Chapter 72 - Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament (2) (1/2)
She finished introducing the rest of them as well, he was surprised that the young lady from the Nine Hearts Apple Clan was also a part of Shrek and understood when Rongrong told him that she followed her teacher Qin Ming who was a Spirit Emperor back to Shrek.
”It's quite nice to meet all of you and I hope that you all take care of my daughter, if you want then after your graduation you can all join the Seven Treasures Clan, I'll surely welcome you all, that includes even the substitute members”
When the substitutes apart from Xie Lingling heard that they were quite happy, they had gotten an invitation from the Seven Treasures Clan quite before their graduation, even if they lost the tournament they would be able to go back with such a huge gain.
”Oh right, Tang San, I wanted to speak with you privately, can we do that now, if you aren't busy??”
”Sure, Uncle Ning”
”I want to come too!!”
Rongrong shouted while clinging to her father, he tried persuading her a few times but he gave up after a while and let her follow but told her not to disturb them during their discussion.
…
When they were walking towards a private room Ning Fengzhi asked Tang San,
”Are you the sect master of the Tang Sect??”
”Yes”
Tang San instantaneously replied not giving it much thought, he then asked him back,
”Uncle Ning, can I have your permission to date your daughter??”
He said that while looking straight towards him, Ning Fengzhi wasn't shocked by his question, he had already figured out that her daughter and Tang San had done it and he had already guessed their relationship by that.
But Ning Rongrong was shocked by how randomly the question was asked, she had followed them thinking that they would discuss official matters or something like that, even if he had asked such a question she didn't expect that he would have brought it up so abruptly.
”Tang San, though I had expected you to ask such a request, couldn't you have done it more prudently??”
”Uncle Ning, I could have asked you to agree after giving you a lot of gifts or offers like serving your clan for a few years or some conditions like that making you not rejecting my request but I only want to show you my feelings and didn't do anything like that”
”Truly I wished that I had a son like you, but I guess I can settle for a son-in-law”
Ning Rongrong jumped and hugged Ning Fengzhi real tight after hearing him accept their love. She was scared that he would reject him because of him being from Clear Sky but seeing how he responded even she felt like she was making a mountain out of a molehill.
”Thank you, Daddy!!”
”Well since we got this out of the way, Tang San don't you think it isn't appropriate to ask me for blessings after the deed is done??”
”..... I've already given Rongrong something to compensate you”
”Well truly the two Beautiful Silk Tulips you gave us do-”
”Daddy that isn't it!! He gave me something to give you, here this is it”
She gave him a black box that looked sealed from all sides and found three ring-like structures on it with numbers.
”To open the box you'll need to put in the numbers 333 into the locks, but can you open it in your clan and not here?? There are a lot of people who might want that item”
Smiling he kept the box into his spirit tool, he had noticed the Black Eye Mark on the box so he guessed that it was something that Tang Sect had manufactured and decided to view it later.
They then entered a private room where they saw a familiar figure, this person was none other than the fourth prince who had kicked them out from the Heaven Dou Academy. Rongrong wanted to ask her father why he wanted them to meet such a person but she didn't say it out loud, she knew that it wasn't worth it to offend the price of Heaven Dou no matter how arrogant he may be.
”Greetings Crown Prince”
”Greetings Uncle Ning”
When Rongrong heard her father call this person the fourth prince as the crown prince she almost couldn't believe it. But the one who couldn't truly believe it was Tang San, he had expected to meet Xue Qinghe or to be more precise Qian Renxue acting as the crown prince Xue Qinghe or any other Spirit Hall member impersonating as the crown prince but instead he had met Xue Beng.
This meant one thing, the Spirit Hall's infiltration failed and the new Crown Prince Xue Beng was still acting like an arrogant prince to fool the Spirit Hall but they had succeeded in killing all the previous princes of the empire.
This seriously made Tang San's head to ache, how was he able to think that because of Qian Renxue not taking part of this plan they would have failed and the whole set of events caused by this to have an effect on the future.
But after thinking for a while he felt that it was better this way and even the Spirit Hall would be set back of their plan to conquer the Heaven Dou Empire by a lot, this can also help him sow seeds of distrust against Spirit Hall among all the large sects and clans in the Empire.
Ning Fengzhi saw Tang San's change in expression, from shock to confusion to realization and maybe relief?? He could see that Tang San was able to understand the general happenings in such a short time, this shocked him a bit.
”Tang San, I want you to meet the crown prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, though you might have met him under unfortunate circ_u_mstances before, I can assure you that that was all an act and all the information we discuss in this room is to be strictly confidential, that is to say you may not even tell it to your friends at Shrek”
”I understand but I want permission to be able to discuss all that we speak here with my teacher at least, he's someone I trust with everything and if he leaks any information to outsiders I am ready to take responsibility”
”This….. Prince Xue??”
”It's fine Uncle Ning, I trust in his judgment, I can see that he isn't someone careless so its fine if we allow one person who he trusts to know about it as well, but I must strictly insist that it can not be known to anyone besides your teacher”
”I can swear on it”
