Chapter 37: School Master Ning
The next day!
Dugu Yan still had to return to school. Dugu Bo felt sorry for his granddaughter and could not bear to see her walking, so he personally took Dugu Yan back to the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy.
At the same time, the Dugu Residence in Heaven Dou City welcomed two special groups of guests.
The first was the current Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, Xue Qinghe.
The second was Xue Qinghe’s teacher, the Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Ning Fengzhi.
Upon seeing Ning Fengzhi, Xue Qinghe beamed and walked up to him, taking the initiative to perform the Disciple’s salute. He was gentle and elegant, his attitude respectful:
"Teacher, I am sorry to trouble you with this trip today."
Ning Fengzhi wore a moon-white robe made of extraordinary material. He had a scholarly and elegant temperament, a handsome appearance, and a faint, ever-present smile at the corners of his mouth.
He did not dodge or avoid it, accepting Xue Qinghe’s salute. After all, Xue Qinghe was currently the Crown Prince, not the Emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire.
And as Xue Qinghe’s teacher, he was qualified to accept a salute from him.
However, Ning Fengzhi was also very tactful. After accepting the salute, he immediately stepped forward to help him up, speaking in a gentle tone:
"Your Highness, there is no need for such formalities!"
"After receiving Your Highness’s message last night, I truly felt restless all night. My Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has always been kind to others, and I never expected that we would unintentionally cause such a huge misunderstanding with a Genius Spirit Master."
"Forcing someone to change their appearance and hide their identity is my fault. If I can clear up this misunderstanding today, I am willing to apologize to him personally and provide appropriate compensation."
The words sounded nice!
But deep in Ning Fengzhi’s heart, he felt extremely anxious.
The speed at which a Support Soul Master can Cultivate is, to a certain extent, weaker than that of a Battle Spirit Master.
Yet that Lan Chen actually possessed level 69 spirit power at around thirty years old. Such talent was truly terrifying.
As long as this person did not die, he would definitely become a Titled Douluo of the support system.
Once that time came, the status of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda as the number one support Spirit on the continent would likely be completely lost.
Just thinking about this made Ning Fengzhi feel anxious.
He had indeed been restless all night after receiving the message last night.
He hadn’t expected that despite his constant suppression, such a huge oversight would still occur.
To let a Support Soul Master grow to level 69 spirit power without a sound.
Ning Fengzhi already harbored surging murderous intent towards Lan Chen.
However, at the moment, both Emperor Xue Ye and Crown Prince Xue Qinghe intended to protect Lan Chen and bring him under the control of the Heaven Dou Empire’s royal family.
Ning Fengzhi could not act too quickly.
He could only wait for this storm to pass before finding an opportunity to send Gu Rong or Chen Xin to completely eliminate Lan Chen, this serious threat.
On the surface, Ning Fengzhi naturally needed to maintain his persona. His face was full of guilt and self-reproach, and he sighed repeatedly, constantly reflecting on himself.
This was Ning Fengzhi: seemingly kind to others, but actually ruthless. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was able to reach its current status, and he deserved much of the credit.
Watching Ning Fengzhi blame himself so much, Xue Qinghe’s mouth twitched, but he still comforted him:
"Teacher, you don’t need to blame yourself too much. After all, managing such a large Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, it is inevitable that some oversights will occur."
"We came here together today to clear up this misunderstanding. As long as we can provide compensation, I believe Lan Chen will forgive you."
Ning Fengzhi nodded noncommittally:
"I hope so."
While the two were talking, a servant from the Crown Prince’s Residence stepped forward and knocked on the door. When the gate of the Dugu Residence opened, Dugu Bo’s butler walked out.
The servant spoke neither servilely nor overbearingly, explaining that Xue Qinghe and Ning Fengzhi had come to visit Lan Chen.
This gave the butler a fright!
One was the Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, and the other was the Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. With these two coming to the door together, how could he, a mere butler, stop them!
Since Dugu Bo was away, the butler could only carefully invite Xue Qinghe and Ning Fengzhi into the mansion’s living room, then hurriedly went to notify Lu Chen.
Not long after, in a guest room of the Dugu Residence!
After learning the ins and outs of the situation from the butler, Lu Chen couldn’t help but look helpless.
Douluo Continent was only so big. As long as he exposed his tracks in front of people, being targeted was only a matter of time.
Especially since he had come to Heaven Dou City. A Xue Qinghe and a Ning Fengzhi were like sticky candy; he couldn’t shake them off no matter how he tried.
No choice, might as well meet them!
Fortunately, his Spirit had already evolved from Blue Silver Grass to Blue Silver King, and he had awakened the Blue Silver Domain.
Relying on the disguise ability of the Blue Silver Domain, he had disguised himself.
What he exposed to the outside world were all trivial matters. On the surface, he was just an unremarkable, thirty-year-old, level 69 Spirit Emperor of the support system.
If people knew that he was less than ten years old and was already a level 69 Spirit Emperor, and that his spirit ring configuration was Purple, Purple, Purple, Black, Black, Black, then who knew how many people would want to come and silence him.
It was fine for now; he had already proven his value to Dugu Bo. Dugu Bo would definitely protect him. As long as he held out until Dugu Bo returned, he wouldn’t be in any danger.
Immediately, led by the butler, Lu Chen went to the living room to meet Xue Qinghe and Ning Fengzhi.
In the living room!
Lu Chen walked in with a calm expression. The images of Xue Qinghe and Ning Fengzhi were quite deeply ingrained in people’s minds, so after Lu Chen entered, he recognized them both at a glance.
A young man who appeared gentle and polite.
It was Xue Qinghe!
A middle-aged man who looked scholarly and easy-going.
It was Ning Fengzhi!
After Lu Chen entered and was just about to speak, he suddenly felt a strong sense of malice, which made the hair on his back stand up and his muscles tense up.
Who was it?
Lu Chen’s gaze was like electricity, and he looked over instantly!
He saw standing behind Ning Fengzhi a figure over two meters tall, looking tall and burly, but with no muscles, just a skeleton frame supporting it.
This person had deep-set eye sockets, thin cheeks, sparse hair, and a very ugly face.
At first glance, it looked like a skeleton ghost!
Bone Douluo, Gu Rong!
The moment Lu Chen saw this person, he thought of his identity.
His heart tightened instantly. Compared to Chen Xin, who was still upright, Gu Rong was purely a villain.
It was also during this period that there was only the term "fallen Spirit Master" and no term "Evil Spirit Master."
Otherwise, Gu Rong would undoubtedly be an Evil Spirit Master.
Ning Fengzhi brought Gu Rong with him; it seems he has ill intentions towards me. Let Gu Rong recognize me first, and next time he will come to kill me!
Lu Chen gritted his teeth and buried all his emotions deep in his heart.
Now was not the time to turn against Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong.
He had to endure for now!
However, Lu Chen had already noted this matter. After his strength improved in the future, he would definitely give the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Ning Fengzhi, and Gu Rong a big "surprise."
Lu Chen stopped looking at Gu Rong. Even though he felt his hair standing on end, he pretended that this person didn’t exist, took the initiative to lower his posture, performed a salute, and said:
"I am Lan Chen. Greetings, Your Highness, greetings, School Master Ning."
