Douluo Continent: The Ice Dragon King Martial Soul, Ma Xiaotao is Addicted

Chapter 216 Revealing his cultivation level, Ning Xiuyuan was dumbfounded.

Ye Chen would definitely not reveal the matter of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

One reason is that he doesn't trust the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

On the other hand, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School also lacks sufficient fortune.

Those who can enter the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire are all people with great fortune.

Those who learned that the location of the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire was also a force possessing extraordinary destiny, such as the Tang Sect.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School lacks sufficient fortune; if it learns of this news, it may suffer a backlash.

Although this is a fantasy sewer, there is still an influence of fate in the dark. Ye Chen doesn't want to change the future plot of the entire continent because of his words.

Moreover, there is only one of these plants. Although Ye Chen left behind the roots, it will take many years before a second plant can grow.

Telling this would not do Ye Chen any good; on the contrary, it would cause him some trouble.

As Ye Chen spoke, he naturally turned his head to look at Ning Tian, ​​his eyes gentle, and said, "Xiao Tian is so talented, of course I have to think about her. This is just a gift I'm giving her."

That one glance instantly made Ning Tian's heart flutter with joy, filled with immense sweetness.

Upon seeing this, Ning Xiuyuan's lips twitched slightly.

However, he ignored this display of affection and started talking about serious matters, his tone becoming extremely solemn and sincere:
"Young friend Ye, put aside your relationship with Xiao Tian for now. The kindness you have shown to Xiao Tian is also the kindness you have shown to our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."

"On behalf of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, I, Ning Xiuyuan, would like to express my sincere gratitude!"

"Furthermore, to express my gratitude for your tremendous help to Xiaotian and to the inheritance of our sect, as long as it is a resource, soul bone, soul tool, or secret manual stored in our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's treasury, or that we can obtain with the power of our sect... no matter how precious it is, as long as you ask, young friend, I, Ning Xiuyuan, will not refuse! Consider it a small token of my appreciation!"

Upon hearing this, Shi Hao slapped his thigh and said in a loud voice, "That's right! Kid Ye, don't be polite! Just tell me what you want! I, Old Ape, will personally go to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt down a 100,000-year-old soul beast for you!"

Although this is an exaggeration, it fully expresses their gratitude and determination.

Jian Wuchen also said in a deep voice, "The sect's treasure vault is open for your selection."

Concise yet substantial.

Such a promise from a sect leader and two titled Douluo-level powerhouses is enough to make any force on the continent envious and its heart race.

Clearly, Ye Chen's act of elevating Ning Tian's martial soul to the level of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda is an immense favor to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School!

This is already an attitude of giving back in full.

However, Ye Chen remained calm.

He shook his head slightly and said, "Sect Master Ning, Senior Shi, Senior Jian, I appreciate your kindness. I'm already very satisfied that the Qiluo Tulip can help Xiaotian. As for anything else... there's no need for now."

Ye Chen refused decisively because he really didn't need anything else.

Ning Tian was overjoyed, her eyes filled with sweetness and pride as she looked at Ye Chen. She couldn't help but interject, "Dad, Ye Chen isn't the kind of person who'd be after those things. He's different from other boys!"

Ning Xiuyuan was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, and his evaluation of Ye Chen rose even higher.

"To remain unmoved by such a huge profit, this kid really has something... Or perhaps I've misjudged him?"

Although Ning Xiuyuan thought this way, his enthusiastic smile remained unchanged, but a deeper scrutiny flashed in the depths of his eyes.

Ning Xiuyuan looked at his daughter hiding next to Ye Chen, and saw the undisguised adoration in her eyes as she gazed at Ye Chen. He couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy.

My lovely little cotton-padded jacket is already letting in the wind before winter even arrives... Who can I complain to about this?

However, because Ye Chen helped Ning Tian's martial soul evolve, Ning Xiuyuan was only somewhat helpless at the moment and did not harbor any ill will towards Ye Chen. However, since the two were classmates, they should be around the same age. This period is a crucial time for soul masters to cultivate, and it would be a great loss if they were delayed because of dating.

Ning Xiuyuan's gaze swept between Ye Chen and Ning Tian. After considering it for a moment, he still spoke up: "Young friend Ye... Our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will never change our gratitude for your great kindness."

He paused, then changed the subject, saying, "However, let's keep things separate. Regarding the relationship between you and my daughter... To be honest, as your father, I am extremely grateful for the opportunities you have brought to Xiaotian. But as the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, there are some ironclad rules of the sect's heritage that I need to explain to you, my friend."

The atmosphere inside the hall instantly shifted from its previous warmth to a somewhat somber tone, following the change in his tone.

"Sect Leader Ning, please speak."

Ye Chen seemed to have guessed something, and smiled slightly, seemingly without any worry.

Seeing Ye Chen's composure, Ning Xiuyuan also voiced his thoughts:
"First of all, Xiao Tian is still young, and this is the time for him to cultivate. He doesn't know much about matters between men and women, so it's probably too early for him to be in a relationship..."

Because Ye Chen is well-developed, he looks like he's seventeen or eighteen years old, or at least sixteen.

And Ning Tian...

Ning Xiuyuan, Shi Hao, and Jian Wuchen all regarded Ye Chen as a womanizing senior who seduced female students (which was indeed the case).

That's why they were so hostile towards Ye Chen at the beginning.

Although Ye Chen had done Ning Tian a great favor, they certainly wouldn't let Ning Tian act recklessly without knowing anything about Ye Chen.

Ning Xiuyuan even decided to let Ning Tian take a break from school for a while and stay at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to cultivate properly, so that Ning Tian wouldn't elope with someone else...

"Secondly, and most importantly..."

As Ning Xiuyuan spoke, his gaze sharpened. "The owners of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul throughout history must have a partner who is a sufficiently powerful Battle Soul Master."

"The Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda is a miracle, the hope of the sect, but it is also the core and lifeline of the entire sect. Its owner must not make any mistakes."

"Xiao Tian's future partner must not only be loyal and reliable, but more importantly, must have enough strength to shield her from all attacks, both overt and covert, when she is most vulnerable to using her support soul skills, and to provide her with a safe haven!"

"He must be someone who can protect Xiaotian throughout his life, and also a shield to protect the foundation of the sect at critical moments!"

"This responsibility cannot be borne by any non-offensive or defensive top-tier battle spirit master, and they must possess top-tier strength among their peers! This is a matter of life and death, and there is no room for luck!"

Ning Xiuyuan's voice echoed in the hall, each word resounding.

It was filled with an undeniable authority, and also reflected his responsibility as a father.

He looked at Ye Chen, his tone sincere but also carrying an invisible pressure: "Young friend Ye, I have absolutely no intention of distrusting your character or being grateful. On the contrary, I am extremely grateful for your kindness to Xiao Tian, ​​but Xiao Tian is my favorite daughter, and I must be responsible for her."

Although he couldn't see through Ye Chen's cultivation level, Ye Chen's age was indeed too young, and he looked like a pretty boy with a natural talent for picking up girls.

Putting aside cultivation level and talent, he was genuinely worried that Ning Tian would be wronged...

"Sect Master Ning, I understand your concerns very well. Let me answer your first question first. Although Xiao Tian is still young, being with me will not only prevent him from falling behind in cultivation, but will actually allow him to far surpass his peers."

Ye Chen smiled slightly, then looked at Ning Tian.

Ning Tian and Ye Chen were naturally on the same wavelength.

When Ye Chen looked at her, he also revealed his four spirit rings and all his aura.
