Douluo: The martial soul Nine-headed Xiangliu swallows the sky and devours the earth!

Chapter 166 An Encounter with Chen Xin
"Old White Bird, now that you're here, settle down and serve the Xuanling Pill Sect wholeheartedly. If you still have your eyes on the Haotian Sect, it will be a disaster if the sect leader finds out!"

Niu Gao said earnestly that he truly did not want his old friend to make a mistake. If the sect leader knew that the other party had ulterior motives, the entire Min clan would probably suffer a disaster.

Moreover, their sect leader's strength should be beyond imagination. Although they had seen the sect leader take action before, they knew it without even thinking about it.

That is definitely not the sect leader's full strength.

Upon hearing this, Baihe laughed and said, "Old Rhinoceros, Old Goat, don't worry. Now that I have joined the Xuanling Pill Sect, I will definitely sever ties with the Haotian Sect."

"To be honest, I actually regret not agreeing to the Xuanling Pill Sect's offer of recruitment at the very beginning. If I had agreed then..."

"I'm probably the fourth elder of the Xuanling Pill Sect now," Bai He said, his current position being practically meaningless.

He was merely an elder in charge of affairs and was not at the center of power within the Xuanling Pill Sect.

Yang Wudi and Niu Gao held real power and positions, which were worlds apart from his position as a steward elder, and he had no complaints about it.

Upon hearing this, Yang Wudi and Niu Gao exchanged a glance, smiled wryly, and shook their heads.

How could they not see it? They both brought their entire families and both were Soul Douluo, but Bai He's position was that of a dispensable elder steward.

The Xuanling Pill Sect still harbors some resentment towards Bai He for refusing to recruit them back then; otherwise, he wouldn't have been a steward elder, but an elder just like them.

Of course, there might also be a lack of trust in Bai He, after all, he is related to the Haotian Sect by marriage, and who knows if there will be any lingering ties.

Perhaps the white crane itself knew the truth.

The elderly had their own things to do, while Dugu Yao and the others were sightseeing, waiting for the highly anticipated coronation ceremony to begin at noon.

Dugu Yao watched the two sisters shopping and sighed helplessly. Was his little purse really his? It was more like it belonged to these two sisters.

After shopping here, Dugu Yao followed Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling to other places, buying snacks along the way.

While Dugu Yao and the others were strolling around, Ning Rongrong and Sword Douluo Chen Xin had also arrived in Tiandou City and were showing Ning Rongrong around.

Coincidentally, the direction they were heading was exactly where Dugu Yao and the others were, making a run for it inevitable since the last banquet.

This was the second time Ning Rongrong had seen Dugu Yao and the others, though it could also be the third, since she had seen them at her full-moon celebration, though she had no recollection of it.

"Brother Yao, Sister Yan, Sister Lingling!" A soft, sweet voice rang out, immediately attracting the attention of the three people who were shopping. They looked in the direction from which the voice came.

It was a girl, wearing a white dress, very cute, holding a pink teddy bear, waving and talking in their direction.

Beside her stood a middle-aged man with long white hair, dressed in white, resembling a sword, with a smile on his face.

"Rongrong!" Dugu Yao, Dugu Yan, and Ye Lingling all spoke at the same time when they saw each other; they couldn't mistake her for someone else.

Although Ning Rongrong has changed a bit over this period of time, the changes are not significant. However, even if they are face-blind, they would still recognize the person standing next to her.

It belongs to Chen Xin, the Sword Douluo, the sect's guardian elder of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

"Grandpa, Grandpa, let's go!" Ning Rongrong's excitement was palpable as she tugged at Chen Xin's sleeve and headed towards Dugu Yao and the others. "Rongrong, it's been such a long time since we last met. Last time we met, you were so short, but now you've grown so much," Dugu Yan teased with a smile.

"It's been a very, very, very long time, so long that Rongrong doesn't even know how much time has passed," Ning Rongrong said, clearly happy to see her three older brothers and sisters again.

"It has indeed been quite a while," Dugu Yan said awkwardly, then quickly changed the subject, "Rongrong, is that teddy bear you're holding the one my brother gave you back then?"

"Yes, it's a gift from Brother Yao. I really like it. Rongrong hugs it every night when she goes to sleep." Ning Rongrong's face was beaming with smiles.

That day, her favorite gift was still this pink teddy bear.

Dugu Yao smiled and said, "I'm glad you like it."

"Rongrong, are you here to participate in the investiture ceremony as well?" Ye Lingling asked at this moment, thinking that it should be so, otherwise Ning Rongrong, as the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, would not be here.

How could they suddenly appear here, especially with this powerful Sword Douluo by their side?

“Sister Lingling is right. Besides, Rongrong only came because she heard that Brother Yao, Sister Yan, and Sister Lingling were all there,” Ning Rongrong said with a smile.

Looking at the four people chatting happily, Chen Xin suddenly felt that he was somewhat superfluous, but he didn't know why.

Running into Ning Rongrong was unexpected, but since they had encountered Dugu Yao and Ye Lingling, they decided to take the little girl, Ning Rongrong, shopping.

They chatted and laughed along the way, while Chen Xin acted more like a bodyguard and was excluded from the group of four.

But it has to be said that Ning Fengzhi truly dotes on Ning Rongrong. Despite her young age, she not only possesses a spatial soul tool, but also a large amount of gold soul coins.

She's practically a little rich girl, richer than all three of them combined.

"Sister Yan, Sister Lingling, if you like, you can spend as much as you like. Rongrong doesn't mind, as long as you're happy." Rongrong said, taking out a large number of gold soul coins from her soul tool.

Although she was young, she seemed to be able to see that Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling were struggling financially, so she took out her gold soul coins and shared them with the two of them.

Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling's eyes gleamed.

"Is this really okay for Rongrong?" Dugu Yan asked.

"As long as my sister is happy," Ning Rongrong said.

Chen Xin sighed helplessly, while Dugu Yao was at a loss for words.

Soon it was noon, and there wasn't much time left before Xue Qinghe's coronation ceremony. So they went their separate ways to prepare to watch Xue Qinghe's coronation.

Dugu Yao and the others returned to the hotel, while Ning Rongrong and Chen Xin met up with Ning Fengzhi. When it was almost time, the guests who had come from all over the country arrived.

They headed in one direction, towards the place where Xue Qinghe was crowned, a place that would attract everyone's attention. The original inhabitants of Tiandou City would also be able to witness it.
