Just as the family was deep in discussion, someone suddenly came to the door to inform Ning Fengzhi that he was summoning Yang Xiong.
Yang Xiong was also a little strange. Ning Fengzhi was busy with countless matters every day, so why would he suddenly want to summon a small fry like himself? Could it be that he had discovered something unusual about him?
Since returning home, Yang Xiong had categorized and hidden all sorts of Immortal Herbs. The Soul Tools on his person only contained some ordinary medicinal herbs, as well as a few Immortal Herbs that might be useful to him.
All the other Immortal Herbs were placed separately in a small Soul Tool, which he then placed on the beam of his room. He had even deliberately made a small hole in the beam and disguised it, making it impossible for anyone to find.
Yang Xiong followed the person with a face full of confusion to the core area of the sect. Unexpectedly, this time they went to Ning Fengzhi's home, and he was the only one there. Even the Sword and Bone Douluo, who usually accompanied him, were nowhere to be seen.
Upon entering the door, Yang Xiong quickly bowed: "Greetings, Sect Leader. May I know why you have summoned me so late?"
Ning Fengzhi was quite casual: "Little Xiong, you're here. Don't be so restrained, just sit down."
Yang Xiong sat down next to Ning Fengzhi with a confused look on his face, appearing a little flustered.
Ning Fengzhi smiled: "Little Xiong, you are also a core disciple of the sect. Just treat me as your elder. The reason I called you here so late is actually because there's a small matter I'd like you to handle."
Yang Xiong was filled with doubt. If Ning Fengzhi really had something to handle, how could it fall to him, a mere Soul Greatmaster?
Ning Fengzhi looked at Yang Xiong's confusion and a hint of difficulty appeared on his face: "Little Xiong, you also know that Rong Rong is my only daughter, but she has been a little spoiled in the sect over the years, especially due to the doting of Uncle Sword and Uncle Bone. I haven't been able to truly manage her strictly, so she has caused quite a bit of trouble in the sect."
Yang Xiong quickly said: "Sect Leader, you're thinking too much. Although Miss Rong Rong is a little mischievous, she still knows what's important, especially since her talent is outstanding. Her soul power is far ahead in our class, so a little pride is normal."
Ning Fengzhi shook his head: "Little Xiong, don't try to comfort me. I know Rong Rong's shortcomings better than you. She has indeed lacked tempering over the years. Today, I secretly provoked her with words, without Uncle Sword and Uncle Bone knowing, and she has gone out alone. She should have already left the sect by now."
Yang Xiong was confused. What did this have to do with him? Even if someone was to be sent to protect her in secret, it wouldn't be him, a mere Soul Greatmaster.
"Sect Leader, as the successor of the Sect Leader, Miss Rong Rong's identity is not only noble, but her safety is also extremely important. It's better to be cautious. I still recommend that she study within the sect. If that's not possible, she can go to Heaven Dou Royal Academy. At least her safety can be ensured there."
Ning Fengzhi smiled: "I have already sent people to protect Rong Rong in secret, so there shouldn't be any problems. However, I'm a little worried about Rong Rong going out alone. You and Rong Rong are classmates and friends who grew up together. I want to arrange for you to go out and train with Rong Rong."
Yang Xiong was startled when he heard this. It seemed that Ning Rongrong had been provoked by Ning Fengzhi's words to run off to Shrek Academy. He didn't have a very good impression of those people at Shrek, and he wouldn't learn anything useful there.
Furthermore, the greatest opportunity at Shrek, the Immortal Herbs, had all been plucked by him. It was estimated that there was no possibility of winning the Soul Master Competition at all. Instead of going out and showing off, it was better to study at home in peace.
"Sect Leader, I plan to go to Purple Star Academy to study. My elder brother and I can also look out for each other there, and we should be able to promote each other's growth."
A smile appeared on Ning Fengzhi's face: "That's perfect then. It seems you plan to go directly to an Advanced Soul Master Academy to study. I know there is a very good Soul Master Academy in Soto City, Barak Kingdom, especially with outstanding teaching staff. It is absolutely very suitable for your future development."
Yang Xiong couldn't help but inwardly complain when he heard this. The Soul Master Academy you're talking about is probably Shrek Academy, right? Could it be that you, the dignified Sect Leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, have also been deceived by Shrek Academy's false advertisement? It seems the future of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is worrying.
Yang Xiong suddenly shivered: "Sect Leader, you know that my elder brother and I have a deep relationship. I still want to go to Purple Star Academy."
A strange expression appeared on Ning Fengzhi's face: "Little Xiong, don't you know? Because of your elder brother's excellent performance, I have already planned to recall him to the sect and intend to focus on cultivating him within the sect. Perhaps in the future, he can become an elder of our sect."
Yang Xiong's face darkened. This Ning Fengzhi was too cunning and too meticulous in his actions. His elder brother was only level thirty-two at eighteen years old. No matter how you looked at it, he couldn't be considered a genius. How could he possibly become an elder of the sect?
Ning Fengzhi seemed to understand Yang Xiong's little thoughts: "Little Xiong, there's one more thing I need to tell you. I told Rong Rong that you couldn't stand the stimulation of her soul power level being higher than yours and were determined to go to Soto City to study, and that perhaps in the future you could surpass Rong Rong in soul power. That's why Rong Rong wanted to go there to study. If you don't go, I'm afraid Rong Rong will cause a big fuss throughout the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect in the future."
"You also know that I only have one precious daughter, and Rong Rong is especially favored by Uncle Sword and Uncle Bone. There are some things that even I might not be able to stop."
Yang Xiong: ...
At this moment, Yang Xiong was extremely speechless. This Ning Fengzhi was truly too cunning. He must have already investigated what kind of place Shrek was, yet he still encouraged Ning Rongrong to go, and even wanted to trick him into going. He probably wanted to use those people at Shrek to temper Ning Rongrong's character, but what did this have to do with him?
Yang Xiong thought for a long time before reluctantly speaking: "Since it is the Sect Leader's arrangement, I will definitely urge Miss Rong Rong to study hard and will not disappoint you."
Originally, according to Yang Xiong's plan, he just wanted to find a place to hide and cultivate for a few years, and then it would be reasonable for his strength to increase greatly. Now going to Shrek was a bit troublesome instead.
Ning Fengzhi suddenly became serious at this moment: "Little Xiong, how do you think the sect has treated you over the past few years? I know you have made significant contributions to the sect, but the sect's efforts for you are far beyond your imagination. Otherwise, if you had achieved thirteen consecutive victories in the Heaven Dou City Great Spirit Arena, you would have already attracted the attention of various forces, especially the Heaven Dou Empire. They are extremely eager for geniuses, but has anyone actually sought you out?"
"Not to mention that you trained in the Sunset Forest for two or three months. Do you think you could roam freely in the Sunset Forest without any danger with just the cultivation of a Soul Greatmaster? It's just that someone was silently paying behind the scenes."
Yang Xiong was immediately startled. His training in the Sunset Forest was indeed smoother than expected. Although there were some dangers, there were basically no fatal dangers and he did not encounter those terrifying soul beasts.
He had already felt that something was wrong, and now that he thought about it, it was likely that his every move in the Sunset Forest was being watched. Wouldn't that mean that his little actions were completely exposed?
