Chapter 279: The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School Pledges Allegiance
Speaking of which, quite a few demons and monsters came; just now, Huo Yuhao had met with Xu Tianran, the Crown Prince of the Sun Moon Empire, whose intentions were self-evident: to seek treatment for his old ailment.
Huo Yuhao feigned to let Ye Lengleng try to treat him, but the result was naturally futile. In fact, there was no need to pretend; Ye Lengleng's cultivation was still shallow, and she couldn't regenerate severed limbs. Although Xu Tianran didn't have severed limbs, he wasn't far from it.
In the end, Xu Tianran could only leave disappointed.
Huo Yuhao didn't have any ill feelings towards Xu Tianran; this guy could be said to be an excellent emperor, but unfortunately, he trusted the wrong person and raised a viper.
… …
"What, you want to join the Heavenly Court?"
Inside the back hall, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but be surprised. Before seeing Ning Zhiyuan, he had thought of many things, such as Ning Zhiyuan wanting to fight for the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School's interests in the Ming Realm and Soul Ring Enhancement Packages.
Or perhaps the two sects would form an alliance, just like the Body Sect and the Heavenly Court, but he never expected Ning Zhiyuan to lead the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School to join the Heavenly Court.
You must know that Ning Zhiyuan is different from Nan Shuishui. The Nan Shuishui family's inherited martial soul is Rouge Dragon, which is extremely powerful. With this kind of martial soul, Nan Shuishui can thrive no matter which force she joins.
But Ning Zhiyuan is different; the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda martial soul can only cultivate to level seventy-nine at most.
So even in this era, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School still largely relies on outsiders, such as Sword and Bone Douluo.
Under such circumstances, why would Ning Zhiyuan choose to join the Heavenly Court? Huo Yuhao couldn't think of a reason.
Moreover, there is also the fact that Ning Tian obtained a God Ranking reward. After her martial soul evolves, she is likely to bring the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School to a new height. In that case, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School shouldn't rely on others even more.
With the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School around, the Ning family is the master, but if they join the Heavenly Court, that may not be the case.
Huo Yuhao stared fixedly at Ning Zhiyuan, waiting to see what he would say.
Ning Zhiyuan was a little uncomfortable. Under the other party's gaze, he felt as if he had taken off his clothes and was being scrutinized, with all his secrets exposed.
"I observe that Lord Huo is no ordinary person. What you are doing now is unmatched throughout history.
I have a premonition that in the near future, the Soul Master world of the continent will usher in earth-shattering changes. Ning is not talented, but I consider myself to be good at recognizing people."
"I believe that the future era will definitely belong to you, Lord. If you don't mind, Ning and the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School are willing to follow you and create a great cause together."
Huo Yuhao didn't speak; he strongly suspected Ning Zhiyuan's motives. He didn't think he was some kind of Dragon Aotian; with a shake of his tiger body, people would bow down to him.
It's still the same sentence: without benefits, who would follow you? Ning Zhiyuan wouldn't stay in the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School to be his local emperor, but instead ran over to be his subordinate. It just doesn't make sense.
"Lord, I think you should know the current situation of the Heavenly Court. Shrek and the major royal families are eyeing us covetously. I believe you have countermeasures, but with the addition of my Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, it will be like adding wings to a tiger."
"However, Ning has another presumptuous request."
Hearing that Ning Zhiyuan had conditions, Huo Yuhao didn't react much; instead, he felt that this was how it should be. He didn't believe that a person could be without desires.
"Sect Leader Ning, please speak."
Ning Zhiyuan looked at Huo Yuhao seriously and said, "I hope that after you become a god in the future, you can find a path to breakthrough for my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda."
"Become a god?"
Huo Yuhao's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said, "Becoming a god is so difficult. Since the seven gods of the past, no one has been able to become a god. Sect Leader Ning overestimates me too much."
Ning Zhiyuan smiled slightly: "If even you can't become a god, then no one else is possible."
"Ning doesn't dare to ask for anything extravagant; I only hope that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda can absorb soul rings normally like other martial souls."
Huo Yuhao thought for a while, then suddenly changed the subject and asked, "Has Sect Leader Ning ever heard of Wang Dong? Hmm, the Wang Dong who made it onto the God Ranking."
Wang Dong, after the God Ranking's public announcement, possesses the unprecedented Three Lives Martial Soul: Clear Sky Hammer, Goddess of Light Butterfly, and Sea God.
Putting aside everything else, just the Sea God martial soul alone can explain a lot.
At least on the surface, Wang Dong's chances of becoming a god are much greater than Huo Yuhao's, so why didn't Ning Zhiyuan go to find Wang Dong? This made Huo Yuhao quite curious.
Ning Zhiyuan was first stunned, but soon understood Huo Yuhao's thoughts.
"Wang Dong, well, Ning has naturally heard of him. Three Lives Martial Soul, Sea God, his talent is indeed very strong.
But talent doesn't represent achievement. Facts have proven that your achievements far surpass that Wang Dong. I personally admire your many methods very much."
"Moreover, since the God Ancestor and the Sea God couldn't solve the problem of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, Ning doesn't think that the Sea God's successor can solve it."
Huo Yuhao smiled slightly. This Ning Zhiyuan seemed to be here to flatter him, but he spoke very nicely. He understood that this guy valued his creativity.
Moreover, this guy had some resentment in his words when he mentioned Ning Rongrong and Tang San. But thinking about it, it made sense. It's not that Ning Rongrong couldn't solve it; it's that she didn't care at all.
Even his Sword Grandpa and Bone Grandpa didn't think about resurrecting; they only thought about going to the God Realm with Oscar to live shameless days.
Since things had been said to this point, Huo Yuhao no longer suspected anything and said, "In that case, welcome everyone to join the Heavenly Court. Flame Phoenix Douluo, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo can directly enter the Holy Hall and enjoy one 100,000-year soul ring upgrade quota each year.
Sect Leader Ning, I am willing to treat you as the Hall Master of the Soul Tool Hall. What do you all think?"
The few people immediately stood up and bowed their heads, saying in unison, "Greetings, Your Excellency."
"Your Excellency, you know Tian'er. I wonder what you think of my daughter?"
Ning Zhiyuan's eyes turned and he said.
Huo Yuhao smiled and asked directly, "What do you want to say?"
Ning Zhiyuan: "To be honest, my daughter has always admired Your Excellency very much. If, if Your Excellency doesn't mind, why not let Tian'er follow you and serve Your Excellency's daily life?"
Before coming, Ning Zhiyuan had thought it through. Huo Yuhao was young and promising, had status and talent. Only such a young hero was worthy of his daughter.
Moreover, if he could match his daughter with Huo Yuhao, then the position of his Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School in the Heavenly Court could also be raised, and it might even directly turn over and become the master in the future.
The old-fashioned sending-a-daughter plot, Huo Yuhao secretly curled his lips, about to refuse.
At this time, coincidentally, a graceful figure walked into the back hall with light steps.
A turquoise dress, pigtails, a complete loli. Bingdi came as if she were a cat who smelled fishy.
"Bing'er, why are you here?" Huo Yuhao waved to Bingdi.
Bingdi hopped and skipped to Huo Yuhao's side, hugged Huo Yuhao's arm, and said, "I heard you're going to find me a younger sister, I'm here to help you check, hee hee."
As she spoke, Bingdi glanced at Ning Zhiyuan meaningfully.
Everyone could hear the ill intentions in Bingdi's words, as well as the strong sourness.
