Douluo Continent: Tonight, a Fairy Tale Descends

His words came to an abrupt end.

Because he finally noticed the strange looks from the people from Blazing Fire Academy.

Huo Wushuang stared at him, her gaze as complex as if she were looking at a monster.

Huo Wu stared at him, her rose-red eyes filled with disbelief.

The two brothers, Huoyun and Huoyu, looked at each other, their expressions completely out of control.

Even the burning embers forgot the pain, staring at the scene with their mouths agape.

Feng Xiaotian: "..."

The face under the mask instantly turned red to the roots of the ears.

He opened his mouth, wanting to explain something, but found that he had no idea what to say.

Finally, he could only look at Leah with eyes that were almost pleading for help.

Leah looked at him.

Looked for a long time.

It went on for so long that Feng Xiaotian was almost ready to flee.

Then, she sighed softly.

The sigh was very soft, so soft that it was almost inaudible.

But she reached out and took the jade bottle that Feng Xiaotian offered.

"……Thanks."

Feng Xiaotian was stunned.

Then, a smile instantly bloomed on the face hidden behind the mask.

"You're welcome! It's my pleasure! Take good care of yourself and recover well! I'll definitely come to cheer you on at the next competition!"

As he spoke, he backed away, almost tripping over his own foot in the end.

The students of Blazing Fire Academy: "..."

Huo Wushuang silently withdrew his gaze and looked at Lia.

"Captain, he..."

"Ignore him." Leah's voice remained calm, but the fingers holding the jade bottle tightened slightly.

"Let's go back."

She turned and walked out of the preparation area.

The students from Blazing Fire Academy exchanged glances and quickly followed.

Behind him, Feng Xiaotian's voice came from afar:

"Good luck in the next match, Leah!!"

The volume of his voice, his intensity, and his disregard for appearances drew the attention of countless onlookers.

Leah's steps only paused slightly.

Then, continue forward.

Her red hair swayed gently in the wind, and her amber eyes reflected the afternoon sunlight of Tiandou City.

It was just a failure.

This setback won't defeat her.

next time.

Next time, we'll definitely win.

Meanwhile, in a corner of the stands some distance away, a gaze was quietly watching everything unfold.

Ning Fengzhi withdrew his gaze, his smile growing even gentler.

interesting.

That's so interesting.

Two exceptionally talented girls, one of whom is relentlessly pursued by a genius boy from the Kamikaze Academy.

This competition was indeed full of surprises.

He stood up and whispered to Sword Douluo Chen Xin beside him:

"Uncle Jian, let's go back."

"By the way, have someone compile a list of eligible young people for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."

Chen Xin raised an eyebrow.

"What?"

Ning Fengzhi smiled broadly.

"Let them go out more and get some sunshine."

"The sunshine in Tiandou City has been quite nice lately."

Chen Xin looked at him silently without saying a word.

He's followed Ning Fengzhi for so many years, he knows this person too well.

This is not sunbathing.

They're going out "fishing".

Catching two incredibly large fish.

Ning Fengzhi stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze still fixed on the direction where Lia and Lan Fo'er had disappeared, and the smile on his face became increasingly meaningful.

A moment later, he suddenly spoke again.

"Oh, right."

Chen Xin raised an eyebrow.

Ning Fengzhi turned his head, and his eyes, which were always smiling, now gleamed with a light that seemed to be "calculating".

"Haven't you been quite free lately, Rongrong?"

Chen Xin paused for a moment: "You mean..."

Ning Fengzhi smiled: "The Soul Master Competition will be held in Heaven Dou City for a full month. Right now, the city is filled with the most talented young Soul Masters in the entire empire. Yu Tianxin from Thunder Academy, Feng Xiaotian from Divine Wind Academy, Lia from Blazing Fire Academy, Lan Fo'er from Heavenly Water Academy, and Merida from Azure Radiance Academy..."

Chapter 400 Casting the Net

He paused, his tone becoming even gentler.

"With so many outstanding talents, how can Rongrong stay cooped up in the sect all day? Let her go out more often, watch the competitions, and broaden her horizons."

Chen Xin frowned slightly: "You want her to befriend those geniuses?"

"Make friends?" Ning Fengzhi shook his head, a hint of helplessness as a father showing in his smile.

"Don't you know my daughter? She's incredibly proud and arrogant. She looks down on most people, and most people don't dare to mess with her. How could I possibly expect her to make friends with others?"

He paused.

"I was thinking, what if... what if she takes a fancy to someone else?"

Chen Xin's eye twitched slightly.

Ning Fengzhi continued, "Rongrong is all grown up now. She can't stay a little devil forever. If she happens to glance at some young talent while watching the competition, I, as her father, will be prepared in advance, won't I?"

Chen Xin remained silent for a moment, then said softly, "Rongrong is still young, there's no rush."

Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi's smile froze slightly, then he shook his head and chuckled.

"Uncle Jian, you treat her like your own granddaughter."

He sighed and looked at the crowd that was gradually dispersing in the distance.

"But think about it, which of these children who have emerged in this competition isn't an exceptional individual? Yu Tianxin, Feng Xiaotian, Lia, Lan Fo'er, Merida..."

He paused, a hint of emotion in his voice: "Once they grow up, the future continent will belong to these people. If Rongrong doesn't make contact now, by the time she wants to later, they'll already be scrambling to marry into powerful families."

Chen Xin didn't speak, but just looked at him quietly.

Ning Fengzhi felt a little uncomfortable under that gaze and coughed lightly: "Of course, I'm not saying that Rongrong should be married off right now. It's just... it can't hurt for her to make more friends and get to know more people, right?"

Chen Xin remained silent.

Ning Fengzhi helplessly shrugged: "Alright, alright, I know you're reluctant. Then how about this, let her come and watch the competition, just watch, no contact, okay?"

Chen Xin then withdrew his gaze and said calmly, "Whatever you say."

Ning Fengzhi was both amused and exasperated.

He turned to look towards the ring, where staff had already begun clearing the area.

The people from Blazing Fire Academy and Skywater Academy had all left the stage, and the crowd in the stands was gradually dispersing, but the excitement generated by this exciting duel still lingered in the air for a long time.

He suddenly recalled the scene from the match earlier: Lanfo'er stood in the center of the ring, looking down at Leah lying on the ground, a smile playing on his lips.

And then there's the flame burning in Leah's amber eyes as she gets up from the ground and looks up at Blue Buddha.

That's a resonance that only true powerhouses can share.

It is the appreciation of a worthy opponent, the fighting spirit of not being willing to admit defeat, and the obsession with "I must win next time".

Ning Fengzhi let out a soft breath.

"It's so good to be young."

he murmured.

Chen Xin glanced at him but didn't say anything.

The two stood side by side, watching the arena gradually empty.

After a long pause, Ning Fengzhi suddenly spoke again: "Uncle Jian."
