Chapter 151 - The Self-Interested Merchant

"Cat Eagle Martial Soul, Level 78 Spirit Soul Saint, one of the Golden Iron Triangle's Flying Horns, Flander, I know you."

Flander's appearance didn't cause the Bone Douluo the slightest reaction. Just a Soul Saint—nothing more. If he wanted, he could easily crush him.

"Old Zhao, what's going on here?"

Flander didn't respond to the Bone Douluo immediately. He glanced at Dai Mubai lying on the ground, covered in blood, barely breathing, and coldly asked Zhao Wujie:

"Boss, they came down hard as soon as they arrived. I don't really know either."

Hearing Zhao Wujie's words, Flander's face darkened slightly. Then he turned to the Bone Douluo and said coldly:

"Could it be that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect wants to bully others? Why treat my student like this?"

The Bone Douluo sneered:

"Do I even need to explain? When the young are attacked, the elders naturally stand up for justice. That's only natural. Do you really think our little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect can be bullied by some lowly academy?"

In the face of absolute power, Gu Rong (Bone Douluo) didn't need to mince words. Even if he wanted to, Flander, who wasn't even a Douluo-level fighter but only a Soul Saint, had no qualification to argue with him.

"You…" Flander twitched. The previous conflict between Dai Mubai and Ning Rongrong, he couldn't have been unaware of, but as the academy head, he couldn't just watch his student be beaten.

Although Dai Mubai was from the Royal Family of the Star Dou Empire, and his family was powerful, compared to one of the top three sects—the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect—there was no contest.

Just the setup of two Douluo-level fighters alone could crush the Star Luo Royal Family. Or to put it another way, unless the entire Star Dou Royal Army mobilized to suppress the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, the large-scale destructive spirit skills of Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo would wipe out the Star Luo Royal Family entirely.

On Douluo Continent, the rule is simple: the stronger one is, the more justified one is. Even if Dai Mubai got beaten—or killed—the Star Luo Royal Family could only watch. After all, he provoked a Douluo-level powerhouse.

Bone Douluo originally intended to taunt Flander a little more, but before he could speak, Ning Fengzhi interrupted:

"Dean Flander, what Uncle Gu did was a bit excessive, but Dai Mubai is also at fault. You know, he and Uncle Sword have always treated Rongrong like the apple of their eyes, so…"

Ning Fengzhi left the sentence unfinished, trusting that Flander could understand the meaning.

"Heh, as expected of the head of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. When it comes to clever argument, I, Flander, admit I'm no match," Flander thought.

Although he was extremely displeased, there was nothing he could do. Inferior in strength and influence, he had to swallow his pride.

"Ning Sect Leader, there's no need for you to go to such lengths. It's my poor management that caused Mubai to offend your little princess," Flander said stiffly, forcing a smile.

Hearing this, Ning Fengzhi nodded slightly and smiled politely.

Seeing Ning Fengzhi's refined and courteous demeanor, Flander wanted to slap him. This was the epitome of hypocrisy, and yet he could do nothing!

"By the way, Dean Flander, our visit this time is to meet Tang San. May I ask where he is?" Ning Fengzhi asked with a gentle smile.

"Looking for Tang San?" Flander twitched slightly and asked in confusion: "May I ask why Ning Sect Leader is looking for Tang San?"

Ning Fengzhi replied lightly:

"It's nothing important, just hoping to cooperate with him."

Hearing this, Flander's face darkened. He was just thinking about how to refuse when a curious voice came from behind.

"Dean, Teacher Zhao Wujie, I heard from Oscar that someone is looking for me?"

Flander stiffly turned and saw Tang San and Oscar approaching with puzzled expressions. Ning Fengzhi and Bone Douluo also saw Tang San, and immediately communicated silently.

"Fengzhi, I feel like Tang San may not be that capable. Were those fierce hidden weapons really made by him?" Bone Douluo observed Tang San while speaking.

"Uncle Gu, it doesn't matter whether he's capable. As long as he made the hidden weapons, it's enough. If our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect acquires these, ordinary disciples will be able to defend themselves," Ning Fengzhi, a self-interested merchant, always viewed things from this angle. Regardless of Tang San's performance, he knew the value of the weapons. If he could get the blueprints or mass-produce them, that was enough for him.

At this moment, Tang San noticed Dai Mubai being carried by Zhao Wujie, covered in blood. He was a little surprised, as he had recently also been heavily bandaged and had spent days recovering before he could move again.

"You must be Tang San, right?" Ning Fengzhi stepped forward. His polite and refined demeanor made Tang San pause.

"And you are?" Tang San asked, puzzled.

"Ahem, Xiao San, this is Ning Fengzhi, head of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and also Ning Rongrong's father," Flander hurriedly introduced, clearing his throat.

At the same time, Flander signaled Zhao Wujie, holding Dai Mubai, to leave quickly.

Zhao Wujie was no fool. Seeing Flander's gesture, he immediately carried Dai Mubai and hurried back into the academy. Oscar, seeing this, remained expressionless.

Dai Mubai had already learned from Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing what had happened. He had initially been skeptical, thinking they exaggerated. But when Master Ma Hongjun's news spread, he realized Ning Rongrong had told the truth.

And the so-called "brothers" he thought were trustworthy were actually scum!

Thus, Oscar had to make a choice about his future: continue learning alongside these scum, or, after graduation, join the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to pursue Ning Rongrong. He chose the latter. Though weak and insecure now, he believed he wouldn't remain weak forever. If given the chance, he would pursue strength at all costs, even if he was only a support-type soul master without combat ability.

"Ning Sect Leader, hello. I am the Tang San you're looking for," Tang San said respectfully.

"Dean Flander, please arrange a private room. I would like to have a proper discussion with Tang San," Ning Fengzhi said warmly.

"Sect Leader, you are a guest from afar. Please, right this way," Flander gestured. Though unwilling, he could only welcome them politely.

Under Flander's arrangement, Ning Fengzhi and the others entered the academy. Tang San remained puzzled, standing in place. He didn't follow Ning Fengzhi, as Flander had a reason to keep him behind.

"Dean, what does Ning Rongrong's father want with me? And why was Elder Dai beaten into such a state?" Tang San asked, confused.

Hearing this, Flander sighed and briefly explained the events that had occurred.

"What? Elder Dai was beaten by a Douluo to this state?" Tang San's face darkened. Recently, he had been severely beaten by Dugu Bo. Now seeing his brother also beaten, he felt a strange sense of empathy.

At that moment, seeing Ning Fengzhi and Bone Douluo leave, two figures emerged from the academy. They were Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing, coming over after hearing the commotion.
