Chapter 358: Chapter 358: Fiance Hu Liena
...
Bibi Dong looked at Zeng Yi's changing expression and slowly spoke again, "Angry? Annoyed? They deceived you, using you without any hesitation for their own benefit. Do you think such a sect is worth protecting?"
"With your talent, no matter where you go, you will receive the highest treatment. Of course, it's the same if you come to my Spirit Hall. Moreover, I can offer you much more."
Looking at Zeng Yi's uncertain expression, Bibi Dong was quite satisfied with his performance.
When Bibi Dong thought about forming an alliance with Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, her goal wasn't to obtain Zeng Yi and make him a member of Spirit Hall. Her true aim was focused on the entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
But now, she saw endless treasures in Zeng Yi.
Perhaps, he alone was more valuable than the entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
After learning about the conflict between Zeng Yi and Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Bibi Dong's focus was on how to win Zeng Yi over, rather than relying on an alliance with Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Because after the alliance, Zeng Yi would still belong to Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Now, utilizing the deception of Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect against Zeng Yi, Bibi Dong felt she could use this opportunity to win him over.
"Of course, the engagement you made with our Holy Saintess is still in effect. What do you think?" Bibi Dong looked at Zeng Yi, squinting her eyes slightly, eagerly awaiting the teenager's answer.
Hearing this, the girl standing next to Bibi Dong initially had some hope, but upon hearing her teacher say that the engagement was still valid, her body trembled involuntarily, revealing a hint of unwillingness in her beautiful eyes.
Hu Liena was also surprised by Bibi Dong's actions. She hadn't expected her teacher to directly propose to Zeng Yi in front of her.
Although she wasn't pleased with this woman trying to win over Zeng Yi in front of her, Hu Liena still hoped that Zeng Yi would agree, as she no longer liked Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Especially after witnessing how they deceived Zeng Yi and seeing his desolate appearance, Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had left a mark in Hu Liena's heart.
As for what mark it was, those who understood knew.
Zeng Yi stood in place, his head lowered, making it difficult to see his expression.
Regarding Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Ning Fengzhi, and Elder Sword Douluo hiding the truth from him, Zeng Yi didn't know what to do. However, the feeling of being deceived and used when he learned they had planned this matter made Zeng Yi desolate and disappointed.
But for Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Ning Fengzhi, and Elder Sword Douluo, he couldn't say that he hated them either.
Zeng Yi never intended to join any power. He always hoped to live carefree and free.
When he agreed to become Elder Sword Douluo's disciple and join Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, his main reason was to provide a safe place for his little disciple, Yan Que. Zeng Yi didn't want Yan Que to follow him and continue their wandering life.
Zeng Yi was never really a part of this world, and he didn't have any other relatives in this world. He could wander alone without any discomfort. After all, this was how he had lived all these years.
But during his time in Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Zeng Yi was shaken. The people there were all quite good. Zeng Yi didn't feel any scheming or suspicion among them; it was a peaceful place to live.
However, in the end, he was still being used.
Zeng Yi disliked this and could also understand the reasons why Ning Fengzhi had hidden the truth from him. If Ning Fengzhi had dared to tell him the truth, Zeng Yi was certain that the next day, he wouldn't even leave a trace in the entire sect.
So, Zeng Yi didn't hate Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. But at the same time, he wouldn't go back there.
Or perhaps, this time, Zeng Yi came to Spirit Hall to protect Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
With Spirit Hall's strong attitude of sending four Titled Douluo to take Zeng Yi away, even though Elder Sword Douluo had confidence in protecting Zeng Yi, what would happen after that?
You made an engagement with someone, and now they are using that as an excuse to take Zeng Yi back, but you're stopping them. What does that mean? Are you planning to go back on your word?
If you had powerful strength, it would be fine, but you can't compare to Spirit Hall in terms of power, can you?
Zeng Yi believed that as soon as he and his master went back to Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, they would only have a few peaceful days before Spirit Hall attacked.
So, Zeng Yi's plan was to come to Spirit Hall first and find an opportunity to slip away. That way, if he disappeared, it wouldn't be a problem for Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, but rather a result of Spirit Hall's lax supervision.
Look, isn't the problem solved this way?
Although this couldn't solve the root cause, Spirit Hall would still keep an eye on Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. But at least, they would have more time!
Afterward, when the Child of Destiny emerged, with the protagonist Tang San present, Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect shouldn't face any issues.
Seeing Zeng Yi's lack of response, Bibi Dong knew that she was indeed a bit impatient now, but time was plenty; they could take it slow.
"Since you're feeling confused, take your time and think about it. Coming all the way to our Spirit Hall, exhausted and covered in dust, you must be tired. Rest here for a night." Bibi Dong spoke in a gentler tone, then glanced at the girl next to her.
"Nana, take care of Zeng Yi. Don't neglect him."
"Yes, Teacher."
Although Hu Liena wasn't fond of Zeng Yi, she still had to follow her Teacher's instructions.
Zeng Yi also put aside his troubles and looked up, his gaze fixed on the young girl.
This girl seemed to be around the same age as him. She had smooth, waist-length black hair, and her red and white attire perfectly displayed her exquisite figure.
She was very beautiful, with a countenance not inferior to Qian Renxue by Zeng Yi's side. Her fair skin revealed a hint of delicate pink, and her autumn leaf-like eyebrows and bright, watery eyes were pure and innocent. However, if one stared at them for too long, it felt as though their soul would be absorbed by those eyes.
Underneath the innocent and charming aura, there was a subtle, ultimate allure.
Of course, this level of charm couldn't affect Zeng Yi.
Moreover, Zeng Yi had face blindness, so he felt that she was no different from an ordinary girl.
Perhaps it was because Zeng Yi had too many beautiful girls around him that he felt this way.
There were beauties like Shrek Academy's Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, Xiao Wu, and others, as well as Skywater Academy's Shui Bing'er, Shui Yue'er. There were also Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's Hong Jie, Ye Zi, and Nangong Lin, among many others. Girls of various characters and temperaments, Zeng Yi had encountered them all.
Therefore, Zeng Yi had almost a peak level resistance to beautiful women.
However, Zeng Yi could guess that this girl was the Saintess of Spirit Hall, the second tool in his engagement.
But from her expression, Zeng Yi could tell that she seemed to dislike this matter. Her gaze towards him carried a touch of resentment.
That's great! I feel the same way about this forced marriage. We have reached an agreement on this matter!
As Zeng Yi met the girl's gaze, he murmured in his heart.
At this moment, Bibi Dong also introduced her, "This is the Saintess of Spirit Hall, my disciple, and your fiance, Hu Liena."
"Nana, take Zeng Yi to rest."
"Qian Renxue, you stay. I have some questions to ask you." After Bibi Dong let Hu Liena take Zeng Yi away, she told Qian Renxue to stay. She wanted to call her by her nickname, Xue'er, but she couldn't bring herself to say it. After hesitating for a moment, she finally called her by her name.
