Chapter 59. Ning Fengzhi's secret visit

There are still people coming and going in front of the gate of Tiandou City.

No matter how the undercurrent surges, as long as the undercurrent remains an undercurrent, apparent stability is the only main theme and will not change.

The carriage of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect attracted a lot of attention.

But because Ning Fengzhi ordered the removal of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect's emblem, this magnificent carriage only looked eye-catching but did not cause any commotion.

The gate of Tiandou City has welcomed countless carriages.

There aren't many that look magnificent.

There are quite a few that look rather shabby.

Compared to the various shapes of carriages, what is important is the people sitting in the carriages.

Some people are mediocre and find it difficult to achieve anything.

Some people can make clouds with a flip of their hands and rain with a flip of their hands.

And in this carriage of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, sitting are two people who can stir up the world and cause huge waves with just a single move.

"Very good..."

Ning Fengzhi frowned and threw the information in his hand on the table.

On the table, a pile of messy information was piled up one level higher.

It seemed to be explaining the anger of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect's leader:
"My apprentice has become very capable!"

"So many years, so many years!"

"You actually hid the truth from me, your teacher. I'm afraid that the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect's branch in Tiandou City has been completely infiltrated by your good disciple!"

"If it weren't for Rongrong's letter, I wouldn't have known that Blue Tyrant Academy's research on soul guides has reached the point where it can kill a Soul Saint. What does he, the prince, want to do by contacting Blue Tyrant Academy without telling me?"

"Conspiracy?"

"Or destroy my Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect?"

"Or do you think that this will give you a chance to take advantage of my weakness?"

"You think too highly of yourself." Others would give Ning Fengzhi face, but Chen Xin would not. Not to mention that Ning Fengzhi had to call him Uncle Jian, even if he didn't, he would still dare to tell the truth: "Xue Qinghe was able to climb to the position of crown prince in just ten years, which shows that Xue Qinghe is not a man without skills. Look at how the second prince died, and how the third prince died. You underestimated your apprentice and suffered a great loss. Are you sober this time?"

"Wake up!"

Ning Fengzhi laughed out of anger.

The main reason is that the soul guide has greatly improved the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. It only needs soul power to start, can be mass-produced, has a wide range of types, and can be freely configured. The soul guide that meets the above four points can be said to be a special weapon tailor-made for the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect!

Xue Qinghe hid the secret from the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, which made him feel heartbroken!

But what made him even more heartbroken than Xue Qinghe's hiding the fact from the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect was that the intelligence sent by the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect's branch in Tiandou City was as meaningless as ever. Not to mention soul guides, it was all trivial matters. As the political center of Tiandou City, it was dark under the lamp. If Xue Qinghe wanted to use this branch that had been infiltrated long ago to set a trap for him, he didn't even have the most basic sense of prevention, because in his perception, the big and small things in Tiandou City were just like the intelligence he had just seen, and that intelligence was all fucking fake!
He knew Xueqinghe.

Even if you didn't understand it before, you understand it now.

"That's why I'm even more scared!" Ning Fengzhi's sigh made Chen Xin frown, but before Chen Xin could ask Ning Fengzhi why he was scared, Ning Fengzhi started talking about the twists and turns between wise men: "Uncle Jian, think about it carefully. My good disciple has been hiding it from me for all these years. You know Rongrong's character. She is smart but not smart and skillful. How can she see through the truth that my good disciple has been hiding for nearly ten years?"

"You mean?" Chen Xin took a breath and said, "Xue Qinghe did it on purpose?"

"This is the only answer I can think of!" Ning Fengzhi sighed, and after working backwards from the result, he suddenly understood many unclear details: "The plot of this good disciple of mine did not start when I received Rongrong's letter, but the moment Rongrong entered Tiandou City. He bet that Rongrong was a smart kid, that Rongrong would suspect that there was something wrong with the Tiandou City branch, that Rongrong would write to me, and that I could not give up Rongrong. Even though I knew it was a plot, I had to come!"

Chen Xin wanted to say something but stopped.

You tacticians have really dirty hearts.

"But what makes me even more undecided is the attitude he showed throughout the whole process..." Ning Fengzhi pinched the bridge of his nose to relieve the dryness in his eyes: "I have a guess, but I'm not sure. Moreover, I always feel that my guess is missing the most important part. This most important part should be the breaking point of the current situation and the origin of all his actions!"

"So what exactly do you think?" Chen Xin was not good at playing tactics. After hearing Ning Fengzhi's explanation, he became even more confused: "Just say it directly. Don't worry about whether it makes sense or not. Maybe there is no reason at all!"

"He wants to force the emperor to abdicate!" Ning Fengzhi used the few clues he had and found the correct answer: "Yes, my guess should be correct. He wants to force the emperor to abdicate. All his actions are preparations for his recent abdication. This should be the truth!"

Chen Xin was silent for a full minute before expressing his incomprehension: "He is not yet thirty, and Emperor Xue Ye is not in good health. In another ten years, or even twenty years, he will only be in his thirties or forties, and no more than fifty years old. He is the crown prince, recognized by the court and the public as the most perfect crown prince. If the fourth prince Xue Beng wants to force the emperor to abdicate, I can understand it, but isn't it a bit too absurd for the crown prince Xue Qinghe to force the emperor to abdicate?"

"Yeah..." Ning Fengzhi couldn't find any evidence to support his guess: "I heard that in the past few years, Emperor Xue Ye has even given him the power to handle government affairs. He is called the crown prince, but in fact he is an emperor with the title of crown prince. The power in his hands is almost the same as that of an emperor. Except for the imperial guards in Tiandou Imperial City, this is the only army he cannot mobilize. Even the garrisons in various places can be mobilized at will with an imperial decree. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that he is the future emperor of Tiandou. He only needs to wait and he can ascend the throne without any obstacles. Why take risks?"

The carriage became quiet again.

No one can find the answer to this question.

After a long while, Chen Xin spoke again: "Feng Zhi, is this the reason why you took off the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect's badge and didn't want to alert the enemy?"

"The grass must be beaten..." Ning Fengzhi is not a person who never struggles. It's bad to be in a situation like this, but it doesn't mean he has no way to break it: "But how to beat the grass, where to beat it, how hard to beat it, and whether it is necessary to beat it; that's the most important thing!"

"Lan Ba ​​Academy?" Chen Xin suddenly thought of the Lan Ba ​​Academy where Ning Rongrong was, and the genius that Ning Rongrong praised to the sky in the letter: "Ye Qingcang?"

"That's right." Ning Fengzhi turned his head and looked at the bustling streets outside the window, and said, "It's Ye Qingcang who created the Star Martial Arts and Soul Guidance Technology. He is the lifeblood of my good disciple!"
