Chapter 84: Ning Fengzhi's Character Flaw
Li Tian picking up that young man was something they had investigated, but they hadn't found anything conclusive.
They monitored him for a period of time.
After confirming he had no ill intentions towards Li Tian, they temporarily put the matter aside.
They hadn't expected him to be a Titled Douluo.
This was indeed an oversight; if one of Elder Chen Xin or Elder Gu Rong had gone to check, they would have discovered it.
"Oh?"
Tang Hao asked in surprise, "You actually know? Could he be a wild Titled Douluo?"
Ning Fengzhi: "..."
They didn't even know the other party was a Titled Douluo, so how would they know if he was a wild one?
Chen Xin asked, "How are you so sure he's from Spirit Hall?"
Tang Hao said, "There are only so many Titled Douluo on the continent. If he's not from Spirit Hall, where else could he be from?"
Gu Rong said speechlessly, "You're just guessing?"
Tang Hao said, "Although the Priests and Elders of Spirit Hall rarely show their faces, our Clear Sky Sect has rough records. We'll know if he is or isn't by looking at his Spirit."
Ning Fengzhi stared at him: "If he is, you want to kill him?"
Tang Hao remained silent, tacitly confirming it.
Chen Xin sneered, "If you want to die, go right ahead. Do you really think Spirit Hall can't deal with you? It's just that they haven't had the time to bother with you."
He knew just how strong Spirit Hall truly was.
His father, a dignified Level 98 Peak Douluo, died from severe injuries after being defeated in battle.
What was Tang Hao compared to that?
Although he wasn't entirely sure if the person who defeated his father was still alive, he believed that if Spirit Hall genuinely wanted to kill Tang Hao, Tang Hao would absolutely not survive.
After all, with so many Priests and Elders, each of them a Peak Douluo above Level 96.
Dealing with one Tang Hao would be effortless, wouldn't it?
As for why Spirit Hall hadn't done so, he wasn't clear.
Tang Hao said disdainfully, "You don't need to worry about that. My target is that Titled Douluo; I won't harm Li Tian, so I hope you won't interfere."
Compared to a Titled Douluo from Spirit Hall, Li Tian's matters were insignificant.
Ning Fengzhi asked, "Aren't you afraid of completely enraging Spirit Hall? You can hide, but what about your son? What about the Clear Sky Sect? Where can they hide?"
Tang Hao fell silent.
Ning Fengzhi continued, "The Clear Sky Sect went into seclusion because of what happened back then. Now that things have finally settled down a bit, you're stirring up trouble again. Do you really think Spirit Hall wouldn't dare to destroy the Clear Sky Sect?"
"Yes, your beloved died, but didn't the previous Supreme Pontiff also die by your hand?"
"Must you cause your Family's destruction over this matter before you're at peace? Have you ever considered your relatives? Are all their lives not worth as much as your beloved's single life?"
Ning Fengzhi truly didn't want to get involved in this mess, but how could he not understand the principle of 'when the lips are gone, the teeth are cold'?
Although the Clear Sky Sect was in seclusion, it at least still existed.
As long as it existed, it possessed a certain deterrent power, and Spirit Hall would exercise some caution in its actions.
If the Clear Sky Sect were to be destroyed.
Then, with only the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, what would they use to contend with Spirit Hall?
"Don't you interfere, or don't blame me for being impolite."
With that, Tang Hao turned and left, completely unmoved by Ning Fengzhi's words.
If something were to happen to the Clear Sky Sect, it would have happened long ago.
As long as Spirit Hall's High Priest didn't die, and the Clear Sky Sect didn't actively participate in his conflict with Spirit Hall.
The Clear Sky Sect would be fine.
As for Tang San...
Where he Cultivated didn't matter; that broken Shrek Academy was no different from the wilderness.
"Sigh!"
Watching Tang Hao's retreating figure, Ning Fengzhi sighed helplessly.
To be stuck with such a character, the Clear Sky Sect was truly out of luck.
Gu Rong looked at Ning Fengzhi and asked, "What if the guy Li Tian picked up really is a Titled Douluo from Spirit Hall?"
Ning Fengzhi couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Chen Xin said, "I don't think it matters. I've taught Li Tian for a year; I know exactly what kind of person he is. He's not someone who's willing to be someone's dog, otherwise, he wouldn't have chosen the Heaven Dou Imperial Family back then."
Gu Rong shook his head and said, "That's true, but what if he's been a Spirit Hall person all along?"
Chen Xin said, "You underestimate him too much. He appears harmless, but in reality, he has a fierce heart and is absolutely not someone willing to be subservient."
"If he truly is a person of Spirit Hall, changing the world is merely a matter of time."
"If we befriend him now, by the time he controls Spirit Hall, we won't have to worry about our Sect being destroyed by Spirit Hall."
"No..."
Gu Rong stared at him, dumbfounded: "Are you perhaps overestimating him a bit too much?"
Ning Fengzhi also looked utterly bewildered.
He admitted that Li Tian's talent was extraordinary, but to say he could change the world and control Spirit Hall...
That was Spirit Hall.
Spirit Hall had been passed down for so long; it had always been a one-man show of the Qian Family.
Even Bibi Dong was merely a puppet.
As long as the Qian Family wished, they could strip Bibi Dong of her power at any time.
What right did Li Tian have?
He also wanted to ask: "Elder Chen Xin, are you perhaps overestimating him a bit too much?"
Chen Xin shook his head and didn't offer much explanation.
Everything else could deceive, but one's Dao could not.
Dao was the Qi of the heart, the will.
Li Tian's Dao told Chen Xin exactly what kind of person he was.
However, his Dao was currently only in its embryonic form.
A prototype that even Li Tian himself hadn't realized, still requiring some external conditions to guide it.
Of course.
Chen Xin only understood what kind of person he was through his Dao.
As for controlling Spirit Hall or anything like that.
It was merely Chen Xin's confidence in him, believing he could achieve that.
Whether he was a person of Spirit Hall was still debatable.
It wasn't impossible for him to create a force to replace Spirit Hall in the future.
"Then, is our investment too small?"
Ning Fengzhi didn't know why Elder Chen Xin thought so highly of Li Tian. If the other party truly had the potential Elder Chen Xin spoke of, then their investment might not be enough.
"Sigh!"
Chen Xin glanced at Ning Fengzhi and couldn't help but sigh.
Some things cannot be exchanged with external possessions.
Fengzhi was good in every aspect, except for always considering things in terms of profit and value.
With such a personality, how could he gain true sincerity?
Ning Rongrong had just managed to develop some feelings for Li Tian, and he immediately sent her to Shrek Academy.
How deep of an affection could withstand the erosion of time?
Didn't Li Tian bring Xue Qinghe every time he came to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?
Wasn't that obvious enough?
Chen Xin's sigh directly silenced Ning Fengzhi.
He wasn't stupid.
With just a little thought, he understood the meaning behind Elder Chen Xin's sigh.
Perhaps, he had been wrong from the very beginning.
At that time, when he said he wanted to send Ning Rongrong to Shrek Academy, Elder Chen Xin had tried to stop him.
But he hadn't paid attention.
He had only thought Elder Chen Xin disliked him displaying Ning Rongrong like a commodity.
Now it seemed that wasn't the case.
"Support him, help him deal with Tang Hao; perhaps we can salvage some of the situation."
Gu Rong said.
He and Chen Xin had bickered for many years; how could he not guess the other's thoughts?
It was just with Fengzhi's personality...
