Chapter 25: Ning Fengzhi Has Ideas
Many days later, in the morning of his luxurious private bedroom, Li Tianyi was hunched over his desk, writing and drawing, his brow furrowed.
"Knock, knock, knock!"
A gentle knock sounded at the door.
"Coming!" Li Tianyi picked up the sketched note and quickly put it into his ring, then hurried over to open the door.
"Sect Master Ning?" Li Tianyi asked curiously, then suddenly remembered that if he needed anything, he could just page him instead of coming in person.
Ning Fengzhi smiled and said, "Xiaotian, I hope I didn't disturb you!"
"No!" Li Tianyi shook his head, a sense of unease rising within him.
The sect leader visiting so politely this morning—if there was nothing wrong, it would be a miracle.
But what could he possibly need from him? Strange.
Ning Fengzhi didn't seem to consider him an outsider, walking right in and leaning back naturally on the sofa.
"What are you doing?" Li Tianyi asked, puzzled.
"Ahem, my daughter's missing!" Ning Fengzhi coughed.
Uh, what did he mean? Li Tianyi was completely stunned, and then he couldn't help but sneer inwardly. Why are you looking for an outsider like me when your daughter is missing?
Wait!
If I remember correctly, Ning Fengzhi must have sent someone to follow Ning Rongrong all the way to Shrek.
So why are you asking me when you already know the answer?
Haha, Li Tianyi smelled the scent of a trap.
Between his thoughts and the next, only two seconds passed outside.
After considering it, Li Tianyi said loudly, "I believe that with the Sect Master's wisdom and strength, he wouldn't let a living person get lost so easily!"
Ning Fengzhi was stunned. Li Tianyi's response went beyond the scope of his pre-planned script, and his prepared rhetoric was no longer applicable.
Ning Fengzhi quickly composed himself and said solemnly, "There's no need for us to play games. I'll just get straight to the point."
Haha, you're playing games, not me!
"My daughter Rongrong went to Shrek Academy," Ning Fengzhi said, then paused.
Here we go, it's started again, and you haven't even mentioned your purpose, right? Since you're willing to show off, don't blame me for playing you.
Li Tianyi's stern expression softened slightly, and with a hint of excitement, he said, "Master, congratulations!"
Huh? Ning Fengzhi was stunned again, feeling that this was another uncharacteristic move.
"What's the joy?"
"My daughter ran away from home!" Ning Fengzhi enunciated his words with particular care.
"Master! Other daughters run away from their parents for love, but your daughter is truly remarkable!"
Ning Fengzhi's expression began to turn strange.
"I don't know what Shrek is, but it's clear that your daughter wants to go to school. With such a thirst for learning, as a parent, we should definitely celebrate! Why are you so gloomy?"
Looking at Li Tianyi, who was meticulously analyzing things, Ning Fengzhi's face turned a little green. He felt that what he said made sense, yet something seemed off.
"Ahem, Xiaotian, actually I came here this time to ask you for help with something!"
Li Tianyi replied humbly: "Just tell me directly if you have something to say, why be so polite!"
Ning Fengzhi sighed and said: "Originally, I thought it would be no big deal for Rongrong to sneak away to Shrek Academy.
This way she can avoid the excessive doting of the two elders of the sect, and also temper her temper outside."
Li Tianyi nodded in agreement. If Ning Rongrong was not sent out to connect with Tang San, would the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda have a chance to evolve into the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda?
"But," Ning Fengzhi said, his tone shifting to a worried tone. "Recent events have given me a premonition that this entire continent is in turmoil, and things are about to get dicey."
"So you're worried about leaving your daughter out there and want to bring her back?"
Ning Fengzhi looked at Li Tianyi approvingly and nodded. "Yes, I do, but there's a problem!"
"What's the problem?"
Ning Fengzhi's face flickered with helplessness for the first time. "My daughter is a witch-level woman. It's impossible to get her back without some effort."
Li Tianyi wanted to say, "You can just send a Bone Douluo to forcibly bring her back," but he didn't.
After a while, "Then we'll prepare for half a day and leave this afternoon!" Ning Fengzhi finished, humming a little tune as he left, seemingly in a good mood.
Li Tianyi closed the door, walked to the bedside with a stern expression, and pulled out his handwritten masterpiece from his ring.
After studying it for a long time, he put the note away again. Looking out the window, Li Tianyi pondered the conversation.
Ning Fengzhi's intention was to find someone to destroy all of Shrek's peers. That way, his daughter would find the outside world boring and naturally return.
The idea was a good one, but the problem was that the Shrek students were too powerful. While the disciples of the same age in the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect had more resources, they didn't have the same strength advantage.
Therefore, Ning Fengzhi targeted Li Tianyi and wanted to invite him to come out and defeat the younger generation of Shrek.
Li Tianyi patted his forehead, feeling a headache. He truly didn't want to have anything to do with Shrek.
If they didn't have any contact now, then when a conflict arose, he wouldn't have to feel any pressure to act, no need to be soft-hearted.
In Li Tianyi's mind, there was no such thing as clear-cut right or wrong in this world. All hostilities were simply a matter of perspective and standpoint. If a tiger ate a rabbit, but the rabbit was innocent, was the tiger guilty?
If Xiao Wu didn't know Da Ming and Er Ming, would Tang San attack them for their spirit rings?
If the Spirit Hall was wrong, would the Heaven Dou Empire or the Star Luo Empire, if they achieved the same power as the Spirit Hall, would they attempt to annex other countries?
Li Tianyi shook his head, unwilling to dwell on such matters. Many things were simply impossible to unravel. Right now, he simply wanted to quickly improve his own strength and gain sufficient influence.
Only then could he protect those he wanted to protect and repay those who had sacrificed for him.
"Sect Master, why didn't Elder Chen come?"
Li Tianyi felt a pang of regret, noticing that only Bone Douluo was accompanying them.
Ning Fengzhi seemed to be in a good mood, probably because he was about to see his daughter. He smiled gently and said, "You are talking about Uncle Jian. He usually stays in the sect and practices swordsmanship wholeheartedly. He basically never goes out."
A warm feeling suddenly surged in Li Tianyi's heart. He remembered that Jian Douluo had gone to him day after day for six years to demonstrate his swordsmanship.
"Why, you kid, do you dislike me, an old man?" Gu Douluo scolded with a smile.
Li Tianyi waved his hands repeatedly and said, "How could that be? With you here with Sect Master Ning and me, I feel very safe!"
"Very safe?" Gu Douluo was puzzled.
"Uh," Li Tianyi explained, "It means super awesome!"
"Awesome?" Ning Fengzhi didn't understand either.
"It means super powerful!!" Li Tianyi's forehead flashed with a few black lines, and he patiently translated.
"Haha, I see." Gu Douluo suddenly understood.
While the three were talking, Shrek was about to arrive...
