29: Ning Fengzhi's attitude

The three visitors were Ning Fengzhi of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Sword Douluo, and Ning Rongrong.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was also one of the Upper Three Sects, but it ranked higher than the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

In terms of strength, wealth, and influence, it stood above them in every way.

Ning Fengzhi might even become the Imperial Preceptor!

One could see the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's power was at its peak.

Despite Yu Luomian's arrogance, he had to take the initiative to put on a smile and greet Ning Fengzhi when facing him.

At the same time, he could only swallow the blood in his mouth.

He couldn't help but glance at Yu Mengzhang out of the corner of his eye; just now, he had almost been unable to restrain himself from threatening him directly.

Yu Mengzhang watched them approach with a calm expression.

Let alone the Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, even if the Supreme Pontiff of Spirit Hall came, they wouldn't be able to make him feel nervous.

"Second in Command, we haven't met for months, yet you remain as elegant as ever..."

Ning Fengzhi stepped forward and exchanged pleasantries with Yu Luomian.

Yu Luomian was actually somewhat flattered.

"School Master Ning, you joke..."

While the two were talking, both Sword Douluo and Ning Rongrong fixed their gazes on Yu Mengzhang.

Sword Douluo's brow furrowed slightly.

This was the first time he had seen a child who could remain unfazed when facing him.

Didn't he see Yu Tianxin nearby? He had only taken one look at him before quickly averting his gaze.

It was as if he had been burned.

Yu Mengzhang... was quite strange.

Ning Rongrong was looking at Yu Mengzhang purely out of amazement at his appearance.

"So this is the Divine Dragon Hall, where the Azure Dragon Divine Lord is enshrined?"

Ning Fengzhi looked at the statue again and was slightly surprised.

Sword Douluo also looked up, his pupils contracting.

The Materials of the statue were very ordinary, just wood; perhaps century-old wood was somewhat precious.

But it could definitely not be considered high-grade.

Yet this statue possessed a divine charm that even bronze or gold statues lacked.

"Yes!" Cuier replied with a giggle.

Ning Fengzhi smiled slightly, then looked down at Cuier and Yu Mengzhang standing next to her.

He was an expert at reading people, and from the first glance at Yu Mengzhang, he knew he couldn't be treated like an ordinary child.

"Are you the High Priest Yu Mengzhang?"

Ning Fengzhi asked politely.

Yu Mengzhang nodded gently.

"Yu... Does he come from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan?" Ning Fengzhi asked doubtfully.

Yu Luomian smiled, "That's right, he is a child of our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan; both his parents were heroes."

Yu Luomian attempted to bind the Divine Hall and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan together.

Although he was very dissatisfied with Yu Mengzhang's stubborn attitude just now, he could only feign intimacy now.

He couldn't let Ning Fengzhi see their estrangement from Yu Mengzhang.

"To be favored by the Divine Dragon, he truly has extraordinary qualities..." Ning Fengzhi said warmly. Without dwelling on it, he first entered the Divine Hall to pay his respects.

Yu Luomian stood next to Yu Mengzhang, watching the other man with him.

He sent another sound transmission: "Don't forget what I said, do not defy the divine edict!"

Yu Mengzhang looked up at Yu Luomian.

His powerful Divine Soul allowed him to clearly perceive the malice held by Yu Luomian.

He had long known that his lack of cooperation would lead to Yu Luomian holding a grudge.

But so what?

With the preparations he had made, it was impossible for the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan to harm him.

Furthermore, this was not a chaotic era.

Yu Luomian gave Yu Mengzhang a cold look, a flash of annoyance appearing in his eyes.

If he could, he really wanted to give Yu Mengzhang a harsh lesson.

To teach him how to respect the clan elders, his Second in Command!

At this moment, Ning Fengzhi's group of three finished their worship and came before Yu Mengzhang again.

Ning Fengzhi performed a salute, which startled Yu Luomian. Why was he bowing to Yu Mengzhang?

"High Priest, on behalf of those disaster victims, I wish to thank the Azure Dragon Divine Lord. If it weren't for those two Sweet Rains, I'm afraid countless people would have been displaced."

Ning Fengzhi sighed, his tone sincere.

"There is no need to thank me," Yu Mengzhang said indifferently.

Yu Luomian frowned and said, "How can you speak to School Master Ning like that? And you just accepted School Master Ning's salute with a clear conscience? Shouldn't you..."

Ning Fengzhi hurriedly raised his hand to stop Yu Luomian, saying solemnly:

"Please do not say that, Second in Command. I am thanking the Azure Dragon Divine Lord. The High Priest is accepting my gratitude on behalf of the Azure Dragon Divine Lord."

Ning Fengzhi added a few more words of praise.

It was like a gentle breeze and fine rain; clearly it was 'flattery,' yet it didn't seem fawning or obsequious, but rather made one feel it was genuine.

Yu Luomian listened from the side, his mouth twitching slightly.

No, how did you manage to praise a six-year-old child so masterfully?

"...The Second in Command surely thinks so as well, right?"

Ning Fengzhi suddenly said.

Yu Luomian's mouth twitched slightly, a hundred times unwilling in his heart, as he nodded, "Of course..."

"I would like to distribute grain for disaster relief in the name of the High Priest. I wonder if that is acceptable?"

Ning Fengzhi asked again.

"As you wish," Yu Mengzhang nodded in response.

"..." Yu Luomian was stunned, then quite annoyed. Why hadn't he thought of that?

Ning Fengzhi really knew how to win people's hearts!

Was it really necessary to go to such lengths for a six-year-old child?

"Second in Command, does your noble sect have plans to provide funding for the Divine Dragon Hall? I see that although the Divine Hall has a divine charm, its area is somewhat unsatisfactory."

Ning Fengzhi smiled again.

Yu Luomian pulled at the corner of his mouth slightly, "The Divine Dragon Hall doesn't need it. He... the High Priest said such is the divine edict."

Yu Luomian turned his head, feeling incredibly awkward in his heart.

A six-year-old child, yet he actually had to call him High Priest?

It was simply turning the world upside down!

But since even Ning Fengzhi addressed him this way now, it wasn't easy for him to flare up.

Otherwise, if Yu Mengzhang were coaxed away by Ning Fengzhi, it would be a loss for the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and he didn't want to be questioned by Yu Yuanzhen.

"A divine edict? Then it should naturally be followed. I was being presumptuous."

Ning Fengzhi said with a smile.

"..." Yu Luomian's face couldn't help but darken.

The warmer Ning Fengzhi's attitude toward Yu Mengzhang was, the more it contrasted with how crude and rude he had just been.

Relying on his utilitarian attitude, he wouldn't be able to gain Yu Mengzhang's favor.

If he let Ning Fengzhi continue, he might really win over Yu Mengzhang.

"Ahem, there is another hidden danger for the Divine Dragon Hall... The laws of the Heaven Dou Empire do not allow for the establishment of temples of faith. If discovered, I'm afraid..."

"I was thinking, perhaps we should let the High Priest return to the clan first. Coincidentally, it's also time to report this good news to his parents."

Yu Luomian emphasized his voice, reminding Yu Mengzhang where his 'home' was.

Yu Mengzhang raised his eyes and looked at Yu Luomian.

Yu Luomian's heart suddenly skipped a beat, feeling as if something terrible was about to happen.

"You... Hiss!!!"

Just as he started to speak, Yu Luomian's teeth bit his tongue, the pain causing his face to contort.

Ning Fengzhi and the others looked at Yu Luomian in confusion.

No, you bit your tongue while talking? What's wrong with you?

Isn't that a bit too unlucky?

At this moment, another voice sounded from outside.

"Teacher, I didn't expect you to be here..."

The voice was very familiar; Yu Mengzhang recognized it as Xue Qinghe.

Turning to look, there were several people beside Xue Qinghe.

Upon seeing them, Yu Luomian showed an expression as if he had seen a ghost.

Brothers, the second chapter will be posted tomorrow morning.
