Upon hearing this, Chen Xin nodded slightly, his voice deep and metallic:
"Indeed, a rough gem. His temperament, methods, and talent are all top-notch. If allowed to grow, he will surely become a figure who stirs up the winds and clouds of the continent one day."
His gaze was like lightning, already having seen through Dongfang Jing's true nature: "The rising star who has recently gained some fame in Shui Lan City, the Great Soul Master with two thousand-year soul rings, is this boy. Since the old man is not here, Sect Master, should I capture him? Or directly..."
"Uncle Jian, no." Ning Fengzhi shook his head, his wise eyes revealing even more analysis:
"In my opinion, these two siblings must have suffered a family tragedy. Otherwise, how could they have been orphaned at such a young age and be left to fend for themselves? Children in such circumstances are often more mature and sensible than their peers."
He paused, then continued to speculate, "Although neither of us witnessed his battle against a higher-level opponent, according to reports from our sect's scouts, his composure and quick wit surpass even many seasoned adults.
If he knew how to conceal his appearance at the auction, how could he not know the astonishing nature of his two thousand-year soul rings? It's like a child carrying gold in a bustling marketplace."
Ning Fengzhi smiled knowingly, his tone becoming more certain: "But he still chose to expose himself. Why? I suspect the only explanation is for the little girl beside him."
His gaze deepened, filled with admiration and emotion.
"With his talent, he would definitely be sought after by all the major powers, including the Spirit Hall. But he didn't choose any side, and instead fought in the Great Spirit Arena to earn money.
It was to buy his sister a storage soul tool and the Spirit Awakening Method, to give her a better future.
The young man was willing to put himself in the eye of the storm, inviting the flames of countless covetous eyes to consume him! This selfless and all-consuming heart of protection, this deep brotherly affection, is truly moving."
Ning Fengzhi sighed softly, a sigh filled with emotion,and also with the slight touch of someone in a high position witnessing pure emotion.
"Such a temperament, such talent, and such loyalty and righteousness. If we force him, even if we use a secret technique, we will surely lose his heart. It's better to establish a good relationship and observe the situation calmly. Uncle Jian, you've traveled with me to various places these past years, and I believe you've already noticed that the Soul Master world on the continent has become somewhat too peaceful."
Chen Xin nodded: "Indeed, when you and I were young, visible and invisible struggles occurred everywhere, but in the last ten years, such struggles have almost disappeared. The calm before the storm? Heh, if my premonition is correct, I'm afraid the situation in the Soul Master world is about to change."
Ning Fengzhi's eyes flashed with a sharp light: "That's precisely why we must be even more cautious in every step we take. As for this child... perhaps in the future, he will bring unexpected surprises to my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, but he may also stand on the opposite side of us.
Let's secretly send disciples from our clan to follow him, so that we can keep track of his movements at any time. If we find anything unusual, we can deal with it in time."
After he finished speaking, the air was quiet for a moment.
Ning Fengzhi lowered his head in thought again, and asked, "Uncle Jian, do you think this so-called secret technique really exists?"
"Fengzhi, you mean..." Chen Xin raised an eyebrow, thought carefully, and then said, "Indeed, although that boy's first two spirit rings were both thousand years old, their age wasn't very high. If his physique is exceptionally strong, and he has undergone some kind of special and cruel training, it's not entirely impossible for him to grit his teeth and absorb a high-age spirit ring."
Ning Fengzhi smiled lightly: "Thinking about it that way, this kid is really bold! I'm really looking forward to a few years from now. This boy neither accepted the Spirit Hall's offer nor wanted to join a sect. It seems we've made a wasted trip this time."
There was nothing they could do;it was all because the Water Ripple City Auction House was too small, full of junk,which the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School didn't care about.
The only valuable item, the Twin Stars, was also 'modestly' given to Dongfang Jing.
"Speaking of which, since they are siblings, will this little girl be as amazing as her brother?" Ning Fengzhi suddenly thought.
Chen Xin shook his head, then nodded: "Their hair color and appearance are not similar, perhaps they are not related by blood. But I always feel that little girl..."
He hesitated for a few seconds, then leaned close to Ning Fengzhi's ear and whispered something.
Ning Fengzhi's eyes lit up: "Uncle Jian, are you sure?"
"Not sure. Just now, we were both focused on the young man and didn't pay much attention to the girl."
"That's a pity." Ning Fengzhi looked up at the sky, "It's getting late, let's go back to the inn first and set off back to the sect tomorrow."
"Hmm."
Under the warm yellow light of the Seven Treasures Inn , Dongfang Jing carefully placed the shimmering silver necklace on Dongfang Yao.
The delicate chain hugged her slender neck, the sapphire at the end swaying gently, making the little girl's exquisitely beautiful face even more adorable.
"All done." Dongfang Jing examined her for a moment, then smiled and gently pinched her nose. "Yao'er is so pretty, she'll definitely grow up to be a great beauty."
Dongfang Yao shyly put her hands behind her back,lowered her head slightly, but couldn't help but smile.
Then, she saw her brother pick up another purple diamond-shaped earring and put it on her right earlobe.
The deep purple color matched his eyes in a strange way, adding a touch of mystery and coldness to his aura.
"Brother looks so handsome in it too!" Dongfang Yao's eyes sparkled as she sincerely praised him.
"Really?"
Dongfang Jing walked to the mirror by the wall and looked at himself, his fingertips lightly touching the earring, feeling its cool touch. "The colors actually match quite well."
He then walked to the table and unfolded a map of the continent, laying it flat against the wall.
With a slight flick of his soul power, several shards of mirror quickly pieced together into a sharp-edged dart.
"Yao'er, we've stayed in Shuilan City long enough; it's time for a change of scenery."
He waved the dart in his hand: "Here, watch carefully."
Dongfang Jing demonstrated a throwing motion while explaining, "In a moment, you'll blindfold yourself and throw this dart at the map. Whichever city the dart lands in, that's where we'll go next, okay?"
"Okay, okay!" Dongfang Yao immediately jumped for joy, finding this method novel and interesting. She thought to herself, "My brother always comes up with fun ideas; what's his brain made of?"
Although Dongfang Yao was as happy as a child, she was as clear-headed as a mirror.
She knew her brother had been in the limelight lately and indeed needed to leave temporarily to avoid the limelight.
She walked to the map and carefully examined the southern region; the densely packed city names were all completely unfamiliar to her.
He then suggested, "Brother, why don't we stay in the Heavenly Dou Empire instead of going to the Star Luo Empire?"
"Yes, that's fine," Dongfang Jing nodded, sharing the same thought.
The Star Luo Empire was completely unfamiliar to them, akin to a foreign land, with unpredictable risks.
It was safer back home.
