“You only need to make a move once for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect when it is at its most difficult!”
Standing to the side, Ning Rongrong blinked her large eyes with curiosity as she sized up Du Busi and the other two.
The conditions offered by Ning Fengzhi could be called unprecedentedly generous, giving Du Busi the highest standard of respect and treatment.
Hearing this, Xiao Wu’s eyes lit up.
This deal sounded like a guaranteed profit with no risk!
Lu Xiao helplessly pinched her cheek and whispered a reminder: “How could it possibly be like what he said!”
“Once that old man loses his mind and agrees to this request, Spirit Hall and the Star Luo Empire certainly won’t think the old man can stay out of it!”
As he spoke, Lu Xiao stared speechlessly at Xiao Wu.
Not to mention, this girl was truly bold; didn’t she see that Bone Douluo was intentionally or unintentionally staring at her?
And yet she was eagerly throwing herself right into their mouths…
Hearing Lu Xiao calling him an “old man” every other word, Du Busi’s Face turned completely ashen as his large hand directly pressed down on Lu Xiao’s shoulder!
“Snap!”
Lu Xiao’s muscles and bones were already sore all over, and this heavy blow instantly made his entire body stiffen.
Lu Xiao instantly winced in pain, his facial features scrunched up together as he gasped a breath of cold air, his eye sockets turning slightly red.
“It hurts, it hurts, hurts, hurts!
Master, go easy!”
Lu Xiao’s voice carried a distinct tremor of pain as he made a bitter Face and repeatedly begged for mercy.
Startled by this sudden scene, Xiao Wu quickly reached out to steady the swaying Lu Xiao.
Her pretty eyes instantly widened as she looked at Du Busi with a mix of heartache and grievance, softly defending Lu Xiao: “Senior, Lu Xiao didn’t mean it, please don’t be Life Qi…”
Du Busi withdrew his hand, still wearing an unkind expression as he let out a cold hum: “So lacking in manners!
A teacher for a day is a father for life, calling me an old man with every breath, where is this old man supposed to put his old Face?”
He had extremely good judgment with his strikes; although it looked heavy in force, it actually didn’t cause Lu Xiao any substantive harm at all.
Not far away, Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong quietly watched this scene with varying expressions.
This Senior, how should he be put?
Seemed a bit unrestrained?
“The good intentions of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, this old man accepts in spirit.”
Too lazy to pay attention to Lu Xiao anymore, Du Busi turned his head to look back at Ning Fengzhi in front of him, saying indifferently: “This old man comes from the Body Sect, and I am the current Body Sect Sect Master!”
Du Busi’s tone was very calm; after all, one doesn’t hit a smiling person!
Moreover, Ning Fengzhi said he crushed Tang Hao, which undoubtedly satisfied Du Busi’s vanity!
Lu Xiao’s mouth twitched.
Put nicely, he was the Body Sect Sect Master; put harshly, wasn’t he just a lonely old man bringing along two kids?
Ning Fengzhi’s eyes flickered slightly.
Seizing the opportunity, he softly spoke to make a request: “Since Senior has settled here to cultivate, this Junior dares to make another uninvited request.”
“We have journeyed all the way through hardship and fatigue, and the hotels in the city are noisy.”
His tone was sincere and his posture was set extremely low: “I wonder if Senior would allow us to stay temporarily at Notting Academy for a few days?”
Ning Fengzhi’s words were extremely clever; they both explained the reason for the temporary stay and gave Du Busi plenty of Face.
Du Busi spoke faintly: “As you like.
Notting Academy is not this old man’s territory anyway; you can stay if you want to, no need to ask me.”
Finished speaking, Du Busi changed the subject and poured the pressure of a Super Douluo without reservation onto Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong.
Feeling this overbearing pressure, Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong’s expressions changed drastically.
Meanwhile, Ning Rongrong, whom Du Busi had deliberately avoided, looked with a curious expression at Lu Xiao behind Du Busi.
“This person here doesn’t like trouble!
If any of you make us feel uncomfortable, I won’t mind making you uncomfortable either!”
On the word “us”, Du Busi bit down extremely hard!
Ning Fengzhi instantly understood and cupped his hands: “Senior, rest assured, we will never expose your identities!”
Hearing the satisfactory reply, the mountain-like pressure around Du Busi instantly converged and vanished without a trace, as if the terrifying sense of oppression just now had never existed at all.
He patted Ning Fengzhi’s shoulder with a large hand, his tone even carrying a hint of praise: “Not bad!
Young man, you have a lot of prospects!”
With that, he led Lu Xiao and Xiao Wu towards the direction of the back mountain.
Ning Fengzhi rubbed his shoulder and looked at Bone Douluo beside him, asking: “Uncle Gu, just how strong is this Senior’s strength?”
Gu Rong’s expression was incomparably solemn.
After a moment of silence, he slowly spoke: “It’s a three-seven split between him and me!”
“Oh?”
Ning Fengzhi raised his eyebrows slightly and murmured in a low voice: “Is this Senior really this strong?”
Bone Douluo shook his head with a bitter smile, his withered Face full of helplessness as he explained indifferently: “You thought wrong.
It’s three punches from him, and I vomit seven liters of blood!”
“Hiss—”
Ning Fengzhi gasped a breath of cold air, the hairs all over his body instantly standing on end as the last trace of luck in his heart completely vanished into thin air.
“Too terrifying…”
Ning Fengzhi murmured softly, his eyes full of deep dread: “No wonder he is completely unafraid of the Clear Sky Sect.
It seems the rumor of Tang Hao being heavily injured is true!”
Gu Rong nodded slightly, “There are very few people in this world who can steadily suppress him.
Even if Chen Xin and I join forces, I’m afraid we still won’t be a match.”
No one noticed that Ning Rongrong, held in Gu Rong’s arms, was currently opening a pair of clear and translucent eyes, gazing toward the deep and quiet direction of the back mountain.
To be precise, she was staring at Lu Xiao, who was being carried by Du Busi!
Meanwhile, Notting Academy back mountain.
The moment they followed Du Busi into the back mountain area, Lu Xiao and Xiao Wu were stunned simultaneously, their Faces full of astonishment.
Three days ago, this place was still a complete mess.
The battle between Du Busi and Tang Hao had stirred the entire back mountain forest into tatters, leaving it desolate and dilapidated.
But the scene coming into view right now had completely taken on a brand-new look.
The broken ancient trees were all propped up and reborn, the turned-up soil was leveled and tamped down, and the scattered gravel and weeds all over the ground had vanished without a trace.
The evening breeze brushed past, branches and leaves swaying, vegetation fresh, presenting a quiet and secluded appearance.
In just three short days, all the environment destroyed by the battle had actually been fully restored to its original state.
In the most spacious place of the mountain forest, an elegant and tidy bamboo building stood quietly.
The bamboo building was built entirely of soul wood called solitary bamboo.
The bamboo walls were smooth and clean, the bamboo windows were transparent, and the roof was covered with neat bamboo strips, simple yet elegant.
The bamboo building was not large, divided into upper and lower floors, with a regular and stable structure, surrounded by a circle of low bamboo railings dotted with sporadic wildflowers by the edges.
A fresh breeze passed through the railings, carrying a faint bamboo fragrance and the scent of vegetation, quiet and cozy.
Without needing to think much, this was definitely the handiwork of Notting Academy.
Lu Xiao let out a long breath, the tension brought by days of fighting suddenly relaxing, making the soreness in his muscles and bones all the more obvious.
Dragging his fatigued body to the edge of the bamboo building’s railing, he reached out to support himself on the slightly cool bamboo railing, his eyes filled with relaxation: “There’s finally a peaceful place.”
Xiao Wu obediently followed beside him, her eyebrows curving as she said softly: “It’s so quiet here, much more comfortable than a wolf den.”
Du Busi slowly walked to the bluestone open space in front of the bamboo building, standing with his hands behind his back.
