Chapter 146: Request

Hearing that it was Ning Mingrui's voice, Ning Feiliu immediately opened the gate.

Sure enough, he saw his elder brother Ning Mingrui standing outside the gate; upon seeing him appear, his expression was somewhat complex.

"Big Brother, you... have you thought it through?" Ning Feiliu understood immediately and said with a smile.

"Feiliu... I actually still want to ask you one thing." Ning Mingrui did not answer directly, but hesitated for a moment before asking in a low voice.

"What is it?"

Ning Mingrui looked around, stepped forward very cautiously, leaned close to Ning Feiliu's ear, and asked in a low voice, "Your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda martial soul, did it... evolve into nine levels and become the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda from the sect's legends?"

Ning Feiliu had nothing to hide, so he nodded directly and said, "Yes... this is the effect of an Immortal Herb called the Qiluo Tulip. This Immortal Herb is the Immortal Herb King, and since it inherently possesses the attribute of Extreme Gold, it can help our martial souls take a step further."

"Perhaps..." Ning Feiliu no longer resisted this matter; after all, he wanted to help Ning Mingrui seize the position of heir to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect from Ning Rongrong, and it was unlikely he could do so without stepping forward to negotiate terms.

Ning Feiliu had occupied the original owner's body and identity, but when it came down to it, he ultimately had to live for himself.

"Being a little kinder to one's younger siblings and family, how can that be considered merciful?" Ning Mingrui stood up with a smile; he knew that Ning Feiliu had agreed to him.

At the very least... it wasn't because Ning Mingrui, as an elder brother, had left the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect long ago after obtaining the Crescent Moon Divine Weapon martial soul set.

Ning Mingrui's personality... was indeed very suitable for being a Sect Master and the head of a family. Perhaps he was not as clever as Ning Fengzhi, but he was fair, and he cared deeply for his relatives regardless of their talent or strength.

The previous few times, it hadn't been Ning Feiliu looking for trouble with Ning Rongrong; it was just her taking the initiative to give Ning Feiliu an opportunity to act.

Ning Mingrui's words reminded Ning Feiliu of the people at Shrek Academy ostracizing Ning Rongrong in the original plot.

But she didn't go so far as to commit evil for pleasure or be unforgivably wicked.

Hearing Ning Feiliu's persuasive words, Ning Mingrui only sighed and said, "I actually understand what you mean, Feiliu... you don't need to say any more, but I still hope you won't hold a grudge against Rongrong in the future; after all, we are family."

And with Ning Feiliu's help, Ning Mingrui could instead break through to level 80 soul power or even level 90 soul power, sit in the position of Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and later on, becoming a god was not out of the question.

Ning Rongrong would at most be an Elder of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect in the future; unable to break through to level 90 soul power, she would only have the lifespan of an ordinary mortal.

It was just that he could not forgive her, nor could he forgive her on behalf of the original owner.

Why bother with her?

Ning Feiliu did indeed intend that although he could not forgive her, nor could he forgive Ning Rongrong on behalf of the original owner, he would not do anything to Ning Rongrong either.

Having said that, Ning Mingrui actually felt his legs go weak and was about to kneel to him.

Truly, to kill Ning Rongrong just to avenge the original owner's death—a grudge only he knew about—would indeed be going too far.

Ning Mingrui was stunned for a moment; he sighed deeply and then said solemnly, "Sigh... Feiliu, Big Brother doesn't think Rongrong is really as you say, someone who doesn't care about family kindness and only learns when taught by outsiders, and having outsiders teach her is, after all, a disgraceful thing... forget it."

However, he could not judge Ning Rongrong because of this, especially since, in the eyes of outsiders, he had just fallen into the water and had a major illness.

Just as mentioned before, what could he do to this "younger sister" Ning Rongrong?

"When the time comes, as Sect Master, you will be able to pass down the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda martial soul!"

However, Ning Mingrui sighed and said, "I know what you mean, Feiliu, but what I want to say is... we are siblings, I don't ask you to help Rongrong as you help me, but in front of outsiders, I hope you will help Rongrong regardless, and not let outsiders make a joke of us."

"Big Brother... sometimes, I really admire you. You are a truly good person, which is why I feel even more that you are more qualified than anyone else to sit in Father's position." Ning Feiliu shook his head and said with a smile.

Facing Ning Mingrui's attitude of really wanting to kneel and beg him if he didn't agree, Ning Feiliu also sighed and compromised, "Big Brother, sometimes you... are really too merciful."

"Big Brother, I have thought about it. Although this Immortal Herb has already been consumed by me, I will sooner or later master the cultivation techniques for Immortal Herbs in the future. By then, you will also have the opportunity to consume this Immortal Herb and evolve your martial soul."

Ning Feiliu could roughly understand that she had gone too far with her pranks, accidentally leading to the original owner's death.

When Ning Feiliu achieved a God Position and enjoyed eternal life, he would freely look down from the God Realm at Ning Rongrong sinking and dying of old age in the mortal world.

He took a deep breath and pleaded, "Big Brother knows you already have your own ideas, and Big Brother cannot persuade you... just consider it Big Brother begging you, in the future, no matter what, in front of outsiders, treat Rongrong as your younger sister and protect her a little."

Ning Mingrui did not really force himself to kneel, but looked at him with bright, piercing eyes, "Feiliu, are you willing to promise me?"

But that time it was indeed Ning Rongrong's fault, and if this little ingrate Ning Rongrong really needed outsiders to teach her a lesson to learn to restrain her arrogant personality, then Ning Feiliu felt it would be better to let Tang San, Dai Mubai, and those people give Ning Rongrong a big one.

Perhaps Ning Rongrong didn't do it on purpose; as one could tell from the original plot, although this arrogant little princess could not have all her crimes erased by the phrase "her nature isn't bad."

"Hey! Big Brother!" Ning Feiliu hurriedly grabbed him, not letting him kneel to him.

Ning Feiliu shook his head and said, "Big Brother, you might have some misunderstandings about me. Although I don't like Ning Rongrong, I have never taken the initiative to look for trouble with her; every time it is she who comes to look for trouble with me... actually, as long as she settles down, I won't do anything to her."

It is precisely because of this that he can win the hearts of the sect members.

Therefore, Ning Feiliu was noncommittal and said indifferently, "Big Brother, if letting outsiders handle it can make her wake up, why help her? Sometimes, if she doesn't listen to family and only learns when taught by outsiders, I think it is appropriate."

Without the Qiluo Tulip, even with Tang San's help, it would be difficult for Ning Rongrong to break through to level 80 soul power again.

"I am just a dull person... but since I have already agreed to your request, Feiliu, you should be able to tell Father about your current changes now, right?" Ning Mingrui said with a smile at this moment.

Just confess all this directly to Ning Fengzhi?

It was somewhat inappropriate.

"Take it slow, there is no rush for this matter for now." Ning Feiliu said immediately.
