Chapter 3570

After hearing this, Xue Qinghe's expression grew ever so slightly graver...

He had never imagined that the Hao Tian Clan had stopped their assassination plans against Xu Sheng because it actually related to him!

This matter wasn't hard to understand, yet it wasn't simple either!

Seeming to perceive the former's situation, Ning Fengzhi spoke again, "Qinghe, don't feel any pressure. If you are unwilling, we won't force you. As for the Hao Tian Clan, just find another reason to refuse them!"

Chen Xin and Gu Rong remained silent; honestly, their relationship with Xue Qinghe was quite average, and they had no right to ask him to do anything!

Hence, they could only place their hopes in Ning Fengzhi!

Xue Qinghe glanced at Ning Fengzhi, knowing fully well that the latter sincerely hoped he would agree!

After some deep thought, he gave an ambiguous answer, "Teacher, regarding the demand made by the Hao Tian Clan, to be honest, I also don't know whether I should agree!"

"You should know that although I'm not on bad terms with Xu Sheng, it's, after all, just an acquaintance of a few days. It's far from sufficient for me to act as a go-between for the Hao Tian Clan!"

"Moreover, whether Xu Sheng himself is willing to accept, I'm not sure either!"

Ning Fengzhi did not show any displeasure but pursed his lips and said, "Hmm… so, Qinghe, you mean to refuse the Hao Tian Clan's request?"

Ah, as expected, with Qinghe's wisdom, he must have thought of it!

If this request from the Hao Tian Clan regarding Xu Sheng had ulterior motives and something unexpected occurred, not only would the Upper Three Sects completely sever ties with Martial Soul Hall, but even the royal household might bear a grudge!

Ultimately, this matter is entirely disadvantageous and beneficial to the royal household!

However, as a teacher, he respected the other's choice!

Seeing this, Gu Rong and Chen Xin silently sighed and didn't say much more...

However, Xue Qinghe shook his head, "No… no, teacher, you've misunderstood. I think we should first consult Xu Sheng's opinion, to see if he's willing to meet with the people from the Hao Tian Clan!"

Ning Fengzhi instantly understood the other's intention...

"I understand, then let's first ask Xu Sheng's opinion!"

"But, do you plan to go to Martial Soul City yourself? If so, there might be certain risks!"

During the last big competition, the reason they were able to leave Martial Soul City safely was that they had protection from Du Gu Bo and Gu Rong, both Titled Douluos, and Martial Soul Hall dared not make a move!

If they let Xue Qinghe and others go, the safety could not be guaranteed!

Xue Qinghe nodded slightly, "Yes, I know, but this matter is significant, and I want to talk to Xu Sheng personally!"

For some reason, he felt that his trip to Martial Soul City was somewhat selfish!

Ning Fengzhi hesitated for a moment then suggested, "How about this, I'll have Uncle Bone accompany you for safety!"

Gu Rong possessed a Spatial Soul Skill, which in case of any emergency, could save Xue Qinghe!

Upon seeing this, Gu Rong immediately expressed, "I have no objections!"

After all, this was for the sake of the Upper Three Sects, it was his unavoidable responsibility!

Xue Qinghe feigned surprise, "Teacher, how can that be possible, Uncle Bone alongside Uncle Sword are needed to guard our sect. They surely can't leave just like that!"

Seeing this, Chen Xin confidently replied, "Crown Prince, you underestimate our Seven Treasures Glaze Sect. Just for guarding the sect, I alone am enough!"

"With Old Bones accompanying you to Martial Soul City, those people from Martial Soul Hall probably won't dare to do anything covertly!"

Ning Fengzhi nodded in agreement, "That's right, the sect can be managed by me and Uncle Sword. Let Uncle Bone go with you!"

At that moment, Xue Qinghe furrowed his brows...

If Gu Rong accompanied him, he feared there would be many troubles when meeting Xu Sheng!

No matter what, he absolutely couldn't let that happen!

Suddenly, it seemed like he thought of something and patiently explained, "Thank you, Teacher, and the two seniors for your kindness. However, after I last returned to the palace, my father had already specifically assigned a Titled Douluo to protect me personally!"

"For this, there is no need to worry about my safety!"

Hearing this, Ning Fengzhi subconsciously looked towards Chen Xin and Gu Rong...

All he saw was them quietly releasing their spiritual power...

Seemingly sensing something, they calmly nodded...

They hadn't noticed before, but around Yueguan and the others, there indeed was a Title Douluo closely protecting them!

However, it appeared that they were staying out of the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect's range!

Seeing this, Ning Fengzhi knew that the previous words were true...

He also dismissed his prior thoughts...

Then, he spoke, "Qinghe, since you have a Title Douluo personally protecting you, I am reassured!"

"However, you must still be cautious on this journey. If the Martial Soul Hall insists on making a move, relying on the Title Douluo by your side might not be enough to stop them!"

He felt it was necessary to remind the other party nonetheless!

The strength of Ghost Charm and Moonlight when they release their Martial Soul Fusion Skill together is indeed more than the sum of two!

Yueguan smiled slightly, "Teacher, rest assured, I am aware!"

"Moreover, if the Martial Soul Hall really wants to take action against me, they must have already started preparing to start a war with the upper three families and the royal household!"

Ning Fengzhi opened his mouth, then swallowed back what he had intended to say...

"Alright, then I won't say more. When do you plan to set off?"

Yueguan paused for a moment, then answered, "Tomorrow, after all, we have traveled a long path today!"

Ning Fengzhi didn't argue, "Hmm, that's also good!"

Straight after, he signaled to Gu Rong and Chen Xin, "Uncle Bone, Uncle Sword, go check on Rongrong. I have some matters to discuss with Qinghe!"

They immediately understood, nodded at Yueguan, and then turned and left...

...

Hao Tian Clan!

The elders all looked at Tang Xiao with different expressions, seemingly having something to say...

The latter of course noticed their faces and immediately sighed, "Elders, if you have anything to say, just speak openly. There's no need to hold back."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone began to voice their thoughts...

"That... Sect Master, we are not sure if the Crown Prince will agree to the request we made!"

"Yes, I feel it's a bit too much. If it angers the Crown Prince, it's akin to offending the royal household!"

"Although the Crown Prince has some connections with Xu Sheng, it is perhaps not to such an extent. What we are doing might be too demanding!"

However, Tang Xiao just glanced at them, "Do you think I am not aware of these matters?"

"I just want to take this opportunity to involve the royal household as well!"

Although the upper three families are closely connected, who knows what the other two Great Sects are thinking secretly?

In case they abandon the Hao Tian Clan, at least the royal household is there as a backup!
