Shrek and his party, led by Liu Erlong, together with Old Jack and Qin Ming, left the Tiandou Great Soul Fighting Arena.
But as soon as they came out, they saw Ning Rongrong's father from a distance. Ning Fengzhi was standing not far outside the spirit fighting arena, waiting for Ning Rongrong.
"Rongrong, this way." Ning Fengzhi, who had changed into ordinary clothes, called.
Although he was just wearing an ordinary silver-white gown, it was still difficult to conceal his noble and elegant temperament, not to mention that Ning Fengzhi himself was a handsome man.
"Dad." Ning Rongrong cheered and threw herself into her old father's arms.
Everyone did not expect to meet the leader of the Qibao Glazed Sect here, but since they have met, it makes no sense not to go and say hello.
Seeing everyone from Shrek coming over, Ning Fengzhi reluctantly let go of Ning Rongrong in his arms, and took the lead in greeting everyone with a smile, "Vice Dean Liu, Teacher Qin, Elder Suzaku."
As he spoke, he smiled and nodded to Old Jack, and finally waved to everyone in Shrek with a smile, "Hello, Shrek kids."
"Sect Master, Sect Master Ning." Ma Hongjun and everyone returned the greeting to Ning Feng.
"Sect Master Ning." Liu Erlong and Qin Ming also smiled and said hello to Ning Fengzhi. Then Liu Erlong turned to everyone and said, "Hongjun, Xiaosan, Xiaoming, your grandfather, I, and I are going back first. You’ll be back by yourselves in a moment.”
Qin Ming looked at Ma Hongjun with a strange look. He heard what he said correctly just now. Ning Fengzhi seemed to be calling Ma Hongjun "Elder Suzaku", but he didn't ask more. He believed that Liu Erlong would explain it to him later.
"Okay, Master Wife, Teacher Erlong." Everyone responded. They looked at Ma Hongjun with strange eyes, except for the Shrek Eight Devils who knew part of the inside story.
Could it be that he is from the Qibao Glazed Sect? But even if he is from the Qibao Glazed Sect, he became an elder when he was less than fifteen years old. Isn't this too abnormal?
Tailong, Liu Qingxuan, Mo Ziyuan, Tang Chen, as well as Jing Ling, Huang Yuan, and Jiang Zhu thought with some horror.
As soon as Liu Erlong saw Ning Fengzhi's posture, he knew that he was specifically waiting for Shrek's group, but she didn't say anything. On the contrary, she was a little happy to see it happen.
The eight Shrek monsters are all talented and intelligent, and there are many monsters among them, such as Ma Hongjun, Tang San, Shui Bing'er, Xiao Wu and Oscar. These few are either extremely talented or monsters.
Even Ning Rongrong, Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing, who are less talented, have fairy herbs to help them improve their physiques and lay a foundation. Their futures are destined to be brilliant and she does not need to worry about them. Although Dai Mubai's fairy herbs are still did not eat.
But Liu Qingxuan, Jing Ling, Huang Yuan, and Jiangzhu are different. Not only were they different from the Shrek Eight Monsters in terms of talent, but they were either from common people or from run-down nobles.
As their teacher, Liu Erlong naturally hopes that her students will have a good future in the future, so she hopes that Ning Fengzhi can recruit them all, so that she does not have to worry about their future misfortune.
Liu Erlong left, taking Qin Ming and Old Jack away with a satisfied smile.
Ning Fengzhi sent the three of them away with a smile, turned around and said to everyone, "I am just Rongrong's father now, not a sect leader. You can just treat me as an ordinary elder."
Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing, Tailong, Tang Chen, Liu Qingxuan, Jing Ling, Huang Yuan and Jiangzhu did not expect that the leader of Qibao Glazed Sect, the top auxiliary sect in the world, could be so approachable.
Ning Fengzhi's eyes fell on Ma Hongjun and Tang San, and said with a smile, "I have seen your battles. You performed very well. You quickly resolved the battle and established your authority without exposing your strength too much. This is very good."
"Uncle Ning, you are exaggerating. Rongrong is also very good. Just to preserve her strength, she did not play today." Ma Hongjun and Tang San smiled slightly, their smiles were a bit shy, and their ferocious looks on the ring could not be seen at all. .
Ning Fengzhi smiled and nodded, "I'm very optimistic about you. Maybe you will meet your real opponents only in the finals. But although you have strength, you still need to guard against arrogance and impetuosity. I understand that you hurt your opponent today." reasons, but it’s better to keep this kind of situation as rare as possible in the future. After all, Shrek Academy is also one of the advanced soul master academies, and it’s not good to make too many enemies. You don’t need to worry about Tiandou Royal Academy, I have already fought with His Majesty Hello. And His Highness the Prince has already admitted his mistake in front of His Majesty, and he should not have treated you like that. His Majesty said that if it were not for the fact that you could not change after registration, he very much wanted you to return to Tiandou Royal Academy."
"Thank you, Uncle Ning. Thank you for your kindness. What are you doing here today?" Ma Hongjun said with a smile, and Tang San, Shui Bing'er and others nodded.
Tai Long and others saw that Ning Fengzhi had no intention of explaining why he called Ma Hongjun "Elder Suzaku", so they were too sensible to ask.
Ning Fengzhi looked at Ma Hongjun, Tang San, and Shui Bing'er, and said with a smile, "I do have something to see you three. Rongrong, you go back to the academy with your friends first. My father is a member of the competition organizing committee and I can't stay with you too much." Together, otherwise some people will say that I am seeking favoritism."
Ning Rongrong pouted, "Then let them decide. We speak based on our strength."
Ning Fengzhi smiled helplessly and touched Ning Rongrong's little head, "You are so big yet so naughty. By the way, why don't you introduce your friends to dad before you leave?"
Looking at the hopeful look in Ning Fengzhi's eyes, except for Oscar, who was nervous, Jing Ling and Huang Yuan Jiangzhu couldn't help but feel a little hot in their hearts, the others were quite calm.
Although Oscar had already met Ning Fengzhi when he was in Qibao Glazed Sect, he also knew that he would not object to his pursuit of Ning Rongrong. But he was scared when he was trained by the two Jian Gu Douluo. Now when he saw Ning Fengzhi, he still felt a little nervous.
Tai Long had already followed Tang San, but he acted very indifferently, and not to mention this, he was still the poor little prince of the force clan and the future successor.
Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing were from Xingluo, a prince and a princess, and they acted very indifferently.
Mo Ziyuan and Liu Qingxuan also acted very calmly. They had chosen to follow Ma Hongjun, and now that they heard that he was the Suzaku elder of the Qibao Glazed Sect, they naturally had no need to worry.
The same goes for Tang San and Ma Hongjun. They are the masters of a sect themselves. Although they are still mere commanders, they only have the Li clan, his two disciples, and two followers as their subordinates.
Not to mention Shui Bing'er and Xiao Wu, they followed Ma Hongjun and Tang San wherever they went, quite a bit like a husband and a wife.
Ning Rongrong smiled and introduced everyone to her father, "Brother Jun, Yuanhuang, Third Brother, and Sister Bingbing, I don't need to tell them. You know them all, Dad."
"..."
"What, you three are actually physical martial souls too?"
"hiss!"
Ning Fengzhi took a breath and looked at Mo Ziyuan, Liu Qingxuan and Tang Chen in shock, with blazing fire in his eyes.
If he had known that Mo Ziyuan and the others were physical martial souls before, he would have only thought that these three people were just like the masters, just useless martial soul masters who could never break through the twenty-ninth level.
But only after he formed an alliance with Shrek Academy, came into contact with the master's theory of martial soul evolution, and witnessed Ma Hongjun's transformation from a human into an egg, did he understand how unique the physical martial soul was.
Even his uncle Sword, the ninety-sixth level Sword Fighter Luo Chenxin, still can't make the martial soul exist in the outside world in a physical form.
Ning Fengzhi couldn't help but feel a little hot in her heart and wanted to recruit three people, but after knowing that Tang Chen was Tang San's cousin and from the Haotian Sect, she knew that there was no chance for her.
Then he looked at Mo Ziyuan and Liu Qingxuan, and it turned out that one of them was the master's nephew and Liu Erlong's nephew, and both of them had chosen to follow Ma Hongjun, so Ning Fengzhi had no choice but to give up.
"..."
Ning Rongrong pointed at everyone and introduced them. What made Ma Hongjun feel a little surprised was that Jiangzhu's pretty face turned crimson in front of Ning Fengzhi.
"What's going on? Could it be that Senior Jiangzhu has fallen in love with Uncle Ning? Isn't it possible? Is this the way to be his ninth concubine, Rongrong's little mother?" Ma Hongjun thought to himself, and he seemed to have discovered something. No secrets allowed.
With Jiangzhu, Jingling, and Huang Yuan's admiration for Ning Fengzhi and his recent recruitment, these three people will definitely join the Qibao Glazed Sect in the future.
And with her yearning look on her face, she might actually become Ning Fengzhi's ninth wife and Ning Rongrong's baby mother in the future.
But maybe, some girls like mature men with taste. And Ning Fengzhi is a mature and handsome man with a graceful manner, and he is still very lethal to such girls.
Seeing that more and more spectators were leaving the Arena, Ning Fengzhi said, "I'm really happy to meet you young talents today. Okay, you guys should go back to the academy as soon as possible. Hongjun, you three Come with me."
"Dad is so partial. He cares more about Brother Jun and Third Brother than me." Ning Rongrong stuck out her tongue and said with some dissatisfaction.
"Haha!" Ning Fengzhi said with a smile, "I'm looking for your brother Jun and the others to have serious business. You should be more secure in the academy and leave quickly."
"..."
Ning Rongrong, Dai Mubai and the others had left, leaving only Ma Hongjun, Tang San and Shui Bing'er. Ning Fengzhi took them into Tianhuang Street, the most prosperous area of Tiandou City.
While walking, Ma Hongjun asked, "Uncle Ning, do you have anything to do with us?"
Ning Fengzhi smiled and said, "His Majesty wants to see you. And Mistress, I will take you to meet a person. This person may know some reasons why your father retired."
When Ma Hongjun and Shui Bing'er went to Tianshui City, Ning Fengzhi took Ning Rongrong, who returned to the academy after obtaining the soul ring, to discuss the hidden weapon business with Tang San, but accidentally learned about his father's affairs, so he secretly Keep it in mind.
Taking the three of them to a treasure shop, Ning Fengzhi said wait a moment, and within a quarter of an hour after entering, he led a handsome, mature and steady young man who looked about twenty-seven or eighty-years-old out.
"Hongjun, this is Rongrong's second brother, ask him to take you and Bingbing there. Caicheng, this is our sect's guest minister, Elder Zhuque. This is Shui Bing'er, the eldest princess of our Tiandou Empire, who is also his Fiancée. This is Haotian Douluo's only son, Tang San." Ning Fengzhi introduced with a smile.
"Caicheng has met Elder Zhuque, the eldest princess, and Brother Tang San." The handsome young man gave a slight smile that made people feel like a spring breeze, and gave a slight salute to Ma Hongjun and the others.
"The eldest princess?"
"Ning Caichen?"
Shui Bing'er and Ma Hongjun were slightly startled, and hurriedly returned the gift to Ning Caicheng along with Tang San.
Ning Caicheng smiled and said, "It's not a minister, it's Cheng who is sincere and united."
Ma Hongjun touched the tip of his nose and said with a smile, "Hello, Brother Ning, just call me Hongjun."
He was relieved, luckily it wasn't Ning Caichen, otherwise he would have really wanted to ask Ning Rongrong's second brother if he knew Nie Xiaoqian.
Shui Bing'er and Tang San also said, "Hello, Brother Ning, just call me Bingbing and Xiaosan."
Seeing that the four of them had gotten to know each other, Ning Fengzhi smiled and said, "Bingbing, is your mother's Emperor Ji Ling always with you?"
Shui Bing'er glanced at Ning Fengzhi in surprise and nodded lightly.
Ning Fengzhi smiled and said, "That's right, that token represents the identity of the Tiandou Emperor. And you are the eldest princess of our generation in the Tiandou Empire. It's just that in order to protect you, His Majesty never Announce it to the public.”
Shui Bing'er's eyes widened in surprise. She has a collateral bloodline. Even if her mother is the previous generation of emperors, she won't be allowed to inherit the identity of the eldest princess, right?
Ma Hongjun and Tang San looked at Ning Fengzhi with equal surprise, the eldest princess of an empire, what a great honor this was?
Ning Fengzhi smiled slightly and said, "Don't be surprised. The martial spirits of your Xue family have always been swans. Even if there are mutations, the better ones are ice swans or snow swans like Brother Shui. Now it's not easy for an ice phoenix martial spirit to appear." , you are fully worthy of the identity of Tiandou Emperor Ji. However, His Majesty has no plans to reveal your identity yet, so Caicheng, Hongjun, and Xiaosan, just keep these words in mind."
Ma Hongjun and others nodded in agreement. Ning Caicheng smiled and nodded, "Brother Hongjun, let's go. I will take you to see His Majesty."
"Oh, okay. Then I'll trouble Brother Ning." Shui Bing'er and Ma Hongjun responded.
"Xiao San, come with me and I will take you to see that person." Ning Fengzhi said.
"Okay, Uncle Ning." Tang San responded.
…
After walking for more than half an hour, Ning Caicheng brought Ma Hongjun and Shui Bing'er to an antique teahouse.
The size of the teahouse doesn't look very big. When Ma Hongjun and the others came, there were only the counter and the waiter busy with their own business, making it look very quiet and elegant.
But they didn't know that on the other side, Ning Fengzhi also took Tang San into a teahouse of the same size and style. I have to say, this is quite a coincidence.
"Brother Caicheng, aren't we going to the palace?" Ma Hongjun asked strangely as he looked at the three-story teahouse in front of him. The three of them became familiar with each other through conversation.
It has to be said that Ning Caicheng has inherited Ning Fengzhi's advantages in all aspects except for his ordinary talent in soul power cultivation. He is personable, gentle and handsome, making it easy for people to fall in love with him.
Through conversation, Ma Hongjun and Shui Bing'er learned that Ning Fengzhi had seven children in total. Ning Rongrong was the youngest, and Ning Caicheng had an eldest sister, Ning Jingjing, followed by Ning Tuantuan, Ning Caijie, and Ning Yaozu. Together with Ning Rongzong, they are the perfect combination of sincere unity and honoring the ancestors.
Ning Caicheng smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty is going on patrol incognito. Come on, I will take you up."
Ma Hongjun and Shui Bing'er nodded, and they followed Ning Caicheng to the innermost seat on the third floor. They pushed open the folding screen and Ning Caicheng led them inside.
There was only an old man in the room, wearing a decent blue-grey robe. Hearing the sound of the three people arriving, he had already turned around from his seat and stood up.
Although Emperor Xue Ye changed into ordinary-looking clothes, Ma Hongjun and Shui Bing'er still recognized him at a glance.
"Caicheng, you are here." Emperor Xueye said calmly.
"Greetings to Your Majesty, I have brought you the eldest princess and the consort." Ning Caicheng said and bowed.
"Ma Consort?" Ma Hongjun and Shui Bing'er were slightly startled again. Why do they keep hearing this strange title today?
Ma Hongjun was suspicious. It seemed that Ning Fengzhi must have said something to Ning Caicheng. But looking at it like this, Emperor Xueye didn't seem to object to him being with Shui Bing'er. Ning Caicheng even called him his consort. Isn't that right? Is this just a clear acknowledgment of their relationship?
Shui Bing'er also thought of this and couldn't help but feel relieved. It was impossible for her not to be nervous when she saw this emperor uncle.
What surprised her was that Ma Hongjun didn't look nervous at all. It seemed that in his eyes, the aloof emperor was no different from an ordinary person.
However, why was there still a trace of curiosity in his eyes when he looked at Emperor Xue Ye?
Suppressing the weird thoughts in her heart, Shui Bing'er gently pulled Ma Hongjun, bowed and said, "Bing'er has met Uncle Huang."
"Ma Hongjun, a commoner, pays homage to His Majesty." Ma Hongjun came back from his daze. This was the first time in his life that he had seen such a rare creature like the emperor at such a close distance.
"Everyone, get up. I'm on patrol incognito today, so I don't need to be so polite. Caicheng, please go down first." Emperor Xueye said calmly.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Ning Caicheng bowed and left.
A conscious and gentle smile appeared on Emperor Xue Ye's old face. He waved to Shui Bing'er and Ma Hongjun and said, "Bing'er, Ma Hongjun, come and sit down."
"Thank you, Uncle Emperor. Thank you, Your Majesty." Shui Bing'er and Ma Hongjun responded, walked over and sat down opposite Emperor Xue Ye.
