Gu Rong's eyes flickered, "The Soul Masters from Hao Tian Clan and Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Sect are numerous, how could they have not detected the presence of the abyssal creatures?"
Chen Xin also strongly agreed, "Exactly, even you can sense the abyssal creatures, there's no reason they can't!"
Gu Rong glared at the former for no reason, always feeling that the other was beating around the bush!
However, it soon occurred to him, "Wait... Is it because these abyssal creatures aren't hunting within the confines of Hao Tian Clan or the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon but are laying in ambush on the necessary paths?"
This way, the disciples without the protection of Soul Masters could only obediently become prey to the abyssal creatures, and could not even get the message back to their sect!
Ning Fengzhi also thought this guess was very correct, "Very likely, after all, no matter how well one hides their aura, the moment they act, it generally gets revealed!"
"But if they leave the territory of their sect, how could those disciples possibly sense it!"
Chen Xin forced his heart to calm down, "Then, Feng Zhi, what do you plan to do? Are you going to convey the message about the abyssal creatures to the other two great sects?"
Ning Fengzhi immediately confirmed, "This matter, must be told to the other two great sects, otherwise, those disciples might continue to be preyed upon by the abyssal creatures!"
"It's just... We still don't know the exact number of abyssal creatures, and if we act rashly, it could likely result in even greater casualties!"
Having said that, he looked at Gu Rong...
If it hadn't been for the latter joining hands with Yueguan, he might never be able to return to the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect!
Chen Xin and Gu Rong both sighed, "That's true, once it's known that the attackers of the sect disciples are abyssal creatures, those Elders will probably be unable to sit still!"
After so many years of interaction, they were all too familiar with each other!
Ning Fengzhi slowly stood up and murmured, "It seems, I must personally make a trip to Hao Tian Clan and Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Sect!"
And Ning Rongrong, who had been eavesdropping behind the door, suddenly burst in...
Quite excitedly saying, "Dad, where did you just say you were going? Can you take me with you?"
Having already sensed the former's presence, Ning Fengzhi smiled and said, "Dad is going to make a trip to Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Sect and Hao Tian Clan, you obediently stay at the sect with Bone Grandpa and Sword Grandpa!"
Ning Rongrong immediately moved closer, clinging to his leg and cooing, "Dad, I don't wanna, I want to go with you, staying in the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect all the time is so boring!"
However, she was decisively rejected...
"No, the journey this time might encounter dangers, Rongrong, it's safer for you to stay at the sect!"
Chen Xin also abruptly chimed in, "Rongrong, don't be naughty. This trip to Hao Tian Clan and Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Sect is for serious matters, obediently stay at the sect!"
Since they had already confirmed the likelihood of ambush by abyssal creatures on the two great sects, naturally, they couldn't take Ning Rongrong with them!
If something were to happen, they would deeply regret it!
Seeing that the two were not relenting, Ning Rongrong immediately moved closer to the silent Gu Rong...
"Bone Grandpa, please plead with Dad and Sword Grandpa, let me go too!"
Gu Rong covered his mouth to cough and said sternly, "Rongrong, this time is different from the usual, we cannot let you be reckless!"
Ning Rongrong immediately turned her head, crossing her arms and saying, "Hmph, if you won't allow it, then I won't bother with you in the future!"
Gu Rong's heart softened, he patiently soothed, "Rongrong, let it be this time, next time, next time I will definitely take you with us!"
A glint of slyness appeared in Ning Rongrong's eyes, "Okay then... but you have to answer me one question first!"
Gu Rong patted his chest, "Rongrong, go ahead, what's the question? As long as Grandpa Gu knows, I'll tell you!"
Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin, however, had a premonition of misfortune...
Soon, this premonition was proven true...
Ning Rongrong, with a face full of anticipation, asked, "Dad and Bone Grandpa went to Pope City, did they meet Xu Sheng? Did he participate in the Friendship Competition? Did he win the championship?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Rong couldn't help but give a few embarrassing laughs, "Well... well, Rongrong, why are you asking so many questions about Xu Sheng?"
This child used to dislike that Xu Sheng, right? How come she is so interested now!
Ning Rongrong's face turned red as she continued, "Oh, Bone Grandpa, I am the one asking you questions now!"
Gu Rong sighed, "Alright, alright, there's no harm in telling you!"
"This time when we went to Martial Soul City, we did not see Xu Sheng, he wasn't even among those who participated in the Friendship Competition!"
What on earth had this damned Xu Sheng fed to his precious Rongrong?
Ning Rongrong's expression visibly collapsed, she said despondently, "Ah? How could that be? I really wanted to invite Xu Sheng to visit Seven Treasures Glaze Sect!"
Gu Rong couldn't help feeling a headache coming on, "Ah, this..."
That Xu Sheng is the Saint Heir of Martial Soul Hall, how could Pope Bibi Dong ever allow him to visit the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect that supports the royal household!
The fact that both parties hadn't immediately gone to war was already fortunate!
Chen Xin, who had been silently listening, clenched his fists, and said through gritted teeth to Ning Fengzhi, "Feng Zhi, I now think that the decisions of Hao Tian Clan and Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect are wrong!"
This guy, receiving such welcome from Rongrong, even surpassing me and Gu Rong!
He found it hard to accept!
Ning Fengzhi was stunned for a moment, also not expecting the latter to be jealous...
"Uncle Sword, it hasn't reached that point yet, right? Moreover, I have met that Xu Sheng before, he indeed is quite remarkable. Putting aside his stance, he is a very exceptional child!"
Bone Grandpa and Sword Grandpa, it seems that because of Rongrong, they have quite a grievance against that Xu Sheng!
But he could understand, after all, having raised his precious daughter for so long, for her to suddenly care about someone she hadn't known for long!
It was indeed quite disheartening!
Gu Rong reached out and gently ruffled Ning Rongrong's head, speaking softly, "Rongrong, Bone Grandpa has answered your questions, so behave and stay in the sect, don't cause trouble, understand?"
Ning Rongrong, with her head bowed, responded, "Yes, I understand!"
After speaking, she left, looking downcast...
"Eh, it seems Rongrong indeed has quite a fondness for that Xu Sheng, even proactively asking about him!"
"It's just unfortunate that Xu Sheng, as Saint Heir of Martial Soul Hall, couldn't possibly be on the same side as the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect!"
Tang Wulin cautioned, "Wu Siduo, you also can't say things like that, it could cause trouble if overheard!"
Gu Yue also nodded in agreement, "Yes, this place is supposed to be the Tang Sect's reception area for outsiders, we probably haven't reached Tang Sect's headquarters yet!"
While they were pondering, a Tang Sect disciple responsible for trading asked, "Are you here to conduct a trade?"
Unexpectedly, some children had come today, but as long as they were here for trading, Tang Sect had no reason to refuse!
