As soon as Lin Yun said this, not only Ning Tian but even Ning Zhirou was startled.
What? The first thing he says is about killing and exterminating the sect. Ning Zhirou's heart leaped into her throat. Could it be that her decision this time was not to drive out a tiger but to invite one in instead?
With a heart full of trepidation, Ning Zhirou tentatively asked, "What do you mean, Your Excellency?"
"Am I not clear enough?" Lin Yun leaned back in his chair and snapped his fingers. Empress Bing then waved her hand and created a barrier that enveloped the entire courtyard, ensuring that no one could hear the conversation of the people inside.
"Brother Yun..." Ning Tian's eyes were red, and her tone was a little urgent as she spoke.
But before she could finish, Lin Yun raised his hand to stop her.
"Sect Master Ning, although I have only been at the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect for a few minutes, from what I can see, your days don't seem to be very good, do they?" Lin Yun rested his elbow on the back of the chair, cupped his chin with his hand, and looked at Ning Zhirou with a half-smile.
"Those two, your so-called protector Titled Douluos, have caused you a lot of headaches, haven't they? Your top-tier combat power has a divided loyalty, and your younger generation is disconnected. It seems that the situation of your Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect is not as beautiful as it seems, is it?"
Ning Zhirou remained silent and didn't respond. The problems that Lin Yun could see at a glance, she, as the sect master, knew even more. But she didn't know the reason for Lin Yun's words or his purpose.
The main reason was that his previous words had scared Ning Zhirou. If it were just her, if the conversation didn't go well, only she would die. But if Ning Tian was also here, if the conversation didn't go well, the entire Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect would die with them...
Ning Zhirou's eyes glanced at Empress Bing, who was like a little maid beside Lin Yun, and she groaned inwardly.
Such a powerhouse was so respectful to Lin Yun. Even though their relationship didn't seem simple, this super powerhouse who could easily wipe out her entire Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect listened to Lin Yun obediently and did not overstep in either her words or actions.
As a sect master, Ning Zhirou was very clear about what this meant.
It meant absolute authority and the ability to make a super powerhouse willingly serve him. Ning Zhirou had a good eye. With just one brief action, Empress Bing was at least a level 98 Super Douluo.
Even a powerhouse like her... Ning Zhirou didn't dare to imagine how strong the force behind Lin Yun was.
At this moment, she didn't even have time to think about why such a powerful force had never appeared in the ten-thousand-year history of the Douluo Continent.
She was more concerned about how much help the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect would get if the conversation went well. With the support of the force behind Lin Yun, would she still have to constantly be on guard against those two old guys?
Absolutely not!
Seeing Ning Zhirou silently pondering, Lin Yun wasn't in a hurry to urge her. Instead, he raised an eyebrow at Ning Tian, motioning for her to pour him a cup of tea.
Lin Yun's subtle expression also calmed Ning Tian down. She pouted helplessly. Since he was giving her such a look, Ning Tian knew that Lin Yun was deliberately trying to scare her mother and had no intention of exterminating the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect at all.
But how could he scare people by threatening to exterminate their sect!
Ning Tian was a little resentful, but her body was very honest as she poured a cup of tea for Lin Yun.
After all, she was a little different from the other lovestruck people from the "Unrivaled Tang Sect" era. If it were any other lovestruck person, they would probably be thinking about how to sell out the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect at this moment, but although Ning Tian wouldn't expose Lin Yun's plan, she would still harbor a little resentment in her heart.
And in the following negotiations, she would not sell out the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect because of her relationship with Lin Yun. She would definitely fight for more benefits for her sect.
What makes a qualified young mistress?
Putting her sect first at all times is what makes a qualified young mistress!
The sound of the teacup being placed on the table after a sip of tea announced the end of Ning Zhirou's contemplation.
After weighing the pros and cons... Ning Zhirou decided to go all-in!
Yes, all in!
The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect had undoubtedly come to a fork in the road. Ten thousand years ago, Shrek Academy seized this opportunity to soar to the heavens and rule the Douluo Continent for ten thousand years in an unconventional way. Ning Zhirou had a sharp sense that this might also be an opportunity for their Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect!
This was a woman's sixth sense!
During the last turning point, their Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect also took off, but they didn't get the most benefits; instead, they suffered almost an unacceptable loss.
And this time, if they seize the opportunity, maybe the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect can truly soar to the heavens!
But before that, there was one thing she needed to confirm.
"Your Excellency, do your words mean that you intend to share a secret with me? A secret that only insiders can know?" Ning Zhirou asked with a light smile.
Threatening to exterminate the sect if the conversation didn't go well!
Anyone who wasn't a fool could understand the meaning behind Lin Yun's words. It meant that the force behind Lin Yun couldn't openly stand in front of the world. To cooperate with the force behind him, they had to be prepared to keep a secret.
And since they were going to start negotiating, the forces behind both sides would have to be revealed. If Ning Zhirou knew about the force behind Lin Yun and they couldn't cooperate, then killing her would naturally be the best option.
"A force that needs me to keep a secret, a force that cannot appear openly in front of the world..." Ning Zhirou murmured in a low voice, her pale hands tightly gripping her skirt, and her body even trembled slightly.
"Your Excellency... you... are you a member of the soul beast side? Is this powerhouse beside you also a super Fierce Beast?"
Ning Zhirou's inaudible words were like a thunderous roar in Ning Tian's ears. The young girl's beautiful eyes widened in disbelief as she looked at Lin Yun.
"Are you truly worthy of being the Sect Master of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect? Your mind is indeed very sharp, being able to figure this out with just a few clues," Lin Yun nodded noncommittally, then sneered, "Unfortunately, smart people generally don't live for too long, especially when their strength doesn't match their intelligence!"
Lin Yun didn't deny it, which proved that Ning Zhirou's guess was correct. Ning Tian felt as if the sky had collapsed, and she sat down on the ground, her expression devastated.
Heaven knows how shocking it was to hear that the person she liked was a human-form soul beast.
(Tang Hao & Tang San: What? My wife/lover is a hundred-thousand-year-old human-form soul beast? There's such a good thing?)
Seeing Lin Yun's indirect admission, Ning Zhirou's trembling body oddly calmed down. When it really came down to it, she found that she didn't find it so hard to accept.
"That's right. Allow me to re-introduce myself. I am the co-lord of the soul beasts, the Golden Dragon King!"
