Chapter 71 Leaving the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School
"Will you return to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School after this departure?"
Gu Rong asked Gu Xuan a question.
"Won't."
Since Gu Xuan has decided to leave, he will never come back.
If he were to encounter Ning Rongrong again in the future, he wouldn't mind giving her a ride.
"Well, it's better if you leave. It's too unfair to leave you here."
It's a pity you didn't collect the head and torso bones.
"But it's alright. With four soul bones and your two talismans, as long as the time limit doesn't exceed 100,000 years, absorbing them will be a breeze for you."
Gu Rong shook his head as he spoke.
Although he hadn't found the head and torso bones, he wasn't worried.
After all, with the Dog and Horse Talisman in place, the only thing Gu Xuan needed to worry about was his physical endurance.
Since being enlightened by Gu Xuan, he has gained a comprehensive understanding of Soul Masters.
He especially studied the power within Gu Xuan.
Holding two talismans in hand, one could say that one is invincible.
Gu Xuan nodded slightly, acknowledging Gu Rong's conjecture.
He occasionally lends out his talismans, so improving his own strength and resilience is key.
"Uncle Bones!"
Just then, Chen Xin and Ning Fengzhi appeared in the courtyard as sword light.
As soon as Ning Fengzhi landed, he jogged to the ancient banyan tree.
"I'm sorry, Uncle Gu. It's my fault for not disciplining him properly, which led to this incident. I will definitely discipline Rongrong more strictly after he wakes up so that Xiao Xuan can vent his anger."
Ning Fengzhi immediately bowed to Gu Rong and apologized, promising to severely punish Ning Rongrong.
"No need to vent my anger anymore. I've already vented it myself. Ning Rongrong almost killed me last time, and I've returned the favor this time, so no one owes anyone anything."
Gu Xuan waved his hand and took out a piece of right leg bone, handing it to Ning Fengzhi. This soul bone was of the same quality as the one Ning Fengzhi had given him as an apology.
Ning Fengzhi once used a soul bone to try to quell his anger, so now he's retaliating in kind, and he won't owe Ning Fengzhi anything for that soul bone.
"Xiao Xuan, do we really have to be so clear about these distinctions?"
A bitter smile flashed across Ning Fengzhi's face. After seeing this soul bone, he understood many things.
While they were unwilling to provide Gu Xuan with a soul bone, there were plenty of others who were willing to do so.
"I'm not used to owing people, nor do I like others owing me. Since I can't treat both sides equally, I'd better focus on treating one side well. May I ask what exactly caused this conflict?"
Ning Fengzhi wanted to find the root cause of the problem; if he knew the reason for the conflict between the two, he might be able to resolve it.
"reason?
My daughter came to show off her soul bone to me and threatened to cut off the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's resource supply to me, forcing me to submit to her.
While others would hide away as much as possible after absorbing a soul bone, Miss Ning was quite unique, blocking the door and telling me just how strong her soul bone was.
Is this because they're afraid others won't dare to kill and steal their treasure?
"Six soul bones? Prepare to lock her up in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School for life."
Gu Xuan was quite looking forward to Ning Rongrong absorbing the six gem soul bones.
He wondered if Ning Rongrong would still have a chance to leave the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and join Shrek Academy if that were the case.
A set of high-quality soul bones—even if it's geared towards support, Gu Xuan believes no one would complain about it.
"this--"
Ning Fengzhi never expected that the root of all this would actually be him.
Ning Rongrong behaved very well during this time and never caused any trouble for Gu Xuan, which made Ning Fengzhi think that Ning Rongrong must have become sensible.
So he blurted out the story about the soul bone.
What he didn't know was that Ning Rongrong didn't want to cause trouble for Gu Xuan; she simply didn't have anything worthwhile to offer him.
She couldn't match the guards' talent, and with her blank slate, she could only be mocked by Gu Xuan.
But Ning Fengzhi said that the soul bone he had prepared for her suddenly gave her confidence.
He was in a hurry to go and show off to Gu Xuan.
Gu Rong's face darkened even more. It's just a mere soul bone, yet they act like everyone has one. They only just learned some information about soul bones and they dare to come and block the door.
If he absorbs six soul bones and evolves his martial soul, wouldn't he be able to ride on his son Xuan'er's neck?
"Xiao Xuan, Rongrong is still young and doesn't understand, you—"
Ning Fengzhi wanted to struggle a little longer.
"She's young, but does that mean Xuan'er is already grown up?"
Why should Xuan'er have to humble herself to please others? If you won't give Xuan'er a soul bone, I'll find a way to prepare one for her. A few soul bones are nothing; what right does she have to be arrogant!
Gu Rong now feels extremely irritated whenever she hears this sentence.
He used to protect Ning Rongrong in the same way, but he never expected that one day the boomerang would actually pierce his own body.
To put it bluntly, it's like the cattle and horses have broken through my defenses. I treat the sect as my home, and I treat you, Ning Fengzhi, as family.
In the end, it seems you didn't think that way. Did you ever consider me family?
Previously, when Gu Rong dealt with the relationship between Ning Rongrong and Gu Xuan, he treated them both like grandchildren. So, in daily life, he always believed that the older brother should give in to the younger sister, and he let Gu Xuan tolerate Ning Rongrong's naughtiness.
But Ning Rongrong went too far that time, and that's when he finally realized what was happening.
Even so, he still considered the Ning family as family, but after Ning Fengzhi's series of questionable actions, he completely lost touch with them.
There was no resentment, but the affection between her and Ning Fengzhi had been completely worn away.
To be honest, he was truly capable of risking his life for his father and daughter.
After all, he had seen them grow up together. Although they weren't family, they were closer than family. But now he understood that being closer than family was still just being closer than family. No matter how the Bone Dragon compared, it could never be compared to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.
Perhaps these "outsiders" are important to Ning Fengzhi, but they are not that important.
"Once you've made up your mind, don't try to persuade them anymore. It's better to let go than to let the two of them grow to hate each other."
That would be better for Xuan'er and Rongrong. Do you really want to wait until they kill each other before you stop?
With a wave of his hand, Gu Rong caused the soul bone in Gu Xuan's hand to fall into Ning Fengzhi's hands.
Gu Xuan wants to leave today, let's see who dares to stop him.
Even Chen Xin was glared at and warned by him: "If you dare to make a scene, I'll beat you up too."
Hearing the commotion in the courtyard, Dugu Bo and the others rushed out.
"Alright, that's enough for now, Fengzhi."
After Gu Rong finished speaking, he immediately activated his eighth soul skill and teleported away right in front of Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin, along with the several people who looked disgusted.
"You...you just left like that?"
Ning Fengzhi stared blankly at the soul bone in his hand, as if he wasn't even given a chance to keep it.
Ning Fengzhi was looking down, seemingly lost in thought, but the sense of loss emanating from him was unmistakable.
"Charm".
Chen Xin patted Ning Fengzhi on the shoulder, wanting to say something to comfort him, after all, he had watched Ning Fengzhi grow up since he was a child.
He didn't want to see Ning Fengzhi fall into despair because of this.
"Uncle Jian, don't worry, I'm fine."
Ning Fengzhi raised his head, and although the sadness was still in his eyes, his gaze became even more determined.
"Uncle Jian, Rongrong really needs to be properly nurtured, otherwise even if her martial soul transforms into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda in the future, she still won't be able to protect the sect."
"Alright, you can arrange it as you see fit."
Chen Xin has given up, but Ning Rongrong really needs to be disciplined. Today, Gu Xuan and Gu Rong have both died. If things continue like this, even the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, with its abundant resources, cannot withstand such a method of destruction.
"Uncle Jian, do you think Uncle Gu will come back?"
Ning Fengzhi gradually adjusted his mindset, and his mind raced as he calculated various possibilities and solutions.
"Probably, after all, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is no different from home to us."
Chen Xin could only offer some comforting words to persuade Ning Fengzhi.
"Also, what Xiao Xuan said does make some sense. Isn't it too early to let Rongrong absorb the soul bone now?"
What if Rongrong is being targeted?
Chen Xin leaned closer to Gu Xuan and said.
"Uncle Jian, it's not a question of soul bones anymore. It's still uncertain whether Rongrong can successfully inherit these soul bones after Xiao Xuan leaves."
Ning Fengzhi smiled bitterly, already sensing the approaching storm.
