Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
Ning Fengzhi sat in the sect leader's seat, put down the letter in his hand, and gently rubbed his throbbing head, seemingly lost in thought.
Only when his gaze turned to the side, watching the two Douluo, Jian Gu and a little girl with delicate pink and white skin playing around, would his expression soften slightly.
"Fengzhi, what's bothering you again?"
Sword Douluo Chen Xin's voice came through, clearly indicating that he had noticed Ning Fengzhi's unusual behavior.
"This is a message from the royal family, and I'm hesitating whether to go or not."
Ning Fengzhi made no attempt to hide anything and handed the letter in his hand directly to Chen Xin.
After scanning the text ten lines at a glance, Chen Xin raised his eyebrows slightly.
"The Spirit Hall dispatched five Douluo to clear out the Star Dou Great Forest and Kangdun City, on the grounds that they discovered Kangdun City was colluding with spirit beasts?"
The collusion between the city lord and the soul beast is not uncommon.
After ten thousand years of cultivation, soul beasts possess intelligence comparable to humans, not to mention soul beasts that are even more advanced, having reached the level of one hundred thousand years.
The city lords are generally not very strong, and they are often the weaker party when they encounter ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts.
With the support of the city lord, ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts and their clans can develop more quickly; this often happens around the Star Dou Great Forest.
Although it happens frequently, the fact that the Spirit Hall dispatched five Title Douluos clearly indicates that it's not an ordinary occurrence.
"Feng Zhi, I think the message above is that they want either me or Lao Gu to make a trip. No matter what the Spirit Hall wants to do, I'll still go," Chen Xin said after reading the message.
"Where is Grandpa Sword going? Take me with you!"
The little girl not far away heard Chen Xin's words, and her bright eyes darted around, clearly plotting something.
"Rongrong, that's not a place for you. Let your Grandpa Gu play with you for a while."
When speaking to the little girl, Chenxin's voice softened considerably.
This little girl is Ning Rongrong, Ning Fengzhi's only daughter and the apple of the eye of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
"Why! I want to go!"
"Rongrong, listen to me, it's dangerous there!" Chenxin patiently comforted her.
"Hmph, Grandpa Sword just wants to play by himself. Grandpa Sword is the worst! From now on, I'll only play with Grandpa Bone!"
Ning Rongrong huffed twice in anger, then quickly ran back to Bone Douluo's side, whispering something to him, and occasionally making faces at Chen Xin and Ning Fengzhi.
Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin both knew Ning Rongrong's temperamental nature and knew that she would soon return to her previous state. So they didn't think too much about it and continued to talk about serious matters.
“Uncle Jian, actually, it’s not just the Spirit Hall; I have another invitation here.”
Since they had already spoken frankly, Ning Fengzhi handed another invitation letter to Chen Xin.
“Notting City? That’s where the Crown Prince stays, isn’t it?” Chen Xin frowned.
He hadn't expected that Crown Prince Xue Qinghe would invite the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to visit.
The letter expressed gratitude for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's support, and invited the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, as a half-host, to visit the Grand Soul Arena, which was about to be completed.
There was nothing wrong with the invitation letter. Ning Fengzhi had been trying to ease tensions with the Crown Prince, and Chen Xin had known about it all along.
The Notting Grand Soul Arena was the result of negotiations between the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the other party.
Nominally belonging to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, they only hold the title and are not responsible for management. The real managers are the forces under that prince. The Great Soul Arena built is of the royal city level, only weaker than the Imperial Capital Great Soul Arena of Star Luo and Heaven Dou. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School also contributed a lot of money to it.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School even held negotiations with the Spirit Hall over this matter.
The Spirit Hall occupied the share of the Great Spirit Arena that the Clear Sky Sect once occupied, and it was the one that most resolutely opposed Notting City's independent management of the Great Spirit Arena.
If it weren't for the opposition from the Spirit Hall, the management rights of a newly built Great Spirit Arena wouldn't have been contested for so long.
“The Crown Prince invited me several times a long time ago, and this letter was sent to me a month ago, but I have been hesitating,” Ning Fengzhi said.
[I highly recommend Yeguo Reading; it's really good for tracking books. You can download it here: yeguoyuedu. Give it a try!]
Upon hearing these words, Chen Xin looked enlightened.
Ning Fengzhi's words had two meanings.
Firstly, the Crown Prince's actions have nothing to do with the Spirit Hall's actions; they differ in timing and frequency, and the Crown Prince has no need to get involved with the Spirit Hall.
On another level, Ning Fengzhi was asking Chen Xin what she thought. If they really went to Notting City, then the news that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School supported the Crown Prince would inevitably spread.
In the past, when the position of crown prince was determined, this would not have been a big problem.
However, the Crown Prince has been away from Tiandou City for many years and has no influence here. It is very likely that Emperor Xueye has long disliked him and there is a risk that he will be abandoned.
"Fengzhi, from what we've seen, the Crown Prince is a good choice, and besides, the royal family is in a lot of turmoil right now..."
Even Chen Xin shook his head when the royal family was mentioned, his face full of disapproval.
"Yes, the Third Prince Xueyan, who has great talent for cultivation, died tragically. Who knows if there will be another one?" Ning Fengzhi sighed.
A lot has happened in Tiandou City recently, which is why the Tiandou royal family doesn't send people to monitor the Spirit Hall themselves.
When the Third Prince was hunting for spirit rings, he and his guardian were both tragically killed by spirit beasts.
It is said that he died tragically in the mouth of a soul beast, but Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin both went to see the scene, so it can be confirmed that it was done by humans.
I just don't know which prince, or which force, was behind it...
Ning Fengzhi's mind flashed between the intelligent Second Prince and the dissolute Fourth Prince. It wasn't that he favored the First Prince, but rather that the First Prince was the one with the least motive.
