"Young Sect Master (Rongrong)…"
Ning Rongrong's sudden appearance startled everyone present.
"Girl, when did you get there?"
Looking at Ning Rongrong walking over, Ning Fengzhi asked with some curiosity.
"Just now, when Pavilion Master Lou Gao mentioned going to Vast Sea City."
"Is that so…"
Ning Fengzhi nodded, not asking further.
He looked his daughter up and down.
Compared to a year ago.
Ning Rongrong had grown taller, her hair completely turned pink.
Paired with her charming face and the slightly budding curves at her chest, she gave off a very cute vibe.
At this moment, Ning Fengzhi felt a sense of fatherly pride, as if his daughter had just grown up.
"I just came out of seclusion, so how about I go with Senior Lou Gao to Vast Sea City?"
Ning Rongrong wrapped her arms around Ning Fengzhi's neck, giggling.
Hmm, with just a bit of force.
She could successfully ascend to Sect Master.
Fortunately, Ning Fengzhi didn't know what Ning Rongrong was thinking. Regarding her words, he thought for a moment and said, "No problem with that? It might involve Bo Saixi over there."
To be honest, Ning Fengzhi wasn't clear about his daughter's strength.
Every time, Ning Rongrong gave him the feeling that her strength was just enough, neither too much nor too little, perfectly suitable.
"Pagoda Spirit… cough cough, Kurumi hasn't woken up yet."
"As for me, my strength is pretty decent," Ning Rongrong said matter-of-factly. "Even if I encounter the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, I should be able to escape safely with others."
"Of course, it might not be a hundred percent chance."
Ning Fengzhi: "…"
He always felt his daughter was showing off.
Eh, what's showing off?
Hearing Ning Rongrong mention it before, Ning Fengzhi suddenly thought of this term.
"Even if I agree, we need to hear Pavilion Master Lou Gao's opinion!"
"Maybe he thinks you're unreliable, girl!" Ning Fengzhi said, his gaze turning to Lou Gao sitting on the chair.
"I'd be delighted if Young Sect Master is willing to go with me," Lou Gao said, scratching his head honestly.
Others might not know Ning Rongrong's strength, but how could he not?
As one of the two pavilion masters brought back by Ning Rongrong.
Lou Gao was considered one of their own, and many things were shared with him by Ning Fengzhi and Ning Rongrong.
Although he didn't know what Ning Rongrong's two-and-a-half-year seclusion was for.
It was obvious her strength must have improved further.
Moreover, Ning Rongrong was quite knowledgeable and valued soul tools, so perhaps they could exchange some ideas.
After all, a certain Young Sect Master was often elusive, like a dragon seen only briefly.
Except for important matters, she was basically nowhere to be found.
"Then I'll trouble Pavilion Master Lou Gao to look after this girl," Ning Fengzhi said, lifting Ning Rongrong and placing her in front of Lou Gao.
"Don't cause trouble for others; they can't handle the messes you make!"
"I know, I know," Ning Rongrong said with a face full of dark lines.
Where did Ning Fengzhi learn this nagging motherly personality?
I, the grand young lady of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, the future Young Sect Master who can kick the old man down and take the Sect Master position, am I that unreliable?
No way!
I'm not some sect master who likes cat girls but refuses to reveal his name.
"The time is about a month from now, so handle it yourself." Ning Fengzhi handed the letter to Ning Rongrong, who scanned it and read the contents with her mental power.
"Rongrong, when you go, can you take Sister Yan with you?"
Dugu Bo's voice came over.
Ning Rongrong paused for a moment: "Did something happen to her?"
"No," Dugu Bo sighed upon hearing this. "It's just that these past two and a half years, she's been recklessly taking pills and cultivating like crazy. I'm worried her body can't take it."
Although Ning Rongrong had previously said that her granddaughter wouldn't have any more accidents.
Dugu Bo had advised her many times, but Dugu Yan felt she was too weak.
She couldn't help Ning Rongrong at all.
Moreover, Ning Rongrong had done so much for her.
"Is that so…"
Thinking of Dugu Yan's personality, Ning Rongrong roughly understood the situation.
"Then what's Sister Yan's soul power level now?"
"She just reached level 77 a couple of days ago."
"Uh… that's fast."
The cultivation speed of the Misfortune Poison Body was very fast, plus with the abundant resources of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
It was normal for Dugu Yan to cultivate quickly. Improving 8 levels in over two years, averaging one level every three months or so, and at the Soul Sage rank, no less.
"What about Senior Lou Gao's opinion?" Ning Rongrong still needed to ask Lou Gao's opinion; after all, she couldn't be too dictatorial. It'd be troublesome if they didn't get along.
"No problem! Since it's His Excellency Dugu's request, I have no objections," Lou Gao said.
"Then it's settled. Sister Yan and I will accompany Senior Lou Gao to Vast Sea City." Saying this, Ning Rongrong looked at the letter in her hand.
"Hm, a month from now, there's still time."
Thus, a not-so-major meeting came to an end.
Everyone could see that Ning Rongrong, who had been in seclusion for so long, had things to discuss with Ning Fengzhi, so even Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo left.
Ning Rongrong followed Ning Fengzhi alone to the bedroom.
Of course, it wasn't some dubious plot.
"Rongrong, there's something I need to tell you," Ning Fengzhi sat on a grand chair nearby, his tone carrying a slight sigh.
"What's wrong?" Ning Rongrong was a bit curious.
"About Star Dou Great Forest…" Ning Fengzhi hesitated, "About half a year ago, Di Tian secretly came to the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to ask about your situation."
"I only told him you were in seclusion."
"And then…" At this point, Ning Fengzhi paused slightly, "Di Tian hoped you could visit Star Dou Great Forest when you have time."
"Was it Di Tian or the Silver Dragon King's opinion?" Ning Rongrong frowned. "What's the purpose? Did he say anything when he came?"
"I asked about that," Ning Fengzhi said. "He said it involves the body crafted by the Heart of Poseidon."
"I didn't quite understand him. Rongrong, do you get it?"
"Hm, I roughly understand," Ning Rongrong nodded. "The body Gu Yuena used before was made from the Heart of Poseidon and the energies of the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well."
"It's probably that the body can't be used anymore."
"The Silver Dragon King is willing to give you that body but hopes you can go to Star Dou Great Forest." Ning Fengzhi placed his hands together on the table. "Personally, I don't recommend you go to such a dangerous place."
He knew his advice was likely useless, but as a father, Ning Fengzhi still didn't want Ning Rongrong to take risks.
"I'm actually quite interested in her puppet body," Ning Rongrong smiled. "Dad, don't worry. Even if Kurumi is still asleep, I'm not that easy to catch."
"Sigh, you've grown up, and I can't control you anymore," Ning Fengzhi saw Ning Rongrong's expression and knew his words were futile. He sighed, "Anyway, be careful."
"Hm…" Ning Rongrong nodded. "After this matter with Lou Gao is over, I'll think about it. Speaking of which, what's going on with the Star Luo Empire and Xue Qinghe?"
The letter earlier mentioned the new emperor of the Star Luo Empire and Xue Qinghe's fall.
"Sigh, I also feel there's a conspiracy," Ning Fengzhi sighed deeply. "Qian Renxue probably isn't dead, otherwise Spirit Hall wouldn't be so quiet."
"But the deaths of the former Star Luo Emperor and Empress weren't our doing!"
"Hm, any clues?"
"None," Ning Fengzhi said. "The only clue would be Zhu Zhuqing. She was originally Dai Mubai's fiancée. After Dai Mubai's death, she disappeared, and then she became Davis's Empress."
"Hm?" Ning Rongrong pinched her chin thoughtfully. "What about Zhu Zhuyun? Has her whereabouts been investigated?"
"Zhu Zhuyun, it's said she was divorced by Davis… She hasn't appeared in public for years."
"So that's how it is!" Ning Rongrong roughly pieced together the situation.
After briefly discussing the events of the past two and a half years with Ning Fengzhi.
Ning Rongrong closed the door and left.
A month later, there was still the game in Vast Sea City.
She needed to prepare a bit.
Hm, it's been years since she saw that carefree big brother; who knows if he's been having too much fun in Vast Sea City.
As the Young Sect Master of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, she had to properly supervise the conduct of the sect's disciples. That's the right way.
