Chapter 126: A Different Event.
"Interesting."
Ning Fengzhi's lips curled slightly at Xuan Mo's words, his interest piqued. And before Gu Rong could even speak, Ning Fengzhi accepted.
But before Xuan Mo could rejoice, Ning Fengzhi spoke again, "However, Xiao Mo, since I've accepted your agreement, I do have two requests."
Upon hearing this, Xuan Mo looked into Ning Fengzhi's smiling eyes and couldn't help but think, "It's not easy for anyone to become the Sect Master. You're such a fox."
"Uncle Ning, the agreement I just proposed doesn't disadvantage you in any way. On the contrary, it seems like I'm at a disadvantage."
Ning Fengzhi picked up the teacup beside him and took a sip calmly. "Xiao Mo, that's not the case. Your agreement involves the interests of our Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect."
Xuan Mo couldn't help but curse inwardly. What interests did the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect have? It was just a cooperation. However, if Shrek Academy wanted to develop, it would still need the support of some powerful forces in the early stages. Given the current situation, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect was the best choice, so Ning Fengzhi couldn't refuse his request.
"Since that's the case, please speak frankly, Uncle Ning."
"Okay." Ning Fengzhi slowly put down his teacup and looked at Xuan Mo. "I have two requests. The first is from my own selfish perspective as a father. If you and Rongrong end up together in the future, she must not suffer any injustice."
"Of course," Xuan Mo said without hesitation. After all, he and Ning Rongrong were a perfect match. He wouldn't let her suffer even the slightest injustice now, let alone in the future.
"Okay. As for the second point, I'm speaking with you from the position of the Sect Master of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, and I'm speaking with you out of impartiality."
After receiving Xuan Mo's response, Ning Fengzhi made his second request. "I want you to help the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect to the best of your ability. That is, for the next thirty years after you become a Titled Douluo, you must uphold your principles and protect the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect with all your strength. How do you do that?"
Xuan Mo agreed without hesitation.
This final point from Ning Fengzhi was completely within his reach.
"In that case, we'll be leaving first."
Ning Fengzhi didn't stay any longer after receiving Xuan Mo's response. He still had many matters waiting for him to attend to within the sect, so he had to return as soon as possible.
"Uncle Ning, Senior Gu, take care."
Just as Xuan Mo was saying goodbye to Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong, Gu Rong walked over to Xuan Mo and whispered, "Boy, don't think that's it. If you want to marry Rongrong, you'll have to get past me and Old Man Jian first. Otherwise, hmph! Forget it."
Xuan Mo didn't say anything. After all, in his opinion, if he wanted to marry Ning Rongrong, he would definitely have to get past Gu Rong and Chen Xin. This was perfectly normal.
After Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong left the room, Gu Rong was the first to frown and ask, "Fengzhi, why did you so impulsively agree to that kid's offer?"
Ning Fengzhi smiled and said, "Uncle Gu, think about it carefully. As of now, what is Shrek Academy like?"
Gu Rong frowned and thought for a moment, "This Shrek Academy is indeed good. Not counting Tang San, Rongrong, and this kid, the others are all geniuses. But being number one in the entire continent, haha! I wanted to laugh that day. It's simply impossible. Not to mention their limited foundation, they can't even climb over the mountain that is the Spirit Hall."
"That's exactly what I'm saying."
Ning Fengzhi nodded slightly. "Uncle Gu, as the Sect Master of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, everything I do is for the sake of the sect. So, think about it, since that's impossible, then our Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect will eventually welcome a powerful Titled Douluo." Ning Fengzhi paused. "And even if we lose this agreement, if we collaborate with the continent's premier high-level spirit master academy, wouldn't the spirit masters that graduate from that academy be ours?"
After hearing Ning Fengzhi's words, Gu Rong suddenly realized and murmured, "If that's the way it works, it seems like we're both on the right track."
Then, looking at Ning Fengzhi, Gu Rong said, "What about Rongrong..."
Ning Fengzhi smiled calmly and said, "That's why I made those two requests. No matter what you and Uncle Jian do, this kid will end up tied to Rongrong. He's ambitious, and with his talent, he's bound to achieve great things. This would be the best option for both Rongrong and the sect."
"Honestly, I'm really looking forward to seeing what he'll show us in the next few days..."
Meanwhile, Xuan Mo, having watched Ning Fengzhi leave, was about to return to the dormitory. As he walked out the back door of the teaching building, he found Ning Rongrong waiting for him.
"Rongrong, why are you here?"
"Hehe, the dean asked me to come here to find you. He guessed you'd be back at the dorm, so he told me to wait by the back door."
Ning Rongrong said, stepping forward to take Xuan Mo's arm. She then looked him up and down, asking worriedly, "Are you okay? My dad and Grandpa Gu haven't given you any trouble, have they?"
"Don't worry," Xuan Mo ruffled Ning Rongrong's hair. "Do you think Uncle Ning and Senior Gu Douluo will do anything to me?"
"That's good," Ning Rongrong muttered, waving her clenched fist. "If Grandpa Gu dares to bully you, I'll pull out all his hair to vent your anger."
Xuan Mo simply smiled and said nothing.
"By the way, Rongrong. Why does the dean want to see me?" Xuan Mo asked as the two of them were walking towards the dean's office.
"It's not just you. They called all eight of us over. To be precise, except for you, everyone else is already here. As for what happened, it is said to be related to the fact that the dean and others have been away from the academy for the past few days. As for the specific matter, we can only tell you after everyone is here."
"Oh!?"
Xuan Mo raised his eyebrows, because in his memory, it seemed that this scene did not appear in the original book. Could it be that so many years have passed and his memory is confused?
However, he did not care too much, as long as it did not involve his personal interests and there were no major changes. After all, this is a real world, and it is normal to have some discrepancies in small matters.
After arriving at the dean's office, Ma Hongjun and others immediately turned their attention to Xuan Mo.
"Brother Mo, you are here."
"Yeah." Xuan Mo nodded slightly, as a response to Ma Hongjun. But soon, he looked over to the side, pointed at Oscar, who looked excited, and asked softly, "What's wrong with Xiao Ao?"
Before Ma Hongjun could reply, Ning Rongrong, who was holding Xuan Mo's arm, chuckled, "Xiao Ao is 'jealous'."
Xuan Mo was stunned for a moment, "What do you mean?"
"Xiao Ao knows that Third Brother has made a fortune. Third Brother sold my father 500 sets of hidden weapons for a whopping 5 million gold soul coins."
He gestured to Oscar.
"Now he's calling for the landlords to be beaten and the land to be divided. He wants to give Third Brother a good beating."
Just then, "Ahem!"
Flanders coughed, interrupting everyone's conversation. Seeing everyone looking over, he said, "Well, I called you here today because it's related to our absence..."
