Douluo Continent: My plan to slay the gods has been exposed!

Chapter 103 Conversation

This seemed to be the first time Ning Rongrong had shown such a coquettish expression in his memory. Unlike her usual calm, wise, and sometimes quirky personality, the girl nestled in Ning Fengzhi's arms with her eyes closed, her face filled with deep affection and dependence.

"Alright, how old is your daughter? Why are you still so clingy to your father?"

"It's been so long since I've seen Dad, let me give you a hug!"

Ning Rongrong sobbed and held on tightly, refusing to let go.

Although Ning Fengzhi said he was disgusted, the doting look in his eyes when he looked at his daughter was obvious.

Having lost her mother at a young age, Ning Rongrong rarely experienced strictness from her father. Instead, she received boundless tolerance and love. It was precisely because of Ning Fengzhi's almost doting care and attention that the sect's young lady, who lacked love, was able to spend her childhood happily and carefree, even being dubbed a "little witch" and becoming a nightmare for others.

"metropolitan."

Ning Xing bowed in greeting, but Ning Fengzhi waved his hand to refuse. Falek sat up straight, his back straighter than a javelin, his face terribly serious.

Cai Jiu swallowed the cooked meat he hadn't finished chewing. The few people who were chatting in the corner or wiping their equipment sat up straight, staring at him intently with strange glints in their eyes.

This is Ning Fengzhi!

His Holiness the Pope of the Spirit Hall is a partner of the richest man in the entire continent! He is also recognized as the number one support player in the continent today!

"You've had a long journey, Ning Xing," Ning Fengzhi patted his shoulder and replied gently, "Rongrong is still young, and she overthinks things and is unaware of some dangers. She still needs your assistance."

Before coming here, Ning Fengzhi had already received a secret letter from the Chamber of Commerce. It was the simple and thrilling descriptions in the letter that made this busy sect leader have to come in person and also to see his little princess whom he hadn't seen for several months.

"Everyone, please make yourselves at home."

Ning Fengzhi seemed to sense everyone's unease, smiled gently, his eyes remaining calm: "As for Rongrong..."

He patted Ning Rongrong's head, his eyes serious: "You knew some things from the beginning, right? Let's have a good talk when we come out."

"Father, what did you say?"

Ning Rongrong's eyes darted around, and when she realized that gaze was fixed on her, she had no choice but to sigh resignedly, "Looks like it's all over."

The father and daughter's strange behavior gave everyone in the room the feeling that "we've missed something."

The two walked out of the room one after the other. Ning Fengzhi, who was walking in front, was smiling, but his smile gave people a chilling feeling. Ning Rongrong, on the other hand, had her head drooping and her whole body had turned ashen.

"You're leaving already?"

Falco sighed, but was then delivered a vicious elbow strike by Daoyu, who was all smiles beside him.

"ah!!!"

-

Inside the largest room of the Chamber of Commerce.

Uncle Fu bowed with a smile, gently closed the door, and stood guard outside, leaving the room entirely to the father and daughter.

"It seems I've been too lenient with you before. In the sect, neither Uncle Jian nor Uncle Gu could bring themselves to be strict with you. You finally managed to get rid of your spoiled habits under Flander, but that has instead created another fatal flaw in you."

Ning Fengzhi sat in the main seat, his smile gone, his eyes more serious than ever before.

"Rongrong, you're too arrogant."

Ning Rongrong remained silent.

Several months ago, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School had already attracted attention from all sides. The alliance with the Spirit Hall was one aspect, but more importantly, the transformation of assets also made these people see huge benefits. The scraps of flesh that were spat out could not satisfy the wolves, but were instead seen as proof of weakness and vulnerability.

It was too difficult to contend with Ning Fengzhi himself, but Ning Rongrong, who was regarded as the sect's biggest weakness, was someone they could try to win over. However, they did not expect that Ning Rongrong had been guarding the Spirit Hall for a period of time without ever stepping outside. Just when the group of people who had been guarding for quite a while were losing patience, Ning Rongrong actually took the initiative to lead the team out of the protective circle.

"Actually, we were quite well prepared this time, but we underestimated Third Brother. He truly lives up to his title of Thousand-Handed Asura."

Ning Rongrong should have been heartbroken. The core of the Hydralisk Blood Flower and the damaged or even lost 'Soul Armor' were more precious than she had imagined. Losing them in Sunset Town was definitely a huge loss. However, this experience caused another emotion to overwhelm her sadness, and she was now at peace.

"Have you come to terms with it?"

Ning Fengzhi suddenly spoke up.

"Yeah, I've figured it out." Ning Rongrong nodded in response with a blank face.

Many things don't need to be explained. From that time on, regardless of the reason, they have always been on opposite sides. Whether their former partners will remember the past or go even further is no longer a concern for Ning Rongrong.

"Heh, it's good that you've come to terms with it."

Ning Fengzhi burst out laughing at this moment.

Rongrong initially resolved Shrek Academy's crisis by allying with the Spirit Hall, and regardless of the initial outcome, her intentions were good. It's commendable that her daughter made a decisive choice, living up to both the past and present expectations of Shrek Academy.

As for some rumors

The others don't have that idea or brains. The only one who can use this kind of thing to blackmail is that so-called "master". But if some people shamelessly do things that make it difficult for the younger generation, then the elders will take it seriously.

Ning Fengzhi's smile remained unchanged, but his eyes unconsciously narrowed.

The father and daughter didn't always talk about unpleasant things when they chatted. Ning Rongrong also shared some interesting things she had seen and heard at the newly built "Soul Guidance Device Academy". However, she vaguely glossed over some parts that she couldn't talk about. Ning Fengzhi was not annoyed. He listened quietly with a smile. Sometimes he would also share his views from different perspectives, which made Ning Rongrong suddenly realize something.

Although her father knew very little about the making and principles of soul tools, his imagination about the future development of soul tools made Ning Rongrong smile and clap her hands in admiration, and she even took out her notebook to write it down.

As the sun set and the last rays of sunlight slowly faded into darkness, Ning Rongrong finally put down the teapot, which had been empty twice, looked up at the side, and asked as if casually.

"Where's Xiao Ao? It seems like it's been quite a while since I've seen him."

"After holding it in for so long, are you finally brave enough to ask?"

Ning Fengzhi laughed heartily and rubbed Ning Rongrong's head, but the girl pushed his hand away in embarrassment and annoyance.

"Dad, I'm asking you a question!"

"Him..." Ning Fengzhi sighed as he looked out the window. The crescent moon in the sky was pale and faint, while several stars around it shone brightly.

"Uncle Jian and Uncle Gu have probably finished their training. They don't know about your mission yet, and they've probably already gone to Wuhun City to find you."

Go find me in Wuhun City?

"This guy," Ning Rongrong muttered, resting her head on her hands.

"I knew he was unreliable!"
