Chapter 71: This Is Not Over
Everyone in the hall, Dugu Bo, Lu Chen, Dugu Yan, and even Xue Qinghe, had their attention drawn by these words, looking toward the open brocade box in Ning Fengzhi’s hand.
Inside the brocade box lay a black Right Leg Bone, resting quietly.
The Right Leg Bone was quite complete, of extremely high quality, and emitted astonishing energy fluctuations.
Upon seeing it, it was indeed a Spirit Bone!
Listening to Ning Fengzhi’s introduction, this was actually a 50,000-year Human-Faced Demon Spider Emperor Right Leg Bone!
The expressions of everyone present immediately became interesting.
Any Spirit Bone could be considered a priceless treasure.
Moreover, this Spirit Bone was not an ordinary one, coming from a 50,000-year Human-Faced Demon Spider Emperor.
The value of this Spirit Bone was immeasurable.
Even a Titled Douluo would be unable to resist being tempted by it.
Ning Fengzhi was indeed generous; the value of this heavy gift was something even Dugu Bo could not resist.
Seeing that the Spirit Bone he brought out had already shocked everyone, Ning Fengzhi introduced it in a low voice:
"When my spirit power reached a 70-level Breakthrough, I went to hunt for the Spirit Beast needed for my Seventh Spirit Ring. Unexpectedly, this Human-Faced Demon Spider Emperor relied on its terrifying stealth ability to hide in the shadows and launch a sneak attack, causing heavy casualties to our hunting team."
"This made me extremely furious. Even though I did not need the spirit ring of the Human-Faced Demon Spider Emperor, I still had people slaughter it to retaliate for its sneak attack on us."
"After the Human-Faced Demon Spider Emperor died, this Right Leg Bone dropped. This Spirit Bone is very precious, but unfortunately, it has a poison attribute."
"It is not quite compatible with us, so we kept it. Today, I present this Spirit Bone to Your Excellency Jade Phosphor. Firstly, it is to turn hostility into friendship, and secondly, to request that Your Excellency Jade Phosphor provide the antidote."
When Ning Fengzhi said this, Dugu Bo immediately showed a look of hesitation.
He really wanted this Right Leg Bone, but once he accepted the Spirit Bone, he would find it difficult to refuse Ning Fengzhi again and would have to help the Spirit Masters of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School detoxify.
He rubbed his hands, finding it hard to decide for a moment.
After much thought, Dugu Bo could only look at Lu Chen. It was to vent Lu Chen’s anger that he had poisoned those Spirit Masters of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
Whether or not to give them the antidote still required asking for Lu Chen’s opinion.
This small action by Dugu Bo was seen by Ning Fengzhi, who understood that to get the antidote from Dugu Bo, he must get Lu Chen to nod in agreement.
Ning Fengzhi turned his head again and looked at Lu Chen with a sincere expression, speaking earnestly:
"Mr. Lan Chen, everything was my fault before, but those Spirit Masters of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School are all innocent. They should not have to pay for my mistakes."
"As long as Mr. Lan Chen can forgive us, I am personally willing to offer 10 million gold coins as compensation, and I can guarantee that I will never disturb Mr. Lan Chen again."
"I hope Mr. Lan Chen will persuade Your Excellency Jade Phosphor to provide the antidote. If Mr. Lan Chen feels it is not enough, we can discuss it further. Whatever you want, if our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has it, we can give it to you."
Lu Chen took a deep look at Ning Fengzhi, who appeared humble, completely devoid of the airs of a Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and capable of both bending and stretching.
This person was indeed a formidable character!
Feeling that he was a threat, he immediately brought Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo to intercept and kill him.
Now that the interception had failed, when it was time to bow his head and admit defeat, he immediately became humble to the point of being in the dust.
For a person like this, once targeted by him, it was truly a chilling matter.
If Ning Fengzhi did not die, Lu Chen would not be able to eat or sleep in peace. Thinking about the incident where Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, and Gu Rong came to intercept him, he could not help but feel angry.
This matter!
Is not over!
Lu Chen spoke in a calm tone:
"Big Brother Dugu, this Spirit Bone is very good. You should accept it. You can give them the antidote they want."
"As for the 10 million gold coins in compensation, I do not want it, because my life cannot be compensated for with 10 million gold coins."
As soon as these words were spoken, Dugu Bo, Ning Fengzhi, and Xue Qinghe all looked at Lu Chen in surprise.
Everyone present was sharp, so they naturally understood the meaning behind Lu Chen’s words.
Refusing to accept compensation meant refusing to forgive Ning Fengzhi.
He reserved the right to hold Ning Fengzhi accountable in the future.
After all, if he accepted the compensation, it would be morally indefensible if he wanted to retaliate against the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School in the future.
Now that Lu Chen did not accept the compensation, it was clear that he held a grudge against Ning Fengzhi in his heart and could use this as an excuse to retaliate against Ning Fengzhi in the future.
A shadow flitted across the depths of Ning Fengzhi’s eyes. Lu Chen did not want to reconcile with them, and coincidentally, they did not want Lu Chen to grow up smoothly. It seemed there would be more open struggles and secret schemes in the future.
A flash of pleasant surprise crossed Xue Qinghe’s heart. What she feared most was that Lu Chen would have no desires or demands. As long as Lu Chen had demands, she could target him for recruitment.
Since Lu Chen wanted to retaliate against Ning Fengzhi, she could start from this aspect in the future and gradually win Lu Chen over to her side.
Dugu Bo was in a dilemma. Now that Lu Chen would not accept compensation, if he accepted this Spirit Bone, wouldn’t it make him seem disloyal?
In the end, it was Lu Chen who spoke again:
"Big Brother Dugu, you don’t need to worry about me. You should accept this Spirit Bone as payment for preparing the antidote for those Disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."
Lu Chen possessed twin spirits, and when he Cultivated his second Spirit, he would definitely take revenge himself.
Dugu Bo did not need to participate, and naturally, he did not need to worry about a single Spirit Bone.
Hearing Lu Chen say this, Dugu Bo gritted his teeth and put away the brocade box containing the Spirit Bone. While taking out the antidote and handing it to Ning Fengzhi, he glared at the other party like a tiger watching its prey and said:
"Sect Master Ning, remember what you said today. If you dare to take any improper actions against my Brother Lan Chen again, I guarantee that the number of your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School Disciples who die from poison will only be more than this time, not less."
After obtaining the antidote, Ning Fengzhi clearly breathed a sigh of relief. Being able to save hundreds of Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School Disciples was, after all, a good thing.
He replied with a full face of smiles:
"Of course, please rest assured, Your Excellency Bili. Next time, such a thing will absolutely not happen."
That was what he said!
But in Ning Fengzhi’s heart, that was not what he thought. His malice toward Lu Chen had never disappeared; it was just hidden deeper by him.
This matter temporarily came to an end, and Ning Fengzhi, taking Chen Xin with him, quickly left the Dugu Residence.
They still had to take the antidote back to save the poisoned Disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
As for Xue Qinghe, she did not leave immediately. Instead, she looked at Lu Chen and said quite guiltily:
"Mr. Lan Chen, you have been wronged in this matter. As a student, I cannot speak ill of my teacher, but in this matter, my teacher was indeed wrong, and wrong in a complete mess."
"As the teacher’s student, I apologize to you solemnly on behalf of my teacher. I know that anything I say now is not worthy of your trust."
"But please rest assured, I will definitely stand on the side of fairness and justice. In the future, I will let you see my sincerity."
After finishing, Xue Qinghe bowed to Dugu Bo and greeted Dugu Yan, before turning and leaving the place.
This Xue Qinghe was very thoughtful in terms of etiquette, making people feel very comfortable.
