Chapter 419 Engagement to be Completed in Two Months.
"Fengzhi, what do you think?"
At this moment, Gu Rong, who was standing next to Ning Fengzhi, looked at Xuan Mo and Ning Rongrong not far away and asked, "Are you really going to let Mo and Rongrong get engaged in two months?"
"Uncle Gu, if Rongrong and the others hadn't said they wanted to wait until the Shrek Eight Monsters reunited, I would have even thought of getting them engaged sooner rather than later."
Ning Fengzhi fiddled with the ring on his right hand, looked at Ning Rongrong and the others, and revealed a faint smile on his face.
"Fengzhi, are you really in such a hurry?" Chen Xin suddenly spoke up, glaring at Xuan Mo's retreating figure before saying with obvious reluctance, "You only have Rongrong as your daughter, and she's only eighteen. You're sending her off so early."
"Uncle Jian, what are you saying?" Ning Fengzhi looked at Chen Xin helplessly. "How am I sending Rongrong away? Besides, it's only an engagement in two months; they're not even married yet."
"Hmph! Then tell me, why the engagement so early?"
As elders of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and Ning Fengzhi's elders, Chen Xin and Gu Rong were utterly unyielding in the face of Ning Fengzhi's words. Chen Xin retorted.
"Uncle Jian, Uncle Gu, this is Rongrong's own wish. She made the decision herself; we can't completely oppose it, can we?"
Gu Rong waved his hand. "Feng Zhi, don't give us that nonsense. We're just worried that if she gets engaged so early, Rongrong, being so immature, might suffer in some way."
Upon hearing this, Chen Xin glared fiercely at Xuan Mo's back, as if a sharp sword was about to be drawn. "That kid dares!? If he doesn't follow the rules, I'll cut off his third leg!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Xuan Mo, who was not far away, seemed to sense something. Suddenly, he felt a chill in his lower body and shivered all over.
"Hiss? What's going on? Who's talking about me?"
Ning Rongrong also noticed Xuan Mo's strange behavior. The happiness on her face gradually faded, replaced by obvious worry. "Mo, are you alright?"
"Don't worry, I'm fine." Xuan Mo shook his head upon hearing this.
Seeing this, Ning Rongrong didn't take it to heart. Instead, she grabbed Xuan Mo's hand. "I'll take you somewhere..."
She said, and walked towards an alley in Qibao City.
Meanwhile, on Ning Fengzhi's side.
"Fengzhi, tell us your reasons."
Ning Fengzhi looked up at the starry sky and couldn't help but sigh. "Uncle Jian, Uncle Gu, do you remember what I said a few years ago? The winds and clouds on this continent have been calm for too long."
After speaking, he looked away.
"I'm worried that if the winds of change rise again in the future, this long-dormant continent will inevitably fall into turmoil for many years. That's why I suggested they get engaged as soon as possible."
Hearing Ning Fengzhi's words, the Sword and Bone Douluos exchanged glances. They both felt it was an overreaction.
Ning Fengzhi, who had been observing Chen Xin and Gu Rong for decades, knew exactly what they were thinking.
"Uncle Sword, Uncle Bone, according to our scouts, the four lower sects, some duchies, small countries, and certain advanced soul master academies have joined the Spirit Hall. Coupled with Bibi Dong's great talent and ambition, I don't believe the Spirit Hall has no ambitions."
"That's why you suggested they get engaged so soon."
Ning Fengzhi nodded slowly. "Although Xiao Mo gave Rongrong a 200,000-year-level soul bone, he won't stand idly by. But this concerns the future of the sect, so we can't be careless."
Gu Rong and Chen Xin fell silent, knowing that Ning Fengzhi hadn't done anything wrong, as it concerned the rise and fall of the sect.
After a while, when Xuan Mo and Ning Rongrong had completely disappeared from their sight, and Ning Fengzhi and the other two were preparing to return, Gu Rong suddenly asked, "Fengzhi, are you really comfortable letting Rongrong go with Mo-boy to hunt for her seventh spirit ring alone?"
In an instant, Chen Xin's gaze also focused on Ning Fengzhi, clearly waiting for his answer. After all, he and Gu Rong had strongly opposed this before.
"Don't worry, nothing unexpected will happen," Ning Fengzhi waved his hand slightly. "Before they go hunting for spirit rings, they will definitely return to Shrek Academy. And it seems that Dean Fred and Zhao Wuji of Shrek Academy are about to break through as well."
Hearing this, Gu Rong and Chen Xin immediately understood Ning Fengzhi's plan. "In that case, the timing is just right."
After admitting it, Chen Xin said seriously, "It's been a full half year since we last went to Shrek Academy. Back then, Fred and Zhao Wuji had already reached level eighty-nine. Judging from their soul power fluctuations back then, breaking through to level ninety recently shouldn't be too difficult."
"I see..."
Gu Rong waved his hand, and a spatial black hole appeared in front of the three of them. Then, the three of them walked into the spatial black hole while talking, and gradually disappeared into Seven Treasures City.
At this moment, Ning Rongrong had already led Xuan Mo through the alley and arrived at a fruit stall. However, the fruits here were very peculiar, with some varieties that Xuan Mo, who had traveled the continent, had never seen before.
Ning Rongrong picked and chose, picking up some white fruits that looked like apples and some purplish-black plums.
"Rongrong, what are these fruits?"
Just as Xuanmo was wondering, Ning Rongrong said, "I'll tell you later," and then looked at the fruit stall owner and said, "Boss, please settle the bill quickly."
The fruit stall owner looked to be about seventy years old, and walked with a slight tremor. Upon seeing Ning Rongrong, he quickly waved his hand and said, "Miss, you've come. How can I ask you for money? Please take the fruit."
Hearing this, Ning Rongrong said, "Grandpa Fruit, how can I? Since I bought your things, how can I not pay?"
Saying this, she took out five gold soul coins from her pocket, placed them in the old man's hand, and then pulled Xuanmo away.
Grandpa Guo looked at the gold soul coin in his hand, then looked up at the departing figures, especially Ning Rongrong's, and murmured, "I never thought I'd be so lucky in my later years. Miss, this old man wishes you happiness..."
Meanwhile, on the other side, Xuan Mo, who had been pulled away, looked at Ning Rongrong and said, "Rongrong, you gave only a gold soul coin for such a small amount of fruit?"
"What? Are you feeling a little heartbroken?"
Ning Rongrong pouted her red lips, somewhat dissatisfied.
Of course, that is, assuming one ignored the sly glint in her eyes. She leaned close to Xuan Mo's ear.
"And who was it that just now took a 200,000-year soul bone as a betrothal gift?"
