Douluo Continent: From Seven Treasure Glazed Tile to Crescent Moon's Solemnity

Chapter 132 Choice

"Why?" Ning Mingrui still didn't understand Ning Feiliu's reason for not telling Ning Fengzhi.

Ultimately, human thought is limited.

Limited by the era, family, and upbringing, especially the upbringing.

Children raised by terrorists in war-torn environments will not feel that their terrorist acts are wrong.

Just like the movie "Mad Max: Fury Road" that Ning Feiliu watched in her previous life, the War Boys all thought that it was glorious for Immortal Joe to die in battle and that he would enter the so-called Valhalla after death.

Therefore, they all displayed extraordinary ferocity, unaware that their actions were wrong, and each one looked forward to dying heroically in battle and entering Valhalla.

In the feudal era of empires, loyalty to the emperor and patriotism were deeply ingrained ideas, even if you told them that the so-called monarchical ruling class were just bastards who rode on the backs of millions of people and acted arrogantly.

But this still didn't work; these pedantic feudal slaves would still think that this was the right thing to do.

Even Ning Feiliu himself has so-called ideological limitations.

To put it more broadly, unification is the general trend. Like in Douluo Continent, the merger of the two great empires is the right thing to do.

So imagine Ning Feiliu's previous life with so many countries around the world... According to this theory, the most correct path would be for them all to become a federation in the future.

But who would really be willing to give up everything, erase national borders, and become a so-called federal entity?

Ning Mingrui was the same; he didn't understand Ning Feiliu's actions because his thinking was always limited to the belief that "if you are born into a sect, then die for the sect."

That's why he couldn't understand why Ning Feiliu concealed her talent and strength and refused to serve the sect or clan.

And... they're all family! They're all relatives from the same clan!

Family members help each other, allowing the clan to stand tall on the Douluo Continent and become the strongest force. Why is that... not good?

In response, Ning Feiliu said... Clan? Relatives?

If there are feelings involved, that's fine, but what's the difference between someone without feelings and a stranger with blood ties?

If there's profit to be made, rush forward to grab a share; if there's no profit but only trouble, stay far away.

Therefore, Ning Feiliu is more inclined to act on emotion.

Brothers like Ning Mingrui, who have genuine feelings, deserve a helping hand. But people like Ning Fengzhi, who only care about their usefulness and personal gain, are hard to persuade to give anything more.

"Father..." Ning Feiliu chuckled and said, "I understand that he only dotes on Ning Rongrong, but... Anyway, I hope you can keep this a secret for me, elder brother."

His words spoke volumes.

Ning Mingrui sighed and said, "Fei Liu... no matter what, we're still family..."

"Big brother..." Ning Feiliu chuckled and said, "During those days when Ning Rongrong was confined, at the family banquet, did you and I really feel that we were also Father's children, and also descendants of Grandpa Sword and Grandpa Bone?"

Ning Mingrui hesitated immediately, sensing the obvious favoritism shown by Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo.

After all, they have never hidden their bias.

They really don't even pretend.

"Brother, if you were the sect leader, I would be happy to contribute to the sect's prosperity," Ning Feiliu said again, trying to persuade him. "But if Ning Rongrong were in that position, to be honest, I wouldn't accept it... Brother, would you really accept it? How about we brothers..."

"No," Ning Mingrui said firmly. "We...we were all born and raised in the sect. Fei Liu, our father and the sect may have let us down, but how can we let the sect down?"

"Brother...you're too old-fashioned." Ning Feiliu said calmly upon hearing Ning Mingrui's words, "I will not betray the sect. The sect's kindness in giving me life and raising me is indeed as high as a mountain and as deep as the sea, but it's not something I can't repay...In the future, when I offer the Xuan Shui Pill, that will be enough to repay this debt of gratitude, won't it?"

This was also his original plan: after a few years, when he had become powerful enough, he would offer the recipe for the Profound Water Pill to repay the debt of occupying this body, and then leave the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School...

Now... if Ning Mingrui intends to compete for the position of sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, he wouldn't mind supporting his elder brother and helping the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

However, he would not submit to anyone.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is the elder brother's power, and he also needs to have his own power.

The only question is whether or not to help the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School in the future...

Now it depends on Ning Mingrui's decision.

"The recipe for the Mysterious Water Pill..." Ning Mingrui was speechless.

Given the current price of over a million gold soul coins for a single Xuan Shui Pill, the Xuan Shui Pill formula is worth far more than a thousand gold coins; even a hundred million gold soul coins would be an understatement.

If Ning Feiliu were to offer the recipe for the Xuan Shui Dan, this debt of gratitude would not only be repaid, but he would be a great contributor to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

However... Ning Mingrui could see Ning Feiliu's value at this moment. Not to mention one Xuan Shui Dan formula, even ten Xuan Shui Dan formulas could not compare.

Ning Feiliu's value to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is comparable to that of ten Title Douluos!

With Ning Feiliu's lineage, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School finally had a stable fighting force and no longer needed to rely on outsiders.

Not to mention Ning Feiliu's pharmaceutical abilities, including various alchemical potions such as "timely rescue potion," "immunosuppressant potion," "energizing potion," and "steel compound."

Then there's this Mystic Water Pill...

Heaven knows what other miraculous elixirs Ning Feiliu will create next.

If the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School had Ning Feiliu, it wouldn't be impossible for them to compete with the Spirit Hall for supremacy in the Soul Master field in the future.

It's just a pity...

Ning Mingrui sighed; his father hadn't even recognized Fei Liu's abilities.

In fact, not only their father, but even the brothers had never realized that Fei Liu possessed such great abilities.

Only that Poison Douluo had such keen eyesight that he recognized Ning Feiliu's talent and ability, took her as his student, and helped her transform herself, turning her into an unparalleled genius.

Ning Mingrui could only attribute it to Dugu Bo's discerning eye, even though Dugu Bo's strength and cultivation were far inferior to Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo.

However, in the field of pharmacology, Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo combined are not as good as half of Dugu Bo. Therefore, he felt that this was precisely why Dugu Bo recognized Ning Feiliu's unparalleled talent in pharmacology.

"Brother, what do you think?" Ning Feiliu asked, looking intently at Ning Mingrui.

"I... I'll think about it some more," Ning Mingrui said after a moment's hesitation.

"Alright... But before that, eldest brother, let's not talk about this with father." Ning Feiliu said with a smile. "Oh, right, here's a Xuan Shui Pill. You can give it to second brother. You can tell second brother about this too, but Xiao Si, Xiao Wu... they're too young. Let's not tell them for now."

"Alright." Ning Mingrui nodded, took the other Xuan Shui Pill, and agreed.
