Chapter 99 Xue Qinghe Invites Again, Qin Xiao Pulls Ning Fengzhi into the Water_2

```

What does he want with me?

With such doubt in mind, Qin Xiao opened the letter in front of Liu Erlong.

The content took him by surprise.

Simply put, Xue Qinghe wanted to invite Qin Xiao to a joint dinner, with important matters to discuss.

Could it be that he, like the Hao Tian Clan, wishes to dispose of me swiftly?

This thought crossed Qin Xiao's mind instantly.

But then...

On second thought, it seemed impossible.

"She should be aware that the power of the Tiandou Empire is simply not enough to eliminate me. If the experts from the Martial Soul Hall take action, wouldn't that just expose her identity? Instead of going through such complications, it would be easier to have the people from the Martial Soul Hall directly make their move against me,"

After weighing his options secretly, Qin Xiao could almost confirm that Xue Qinghe wouldn't be foolish enough to attack him.

Of course, while he could guess their intentions, his vigilance did not diminish at all.

"If soldiers come, use a general to block them; if water comes, use earth to cover it. Let's deal with the Hao Tian Clan's issue first, then I'll see what kind of tricks Xue Qinghe is up to,"

Qin Xiao thought to himself, and with a flick of his hand, the letter turned into flying ash.

Then he looked at the bewildered Liu Erlong and asked in confusion, "What is it, President Liu, do you have anything else to say?"

"Ah.."

"Yes, yes, I do."

After being prompted by Qin Xiao, Liu Erlong finally came back to her senses, and asked somewhat awkwardly, "Your Highness, do you still remember the matter I discussed with you before..."

Are you talking about helping that useless Yu Xiaogang?

Qin Xiao understood Liu Erlong's intentions in a flash and a playful smile appeared on his lips, "President Liu, I've already told you this before, whether I take action or not is up to you, not up to me."

"Ah, this..."

Liu Erlong opened her lips slightly, at a loss for what to say.

Following that, she stared blankly as Qin Xiao's figure walked further and further away.

However, her heart was full of hesitation, "Xiaogang, we'll have to wait for you to decide on this matter."

...

The Seven Treasures Glaze Sect was just a hundred miles away from Tiandou City.

For Qin Xiao, such a distance was nothing.

However, out of respect for the Seven Treasures Glazing Tile Sect, he did not choose to fly directly there. Instead, he landed at the base of the mountain and began walking up the path.

"Halt!

At the mountain gate, seven or eight sect disciples saw Qin Xiao and immediately called out to stop him.

Subsequently, a slender sect disciple, after sizing Qin Xiao up, said very politely, "Hello, you seem like you want to join the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, right? You've come at the wrong time. On the last day of every month, there are special people who test those who wish to join the sect."

People like Qin Xiao, he had seen plenty of them.

Most were here to seek shelter from the sect.

Heh, worthy of a sect led by Ning Fengzhi. Even the sect disciples are so amicable... Qin Xiao chuckled secretly to himself and said, "I think you have misunderstood. I am not here to seek refuge or join the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. I am here to find someone."

To find someone?

The slender disciple frowned, "The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect is so vast, finding someone won't be easy. Please tell me his name, identity, and which department he belongs to first, and we can try to help you pass on a message."

"That should be unnecessary,"

Qin Xiao shook his head slightly, "I am here to look for your Sect Master Ning. Just say that an old friend, Qin Xiao, has come to visit and please convey the message."

Having said that, he cupped his fist in respect.

In contrast, the many disciples at the gate fell silent.

But from the expressions on their faces, they clearly didn't believe him.

What kind of person is Ning Fengzhi? Given his age and vast experience, could he have an old friend as young as this fellow in front of them?

Even if they racked their brains, it seemed impossible to them.

"Brother, you're taking it too far. We've been polite to you all this while, why would you deceive us?"

"This joke isn't funny at all,"

At this moment, the slender disciple said with a furrowed brow.

"Hmm?"

"I'm not joking,"

Startled, Qin Xiao quickly read the crowd's thoughts.

Indeed, he looked like a green youth, not a disciple from a major sect. It would be hard for anyone to believe he was acquainted with Ning Fengzhi.

However, the truth was indeed so astonishing...

He couldn't help but shake his head. Never mind, I'll have to invite Ning Fengzhi out myself.

Thinking this, he called out in a deep voice, "Qin Xiao is here for a visit, please grant me an audience, Sect Master Ning!"

Qin Xiao is here for a visit, please grant me an audience, Sect Master Ning!

His voice carried a robust Soul Power, allowing it to reach very far.

Loud enough for the entire Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect to hear him clearly.

```

```

"How dare you raise your voice at the gates of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect!"

"Kid, you've gone too far!"

At this time, the disciples standing at the gate also realized what was happening, their faces showing anger and shock.

Even more, bursts of immense Soul Power erupted, and numerous Soul Rings emerged at their feet.

Qin Xiao looked on and could not help but laugh, exclaiming, "The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect really is wealthy, even the disciples guarding the gate are Soul Elders?"

That was no sarcasm.

After all, Soul Elder experts could obtain noble titles within the great empires and kingdoms.

Here, they were merely gatekeepers.

This indeed confirmed the old saying, "Money makes the mare go."

"However, it would be wise for you all to remain calm," he said.

As Qin Xiao's voice fell, an aura powerful enough to dominate the entire area exploded forth.

The many Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect disciples in front of the gate were rooted to the spot, as if stuck in a quagmire, unable to move.

...

Elsewhere.

In the Sect Main Hall of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.

Ning Fengzhi sat in the seat of honor.

Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo were seated below him, on the left and right sides respectively.

Sword Douluo furrowed his brow and asked, "Sect Master, where on earth did Qin Xiao go? He's been gone for over a month now?"

"Yes, ever since Qin Xiao left, Rongrong came back from the academy and she hasn't said a word. She locked herself in her room, without a thought for study or food, she's lost weight..." Bone Douluo said with a look of distress, "Sect Master, you have to think of something."

Hearing Bone Douluo's words, Ning Fengzhi's face also showed helplessness, "Uncle Bone, you are not unaware that I have sent people to investigate Qin Xiao's whereabouts, but it's as if he's evaporated from the world..."

"There's nothing I can do at the moment. But when Qin Xiao left, he did say he would come back. We must wait patiently," he said.

However.

No sooner had he finished speaking than a voice transmitted into the Sect Main Hall.

Qin Xiao is visiting, respectfully requesting an audience with Sect Master Ning!

Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo were all startled.

Soon after, Ning Fengzhi laughed and said, "Haha, Uncle Jian, Uncle Bone, look, hasn't he arrived?"

"Let's go and welcome him now, so as not to let our guest become impatient."

Saying this, he led the way out of the hall.

...

With the assistance of Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo, it didn't take long for Ning Fengzhi to arrive at the gate.

The three of them saw Qin Xiao outside the gate, surrounded by many tensely poised disciples.

"I didn't know Brother Qin had come from afar, my apologies for not greeting you sooner. Please do not take offense, Brother Qin," said Ning Fengzhi, cupping his hands towards Qin Xiao from a distance, an apologetic look on his face.

Uncle Bone scoffed and said, "What are you all doing? He is a distinguished guest of our Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. Put away your Martial Souls immediately!"

"What?"

"Is this young man really a close acquaintance of the Sect Master and the Elders?"

"How old is he? How could he receive such high regard from the Sect Master and Elders!"

In fact, those disciples at the gate were already shocked when Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo arrived.

They could never have imagined that the words of the youth, who looked even younger than them, were actually true!

"Well, what are you still standing there for?" Bone Douluo snorted again.

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

The Sect Disciples hurriedly withdrew their Martial Souls and Soul Rings.

One second longer, and they feared Qin Xiao would feel disrespected.

After this, they all bowed their heads, not daring to look at Qin Xiao.

"Sect Master Ning is too kind," Qin Xiao said, returning the gesture with a fist and palm salute, "I would not visit the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect without important matters to discuss."

He spoke directly to the point.

By contrast, Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo were all taken aback.

Important matters?

...

Clearing his throat.

I have something to tell everyone, no more pretending, I'm laying it out: I wrote "Selling Jars in Douluo," please support it, dear readers. Thank you.
