Chương 213: Chapter 213: She Once Died for You
After leaving the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Su Cheng immediately diverted his path to the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect outside Tian Dou City.
Holding the token gifted by Ning Fengzhi, he easily entered the sect.
The Seven Treasures Glazed Sect had not changed much compared to half a year ago.
It still boasted green tiles and blue bricks, intricately carved beams, and painted pillars, looking exceptionally grand.
Its magnificence rivaled that of the Spirit Palace.
Surveying the familiar surroundings, Su Cheng continued walking and soon reached the mountaintop.
Although some patrolling disciples occasionally questioned and blocked him, they all readily let him through upon seeing the token.
Some even recognized Su Cheng and knew that he had now joined the Spirit Hall.
However, the intricacies of this matter were beyond the understanding of ordinary disciples.
Even the sect's ambiguous relationship with the Spirit Hall was not well known.
Naturally, they did not trouble him and merely commented on his current achievements.
When he arrived outside the main hall in the core area of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect, Su Cheng sensed that Sword Douluo, Bone Douluo, and Sect Master Ning Fengzhi were all inside.
Ning Rongrong was not among them, her whereabouts unknown.
Seeing this, Su Cheng released his own aura and then stepped forward to knock on the hall door.
Moments later, the door opened, and Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin walked out together, their expressions a mix of surprise and joy.
"Cheng'er, why are you here?"
"Xiao Cheng, long time no see."
"Greetings, Sect Master. Greetings, Teacher," Su Cheng bowed slightly in salute.
He then smiled and said, "I had some free time, so I thought I'd come to see you."
"Haha, you are thoughtful. Come in and talk."
Laughing, Ning Fengzhi led him into the hall.
Inside, a broad-shouldered, gaunt-faced elder was leisurely sipping tea.
Upon seeing Su Cheng enter, Bone Douluo Gu Rong glanced at him, snorted coldly, and remained unmoved.
When Su Cheng led the team to participate in the Spirit Master Competition finals in Spirit City, Gu Rong was not present, guarding the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect instead.
Thus, he only learned of Su Cheng's decision to join the Spirit Hall after Ning Fengzhi and others returned to the sect.
Gu Rong was very displeased with this decision.
Additionally, since Su Cheng left the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect, Ning Rongrong had been somewhat gloomy, which further aggravated him.
Su Cheng did not mind this, greeting Gu Rong as usual.
Chen Xin, sensing the awkwardness, scrutinized Su Cheng and asked, "Cheng'er, have you advanced to Soul Emperor?"
Although his question served to change the topic, he was genuinely astonished.
Despite the short time span, Su Cheng's aura was unusually profound, not something an ordinary Soul Emperor could compare to.
His deep foundation left Chen Xin puzzled.
"Just broke through by luck," Su Cheng nodded with a smile.
Hearing their conversation, Ning Fengzhi was also a bit taken aback, though he was used to Su Cheng's unexpected achievements.
Concerned, he asked, "Are you adjusting well in the Spirit Hall?"
"Quite well. The Spirit Hall values me highly."
As he spoke, Su Cheng took out a token from his pocket and placed it on the table before them.
The moment they saw the token, all three, including Gu Rong, widened their eyes in unison.
The token was composed of six symbols: a sword, a hammer, a crown, an incomplete humanoid figure, a dragon, and a chrysanthemum.
"This, this is—"
Su Cheng smiled and said, "It's a long elder token, Sect Master. Don't you have one too?"
"…Who gave it to you?" Ning Fengzhi stared at him in disbelief.
"This is my own."
Without hesitation, Su Cheng walked over, grabbed the teapot, and poured himself a cup of tea.
"Your own?!" Ning Fengzhi was in disbelief.
"Heh," Gu Rong sneered, collecting himself from his earlier shock, "You sure know how to brag."
At first, they had thought Su Cheng had become a Spirit Hall elder, but soon dismissed it as impossible.
Given his age, identity, and cultivation, there was no precedent for such a thing.
Thinking it over, it seemed more likely that some elder of the Spirit Hall had lent it to him to show off.
"Did you apprentice under a Spirit Hall elder?" Ning Fengzhi probed, looking complex.
"I have only one teacher," Su Cheng said nonchalantly after taking a sip of tea.
Seeing their lingering doubts, he took out a manuscript from his soul guide and handed it to Chen Xin. "I became an elder because of this."
Chen Xin took it with curiosity and began to read.
The further he read, the more astonished he became.
By the time he finished, he sighed deeply, momentarily at a loss for words.
Ning Fengzhi, watching from the side, was also shocked and looked at both Chen Xin and Su Cheng for an explanation.
Su Cheng nodded, "Sect Master and Senior Bone can take a look. I didn't bring this to keep it private."
"…"
After reading it, both were silent.
Finally, Gu Rong sighed deeply, "Innate Skill... What a skill…"
He gazed at Su Cheng with a complex expression and could no longer maintain his earlier demeanor.
In fact, for the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect, this technique was exceptionally significant.
As a sect centered on auxiliary spirit masters, the lack of combat power among core inheritors had always been a major drawback.
Although this innate skill could not completely change their nature, it vastly improved their conditions compared to the past.
After practicing this technique, they would also have the opportunity to efficiently enhance their physical qualities, greatly improving their self-defense capabilities.
"Sect Master, Teacher, I hope you can keep this technique confidential for the time being. Even among core disciples, it's best to only pass it on to trustworthy individuals."
"No problem," Ning Fengzhi said solemnly.
Although he didn't know Su Cheng's specific intentions, he wasn't foolish and had no intention of causing any resentment for petty gains.
Compared to this astonishing technique, Su Cheng himself was the one most worthy of attention.
Caressing the manuscript in his hand, Ning Fengzhi's mind was in turmoil.
Every time he raised his expectations and understanding of the young man before him, Su Cheng would once again do something beyond common sense.
However, besides this, he also had some concerns.
The Spirit Hall was already powerful to the point of despair.
After obtaining this technique, who knew what ambitions they might foster...
After finishing a few cups of tea, Su Cheng stood up proactively, smiling, "Sect Master, Teacher, Senior Bone, I won't stay here any longer. I mainly came today to give you this technique and to see you. There's nothing else."
Ning Fengzhi was momentarily stunned, quickly setting aside the technique and persuading, "Xiao Cheng, why not stay a few more days? Rongrong left the sect a month ago to meet with those teammates of yours. With Yao Lian and Zou Jin watching over her, she should be on her way back by now. If she knew you were back, she'd be delighted."
The individuals he mentioned, Yao Lian and Zou Jin, were Soul Saints from the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect.
Accompanying Ning Rongrong, they acted as both protection and supervision to prevent her from staying outside for too long.
After some thought, Su Cheng shook his head, "I will definitely come back to the sect in the future, but it's better to wait for the next opportunity. Please give my regards to Rongrong."
Recently, he had a lot on his plate, and he didn't know when Ning Rongrong would return to the sect. It wouldn't be appropriate to delay.
Moreover, another meeting might not necessarily be a good thing. It might affect Ning Rongrong's mood and disrupt her cultivation, which had finally calmed down.
It wasn't necessary.
His previous words were not excuses, as there would definitely be more opportunities to visit the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect in the future.
Bibi Dong had ambitions.
Since she wanted to establish herself on the continent, the three major sects were definitely thorns in her side.
However, with his current status and contributions, she would probably take him into account.
Furthermore, having one more friend was always better than having one more opponent.
With Su Cheng as a pivot, Bibi Dong might not be dead set on wiping out the three major sects.
If that were the case, there was a high probability that she would come to communicate with him in the future.
Moreover, even if there were no such things, it was easy for high-level soul masters to interact, and it wouldn't take too long.
Seeing Su Cheng's determined expression, Ning Fengzhi hesitated for a moment but didn't insist any further. He immediately got up to see him off.
Besides him, the other two Title Douluo also stood up, including Gu Rong.
Su Cheng quickly dissuaded, "There's no need for this, I can just leave."
"Let's go together," Ning Fengzhi insisted, stepping forward to link arms with him, not allowing him to refuse.
At that moment, however, Chen Xin suddenly spoke up.
"Fengzhi, Old Bone, you two stay here. I'll send Cheng'er off myself."
Ning Fengzhi was somewhat surprised at the suggestion, turning his head to look.
He saw the other person giving him a meaningful look.
Not wanting to insist further, he smiled, "Since that's the case, you two disciples can have some time alone."
Su Cheng was puzzled, but didn't show it. He walked out of the door with Chen Xin, heading down the mountain.
"Cheng'er, I actually wanted to talk to you alone when sending you off," Chen Xin, who had always been solemn and upright, seemed somewhat hesitant now.
"What's the matter, Teacher? Just say it." Seeing his expression, Su Cheng was even more puzzled.
In his impression, the other party rarely behaved like this.
"Sigh." Chen Xin sighed, "I also have some selfish motives. I've always wanted to matchmake you and Rongrong, so there's something I didn't tell you before. But since you don't even keep such a technique to yourself, it makes me, as your teacher, feel ashamed."
"..." Su Cheng was slightly startled but remained silent, waiting quietly for the continuation.
"Cheng'er, do you remember when I told you before that I seemed to have some impression of you before we met? "
"I remember."
"Since you value that inheritor of the Qian Family from the Spirit Hall so much, I guess you might have some related memories. I don't know how much you specifically remember, but there's something I remember vividly. When things happened, you were already dead in my arms."
"..." Su Cheng didn't speak, his heart suddenly beating faster.
"At that time, after you died, the woman who became the Angel God also chose to end herself and followed you."
Even after unknowingly walking several miles away from the gate of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect, Su Cheng's heart was still somewhat unsettled.
He didn't expect, nor did he think, that such a thing would happen after leaving the world after completing the mission.
No wonder, no wonder the rewards were much higher than expected.
"Why did it come to this..."
"Su Cheng?"
At this moment, a soft female voice suddenly came from behind Su Cheng.
What's terrifying was that, before the other party spoke, with his cultivation and perception, he hadn't sensed anything.
His heart jumped, but his face remained unchanged.
He turned around, looking at the stunning woman in her twenties, with blue hair, blue eyes, and a red dress.
Pretending to be surprised, he said, "Are you calling me, miss?"
