Chapter 266: Ning Tian, the Dilemma of the Nine Treasure Glazed Sect
Chapter 266: Ning Tian, the Dilemma of the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect
Although Poseidon’s Fate has not officially started yet, there are already many people waiting on the shore, and the staff responsible for Poseidon’s Fate props team are setting up the scene.
Huo Yuhao looked around and asked curiously, “What’s going on today? Why is it so lively?”
Wang Dong was surprised and asked, “You don’t know this?”
I thought Xiao Xiao had told Huo Yuhao what happened today.
But think about it, knowing that there is this event today, can Huo Yuhao still calm down and go into seclusion?
Wang Dong knew that although Huo Yuhao liked quietness, he also liked to join in the fun.
“Do you want to know why?”
Wang Dong put his hands on his hips, looking as if he would tell you if you begged him.
Huo Yuhao was not going to tolerate this and directly boarded the boat to the Sea God Island.
Even if Wang Dong didn’t say it, Huo Yuhao knew clearly what was going to happen.
Wang Dong was still waiting for Huo Yuhao to beg her, but in the blink of an eye, Huo Yuhao left her behind and got on the boat.
“Hey, wait for me.”
Wang Dong hurriedly followed and jumped into the boat before it sailed away from the shore.
“What, are you angry?”
Looking at Wang Dong who tilted his head to look at the lake, Huo Yuhao smiled.
“What do you think?”
Wang Dong turned his gaze back to Huo Yuhao and said unhappily.
“In fact, without you telling me, I can already guess what happened.”
Huo Yuhao shrugged and said, “At this time… it should be the Sea God Fate Blind Date Conference, right?”
Although the outer courtyard disciples generally did not know about this matter and were never allowed to watch the ceremony, Huo Yuhao had always known about it. When the Seagod Festival was held a few years ago, Huo Yuhao also pretended to go to the side of the Seagod Lake to enjoy the scenery and used mental detection to peek from afar once, but Elder Mu did not care.
Wang Dong snorted coldly and turned his head to look at the seaside.
Arriving at the inner courtyard cafeteria on Poseidon Island, it was lunchtime and many people were already queuing up.
There weren’t many students in the inner courtyard, and there were probably only about a hundred permanent students. But at this moment, almost all of them gathered in the cafeteria, waiting for the upcoming Poseidon Dating Conference.
There are students who are looking for a dream partner, there are people who want to take this opportunity to establish a relationship with their loved one with everyone’s blessings, and there are also those who just want to watch the fun.
During the boring years of cultivation, the Poseidon Dating Conference is indeed a good entertainment.
“Huo Yuhao, look, the academy provides alcohol, which is not available on normal days.”
After dinner, the first thing Wang Dong saw were several wine barrels placed aside.
“Wine?”
Smelling this familiar yet unfamiliar aroma of wine, Huo Yuhao also wanted to have a drink.
Huo Yuhao doesn’t like to drink. As far as he can remember, whether in his past life or this life, Huo Yuhao has never reached the point where he needs to drink to relieve his sorrow.
But could the wine served in the inner courtyard of Shrek Academy be low-end wine?
Even if he just smelled it from a distance, Huo Yuhao could clearly feel the fragrance and sweetness of the grapes, accompanied by the faint aroma of wine. Instead of being disgusting, it made people immersed in it.
This wine is much better than the one that the chef in my memory survived.
Seeing Huo Yuhao pour a cup, Wang Dong couldn’t resist his curiosity and poured a small cup.
“Have you ever drunk alcohol before?”
Watching Huo Yuhao pick up the cup, take a sip, and then tap it lightly, Wang Dong also tried to imitate him.
As the wine took a sip, the fresh aroma of grapes instantly bloomed in the mouth. The strong aroma made Wang Dong unable to help but close his eyes and feel it carefully.
“I don’t drink much. I just learned by watching others drink.”
When the fragrance of grapes faded, the burning sensation of alcohol burst into life on the tip of the tongue like spring thunder, for a moment Huo Yuhao couldn’t help but smack his lips.
“I didn’t realize that this wine was so strong?”
“You yourself provided the distillation and purification method, but you didn’t see it?”
A clear voice sounded, Huo Yuhao turned his head and saw a quiet and elegant girl.
“Ning Tian?”
Huo Yuhao was quite surprised to see this person.
Ning Tian pointed to the seat next to Huo Yuhao and said, “Can I sit here?”
Huo Yuhao said casually, “As you wish.”
Ning Tian nodded, lifted her skirt, and sat down gracefully.
This scene made the two of them feel very angry.
Well, Wu Feng and Wang Dong.
Ning Tian didn’t beat around the bush. As soon as he sat down, he stated his purpose directly: “There is news that you have developed a trigger device. Can you tell me in detail?”
After several contacts over the years, Ning Tian also figured out Huo Yuhao’s style. If there is something to talk about, then talk about it. If there is no agreement, then part ways amicably.
“You’re well-informed. You found out in just one day?”
Huo Yuhao looked at Ning Tian curiously, knowing that he wanted to take down the trigger device.
Ning Tian picked up a piece of beef and put it into his mouth, saying casually: “If you want to take the wealth of the entire continent, intelligence is an indispensable link.”
“Make an offer first.”
Ning Tian gently put down his chopsticks, glanced at Wang Dong who was looking a little indignant across from him, and said calmly: “What do you think… of me?”
“no?!”
Wang Dong and Wu Feng stood up quickly and looked at Ning Tian in disbelief.
“Are you serious?”
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao stopped eating and looked at Ning Tian in surprise.
“The transaction back then was enough for you to buy a huge amount of resources. I guess you would not be interested in ordinary money and resource transactions.”
Ning Tian looked into Huo Yuhao’s eyes. There was surprise and admiration in his deep blue eyes, but no joy.
“And I…have to get married,”
Ning Tian shook his head and decided to tell the truth.
For people with strong mental strength, it is possible to tell when you are lying.
“Since the day I came to Shrek, I have been observing all the Shrek geniuses, just because the disciples of our Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect need the protection of a strong man.”
“Over the years, there aren’t many guys I can call stunning, and even fewer that I can really like and that don’t bore me.”
“Then Huo Yuhao is even less…”
Before Ning Tian finished speaking, Wang Dong spoke eagerly.
“Cough cough.”
Huo Yuhao coughed lightly and said, “Ms. Ning Tian, to be honest, my talent is only average among all the Shrek students…”
Ning Tian retorted: “But for the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, your strength is not the most important. Having another title will have limited effect on the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. Instead, your soul guide talent is more important to the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.”
God knows how amazed Ning Tian was when he saw the trigger device for the first time.
According to Ning Tian’s judgment, this trigger device can work on most soul guides.
For the disciples of the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect whose upper limit of cultivation is level 79, as long as they master this technology, the sect master will be able to personally control the lethal soul guides accumulated by the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect over the years.
This also means that the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect has an additional channel to convert wealth into combat power.
For the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect, which had been an auxiliary sect for more than 10,000 years, this was a huge temptation. As long as they tried to infiltrate Mingde Hall and get the sealed milk bottle, the leader of the Nine Treasures Glazed Tower Martial Spirit would have real power, rather than being a strong man who could only be cultivated by relying on favors.
Yes, the power of the leader of the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect is getting smaller and smaller now.
More power is concentrated in the hands of those titled strongmen whom the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect has spent a lot of effort to cultivate.
Although the Jiubao Liuli Sect considered the issue of loyalty when selecting disciples worthy of training, the dark side of human nature is still unavoidable.
With the emergence of powerful titles with bad qualities such as selfishness, greed for life and fear of death, the voice of the leader of the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect has actually become increasingly low.
Getting them to be willing to protect the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect was already the limit, let alone asking them to die, so in recent years, the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect has become more and more low-key, and even had to choose to remain neutral in the war that affected the continent.
After all, those title holders are not willing to take risks on the battlefield…
If one wants to regain the right to speak, taking force into one’s own hands is an indispensable part. Binding Shrek’s strong men is one way, and controlling a powerful soul guide is another way.
Therefore, Ning Tian chose to enroll in Shrek.
So, Ning Tian found Huo Yuhao today.
“Thank you Miss Ning Tian for recognizing me.”
Huo Yuhao said calmly: “However, I have already handed over the relevant technology to the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy. If your sect needs to modify the soul guide, you can contact the corresponding person in charge.”
Ning Tian’s eyes lit up.
Yeah, how could I have forgotten about this.
The trigger device does not necessarily have to be made by the Jiubao Liuli Sect itself. The Jiubao Liuli Sect can provide a finished soul guide device, which can be modified by Shrek.
“But you really won’t consider me?”
Ning Tian glanced at Wang Dong again and chuckled, “As long as you are willing, the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect’s treasure house will be open to you. With the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect’s accumulated wealth over thousands of years, not only can we easily push you to the throne of title, but we can also provide you with enough rare metals to squander, allowing you to become an eighth-level soul mentor in the shortest time.”
As for level nine.
Even though the Jiubao Liuli Sect has studied soul guides for thousands of years, no one has been able to take that step.
There is no other reason. The people of the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect have the talent (soul guide device), but not the talent (soul power level).
However, the people recruited by the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect from the common people were completely the opposite.
Huo Yuhao, who possesses talents in two aspects, is truly a rare talent in the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. Even with the resources and technologies accumulated by the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect over the years, it is possible that Huo Yuhao will be the first ninth-level soul engineer in Douluo Three Kingdoms.
For this reason, Ning Tian decided to try again.
“Click——”
Wang Dong and Wu Feng broke the chopsticks in their hands at the same time.
Feeling the murderous aura in the air, Huo Yuhao felt a little ashamed: “Thank you Miss Ning Tian for your recognition, but I don’t have any intention of looking for a partner in the short term…”
Ning Tian looked at Huo Yuhao deeply, and finally stopped talking about this matter. Instead, he inquired about another matter:
“Are you planning to attend the Poseidon Dating Conference tonight?”
Wang Dong’s ears moved slightly, and he looked at Huo Yuhao with the same curiosity.
Huo Yuhao shook his head and said, “Ms. Ning Tian, I’ve said before that I have no intention of looking for a partner in the short term.”
Hearing this, Wang Dong felt both happy and disappointed.
Ning Tian nodded and said, “In that case, I won’t participate tonight.”
!!!
Wang Dong looked at Ning Tian in disbelief.
So you are still targeting Huo Yuhao?
Feeling someone’s gaze, Ning Tian chuckled and explained, “Sea God Fate allows the bride to be robbed. I was thinking of causing you some trouble.”
After all, Huo Yuhao was the first one to reject Ning Tian’s advances.
Huo Yuhao said helplessly: “Don’t you want to find a powerful partner? Why did you choose me?”
Ning Tian’s eyes flashed with sadness: “You don’t understand.”
In the eyes of outsiders, the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect is the world’s number one auxiliary sect, and has even collected the wealth of the entire continent. However, only those who are truly disciples of the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect can understand the predicament of the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect.
“what?”
Ning Tian’s voice was too soft, and he didn’t even pronounce it carefully. Even though a soul master’s hearing was far superior to that of ordinary people, Huo Yuhao still couldn’t hear clearly what Ning Tian was muttering.
“nothing?”
Ning Tian calmed down his emotions and whispered, “Although the other people in the academy have amazing talents, they are of limited use to the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. It is not worth it for me to invest all my chips now…”
thank you!
Huo Yuhao had a strange look on his face.
Fortunately, Ning Tian’s voice was low enough that even Huo Yuhao could barely hear it.
If Ning Tian’s words were heard by other people in the inner courtyard, Huo Yuhao would offend everyone in an instant.
What? I, a student of the inner court, can’t beat this Huo Yuhao?
Probably so.
Ning Tian didn’t order much food to begin with, so he finished quickly and left.
After watching Ning Tian and Wu Feng leave, Wang Dong snorted coldly: “I didn’t expect you to be so popular. Even the young master of the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect has taken the initiative to show his goodwill.”
Huo Yuhao puffed out his chest and said, “That’s right. After all, I am a genius.”
Ning Tian came here purely for his soul guide talent, so Huo Yuhao could say this without any guilt.
Wang Dong gritted his teeth and said, “Yes, great genius.”
“Speaking of which, did you attend the Poseidon Dating Event tonight?”
Huo Yuhao changed the subject.
Since Wang Dong hasn’t changed into women’s clothes at this time, it seems that he has no intention of going.
Wang Dong said proudly: “With my talent and looks, do I need to go on blind dates if I want to date someone?”
“Too,”
Huo Yuhao nodded and said, “After all, even Meng Hongchen was fascinated by you.”
“Stop it, don’t mention that guy in front of me.”
When this was mentioned, Wang Dong’s face turned black.
She is a girl, and even if she is currently dressed as a man, it is really hard for her to accept being pursued by a same-sex person.
Huo Yuhao looked at the time and it was almost time. No wonder most of the students in the cafeteria had left.
Only Huo Yuhao, who was hungry, was still eating. Even Wang Dong stopped eating and just stayed here to chat with Huo Yuhao.
“It’s almost time, let’s go and watch the fun!”
The huge Poseidon Lake is an extremely broad stage. More than a hundred inner courtyard students gathered together and it not only did not seem crowded, but rather seemed very spacious.
Of course, the stage by the lake and on the lake belongs to those who participate in the Poseidon Festival.
People like Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong who were watching the fun could only take a boat with the teachers from the academy and be spectators from a distance.
Under the expectant gazes of the crowd, beams of light suddenly shot out from the lake, and a total of fifteen beams of light golden light shone.
Through the hazy mist, Huo Yuhao silently stared at the fifteen beams of light.
There were originally seventeen, but after removing Ning Tianwu Fengwangdong, there should only be fifteen left. Who is the extra person?
