Douluo: Becoming Qian Renxue

Chapter 283 Conversation
Seven Treasures

The sect was so large and magnificent. In the main hall, Ning Fengzhi sat on a gorgeous chair, his eyes flashing with cunning light, like a cunning fox.

"Qinghe, are you talking about that master?" Ning Fengzhi put down the teacup in his hand and said in a low voice.

"Yes, teacher." Xue Qinghe nodded slightly, his eyes revealing a trace of worry, "Recently, the teacher from Shrek Academy has been asking to see him and wants to assist the students. I want to hear your thoughts."

Ning Fengzhi narrowed his eyes, and Yu Xiaogang's embarrassing behavior in front of the Pope's Palace emerged in his mind. He frowned slightly and touched his forehead speechlessly.

"Qinghe, you are the prince, just a small figure, you can handle it yourself." There was a hint of disdain and indifference in Ning Fengzhi's voice.

Without a talented disciple like Tang San in the original plot line, Yu Xiaogang is just a jumping clown to a cunning businessman like Ning Fengzhi who puts profit first.

A complex emotion flashed in Xue Qinghe's eyes. He raised his eyes and glanced at Ning Fengzhi, confirming the truthfulness of what Ning Fengzhi had just said.

"Teacher, I understand what you mean. This master is quite famous on the mainland." Xue Qinghe said softly, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone.

Ning Fengzhi smiled slightly, with a hint of cunning in his smile.

"Qinghe, sometimes, reputation is just an illusion, and real strength is the most important. But sometimes, reputation is also very important. The performance of this master in front of the Pope's Palace has ruined his reputation. We don't need such people."

Xue Qinghe's eyes flashed with a trace of thought, and then he said firmly: "Teacher, I understand. I will handle this matter."

Ning Fengzhi nodded slightly, with a hint of satisfaction in his eyes. He knew Xue Qinghe was a smart kid, and he believed that Xue Qinghe could make wise decisions.

"Qinghe, remember, as a prince, you need to have your own judgment and decision-making ability." There was a hint of teaching in Ning Fengzhi's voice.

Xue Qinghe nodded slightly, with a hint of sadness in his eyes, which made people feel pity for him, but whether this sadness was true or false, no one knew except himself.

He whispered, "Father's health has been getting worse recently, which is really worrying." His tone was full of worry and uneasiness, as if he was deeply worried about Emperor Xue Ye's health.

Ning Fengzhi frowned, his heart full of doubts and worries, and asked: "His Majesty Xue Ye was fine some time ago, why is he suddenly so bad? What happened?"

He stared at Xue Qinghe, trying to find the answer from his expression.
Xue Qinghe shook his head helplessly and sighed, "I don't know either. Perhaps it's due to long-term fatigue and the old illness has relapsed. Over the years, my father has been busy with state affairs, working day and night, and his body has long been overwhelmed. This time the illness worsened, perhaps because of this."

There was deep helplessness and sorrow in his voice, which made people feel sympathy.

Ning Fengzhi nodded to show his understanding, secretly pondering the current situation of the Tiandou Empire.

Since the young master of the Spirit Hall came to prominence, the ambition of the Spirit Hall has gradually expanded, and the threat to the Tiandou Empire and the Xingluo Empire has become increasingly serious. Now, the Tiandou Empire must not fall into chaos, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous.

If the Tiandou Empire fell into chaos at this time, it was difficult to guarantee that the Spirit Hall would not take advantage of the opportunity to take action. Therefore, maintaining the stability of the Tiandou Empire was crucial for the entire continent. In addition to the behemoth Spirit Hall, the thing that gave Ning Fengzhi the most headache was the Xueyan Pavilion.

He frowned, looked at Xue Qinghe seriously, and asked in a heavy tone, "How is the news from Xue Yan Pavilion going?"

Xue Qinghe shook his head slightly, looking a little helpless. "As for Xueyan Pavilion, I really have no way to find out. The only information I can get is about the store managers, but those store managers are just free spirit masters with relatively high spirit power and clean backgrounds. As for the information about the Pavilion Master, we have tried every possible way but have not been able to obtain any useful information."

Ning Fengzhi sighed heavily, as if he felt that the situation of Xueyan Pavilion was very difficult. He waved his hand and said tiredly: "Forget it, the Pavilion Master of Xueyan Pavilion is indeed mysterious. It is not easy to find out his information. However, Qinghe, you can't come to me just because of a small master. Tell me, what is the matter?"

Xue Qinghe smiled slightly, with a sly look in his eyes, "Teacher, you really do understand me so well."

He slowly stood up, walked to the desk, picked up a brush, dipped it in ink, and then slowly sketched a map on the paper. Then, he put the brush aside, crossed his hands in front of his chest, and looked at Ning Fengzhi quietly.

Xue Qinghe slowly drew two circles with the tea that spilled on the table, his eyes were ambiguous, "Recently, my uncle has been making some big moves."

He paused, as if thinking about how to express his thoughts, "He began to frequently contact various generals in the court and some powerful civil servants. And..."

"The fourth prince who was blacklisted by Xueyan Pavilion a few years ago, that is, my good brother, has actually started to go in and out of Xueyan Pavilion. Teacher, don't you think this is very strange? Xueyan Pavilion has always only blacklisted people, but I have never heard of them removing people from the blacklist." Xue Qinghe said seriously.

Ning Fengzhi's expression also became solemn, and he frowned, "This is not a good sign."

Xue Qinghe nodded, "Yes, teacher. I also think that something is wrong with this matter. So, I hope you can help me find out what my uncle is up to and what his intentions are. If I do it myself, it will be too obvious. There are too many people in the court watching me."

Ning Fengzhi pondered for a moment and nodded: "Okay, I will do my best to help you. However, we need to be careful and not let them notice our actions."

Xue Qinghe looked at Ning Fengzhi gratefully: "Thank you, teacher! I know this is not easy, but I believe you will find a way."

Ning Fengzhi smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will arrange for someone to investigate as soon as possible. However, during this period, you must also pay attention to your own safety. If there is any sign of trouble, tell me immediately."

Xue Qinghe nodded: "Yes, I understand. Teacher, you have to be careful too."

Ning Fengzhi patted Xue Qinghe on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I will take care of it. You can go back and have a rest first. I will inform you in time if there is any news."

Xue Qinghe stood up and bowed to Ning Fengzhi: "Thank you, teacher. I'll leave first." After that, he turned and left the room.

Looking at Xue Qinghe's departing back, Ning Fengzhi couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

He pondered in his heart. It seems that this matter is more complicated than he imagined...
