Ning Fengzhi had barely finished speaking.
Yu Yuanzhen, Davis, and a few others cast odd glances over at the same time.
Ning Fengzhi's eyes revealed confusion.
"What do you all mean by this?"
Yu Yuanzhen's eyes showed a scrutinizing look as his rough hands stroked his beard.
"Head Ning, I heard..."
Before he could finish, he was suddenly interrupted by the Snow Night Emperor, who rushed to question Ning Fengzhi.
"Ning Fengzhi! I saw with my own eyes during the previous competition, your daughter and that boy were quite close!"
Yu Yuanzhen swallowed the words he was about to say and nodded at the same time because what Snow Night Emperor said was exactly what he had wanted to inquire about.
Davis and the others also showed looks of suspicion.
Not in the least bit flustered, Ning Fengzhi sat there calmly, raising his eyebrows.
"Snow Night, what's with that tone?"
"Are you suspecting me of collusion?"
"Yes, I am suspecting you," Snow Night Emperor narrowed his eyes, showing a fierce glint.
"This matter is of great importance; we cannot afford any negligence or laxity."
Yu Yuanzhen and Davis nodded repeatedly, agreeing with Snow Night Emperor's words as if they had hit the nail on the head.
Ning Fengzhi nodded and said, "Yes, my daughter Rongrong indeed has a close relationship with him."
"But that is all the more reason I want to kill that kid."
"Explain yourself, make it clear to us!" Snow Night Emperor pressed on, seeking answers.
It was as if Ning Fengzhi remembered something; he gritted his teeth in anger, and his eyes turned red in an instant.
"That damned brat, toying with my daughter's feelings, even having my daughter serve him alongside other women."
"A disgrace, a tremendous disgrace!"
"In my entire life, I, Ning Fengzhi, cannot afford to lose face like this."
Snow Night Emperor shook his head, "No, just this alone isn't enough to dispel our suspicions about you."
Ning Fengzhi suddenly looked up, glaring fiercely at him.
"Your daughter being toyed with by Luo Yu, being his concubine, can you bear it?"
I can bear it.
Snow Night Emperor thought to himself silently.
But of course, he wouldn't say that out loud; he became instantly annoyed and put on a stern face.
"Who the hell can bear that, what father could tolerate his daughter being deceived by a scumbag?"
"If it were me, I'd use all the resources of my nation to kill him!"
Ning Fengzhi bit his teeth hard.
"Now... do you understand what I'm thinking?"
Snow Night Emperor's eyes showed contemplation, and he didn't immediately respond.
Yu Yuanzhen, Davis, and the others watched the standoff between the two without finding the opportunity to chime in.
It was as if Snow Night Emperor had said all there was to say.
After pondering for a moment,
Snow Night Emperor turned his head to Yu Yuanzhen.
"If your daughter were toyed with by a scumbag, could you bear it?"
"Your daughter is the one who got played by a scumbag."
Yu Yuanzhen was so furious he fumed and glared.
"Stop joking."
Snow Night Emperor huffed, "We are discussing serious matters here."
Yu Yuanzhen spread his hands.
"But I don't even have a daughter, only a niece."
Snow Night Emperor persisted, "Then if your niece were toyed with by a scumbag, could you bear it?"
"Boom!"
Thunder and lightning appeared in Yu Yuanzhen's facial hair.
"Is it that I must have a female relative who gets toyed with?"
"Just tell me if you could bear it!" Snow Night Emperor was getting impatient.
Yu Yuanzhen roared in anger, "Bear that? Hell no, I'd beat him to a pulp!"
The Snow Night Emperor nodded, "Then there's no need to doubt whether Head Ning is on the same side as us."
"After all, what you have is just a hypothesis, his daughter has already been screwed over by that scumbag."
"Boom!"
Ning Fengzhi erupted, his face an ashen shade of iron.
"Snow Night, do you have to speak like that."
"Cough cough." The Snow Night Emperor cleared his throat.
Seeing Ning Fengzhi so angry, everyone gradually let go of their doubts.
In fact, Tang Yuehua and the Fire Leopard Sect Master didn't care whether Ning Fengzhi was a traitor or not.
However, Davis had something to say.
"I think we're being a bit hasty in determining Head Ning as trustworthy."
The Snow Night Emperor gave him a sidelong glance.
"You're already furious because your fiancée got messed with."
"Fengzhi's the one who got his actual daughter, his own daughter, messed with!!!"
"Snow Night, shut that filthy mouth of yours!" Ning Fengzhi shouted.
At this moment, Yu Yuanzhen once again stepped in to mediate, "We're all on the same side here, let's not get angry. Peace is most important."
"Hmph!"
Ning Fengzhi and the Snow Night Emperor glanced at each other adversarially before turning their heads away.
Seeing this, Yu Yuanzhen's eyes began to spin with thoughts.
"Cough cough, let me do the arranging."
"Before we act, let Snow Night and Ning Fengzhi stay together at all times, with Snow Night keeping an eye on Fengzhi—that should be foolproof, right?"
"That's a good idea, Sect Master Yu, I agree!" Davis nodded vigorously in agreement.
Ning Fengzhi curled his lip in disdain.
"Can't we get someone else to watch me? Suddenly, I find this old guy intolerable."
"No way, he's the one." Yu Yuanzhen and Davis spoke out in unison, both feeling that the Snow Night Emperor was the perfect choice for surveillance.
"Hmph." The Snow Night Emperor said, "As if anyone would actually want to watch you."
"Then we act tonight," Yu Yuanzhen began making meticulous arrangements. "I heard from Davis that the boy is accompanied by four women, each with significant strength."
"Let's go with a tactic to lure the tiger away from the mountain."
"Fengzhi, you and Snow Night devise a way to trick that boy into coming out alone. Once he steps out, we'll catch him in an urn."
At this point, Davis let out a grim and cold laugh.
"By the time that kid suddenly sees so many forces and experts surrounding him, he'll probably be so shocked he turns stupid, hahaha."
"Brilliant plan, brilliant indeed!"
The Snow Night Emperor clapped his hands in approval, and Ning Fengzhi also nodded in praise, "Sect Master Yu, your scheme is exquisite."
Yu Yuanzhen stroked his beard, his face full of smiles.
"You flatter me, you flatter me."
"If there are no issues, let's go back now and call up our respective top experts and Elders."
"We must deploy the most luxurious lineup to ensure absolute success."
"Alright."
The crowd responded in unison, and after agreeing on a meeting spot, they hurriedly departed.
Three hundred li outside Tiandou City, within a stone cave.
A golden-haired breathtakingly beautiful figure, with a curvaceous, full bosom, was sitting cross-legged in this place, bathed in a sacred light, with a miniature six-winged seraph glowing brightly on her forehead.
"Chuu chuu chuu!"
Sacred flames appeared out of nowhere, burning the cave's stone walls.
Qian Renxue suddenly opened her eyes, revealing a pair of supremely beautiful purple pupils infused with divinity.
She gracefully stood up, her golden lotus petal skirt falling around her, her slender waist seemingly too delicate to grip, her shoulders snow-white, and her legs long and seductive.
Looking out from the cave entrance, her beautiful eyes locked in the direction of Tiandou City.
Her lips parted slightly, and a cool voice echoed within the cave.
"Judging by the time, the Continent's Senior Soul Master Tournament should be over by now."
"Having perfectly fused five pieces of the Angel God Attire's soul bones, my strength has been elevated to an unprecedented peak, several times stronger than before."
"Luo Yu, are you ready to complete our battle."
"I hope your leg is healed."
With that, she unfolded six golden angelic wings from her back and vanished into the sky...
