The award ceremony was proceeding smoothly, and excellent disciples from some smaller Sects also received certain rewards.
At this moment, a disciple from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect nervously approached Sect Master Ning and whispered a few words into his ear, causing Sect Master Ning's expression to change instantly.
He stood up and said a few words to Sword Douluo behind him, and Sword Douluo's expression also changed.
Afterward, Sect Master Ning cupped his fists and said, "Everyone, I have some urgent matters to attend to. Rongrong, please help me entertain everyone."
Ning Rongrong was stunned for a moment; it was clear that something had happened, otherwise her father would not be so anxious. As the daughter of the Sect Master, it was only right for her to handle some matters.
So she nodded and said, "Father, you go ahead. I will entertain everyone well."
"By the way, Sect Master Ning, what happened?" Liu Erlong of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan asked, puzzled.
Sect Master Ning smiled wryly and shook his head, then quickly departed.
Ning Rongrong then began to preside over the overall situation. At this time, the people from Spirit Hall and Clear Sky Sect had left, and there was no one to cause trouble, so the subsequent process was quite smooth.
Zhuge Lan, who was nearby, was also watching. Any clear-sighted person could tell that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had encountered a problem, but what specific problem it was, others were not clear.
He estimated that it should be related to Spirit Hall.
Now that Sect Master Ning had left, it was not convenient to ask.
At this ceremony, he was also looking for someone, and that was Leng Xiaoxue. Leng Xiaoxue's temperament made it very difficult for him to forget her, but he had not found her yet.
In the middle, there were also female disciples who came to give him flowers, which he then rejected under Ning Rongrong's murderous gaze.
This also made him feel a bit awkward.
After the meeting ended, a cute and beautiful female disciple from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect walked up from below and approached Ning Rongrong, saying discontentedly, "Sister Rongrong, you said that after we left the secret realm, Lei Yun would be mine. Where is Lei Yun?!"
"Well, I don't know either! Go find him yourself! If you find him, he's yours." Ning Rongrong said helplessly.
Zhuge Lan listened quietly from the side. Indeed, when it came to love, everyone was quite selfish. He was Lei Yun, how could Ning Rongrong not know? But he and Rongrong had been intimate, so he didn't dare to say much at this time.
At this moment, Xiao Ai looked at Zhuge Lan and asked, "Brother Zhuge Lan, have you seen Lei Yun?"
Before Zhuge Lan could speak, he felt a murderous gaze. Following the killing intent, he saw Ning Rongrong looking at him coldly. He sighed inwardly, knowing he couldn't tell her!
So he smiled awkwardly.
"I don't know either."
"Brother Zhuge Lan, don't you have many powerful search items? Can you search for him, please?" Xiao Ai began to act spoiled.
He found it hard to refuse a girl acting spoiled. If he were searching for someone else, he might actually do it, as helping Xiao Ai could earn him Emotions Points from her. But searching for himself would easily cause conflict with Ning Rongrong.
Moreover, his identity as Lei Yun could not be exposed, so he naturally couldn't help.
So he said helplessly, "Well, the items I have on hand are almost used up recently. I don't have any that can search. How about we talk about this later?"
"No, Brother Zhuge Lan, help me! I want my Brother Lei Yun." Xiao Ai hugged Zhuge Lan's arm and continued to act spoiled.
For a moment, Zhuge Lan's face showed an awkward expression, and he didn't know what to do.
Seeing this, Ning Rongrong quickly walked over, pulled Xiao Ai away, and said to Zhuge Lan, "Zhuge Lan, didn't I tell you to go handle an important matter? Why aren't you hurrying?"
Zhuge Lan was stunned for a moment, then quickly nodded and left.
Of course, Ning Rongrong hadn't prepared any task for him; leaving now was also to avoid getting entangled with Xiao Ai.
On the way, at a corner, he met Poison Douluo, who was waiting. Poison Douluo looked at him playfully.
"Zhuge Lan, your luck with women is really good. I wonder if Bai Chenxiang will resent you after she sees you."
"This, let's talk about it later!"
He laughed it off, no longer discussing the topic, but instead changed the subject.
"Sect Master Ning left in a hurry earlier. Do you know what happened?"
"I don't know! You can ask Ning Rongrong later." Poison Douluo said.
At this moment.
In a hidden ritual hall of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, dozens of Elders from within the Sect were seated, and Sect Master Ning was also there.
However, everyone's expressions were very grim, clearly having encountered something very bad.
Sect Master Ning frowned deeply and said seriously, "Elders, Spirit Hall is sweeping away our forces around the Star Dou Great Forest. What should we do next?"
"Is this true?" The First Elder, who was seated at the head, asked, puzzled.
"Hmph, why couldn't it be true? We previously defeated several Title Douluo from Spirit Hall, killing their momentum. Then, in the secret realm, all of Spirit Hall's disciples died in the secret realm, which is equivalent to starting a war with Spirit Hall. Isn't Spirit Hall's retaliation very normal?" The Second Elder said angrily.
Suddenly, the hall fell silent.
A sense of urgency spread throughout the hall, and some Elders also began to whisper.
"What should we do?! If we really fight Spirit Hall, our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's foundation isn't enough."
"How about we pretend not to know and let Spirit Hall vent their anger?"
"But since we are already enemies with Spirit Hall, we shouldn't harbor such wishful thinking. When it's time to fight, we should fight."
These Elders also expressed their opinions, with two main views: one was the dove faction, suggesting that Spirit Hall be allowed to clear the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's forces near the Star Dou Great Forest, and the Sect would pretend not to know. After Spirit Hall had vented, both sides would still have a chance to cooperate.
The other view was the hawk faction, which was that since they were already enemies with Spirit Hall, they should not have so many scruples and should fight when it was time to fight.
The two sides did not remain deadlocked; instead, the dove faction gained the upper hand, with most people suggesting that Spirit Hall be allowed to vent, and their side would just pretend not to know.
But the true decision-makers were the three Grand Elders on the main seats.
The First Elder pondered for a moment, then looked at Sect Master Ning and said, "As the Sect Master and the leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, tell us, what should we do?"
Sect Master Ning pondered. He was not yet mentally prepared to be in complete enmity with Spirit Hall, but for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's strongholds that were attacked, the strongholds could be lost, but the people inside must be brought back.
So, he said, "How about this, I'll go to the Star Dou Great Forest first to check the specific situation, bring back the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect disciples there, and negotiate with Spirit Hall."
