Douluo Continent: From Blue Silver Grass to Nine-Leaf Sword Grass

Chapter 68 Ning Fengzhi's Scheme

The moment those words were spoken, Jiang Li understood Chen Xin's meaning.

He was still a little short of the direction he wanted to achieve in terms of sword intent.

After bowing deeply to Chen Xin once more, Jiang Li prepared to descend the mountain.

But just then, Ning Fengzhi walked over with Ning Rongrong.

"Brother Jiang Li! Is today's sword practice over?"

When Ning Rongrong, who is now ten years old, saw Jiang Li, a smile appeared on her face.

She came to his side with the feeling of a young girl.

When Jiang Li saw the two of them again, he gave a polite smile and nodded slightly.

Just as he was about to say something, Chen Xin suddenly looked at Ning Rongrong and spoke with a hint of dissatisfaction.

"What? Rongrong doesn't miss Grandpa Jian?"

Upon hearing this, Ning Rongrong smiled playfully and then threw herself into Chen Xin's arms.

"Of course I want to! But with Brother Jiang Li here, Grandpa Jian doesn't need me to say it out loud."

Sword Douluo simply waved his hand casually and then spoke.

"Why bother with that kid? Don't tell me you didn't come here to see your Grandpa Sword."

Upon hearing this, Ning Rongrong's heartbeat quickened slightly involuntarily.

Because Chen Xin was telling the truth, Ning Rongrong, who was already ten years old, came here every time with the purpose of using the pretext of seeing Chen Xin to see Jiang Li.

It should be noted that Jiang Li is currently brimming with sword energy, and coupled with his extraordinary appearance, he is a handsome young swordsman.

Which young girl wouldn't have some feelings after seeing this?

She was no exception, but he could never actually say those words out loud.

They could only remain silent. Just then, Ning Fengzhi looked at Jiang Li with a warm and gentle smile and slowly spoke.

"Xiao Li has been here for three years now. It's not good to live here all year round, exposed to the elements. How about I find you a permanent place to stay? It will be more convenient for you to practice your sword skills in the future."

Jiang Li naturally understood the implied meaning of Ning Fengzhi's words, but he didn't show it on the surface.

I do feel somewhat helpless.

Because of Ning Fengzhi in front of him, every time he came with Ning Rongrong.

Either they were testing his feelings towards the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, or they were using this as an excuse to try and deepen his memory of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

From Ning Fengzhi's perspective, Jiang Li's behavior is understandable.

However, if I were the one involved, I would find this behavior somewhat distressing.

As Jiang Li was pondering how to begin, Chen Xin spoke up for him first.

"Fengzhi, Xiaoli hasn't been back for almost three years. I was really thinking of letting him go down the mountain to go back and visit, since Dugu Bo has written quite a few letters about this matter."

After hearing these words, Ning Fengzhi showed no outward reaction and even echoed Chen Xin's words.

"Indeed, that's what Uncle Jian is thinking. Xiao Li, why don't you pack your things simply this time and go back to see your master?"

After receiving permission, Jiang Li looked at Ning Fengzhi in front of him and spoke.

"Thank you for your concern, Sect Leader Ning. My Uncle Chenxin mentioned this matter a few days ago, asking me to go down the mountain to see Master in the next couple of days so as not to worry him."

Seeing that Jiang Li went along with what he said, Ning Fengzhi couldn't help but feel a hint of displeasure.

Upon hearing that Jiang Li was leaving, Ning Rongrong, who was standing nearby, immediately came over and spoke to Jiang Li with a slightly aggrieved tone.

"Brother Jiang Li, are you leaving the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?"

Faced with Ning Rongrong, who was acting like a well-behaved child in front of him, Jiang Li did not choose to say anything harsh.

"I need to see my master eventually, but we'll have plenty of opportunities to meet in the future. Besides, we're not far apart, so we can meet anytime we want."

After hearing this, Ning Rongrong nodded, somewhat bewildered.

After chatting with Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin for a while, Jiang Li packed his things and officially left the back mountain of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Immediately after Ning Fengzhi arranged some things for Ning Rongrong, he went to find Chen Xin alone.

I wanted to have a serious talk with Chen Xin about this matter, since Jiang Li had stayed in their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School for almost three years.

However, he visited Jiang Li no more than ten times.

During this period, Ning Fengzhi used every trick in the book.

Unfortunately, Jiang Li not only liked to dodge questions whenever he spoke, but Chen Xin also spoke up for him, which is why he hadn't been able to recruit this genius for so long.

But as soon as they met, Chen Xin spoke first in a distant tone.

"Feng Zhi, I told you I brought that kid back only to practice swordsmanship. That's his only purpose in coming here, nothing more."

Upon hearing these words, Ning Fengzhi felt as if all the words he had prepared were stuck in his throat, leaving him feeling extremely frustrated.

After sighing, Ning Fengzhi suddenly thought of his daughter and Jiang Li, and immediately spoke again, overturning all his previous thoughts.

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

"Uncle Jian, that's not why I called you here today."

Upon hearing Ning Fengzhi's denial, Chen Xin couldn't help but turn around and glance at Ning Fengzhi.

You should know that in the past three years, almost every time the other party contacted me, it was because of this matter.

But now he's telling me he didn't come for this reason, and Chen Xin is still somewhat unwilling to believe it.

But Ning Fengzhi's next words left Chen Xin momentarily stunned.

"I was thinking, you just saw that Rongrong is quite clingy to Jiang Li, she clearly likes him. I was thinking that since Jiang Li is practically your apprentice, and they're only five years apart in age, do you think we should go over and put in a good word for Ning Rongrong on this matter?"

Chen Xin never expected that Ning Fengzhi would suddenly shift the focus to Ning Rongrong and Jiang Li's matter.

After regaining his composure, Chen Xin couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Despite what he and Gu Rongluo said—that they didn't want Ning Rongrong to get married and hoped she would wait until she was over thirty—it's all just talk.

But it depends on who is in this situation?

If it were Jiang Li, thinking back on the three years he had spent with him, he would have a very good understanding of this boy's character and even his potential; he was definitely at the level of a prodigy.

Chen Xin was momentarily speechless with any objection.

After a long silence, Chen Xin finally spoke up.

"Next time we meet, I'll ask Xiao Li if he has any romantic feelings for Rongrong."

Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he couldn't help but feel overjoyed.

He even blamed himself for being foolish.

If I had thought of using my daughter to win Jiang Li over to my side earlier, why would I have wasted so much time?

After this casual chat, when Sword Douluo was alone again, he couldn't help but stare blankly in the direction Jiang Li had left, his mind filled with thoughts of their final move together, and he couldn't help but murmur to himself.

"It feels like I've been trapped in this place for a long time..."

On the other hand, Jiang Li was truly unaware that Ning Fengzhi had already set out to recruit him.

As he descended the mountain once more, looking at the bustling streets, he had a slightly different feeling.

After returning to Sunset Forest, Dugu Bo saw Jiang Li, whom he hadn't seen for three years. If Jiang Li hadn't revealed his martial soul first, he would have been overjoyed.

I'm afraid even Dugu Bo almost couldn't resist taking action.

After all, three years had passed, and Jiang Li's aura was completely different.

After chatting with him for a while, Dugu Bo suddenly changed his tone and asked Jiang Li a question.

"Xiao Li, I already know that with your current strength, there's no need for you to do that, but I still can't help but ask, what are your thoughts on enrolling in the Heaven Dou Royal Academy?"
