= Heaven Dou Imperial Palace!
Ning Fengzhi and Bone Douluo were sincere in their attitude,requesting an audience with Qian Renxue.
In the past,given Ning Fengzhi's status,apart from the emperor's bedchamber and the imperial harem,he could freely enter and leave the entire imperial palace.
With the title of the crown prince's teacher,even princesses and nobles had to show him due respect.
But now,Ning Fengzhi could no longer move about as unhindered as before.
The imperial palace was filled with Spirit Hall's soul masters.
No matter who it was,without Qian Renxue's decree,they could not set foot inside.
"Sect Master Ning,what is your purpose in coming here this time?"
"If you're here for Emperor Xue Ye,I advise you not to get involved in these muddy waters."
"Otherwise you'll bring trouble upon yourself,and get yourself killed."
Snake Lance Douluo blocked the doorway,warning him with an unfriendly expression.
Many people knew about Ning Fengzhi's relationship with the Heaven Dou imperial family.
Anyone with eyes could tell that Ning Fengzhi wanted to stand together with the Heaven Dou Empire.
Bone Douluo frowned slightly.
"She Long,our purpose has nothing to do with you."
"Don't forget your own status!"
"We came here to see your master!"
"You'd better not ask for trouble."
Bone Douluo did not take a mere Snake Lance Douluo seriously at all.
If Ning Fengzhi had not come this time to ease relations with Spirit Hall.
Bone Douluo definitely would not have been polite to Snake Lance Douluo.
"Insolent!"
Snake Lance Douluo's expression darkened.
As an elder of Spirit Hall.
Snake Lance Douluo naturally could not accept Bone Douluo acting so arrogantly.
Although his strength was inferior to the other party's.
He represented Spirit Hall.
If a fight broke out,someone from Spirit Hall would naturally step in.
"Teacher,long time no see."
"If you wish to see me,Xue'er naturally welcomes you."
Just as the atmosphere became tense,Qian Renxue's voice,slowly came from the distance.
Ning Fengzhi looked toward the sound.
And saw Qian Renxue walking through the air.
Like a true angel.
Qian Renxue bore Ning Fengzhi no ill will,and still treated him with courtesy.
Although over these years,the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had often opposed Spirit Hall.
Ning Fengzhi had after all taught Qian Renxue for many years.
Qian Renxue had not forgotten the bond between teacher and student.
If possible,Qian Renxue would rather coexist peacefully with Ning Fengzhi.
Snake Lance Douluo saw Qian Renxue appear.
He slowly stepped back behind her,and said no more.
Snake Lance Douluo knew the rules.
Bone Douluo also reined in his temper,returning center stage to Ning Fengzhi and Qian Renxue.
"This Ning greets the young master of the Qian clan!"
Ning Fengzhi did not dare regard himself as her teacher.
He knew very clearly,Qian Renxue was not Xue Qinghe.
And thus was no longer his disciple.
Qian Renxue's expression did not change,but she sighed.
"Teacher,why be like this."
Qian Renxue still gave Ning Fengzhi the respect he deserved.
If possible,she hoped Ning Fengzhi would not be so distant.
"Teacher,for the sake of our many years of teacher-student affection,if you're willing,you can call me Xiao Xue."
Qian Renxue sent out a friendly signal.
Ning Fengzhi smiled faintly.
Qian Renxue's shrewdness,was as formidable as ever.
But this was good too.
He had not come this time to become enemies with Spirit Hall either.
Since Qian Renxue took the initiative to show goodwill,Ning Fengzhi went along with it.
"Since that's the case,then we'll do as you say,"
"Xiao Xue,my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is willing to form an alliance with Spirit Hall."
"I came here this time,precisely to discuss this matter with you."
Ning Fengzhi got straight to the point.
Now the Clear Sky Sect had already been destroyed.
And the Heaven Dou Empire had been brought under Spirit Hall's control single-handedly.
Even if some people were unwilling to submit,they could not stir up much trouble.
Ning Fengzhi knew this clearly.
Spirit Hall's next target would either be the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan,or the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
As a smart man,Ning Fengzhi could no longer sit back and wait for death.
"Teacher,do you truly mean that?"
"If you're truly willing to establish good relations with Spirit Hall,I naturally welcome it."
Qian Renxue was somewhat surprised.
She had not expected,Ning Fengzhi to break from his usual behavior,and proactively propose an alliance with Spirit Hall.
She had thought,Ning Fengzhi would insist on opposing Spirit Hall for the sake of the Heaven Dou imperial family,until one side was dead.
"Young Master,Ning Fengzhi's words cannot be trusted lightly."
"This man is an old fox,perhaps he's hiding some other purpose."
"It's possible he's using an alliance as a pretense,when in fact he wants to rescue Emperor Xue Ye."
Snake Lance Douluo was extremely vigilant.
He reminded Qian Renxue not to let Ning Fengzhi's words lull her into carelessness.
Ning Fengzhi had always been in the same boat as the Heaven Dou Empire.
How could such a sudden change of stance be trusted lightly.
Bone Douluo heard this,and immediately became displeased.
"She Long,if you want to pick a fight,I don't mind battling you."
Ning Fengzhi had made this decision only after great determination.
If there had been any other choice.
They would never have boarded Spirit Hall's pirate ship.
"Gu Rong,don't think I'm afraid of you."
"Since you want to fight,I'll accompany you to the end."
Snake Lance Douluo refused to back down.
He had long found the other party unpleasant.
He had not forgotten the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's past opposition to Spirit Hall.
Ever since the Clear Sky Sect withdrew from the world.
Ning Fengzhi had been the most conspicuous.
"She Long,you step back first!"
Qian Renxue waved her hand.
Stopping this meaningless conflict.
She would keep Snake Lance Douluo's warning in mind.
But if Ning Fengzhi truly wanted to cause trouble right under their noses,that would simply be carrying a lantern into a latrine,looking for death.
One had to know,Qian Daoliu was currently inside this very imperial palace.
If Ning Fengzhi dared harbor any crooked thoughts.
He definitely would not make it out of Heaven Dou City!
Qian Daoliu could slap Ning Fengzhi to death with one hand.
Ning Fengzhi was merely a level 79 Soul Saint.
If he did not rely on Bone Douluo's protection.
Even Qian Renxue could completely crush him.
"Teacher,if you're willing to submit to Spirit Hall."
"Spirit Hall naturally won't treat you unfairly."
"If you're willing,I can reselect the Seven Great Sects,and make you the head of the new Seven Great Sects."
"You should know,the Clear Sky Sect has already been eradicated by my Spirit Hall."
"Before long,this news will spread across the entire continent."
"Teacher you're a smart man,you surely know what choice is the most correct path."
Qian Renxue's tone was calm.
But Ning Fengzhi could tell,her words contained both threats and inducements.
"Xiao Xue,I,Ning Fengzhi,understand that a wise man submits to circumstances."
"If I were all alone,perhaps I wouldn't do this."
"But I represent the entire sect!"
"Everything I think and consider,must be for the sake of the sect."
"You don't need to harbor doubts about me."
"Because I would never gamble with the sect's future."
Ning Fengzhi spoke very frankly.
He used the sect as his reason,so even if he submitted under Spirit Hall in the future,no one could say he was greedy for life and afraid of death.
Because Ning Fengzhi had made this decision for the sake of the sect.
Qian Renxue believed him seventy percent.
For Ning Fengzhi to have this kind of awareness,could indeed save a great deal of trouble.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect carried considerable weight.
If they truly wanted to destroy the other party,it would not be so easy.
However Qian Renxue would still remain wary of Ning Fengzhi.
As the saying goes one can never be too careful.
Before she completely trusted Ning Fengzhi.
Qian Renxue would never fully believe him.
