273 Chapter 273: Return to the Sect

...

Zeng Yi took out a Copper Spirit coin and used it to purchase the girl who was originally priced at a 100,000 gold Spirit coins in the auction.

This blatant slap to the face, even if the auction house understood, they had to laugh and offer their faces for another slap.

This is the power that a Titled Douluo possesses.

Ning Fengzhi highly appreciated Zeng Yi's actions, which brought him a great sense of satisfaction. As the Sect Master, he had wanted to do something like this for a long time, but he had too many things to consider. But this time, Zeng Yi's actions made him think differently. How could his own sect, one of the top three sects, ranked even higher than Clear Sky Sect, which had closed its doors, be restrained by these small fries? It was quite laughable.

Ning Fengzhi thought this to himself, shaking his head and chuckling silently. He realized that he had been overly cautious.

The current sect had Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo as the pillars, both powerful Titled Douluos. And in the future, they also had Zeng Yi as support, along with Rong Rong assistance. With the glory and honor of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, they would continue to stand at the pinnacle of the entire continent.

As for the Martial Spirit Hall, they were their allies now, so there was no need to worry too much.

With Zeng Yi's auction completed, the auction house hastily came to an end. Once the auction ended, the bidders who had originally stayed to spectate hurriedly fled.

After about ten seconds, only Zeng Yi and his group remained in the auction hall, along with the trembling auction host on the stage and a few auction house staff.

Zeng Yi's figure instantly disappeared and reappeared on the stage.

Seeing Zeng Yi suddenly appear beside him, the host was startled and fell onto the floor in fear. He had a lingering memory of Zeng Yi mercilessly beheading that Saint-level Spirit Master earlier, afraid that this young man would kill him so easily.

Ignoring the host, Zeng Yi swiftly unsheathed his sword, and several sword lights flashed, effortlessly slicing open the iron cage imprisoning the girl.

Although the girl was rescued by Zeng Yi, she was still terrified and curled up in place, trembling slightly.

But she still raised her head, looking at the person who had saved her with curiosity.

After raising her head, Zeng Yi finally had a clear view of her appearance. She was quite beautiful, or else the auction house wouldn't have put her up for auction. What surprised Zeng Yi the most were the pair of furry cat ears on her head, and her eyes were different colors—one sapphire blue and the other emerald green, like gemstones. She also had a slender tail behind her tailbone.

Is she a Nekomimi?

Zeng Yi was somewhat stunned. Did the Douluo Continent also have a beastman race? Or was her Martial Spirit that of a cat and she was currently in a state of Martial Spirit possession?

This girl's appearance was quite familiar to Zeng Yi because Zhu Zhuqing, who also had a cat Martial Spirit, looked the same when she activated her Martial Spirit.

"Naturally, human bodies undergo some changes during the awakening of their Martial Spirits. They acquire some physical traits similar to their Martial Spirits. Just like how she has acquired some cat features, and unlike the case of a Beast Martial Spirit's possession, this is a lifelong mutation." Ning Fengzhi explained as he walked over, noticing Zeng Yi's confusion.

Zeng Yi nodded in understanding and took out a robe from his storage ring, covering the girl's exposed fair skin.

"Put this on and come with me."

"Yes, Master." the girl weakly replied. She knew that this young man had bought her, even at an extremely low price. Since she had been purchased, she was now his slave.

Master? What kind of title is that? Zeng Yi couldn't help but feel a bit awkward. As a youth from the 21st century, he couldn't easily accept it.

However, Zeng Yi didn't bother to correct her way of addressing him. After all, she should have received an education here, and her thoughts couldn't be changed in a short time. After returning, he would arrange for her to receive proper ideological education and become a better person.

"By the way, why aren't you staying in the sect and running around here?" Zeng Yi couldn't help but ask his cheap master.

"What 'you'? Call me Master!" Sword Douluo's eyes twitched and he appeared behind Zeng Yi in a flash, slapping the back of this disciple's head without restraint.

"Ouch! That hurts! Can't you use a bit less force? If you knock me dumb, where will you find such a handsome person to be your disciple?"

Looking at the interaction between the Master and Disciple, Ning Fengzhi couldn't help but feel that Zeng Yi's character was unpredictable.

"Let's stop fooling around. Let's leave here and discuss matters on the way." Ning Fengzhi said.

The group first went to the backstage of the auction house to collect the items they had previously bid on before leaving through the main gate.

On the way, Ning Fengzhi learned that Tang San and Xiao Wu, who were sitting in front of him in the auction house, were actually his daughter, Ning Rongrong's classmates at Shrek Academy. He couldn't help but exclaim how small the world is.

Xue Qinghe brought Zeng Yi to the auction house with the purpose of integrating Zeng Yi into Ning Fengzhi's group. Being the Crown Prince, she naturally had the intelligence to know where Ning Fengzhi was. Bringing Zeng Yi along was also to allow him to return to the sect with Ning Fengzhi.

Because Zeng Yi was in danger in Heaven Dou City, with many forces targeting him, including the Martial Spirit Hall, Xue Qinghe didn't want him to enter the Martial Spirit Hall for the time being.

Both Xue Qinghe and Ning Fengzhi were very interested in purchasing hidden weapons from Tang San, who was also Zeng Yi and Ning Rongrong's classmate. This made it easier to negotiate. They left their contact information with Tang San to discuss further collaboration when there was time.

Soon, Tang San and Xiao Wu returned to the academy, and Xue Qinghe left due to some matters. Zeng Yi didn't go back to the academy since he had already graduated. Sword Douluo and Ning Fengzhi were still here, so he decided to accompany them back to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

"Aren't you going back to the academy?" Sword Douluo couldn't help but ask when he saw Zeng Yi still here.

"I've already graduated. Why should I go back to the academy? I'll go with you to the sect and take a look. Also, I think there's something wrong with your brain. You took me as your disciple but didn't let me train in the sect. Instead, you left me at the academy. Do you think the academy's resources are better than the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect? Do you know you're wasting my talent?" Zeng Yi said nonchalantly.

Glancing at Sword Douluo, Zeng Yi found it a bit annoying. As a disciple from the 21st century, having Sword Douluo as his master made him feel embarrassed.

After regaining his senses, Ning Fengzhi carefully pondered and realized that with Zeng Yi's current strength, staying in the academy wouldn't be of much use. Returning to the sect and utilizing the sect's resources to train him would accelerate his growth, making the sect even stronger.

Moreover, with Zeng Yi's terrifying combat strength, if he were to grow further, his power would be truly terrifying.

At that time, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would not fear even the Martial Spirit Hall.

"By the way, where is Rongrong? Why didn't you bring her out with you?" Sword Douluo couldn't help but worry about his precious granddaughter.

"She went back to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect two days ago and is not in Heaven Dou City."

"What? You let Rongrong go back to the sect alone? What if something dangerous happens to her on the way? Are you taking responsibility?" Sword Douluo was startled and grabbed Zeng Yi's shoulders, shaking him forcefully as he questioned him.

"No, we have to go back immediately!"

Seeing his cheap master's extremely anxious appearance, Zeng Yi was speechless.

This disgusting granddaughter-con turned out to be his master and it truly made him feel ashamed.
