Seven Treasures Glaze Sect!
Gazing at the returning Ning Fengzhi and his group, Chen Xin carefully scanned each person, yet he did not find Ning Rongrong's figure...
Refusing to believe it, he even released his spiritual power to sense her presence, but he got the same result!
In an instant, furrows of frustration appeared on his forehead as he asked, deeply dissatisfied, "Old Bone, Feng Zhi, where is Ning Rongrong? Why do I not see her?"
Seeing this, the other disciples of the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect sensed that something unpleasant was afoot and began to find excuses to leave the area...
"Sect Master, Elder Bone Douluo, my soul power rank is about to break through, so I'll take my leave first!"
"I... I, too, better not get in the way here!"
"Uh, the sect has some new Soul Masters who want to join recently, and it just won't do without me there, I must hurry to take care of it!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Rong couldn't help but give them a glance...
But soon, he covered his mouth to cough and said, "Cough cough... Old friend, you need not be so agitated. Now that we've returned to the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect, Ning Rongrong is naturally fine."
Chen Xin squinted his eyes slightly, "I'm not asking whether Ning Rongrong is fine or not, but where is she right now? Old Bone, don't try to change the subject!"
"Could it be that something happened??"
Gu Rong instinctively retorted, "With me personally protecting her, what could possibly happen to Ning Rongrong? It's just that..."
The following few words, however, were delayed and didn't come out!
Chen Xin seemed to realize something, and his tone became even more serious, "Old Bone, tell me clearly what happened!!"
Gu Rong clenched his teeth, as if he did not hear, and turned his head to the side...
And he secretly passed a message to Ning Fengzhi, "Feng Zhi, it was you who consented to Ning Rongrong leaving the team on her own, you explain it to Chen Xin!!"
He was all too aware that the former's temper was even more volatile than his own; speaking out the truth might lead to a massive battle within the sect!
Ning Fengzhi's mouth twitched, but he did not retort...
He then turned his gaze to Chen Xin and said, "Uncle Sword, the truth is... Ning Rongrong didn't come back with us!"
Chen Xin's eyes widened in shock, exclaiming, "What? Are you saying you left Ning Rongrong alone at the Tiandou Empire Palace??"
"I will go retrieve her now!!"
Ning Fengzhi shook his head, "No... that's not it!"
Anger surged across Chen Xin's face, "Not it?? Feng Zhi, why are you talking like Old Bone, speaking in half sentences? Don't you know I have a bad temper?"
Ning Fengzhi swallowed hard and patiently explained, "Ning Rongrong is not in the palace; she went to another place on her own."
"But don't worry, she is accompanied by quite a few sect disciples!"
Chen Xin struggled to suppress the urge to act out, grinding his teeth as he said, "Feng Zhi, what am I to say to you? Those sect disciples are useless, last time they still let Ning Rongrong run off to Martial Soul City and barge into the Pope Hall!!"
"This time, you still don't learn from your mistake, you're not afraid the same thing will happen again?"
Ning Fengzhi did not feel intimidated but spoke with utmost trust, "Uncle Sword, over this period, you should have been able to sense that Ning Rongrong is no longer the same as before. The Ning Rongrong of now won't initiate trouble!"
Chen Xin clenched his fists, "Even so, you shouldn't just let a few disciples be responsible for protecting her, at the very least either I or Old Bone should accompany her!"
He knew the strength of the sect disciples all too well!
Seeing that the other's emotion had calmed down, Ning Fengzhi chuckled and said, "Rest assured, Uncle Sword, Ning Rongrong won't encounter any trouble. I promise you this in my capacity as the Sect Master!"
Chen Xin took a deep breath and focused on the former, "Fine, if Ning Rongrong... "
But before he could finish, Ning Fengzhi interrupted him once again...
"Uncle Sword, I know what you want to say, if Ning Rongrong encounters any trouble, I will take full responsibility!"
Chen Xin was momentarily stunned...
```
This guy, how did he even guess what I was going to say next!
Gu Rong then went over and patted his shoulder, "Since Feng Zhi has said so, you can be at ease too. After all, when I first heard about it, I was just like you, but after thinking it over carefully, we really should let Rongrong become independent!"
"After all, we might not always be able to protect her by her side!"
Chen Xin abruptly came back to his senses and scoffed, "Fine, fine, fine, whatever you say makes sense, I can't be bothered with you all!"
After saying that, he turned his back and left alone...
Gu Rong breathed a sigh of relief, clapped his hands and said, "Looks like that guy has calmed down. If he were to make a scene, our Seven Treasures Glaze Sect would be turned upside down!!"
Ning Fengzhi couldn't help but roll his eyes and retorted, "Uncle Bone, when it comes to that, I don't think you're much better!"
Ever since the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect became one of the upper three families, basically no one dared to offend them!
But the sect's buildings have undergone reconstruction many times!
It was all caused by the battles between Gu Rong and Chen Xin!
Gu Rong glanced at him, "Feng Zhi, you dare to talk back to me. If anything happens to Rongrong, I won't let you off either!"
After snorting, he too turned around and left...
Leaving only Ning Fengzhi alone, smiling bitterly on the spot...
"Uncle Bone and Uncle Sword really do have the same temperament," he said.
But soon, he realized something...
"No, I still have something very important to discuss with them. How could they just leave??"
...
The next day!
One of the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect disciples came outside the room, knocked on the door slowly, then said in an extremely respectful tone, "Bone Douluo, Sword Douluo, the Sect Master has summoned you to the main hall for an urgent matter!"
Chen Xin, who was sitting on the ground cultivating, opened his left eye, then quickly closed it again...
He suddenly said bluntly, "I'm not going, Old Bones, you go!!"
Gu Rong, hearing this, just replied indifferently, "If you're not going, why should I? If anyone should go, it's you!"
After saying that, the two of them just sat there on the ground, ignoring each other...
The disciple outside, not getting a response for a long time, said again, "Um, Bone Douluo, Sword Douluo??"
Chen Xin, annoyed, scolded, "Stop being so annoying, tell Feng Zhi we're not going, let him deal with it himself!"
Gu Rong echoed, "Yeah, we would just be there to listen to him whine, no need to bother!"
The disciple was in a dilemma, cautiously reminding them, "But, the Sect Master said you must go!"
"He says it's about that Xu Sheng from the Martial Soul Hall!"
Almost instantly, both Chen Xin and Gu Rong opened their eyes...
They burst open the door and, disregarding the disciple in front of them, flew towards the main hall...
The latter was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but wonder, "I don't know who this Xu Sheng is, he's probably not from our sect? He was able to make the two elders change their attitudes so quickly, he must be really impressive!!"
