Because he hadn't mentioned Chen Feng's age at all, only referring to him as Master Chen Feng, people who didn't know the situation would assume that Chen Feng was at least a middle-aged man, and certainly wouldn't guess that he was a child.

However, the Star Luo Empire claims that the Third Prince is acquainted with Chen Feng, which means that the Star Luo Empire at least knows Chen Feng's age.

If the letter-writing incident is true, then it's highly likely that it was written by someone you know.

“Since he’s an acquaintance, we should naturally treat him with the courtesy due to an acquaintance.” Ning Fengzhi smiled. “How about we let this Third Prince go in and catch up with Master Chenfeng?”

The senior deacon frowned, but Dai Mubai couldn't wait to say "Okay" and rushed into the school gate. The senior deacon couldn't stop him.

Ning Fengzhi then turned his gaze to the ghost, "Ghost Douluo, what brings you here?"

The ghostly figure said in a deep voice:

"His Holiness the Pope has ordered that Master Chenfeng be invited to teach at the Spirit Hall."

"Hmph, your Spirit Hall is really domineering, recruiting any talented person you can find." The senior deacon of Xingluo sneered.

Since the Third Prince had gone in to reminisce with Master Chenfeng, he naturally had to stand on the side of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, after all, His Majesty the Emperor had ordered him to be on good terms, not to become enemies.

Moreover, he himself disliked the Spirit Hall.

"This is His Holiness the Pope's order. Do you have any objections?" Ghost asked coldly.

"I wouldn't dare. I just think that some things should be done with mutual consent. Forced relationships are never sweet," the senior butler retorted.

Ghost frowned; he felt that he probably wouldn't be able to complete the task the Pope had given him.

Leaving aside Chen Xin, who stood there like a gatekeeper, neither the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan nor the Star Luo Empire were easy to deal with. Not to mention Dugu Bo, who had been standing silently to the side, his attitude unclear.

Ghost pondered a solution, then suddenly remembered that the Pope had mentioned someone in his instructions.

He asked Ning Fengzhi:

"Is Master Yu Xiaogang also in this place?"

Yu Luomian also looked over, clearly concerned about the issue.

“Indeed, the master is a guest advisor in this academy,” Ning Fengzhi said.

"What is the relationship between Master Yu Xiaogang and Master Chenfeng?" Ghost asked.

“He’s a friend. He’s the one who helped Master Chenfeng submit the manuscript this time,” Ning Fengzhi said without hesitation.

The ghost was silent for a few seconds, then nodded. "In that case, farewell."

After saying that, he quickly disappeared.

"They're leaving already?" Ning Fengzhi asked, somewhat puzzled.

To his surprise, Yu Luomian also took his leave and left with his entourage.

Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin exchanged a glance, both feeling somewhat bewildered, though they vaguely guessed that it might be related to that master.

After Gui Mei and Yu Luo Mian left, apart from Xing Luo and Ning Fengzhi, only Dugu Bo, who had remained silent, was left present.

"Poison Douluo, may I ask what brings you here?" Ning Fengzhi asked with a smile.

Chapter 47 Dugu Bo's Request

At the entrance of Notting College, Dugu Bo slowly spoke in response to Ning Fengzhi's question.

"This old man... wishes to meet Master Chenfeng."

"Oh? Is there something important?" Ning Fengzhi asked with some curiosity.

Dugu Bo paused for a moment, then nodded. "I have a difficult question I'd like to ask you about regarding martial spirits. Don't worry, I'm just here to ask a question and won't do anything to harm Master Chenfeng."

"On the contrary, if Master Chenfeng is willing to help me solve the problem, and the solution is really effective, then I am willing to do three things for Master Chenfeng unconditionally."

He originally intended to have a good talk with "Chen Feng" about the issue of "arbitrarily breaking off chapters is not a good habit".

However, after arriving, Dugu Bo found that things were somewhat unexpected, so he remained silent and observed from the sidelines.

Only after Ning Fengzhi had dealt with all the forces, large and small, did he reveal his purpose.

Of course, Dugu Bo couldn't say that he came to have a heart-to-heart talk with "Chen Feng," since Chen Feng now had the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School backing him up.

So he had to rephrase his statement, saying that he had come to ask for advice.

After hearing Dugu Bo's request, Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin exchanged a glance, and then said:

"In that case, please come with us, Poison Douluo. We will take you to see Master Chenfeng."

Ning Fengzhi knew Dugu Bo's character very well. Although the other party had an eccentric personality, he was clear about his gratitude and resentment and would always repay kindness.

Prince Xuexing saved Dugu Bo's life back then, and Dugu Bo is still working for Prince Xuexing to this day.

Gaining favors from someone like that would be very advantageous.

However, Ning Fengzhi was unsure whether Chen Feng could actually solve Dugu Bo's problem.

"He should be confident," Ning Fengzhi thought to himself. "Judging from that paper, Xiao Feng probably deliberately lured Dugu Bo here."

However, just in case, Ning Fengzhi still reminded him:

"Poison Douluo, it would be best if Master Chenfeng could solve your problem, but if he can't..."

"Don't worry, I, Dugu Bo, am not an unreasonable person. If he can't solve the problem, I won't make things difficult for him; I'll just leave," Dugu Bo said calmly.

"That's good." Ning Fengzhi nodded. "Everyone from Xingluo, please come with us."

The group walked towards the grove. Along the way, Chen Xin glanced at a certain spot without making it obvious, and seemed somewhat surprised.

Someone actually managed to sneak in? And Haotian even had to kill them? Who are they? The Spirit Hall?

Dugu Bo also vaguely sensed something, and he was somewhat surprised.

There's another Title Douluo? Is it Bone Douluo? Does the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School value Chen Feng that much? They've actually sent out two Title Douluos in total!

It seems we should be more polite to that Master Chenfeng.

Upon arriving in the grove, the group saw the master and Flander, as well as three children chatting nearby.

Dugu Bo's gaze swept back and forth between the master and Flander, "Which of you two is Master Chenfeng?"

He became famous too early and rarely traveled to the mainland afterward, so he had never heard of the Golden Triangle, let alone knew what they looked like.

Since Ning Fengzhi had always addressed Master Chenfeng, Dugu Bo himself believed that someone with such abilities was most likely a middle-aged person, or even an old man.

So he focused his attention on the master and Flander, ignoring Dai Mubai, Chen Feng, and Tang San who were standing to the side.

"Ahem, Your Majesty, Poison Douluo." Flander coughed twice.

"how?"

“The man next to me may have a title of ‘master,’ but he is not the Master Chenfeng you are looking for,” Flander said.

"Where is Master Chenfeng? Didn't Sect Leader Ning say he would bring me here to find him?" Dugu Bo frowned.

He felt that Ning Fengzhi wouldn't lie to him, so it was Master Chenfeng who left? Was it related to Bone Douluo from earlier?

“Well, if you’re looking for Master Chenfeng, who published the paper, then he’s over there.” Flander pointed to a spot not far away.

Dugu Bo looked over there and saw only three little kids with their arms around each other, chatting enthusiastically.

"Are you making fun of me?" Dugu Bo said coldly.

At this moment, the senior deacon of Xingluo spoke up: "Poison Douluo, Mr. Flander is right, that child is Master Chenfeng. Have you forgotten what I just said? Our Third Prince and Master Chenfeng are friends."

Dugu Bo instinctively disbelieved it. He subconsciously looked at Ning Fengzhi, only to see Ning Fengzhi nodding with a smile.

"Yes, Poison Douluo, that is the 'Master Chenfeng' I was talking about."

"Who is the original author of the paper?" Dugu Bo asked.

The matter was so outrageous that he could only suspect that someone else had written the paper and then published it under the child's name.

But the next second Ning Fengzhi told him, there's no doubt, things are just that absurd.

"Poison Douluo, perhaps we haven't explained it clearly enough. That paper was completed by Chen Feng himself, not by someone else using his name. If you think about it, it makes sense. Who would use someone else's name for something like that? Especially a child."

Dugu Bo's face showed deep shock. Ning Fengzhi had already said so much, so he had no choice but to believe it.

“This child is a genius. I was quite surprised when I first learned about it,” Ning Fengzhi said with a smile.

"Then... can he solve my problem?" Dugu Bo felt a deep sense of doubt.

"Yes," said Chen Feng, who had walked over at some point.

He looked at his Dui Gua repair device—oh no, he should be looking at the handsome middle-aged man with dark green hair—and said:

"And I know what question you want to ask."

"You know?" Dugu Bo frowned.

“Yes, but I think you probably wouldn’t like to discuss this here?” Chen Feng asked with a smile.

Dugu Bo narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze sharpening. "Is there a room here? I'd like to have a talk with this child."

“You may come to my room,” the master said.

“Alright, lead the way.” Dugu Bo nodded.

At this moment, Chen Xin said to Ning Fengzhi, "Fengzhi, you and the others go first, I'll come over later."

Ning Fengzhi paused for a moment, then nodded.

Chen Xin turned and left, arriving at a certain place in Notting Academy.

He glanced at the corpses on the ground, then at Tang Hao wiping the Clear Sky Hammer beside him, and asked:

"Who are these people? Are they from the Spirit Hall?"

He felt that only the people from the Spirit Hall would make Tang Hao kill them without hesitation.

However, Tang Hao's answer was beyond his expectations.

“No, judging from their methods, they should be Fallen Ones,” Tang Hao said coldly.

Chapter 48 Cleaning Up the Mess

"The Fallen?"

Chen Xin sized up Tang Hao and asked in a somewhat strange tone:

"Is he a true fallen one, or the kind of fallen one in quotes?"

He suspected that Tang Hao had killed the Spirit Hall people and then framed them as Fallen Ones, since corpses can't talk anyway.

Tang Hao said calmly, "If they are truly fallen, I, Tang Hao, will not use such low-level methods. I don't need to find such an excuse to kill the Spirit Hall people."

Chen Xin's expression turned serious. "They've even managed to lure out the Fallen Ones. Xiao Feng has really become a hot commodity."

Tang Hao wasn't surprised. He put away the Clear Sky Hammer and said:

"This kid has caused such a commotion, attracting so many forces from across the continent. It's only natural that the Fallen Ones would flock here, drawn by his scent."

“That’s true, but it’s not a big problem. The Fallen Ones won’t amount to much,” Chen Xin said.

"Well, although I look down on the Spirit Hall, they still did some things. The matter here has been resolved. Senior, I'm leaving now." Tang Hao finished speaking and turned to leave.

"Wait, don't rush to leave," Chen Xin called out to him.

Tang Hao, who was about to leave, stopped. "What's wrong?"

“You said before that you would entrust your son to me for protection, but after thinking about it, I think it won’t work,” Chen Xin said.

"Why?" Tang Hao asked in surprise.

Chen Xin looked in the direction of the teaching building, "You should know that Bone and I guard the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. When Feng Zhi goes out, only one of us will accompany him, while the other guards the school."

"This means that neither Bone nor I can spare much time to protect Xiaofeng, unless Xiaofeng comes back to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School with us, but then your son will..."

“My son can’t go to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School with you,” Tang Hao interjected. “So, I can’t leave for the time being.”

"That's how it is." Chen Xin nodded.

Tang Hao was silent for a moment, then nodded and said:

"Alright, then I'll take care of him for a while longer."

"Okay, then I won't bother you anymore." Chen Xin turned and left, walking towards Ning Fengzhi and the others.
