Chapter 70 - Chapter 70 Dongfang Yao's Difficulties?

Tang Hao's Fury! The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's Movements!

Life at Notting Academy was somewhat dull for Dongfang Jing.

He had previewed his sister's textbooks and found that the content was all very basic knowledge.

Therefore, every time he went to class, he would climb to the top of the teaching building to meditate and cultivate, so that he wouldn't disturb others and could keep an eye on what was happening in the classroom.

For Dongfang Yao, academic subjects were generally not difficult for her.

But no one is perfect, and she really encountered the most difficult problem in her history—mathematics!

She could recite the history of Douluo Continent, the Soul Master cultivation system, and the characteristics of Soul Beasts fluently.

But she got a headache when she encountered numbers and symbols, especially word problems and logic puzzles, which drove her crazy.

At his desk in the dormitory, Dongfang Jing was tutoring his sister.

"First question, 6 horses pull a cart and travel 6 miles. How many miles did each horse travel?"

Dongfang Yao scratched her head and answered uncertainly, "1 mile?"

"Me!" Dongfang Jing clutched his chest.

"Sigh, let's look at the second question first: In a building, at a constant speed, it took Grandpa 6 minutes to walk from the 1st floor to the 3rd floor. At this speed, how many more minutes will it take him to walk to the 6th floor?"

The little girl calculated again and again on the draft paper with a brush, and finally looked up excitedly: "12 minutes!"

Dongfang Jing's vision went black, and he almost fainted.

"No, that's not right?" Dongfang Yao asked weakly, somewhat timidly.

Seeing his sister's pitiful appearance, Dongfang Jing's helplessness immediately dissipated.

He gently rubbed his sister's soft cheeks and continued to patiently explain.

Around the Heaven Dou Imperial City, there is a city called Seven Treasures City.

It is one of the very few cities on the Douluo Continent that does not have a Spirit Hall.

In the center of the city, a tall tower with green as the main color and a hexagonal flying eaves design reaches into the clouds.

This tower is one of the three upper sects, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.

Inside the council hall,Ning Fengzhi sat upright on a rosewood carved chair, discussing sect affairs with Sword Douluo Chen Xin and Bone Douluo Gu Rong beside him.

Suddenly, a dark figure swept into the main hall with incredible speed and knelt on one knee.

"Reporting to the Sect Master!"

The newcomer was panting heavily, his robes embroidered with the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect emblem. He respectfully said,

"I have found the whereabouts of the brother and sister you instructed me to keep an eye on two years ago!"

Ning Fengzhi was slightly taken aback. Troubled by numerous miscellaneous matters, he couldn't recall which brother and sister it was for the moment.

Chen Xin whispered a reminder, "Sect Master, it's that silver-haired boy with the little girl from the Water Ripples City auction two years ago."

"It's him!" Ning Fengzhi's eyes flashed with surprise.

Two years ago, that brother and sister suddenly disappeared, their whereabouts unknown.

Such a talented and compassionate young man, it would be a real pity to secretly eliminate him. Moreover, given his unheard-of escape technique that leaves no trace, even if they wanted to find him, it would be extremely difficult.

They had already roughly determined that the boy wouldn't join the Spirit Hall, nor did he seem to want to pledge allegiance to any sect.

Ning Fengzhi had originally intended to at least befriend him, even if he couldn't win him over. He would provide him with some insignificant resources for free; it would be best if the boy remembered this small favor. Later, when he grew stronger, he would have another neutral ally.

Of course, this was only one reason.

Secondly, Ning Fengzhi wasn't certain and needed to meet him personally to confirm.

To avoid alerting him, he secretly dispatched the sect's most capable reconnaissance spirit masters, along with several absolutely trusted disciples, to secretly investigate throughout the continent.

Especially in the Heaven Dou Empire, their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's businesses are spread across major cities. It can be said that every city with a name has members of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Even so, they couldn't meticulously search every household and every corner.

There are cities within the country, villages outside the cities, streets and alleys within the cities. Sending out only a few people is simply not enough. Unless a nationwide manhunt is launched and a large number of people are dispatched to search, it's impossible.

They thought the hope was slim, but unexpectedly, two years later, this young man reappeared!

"Have you confirmed his identity? Describe his characteristics," Ning Fengzhi pressed.

The reconnaissance soul master respectfully replied, "The silver-haired youth is tall and upright, with a cool and aloof temperament; the black-haired girl is exquisitely beautiful, lively and spirited. Most importantly, the youth wears a purple prismatic earring in his right ear, which is very likely the storage soul tool the sect leader mentioned, the Twin Star Vortex."

After listening, Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin exchanged a glance.

They were certain it was him, no doubt about it!

"Where are they?" The usually silent Chen Xin suddenly spoke, her tone carrying a hint of excitement.

"Reporting to Sword Douluo, in a small city called Notting City in the Fasno Province, they seem to have enrolled in a junior Soul Master Academy."

The journey from Notting City to Qibao City is long, nearly 2000 kilometers.

However, this pure agility-type Soul Emperor, specializing in speed, spared no effort, continuously using Soul Skills to travel, completing the journey in just six days.

"Notting City?" Ning Fengzhi frowned slightly; that was indeed quite far.

"You've worked hard. The sect will reward you accordingly. Go and collect your reward."

"Thank you, Sect Master!"

After the Soul Emperor withdrew,

Bone Douluo Gu Rong, seated, curiously sized up the two: "Is that the two-ring, thousand-year-old genius you mentioned? No wonder Old Sword Master is acting so strangely."   

This time, Chen Xin unusually ignored him, not wanting to waste time arguing.

She looked at Ning Fengzhi: "Fengzhi, what are your plans?"

Ning Fengzhi shook his head: "A distance of over a thousand kilometers is indeed quite far. That young man has many thoughts and exceptional talent, yet he still chose to enter the Junior Soul Master Academy. Perhaps it's just for his sister? What if they drop out early and leave Notting City? Wouldn't our long journey be a waste of time?"

"Hmm, that's true. Going on a long trip so casually makes us seem like we have nothing better to do," Chen Xin nodded.

Just as they were unsure what to do,a little girl in a flowing, glass-like dress with short, ear-length hair skipped into the main hall: "Daddy! Grandpa Sword! Grandpa Bone!"

Upon seeing the little girl, all three showed doting smiles.

Seeing his daughter, Ning Fengzhi suddenly had an idea: "Uncle Jian, hasn't Rongrong been away from home for a while?"

Chen Xin understood and her eyes lit up: "We can head towards Notting City, taking Rongrong sightseeing on the continent and also visiting Notting Academy. If that young man isn't at the academy, we can consider it taking our little princess on a trip!"

"Exactly." Ning Fengzhi smiled slightly, "If all goes well, we can also take this opportunity to let our little princess see what it means to be outmatched."

After saying that, he turned to Gu Rong, who was playing with Ning Rongrong, and said: "Uncle Gu, I'll have to trouble you to stay at the sect and oversee things."

"No problem, I wish you a safe journey."

Gu Rong was also very curious about what kind of young man could make his old rival so concerned.

Ning Rongrong blinked her big eyes, asking for a hug: "Daddy, where are we going?"

Ning Fengzhi hugged her and laughed: "Daddy's going to a place called Notting City, Rongrong, do you want to come along?"

"Yes! Rongrong wants to go!"

"Haha, okay, Daddy will take you. But let's make it clear first, you have to cultivate diligently on the way, understand?"

"Ah? Oh,"Ning Rongrong immediately looked unwilling, making the three of them laugh heartily.

In a valley not far from Holy Soul Village, a waterfall cascaded like a silver river, and the pool was crystal clear.

A figure wearing a tattered cloak slowly walked to the edge of the pool, gazing at the cascading waterfall, a tender look in his eyes.

Tang Hao flashed and leaped onto the opposite reef.

The Clear Sky Hammer appeared out of thin air, and he soared into the sky, his immense soul power causing the rapids to surge upwards.

He pressed his hand precisely against the rock wall behind the waterfall and slipped into a cave.

After Tang San left home to enter Notting Academy, Tang Hao had been secretly protecting him.

Knowing his son was safe, he would occasionally take time to visit his wife in this cave.

"Ah Yin, I've come to see you." He took out a luminous stone, its soft light illuminating the cave.

The next second, his pupils contracted sharply.

Where was Ah Yin?

He flashed to the location he remembered, only to find that not only was the mound gone, but even the rock beneath it had been completely cut away.

Ah Yin had vanished!

He frantically searched other locations, thinking perhaps he had misremembered.

But after searching for a long time, he couldn't find even a blade of grass!

"Ah Yin! My Ah Yin! Who is she?!"

Tang Hao roared furiously, his nine spirit rings bursting forth uncontrollably, the terrifying spirit power causing the entire cave to tremble.

He raised his Clear Sky Hammer and smashed it wildly around him, his fierce roar echoing throughout the cave.

"Ah Yin...that's right! The spirit bone!"

He suddenly remembered and rushed to where the lead box had been hidden.

Seeing the box was still there, he breathed a slight sigh of relief .

But when he opened the box and found it empty, utter rage surged forth once more.

"Damn it! Who was it?! I'll make you wish you were dead!"

Tang Hao's eyes were bloodshot, his face contorted with rage.

After venting his anger, he staggered out of the cave, looking more haggard and worn than ever before.

His wife was gone, and her bones were gone too.

The more he thought about it, the angrier and more grief-stricken he became, an endless wave of regret washing over him.

If only he had carried the soul bone with him!

The thief hadn't left a trace; where could he even begin to search?

He'd lost Ah Yin's seed, Ah Yin's soul bone—what else was left?

"Yes, I still have my mistress! That's right, my mistress is my hope!"

Thinking of his son's twin martial souls, Tang Hao forced himself to stay awake, his figure flashing as he sped towards Notting Academy.
