all.
This was clearly a veteran of the romantic battlefield—probably even experienced women would struggle to resist him.
Ning Fengzhi stood calmly, making no move to greet Ao Tian.
In his view, Ao Tian was a junior. Proper etiquette dictated that the younger one should speak first.
Ao Tian didn't introduce himself. Instead, he asked directly,
"Sect Master Ning, weren't you taking a midday rest? Why aren't you inside?"
Ning Fengzhi's expression stiffened slightly.
Dugu Bo sneered."It's not even lunchtime yet. Sect Master Ning's 'midday rest' sure starts early."
Ning Fengzhi felt even more awkward.
He hadn't expected Ao Tian and Dugu Bo to press the issue so relentlessly.
Ao Tian spoke bluntly,"Sect Master Ning, that little show of authority you put on wasn't very impressive. If you'd come out any later, your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would've suffered heavy losses."
Ning Fengzhi forced a smile."So you're Ao Tian. I was busy earlier, and that disciple didn't dare disturb me, so he made up an excuse on his own. I apologize for the embarrassment. I'll be sure to punish him severely afterward."
He didn't admit fault—he simply shifted the blame.
As sect master, how could he apologize to a junior?
That would make him a laughingstock across the continent.
"Come. Let's go inside and talk," Ning Fengzhi said, turning to walk in.
Chen Xin and Gu Rong's faces twitched with restrained anger.
This brat dared to openly mock Ning Fengzhi to his face.
They really wanted to slap him twice—hard.
Everyone entered the hall and took their seats.
Servants came forward to pour tea.
This time, Ning Fengzhi spoke first.
"Ao Tian, Rongrong has mentioned you many times. I'm grateful for the care you showed her earlier. May I ask—what brings you to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect this time?"
Ao Tian smiled."Sect Master Ning, didn't you secretly read the letters Rongrong wrote to me? How can you say you don't know?"
Ning Fengzhi's smile froze.
The atmosphere instantly became awkward again.
This Ao Tian's tongue was vicious—every sentence left him with nowhere to step down.
What puzzled him most was—
How did Ao Tian know he had read those letters?
He must be bluffing, Ning Fengzhi thought.
He smiled calmly."You joke too much. I had no idea Rongrong wrote you letters."
Ao Tian replied,"Whether you admit it or not doesn't matter. What matters is this—Rongrong asked me to come help your sect refine soul tools."
Ning Fengzhi asked,"So you're willing to help us refine soul tools?"
"It's not impossible," Ao Tian said. "But I have a condition."
"What condition?" Ning Fengzhi asked.
"Your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect submits to me."
Ao Tian spoke lightly, then lifted his teacup and drank, perfectly at ease.
Ning Fengzhi froze.
This was beyond arrogance.
When Spirit Hall had tried to recruit them before, they were at least polite.
But Ao Tian directly demanded submission.
This was complete contempt for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
The smile vanished from Ning Fengzhi's face.
He calmly lifted his teacup and said flatly,
"If that is your condition, then you may leave. That will never happen. And I suggest you stop entertaining thoughts about Rongrong in the future."
"Escort the guests out," Gu Rong said mockingly.
Two disciples entered from outside.
Ao Tian didn't move.
He smiled faintly."Since I came here today, your sect has only two choices. Submit—or be wiped out. I'll give you one more chance."
Bang!
Gu Rong slammed the table and stood up in fury.
"How arrogant, you little brat! You're nothing more than a junior from Spirit Hall! You don't know your place! If you want to recruit us, go crawl back and have Bibi Dong come personally—you're not qualified!"
Dugu Bo was slightly surprised.
Only now did he realize Ao Tian was from Spirit Hall.
But he didn't care.
He followed Ao Tian—not Spirit Hall.
A cold glint flashed in his eyes. At a single order, he would strike without hesitation.
Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin maintained calm smiles as they looked at Ao Tian.
Around the hall, there were only two disciples left.
All others had already withdrawn to safe zones via sound transmission.
Even if fighting broke out here, the sect wouldn't suffer much loss. Dugu Bo's threat had been minimized.
They were certain—
Ao Tian and Dugu Bo wouldn't dare act.
If necessary, they could do without these soul tools.
Tang San's hidden weapons were no worse.
Ao Tian's expression remained tranquil.
He said indifferently,
"Disrespect toward me and toward Bibi Dong must be punished."
Gu Rong sneered."I'd like to see how you plan to punish me."
The moment he finished speaking—
His eyes bulged violently.
Blood sprayed from his mouth.
The chair beneath him shattered, and his body slammed into the ground as if crushed by a mountain tens of thousands of meters tall.
