Chapter 422 Ning Fengzhi's Dilemma
You should know that when they were subordinate to the Haotian Sect, the disciples of the Haotian Sect were arrogant and domineering. These affiliated families were really unlucky. They did the hardest work, but were still bullied by the Haotian Sect members. If they hadn't been so badly defeated by those bastards from the Haotian Sect, they would have rebelled long ago.
Although they are not valued now, as long as the clansmen are not lazy, they can still make a living. For example, the Min clan takes on the responsibility of transporting letters and some light goods in the Ice Palace.
The Yu clan became bricklayers there, helping the Ice Palace build houses. If the Ice Palace had nothing to do, they could also find work outside in the name of the Ice Palace. Due to the power of the Ice Palace, as long as the buildings they built were of good quality, no one dared to default on their debts.
As for the Po Clan, they continue to make and sell medicine as before. Of course, after joining the Ice Palace, the Po Clan doesn't need to worry about the source of medicinal materials or the sales channels. The merchants under the Ice Palace will handle everything for them. They only need to honestly make medicine and cultivate.
After Ning Fengzhi arrived in the territories of the Min, Yu, and Po families, he saw the prosperous scene of the three families today, which was in stark contrast to the miserable life he had experienced during the two years when he was abandoned by the Haotian Sect and suppressed by the Spirit Hall.
Ning Fengzhi and Bone Douluo didn't go inside. Instead, they wandered around the territories of the three major families before Bone Douluo led him away. Upon returning to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Bone Douluo asked, somewhat puzzled, "Fengzhi, weren't you going to visit the Yu, Min, and Po families? Why did you suddenly change your mind?"
"The Min, Yu, and Po families are not the core forces of the Ice Palace. In addition, they live and work in peace and contentment in the Ice Palace, and their lives are relatively good. If we visit them, we won't get any useful information. On the contrary, it may make the people of the Ice Palace think that we are secretly plotting something, which would be a loss."
"All right!"
Bone Douluo somewhat understood Ning Fengzhi's concerns. After all, the three major families lived comfortably within the Ice Palace's sphere of influence, with no worries about food or clothing. To ensure their own quality of life, they wouldn't speak out about anything unusual happening in the Ice Palace. This was the so-called "minding one's own business."
No sooner had Bone Douluo finished saying "good" than Sword Douluo flew in on his sword. The moment he saw Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo asked, "What price does the Ice Palace demand?"
Ning Fengzhi glanced at Sword Douluo, then thought of the oath he had made earlier and the sense of constraint it brought, before saying, "I haven't decided whether I want to pay this price yet. As for the details of the price, it's a bit inconvenient for you to tell me, Uncle Sword!"
Sword Douluo was also somewhat bewildered by Ning Fengzhi's words. Then, Sword Douluo turned his gaze to Bone Douluo, who shook his head at him: "Sword Man, it's not that Fengzhi and I are hiding anything from you, but we really can't say it. Fengzhi and I have both sworn an oath!"
Sword Douluo understood that Ning Fengzhi wouldn't hide anything from them. Now that he had chosen not to speak, he really couldn't speak, especially since it involved an oath, which was of great importance in the Douluo Continent.
"I understand. Since it's inconvenient to say, then I won't. But Fengzhi, I hope you will think carefully before making your choice!"
"I know, Uncle Jian, don't worry! Uncle Gu, you and Uncle Jian, you two should leave first. I want to be alone and think about the future path of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."
Sword Douluo didn't say much, and simply pulled Bone Douluo away. As they left, Sword Douluo muttered, "Old bone, it's been a long time since I've stretched my muscles. Today I'll loosen your bones!"
"Old swordsman, who's afraid of who! Let's have a proper match if you dare!"
After Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo left, Ning Fengzhi fell into deep thought alone. Now, Ning Fengzhi only had two paths before him: one was to follow Tang San, and the other was to follow the Ice Palace.
