Douluo Continent: Ning Rongrong? Even a dog wouldn't chase her.

Ning Fengzhi strode up to the middle-aged man and questioned him in a cold voice.

“I…I…”

... "

How could he possibly answer that question?

Just as he was at a loss, Gu Rong stepped forward.

“Yi’er cannot go to the Star Luo Empire. He has a grudge against the Star Luo Empire’s royal family. Going there now would be like walking into a trap.”

"Ok?"

Gu Rong's words immediately caught Ning Fengzhi's attention. He composed himself and turned to ask.

"You have a grudge? How would you explain it?"

How could he not know about this?

"Before Yi'er returned to the sect, she killed a classmate from the same academy. I was right there and saw it with my own eyes. The person's surname was Dai, and he had heterochromia."

"If I'm not mistaken, that person should be the second prince of the Star Luo Empire who fled abroad."

"Given Yi'er's intelligence, there's no way he would go to the Star Luo Empire. So, he only has two possibilities: either he's hiding in the shadows of Heaven Dou City, or he's in Martial Soul City."

Gu Rong explained confidently.

"I see." Ning Fengzhi nodded, a look of sudden realization on his face.

He turned back and looked at the middle-aged man again.

"Immediately increase the search efforts in Tiandou City. Even if you have to dig three feet into the ground, you must find him!"

"As for Wuhun City..."

Just as Ning Fengzhi was still troubled, Gu Rong spoke up again.

"I'll go to Wuhun City; it's the safest and most discreet place for me."

“Yi’er has made such a serious mistake, I have an obligation to bring him back personally.”

Gu Rong felt very heavy-hearted. He really couldn't understand why Gu Yi would do such a thing.

Not only did he collude with Dugu Bo to murder three deacons of the sect, but he also led Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing to escape directly from the sect.

Even the promised immortal herbs were not delivered to Ning Fengzhi.

He knew his grandson was sentimental, but he shouldn't have gone to such lengths for a soul beast.

He must find Gu Yi, get to the bottom of things, and then bring him back to the sect to be punished.

"This... let me think about it." Ning Fengzhi hesitated.

He had finally managed to turn Ning Rongrong's actions from black to white, making Gu Rong believe that it was all Gu Yi's fault. Now, if they were to meet, wouldn't everything be exposed?

But then again, Gu Rong is right. If it really comes down to investigating Wuhun City, no one can be more secretive or safer than him.

Ning Fengzhi was caught in a dilemma.

"Sect Master, don't hesitate any longer. Let me go. I will definitely bring Yi'er back."

"But please, for the sake of my years of maintaining the sect, be lenient with him."

Seeing that Ning Fengzhi was still hesitating, Gu Rong spoke up again to persuade him.

He wanted to bring Gu Yi back, not only to find out the truth, but also to free him from the pursuit of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

He believed that, based on his achievements over the years, even if Gu Yi really did such a thing, Ning Fengzhi wouldn't do anything about it.

"Alright! I'll agree, but you have to promise me one thing: you must bring him back to the sect for interrogation."

"Xiao Yi is too sentimental. He would even kill a deacon in the sect for the sake of his companions. He might even make up some lies to deceive you."

"Therefore, no matter what, you must bring him back to the sect first. During this time, do not believe anything he says."

"Once you bring him back to the sect, the truth will naturally come out."

Ning Fengzhi thought about it for a while and finally decided to agree to Gu Rong's request, but he still wanted to give Gu Rong a boost of confidence first.

Otherwise, if he leaves the sect after learning the truth, then everything would be a loss.

As long as they can return to the sect together and bring back the Qiluo Tulip, what does it matter if Gu Rong leaves the sect?

Ning Fengzhi was confident that he would definitely become a Title Douluo. Two hundred years would be enough time for him to lead the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to a new height.

"I understand. No matter what, I will find a way to bring Gu Yi back."

Gu Rong frowned and agreed.

Immediately, his figure disappeared from the main hall and kept flashing towards the direction of Wuhun City.

Chapter 81 Cardinal

"Huh? Is that an ancient banyan tree?"

"His direction... that's the direction of Spirit City. What is he planning to do? Is it because of Gu Yi?"

In a dark alley in Qibao City, a slender, flamboyantly dressed blond man noticed Gu Rong, who had just left the Qibao Glazed Tile School.

At this moment, his right hand was tightly gripping a Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School disciple dressed in inner sect attire.

"It seems you're no longer of any use."

With that, he snapped the disciple's neck and disappeared back into the darkness.

He is the other one of Bibi Dong's two generals, Yue Guan, also known as Chrysanthemum Douluo.

Yesterday, he rushed to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School on Bibi Dong's orders to find out why Gu Yi wanted to leave the sect and to confirm whether he was trustworthy.

Also, let's take this opportunity to confirm Gu Rong's current attitude towards the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

In order to do all of this at once, he chose to infiltrate Qibao City directly and learn the whole story from their insiders.

Although the information we received differed somewhat from the information provided by Gu Yi, Gu Yi is indeed currently a target being hunted by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

'For this kid, Ning Fengzhi actually mobilized the entire sect's resources. This kid is definitely not simple.'

'He must be hiding something.'

'And Gu Rong, we must figure out his current purpose!'

……

Tiandou Palace.

"How is it? Has everything been investigated? Why exactly is the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School hunting down Gu Yi?"

Two elderly men stood before Qian Renxue. They were both powerful figures from the Hall of Worship, who had come specifically to protect her.

They also obeyed Qian Renxue's orders.

"Um... based on the clues we've found so far, it seems that he killed three Soul Saint-level deacons to protect a girl, and then fled the sect."

"But we suspect there must be a deeper secret involved, otherwise Ning Fengzhi wouldn't have gone to such lengths to hunt him down."

One of the older men answered respectfully.

"Oh? Really?"

"Keep a close eye on the movements of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. If possible, try to find out the reasons behind them."

Qian Renxue ordered.

Now that the Snow Night Emperor's health is hanging by a thread, at this critical juncture, she cannot allow any accidents to happen.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's actions at such a crucial moment, and with such a flimsy excuse, made her feel uneasy for some reason.

"Yes, Your Highness."

……

Late at night, at the Spirit Hall Academy.

The night sky is beautiful tonight, filled with stars, like twinkling treasure chests.

Under the bright moonlight, a young girl stood looking around nervously, as if waiting for something.

What are you looking for? Are you looking for me?

Suddenly, a familiar voice rang out from behind her, startling the girl.

She hurriedly turned around and saw that Gu Yi had somehow appeared behind her, standing on the steps beside the flower bed, watching her.

"When...when did you arrive? Why didn't you say anything?"

Hu Liena quickly took two steps back and said coquettishly.

"I just arrived, it's just that the soul skill happened to land right behind you."

"Tell me, what do you want to do by inviting me here tonight?"

Guyi noodles

He explained calmly and serenely.

"I'd like to thank you separately, and secondly, I have two questions for you."

"I wasn't feeling well during the day, and there were a lot of people around, so..."

Hu Liena, unusually revealing a girlish side, answered obediently.

"No need for thanks. Xie Yue has already thanked me many times today. Just ask me anything you want to ask."

"But let me make this clear first, I might not be able to answer your questions."

Gu Yi replied indifferently.

"Oh, okay then."

"My first question is, why did you do something so dangerous for me today?"

"Elder Gui told me today that you almost died in the mouth of a soul beast when you used a secret treasure to lure it."

"Given our relationship, it shouldn't be worth you doing this, right?"

Hu Liena knew all too well how dangerous the group of soul beasts was today; she had almost lost her life just by watching from the sidelines.
