The Silver Dragon King raised an eyebrow. From the guards' words, it was clear that Ning Bei had brought back more than one woman.
"You brought back quite a few, didn't you?"
"Not really. One is someone I've known since childhood, a childhood sweetheart. The other is the successor of the Angel God."
"Angel God?"
Indeed, upon hearing about another deity, the Silver Dragon King quickly dropped her teasing expression, a hint of interest appearing in her eyes.
"Yes, the Angel God is also a human who condensed the continent's destiny a thousand years ago and created their own divine position. And my wife is her descendant."
"Oh? This makes me even more curious about humans. In just a thousand years, two people have become gods through their own power."
Ning Bei smiled and didn't continue the conversation. The two smoothly entered the sect and arrived at the council hall. Having not received any news from that girl Ning Rongrong for two years, Sword and Bone, upon hearing of Ning Bei's return, also rushed over immediately.
Seeing a woman with an extraordinary temperament accompanying Ning Bei, the three immediately looked back and forth between Ning Bei and Gu Yue with the same gaze, occasionally winking at him, the teasing meaning self-evident, making Ning Bei feel a wave of helplessness.
Chen Xin and Ning Fengzhi still maintained their status as elders and had no intention of teasing, but the disrespectful Gu Rong had no such reservations. He grinned and said:
"Did you bring back another granddaughter-in-law for this old man? Do that Angel doll and the little poison girl know?"
Ning Bei wiped sweat from his brow and glanced at the Silver Dragon King beside him, noticing that her beautiful eyes had narrowed slightly. He inwardly thought, This is bad.
As expected, the next moment, an aura like that from the abyss and the primordial wilderness locked onto Gu Rong, instantly making him feel as if he were facing a formidable enemy.
"A Level 97 Titled Douluo, not very strong but quite arrogant. You want to be this sovereign's grandfather?"
"This sovereign can crush a hundred like you with a flick of a hand. Do you want to be the hundred and first?"
The Silver Dragon King's intimidating power also made Chen Xin and Ning Fengzhi tense up, their eyes constantly exchanging glances with Ning Bei, as if asking, Where did this great Buddha come from?
Compared to Chen Xin and Ning Fengzhi, who only felt a portion of the residual power, Gu Rong, who bore the full pressure, appeared even more terrified, his spirit power surging behind him, ready to enter Spirit Avatar state at any moment.
"W-who are you, Your Excellency?"
Just as the atmosphere was becoming tense, Ning Bei raised his hand and placed it on Gu Yue's exposed jade shoulder, shaking his head at her as she looked back.
The next moment, the terrifying aura instantly dissipated, causing the three to secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
Ning Bei sent an inquiring look towards the Silver Dragon King, and she merely shrugged, indicating it was up to him.
Having received her permission, Ning Bei began to introduce Gu Yue's identity.
"Father, and both grandfathers, do you still remember the master of the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest that I mentioned to you before?"
After a moment of thought, Ning Fengzhi seemed to remember something, his gaze filled with a hint of surprise as he asked:
"Are you talking about the Silver Dragon King with over a million years of cultivation?"
Ning Bei nodded and pointed to Gu Yue beside him.
"That's right, this is Senior Silver Dragon King. Of course, you can also call her Gu Yue, that's her name in human form."
"She really is a female dragon! Uh..."
Gu Rong exclaimed, then immediately covered his mouth, giving Gu Yue a sheepish smile in the face of her icy gaze.
Chen Xin, beside him, also gave his old friend a sarcastic look, the meaning self-evident: Look at that mouth of yours, if you don't want it, you can donate it!
Ning Fengzhi, however, quickly displayed the demeanor of a sect master, rising and cupping his hands towards Gu Yue.
"Fengzhi represents the sect in welcoming Senior Gu Yue as a guest. I also want to thank you for your help to my son many years ago."
"No need to be so polite. He helped me more. If we're being honest, I owe him a favor."
Facing Ning Fengzhi's politeness, the Silver Dragon King still shook her head expressionlessly, indicating that she had only given him a few Soul Bones she didn't need, which was nothing significant.
Seeing that the Silver Dragon King didn't have much desire to interact with his elders, Ning Bei immediately greeted the three.
"I'll arrange a room for Ah Yue first. I'll tell you about that girl Rongrong's situation when I get back."
As soon as the address "Ah Yue" came out, Ning Fengzhi, Sword, and Bone all froze for a moment, subtly glancing at Gu Yue. Seeing that she didn't show any displeasure, they slightly relaxed, especially Gu Rong, who inwardly thought, Different people, different fates.
"Okay, you go arrange for Senior Gu to rest first. We'll wait for you."
After arranging a room for the Silver Dragon King not far from his own residence, Ning Bei gave her an apologetic smile before leaving.
"They are all my elders, and they are used to speaking casually. Please don't mind it."
"It's fine. After that just now, they will be more careful with their words in the future."
"Uh..."
Wiping away the non-existent sweat from his forehead, Ning Bei inwardly thought, So that was her plan. He thought the big female dragon was really angry.
"That's good. You rest for a while. I'll be back after I explain things to my father and the others."
"Okay."
Returning to the council hall, the three quickly surrounded Ning Bei and began asking questions one after another.
"How has that girl Rongrong been lately?"
"How many assessments has she completed?"
"Why did that Silver Dragon King come back with you?"
Ning Bei rubbed his aching head, overwhelmed by so many questions and unsure where to start.
"Alright, alright, let's talk about things one by one. First, Rongrong and the others are doing very well. They have already completed four trials and have begun the fifth."
"Also, the Silver Dragon King hadn't left the Star Dou Great Forest for ten thousand years due to her injuries. It was my elixirs that helped her recover. Now she's come to the continent to take a look. Since she only knows me among humans, she's temporarily staying with me."
With Ning Bei revealing everything they wanted to know, the expressions of the three softened.
"So that's how it is. It seems we underestimated Rongrong. It's been almost four years, and that girl hasn't even clamored to come back."
"That's right. We thought that girl wouldn't be able to last long."
Ning Bei's lips curved into a smile. He naturally understood their thoughts, but who could blame the little girl when everyone around her was a top performer among their peers? If everyone else could persevere and she gave up, wouldn't she lose face?
However, it was a bit pitiful that the little girl had worked so hard, gritting her teeth to complete the trials, only for none of her loved ones to have faith in her. Thinking of this, Ning Bei decided to say a few words of fairness for Ning Rongrong.
"When Rongrong comes back next time, she'll give you a big surprise. You should know that when I went there this time, the little girl had already become a quasi-Soul Sage, and the kind who is about to possess a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Ring."
"Oh?"
As expected, upon hearing Ning Bei mention the little girl's current strength, all three of them's eyes lit up, and they immediately revealed relieved smiles.
"Good, good. We'll wait for Rongrong to come back and shock our two old bones."
"It's not far off. Maybe by then, Father's title of Nine Treasures Douluo will change hands."
"Hahaha, as long as that girl wants it, she can take it anytime."
Having broken through the Martial Soul shackles to become a Titled Douluo himself, and with each of his direct descendants being like dragons, Ning Fengzhi could be said to be immensely satisfied. As a Sect Master and a father, there was no one more successful than him.
