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 is a third condition: as long as the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School joins the Spirit Hall, I will help the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School change its name to the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School!"
"How about this offer? If it still can't sway Sect Leader Ning, then there's nothing I can do. From now on, we'll just have to use our own methods and see who's more clever."
Before Bai Yu could finish speaking, Ning Fengzhi's pupils shrank, and the jade ring in his hand was crushed.
"What do you mean by that, Brother Bai? You should know that the reason my sect is called the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is because the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, a martial soul, restricts one from breaking through to the Soul Saint level."
"Could it be that you have a way to break free of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's limitations and allow it to 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! Brother Bai, 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 little confused because when Bai Yu and the others were talking about an immortal herb, the people who were protecting Ning Rongrong were quite far away and didn't know about it.
Seeing that her father knew nothing, Ning Rongrong explained to Ning Fengzhi and the other two with a disdainful tone.
As time slowly passed, Ning Fengzhi's eyes grew brighter and brighter, and finally he stood up and stared intently at Bai Yu.
"Does Brother Bai mean you have an Immortal herb that can evolve the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda?"
Bai Yu understood Ning Fengzhi's excitement and didn't try to persuade him further, simply nodding in agreement.
"Sect Leader Ning is right. I do have an Immortal herb that can evolve the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. So please, Sect Leader Ning, consider my proposal carefully."
Ning Fengzhi took a deep breath, slowly sat down, and kept clenching his open hands, representing his complex emotions.
"Hehe, if it weren't for Brother Bai's strength and the even stronger backing, I, Ning, would really have made a move by now."
"Uncle Sword, Uncle Bone, what do you think?"
Unable to make a decision, Ning Fengzhi turned to Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo, hoping they could 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 the swordsman and see what he has to say?"
Sword Douluo was somewhat silent. He had a grudge against the Spirit Hall, but it wasn't really a grudge, since his father had voluntarily challenged Qian Daoliu and was killed. According to the rules, he didn't even have a reason to seek revenge.
He knew that if he disagreed, Ning Fengzhi would definitely refuse Bai Yu without hesitation.
However, he found it hard to accept that this seemingly minor grudge would directly sever the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's path, since the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was his home, and he was an elder in that family.
"Fengzhi, I agree. Join the Spirit Hall. Although there will be people above you who will keep you in check, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will have a greater chance of development after you join!"
Ning Fengzhi looked at Sword Douluo with a hint of helplessness in his eyes. He didn't want Sword Douluo to make this decision, but on one hand, it was the pursuit of the sect for generations, and on the other hand, it was the sect's pillar of strength.
He really couldn't make a choice. This was the first time in his life that he had wavered. He then suppressed his thoughts and looked at Bai Yu.
"Good, Your Holiness is indeed a capable person. You have really persuaded me. However, if you want my sect to join, there is one more condition: you must marry Rongrong!"
"Dad! What nonsense are you talking about now!"
Ning Rongrong was truly ashamed this time. Her fair skin turned completely pink, and she kept tapping her feet, wanting to run out, but also wanting to hear what Bai Yu had to say.
Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo were also shocked as they looked at Ning Fengzhi. They had already received news that Ning Rongrong's friend Zhu Zhuqing was already Bai Yu's girlfriend, and they didn't know if she had any other girlfriends outside.
How could anyone marry Rongrong to such a sentimental guy? Just as he was about to speak up to stop her, he saw Ning Rongrong's appearance and immediately gave a bitter smile.
Bai Yu looked somewhat taken aback, then smiled and said:
"Okay, I agree. Since Uncle Ning is willing to marry Rongrong to me, I will not refuse. After all, I like Rongrong quite a bit too."
Ugh! You guys are so annoying!
Ning Rongrong pounced on Sword Douluo, hiding her face. She was a little shy and wanted to pretend to be an ostrich.
Ning Fengzhi and the other two stared blankly at Bai Yu, thinking to themselves that this kid really knew how to climb the ladder. He had gone from being Sect Leader Ning to Uncle Ning.
Bai Yu, unaware that he had been labeled shameless, continued speaking.
"Since we're all family now, I won't hide anything from you. This item is called the Star Luo Spirit Pearl. It receives the radiance of the moon and the rhythm of the earth's veins. It's a treasure of nature and a masterpiece of creation. It's enough to allow Uncle Ning's martial soul to evolve and break through its limitations."
As the words were spoken, Bai Yu took out a crystal box, opened it, and a plant with pitch-black leaves and a golden fruit growing at the top appeared.
He reached out and took it out; as the golden fruit swayed, it seemed as if starlight flowed around it, which was quite magical.
(TL: I thought itd be the Beautiful Silk Tulip but it turns out to be some other herb mc put out of his ass)
Sword Douluo and the others, including Ning Rongrong, all looked over. This miraculous sight made the four of them sigh, "It truly lives up to its name as an Immortal herb!"
Ning Fengzhi looked longingly at the Star Luo Spirit Pearl and said to Ning Rongrong:
"Rongrong, you should use this herb. Dad is getting old, and its effects might be less pronounced. Besides, it's hard to find, so it's safer for you to use it."
Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo's expressions changed, as if they wanted to say something but hesitated. This was given to Rongrong, and she still had to marry that shameless brat afterward. Wasn't this just a free gift?
If it were anyone else, they would definitely object on the spot, but this person is their beloved Ning Rongrong, which puts them in a difficult position.
Looking at the expressions of the two pillars of the state, Ning Fengzhi knew what they were thinking, but he also had his own ideas. As a businessman, once he decided to place a bet, he should bet big!
Bai Yu will eventually take charge of the Spirit Hall, while Rongrong will take charge of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. Out of respect for Rongrong, Bai Yu will definitely not allow the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to decline.
At worst, he could just let Rongrong's child take his mother's surname, Ning, and inherit the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. Then, as his son's sect, Bai Yu would have to help even more!
Before Ning Rongrong, his little darling, could jump up and thank her father for the gift, Bai Yu said with a faint smile:
"No need for that. Since Rongrong is already one of my people, I will naturally give her a gift to welcome her. It won't be any less than this Star Luo Spirit Pearl."
"So don't worry, Uncle Ning, I won't let my own family suffer."
Ning Fengzhi clicked his tongue, shook his head, and said with a smile:
"Haha, you're really something, kid. You're strong, and your brains are top-notch too. I really envy the Spirit Hall for managing to pick you up!"
"But you're right. Since we're family, I won't stand on ceremony. Uncle will gladly accept this Star Luo Spirit Pearl!"
