Capítulo 67: Chapter 61: Prince Xue Xing Admits His Mistake, Qin Xiao's Attitude_2
But curiously, this voice possessed a penetrating force; anyone outside the inn and those within could hear it clearly.
"I am Ning Fengzhi from the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect!"
"This old man is Elder Bone Douluo of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect!"
Ning Fengzhi!
Bone Douluo!
What are they doing here?
Prince Xue Xing was startled upon hearing the voices and, without a sound, tucked away the Black Card in his hand and stood upright.
He first flashed an apologetic smile at Qin Xiao, then bellowed toward the door, "Please come in, Sect Master Ning."
Immediately, the noise from outside ceased, leaving only the sound of approaching footsteps.
Tap tap tap tap.
Soon after, two figures entered.
The first to catch Qin Xiao's eye was the suave and elegant Ning Fengzhi.
By his side stood a lean but tall elder.
Qin Xiao knew that this must be Bone Douluo, one of the pillars of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect!
"Brother Qin, we meet again."
Upon entering the inn, Ning Fengzhi first gave a slight fist salute to Qin Xiao.
"Sect Master Ning, I didn't expect us to meet again so soon."
Qin Xiao returned the salute with a fist.
They actually know each other?
Watching all this, Prince Xue Xing's pupils contracted, and he inwardly exclaimed in dismay!
At that moment, Ning Fengzhi also turned to look at Xue Xing, "What Mr. Ning did not expect is that both the Prince and Prince Xue Beng are also here."
"What a coincidence." Xue Xing revealed a cordial smile, "I didn't expect to encounter Sect Master Ning here either."
Ning Fengzhi laughed, "I didn't expect His Highness the Prince to have such refined taste to eat breakfast here."
Breakfast?
Who are they mockingly teasing here?
Prince Xue Xing felt uncomfortable inside, but he did not show it, and instead chuckled softly, "Good wine needs no bush. Isn't Sect Master Ning also attracted here?"
They were both old hands at sly digs, so when Ning Fengzhi threw one, he definitely had to return the favor.
But Ning Fengzhi's reply left Prince Xue Xing dumbfounded, "That's not so; I specifically came to find Brother Qin."
He didn't beat around the bush.
Er? That candid?
Aren't you going to conceal your purpose?
Both Prince Xue Xing and Prince Xue Beng were taken aback.
The frankness of Ning Fengzhi caught them off guard, and they were at a loss for words.
"I wonder why Sect Master Ning is looking for me?"
Qin Xiao asked.
"It's not urgent."
"Brother Qin, let me first introduce the person beside me; this is Elder Bone of our Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect."
After Ning Fengzhi finished, Bone Douluo stepped forward.
With a smile on his lips, he said, "This old man, Elder Bone, has come specifically to express my gratitude for young friend Qin's assistance."
Assistance?
Qin Xiao was taken aback and then looked deep into Bone Douluo's eyes.
In his perception, the aura on Bone Douluo was fluctuating, clearly indicating that he was trying hard to control it.
Normally, if a Soul Master presented such fluctuations, it undoubtedly meant advancement in their cultivation level.
It appeared that after absorbing and refining the soul bone left by Tang Xiao, he must have found the breakthrough opportunity.
Qin Xiao suddenly understood.
"Senior Bone is too kind; Sect Master Ning and I had but a mutual exchange of needs. Whatever opportunity you had, it's all due to your own abilities; it has nothing to do with me."
He gestured dismissively, not taking any credit.
"These words are unwarranted,"
Bone Douluo shook his head slightly.
"Brother Qin, you are being too modest."
Ning Fengzhi also continued, "By the way, Brother Qin, I have brought a little local product, as a token of appreciation on behalf of Uncle Bone. You must accept it, Brother Qin, without refusal."
At Ning Fengzhi's words, everyone was stunned.
What? Ning Fengzhi is giving Qin Xiao a gift?
And what exactly is he giving? A local product?
The Sect Master of the mighty Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, the wealthiest person under the heavens, giving gifts and it is just a local product?
Doesn't that seem a bit beneath him?
However.
When the onlookers saw Ning Fengzhi pull out a Black Card from a Spatial Soul Guidance Device, their faces registered complete shock.
For fuck's sake!
You call this a local product?
Damn, this is money!
But then again, on second thought, there seemed to be no mistake.
After all, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect is the richest sect in the world; if anything were abundant to them, it would certainly be money....
Ning Fengzhi's local product being a Black Card seemed within reason, didn't it?
"There are 8,880,000 golden soul coins in the card, accepted throughout the entire continent; don't be polite, Brother Qin."
Ning Fengzhi laughed and said,
"That's right, Qin Xiao, take it. Without you, there wouldn't be a today for me."
Gratitude laced Bone Douluo's voice.
After all, Qin Xiao could have chosen to sell the soul bone to the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Clan, or to the Martial Soul Hall.
But instead, he chose to sell it to the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect, which in turn made him, Bone Douluo!
"Sect Master Ning, Senior Bone, you are too polite. Such a grand gift, how could I possibly accept it with a clear conscience."
Qin Xiao said as he took the card from Ning Fengzhi's hand.
A typical case of saying no with the mouth, but the body being very honest.
Of course, this also showed that Qin Xiao did not reject Ning Fengzhi's kindness.
Unlike with Xue Xing, his relationship with Ning Fengzhi was like one did the killing while the other licked the envelope, basically making them half-accomplices.
So, there's no reason to turn down Ning Fengzhi's money when it's offered.
Ah, this... Ning Fengzhi, you're not human....
Having witnessed the conversation and actions between Qin Xiao and Ning Fengzhi, Xue Xing was completely out of sorts.
What's going on?
Just to express his gratitude, Ning Fengzhi gave Qin Xiao 8.88 million golden soul coins?
And here I am, wanting to invite Qin Xiao to join the Sky Dou Royal Academy or come under my command, is this five million golden soul coins becoming somewhat... embarrassing to mention?
Isn't this a slap in the face?
He vehemently despised Ning Fengzhi's price-jacking actions in his heart!
Pfft!
It's just having more money than you know what to do with, right?
Be proud of it!
"Uncle Wang, how about we leave first and discuss matters with Mr. Qin later?"
At this moment, Prince Xue Beng reached out and tugged at the somewhat dazed Prince Xue Xing.
In fact, Prince Xue Beng was also feeling quite embarrassed.
He felt like Uncle Wang's face was about to be swollen by Ning Fengzhi.
"That's fine."
Prince Xue Xing regained his composure and bowed his fist to Qin Xiao, saying, "Since Sect Master Ning and Mr. Qin have old ties, we will not disturb the two of you any further in catching up."
"Prince, travel safely," Ning Fengzhi said with a slight smile.
Qin Xiao merely uttered two words, "Not sending."
After Prince Xue Xing and the others left, Ning Rongrong rushed to Bone Douluo's side, her face beaming with joy.
"Grandpa Bone, Rongrong missed you so much."
"I heard from the Sect Master that even pulling you couldn't get you to return to the sect."
"It wasn't as serious as pulling me back, I just talked a bit more than usual," Bone Douluo replied.
After listening to Bone Douluo, Ning Rongrong tugged at her clothes with a slightly embarrassed expression.
"Sect Master Ning, you must have something else up your sleeve for coming here, right?" Qin Xiao asked at this moment.
Ning Fengzhi nodded, "Indeed there is something, but it's not urgent. Tonight in Tiandou City, I'll treat everyone to a dinner at the most luxurious hotel, and we can talk while we eat."
These words were mainly directed at Qin Xiao and also served as an invitation to Flander and the others.
It seems there really is a matter, Qin Xiao pondered for a moment, "Alright."
Thereafter, Ning Fengzhi and Bone Douluo left side by side.
It's worth mentioning that no matter how much Bone Douluo called for her, Ning Rongrong chose to stay with Shrek.
"Flander, what are your plans next?"
"You're not planning on staying here indefinitely, are you?"
After Ning Fengzhi left, Qin Xiao asked Flander in a grave tone.
"I have a friend in Tiandou City who also has set up an academy here; how about we go take a look?" Flander asked tentatively.
Was he going to meet Liu Erlong? Qin Xiao was somewhat excited.
He remembered Liu Erlong in the original story was a pretty remarkable beauty.
He also wanted to see if this hot-tempered woman was as beautiful as depicted in the original story.
...
Meanwhile, in Heaven Dou Imperial Palace.
Xue Qinghe came to the chambers of Emperor Xue Ye.
"Father, are you feeling any better?"
He asked with a face 'full of concern' seeing the bedridden Emperor Xue Ye.
"Better? It's not that easy!"
"Or rather, I may no longer have hope for recovery."
Emperor Xue Ye answered with a bitter smile, "I summoned you this time because it's related to my illness."
"Father, don't overthink it; surely things will get better," Xue Qinghe quickly consoled, his gaze flickering.
"Ha ha ha, Qinghe, stop comforting me with such words; I'm tired of hearing them," Emperor Xue Ye laughed as he shook his head.
A moment passed.
His smiling face gradually faded, and he said earnestly, "Qinghe, the reason I called for you is to tell you that I've decided to give up on treatment!"
