Chapter 350: Ning Fengzhi Visits; Nan Feihuang

Time passed day by day, and Feihuang's learning speed was rapid; within a month, he had completely mastered the court's administrative affairs.

Furthermore, with the help of Xun Yu, he could process several days' worth of accumulated work within half a day.

This caused all the ministers of the Gu Lei Kingdom to exclaim that he possessed the aura of a natural-born king and would surely be a wise monarch in the future.

Unfortunately, they did not know that Nan Feihuang had little interest in this throne; he had only temporarily switched to civil duties because he could not use martial arts and his father had gone into seclusion.

Moreover, at this moment, this so-called "wise monarch" was indulging himself in feminine beauty.

Ever since Xue Ke arrived, Feihuang's recreational activities had become somewhat richer; in his spare time now, he would watch his two wives, one playing the zither and the other dancing to the music.

Xue Ke's musical proficiency had reached the level of a grandmaster, even capable of influencing people's moods; whenever Nan Feihuang felt troubled or depressed, her zither music could always calm him down quickly.

It could even help him enter the state of Entering Stillness as quickly as possible to circulate his cultivation technique and repair his bodily injuries.

Xue Ke's cultivation talent was not high, yet he had not expected that she would reach such heights in the way of music; as a great artist, Feihuang felt that she was actually no worse than anyone else just from this point alone.

It was merely a matter of specialization.

Qian Renxue had the fastest soul power cultivation speed, Lv Lingqi had the strongest combat skills, and she had the highest attainments in music.

Feihuang appreciated her more and more.

Lv Lingqi had also fully accepted this sister; the person dancing to the zither music at this moment was her. She was a military general and not skilled in the long-sleeved dancing of ordinary dancing girls, but she was proficient in all eighteen varieties of martial arts, though she was most skilled with the halberd.

In fact, her sword dances, saber dances, and chain dances were all extremely outstanding; one could only wonder how many heroes and gallants would be captivated by such a heroic and spirited dance.

In any case, Nan Feihuang was obsessed; after all, she was his own wife, and he did not need to pretend to be a saint who avoided women.

The fact that they did not sleep together in one bed was already a testament to his restraint.

Feihuang listened to the music and watched the dance, his fingers tapping the table in rhythm, his expression one of enjoyment.

"My Lord, someone is here to see you again," Xun Yu said as he walked in from outside.

Nan Feihuang stopped his finger movements; since he had been injured, everyone who should have come to visit him had already done so, and even the sister pair of Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er had not been absent, having come specifically to visit him.

They had only left after learning that he was safe and sound.

However, more than a month had passed now, and whoever came to visit at this time was likely not here for a sick visit.

He could guess who it was.

"Heh, Ning Fengzhi is quite patient, dragging it out for a month before coming; invite him and Sword Douluo in," Nan Feihuang laughed.

At this time, there would be no one else more anxious to see him than Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo. After all, after Bone Douluo died, the entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was effectively left without a single Title Douluo.

Ning Fengzhi must be very anxious now to find a way to remove the Ice and Fire Power from Sword Douluo and restore his cultivation.

With no Title Douluo guarding the sect, especially for a support-type sect, there was simply no sense of security at all.

Not long ago, the three of them from the Gu Lei Kingdom had just taken three collateral women from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect as wives; was this not the perfect excuse for Ning Fengzhi to visit the Gu Lei Kingdom? Therefore, Nan Feihuang had long known he would come.

Sword Douluo had also set aside his inner pride; for the sake of the sect and his granddaughter Ning Rongrong, he was willing to come and beg Nan Feihuang and Lan Xue.

"Understood!" Xun Yu smiled slightly; he found that his lord was becoming increasingly clever. Now, for many things, he did not need his guidance to know what to say or do, and he could even guess the upcoming actions of other factions.

Soon, he led Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo into the palace.

Seeing Feihuang listening to the elegant Princess playing music while watching a beautiful female general dancing, looking completely at ease, Ning Fengzhi said with a forced smile, "Crown Prince Feihuang, your life is truly comfortable."

"Heh, it can't be helped. I was severely injured by your Bone Douluo and nearly lost my life; now I can only recuperate, and every day I have to take medicine and handle government affairs. What is wrong with enjoying some leisure time?" Nan Feihuang did not even look up, only saying to Xue Ke and Lv Lingqi, "Ke'er, Lingqi, ignore this Sect Master Ning; let us continue the music and the dance."

Ning Fengzhi frowned; the Crown Prince's rude display toward him suggested deep resentment toward the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

But that was normal; Gu Rong's assassination attempt had nearly cost him his life, and it was normal for a young man not to swallow such an insult; it would be strange if he acted very politely toward them.

Ning Fengzhi said sincerely, "Crown Prince Feihuang, this matter with Uncle Gu was actually a misunderstanding. He was too doting on Rongrong, and because you humiliated Rongrong at Yuexuan, Uncle Gu acted impulsively. In fact, he had no intention of killing you. Furthermore, he has already paid the price for his impulsiveness. I ask the Crown Prince to calm your anger. Actually, I came here today because I have an important matter to request."

Nan Feihuang suddenly interrupted him, "Have you brought the heads of Tang San or Tang Hao?"

Ning Fengzhi was stunned, "What?"

"I said, have you brought the heads of Tang San or Tang Hao? Sect Master Ning, I know your intention in coming here; isn't it to hope that my mother will undo the Ice and Fire Power on Sword Douluo? But don't forget why he was struck in the first place. It was because you, in order to shield Tang Hao who attempted to assassinate me, inexplicably became enemies with my Gu Lei Kingdom. I don't care if your Upper Three Sects are of one mind; I only know that a friend of an enemy is still an enemy," Nan Feihuang said.

"If you want me to undo the Ice and Fire Power on Sword Douluo, the first thing you must do is naturally apologize to me for what happened back then, or compensate for the crimes you committed against my Gu Lei Kingdom. For example, Bone Douluo—he killed me, so he died, and we won't hold a grudge about that anymore. Ning Fengzhi, when you bring the head of Tang Hao or Tang San, I will take action to save Sword Douluo. I will never go back on my word."

The condition Nan Feihuang proposed was for them to kill Tang Hao and Tang San. Although Tang Hao was already dead, this news had not reached the continent, and everyone thought Tang Hao was still alive and well.

Nan Feihuang did not want to take the blame or let people know he was the one who killed Tang Hao, lest Tang Xiao come looking for trouble; although he was not afraid, it was better to avoid unnecessary complications.

Moreover, Tang San was still alive; if the people of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect took action to kill Tang San, the situation would become quite interesting.

At that time, he really wouldn't mind taking action to save Sword Douluo, because he quite wanted to see Sword Douluo fight the Xiaotian Sect.

"What, kill Tang Hao and Tang San!" Ning Fengzhi was shocked, "Crown Prince Feihuang, you are being a bit unreasonable. Tang Hao is not easy to deal with, and we don't even know where the father and son are."
