Chapter 179: Self-Awareness

……

"No, how come you brought two more back?"

At the Saintess Hall, after hearing the news of Nan Feng's return, Dugu Yan and her group quickly rushed over.

Only, looking at these two new faces, everyone's expression was somewhat off.

You can bring two back when you go out alone—we understand. But how can you bring two more people back when you go out with people? Are you kidding?

"What kind of look is that?" Nan Feng asked doubtfully.

"A look of being accustomed to it," Xiao Wu said.

"If you didn't bring two back, I would actually be a bit unaccustomed."

If Nan Feng went out without bringing people, there would definitely be more serious things!

If he brought two people back, the problem wouldn't be too big; at least it could still be solved.

After all, if he still had the leisure to flirt with little girls, there definitely wouldn't be any major problems.

"For the next period of time, you all stay here first and try not to go out," Nan Feng said.

"Although the possibility of problems is not high, if there really is a problem, it will be troublesome."

Bi Ji was a pure healing type; although she had hundreds of thousands of years of cultivation, she still had some combat power, but here, it was really of no use.

Although Zi Ji's cultivation was not high, as one of the few pure-blooded true dragons, her combat power was second only to Di Tian and Xiong Jun, but in Wuhun City, it was still of no use.

"Of course, if you are interested in the outside and want to go out for a walk, try to let Xue Di take you together," Nan Feng said.

"Or let Nana take you; absolutely do not act alone."

"You have already warned us no less than ten times on this journey," Zi Ji said unhappily.

"Do I look like that kind of troublesome brat?"

"Yes," Nan Feng said.

"I am not very worried about her, but you—I am truly worried."

Before going out, Di Tian warned her that Zi Ji was very warlike!

The reason she was quiet in the Life Lake was because she couldn't beat Di Tian, and Xiong Jun could also suppress her. To put it bluntly, Zi Ji had been beaten in the Life Lake.

But in this Wuhun City, with the Spirit Master Tournament now, Titled Douluo were everywhere, and there were a bunch of them in the open and in the dark. If someone targeted her...

……

"Elder Nan Feng, you've finally returned."

On the way to the Pope Palace, Nan Feng was caught by Ning Fengzhi, who was lying in ambush on the side of the road.

"What's wrong?" Nan Feng asked doubtfully.

"The situation in Wuhun City is a bit out of control now," Ning Fengzhi pulled Nan Feng aside.

"Uncle Gu discovered people from the Clear Sky Sect last night."

"What's wrong?" Nan Feng asked doubtfully.

"I sent invitations to the Clear Sky Sect; isn't it normal for them to send people?"

Ning Fengzhi's eye twitched. "They sent three Titled Douluo, and Tang Xiao even came. Moreover, Tang Xiao made an appointment to meet me outside Wuhun City tonight."

"Go then," Nan Feng said.

"Even if a fight really breaks out, are you still not confident in Gu Rong's ability to run away?"

Not to mention three, even ten Titled Douluo couldn't catch Gu Rong.

Space ability is very unsolvable when used to run away.

"But they want me to bring Tang San, Yu Xiaogang, and Tai Luo over," Ning Fengzhi said.

"Hmm?" Nan Feng was stunned.

"I understand Tang San, but what are Yu Xiaogang and Tai Luo going there for?"

"Could it be that the relationship between the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect and the Clear Sky Sect has improved?"

Among the Upper Three Sects, the Clear Sky Sect is the most arrogant, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect always acts as a peacemaker, and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect is strong on the outside but weak on the inside, with only Yu Yuanzhen holding up the facade.

The Clear Sky Sect looks down on all spirit masters in the world equally and is as self-centered as the Six-Winged Angel Family, and Yu Yuanzhen's temper is stubborn, so the relationship between these two families has always been not very good.

Back when the Spirit Hall sent troops against the Clear Sky Sect, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect at least persuaded them in name, but the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect wished for these two families to fight to the death.

If it were said that Ning Fengzhi was leading this matter, thinking of uniting the Upper Three Sects, then he could understand it, but the Clear Sky Sect?

Stop kidding.

The arrogant Clear Sky Sect has never had allies.

"I don't know, but..." Ning Fengzhi was a bit worried.

"Could it be that Tang Chen really came?"

Nan Feng paused. "It's possible."

If Tang Chen had returned, in order to avoid the upcoming battle in Wuhun City from turning into a real chaotic brawl, it is truly possible that he would want to unite everyone to work against the Spirit Hall.

After all, no matter how awesome Tang Chen is, this is Wuhun City, and Qian Daoliu can contain him.

On the Clear Sky Sect side, besides a Tang Chen, only Tang Hao and Tang Xiao can barely be brought to the table.

The Spirit Hall's Titled Douluo, both in quantity and quality, are above the Clear Sky Sect. If they don't pull in some allies, once a fight breaks out, it's possible that before Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen finish fighting, the people the Clear Sky Sect sent will be wiped out.

"Who else did they call?" Nan Feng asked. "Not sure, but they should have contacted all the people from the big spirit master families who have arrived in Wuhun City," Ning Fengzhi said.

"If nothing unexpected happens, this setup was made by Tang Xiao."

Because Tang Xiao was alienated by Nan Feng back then and killed two of his own sect's Elders with his own hands, he has been ostracized in the Clear Sky Sect for these years.

Now that Tang Chen has returned, if Tang Xiao wants to stabilize people's hearts, he naturally has to do something.

Otherwise, based on his memory of Tang Chen, that old guy should appreciate Tang Hao more.

"Go see the situation. It just so happens that if I lose here, you also have a way out," Nan Feng said.

Ning Fengzhi's eye twitched. "A way out?"

Are you sure this isn't a threat to me?

"Not joking, I'm serious," Nan Feng said.

"The so-called struggle only requires the head to be life-and-death. Except for the head, the middle and lower levels can change their allegiance at any time. If I lose, then there is no need to continue fighting, and it is natural for you to surrender."

"Anyway, after this time, regardless of winning or losing, it's time for me to take my final bow."

Ning Fengzhi was silent for a moment. "You plan to run away?"

"More or less. If I take my final bow at this point in time, regardless of the result, I can be considered a legend," Nan Feng said.

"If I continue to stay, it won't be good for anyone."

"As for what you do after I leave, that is your own business."

……

"Don't look at me with those resentful eyes."

Inside the Pope Palace, Nan Feng looked at Qian Renxue, who was blocking his way, with some mental fatigue.

"I heard you brought two more back?" Qian Renxue said.

"Want to use your 'stepmother theory' to argue with me again?" Nan Feng walked past her.

"If you don't want to force me to beat you up as soon as I get back, you'd better not say it."

"First of all, I don't count as your stepfather, and they aren't your stepmothers."

"Secondly, even if they were, you're just a little brat—what business is it of yours to manage adult affairs?"

"Finally, if you really can't help it, think about your grandfather."

Qian Renxue's expression stalled. "Besides threats, do you have any other means?"

"I do, but this move is the most efficient; I'm used to using it," Nan Feng said.

"Where is she?" Qian Renxue asked.

"In seclusion," Nan Feng said.

After returning to Wuhun City, Bibi Dong returned to the Rakshasa Secret Realm for seclusion; this was the only thing she could do now.

Before going into seclusion, she had already arranged for the Spirit Master Tournament to be postponed by one month to give everyone time to rest and adjust.

"What... exactly do you plan to do next?" Qian Renxue asked.

"Are you truly dying, or faking your death?"

"Does it matter?" Nan Feng asked.

"Anyway, I won't be an eyesore to you in the future."

Regardless of success or failure, he would not continue to stay here.

Otherwise, he was afraid that he would get a whim and cause trouble again.

"Anything else?" Nan Feng asked.

"If not, I'm going to use this place; please excuse yourself."

"If you want to watch, I suggest you turn into the appearance of Xue Qinghe."

Qian Renxue was silent for a while. "Do I leave you so speechless?"

"It's that we have nothing to say to each other in the first place," Nan Feng said.

Strictly speaking, he and Qian Renxue are enemies.

Regardless of the Qian Xunji matter or the Spirit Hall matter, they have grudges.

It's just that Qian Renxue has never been able to grasp the key point.

She hates him, but doesn't know where to start hating.

Therefore, she looks like a little girl making unreasonable trouble.

The most critical point is that Qian Renxue herself is unreasonable, but she has no self-awareness; she thinks she is reasonable, upright, and righteous.

She is not a good person, but she also can't bring herself to be a villain, so she can only try her best to convince herself that everything she does is for a beautiful tomorrow.

But this kind of self-hypnosis is something she herself cannot accept many times.

Light illuminates others, but darkness can take more.

She is unwilling to give up her upright and righteous status, but she is also reluctant to give up the actual benefits brought by darkness.

Contradictory without knowing it—this is the root of Qian Renxue's awkwardness.
