The next day.
A stretch of red clouds lit up the eastern sky. Sunlight streamed through the window, flooding the room with brightness, as if announcing the beginning of a beautiful new day.
Qian Renxue lay on the bed in her sleepwear, quietly gazing out the window. As the sky grew brighter and brighter, she still did not get up.
"Young Master, Ning Fengzhi of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has arrived."
The voice of Porcupinefish Douluo suddenly sounded from outside.
Qian Renxue was startled upon hearing this and hurriedly replied, "Have someone receive him in the front courtyard first. I'll be there shortly."
With that said,
Qian Renxue quickly got up, washed up, then began disguising herself and changing clothes.
Not long after,
Qian Renxue arrived late. Looking at Ning Fengzhi seated in the main hall of the front courtyard, she called out:
"This disciple has been feeling somewhat unwell and failed to come out in time to welcome you. Please forgive me, Teacher."
Ning Fengzhi nodded slightly and asked with concern:
"Qinghe, how are you feeling now?"
"I'm fine. I've worried Teacher," Qian Renxue replied.
Ning Fengzhi looked at "Xue Qinghe," hesitated for a moment, then asked:
"Qinghe, the matter of you previously trying to win over Tang San and Tang Hao—surely it wasn't that simple, was it?"
Hearing this, Qian Renxue hesitated briefly and asked, "What has Teacher realized?"
Ning Fengzhi nodded slightly and said:
"I noticed something was off with your expression yesterday. Your attempt to win over Tang San couldn't have been sincere. Moreover, Tang San was arrested by Xue Xing and thrown into the Heavenly Prison."
"I suspect that your attempt to win over Tang San was not genuine. Your real purpose was to drive a wedge between them and the Clear Sky Sect, wasn't it?"
Qian Renxue nodded at Ning Fengzhi's words and did not refute them.
Ning Fengzhi stood up, sighed softly, and said:
"Qinghe, there's something I haven't told you yet. The current power of Spirit Hall is enormous. It's not impossible for them to take action against the two great empires."
"If that day truly comes, with Spirit Hall's strength, I fear… the Heaven Dou Empire will be in grave danger!"
Qian Renxue was somewhat surprised and asked:
"Why does Teacher suddenly bring this up? Has Teacher received some kind of news?"
Qian Renxue guessed that Ning Rongrong must have revealed something to Ning Fengzhi. Although that little devil was young, having grown up in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, she was still quite sensitive to the powers on the continent.
Ning Fengzhi looked at "Xue Qinghe," hesitated inwardly, then nodded slightly and said:
"I do know some things."
"Qinghe, if one day in the future, Teacher chooses to protect only himself and remain uninvolved, would you hate me?"
Qian Renxue felt a hint of delight in her heart. Ning Fengzhi's words made her understand that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was wavering.
If Spirit Hall were to launch a war against Heaven Dou in the future, even if the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect did not directly join Spirit Hall, they would likely not help the Heaven Dou Empire either.
After thinking for a moment, Qian Renxue said:
"I wouldn't hate Teacher. As the Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Teacher naturally has to consider the entire sect."
Ning Fengzhi looked at "Xue Qinghe" with guilt in his eyes and said in a deep voice:
"Not long ago, Bibi Dong announced Hu Liena as the Saintess of Spirit Hall, and also announced Su Chen as Hu Liena's fiancé."
"That means Hu Liena is the successor to the next Pope, and Su Chen will certainly assist Spirit Hall. Rongrong once told me that Su Chen is stronger than Qian Daoliu, Bibi Dong, Bo Saixi, and Tang Chen."
"Just imagine—with Spirit Hall's current strength, plus such a powerhouse, what force on the entire continent could possibly be their match?"
As Qian Renxue listened to Ning Fengzhi's words, her expression grew gloomy.
In truth,
Qian Renxue felt joy in her heart.
Humans are not plants—who can be without feelings?
Although she was an impostor, after being master and disciple with Ning Fengzhi for so many years, she truly did not wish to end up facing him with blades drawn.
Qian Renxue hesitated for a moment, then asked:
"So Teacher has already made a decision?"
Ning Fengzhi fell silent briefly, then replied in a low voice:
"Not yet."
"I'm waiting for Rongrong to return, and I'm also secretly investigating matters related to Su Chen. It's just that…"
Ning Fengzhi looked at Qian Renxue, hesitating, unsure whether he should continue.
Seeing this, Qian Renxue asked:
"Teacher, is there something you can't tell this student?"
"Ah."
Ning Fengzhi shook his head and sighed, saying:
"Through some of my investigations and from Rongrong's letters, I've learned that there are many girls around Su Chen. For example, Hu Liena, the Saintess of Spirit Hall—at such a young age, she is already a Soul Douluo, and her fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth soul rings are all over one hundred thousand years old."
"Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling are also close to breaking through to Soul Douluo despite their young age. Even among them, Zhu Zhuqing, who is only twelve years old, is already a Soul Saint above level seventy."
"These genius girls, unheard of throughout history, all rose because of Su Chen's help. Qinghe, you should be able to imagine just how terrifying Spirit Hall will become with Su Chen, right?"
"Even… in Rongrong's latest letter, she mentioned that Spirit Hall possesses at least two quasi-god experts at level one hundred. Even Bo Saixi would be far inferior to them."
In the end, Ning Fengzhi still spoke of everything he knew. This was also, as a teacher, his final help to his disciple "Xue Qinghe."
Qian Renxue's emotions were complicated. She knew very well that for Ning Fengzhi to tell her these things meant that he truly valued their bond.
Thus,
Qian Renxue felt deeply moved. Yet she was also worried—once her true identity was exposed, how would Teacher view her, and how should she face him then?
"Thank you, Teacher."
Qian Renxue bowed deeply to Ning Fengzhi. At this moment, as a teacher, Ning Fengzhi was worthy of her respect.
Ning Fengzhi nodded slightly, looked at "Xue Qinghe," hesitated, then said:
"Actually, there's no need to view things so pessimistically. I remember you once said that you know Hu Liena of Spirit Hall, and that you even had a brief encounter with Su Chen."
"As the saying goes, those who understand the times are heroes. If there's an opportunity in the future, you must befriend them and seek reconciliation."
Qian Renxue nodded, hesitated, then asked:
"Teacher, if one day you discover that I deceived you, would you hate me?"
Hearing this, a hint of confusion appeared in Ning Fengzhi's eyes. In the end, he said:
"Just as you said earlier, Qinghe—you are not alone."
"In any case, the feelings between us as master and disciple are pure for now. As for the future, none of us knows how things will develop."
"Come, accompany me for a walk."
Qian Renxue nodded and followed Ning Fengzhi out of the Crown Prince's Residence, wandering aimlessly through Heaven Dou City.
At this moment, the diary updated.
[Today was truly a day that made me very angry!]
[As a fine young man of the twenty-first century, I originally handled things according to the principle of 'If people don't offend me, I won't offend them.']
[Of course… this standard does not apply to Tang San and Yu Xiaogang. I purely dislike them, so bullying them is intentional.]
[But toward others, I never relied on my strength to do anything excessive. Yet! Some people are just unbelievably blind!]
