Chapter 113: How Daring!
Chapter 113: How Daring!
As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is often the safest.
To escape Bibi Dong, that crazy woman, Yu Xiaogang sought refuge with the people of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and accompanied them to their sect.
Nowhere in Tiandou City felt safe, as the madwoman could find him, but she wouldn't dare enter the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
These past few days, the members of the sect had treated Yu Xiaogang to delicious food and drinks. After all, Yu Xiaogang had just faced an assassination attempt shortly after leaving their care, which seriously damaged the sect's reputation.
If he had died out there, the sect's credibility would have been destroyed.
Fortunately, nothing had happened in the past few days, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect kept their promise, bringing Tang San with them.
"Master, are you planning to leave? We still haven't found that assassin, and if you go out like this, you're likely to attract their attention again."
Ning Fengzhi expressed his desire for Yu Xiaogang to stay, but in truth, he couldn't wait for him to leave.
The sect hadn't been able to find the assassin who targeted Yu Xiaogang, and Ning Fengzhi even suspected that there never was an assassin to begin with.
He felt that the whole thing was a charade orchestrated by Yu Xiaogang and Tang Hao.
After all, Yu Xiaogang hadn't offended anyone in recent years, so how could he be targeted for assassination all of a sudden, especially when neither the sect nor Tiandou City could catch the supposed assassin?
Did Yu Xiaogang deserve to be targeted by an assassin of that caliber?
"I do want to stay here for a couple more days, but I can't keep Flender and the others waiting.
There are several Title Douluos there, so even if an assassin wants to target me, it won't be that simple."
Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi nodded and no longer insisted.
"Since you're in a hurry to meet up with Flender and the others, I'll have two disciples from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect escort you there."
Ning Fengzhi stood up to arrange for a horse carriage and disciples.
"Daddy, Daddy! I want to go to Shrek too!!"
Just as Ning Fengzhi lifted his foot to leave, a voice that filled him with helplessness rang out.
Ning Rongrong rushed into the room and cried out.
Seeing this figure, Tang San clenched his fists. It was because of her that he had suffered inhumane torture.
Because of her, his Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, Xuan Yu Hand, Purple Extreme Demon Eye, and some hidden weapons had been learned by the members of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Even his biggest secret, his twin martial souls, had been exposed to them.
It was a disgrace, a complete disgrace!
As Tang San's killing intent surged, a dangerous aura pressed down on him, leaving him gasping for breath. He had no time to react before he felt a burning sensation on his face, and he spun and flew out.
"Bone Douluo, what do you mean by this?!"
Yu Xiaogang watched as Tang San was sent flying, anger filling him as he glared at the suddenly-appeared Bone Douluo.
Bone Douluo ignored Yu Xiaogang's words and sneered at Tang San.
"You little runt, daring to have murderous intentions towards Rongrong even in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Do you really think you have some kind of protection here?"
Bone Douluo lifted his foot and crushed Tang San's right hand.
A painful scream echoed.
Yu Xiaogang was furious and embarrassed, but Ning Fengzhi, standing by, watched coldly. Ning Rongrong, on the other hand, looked eager, as if she wanted Bone Douluo to crush Tang San's other arm as well.
"Bone Douluo, as a Title Douluo, how could you attack a junior? Aren't you afraid of becoming a laughingstock if word gets out?"
Bone Douluo chuckled at Yu Xiaogang's rebuke.
"Get out? Who do you think would dare spread the word about what happened here today? Tang San? Or perhaps you, Master?"
Ning Fengzhi quickly intervened with a smile.
"Bone-uncle, what you did was a bit too much. Although he wanted to kill Rongrong, he didn't actually do anything yet. We could have just caught him in the act and dealt with him then.
Yu Xiaogang could hear the implied threat in their words and quickly rushed forward to help Tang San up.
But suddenly, an unexpected event occurred. It seemed like he was tripped by something, and then...
"Ah!!! Tang San screamed in agony.
Yu Xiaogang steadied himself and glared at the members of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
The floor of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was extremely smooth, so it was impossible for someone to be tripped so easily. It was obvious that they had done something.
Ning Fengzhi and Bone Douluo were speechless. It was clear that Yu Xiaogang had simply been careless, yet he was trying to blame them.
However, Yu Xiaogang's trip did seem genuine, but they didn't care about such a minor incident.
"Little San, let's go. We're returning to Shrek."
Yu Xiaogang reached out to pull Tang San up and intended to leave with him.
"Daddy, I want to go to Shrek too!"
Ning Rongrong saw that Yu Xiaogang was about to take Tang San away, so she immediately broke free from her restraints and hugged Ning Fengzhi's arm, pleading with him.
Ning Fengzhi felt a headache coming on and could only look to Bone Douluo for help.
"Rongrong, what's so good about that Shrek place? Why are you so insistent on going there?" Bone Douluo crouched down, ruffling Rongrong's hair as he spoke indulgently.
"Bone Grandpa, I just want to go. Besides, the Shrek Academy is currently in Tiandou City. It's the territory of the royal family and our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. I won't be in any danger there. Bone Grandpa loves me the most, so please let me go." Ning Rongrong used her cutest tone, knowing that Bone Douluo would rarely refuse her.
Bone Douluo was indeed the most susceptible to her charms.
"Fengzhi, if necessary, I'll accompany Rongrong to that Shrek place myself. I don't believe anyone from Shrek would dare to lay a finger on her!"
"Old Bone, I heard your scheming from outside!"
Before Ning Fengzhi could respond, a flash of sword light appeared, and Sword Douluo directly materialized in the courtyard.
Bone Douluo immediately pulled Ning Rongrong into his embrace.
"Old man, quite an entrance you made there. Aren't you afraid your sword aura will hurt Rongrong?" Sword Douluo coldly harrumphed, then turned to Ning Fengzhi.
"Last time, you guys went out to bring Rongrong back. This time, it should be my turn to go out. Rongrong, come to Sword Grandpa. I don't need to discuss it with them; I'll take you to Shrek directly."
Ning Rongrong cheered and tried to break free from Bone Douluo's embrace. Seeing this, Bone Douluo had no choice but to hold her tighter and curse aloud.
"Sword Old Man, you're blatantly stealing my disciple right in front of me! Do you still want to keep your face?"
Sword Douluo coldly snorted when he saw that Bone Douluo wouldn't let go of Ning Rongrong.
"Me, shameless? Who's the shameless one here? Don't forget where Rongrong has been these past few days and where she was wronged!"
Bone Douluo's face turned red upon hearing this.
"Hey, I took that disciple to find a suitable excuse for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to research his soul skills! You're the one pretending to be clueless here. Moreover, that kid hasn't done anything under my name!"
Undoubtedly, they were talking about Wang Shi.
Sword Douluo glanced at Bone Douluo and scoffed before looking at Ning Fengzhi, waiting for him to make a decision.
Ning Fengzhi felt like he had two large heads. The two elders were fine, but they tended to bicker.
And as the sect master, he couldn't afford to offend either of them.
However, Sword Douluo was indeed more reasonable in this situation, so Ning Fengzhi could only smile apologetically at Bone Douluo.
