Chapter 332: Ning Rongrong Files a Complaint; The Scheme of the Seven Treasures

"Father, Sword Grandpa, Bone Grandpa, you must stand up for me! That Nan Feihuang relied on his strong soul power at Yuexuan to oppress me, forcing me to kneel to him. I have lost all face in front of all the nobles. If you don't help me take revenge, Rongrong won't go on living!"

Inside the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, as soon as Ning Rongrong returned home, she began to cry and complain to the three most senior elders of the family, bitterly denouncing Nan Feihuang's crimes.

"Hmph, what a Nan Feihuang, daring to bully even Rongrong. Does he really think my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is weak?" Gu Rong angrily snapped the armrest of his seat.

He had long been full of resentment toward the Gu Lei Kingdom; it would not be an exaggeration to even call it a deep-seated hatred.

If Chen Xin's condition could be hidden from Ning Rongrong, how could it be hidden from him?

After all, they often sparred, but for the past two years, Chen Xin had always used various excuses to avoid fighting, which soon made Gu Rong sense that something was wrong.

Finally, under Gu Rong's persistent questioning, Chen Xin had to tell the truth, and later Ning Fengzhi also found out.

Now, only three people in the entire sect knew this secret. If it were to spread, it would cause panic within the sect; after all, if even the Sword Douluo was crippled, what sense of security would they have left?

Ning Fengzhi was naturally angry too. He hadn't expected that the words Lan Xue said back then—that she had saved the Haotian Douluo but crippled the Sword Douluo—meant this.

He had wanted to go to the Gu Lei Kingdom immediately, no matter the cost, to make Lan Xue undo the Ice and Fire Power on Chen Xin.

It was just that Chen Xin refused. Chen Xin knew that even if Lan Xue agreed to help, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would inevitably have to pay a huge price, and that price might be one the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect could not bear.

Chen Xin would rather endure it like this than see the sect suffer humiliation.

Seeing Chen Xin in this state, how could the hatred Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong felt toward the Gu Lei Kingdom not grow day by day?

Ning Fengzhi also knew that begging the Gu Lei Kingdom would certainly be useless. The best method was to find an opportunity to coerce them into saving the Sword Douluo.

Looking at Ning Rongrong, who was currently acting spoiled with Gu Rong, perhaps this time was a good opportunity.

"That's right, Bone Grandpa, go help me capture him. I want him to kneel and kowtow three loud times to me before I let him go," Ning Rongrong said with great seriousness. "After all, I am the successor Sect Master of the sect. If I am humiliated, it means the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is humiliated. If we don't retaliate, won't the people of the world think our sect is easy to bully? Right, Fatty?"

Ma Hongjun immediately chimed in, "The Young Miss is right. I was kind enough to specifically take that Nan Feihuang to Yuexuan, but I didn't expect him to return kindness with ingratitude and bully me and the Young Miss. I ask the Sect Master and the two Elders to decide."

"Mm, I understand. Rongrong, don't worry. The successor Sect Master of my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect certainly cannot be humiliated. Father will definitely seek justice for you regarding this matter. Go down and rest first; you must be tired after returning from your studies at Yuexuan," Ning Fengzhi said in a deep voice.

"Hee hee, I knew Father was the best to me. Thank you, Father." Upon hearing this, Ning Rongrong left the Seven Treasure Hall with a beaming smile.

Ning Fengzhi never lied to her. Since he said he would help her seek justice, he would definitely take action.

Now Nan Feihuang was going to be miserable. She was already thinking about how she would torture Nan Feihuang when the time came.

Due to the existence of the Profound Ice Douluo and the Poison Douluo, she certainly couldn't kill him—Ning Rongrong still had that much sense of proportion—but bullying him a little would be no problem.

"Decided, I want to make him kneel and lick my shoes, both feet must be licked."

Nan Feihuang dared to make her kneel in full view of everyone, so she would return it tenfold, making him both kneel and lick.

After Ning Rongrong left, Chen Xin looked at Ning Fengzhi with a grave expression and asked, "Fengzhi, are you really planning to make a move against Nan Feihuang?"

He knew Ning Fengzhi's true purpose very well; he feared it wasn't just to vent Ning Rongrong's anger, but for his sake.

Wanting to take advantage of when Nan Feihuang was alone to capture him, and then use that to force the Profound Ice Douluo to undo the shackles of the Ice and Fire Power for him—it must be so.

But if they did this, the hatred between the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Gu Lei Kingdom would truly have no room for mitigation.

"Uncle Jian, this time is a good opportunity. You know Lan Xue's temper; it is absolutely impossible to go and beg her. For these two years, I have also tried very hard to find ways to ease the relationship with the Gu Lei Kingdom, but it was completely useless. You also know how cold their attitude is. Even if Qing He helps, it is to no avail. But everyone knows that Nan Feihuang is the most important person in Lan Xue's life. As long as Nan Feihuang is in our hands, I am not afraid she won't submit."

"Moreover, we have a legitimate reason this time. Nan Feihuang used soul power to force Rongrong to kneel, damaging the face of my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect—this is a fact. We will use this as an excuse to bring Nan Feihuang to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to properly 'educate' him. As long as we don't truly harm his life, people from other factions won't be able to say anything," Ning Fengzhi said very firmly, clearly having already made his decision.

This matter was imperative.

Even if the hatred between the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Gu Lei Kingdom became even greater afterward, so what?

It was better than the Sword Douluo being crippled. One must know that the Sword Douluo was the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's number one expert; losing such great combat power was the true loss for the sect.

In any case, the Gu Lei Kingdom and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect were far apart, and both were forces supporting the Heaven Dou Empire. Even if the rift was large, with the Heaven Dou Empire and Xue Qinghe mediating in the middle, could they really launch a frontal attack? At worst, they could give a little more compensation afterward as an apology, give the Gu Lei Kingdom enough face to have a way to step down, and then never have any contact again.

"Uncle Gu, this matter is left to you. Also, pass down the order: during this period, Rongrong is not to go anywhere; she is to stay obediently within the sect," Ning Fengzhi ordered.

His plan still had one flaw, which was that they could capture Nan Feihuang, but Lan Xue could also capture Ning Rongrong.

Therefore, before the deal was reached, Rongrong had to be well protected.

As for the other children, even Ning Fengzhi's own sons, their status in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect could not compare to what Nan Feihuang was to the Gu Lei Kingdom.

And it could not compare to what the Sword Douluo was to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Even if Ning Fengzhi had to sacrifice them, he would not compromise.

Lan Xue knew this point very well. Among the people she could capture, only Ning Rongrong was useful; the others were unequal bargaining chips, and she couldn't be bothered to waste the effort.

At this moment, Ning Fengzhi could be said to have displayed the ruthlessness of a Sect Master to the fullest. In order for the sect to preserve the Title Douluo combat power that was the Sword Douluo, he could even abandon the lives of his own sons.

"I understand, you can rest assured, Fengzhi. When Nan Feihuang returns to the Gu Lei Kingdom alone on the road, I will make my move. Capturing a lone Nan Feihuang is no difficulty for me. However, that Dugu Bo is also in Tiandou City at this time. If he intervenes, that would be a bit troublesome," Bone Douluo said. Now, no one would underestimate Dugu Bo anymore.

After all, his battle record was fought out. Even the two Title Douluos, Chrysanthemum and Ghost, couldn't beat Dugu Bo in a wheel battle. Even if Bone Douluo went up to fight him one-on-one, he wouldn't dare to claim victory easily.

Ning Fengzhi smiled confidently. "Rest assured, recently Prince Xue Xing was assassinated and died. With Dugu Bo's personality of repaying both kindness and grudges and his stubborn temper, he will definitely stay in the city to investigate the truth. He won't return to the Gu Lei Kingdom in the short term. He won't be following Nan Feihuang. Uncle Gu, feel free to act."

"Good, then, everything is left to me!" Gu Rong guaranteed. A mere Nan Feihuang was not even in his eyes.
