If Heavenly Sword Douluo and Purple Star Douluo were still holding on to their pride as Titled Douluos before, they had now been completely subdued.
The look of apprehension they had when looking at Empress Bing had now turned into one of fear and terror.
A hard crowd control in one move!
If Empress Bing hadn't voluntarily released them, they would have been completely unable to break free from her Emperor's Fury. What did this mean? It meant that Empress Bing could kill them without even breaking a sweat!
At this moment, the two high and mighty Titled Douluos felt as if they were back to the time when they had just awakened their martial spirits and were looking at great figures at the level of Soul Emperors and Soul Sages. It was a deep sense of powerlessness and suffocation!
Don't ask why it was only Soul Emperors and Soul Sages; at that time, they weren't worthy of meeting powerhouses of seven rings or more.
Looking at the two Titled Douluos who had become cowards in an instant, Lin Yun grinned. "You two old fogies, can you fight very well? What's the use of fighting well? When you're out and about, you need power and background!"
"Do you know who I am, to dare to cause trouble in front of me?"
The two old fogies' faces turned pale, and at the same time, their body temperatures rose. They wished they could immediately find a bathtub to cool down. But when they glanced at the cold Empress Bing standing behind Lin Yun, their anger was doused by a bucket of ice water, chilling them to the core.
The threat of death finally made the two old fogies bow their heads.
"Sect Master, I'll take my leave first. If you need anything, just call me again." Heavenly Sword Douluo was the first to make an escape. Purple Star Douluo saw his old brother running away, and after muttering "me too," he also left dejectedly.
The two old fogies had been slapped hard in the face this time. Although her sect's top-tier combat power was so humiliated, Ning Zhirou, as the sect master, should have felt ashamed and angry, but she didn't feel that way at all.
Heavenly Sword Douluo and Purple Star Douluo were not like Sword and Bone Douluo from ten thousand years ago. Sword and Bone Douluo truly treated the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect as their home and were not at all unwilling to die for it in the end.
But these two old fogies, to put it nicely, were the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect's protector Titled Douluos, but to put it bluntly, they were just guest elders.
What did it mean to be a guest elder?
It meant that when there was an irresistible threat, they would be the first to run away!
The only reason they were still in the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect was that they wanted to retire there. Anyway, the sect wouldn't face any life-and-death enemies, so their joining was a pure leeching.
The reason they jumped out this time and got slapped by Empress Bing wasn't because they cared about the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, but because they felt their pride as Titled Douluos was humiliated, and they came out to get a sense of presence.
Now that they were scared, they would definitely leave in a second.
Is it awkward?
It is.
But this was the current situation of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. If it weren't for this, how could Ning Tian, the young mistress of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, have personally gone out to find an arm for the sect's future?
It was completely unnecessary.
Under this premise, it was not strange for Ning Zhirou to have these thoughts. In fact, she often worried that her vast foundation in the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect would be usurped by these two Titled Douluos.
After all, the example of the Tang Sect was right in front of her...
Ning Zhirou was well aware of the Tang Sect's extinction just a few years ago. Even their sect's headquarters were taken over by an unknown small sect, and only a little girl managed to escape.
How could this not make Ning Zhirou vigilant?
She also wanted to find a way out for the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect! Hehe, it was the wealthiest sect on the continent, but if it didn't have enough strength, all that wealth was just a bank for the strong to take at will!
Ning Zhirou really wanted to find a backer for the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect!
For the continuation of the sect, she could sacrifice her face and dignity, and also everything the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect had.
But it has to be said that Ning Zhirou's "sense of crisis" actually gave Lin Yun a greater opportunity to subdue the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, but he didn't know it yet.
"Hehe, Sect Master Ning, since the two clowns are done with their performance, shall we go inside and talk in detail?" Lin Yun said with a light laugh.
"Of course. Please follow me, Your Excellency, so that I may fulfill my duties as a hostess~" Ning Zhirou smiled faintly, gracefully leading the way. Her plump and graceful figure really made Lin Yun once again experience the temptation of a mature beautiful woman and the difficulty of a certain Emperor Cao.
It was a good thing Lin Yun didn't have the style of Wei Wu; otherwise, with his wicked smile, life would have been unpredictable.
(A certain Mr. Cao: See? My aesthetic is thousands of years ahead of its time!)
Soon, under Ning Zhirou's guidance, Lin Yun and Empress Bing walked one after the other into a quiet and elegant courtyard. In a pavilion in the courtyard, a pot of clear tea was steaming, looking as if it had been brewed there for a while. She hadn't planned on discussing the Glazed Jade Tea and the alliance in the main hall of the sect; instead, she had planned on discussing it in private.
Next to the tea table, Ning Tian, dressed in an elegant ruqun, was skillfully brewing tea. Her smooth and practiced movements showed that she had been immersed in this for several years.
Lin Yun once asked Ning Tian what she liked to do most.
Ning Tian replied that as the young mistress of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, most of her time was spent on cultivation and becoming a qualified young mistress. Drinking and brewing tea was her only hobby outside of cultivation.
Watching Ning Tian brew tea in person was indeed a pleasant sight. The sense of nobility and elegance radiated from her, which was clearly different from a brute and cunning person like Lin Yun.
However, Lin Yun didn't care. He didn't need to maintain any image. He had already transmigrated once. How tiring would it be to live with a mask on?
After all...
Who would dare to say anything bad about the Golden Dragon King?!
Lin Yun smiled faintly, and after sighing about his easy and happy life, he sat down at the tea table without waiting for Ning Zhirou to speak.
Empress Bing was an exemplary bodyguard and maid. She didn't let their personal relationship get in the way. When Lin Yun sat down, she stood behind him like a guard.
She didn't have to do this.
Lin Yun waited for a long time and still didn't see Empress Bing sit down. When he turned back, he saw the stubborn little loli standing there with her arms crossed. One could only say that she was truly a straightforward soul beast who knew her place and status too well.
Lin Yun smiled helplessly, grabbed Empress Bing's small hand, and pressed her to sit beside him. Then, he turned to look at Ning Zhirou and said with a half-smile, "Are you sure you want to talk like this?"
"If only you were here, and the conversation didn't go well, only you would die. But if Ning Tian is also here and the conversation doesn't go well, there will be no need for your Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect to exist anymore."
