Ning Liu's heart skipped a beat.

This was the first time he had ever faced such a situation!

He could feel the pressure emanating from Ning Fengzhi; it was the aura of a superior, and it carried a hint of hidden greed.

The allure of the Nine-Jeweled Glazed Pagoda is indeed irresistible.

His mind raced with thoughts.

The opponent was the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, with two titled Douluo, Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo, behind him.

On their side, although Xu Jiushi is a level 96 Power Attack-type Title Douluo, his chances of winning against two opponents are slim.

Moreover, Ning Fengzhi is the number one support-type Soul Master in Douluo Continent.

Although his martial soul had evolved to be stronger than his opponent's, he was only a Soul King at the moment!

If I were to actually take action, I'm afraid I would still be at risk!

However, he wasn't without any trump cards.

In his system space, there lies a 100,000-year-old soul beast, the Golden-Eyed Sky-Splitting Tiger, which he can summon at any time!

When it really comes down to a fight to the death, it's hard to say who's afraid of whom.

As for the impact being too great, making subsequent auctions impossible? Hmph, so what!

Now that I have a solid foundation, I can find a place to cultivate properly even without the system!

Once he reaches the Title Douluo level and rebuilds his power, who will be able to stop him?

Ning Liu calmed down and looked at Ning Fengzhi.

In his mind, although Ning Fengzhi was the leader of a sect, he was always kind and benevolent, and should not be so shameless as to snatch it on the spot!

Perhaps, there's still a chance!

"dad......"

Ning Rongrong said again in a trembling voice.

Ning Fengzhi's aura suddenly froze, as if he had been doused with a bucket of cold water.

Looking at his daughter, who stood in front of Ning Liu with a look of fear yet stubbornness, the heat and greed in his heart instantly dissipated.

What is he doing?

Is it right to take action against one's own sect's disciples just because of a vague and unfounded legend?

When did I become so narrow-minded and petty?

Ning Fengzhi sighed deeply, and the oppressive aura emanating from him slowly subsided, returning to its gentle state.

"Rongrong, Daddy didn't mean to do anything."

He said softly.

Upon seeing this, Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo also withdrew their soul power.

The two exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of helplessness in each other's eyes.

Sect Master, you still admire talent too much.

However, that makes sense, since this is the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda after all. If it can be resolved peacefully, that would naturally be the best outcome.

Ning Fengzhi turned to Ning Liu, his face showing apology.

"Ning Liu, I'm sorry to have startled you."

"I lost my composure earlier."

"The appearance of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda is of great significance to my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. I was momentarily blinded by it."

His tone was sincere.

I will not covet your opportunity.

"As long as I am here, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will not be able to do it!"

Upon hearing this, Ning Liu breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Immediately afterwards, Ning Fengzhi made an even more shocking decision to Ning Liu.

"Ning Liu, the long-cherished wish of my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will be fulfilled through you."

"If you are willing, from this day forward, you will be the next successor to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School!"

"What?"

Ning Liu was completely stunned.

Successor to the sect leader?

That turn was way too fast!

"dad!"

Ning Rongrong was stunned for a moment, then jumped up and down in frustration.

"Didn't you promise me that I would be the female sect leader?"

How could you go back on your word!

Ning Fengzhi smiled slightly but did not explain.

Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo both had knowing expressions.

The sect leader's move was brilliant.

Although Ning Liu was only a disciple of a collateral branch, he possessed the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda, making him the most legitimate heir.

As long as the sect leader and the two titled Douluo fully support them, who in the sect would dare to have any objections?

Who could possibly object?

Ning Liu snapped out of his daze and quickly bowed.

"I am unworthy of the sect leader's kindness."

"What virtue or ability do I possess to dare to compete with Rongrong for the position of sect leader?"

Ning Fengzhi waved his hand.

"If you don't want to take it on for the time being, then there's no rush, we can discuss it later."

He looked at Ning Liu with a gentle yet expectant gaze.

"However, please rest assured that no matter what happens, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will always be your strongest support."

"Come back to the sect with me. Soto City is too small and not a place for you to stay for long."

Ning Liu's heart stirred.

This is indeed the Ning Sect Master he knows!

The entire sect became his backing...

For me at this stage, this is definitely a good thing!

As for returning to the sect?

That won't do.

His system was bound to the Soto City, a Class D auction house.

"Thank you for your kindness, Sect Master."

Ning Liu politely declined.

"This disciple cannot leave Soto City for the time being."

Ning Fengzhi frowned slightly, as if he wanted to ask something, but ultimately held back.

"Since that's the case, I won't force you."

"But what are your plans next?"

Ning Liu smiled slightly, cleverly changing the subject.

"The sect leader values ​​me so highly, I have no way to repay him."

"This disciple has three small gifts to offer to the sect."

"Oh? Three gifts?"

Ning Rongrong's eyes lit up, and she immediately moved closer.

"Senior brother, I want all three gifts too!"

Ning Liu playfully pinched her little nose.

"Wasn't that Moonlit Rabbit Armor a gift for you?"

"I don't care!"

Ning Rongrong pouted and started to act spoiled.
