Chapter 68 Tang San Rescues Xiao Wu, Catching a Turtle in a Jar
A foolproof elixir?
Gu Rong looked at the things Mo Xuewei handed him with some suspicion.
Mo Xuewei said, "This was obtained through royal channels, so Bone Douluo can rest assured. I am right here. If I really wanted to harm my teacher, I wouldn't have summoned so many people to treat him. Besides, since you are here, if I were to harm my teacher, you are free to do so. I will not utter a single complaint."
Having said that, Gu Rong couldn't refuse: "Your Highness, that's not what I meant."
He accepted the elixir.
What Xue Qinghe said makes a lot of sense. He's right here, so Xue Qinghe probably wouldn't dare to do anything underhanded.
After taking the pill, Ning Fengzhi slowly woke up and opened his eyes.
"Charming!"
Gu Rong said excitedly.
After so many days, Ning Fengzhi has finally woken up!
Gu Rong leaned close to Ning Fengzhi, who frowned, feeling a slight headache. With Gu Rong's help, he stood up: "Uncle Gu, where is this...?"
Gu Rong replied, "This is the East Palace. Fengzhi, you fainted earlier, and His Highness summoned the imperial physician to treat you. Fengzhi, is there anything else that's bothering you? Do you need a doctor to come and see you?"
Ning Fengzhi woke up, and Gu Rong put all his suspicions aside. The only person he cared about was Ning Fengzhi.
"It's alright, Uncle Gu, I'm fine." Ning Fengzhi patted Gu Rong's hand, indicating that he was alright.
Then, he turned to Mo Xuewei beside him and said, "Your Highness, I've troubled you these past few days. Thank you for your trouble."
Mo Xuewei smiled slightly and said, "Teacher, you don't need to be so polite. You are my teacher, so it is only right that I take the time to help you. Teacher, your health is not as good as usual, so you should rest more. I will not pursue the matter of your daughter, but please tell her not to talk nonsense outside. Otherwise, if these words reach Father's ears, even ten of me will not be able to do anything about it."
Ning Fengzhi felt somewhat ashamed about Ning Rongrong's matter: "Your Highness, rest assured, I will handle my family affairs properly, and such rumors will not spread."
"That's good then." Mo Xuewei nodded, then added with concern, "Teacher, please rest first. I have some things to take care of, so I won't stay any longer."
"Yes, Your Highness, please take care," Ning Fengzhi replied.
Mo Xuewei turned around and left the guest room.
After Mo Xuewei left, Gu Rong asked again, "Feng Zhi, are you really alright?"
Ning Fengzhi shook his head: "It's nothing, I'm just a little weak, I'll be fine after a rest."
Only after Ning Fengzhi confirmed it himself did Gu Rong feel relieved.
He said, "I've already had Rongrong sent back. Old Swordsman will take good care of her. You don't need to worry about this."
Mentioning Ning Rongrong, Ning Fengzhi couldn't help but sigh: "Rongrong, I really shouldn't have entrusted her to Shrek Academy. In the years she's been there, her personality has changed drastically. She's become outspoken and even brought disaster upon the entire sect for someone. This...this...sigh!"
Ning Fengzhi was truly heartbroken. Ning Rongrong's words were still ringing in his ears; every word and every sentence was stabbing at his heart.
Everything he did was for the sect, yet his daughter, the one he was to entrust the sect to in the future, actually rebuked him.
How could he not be heartbroken? How could he not be sad?
Gu Rong only had Ning Fengzhi's emotions, but Rongrong, wasn't she also affectionate and righteous?
"Fengzhi, Rongrong is still young and doesn't understand what we're doing now. She'll understand when she's older," Gu Rong comforted Ning Fengzhi.
Ning Fengzhi shook his head. "Uncle Gu, this matter isn't as simple as you think. Even if Rongrong is young, she's not someone who disregards the sect. She's lived a life of luxury since childhood; her status and position are all thanks to the sect. The sect raised her, so how could she betray them? She's understood this principle since she was little. Shrek Academy brainwashed her, turning her into what she is today. The fault lies with both Shrek Academy and Rongrong herself. Wrong is wrong, and age is not an excuse. When we get back, we need to have a serious talk with Rongrong. If she continues like this, then we'll have to put her in solitary confinement. This time, Uncle Gu, you and Uncle Jian can't let her out again." Ning Fengzhi spoke very seriously, and Gu Rong knew that he couldn't intervene this time.
He responded and agreed, believing that Chenxin would agree as well.
After resting for a while, Ning Fengzhi led Gu Rong away from the Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace.
Before leaving, he went to the main hall of the East Palace to bid farewell to Mo Xuewei. Mo Xuewei didn't say anything else, only told Ning Fengzhi to take good care of his health, and then had someone see them out.
Three days later, in Wuhun City.
Upon receiving news of the 100,000-year-old soul beast, Pope Bibi Dong immediately led several serving elders of the Spirit Hall to the Star Dou Great Forest.
After the large group left, Tang San took out his life-giving soul tool to absorb the life force within the Spirit Hall.
Green particles emanated from the human body, and the life-giving soul guide rose into the air, enveloping the entire Spirit Hall.
"What is that?"
"What are these green dots?"
"Eh!"
"thump--"
Some soldiers suddenly fell down, and the Spirit Hall suddenly fell into chaos.
Outside the Spirit Hall, Guang Ling and Qian Renxue flew in the sky.
Looking at the green light in the ascension soul guide, Guangling couldn't help but ask Qian Renxue, "Xiaoxue, what's going on?"
The sanctuary was empty; therefore, most of the life force came from the soldiers outside the Papal Palace.
The energy in their bodies was absorbed and used as energy for the life-giving soul guide.
Qian Renxue explained, "Xue Wei absorbed the energy from this soul tool before, and it is currently in a state of energy deficiency. So once it is activated, it will absorb the power of living beings within its range to replenish itself. However, it has already recognized Xue Wei as its master, so it is not a big problem. Xue Wei can control it to expel the absorbed power of living beings and return it to its original host."
Guangling nodded: "I see."
Qian Renxue continued, "If we were inside, the life-soul guiding device would be easily filled up, which is why Tang San sent most of the powerful figures away. But since it's a case of catching a turtle in a jar, let's let him be smug for a while longer."
Guangling smiled and said, "That's true. I'll just be a spectator today and see what they can do."
Tang San and his companions sneaked into the Spirit Hall amidst the chaos.
Following the blueprints provided by Bibi Dong, they quickly located the place where Xiao Wu was being held.
In the cold, damp dungeon, Xiao Wu was being guarded.
Tang San and his group rushed in, and the Soul Master guarding Xiao Wu immediately attacked them.
Liu Erlong and Flander each took on one opponent. Even though their opponents were both Soul Douluo level, their strength was naturally not as strong as it would be when their energy was drained.
In the midst of the fierce battle, Tang San rushed to Xiao Wu's rescue: "Xiao Wu!"
