Douluo Continent: Reincarnated as Dongfang Qingcang, Unrivaled in the Mortal World

Chapter 41: In exchange for a chance to act against the Demon Lord [Seeking monthly votes and subscriptions]

Sword Douluo touched his nose and smiled somewhat awkwardly. As expected of Dongfang Qingcang, such demeanor is truly not something that ordinary people can possess.

He even called Tang Hao an ant; I really wonder what level of strength this guy has reached.

A level 98 Title Douluo?

Or is it a level 99 peerless Douluo?

Even now, Sword Douluo doesn't know this; the one who can make Dongfang Qingcang use his full strength hasn't been born yet.

Ning Fengzhi had tried to find out the other party's cultivation level, but Dongfang Qingcang clearly did not want to answer the question, so Ning Fengzhi did not ask any further questions.

After all, forcibly asking questions and angering the other party would clearly be counterproductive.

Ning Fengzhi glanced sideways at Xiao Lanhua, hoping to learn some special secrets from this girl in the future.

Soon, a table full of food was served.

Looking at the dazzling array of food, Xiao Lanhua couldn't help but try it. As expected of a restaurant run by nobles, the taste was indeed very good, but the portions were rather small, and each dish was gone in just a few bites.

The lives of the nobility were naturally characterized by refinement. Whether it was food or daily necessities, they would only use a tiny bit of them and throw away the rest.

It is not hard to see from this that the people of Tiandou City lived a relatively comfortable life, and every household was able to make ends meet.

However, the people outside Tiandou City lived in dire straits, and the difference between them and the people inside Tiandou City was like heaven and earth.

Most of the people outside the city were poor. They couldn't afford the prices in the city and could only do small businesses nearby, such as buying vegetables and other daily necessities.

However, this is precisely why society is divided into different classes, with some people unable to even afford three meals a day and forced to survive on tree bark and grass roots.

Dongfang Qingcang turned around and looked out the window at the old man begging for survival on the ground. Then he picked up a gold soul coin and casually threw it into the old man's broken bowl.

The beggar, who hadn't eaten for three days, immediately looked up at the gold soul coins in the bowl, gazing at the window of the private room where Dongfang Qingcang was. His eyes were filled with gratitude, and he and his granddaughter immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed to express their thanks.

Ning Fengzhi also noticed Dongfang Qingcang's actions and nodded, saying, "I didn't expect Your Excellency to like helping beggars. Such a good deed is admirable. However, most of these people are swindlers who use various methods to gain sympathy."

"I only care about the course of events; whether someone is a fraud or not is of no concern to me."

Dongfang Qingcang glanced at the beggar on the street out of the corner of his eye. He saw that the beggar had used his gold soul coins to buy a lot of steamed buns and was kneeling by the roadside eating them heartily. It seemed that he hadn't eaten for a long time.

Little Orchid also had a strange expression. She raised her head and stared indifferently at the big devil.

I never expected the great demon to do good. Is this still the great demon I know, Dongfang Qingcang?

There's clearly a difference.

Dongfang Qingcang took a bite of food and continued, "Sect Leader Ning, you invited me here today, surely it wasn't just to deliver a soul tool?"

Ning Fengzhi said with a smile, "As expected, nothing can be hidden from Venerable Dongfang. The reason for inviting Venerable Dongfang here today is indeed a rather important matter."

"Speak freely. As long as it is within my power, I will consider it."

Dongfang Qingcang did not immediately agree to Ning Fengzhi's request. Who knew what Ning Fengzhi wanted to do? He didn't want to give him a soul tool and then have to sell his body to him.

This is clearly impossible.

Ning Fengzhi wasn't stupid; he naturally understood that if he mentioned recruiting guest elders at this time, the other party would definitely not be happy. Therefore, he had already thought of his words.

"Your Excellency, as the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, I have offended many powerful figures in my life. I only wish that Your Excellency would lend a helping hand when my sect is in danger."

"I am deeply grateful."

Ning Fengzhi stood up and bowed to Dongfang Qingcang in front of him. It is not hard to see from this that Ning Fengzhi is quite intelligent.

Knowing full well that directly inviting the other party to become a guest elder was impossible, he might as well hope that the other party could guarantee that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School would not be destroyed in the future.

This can be considered as getting Dongfang Qingcang to help him with something.

Dongfang Qingcang raised an eyebrow, understanding the implication in the other party's words, and then replied, "I can protect your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, but only once."

"this……"

Ning Fengzhi frowned and lowered his head with a serious expression.

Such a precious soul tool, exchanged for just one chance to use it, isn't that a bit too expensive?

Even Sword Douluo looked somewhat serious and subconsciously said, "Brother Dongfang, isn't this a bit...?"

"The fact that His Excellency agreed to protect your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School once is already a great favor to you. Do you know that there are very few people in this world who can make His Excellency take action?"

Obsidian Flame glanced at Ning Fengzhi, his tone tinged with dissatisfaction.

The Venerable One has already agreed to help the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School with one chance. Does the other party really think that this "Azure Heart" can buy the Venerable One's favor?

If it weren't for the fact that the other party had treated him to dinner and given him a gift, the Venerable One wouldn't have even considered taking action.

Sword Douluo was speechless after being rebuked, and Ning Fengzhi, knowing he was in the wrong, immediately said, "Then I will trouble you, Your Excellency. If you have any good things in the future, I will send them over as soon as possible."

Dongfang Qingcang nodded and didn't say anything more.

After several rounds of drinks and five courses of food,

Ning Fengzhi left the restaurant with Sword Douluo and watched Dongfang Zunshang and the others leave.

Sword Douluo looked at Ning Fengzhi beside him, then lowered his voice and said, "Fengzhi, I didn't expect that such a precious Azure Heart would only be exchanged for one chance to fight."

Ning Fengzhi shook his head and sighed, "So what? Uncle Jian, you know Dongfang Qingcang's strength. It's already quite an achievement to get him to take action even once."

"If the other side doesn't help our sect, what can we do?"

"Isn't it the same?"

At this point, Ning Fengzhi exhaled a deep breath, realizing that Dongfang Qingcang had never intended to help their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

If it weren't for the fact that I had given so many gifts and treated you to several meals, I probably would never have agreed.

After all, Ning Fengzhi knew better than anyone how much it cost to invite a Title Douluo, which is why he stopped Uncle Jian from continuing.

"Alright, Uncle Jian, let's go back first. After this matter is resolved, we'll see if we can use the soul bone to invite them to make another move."

Ning Fengzhi held the scepter, glanced meaningfully at Dongfang Qingcang's departing figure, and then strode towards the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
