This tower belongs to one of the three upper sects, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.
Inside the council hall,
Ning Fengzhi sat upright on a large rosewood carved chair, discussing sect affairs with Sword Douluo Chen Xin and Bone Douluo Gu Rong beside him.
Suddenly, a dark figure rushed into the hall at lightning speed and knelt on one knee.
"Reporting to the Sect Master!"
The newcomer was panting heavily, and the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect emblem was embroidered on his robe. He respectfully said:
"I have found the whereabouts of the brother and sister you instructed me to keep an eye on two years ago!"
Ning Fengzhi was slightly taken aback. Troubled by numerous trivial matters, he couldn't recall which pair of siblings it was for a moment.
Chen Xin whispered a reminder: "Sect Master, it's that silver-haired boy with a little girl at the Water Ripple City auction two years ago."
"It's him!" Ning Fengzhi's eyes flashed with surprise.
Two years ago, the brother and sister suddenly disappeared, and no one knows where they went.
Such a talented and compassionate young man would be a real shame to kill in secret. Furthermore, given his unheard-of escape technique that leaves no trace, even if they wanted to find him, it would be extremely difficult.
It had already been roughly determined that the young man would not join the Spirit Hall, nor did he seem to want to join any sect.
Ning Fengzhi had intended to at least establish a good relationship with him, even if it meant failing to win him over. He planned to provide him with some insignificant resources for free, hoping the other party would remember this small favor. In the future, as he grew stronger, it would serve as another neutral ally.
Of course, this is only one of the reasons.
Secondly, Ning Fengzhi's character is still uncertain; he must meet with her in person to confirm.
To avoid alerting the enemy, he secretly dispatched the sect's most capable scout soul masters, along with several absolutely trusted disciples, to secretly gather intelligence throughout the continent.
Especially within the Heaven Dou Empire, their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's businesses are spread across major cities. It can be said that every city that can be ranked in terms of prestige has members of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
Even so, they were still unable to meticulously search every household and every corner.
The country has cities, villages outside cities, streets and alleys within cities. Sending out only a few people is simply not enough to search them all. Unless a nationwide manhunt is launched and a large number of people are dispatched to search for them.
They thought the hope was slim, but two years later, the boy reappeared!
"Have you confirmed their identity? Describe their characteristics," Ning Fengzhi pressed.
The reconnaissance soul master respectfully replied, "The silver-haired boy is tall and has a cool and aloof demeanor; the black-haired girl is exquisitely beautiful and lively. Most importantly, the boy is wearing a purple prismatic earring on his right ear, which is very likely the storage soul tool, the Twin Star Vortex, that the sect leader mentioned."
After listening, Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin exchanged a glance.
He's definitely the one in my heart, no doubt about it!
"Where are they?" Chen Xin, who was usually silent, suddenly spoke, her tone carrying a hint of excitement.
"Reporting to Sword Douluo, in the province of Fasno, in a small town called Notting City, they seem to have enrolled in a junior soul master academy."
The journey from Nottingham to Qibao is long, nearly 2000 kilometers.
However, this pure agility-type Soul Emperor, who specialized in speed, spared no effort and used Soul Skills continuously to travel, completing the journey in just six days.
Ning Fengzhi frowned slightly at “Notting City”, it really was quite far.
"You've worked hard. The sect will give you a reward. Go down and collect your reward."
"Thank you, Sect Master!"
After the Soul Emperor withdrew.
Gu Rong, the Bone Douluo in his seat, curiously sized up the two of them: "Is this the genius with two rings and a thousand years of cultivation that you mentioned? No wonder Old Swordsman is acting so strangely."
This time, Chen Xin ignored him, which was unusual for her, not wanting to waste time arguing.
He looked at Ning Fengzhi: "Fengzhi, what are your plans?"
Ning Fengzhi shook his head: "A distance of over a thousand kilometers is indeed quite far. That young man has many thoughts and is exceptionally talented, yet he still chose to enter the Junior Soul Master Academy. Perhaps it's just for his sister? What if they drop out early and leave Notting City? Wouldn't it be a waste of our time to make such a long trip?"
"Yes, that's true. Going on a long trip so casually makes it seem like we have a lot of free time," Chen Xin nodded.
Just when they were unsure of what to do,
A little girl wearing a long, flowing dress and with short, ear-length hair skipped and hopped into the main hall: "Daddy! Grandpa Sword! Grandpa Bone!"
Upon seeing the little girl, all three of them showed doting smiles.
Upon seeing his daughter, Ning Fengzhi suddenly had an idea: "Uncle Jian, hasn't Rongrong been away from home for a while?"
Chen Xin understood and his eyes lit up: "We can head towards Notting City, which will allow us to tour the continent with Rongrong and also visit Notting Academy. If the young man isn't at the academy, we can treat it as taking the little princess on a long trip!"
“That’s right.” Ning Fengzhi smiled slightly. “If all goes well, we can also take this opportunity to let our little princess see what it means to be outmatched and to be in a world of great potential.”
After saying that, he turned to Gu Rong, who was playing with Ning Rongrong, and said, "Uncle Gu, I'll have to trouble you to stay and oversee things at the sect."
"It's alright, have a safe journey."
Gu Rong was also very curious about what kind of kid could make his old rival so concerned.
Ning Rongrong blinked her big eyes and asked for a hug: "Daddy, where are we going?"
Ning Fengzhi held her in his arms and smiled, "Daddy's going to a place called Nottingham City. Rongrong, do you want to come along?"
"Yes! Rongrong wants to go!"
"Haha, okay, Dad will take you. But let's make it clear first, you have to cultivate diligently on the way, understand?"
"Ah? Oh."
Ning Rongrong immediately looked unwilling, which made the three of them burst into laughter.
In a valley not far from Holy Soul Village, waterfalls cascade down like a silver river, and the pools are crystal clear.
A figure in a tattered cloak slowly walked to the edge of the pool, gazing at the cascading waterfall with a tender look in his eyes.
Tang Hao flashed and leaped onto the opposite reef.
The Clear Sky Hammer appeared out of thin air, soaring into the sky, its immense soul power causing the turbulent currents to surge upwards.
He pressed his hand precisely on the rock face behind the waterfall and slipped into the cave.
After Tang San left home and entered Notting Academy, Tang Hao secretly protected him.
Once he was sure his son was safe, he would occasionally take some time to come to the cave to visit his wife.
"Ah Yin, I've come to see you." He took out the luminous stone, and the soft light illuminated the cave.
The next second, his pupils contracted violently.
Where is Ah Yin?
He teleported to the location he remembered, only to find that not only was the mound gone, but the rocks underneath had also been completely cut away.
Ah Yin has disappeared!
He quickly searched other locations, wondering if he had misremembered.
But after searching for a long time, I couldn't even find a single blade of grass!
"Gintoki! My Gintoki! Who is he?!"
Tang Hao roared angrily, and his nine spirit rings burst out uncontrollably, causing the entire cave to tremble with terrifying spirit power.
He raised the Haotian Hammer and smashed it wildly in all directions, his fierce roar echoing throughout the cave.
"Ah Yin. That's right! The Soul Bone!"
He suddenly remembered and rushed to where the lead box was hidden.
Seeing that the box was still there, he breathed a slight sigh of relief.
But when he opened the box and found it empty, a complete rage swept over him once again.
"Damn it! Who is it?! I'll make you wish you were dead!"
Tang Hao's eyes were bloodshot, his eyeballs were full of blood vessels, and his face was distorted with anger.
After venting his anger, he staggered out of the cave, looking more haggard and worn than ever before.
The wife is gone, and even her bones are gone.
The more I thought about it, the angrier and sadder I became, and endless regret welled up in my heart.
If I had known this would happen, I should have carried the soul bone with me at all times!
The thief left no trace; where should we even begin the search?
The seeds and the soul bones left behind by Ah Yin—she's lost them all. What else is there left?
"Yes, I also have a mistress! That's right, my mistress is my only hope!"
Thinking of his son's twin martial souls, Tang Hao forced himself to cheer up, and with a flash, he sped off towards Notting Academy.
Chapter 71 Hidden Soul Ring, Suspicious Tang San
Notting College, fourth floor of the dormitory building.
The afternoon sun streamed into the room through the window.
Inside the Hall of a Thousand Mirrors
Dongfang Jing and Dongfang Yao sat back-to-back, their soul power flowing around them.
Having just finished the nurturing process at the Mirror Spring, the turbidity and impurities in their bodies had been cleared away, and they could clearly feel that their soul power was as pure and smooth as a clear spring.
In other words, their control over their own soul power has reached a new level!
Three spirit rings—purple, black, and purple—slowly appeared around Dongfang Jing's body, then gradually disappeared under his precise control, leaving only the Shattered Mirror Martial Soul floating in the air, with no trace of the spirit rings.
They truly achieved a situation where no spirit rings were visible, only shattered mirrors!
In contrast, Dongfang Yao seemed to be struggling, which shows that she is not good at the precise control of soul power.
She tried to conceal the purple soul ring of the Star Sword, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead. The color of the soul ring changed from purple to yellow.
In the end, she finally relaxed her tense nerves in frustration.
The little girl looked a bit disappointed and turned to look behind her.
But Dongfang Jing looked relaxed, completely concealing his three spirit rings.
When the two are compared,
