Chapter 123: Choice difficulty

……

Three months later.

Ever since Ning Rongrong took the medicine, the Seven Treasure Glazed Pagoda successfully evolved into a Nine Treasure Glazed Pagoda. Regarding this situation, Ning Fengzhi didn't know whether to be happy or worried.

He didn't dare to put the future of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect on Nan Feng, because what Nan Feng did was too dangerous, and the risk was too great. One carelessness, and that would be death without a whole corpse.

Moreover, if Nan Feng didn't do it thoroughly enough, after him, the Douluo Continent would soon return to its former state. At that time, what would be the fate of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect that supported Nan Feng? He didn't dare to gamble, because this investment was high-risk and had no return! What Nan Feng did had no benefit to him or the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect! If Nan Feng succeeded, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would still be the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, because they didn't rely on force to dominate like other sects, nor were they forced by power like the Spirit Hall. They relied on credit and a trading network spread across the continent. Even if society changed, everyone still needed to trade. Commerce could not disappear. And if Nan Feng failed, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would still be the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Whether this world was dominated by Spirit Masters or everyone else made no difference to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect; their nature was just like that. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was an investor, but once the investor personally entered the field to operate, it was dangerous. Simple investment, even if it lost money, was just losing the invested funds, but if you personally entered the field, once you lost, what you lost was more than money.

Thinking for a long time, Ning Fengzhi still couldn't make a decision.

Not messing with Nan Feng, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would at most be a little weaker, but following him, it was a matter of success or death.

Finally, Ning Fengzhi decided to leave this choice to Ning Rongrong.

She was the next Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and the great reform about to happen on the Douluo Continent was something she needed to face.

So in this storm, how the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect should stand should be decided by Ning Rongrong, not him.

"Fengzhi, aren't you being a bit shameless?" Gu Rong said.

"How old is Rongrong? You let a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl make this kind of decision. Are you trying to crush her?"

Handing the choice of a sect's rise and fall to Ning Rongrong, a child, was this something a person could do? "She has the Nine Treasure Glazed Pagoda and has powerful talent. She can lead the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to new glory. This choice can only be made by her," Ning Fengzhi said.

"But she is still young, still a twelve-year-old girl," Gu Rong said.

Ning Fengzhi shook his head. "This has nothing to do with age."

"The Seven Treasure Glazed Pagoda martial soul can allow the possessor to distinguish treasures and gain insight into opportunities. This is the root of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's rise. Rongrong's Nine Treasure Glazed Pagoda can see further."

The higher the quality of the Seven Treasure Glazed Pagoda, the higher the sensitivity to treasures. And the Nine Treasure Glazed Pagoda is a martial soul that only exists in legends. He didn't know what the person who possessed this martial soul could see and sense, but it was definitely more and deeper than what he saw.

So on this matter, he couldn't give any suggestions. He could only support Ning Rongrong's choice.

……

Tiandou Royal Academy.

Ever since the Noble Reform Act back then, the atmosphere of the Tiandou Royal Academy had been completely different from before. Those who were worried about being targeted and chose to hide their talents could no longer hide them, and there was no value in hiding them anymore.

Either risk your life, or have your life risked.

Clearly, they had no choice.

The reform had been implemented for less than six years, and the nobles of the Tiandou Empire had already undergone great changes. Mergers, home raids, and those who couldn't play anymore and chose to defect to Star Luo and were convicted of treason—all kinds of reasons, all kinds of things were happening.

Although it looked like the Tiandou Empire had fallen into internal friction over these years, in fact, this decaying empire was radiating new vitality.

"What should I do..."

In the Tiandou Royal Training Ground, Ning Rongrong, who had returned from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, was lying on the edge of the field with a sorrowful face, watching Zhu Zhuyun and Hu Liena sparring and training.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Wu asked.

"My father let me decide the future of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect," Ning Rongrong said. "But I don't know how to choose. I don't dare to gamble."

Not taking sides, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is still the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Taking sides, the risk is great, and the return is almost zero.

Logically speaking, this kind of multiple-choice question doesn't need to use the brain at all. Even a fool knows to choose the plan that is stable and profitable.

However, this only looks like it.

Her father said that according to the current trend of development, there will definitely be a terrifying war involving the entire continent on the Douluo Continent within a hundred years! This is unavoidable! Nan Feng's approach has aroused too many contradictions, and the reason why it is still stable now is entirely because of his terrifying personal influence pressing it!

But this situation will not last long. Some contradictions cannot be solved by peaceful means; the only way is life or death! And once these contradictions break out, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect cannot stay out of it! Nan Feng doesn't mind them staying neutral, but others won't!

Even before Nan Feng took office, the Spirit Hall was thinking about making the Seven Great Sects submit!

That Pope Token issued to the Upper Three Sects itself was a kind of thing similar to the amnesty order of the two great empires.

Now they can stay neutral, but when the war breaks out in the future, they will still have to make a choice. Choosing now, although the risk is great, the power of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect can reduce many conflicts.

But if they are forced to take sides after the war breaks out, it will be dangerous.

"What's so difficult about this?" Xiao Wu asked, puzzled.

"You can choose whatever you want."

"It's not that simple. I have to be responsible for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect," Ning Rongrong said.

"Wait a minute." Xiao Wu put down the carrot in her hand and looked serious.

"You are the Young Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and also the future Sect Master, right?"

Ning Rongrong nodded.

"Your choice might determine whether the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect moves toward glory or destruction, right?" Xiao Wu asked.

"Mm." Ning Rongrong nodded.

"In other words, whether the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect lives or dies is actually determined by you, right?" Xiao Wu asked.

Ning Rongrong hesitated. "You can say that."

"Since their glory is brought by you, then if you bring destruction, shouldn't they accept it together?" Xiao Wu said.

Ning Rongrong was stunned. "Ah?"

"Isn't it?" Xiao Wu said.

"Those who can benefit from the glory you bring must be those who are inseparable from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. As for those workers who don't care whether the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect exists or not, do you think they care about the future of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?"

"In other words, whether the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect lives or dies is actually decided by you, right?" Xiao Wu asked.

"As for those who are inseparable from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, since they have enjoyed the benefits, shouldn't they also bear the risks?"

"If you choose correctly, they will also make money, and if you choose wrongly, shouldn't they also lose money?"

"You can't shout 'family' when making money, and then curse that it's all your fault when losing money, right?"

"Whether you succeed or fail, you only need to be responsible for yourself. You don't need to think so much at all. After all, if you choose wrongly, the one who loses the most is definitely yourself."

"Even you have already borne the consequences of failure, what qualifications do others have to complain about you?"

"……"

"If you choose correctly, they will profit along with you; if you choose wrongly, shouldn't they also suffer losses along with you?"

"You can't just shout that you're all one family when making money, and then curse that it's all your fault when losing money, right?"

"Whether you succeed or fail, you only need to be responsible for yourself. There is no need to think so much. After all, if you choose wrongly, the one who loses the most will definitely be you."

"Since you have already borne the consequences of failure yourself, what right do others have to complain about you?"
