Chapter 29 Penance
Chapter 29 Penance
After hearing Su Li's hint, Ning Fengzhi held his chin and began to think about the possibility of the matter, with his brows furrowed into a shape of a "川" (river).
After a long time, Ning Fengzhi exhaled heavily, his frown slowly relaxed, and he looked at Su Li seriously.
"Yes, I understand. I will pay more attention to it."
After saying that, Ning Fengzhi slowly stood up, said something to Chen Xin and Gu Rong, and left the bamboo forest.
After Gu Rong and Chen Xin played with Ning Rongrong for a while, they told Su Li not to spread the matter everywhere and to just treat it the same as before.
Although it cannot be confirmed now, the Spirit Hall is involved behind the scenes after all. Even if the two are confident that they can protect Su Li from harm within the sect, it will be troublesome if they are ambushed by the Spirit Hall when they are out hunting spirit rings.
Due to the special reasons of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, the core combat force is only Chen Xin and Gu Rong, so no matter when, one of them must be there to guard the sect.
"I understand, Grandpa Jian."
After getting Su Li's reply, the two went to Ning Fengzhi's residence together.
"Su Li, Grandpa Jian and the others are gone, can you come and swing with me?"
At some point, Ning Rongrong had come to Su Li's side, took Su Li's arm, and spoke in a coquettish tone.
"Okay."
Looking at Ning Rongrong lovingly, Su Li raised his hand and touched Ning Rongrong's head. The latter squinted her eyes happily, looking like she was enjoying it.
"Great!"
. . . . . .
In Ning Fengzhi's residence, Ning Fengzhi was pacing back and forth with his brows tightly furrowed.
"I know." The door made of ancient birch wood was pushed open, and two figures walked in.
"Uncle Jian, Uncle Gu, you are here."
After seeing the two, Ning Fengzhi's frown relaxed a little. He walked to the round table and poured a bowl of tea for them.
"Uncle Jian, Uncle Gu, please sit down."
After hearing this, Chen Xin and Gu Rong did not bother to be polite with Ning Fengzhi. They sat down on the stools beside the round table, blew on the tea gently, and drank it slowly.
Seeing this, Ning Fengzhi sat down next to the two of them and spoke to them with a serious face.
"Uncle Jian, Uncle Gu, you may have to work hard for a while."
"It's probably because of Xue Qinghe's incident."
Chen Xin stroked his beard and said.
"Well, if it is true as Xiao Su said, that Xue Qinghe and Spirit Hall have joined forces, then it means that Spirit Hall is no longer satisfied with the current situation and has begun to take action against the royal family. Once the royal family is taken down by Spirit Hall, then it will be our turn next."
"The Haotian Sect is in seclusion, and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect has the title of the strongest beast spirit after all, and also has Yu Yuanzhen, a level 96 Titled Douluo. It will take a lot of effort for the Spirit Hall to take them down."
"If you want to gain the greatest benefit with the least sacrifice, taking over our Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect first is undoubtedly the best choice, so there will definitely be a tough battle at that time."
Gu Rong on the side nodded from time to time, and after Ning Fengzhi finished speaking, Gu Rong asked.
"Are you so sure that Spirit Hall just wants to swallow us up?"
Hearing this, Ning Fengzhi's brows furrowed again.
"I'm not sure, but we still have to prepare for the worst."
After saying that, Ning Fengzhi turned to look at Chen Xin beside him and said to him.
"Uncle Jian, please take Xiao Su to the waterfall in the back mountain to practice during this time. I guess the Spirit Hall has already known Su Li's talent. Although the Spirit Hall has not shown its fangs yet, we still have to be on guard. After all, Xiao Su is our future trump card!"
"Well, I will formulate a more rigorous training plan for Xiao Su."
Stroking his beard, Chen Xin said seriously.
"Well, then the next step is the sect's..."
. . . . . .
"Xiao Su, follow me to another place to practice."
In the bamboo forest, Su Li, who had just finished a day of compulsory training, returned to the bamboo forest and was about to cook for Ning Rongrong, who was starving, when Chen Xin stopped him and spoke slowly.
"Okay, Grandpa Jian."
Without thinking, Su Li agreed immediately. After all, Chen Xin couldn't let him down.
"Well, after you finish eating and clean up, come with me."
"Oh."
At the dinner table, Chen Xin told Ning Rongrong about this matter. When Ning Rongrong heard that he was going to break up with Su Li, she started to make a fuss on the spot.
After Su Li's repeated consolation, Ning Rongrong finally calmed down.
In the back mountain of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect, there is a hundred-meter-high waterfall hanging in the middle of the mountain with white waves constantly rushing. Under the shining sun, it reflects the crystal light.
"Xiao Su, from now on you must go to the waterfall to practice swordsmanship for an hour every day. At night, use all your means to attack your master. As long as you can injure your master, you can start the next stage of training."
Pointing to the waterfall in the distance, Chen Xin said slowly.
"Got it, Grandpa Jian, I'll go practice swordsmanship now."
"Well, go ahead."
After saying that, Su Li walked towards the bottom of the waterfall, stepping on the stones that had been washed by the waterfall for many years and became extremely smooth, and jumped to the bottom of the waterfall little by little.
Suddenly, a terrifying force hit Su Li's body like a huge hammer, and the severe pain made Su Li grin.
After holding on for just a few seconds and seeing that he was about to be washed away by the waterfall, Su Li hurriedly summoned his martial spirit, the West Wind Greatsword, and stabbed the sword into the stone under his feet. He held the hilt tightly with both hands and gritted his teeth to prevent himself from being washed away by the water.
Bean-sized drops of water fell from a height of a hundred meters, like a stone, continuously hitting Su Li's body.
At this time, Su Li not only had to prevent himself from being washed away by the water, but also had to endure the pain of the water droplets hitting his body.
Not long after, Su Li's body began to tremble, and then his feet slipped, and he was instantly swept down.
Seeing this, Chen Xin jumped into the water and pulled Su Li out of it.
Coming to the shore, Su Li kept coughing. After a short rest, Su Li went to the bottom of the waterfall again and began to practice.
On the other side, in the bamboo forest, Ning Fengzhi walked straight to the depressed Ning Rongrong and asked.
"What's wrong, Rongrong? Did Xiao Su bully you? Tell daddy and he will help you teach him a lesson."
"Dad, that's not the case. Su Li didn't bully me. Su Li went to practice with Grandpa Jian. There's no one to play with me."
"Then Daddy will play with you for a while, okay?"
Rubbing Ning Rongrong's little head, Ning Fengzhi said softly.
Hearing this, Ning Rongrong felt better instantly. She stood up, took Ning Fengzhi's large hand and ran out of the sect.
At night, Ning Fengzhi and Ning Rongrong, who had played with each other for a day, returned to the sect. Looking at Ning Rongrong who was smiling happily, Ning Fengzhi suddenly asked.
"Rongrong, do you want to go to the aristocratic academy? Learn the etiquette of the nobility?"
Ning Rongrong, who was jumping up and down, heard it and said it without thinking.
"Dad, I don't want to go. I just want to stay at home and be with Su Li."
Ning Fengzhi squatted down, looked directly into Ning Rongrong's watery eyes, and coaxed her.
"Rongrong, look, Su Li is very good, right? When you grow up, there will be many girls competing with you for Su Li. What if Su Li is snatched away by someone else?"
Hearing this, Ning Rongrong immediately interrupted Ning Fengzhi and spoke hurriedly.
"No, we can't let anyone take Su Li away!"
Seeing this, Ning Fengzhi added fuel to the fire and said bluffingly.
"Rongrong, boys really like gentle and noble girls. When you go to the aristocratic academy and learn the etiquette there, no one will be able to snatch you away from Su Li in the future."
"Really, really?"
"Of course it's true. How could Dad lie to you?"
"Well, I'll go to an aristocratic school."
"Rongrong is so good."
He rubbed Ning Rongrong's hair again, then Ning Fengzhi took Ning Rongrong's hand with satisfaction and returned to the bamboo forest.
Time is getting tighter and tighter. The author promises that once he has time, he will spend all his time on coding. That’s all for tonight. I have to get up early tomorrow. Good night.
