Bai Yu put down his teacup, his smile faded, and looked up at Ning Fengzhi, saying softly:
"Sect Leader Ning is right. I do not like the constraints of power, but I still joined Spirit Hall."
"And I have never had the idea of leaving, because I grew up in an orphanage, so does Sect Leader Ning still have any doubts?"
Ning Fengzhi gave a wry smile, shook his head, and also picked up his teacup and took a sip.
"Hehe, no more. The debt of saving a life and the kindness of raising a child are things that anyone would feel the same way about. If it were betrayal, then there would be nowhere left to go in the world!"
Bai Yu tapped his fingers on the table and said with a smile:
"However, joining a major power has been quite nice, especially since I'm a high-ranking member, which gives me a lot of prestige!"
Ning Fengzhi chuckled, then his eyes turned icy cold, and his voice became low.
"Ha, Bai Yu, since you really are the Holy Son of Spirit Hall, and you even dare to admit it in front of me, aren't you afraid we'll kill you here to prevent future troubles?"
Just as Bai Yu was about to speak, Ning Rongrong rushed over and interrupted her.
"Dad, you've gone too far! Bai Yu saved my life, you can't kill him!"
"Pfft, haha!"
Ning Rongrong was earnestly reasoning with her father when she suddenly heard laughter. She turned around and glared at him angrily.
Upon discovering that it was Bai Yu laughing, Ning Rongrong became even more furious and angrily said:
"You're still laughing! I'm trying to help you out of this situation, don't you know that?"
Seeing that Ning Rongrong was about to jump up and hit him, Bai Yu quickly waved his hand and tried to comfort her.
"I won't laugh, I won't laugh! But Rongrong, there's something you need to know."
"If one faction wants to kill people from other factions, it must do so secretly. To kill them openly would be a slap in the face. Even if it's just for the sake of face, they have to fight back."
"So even if Sect Master Ning wants to kill me, he has to catch me alone and then strike me deadly. He won't just do it like that. Otherwise, when Spirit Hall avenges me, he won't even have an ally to rely on, and he won't be in the right."
Ning Rongrong was dumbfounded. She had never been exposed to these things before and had no idea that there were so many twists and turns involved.
But thinking about it carefully, Bai Yu is right. If her father wasn't stupid, he wouldn't have done that.
She then turned to look at Ning Fengzhi with a strange expression, wondering if her father had lost his mind!
Ning Fengzhi was provoked by Ning Rongrong's gaze, his lips twitched violently, and he secretly thought that his little darling was letting in the cold!
Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo couldn't help but chuckle at the sight, each trying to distract themselves and avoid laughing out loud.
Ning Fengzhi coughed lightly and said to Ning Rongrong:
"Bai Yu is right. Dad really didn't intend to take action. Don't overthink it."
He then turned his gaze to Bai Yu, his tone filled with emotion.
"Moreover, it's too late to act now. His Holiness the Holy Son has grown powerful, and we are not confident that we can succeed. If we fail, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will face annihilation!"
Bai Yu leaned back, looking slightly relaxed.
"Sect Leader Ning is a very honest man. I guess he came here today to test me, right? If you didn't come to see me, Sect Leader Ning would probably put the assassination plan on the agenda and prepare to kill me after he goes back?"
Ning Fengzhi nodded, admitting it directly.
"That's highly likely. After all, we don't know the extent of your injuries from your battle with the Clear Sky Douluo. If you don't come, I'll assume you're seriously injured and haven't recovered yet!"
"ah?"
Ning Rongrong was dumbfounded. What nonsense were these two spouting? One was just asking questions, and the other was just giving nonsensical answers? Had they both lost their minds? Wouldn't they start fighting? How could they possibly continue their conversation?
Seeing Ning Rongrong's puzzled expression, Bai Yu smiled and answered her question in a good mood.
"It's not strange that we can keep talking. But Rongrong, you need to know that the current situation is that I can't beat your father and the others, and they can't kill me either."
"Once we leave this door, your father won't admit he said those things, and I can't make a big deal out of it, otherwise this continent, which is like a powder keg, will instantly explode and cause a huge upheaval because of me, this spark!"
Ning Fengzhi nodded and said in agreement:
"Brother Bai is right, Rongrong. You still have a lot to learn. Among the major powers, unless one side absolutely crushes all the others, it will be a struggle without a complete breakdown!"
Ning Rongrong understood, but her face flushed with anger. Was she the only idiot in the room? She cursed inwardly, thinking, "It's all because of Bai Yu! Can't Bai Yu just die already?"
Ning Fengzhi then stood up and said to Bai Yu:
"Thank you for showing up and clearing up my doubts, Brother Bai. Now that we have achieved our goal, we will take our leave."
Bai Yu raised an eyebrow and stood up to stop him.
"Sect Leader Ning, please wait a moment. I have something else to say. Would you like to listen to me first?"
Ning Fengzhi looked curious and sat back down.
"Oh? I wonder what Brother Bai wants to say? I'm all ears."
Bai Yu sat back down, lightly tapping her teacup with her fingers, and said softly:
"I wonder if Sect Leader Ning has any plans to bring the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to join the Spirit Hall?"
Upon hearing Bai Yu's words, Ning Fengzhi chuckled, his tone sarcastic.
"Haha, Your Highness wants me to stay so that I can hear a joke? This joke is not funny at all."
Bai Yu waved his hand and said calmly:
"Sect Leader Ning, please don't be in a hurry. Let's take it one step at a time. Let me first tell you what I can offer you."
"Moreover, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is ultimately a support sect. Even if it joins the Spirit Hall, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will still be the number one support sect in the world. It's just that the Spirit Hall will be added above it."
Ning Fengzhi narrowed his eyes and began toying with the jade thumb ring in his hand.
"Brother Bai's words sound nice, but who would have thought there's someone above him? But since we're talking about terms, Brother Bai, please tell us how the Spirit Hall intends to win over our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?"
Bai Yu snapped his fingers and said with a smile:
"Sect Master Ning was straightforward. My first condition is that during peacetime, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School would have absolute autonomy, but the Spirit Hall would send someone to reside in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. However, the person stationed there would not be involved in any affairs."
"The second condition is soul tools. As a sect with a long history, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School should have some records of it."
"Therefore, as long as you join the Spirit Hall, Sect Master Ning can send people to learn about all soul tools below level seven. As for those above level seven, you will need to work for the Spirit Hall!"
Bai Yu paused for a moment, and his gaze towards Ning Fengzhi shifted from disdain to a flicker of interest, revealing that he was somewhat tempted.
After all, a support-type Soul Master has no ability to protect himself, but becoming a Soul Master is different. As long as he has enough Soul Tools, he can be a Soul Master of any type.
Ning Fengzhi twirled his fingers and said to Bai Yu:
"It is indeed very attractive. I had already received news that the Spirit Hall had obtained information on soul tools from somewhere and had been studying it in secret."
"It seems to be from Brother Bai. The Spirit Hall is really lucky. But this is not enough. It's not enough for my sect to join. After all, once we join, we will be inferior to others!"
