Chapter 736 The Sins Caused by Seeking Illness
Chapter 736 The Sins Created by Qian Xunji
Ning Fengzhi's expression froze slightly at Sword Douluo's sudden change of topic. He looked both amused and exasperated, but couldn't help shaking his head and letting out a long sigh.
"Judging from Yu Xiaogang's confident and smug expression, it's probably pretty much true."
In fact, he and Bibi Dong were of the same generation. He had been young once and had youthful spirit. Naturally, he had also had thoughts about a beautiful and talented woman like Bibi Dong.
Unfortunately, he wasn't destined for that. He had never met or known Bibi Dong in his early years. Although he had heard of this beautiful woman from heaven, he had never met her before, let alone become acquainted with her.
Even if they knew each other, their respective statuses would prevent a good outcome.
He is the successor of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, while Bibi Dong is the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall. Their identities have long destined them to be adversaries.
Unexpectedly, the woman Ning Fengzhi admired and respected was actually won over by Yu Xiaogang, a discarded scion of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. It was truly a terrible mistake.
Ning Fengzhi sighed inwardly, and the Sword Douluo standing beside him also sighed in bewilderment:
"Bibi Dong is such a stunningly talented woman, it's truly puzzling that she would fall for a Great Soul Master."
"Yu Xiaogang is neither good-looking, nor skilled in cultivation, nor has he a particularly good character. What exactly does Bibi Dong see in him?"
Ning Fengzhi raised an eyebrow slightly, watching Yu Xiaogang's figure disappear outside the camp gate, his tone low and tinged with a hint of bitterness:
"Who knows? Maybe Yu Xiaogang has some qualities that Bibi Dong likes, or maybe Bibi Dong has a unique way of judging people."
Ning Fengzhi actually wanted to say that "Bibi Dong has a problem with her judgment of people," but after thinking about it, he changed it to the word "unique."
However, when it comes to Yu Xiaogang, although he didn't think highly of him deep down, he did have a slight appreciation for him.
"But one thing must be said: although Yu Xiaogang's cultivation level is a bit low, he has some merit in the research of martial soul theory. At least he is erudite and can be called a 'master'."
Sword Douluo didn't listen much to what followed. He wasn't interested in theories about martial spirits, nor did he particularly like Yu Xiaogang. However, his evaluations were as sharp as a sword:
"I think Yu Xiaogang is more likely to take advantage of someone's vulnerability, using sweet words to deceive their feelings when they were young and naive."
"Rumor has it that Bibi Dong was an innocent and naive girl when she was young, unlike the ruthless and cruel girl she is now, who was very easy to deceive."
Ning Fengzhi was slightly taken aback. Hearing the usually stern Sword Douluo say such a thing, he couldn't help but find it somewhat amusing.
"Haha, Uncle Jian is right."
"Otherwise, I really wouldn't understand why Bibi Dong would be interested in a nobody like Yu Xiaogang."
The mention of Bibi Dong clearly raised their spirits considerably. Sword Douluo's eyes dimmed slightly as he turned the conversation back to Bibi Dong:
"That being said, the extent of Bibi Dong's personality change is indeed somewhat unexpected."
"In the more than ten years since she came to power, the Spirit Hall has been in constant turmoil, with bloodshed sweeping across the entire Douluo Continent, and countless heads have rolled."
"In terms of ruthless methods, cruelty, and cold-bloodedness, Bibi Dong is even more ruthless than Qian Xunji back then."
Ning Fengzhi's smile faded slightly, and he agreed:
"I can understand that. After all, people change. The position of Pope of the Spirit Hall is not easy to hold. If Bibi Dong hadn't been tough, she probably would have been ousted long ago."
Ning Fengzhi doesn't have many people he approves of, but Bibi Dong is definitely one of them, and also the one he is most wary of and fears.
This woman is much more difficult to deal with than Qian Xunji.
Similarly, as the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Ning Fengzhi also felt a deep connection to Bibi Dong's change in temperament.
In his youth, he was a kind-hearted, gentle, and charitable young man. But ever since he became the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and took over the heavy responsibility of the sect from his predecessors, he could no longer be naive and kind.
Even if you're not ruthless and cruel, you can't help it. Everything is so involuntary, yet so natural, and you have no choice but to do it.
That's why Ning Fengzhi was able to say those words to show his understanding.
"Indeed."
Sword Douluo nodded slightly, his face full of agreement:
"Bibi Dong is no ordinary person, as she was able to hold onto the position of Pope of the Spirit Hall."
"It is true that the Spirit Hall has been turbulent and bloody in the past ten years or so, but under Bibi Dong's leadership it has been thriving and is now at its zenith."
"Otherwise, he wouldn't be hailed as the most powerful leader in the history of the Spirit Hall and the most outstanding pope in all generations."
At this point, Sword Douluo couldn't help but feel a little emotional:
"Everyone thinks that Haotian Douluo Tang Hao is the youngest Title Douluo in the Douluo Continent, but that's not true. Bibi Dong is the youngest Title Douluo."
"This woman truly deserves to be called the most talented woman in the Douluo Continent. She cultivated to the level 70 Soul Saint in her early twenties and reached the Title Douluo realm before she was forty. Moreover, she has twin martial souls. I wonder what level she has reached now."
"They've probably already left us old folks far behind."
Ning Fengzhi remained silent after listening.
"How could such a brilliant and talented woman fall for a good-for-nothing like Yu Xiaogang? I just can't understand it, I really can't understand it."
Sword Douluo was silent for a moment, seemingly still harboring resentment towards Yu Xiaogang, before finally bringing it up again.
"It's no wonder that Qian Xunji caused this mess. He protected Bibi Dong too well and raised her to be too innocent, which is why she was so easily seduced."
Ning Fengzhi's expression changed several times upon hearing this. After thinking for a moment, he had no choice but to shift the blame onto Qian Xunji:
"It can only be said that Qian Xunji was also a good-for-nothing."
"If I were him, I would have torn Yu Xiaogang to pieces long ago for daring to seduce my Holy Maiden. I would never have allowed him to live until now."
Sword Douluo, upon hearing Ning Fengzhi's indignant words, couldn't help but chuckle.
"You're criticizing Qian Xunji, but you're not much better. Rongrong isn't innocent, but her unruly and devilish personality is something you, her father, have indulged."
"Huh? What happened? How did this get to me and Rongrong?"
Ning Fengzhi was immediately dumbfounded and asked in a daze:
"No, isn't Rongrong's personality something that you and Uncle Gu spoiled her with? How can you blame me?"
Sword Douluo immediately puffed out his beard and glared:
"Bullshit, you, as the father, are at least half responsible, okay? Stop blaming me and this old man."
Ning Fengzhi was speechless for a moment, simply because it was the truth.
"Speaking of which, Fengzhi, you must keep a close eye on Rongrong's love life and make sure she doesn't end up like Bibi Dong did."
At this moment, Sword Douluo suddenly changed the subject and mentioned something with a hint of worry.
Ning Fengzhi straightened his expression upon hearing this and assured him:
"Don't worry, Uncle Jian, I won't allow that to happen."
Sword Douluo nodded slightly, somewhat satisfied. Then, as if he had thought of something, he added a reminder:
"By the way, there's something I need to tell you."
"I noticed that Rongrong is getting quite close to one of the boys from the Shrek Seven Devils team. They might be developing feelings for each other."
Ning Fengzhi's expression immediately turned serious:
"I know."
"That boy's name is Oscar. He's quite talented, a real gem. It's a pity he's a food-type Soul Master and has no combat abilities."
"According to the clan rules, this person can be appointed as a guest minister of the clan, but cannot be the husband of a direct descendant of the Ning clan."
Sword Douluo immediately understood Ning Fengzhi's meaning:
"Since you have no intention of pairing them up, it's best to make them give up on the idea as soon as possible and keep their distance."
"Don't worry, Uncle Jian, I know what I'm doing."
Ning Fengzhi nodded, his expression slightly somber:
"Right now, Oscar likes Rongrong, but Rongrong may not like him back."
"Even if Rongrong really does like him, what difference will it make? It won't lead to anything."
"After all, the rules of the sect cannot be broken. This is the foundation of my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. It is impossible to make an exception for Rongrong alone, even if she is my daughter and the successor of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."
"Alright then, you decide what to do."
Seeing that Ning Fengzhi had already made up his mind, Sword Douluo didn't want to say anything more, but he couldn't help but offer a final word of advice:
"However, Fengzhi, don't go too far. If things turn unpleasant, Rongrong will blame you."
…………
After obtaining the papal decree from Ning Fengzhi, Yu Xiaogang hurriedly headed to Wuhun City.
Meanwhile, Flander arrived at the camp of the Spirit Hall's Second Team.
"Your Highness, there is a middle-aged Soul Master outside the door who calls himself 'Flander' and says he wants to see Miss Liu."
Before long, a Holy Emperor warrior dressed in golden knight armor entered the central courtyard of the camp and bowed respectfully.
"Oh? Flander? You want to see Sister Erlong?"
At this moment, Ye Qifeng was sitting with Liu Erlong and Jiangzhu, watching Ruiwen, Fengxian, Yelan and others training in the courtyard. Upon hearing this, he looked up in surprise at the camp gate. His immense spiritual power pierced through his body and indeed sensed Flander's figure.
He was the only one.
"Huh? To see me?"
Liu Erlong was engrossed in watching Ruiwen and the others train, and when he heard the words of the Holy Emperor Warrior, he didn't react for a moment until Ye Qifeng reminded him.
The main problem was that the Holy Emperor Warrior's address of "Miss Liu" made her momentarily unaware that he was referring to her.
The Holy Soul Warrior in front of them was a Soul Emperor, about thirty years old, about ten years younger than Liu Erlong.
Logically speaking, calling someone "senior" would be perfectly appropriate, but the other party addressed her as "Miss Liu," which meant they considered her to be of Ye Qifeng's generation and were addressing her as someone much younger.
"This Holy Emperor Warrior is quite shrewd!" Liu Erlong thought to herself with secret delight. She inexplicably felt the distance between herself and Ye Qifeng shrink considerably, a smile playing on her lips. Then, remembering the Holy Emperor Warrior's message, she asked in a gentle voice:
"By the way, what was the name of the person you said wanted to see me outside?"
The Holy Emperor Warrior was unaware that his polite address had secretly pleased Liu Erlong. Upon hearing the question, he immediately answered truthfully:
"Miss Liu, he said his name is Flander. You'll know who he is as soon as you hear that name."
"So it's Boss Fu." Liu Erlong suddenly realized, and was even happier. After all, they were old friends. The iron triangle that used to call each other brother and sister still had a good relationship.
"Xiao Feng, Flander has come to see me at this hour, I'm afraid he has something to discuss. I'll go see him."
Upon hearing that it was Flander who had come to find her, Liu Erlong immediately turned to Ye Qifeng and said something.
Seeing Ye Qifeng nod, he got up and followed the Holy Emperor Warrior who came to announce the arrival out of the camp to meet Flander at the gate.
With Liu Erlong gone, only Jiangzhu was left by Ye Qifeng's side, which made her extremely nervous, her little face flushed.
To ease Jiangzhu's tension, Ye Qifeng had no choice but to ramble on and give her pointers on cultivation.
…………
Outside the camp gate.
A middle-aged man with a long, narrow face, resembling an owl, a full beard, black-rimmed glasses, and a somewhat rigid expression, was pacing back and forth, his eyes fixed on the camp, as if expecting something.
"Hahaha, Flander, what brings you here to find me?"
Before he arrived, his voice preceded his arrival; Liu Erlong's clear and cheerful voice had already reached the air.
Before long, a beautiful woman wearing a black leather Soul Master robe, with a voluptuous, curvaceous, and perfect figure, exquisite and captivating features, and picturesque eyebrows walked out of the camp gate.
"Er Er Long?"
Upon hearing the familiar voice, Flander was overjoyed and immediately stopped his wandering steps. However, when he saw Liu Erlong's figure, he couldn't help but freeze in surprise.
"If it wasn't me, who else could it be?"
Liu Erlong approached Flander, casually tucked a strand of her smooth hair behind her ear, and chuckled.
She was never so reserved in front of her old friends, and quickly regained her usual cheerful personality, while also secretly concealing her Soul Douluo-level soul power aura.
Of course, this was all to avoid putting too much pressure on Flander.
"Erlong, you...you seem even younger."
Looking at Liu Erlong's figure, Flander felt a mix of emotions, especially when he saw her young face, which was only in her early twenties. He felt both happy and a little lonely.
Liu Erlong grew younger with age, while he looked older and older, and the gap between them seemed to be widening, and they were drifting further and further apart.
"Uh, this is because of the increase in cultivation level, you don't need to worry about it."
Upon hearing Flander's words, Liu Erlong's tone faltered slightly. While soul power could be concealed, appearance could not be altered. A single glance was enough to tell that her cultivation had reached a level unattainable by many.
Flanders, upon seeing this, couldn't help but feel moved.
"Flander, what are you staring at?"
Seeing that Flander was standing there speechless, Liu Erlong couldn't help but raise her hand and wave it in front of him twice.
Flander then came to his senses, only to hear Liu Erlong ask again:
"By the way, what brings you all the way here to see me?"
Flander quickly explained his purpose and recounted to Liu Erlong what Yu Xiaogang had told him.
In an effort to ease the tension between Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong, Flander deliberately embellished his words, saying many good things about Yu Xiaogang.
