“Since we are marrying, the threshold absolutely cannot be low!”
The Second Elder of the inner Sect slammed the teacup in his hand heavily onto the table, blowing his beard and staring wide-eyed.
“Forget about those princesses of small kingdoms or the eldest daughters of small Sects; they aren’t worthy of our Young Lord!”
“Right! Quality over quantity!”
These old men had just witnessed the miracle of “artificial twin spirits” with their own eyes, and now their eyes were all bloodshot.
Ning Fengzhi didn’t stop them at this moment; instead, he nodded in strong agreement.
With a wave of his sleeve, he took out a golden scroll from his storage spirit tool and spread it directly across the five-meter-long huanghuali wood long table.
“This is a directory of all age-appropriate Prodigy women across the continent, which our Sect’s intelligence network previously spent a lot of energy recording.”
Ning Fengzhi pointed at the dense names and portraits on the dossier.
“You guys come and advise, see whose daughter is suitable this time.”
As soon as his voice fell, the high-ranking members of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, who were usually high above and could cause an earthquake with a casual stomp in the outside world, all crowded over in a swish.
That scene was simply more fanatical than picking Chinese cabbage in a vegetable market.
“Hey, look at this one!”
The Third Elder pointed at a page of portraits, his face full of excitement, “Huo Wu! Top-grade mutated Spirit, Fire Shadow.”
“This girl has a fierce temper, subduing her will definitely be exciting for the Young Lord!”
“Forget it.”
Someone nearby immediately retorted, “Don’t you know, last time we went to present betrothal gifts to the Shui Family, that Huo Wu still thought our Tian’er was a waste and refused to marry him to the death!”
“I think the Shui Family’s girl is more tender and charming.”
“The Shui Family has already married Shui Bing’er, isn’t that enough?”
“What’s wrong with marrying a few more? Can’t we gather a table for mahjong?”
Just as these people were arguing until their faces were red, Elder Zhao of the outer Sect, who had just awakened the “iron pot” Spirit, pointed at a name in the corner of the dossier, his eyes shining brightly.
“Old fellows, flip further back! Look at this!”
“Elephant Armored Academy Hu Yan Zhen’s own granddaughter!”
Elder Zhao gestured an exaggerated gourd shape in the air with both hands, spittle flying everywhere.
“Look at this physique! This bone structure! This leg strength!”
“I’m telling you, this is definitely the best of the best, resounding when spanked, and extremely good for childbearing!”
“If the Young Lord marries her, it’s guaranteed to be two children in three years and four in five years, and what’s born will definitely be a robust lad!”
Ning Tian, who was originally slumped in the master chair and leisurely eating melon seeds, had a hand tremor upon hearing these words.
The freshly shelled melon seed kernel almost directly stuck in his throat.
He suddenly sat straight, looking at Elder Zhao with a look of disgust.
“Stop! Elder Zhao, if you like that physique, you can go propose marriage yourself!”
“My frail bones cannot withstand the Mount Tai pressing down of such a two-hundred-catty female warrior. I still want to live a few more years!”
The whole audience burst into laughter.
Ning Fengzhi also helplessly rubbed his brow, curving his fingers to tap the tabletop.
“Alright, stop joking.”
“Tian’er wants to marry, and outstanding talent is certain.”
“However, I think, since my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is bound to rise greatly, why not also take this opportunity to marry into alliances to expand the Sect’s sphere of influence or weaken the foundations of those potential opponents.”
Ning Fengzhi looked towards the Elder in charge of the intelligence department.
“Tell me, what are the recent movements of the Prodigies of those top forces across the continent?”
The latter walked up quickly, directly flipped the dossier to a later page, and pointed at a name on it.
“Sect Master, Elders.” Visit g.com for the full chapter.
“Speaking of intelligence, coupled with the Sect Master’s previous thoughts, I believe that the most suitable target currently is right here.”
Everyone poked their heads to look.
On the portrait was a girl wearing tight black leather clothes.
Her figure was somewhat exaggeratedly good, her expression cold and distant, exuding a wildness that kept strangers away.
“Star Luo Empire, Second Miss of the Zhu Family of the Hell Civet Family, Zhu Zhuqing.”
Ning Fengzhi raised an eyebrow.
“Hell Civet? Isn’t that a Family that has intermarried with the Star Luo Imperial Family’s White Tiger Spirit for generations? This is the core circle of the Star Luo Empire.”
This Elder nodded, lowering his voice a bit.
“Indeed so.”
“But according to the urgent confidential report sent back early this morning by our spies buried in the Star Luo Empire, this Second Miss just ran away from home earlier.”
“Ran away? Why?”
Gu Rong nearby was somewhat curious.
This Elder sneered.
“Everyone knows the cruel Gu-raising-style competition of the Star Luo Imperial Family. The losers only have a dead end.”
“This Second Miss’s original fiancé was the third prince of the Star Luo Empire, Dai Mubai.”
“But that Dai Mubai is an absolute coward; seeing no hope in competing for the throne, he actually sneaked away, abandoning his fiancée, and fled to a Spirit Master academy on the Heaven Dou Empire side.”
“The Second Miss of the Zhu Family was isolated and helpless, with no expectations left in the Family. If she kept waiting, she would probably be tortured to death by the First Prince’s lineage, so she simply fled as well.”
“Now, the Star Luo Imperial Family and the lineage of the Zhu Family’s eldest young master’s wife have sent quite a few assassins to hunt her down along the way.”
“She is fleeing toward the Heaven Dou Empire border, and her situation should be somewhat dangerous.”
After hearing these words, the hall was quiet for a few seconds.
Ning Tian sat in the master chair, throwing the melon seed shells in his hand directly into the fruit plate.
On the surface, he remained calm, but in his heart, he was already blooming with joy.
Zhu Zhuqing?
This was the famously cold and glamorous cat-girl from the original work!
Ning Tian chanted silently in his heart, and the System interface instantly popped up on his retina.
[ Name: Zhu Zhuqing ]
[ Rating: 93 ]
[ Identity: Second Miss of the Zhu Family of the Star Luo Empire ]
[ Spirit: Hell Civet ]
[ Statistics: 168cm, 92 / 58 / 98 ]
[ Breasts: E- ]
[ Interface Count: 0 ]
[ Weakness: Not yet conquered, unable to view. ]
Looking at those extremely dazzling lines of data, Ning Tian’s breathing became a bit heavier.
A rating of 93 definitely belonged to the top-tier Prodigy.
The most crucial part was that E- chest; this body shape paired with the unique flexibility of the agility-attack system like the Hell Civet.
If they really practiced hands-on, that physical technique…
It would definitely be even more fierce and exciting than the ice-attribute Shui Bing’er!
Ning Tian patted his thigh, finalizing it with a bang, “Just her!”
Having Elders handle everything in front while he only had to be responsible for accepting the results—this feeling was simply exhilarating to the max.
Ning Fengzhi stroked his chin, a flash of shrewd light passing through the depths of his eyes.
“Adding flowers to a brocade can never compare with sending charcoal in snowy weather.”
He looked at Ning Tian and began imparting experience.
“Tian’er, this Second Miss of the Zhu Family is currently at the lowest point and most desperate moment of her life.”
“Her fiancé is a waste who abandoned her, and her Family wants to kill her.”
“At this time, if you can descend from the heavens like a savior and block all pursuers for her.”
“Not only can you logically bring her back to the Sect, but you can also easily grasp her weakness.”
“A girl with such a stubborn personality, cold on the outside and warm on the inside, values kindness the most. As long as you give her shelter, she will definitely be loyal to you to the death.”
Ning Tian raised his thumb, full of admiration.
“Old man, your schemes are still the deepest. This is simply selling someone and making them help us count the money.”
“That’s only natural.”
Facing his son’s flattery, Ning Fengzhi didn’t pretend anymore and accepted it calmly.
“However,”
The Grand Elder spoke with some hesitation, “Sect Master, this girl is after all the designated daughter-in-law of the Star Luo Empire Imperial Family. If we snatch her back so forcefully, and the Star Luo Empire gets anxious over there…”
“Snatch? What do you mean by snatch!”
Before Ning Fengzhi could speak, Gu Rong directly slapped the table, shaking the teacups to a clattering ring.
“That little bastard Dai Mubai lacked the guts to run away and abandoned his fiancée.”
“Our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School Young Lord is benevolent and kind-hearted; this is helping them, the Star Luo Empire, take in stray cats and reduce population pressure!”
Gu Rong’s old face exuded an air of domineeringness.
“If they dare to let out half a fart, this old man will personally go to Star Luo Imperial City to see!”
“Well said! What qualification does a coward who can’t even protect his own woman have to monopolize a Prodigy?”
Lei Zhen also roared out.
At this moment, the high-level members in the entire hall once again reached a highly unified robber logic.
For the artificial twin spirits, for the eternal generations of the Sect, let alone snatching an abandoned imperial fiancée, even if it were Spirit Hall’s Holy Maiden, as long as Ning Tian fancied her, they would dare to kidnap her.
“There is no time to lose!”
Gu Rong grabbed Ning Tian’s arm and pulled him up from the master chair.
“Tian’er, let’s go! This old man will take you to block people at the Star Luo Empire border right now!”
“With Grandpa Gu here, if anyone dares to touch a single hair of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School’s Second Young Mistress, I will make them wish they were dead!”
Chen Xin was holding his sword nearby.
“Old Gu, you do things rashly; why don’t I take Tian’er instead.”
“Shoo, shoo, shoo! Old Sword Bone, this time you stay behind to watch the house.”
“This kind of rough work of snatching people still requires my Bone Dragon Spirit to step out to have an Aura!”
Gu Rong didn’t give Chen Xin a chance to retort at all, spirit power surging on his body as he directly tore open a spatial rift with his bare hands in the center of the hall.
Ning Tian tidied his collar and smiled as he waved to the Elders in the hall.
“Elders, for the prosperity and flourishing of our Sect, I am duty-bound to go and catch this escaped little wildcat back!”
