In Douluo Continent, the Pope used me as a substitute for my first love.

Chapter 206 Ning Fengzhi: Your Highness, please rest assured

Just as the square was bustling with activity, Xiao Ying had somehow left Ning Rongrong's side and entered the main hall to find Ning Fengzhi.

Ning Fengzhi was seen chatting with Prince Xue Xing of the Heavenly Dou Royal Family. Upon seeing Xiao Ying return, Ning Fengzhi quickly excused himself from Xue Xing and approached Xiao Ying with a smile, asking, "How was it?"

"The palace master has already met with the young lady, and the two are getting along very well."

Xiao Ying paused for a moment, then quickly recounted to Ning Fengzhi in detail what had happened after she led Wang Zhao to Ning Rongrong's residence. She especially mentioned that her young mistress seemed to have a good impression of Wang Zhao and was willing to call him "Palace Master Brother," to which Wang Zhao readily agreed.

After listening to all this in silence, Ning Fengzhi's eyes flickered slightly, and no one could tell what he was thinking.

A moment later, Ning Fengzhi sent Xiao Ying away and then went to find Xue Xing again, his expression as usual.

"It's almost time. My daughter is already outside, and so is Wang Zhao, the master of the Dragon King's Palace. Your Highness, let's go out."

"Um."

Xuexing nodded slightly, then stood up.

Just then, a painful wail suddenly rang out from outside the main hall.

That was... an avalanche?!

Prince Xuexing was taken aback, but quickly realized that his good nephew seemed to have had an accident outside the main hall, and he was both surprised and angry.

Who is it? How dare they bully a member of the royal family? They deserve to die!

And this happened within the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School...

and many more.

Prince Xuexing seemed to have a sudden guess in his mind, and his old eyes widened slightly, looking incredulous.

Seeing his expression, Ning Fengzhi didn't make any more pointless speculations and immediately said, "Your Highness, let's go out and take a look. Don't worry, no one can cause trouble in my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, not even the Spirit Hall."

Upon hearing this, Xue Xing nodded solemnly, and the two quickly left the main hall.

Immediately, the scene that came into view was that countless guests who had come to attend Ning Rongrong's birthday banquet had scattered to the surroundings. At this moment, only Wang Zhao, who stood with his hands behind his back and whose face was calm and showed no emotion, remained in the center of the square. In front of him was a silver scale necklace that floated in the air on its own. The silver scales emitted strange seven-colored light and formed two seven-colored chains that directly bound Xue Beng, the fourth prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, and pulled him in mid-air with a force that would make Newton collapse. Finally, there was Ning Rongrong, who was watching the show with a look of amusement.

Xue Beng was filled with terror, struggling to break free of the seven-colored chains, but the chains only made him suffer more. He couldn't help but howl in pain, praying that someone would save him. All his jealousy of Wang Zhao had vanished in the pain. Or rather, compared to his jealousy of Wang Zhao, the torment he was suffering was more painful for him, as he had always been pampered.

"Palace Master, Palace Master!"

Without hesitation, Ning Fengzhi and Xue Xing rushed towards Wang Zhao upon seeing this. Xue Xing even waved somewhat erratically, but disregarding everything else, she hurriedly shouted, "He is the Fourth Prince, Xue Beng! Has some misunderstanding occurred between you two?"

"Misunderstand?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Zhao smiled slightly, still maintaining his approachable demeanor.

"Maybe so, but it's nothing, it's understandable that young people like to make a fuss."

Hearing that Wang Zhao didn't seem angry, Xue Xing's eyes lit up, and she nodded in agreement, "Yes, Your Highness, Xue Beng is still young and doesn't know any better. You've probably heard that he's a bit unruly. If he did something that offended you, please be magnanimous and don't torture him like this anymore. Put him down. When we get back, his uncle and His Majesty will definitely teach him a lesson."

Ting Xuexing brought up Emperor Xueye. Normally, he might have given Xueye some face, but now it wasn't him teaching Xue Beng a lesson.

Wang Zhao shook his head slightly, and before Xue Xing's expression could change, he said directly, "His Highness the Fourth Prince is of noble status, so I would not openly humiliate him like this. However, the one who is currently teaching him a lesson is another powerful figure he has offended."

"The other one?"

Xue Xing was stunned for a moment, subconsciously cursing his nephew in his heart for being too troublesome. It was already unwise to provoke Wang Zhao, a promising young man, but how could he have provoked another powerful figure as well? Frustrated, Xue Xing looked left and right, but did not see any imposing powerful figure nearby. Not to mention the lord he had originally guessed, he did not even find a decent Soul Douluo.

Finally, his gaze settled on the silver scale necklace floating in the air.

At this moment, Ning Fengzhi, who had been silent all along, had quietly learned the whole story from the telepathic communication of a Soul Saint of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School nearby. Hearing Wang Zhao's words, he couldn't help but look at the silver scale necklace.

Wang Zhao then pointed to the silver scale necklace floating in the air and said eloquently, "This is a token given to me by a reclusive senior I met by chance when I was practicing medicine on the edge of the continent. It has the functions of communicating across distances and transmitting magic and guiding souls. That senior was extremely powerful. Perhaps it was because she overheard what His Highness the Fourth Prince just said that she suffered this calamity."

"this……"

While listening to Wang Zhao's nonsense, Xue Xing, who had already received a telepathic message from Ning Fengzhi to understand the situation, was in a dilemma. He paused and looked at his nephew who was in great pain beside him. He wanted to get closer but was blocked by some invisible force, so he could only look at Wang Zhao again.

"Palace Master, could you please try to persuade that senior you mentioned?"

Wang Zhao shook his head silently, then suddenly seemed to hear something and said, "That senior sent me a message saying that she happens to be in a bad mood today and wants to teach this arrogant brat a lesson; however, she also said that if anyone can break through the surrounding spatial barrier and touch His Highness the Fourth Prince within twenty breaths, she will let him go."

"Um?!"

Upon hearing this, Xue Xing and Ning Fengzhi instantly became suspicious and uncertain, and many thoughts rushed through their minds...

How could there be such a powerful figure in this world? Could it be that the mysterious reclusive senior Wang Zhao mentioned is actually a peerless Douluo?!

However, considering that the countdown of twenty breaths, or about two minutes, had already begun and the avalanche's howls were getting louder, Xue Xing didn't have time to think much. She looked at Wang Zhao, hesitated for a moment, and then turned to Ning Fengzhi.

"Sect Leader Ning, could you please request your sect's Sword Douluo to make a move?"

"Since this incident occurred within my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, I naturally cannot shirk my responsibility. Your Highness, please rest assured."
