Chapter 183: Resolution

Ning Feiliu said, "Big brother has a gentle temperament and treats everyone and everything with equality. He also places extreme importance on the sect, which is something I cannot do."

"As for talent... Big brother's talent was never poor to begin with, and with the addition of the Immortal Herb to evolve his martial soul, as well as my help, his future cultivation will absolutely not be weak."

However, at this moment, Sword Douluo shook his head directly and voiced his objection, "Rongrong's talent is better than Mingrui's. Since you, Feiliu, have no intention of taking the position of Sect Master, then let Rongrong do it."

He was still biased toward Ning Rongrong; he could make concessions because of Ning Feiliu, but that was because Ning Feiliu's strength and talent were beyond doubt.

For the sake of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's future, he could suppress his doting on Ning Rongrong.

But if Ning Feiliu were to say he would not be this successor, then Sword Douluo naturally still hoped more for Ning Rongrong to be that successor.

After all, no matter how you put it, Ning Rongrong's talent was simply better than Ning Mingrui's.

In any world, talent and strength are supreme; what could Ning Mingrui possibly have that surpasses Ning Rongrong?

Sword Douluo's line of thinking was, of course, not wrong, even though he was biased toward Ning Rongrong.

It was just that he did not quite understand that Ning Feiliu was filled with loathing for Ning Rongrong.

"Jian Yeye..." Ning Feiliu took a deep breath, his gaze turning sharp; he chose not to beat around the bush or obscure his true thoughts anymore.

"If it is her, I will not cultivate a single Immortal Herb for the sect," he said indifferently.

Sword Douluo and Ning Fengzhi were both stunned upon hearing this.

Then, Ning Fengzhi's expression became quite helpless, while Sword Douluo was somewhat confused.

In truth, whether in the eyes of Sword Douluo or Bone Douluo, they were not clear about the conflicts between Ning Rongrong and Ning Feiliu.

Even when Ning Rongrong had previously been punished by Ning Fengzhi and placed in confinement because of Ning Feiliu, they had only felt a little heartache for Ning Rongrong.

But after that, they neither hated Ning Feiliu by association because of Ning Rongrong, nor did they take the "slight" conflicts between these juniors to heart.

To put it bluntly, Ning Feiliu had previously been a transparent person who was almost ignored.

Not only Ning Feiliu, but Ning Xiaosi, Ning Xiaowu, and even the second brother Ning Shouzong were basically existences ignored by Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo.

After all, they were Supreme Elders; with so many juniors, it was impossible to attend to every single one, and most of their doting was given to Ning Rongrong.

Let alone elders a generation removed, even parents dare not guarantee they can fully attend to multiple biological children; in most cases, one child will be slightly neglected.

With two children, the older one will be neglected slightly more, and the youngest will be doted on more; with three children, it is usually the middle child who gets neglected.

Ning Feiliu happened to be that middle one, and having never displayed any talent, he would of course be neglected somewhat.

As for those slight conflicts between him and Ning Rongrong, Sword Douluo had forgotten them by now.

So he truly did not understand what Ning Feiliu's words meant.

Ning Rongrong's face was pale at this time; she naturally knew why Ning Feiliu said this.

"Rongrong... what is the matter?" Sword Douluo asked in confusion, "And Feiliu! This is the sect! How can you treat the sect that gave birth to you and raised you like this?"

"The grace of birth and upbringing truly cannot be forgotten." Ning Feiliu nodded, then his right hand brushed over the Soul Guidance Device at his waist, and a piece of paper and a pen appeared in his hand.

He was seen writing characters neatly on the paper one after another; after more than ten seconds, he finished writing completely and put the pen away.

Just as Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo were confused, he presented the paper to Ning Fengzhi with both hands and said, "Father, Jian Yeye, this is the formula for the Mysterious Water Pill. I still have two Mysterious Water Pills here; this is what I use to repay the sect for the grace of birth and upbringing."

"As for her... I do not want to say much, but if the sect falls into her hands in the future, Father, I will say it again: the sect will surely face a catastrophic disaster." Ning Fengzhi took the Mysterious Water Pill formula with trembling hands; Ning Feiliu was Yafei, so naturally, this Mysterious Water Pill formula was absolutely real.

And the value of this Mysterious Water Pill formula could be called priceless; just by this formula alone, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's future wealth and even its overall strength would rise to a higher level.

But compared to Ning Feiliu's Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda martial soul evolution method, the Crescent Divine Weapon Casting Method, and Ning Feiliu's own talent and potential, this Mysterious Water Pill formula was like a single hair from nine oxen.

Ning Fengzhi took a deep breath and said, "Feiliu... no matter what, Rongrong is your younger sister, and back then it was nothing more than a child's temperament!"

Sword Douluo also seemed to understand something, but he also said in a deep voice, "Feiliu, you are being too excessive. I don't know what happened between you and Rongrong, but you and Rongrong are siblings born of the same father and mother! How can you treat her like this?!"

Ning Feiliu chuckled and said, "Jian Yeye... why not ask what she once did to make me, this 'older brother', loathe her so much?"

He then said to Ning Fengzhi, "Father, since that time, I have already died. The past Ning Feiliu has already died..."

"The current me will no longer continue to like a 'younger sister' who once killed me."

"Still the same words: even if you and Jian Yeye want to force me now, I would rather die than cultivate a single Immortal Herb for a sect that honors someone who once murdered me as its Sect Master!" Ning Feiliu said decisively, "At worst, I will slice off my flesh to return to my father and strip my bones to return to my mother! There is also this Mysterious Water Pill formula to repay the sect for the grace of birth and upbringing!"

Once these words were spoken, everyone present was shocked and frozen in place.

Ning Feiliu's words were so resolute, as if he wanted to break completely with Ning Rongrong.

However, would Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo really force Ning Feiliu to his death because of this?

Ning Feiliu was Ning Fengzhi's biological son and Sword Douluo's junior; based on this alone, they would not force Ning Feiliu to his death.

What's more, Ning Feiliu's existence was the future of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Erasing the future of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's potential rise—unless Ning Feiliu were not a direct disciple of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and held a blood feud with it, Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo might have a reason to force Ning Feiliu to his death to prevent the sect from being destroyed now.

But Ning Feiliu was only at odds with Ning Rongrong now; they truly could not destroy the sect's future themselves.

Ning Feiliu was also very clear about this point.

Ning Rongrong's face turned even paler; she gripped her cute little skirt tightly with both hands, her mind filled with only—

"Could it be that I was really wrong?"

"Feiliu... do you really have to be so heartless?" Ning Fengzhi pursed his lips and said with a dry throat.

Ning Feiliu said indifferently, "It is not that I am heartless; I just do not like her. If I had a choice, why would I not choose big brother, who treats me better, to be your successor, Father, instead of choosing a 'good younger sister' who intended to kill me and, afterward, shouted at me and spoke evil words?"

Hearing this, Ning Fengzhi also understood Ning Feiliu's feelings somewhat.

He immediately regretted it; if he had strictly reprimanded Ning Rongrong back then and made her politely apologize to Ning Feiliu and show some concern, would such a thing have happened?

Sword Douluo sighed and said, "Feiliu, why must you be like this? Must the two siblings reach such a point of life and death?"

"Jian Yeye, you are overthinking it. Life and death... it has not reached that level. I do not want to kill her; no matter what... she is indeed my 'younger sister'." Ning Feiliu gave a mocking laugh and said, "As for fratricide, she has done such things to me, but I will not do it. I do not want to become the kind of person I once hated the most."

"I just think that big brother is more suitable to be the next Sect Master than her, a hundred times more suitable."

Ning Mingrui remained silent at this time, while Ning Rongrong's heart was already full of remorse...

To be viewed as an enemy by the brother who once doted on her, she had... truly been wrong.
