"Uncle Ning, I've brought the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures I mentioned before."
"I wonder how you plan to handle them?"
Ning Fengzhi was still pondering how to increase the bet when he heard Lin Xiao's voice. He was slightly stunned, then reacted with great joy.
"You brought them? Naturally, they are for Rongrong to use!"
"Among the family, Rongrong has the highest talent, with Innate Soul Power of a full nine levels. I originally pinned my hopes on Rongrong, hoping she could break the Martial Soul limitations of my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda!"
Soon, Ning Fengzhi sent someone to bring Ning Rongrong back from school.
"Lin Xiao!"
Seeing Lin Xiao, Ning Rongrong happily trotted forward.
Compared to her mischievous image as a child, the current Ning Rongrong, although still lively and outgoing, has learned to consider the feelings of others.
Lin Xiao deserves a lot of credit for this.
He has instilled in Ning Rongrong what she lacked, not fatherly love, but a father's authority!
Lin Xiao took out the Kirin Tulip and briefly explained the effects and uses of the Immortal Herb to Ning Rongrong, then handed it to her, saying:
"Just swallow it."
Ning Rongrong swallowed the Immortal Herb and immediately sat down to digest it.
About half an hour later.
Ning Rongrong stood up in surprise. She felt her Soul Power advancing by leaps and bounds, as if she could catch up with the progress of the other members of the Burning Maple Battle Team!
She immediately realized that Ling Ling and the others had such high cultivation levels because they had swallowed Immortal Herbs. She had been anxious about her low level all along!
Ning Rongrong suddenly became teary-eyed.
"Lin Xiao... did you beg your two teachers for a long time before they agreed to give me the Immortal Herb?"
Lin Xiao:?
No, he just said a word and then went to get the Immortal Herb.
But seeing Ning Rongrong's face full of emotion at this time.
He nodded knowingly, replying with high emotional intelligence:
"The Immortal Herb should have been given to Rongrong in the first place."
Ning Rongrong could no longer suppress the joy and emotion in her heart. She pounced over, wanting to kiss Lin Xiao on the cheek, but Lin Xiao's palm stopped her in mid-air.
Lin Xiao smiled awkwardly and pointed at Ning Fengzhi.
Ning Rongrong's face instantly turned red.
She said softly, "Dad, I just wanted to thank Lin Xiao."
Ning Fengzhi didn't comment.
Lin Xiao nodded, "I understand."
As he said this, Ning Rongrong suddenly became anxious again.
Actually... wasn't she also trying to take advantage of the atmosphere to do something she wanted to do but had no chance to do?
Ning Fengzhi lamented inwardly:
Lin Xiao, still only sees Rongrong as a younger sister.
If he really liked her to death, a young man full of vigor, would he care if her old father was right in front of him?
He would directly commit the crime before his father!
Ning Fengzhi didn't pay too much attention to these things; what he was most concerned about now was another matter.
"Rongrong, release your Martial Soul and let me see?"
Ning Rongrong woke up as if from a dream and immediately released her Martial Soul.
When the beautiful Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda appeared in front of everyone.
Ning Rongrong was stunned.
Ning Fengzhi, at his old age, couldn't even manage his facial expressions and burst into tears on the spot.
"Wuu... I, Ning Fengzhi, am worthy of my ancestors!"
Ning Fengzhi's mind was buzzing, and he was even a little unsteady on his feet, but the way he looked at Lin Xiao was as if he were looking at a living Bodhisattva!
If Lin Xiao needed it, he could kowtow to Lin Xiao on the spot!
Because Lin Xiao had said earlier that the success rate was not high.
And Ning Fengzhi himself had lowered his expectations.
So at this time, witnessing Ning Rongrong's Martial Soul successfully evolve into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, this great surprise almost overwhelmed the old father.
Recalling that he was still thinking of adding more stakes to Lin Xiao.
Ning Fengzhi really wanted to slap himself.
He should have bet everything!
Lin Xiao gave him the Immortal Herb and never asked him for any reward from beginning to end, nor did he mention any difficult or easy conditions!
But he was still using a businessman's mind to measure the relationship between the two!
He, Ning Fengzhi, was really not a good person!
Ning Fengzhi tightly grasped Lin Xiao's hand, "Lin Xiao, you are my benefactor, no, you are the benefactor of our entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."
"Tell me, what do you want?"
"As long as you make a request, Uncle Ning will satisfy it!"
"I'll even give you Rongrong!"
Ning Rongrong stomped her foot, "Dad!"
But what was very intriguing was that she didn't refute it, nor was she angry?!
Lin Xiao gave a stiff smile.
He suspected Ning Fengzhi was trying to weasel out of it.
What's this, you've already taken the Immortal Herb, and now you want to swallow me whole, is that it!
"Uncle Ning, please don't say such things."
Lin Xiao's expression was faintly displeased, "Your esteemed sect treats me with sincerity, and Rongrong also regards me as a brother, so how could I not sincerely consider your interests?"
Ning Fengzhi listened.
He felt like he was being stabbed by ten thousand knives in his heart.
He really deserved to die!
Lin Xiao knew that when it came to scheming, it was difficult for him to compete with a businessman like Ning Fengzhi, so he directly abandoned this path.
Let's not talk about interests, let's talk about feelings!
After talking about feelings, I also want to let you know that aligning with me can bring you more benefits!
"Nephew, Nephew!"
"It's I who have let you down!"
"Uncle Ning is too serious."
Under Ning Rongrong's reluctant gaze, and Ning Fengzhi's self-reproaching voice, Lin Xiao waved his sleeves, not taking away a single cloud.
After he left, Ning Fengzhi's brain was running at high speed.
Of course, it was impossible for him to take advantage of Lin Xiao!
Putting aside his conscience.
Moreover, truly smart businessmen know that if they want to achieve long-term cooperation and win-win results, they must never let the other party suffer.
"Let me think, what does Lin Xiao need?"
Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures?
That's a joke, Ye Qingxian and Dugu Bo can take out Immortal Herbs, they are more generous than him!
Ning Fengzhi recalled some of the things Lin Xiao had asked him to help with.
"Avian Fire Attribute Soul Bone, special Soul Tool, and possibly items related to the Phoenix?"
Ning Fengzhi suddenly understood!
Previously, when Lin Xiao asked him for help, he had of course paid attention, but he had only instructed the people below to report any news.
But now, Ning Fengzhi decided to spend Money, dispatching merchant teams to actively search!
Go to the coast to find, go to the Extreme North to find, go to the Barbarian Tribes to find!
He, Ning Fengzhi, could afford this Money!
...
"I hope Ning Fengzhi can be a bit more reasonable."
After all, mutual benefit is the only way we can work together!
Lin Xiao returned to Ye Residence and found that Dugu Bo was actually waiting for him, along with Ye Qingxian.
Dugu Bo said curiously:
"You kid wants to travel far alone? You've been staying in Heaven Dou City all these years, are you sure you can handle it?"
"You can only grow through experience."
Lin Xiao said frankly:
"Besides, I don't want to live under the protection of Senior Dugu and Aunt Ye forever. A butterfly needs to break out of its cocoon to achieve Flight, and I'm sure I have enough ability to protect myself."
Dugu Bo didn't say anything.
He stroked his beard and thought for a while, suddenly revealing a malicious smile that made Lin Xiao feel goosebumps all over his body.
"Lin Xiao, kid, wanting to train is fine."
"But, I have to test your mettle first. If you're up to par, I'll let you go; if you're just embarrassing yourself, then stay at home obediently. Don't wash your dirty linen in public!"
Lin Xiao had a bad feeling.
