Chapter 3077 Understanding Details_1
Chen Xin and Gu Rong exchanged a glance, seemingly reading each other's thoughts...
The former coughed and said, "Feng Zhi, why don't we have Qing He come back for a bit? As his teacher, it wouldn't be too much for you to do that, right?"
The corners of Ning Fengzhi's mouth twitched, "This... It's not that it can't be done, but sending someone to the imperial palace to inform him at this time, isn't the purpose a bit too obvious?"
Gu Rong earnestly cajoled, "What's the problem? Of all the upper three families, it's our Seven Treasures Glaze Sect that's closest to the royal household. It's perfectly normal to want to know about the recent events at the imperial palace!"
Ning Fengzhi hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Fine... I'll send someone to contact Qing He and have him come to the sect!"
"However, considering Emperor Xue Ye's personality, I'm afraid we'll need to send someone from our side to meet him!"
Chen Xin waved his hand, speaking with boldness, "What's the problem? Old Bones, I'll trouble you to make a trip to the imperial palace then!"
Gu Rong's eyes widened in disbelief, he rebuked angrily, "What?? Why me? Why don't you go??"
Chen Xin puffed out his chest, explaining, "Since this was my suggestion, it's only right for you to go. Besides, I don't have a good impression of those people at the imperial palace!"
Gu Rong immediately retorted, "As if I have a good impression. You go if you want, but I'm not going!"
After speaking, both of them turned their heads to one side, clearly finding the task troublesome...
Ning Fengzhi couldn't help shaking his head and sighed, "Eh... Well, since Uncle Sword and Uncle Bone are unwilling to go, I'll go to the imperial palace myself then."
With that said, he stood up...
Seeing this, Chen Xin slightly furrowed his brow, "This... Old Bones, can you really bear to let a Sect Master with no combat ability go to the imperial palace alone?"
Gu Rong sneered, "Heh, look at you talking. In that case, this task is yours. I'll stay at the sect and accompany Ning Rongrong!"
Just then, Ning Rongrong suddenly burst in...
Excitedly, she hugged Ning Fengzhi's arm, "Dad, I also want to go to the imperial palace to have a look, I hardly got to explore last time!"
Ning Fengzhi was taken aback and objected, "No, the imperial palace could also be filled with people from other forces now, it's very dangerous!"
They wouldn't hesitate to kill even a prince, let alone others!
Chen Xin's eyes darted around, changing his earlier stance, "Feng Zhi, what's the problem? I'll accompany you, I don't believe anyone would dare to make a move then!"
Although reluctant, considering his own Ning Rongrong wanted to go, he had to change his mind!
Gu Rong saw right through his intent and interrupted, "You're so old, can you really protect Ning Rongrong? Better stay and watch over the sect. I'll go!!"
"Besides, I have Spatial Soul Skill. If anything goes wrong, I can leave the imperial palace in an instant!"
Seeing his plot thwarted, Chen Xin finally could not hold back and stood up...
"Old Bones, it seems you're itching for a fight today, eh?"
Gu Rong was not to be outdone, patting his chest and declared, "Let's fight then. You think I'm afraid of you??"
"Zzzzzz!!"
The gazes they exchanged were filled with thick hostility...
Ning Fengzhi covered his forehead, "Rongrong... who do you think should go, Uncle Sword or Uncle Bone?"
Ning Rongrong blinked, "I think Uncle Bone should go. Just like he said, he can leave immediately if something goes wrong!"
Hearing this, a look of triumph appeared on Gu Rong's face, "See? Ning Rongrong didn't ask for you to go!"
In contrast, Chen Xin's heart felt as though it had been stabbed, he said through clenched teeth, "Rongrong, are you saying that I can't protect you and Feng Zhi?"
Ning Rongrong giggled, explaining, "Of course not. Guarding the sect is the most important thing. With Sword Grandpa here, there'll be no problem!"
Chen Xin felt much better inside, "That's more like it!"
"But this time, let's forget it. Let's have Old Bones accompany you!"
This actually left Gu Rong a bit puzzled, "Oh, you're actually willing to refuse proactively?"
Chen Xin blatantly ignored his provocation, speaking solemnly, "Lately, there have been strange auras appearing around our Seven Treasures Glaze Sect, as if spying on us. It's a good opportunity to investigate!"
If it's a soul beast, we still need to clear them out in advance!
Lest they harm the Sect Disciples in the future!
Ning Fengzhi nodded in understanding, "Then Uncle Sword, I entrust the sect to you. Ning Rongrong, Uncle Bone, let's get ready and set out!"
The sooner it's resolved, the sooner we can return!
...
The next day!
Looking at the increasingly robust soul power aura of Xu Sheng, Evil Moon smacked his lips and said, "Xu Sheng, if I'm not sensing wrong, it seems you have made another breakthrough?"
It's fine for them to breakthrough quickly since they haven't even reached Soul Elder status!
But Xu Sheng is a Titled Douluo, each level up should take years, maybe even decades!
This difference is a bit too exaggerated!
Xu Sheng showed a trace of surprise, but soon softly replied, "Yeah, I fortunately made a breakthrough!"
Evil Moon was actually able to notice the improvement in my soul power aura...
It seems that his spiritual power is quite impressive!
Flame swallowed and surveyed Xu Sheng from head to toe before exclaiming in disbelief, "Is that true or false? How long has it been since your last breakthrough?"
"If it keeps on like this, wouldn't it be possible to become an Ultimate Douluo level existence before even turning twenty?"
Evil Moon, however, countered, "Flame, you are underestimating Xu Sheng's talent. If he continues to cultivate at this pace, he might reach Limit Douluo before turning fifteen!"
Hulena sighed helplessly and thought to herself, "Xu Sheng is indeed powerful. I thought I was getting closer, but instead, I've been left so far behind!"
Xu Sheng naturally noticed her slight change in mood, "Nana, you seem to be sighing?"
Hulena suddenly snapped out of it, and awkwardly laughed, "No, no, I'm happy about your breakthrough, Xu Sheng!"
He's so outstanding, can I really be a match for him?
This question inevitably arose in her heart!
Xu Sheng reached out and ruffled her hair, then quickly let go...
"Don't worry, Nana, even if my strength increases, I'm still a member of the Spirit Hall Golden Generation and won't leave you all," he said.
Hulena's mind went blank...
"Eh... Eh??"
He... He won't leave me?
Could it be that Xu Sheng picked up on my feelings?
And that's why he said such things on purpose?
She quickly bowed her head and whispered softly, "Xu... Xu Sheng, do you also have feelings for..."
However, before she could finish, Flame interrupted, "Xu Sheng, I feel like my strength has increased a lot recently, why not spar with me?"
"Of course, you must suppress your soul power rank to the same level as mine!!"
Having said that, he pulled Xu Sheng away...
The realization hitting Hulena, she could only stamp her feet in vexation several times...
"Flame, you big dummy!"
