Lin Xiao and the others finished their shopping, ate something casually, and headed towards the Ye Residence.
"Oh, right, almost forgot!"
Lin Xiao ran to the post station and mailed the Thousand Year Whale Gel capsules to Shui Binger, detailing the daily dosage in the letter.
There were also Ten Thousand Year Whale Gel capsules, but because the Ten Thousand Year Whale Gel was extremely precious, he placed them in a sealed box, wrote a detailed letter explaining its effects, and asked Ye Qingxian to have someone deliver it to Shui Binger personally.
Ye Lingling was a little jealous.
"Is that little girl so important to you?"
He never forgets to give her benefits!
Lin Xiao smiled slightly.
"I won't forget Lingling-jie when there are benefits either."
"Tch, cheesy."
"I'm not a little girl, I don't need you to think about me!"
Ye Lingling glared at Lin Xiao playfully.
Just then.
An elegant middle-aged man and an old man with white hair and a straight back walked towards them.
"Are you Lin Xiao?"
Ning Fengzhi cut straight to the chase, revealing Lin Xiao's identity directly.
Lin Xiao was stunned, looking up at the two of them, feeling that their figure, appearance, and temperament all gave him a sense of familiarity.
But he was certain that he had never met them before.
Dugu Yan recognized them.
"The Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Sword Douluo?"
Ning Fengzhi chuckled and nodded, looking at Lin Xiao, and said gently, "Thank you for saving Rongrong last time. Rongrong has been talking about you since she returned. As her father, I also wanted to find an opportunity to thank you. It just so happened that we met today."
Saying he was there to repay a debt of gratitude would lower people's guard.
However, Lin Xiao's expression was strange.
He had only helped Ning Rongrong a little, it wasn't really to the point of using the word "save," and Ning Fengzhi had actually come to his door specifically for this?
Wasn't that a bit too polite...
Ning Fengzhi warmly invited:
"Why don't you young friends come and sit at my place?"
"Especially Lin Xiao, I must properly repay you."
Lin Xiao declined.
"Sorry, Uncle Ning, the three of us still need to go back for dinner, otherwise Aunt Ye will probably be angry."
Ning Fengzhi had expected this and immediately said, "Then how about another day? Lin Xiao, you set a date, or I'll have someone invite you. You must come to my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School then, to fulfill my duty as a host."
"As for that girl Rongrong, you don't need to worry, I will keep her in check."
Lin Xiao hadn't even spoken yet.
But Ning Fengzhi had already decided.
"It's just a meal, I have a good relationship with the Ye Family Head. If she knew about this, she would definitely agree. I'll have someone come and invite you then."
From beginning to end.
Ning Fengzhi didn't say anything about trying to win him over. In his opinion, directly trying to win someone over was a bit too low-end, and emotions maintained purely by interests couldn't buy sincerity.
He just needed to be grateful to Lin Xiao.
That way, even if Lin Xiao doesn't develop a favorable impression of him, he definitely won't feel any resistance.
A faint smile rose on Ning Fengzhi's face.
"I heard your Martial Soul is a phoenix?"
"I happen to have something to give you."
Having said that, Ning Fengzhi gently stroked the Storage Ring on his hand, and then with a flash of light, a crimson egg with flame patterns appeared in his hand.
And after this egg appeared.
Lin Xiao felt his Martial Soul faintly restless.
It seemed that absorbing it would greatly benefit him.
"This is the egg of a 50,000-year Soul Beast, the Crimson Demon Azure Kite. Although it's just a stillborn, the trace of phoenix bloodline in the Crimson Demon Azure Kite is still preserved in this egg."
"If you can absorb it, it should be helpful to your Martial Soul."
Crimson Demon Azure Kite?
This kind of Soul Beast is extremely rare, because it has the bloodline of a phoenix, and it is even the Soul Ring choice that all Soul Masters with bird-type Martial Souls flock to.
Firstly, phoenixes are inherently noble, and their bloodline is not as widespread as that of the dragon clan; secondly, even the dragon clan, known for its "promiscuity," has very few pure-blooded dragons. Currently, only Di Tian and Zi Ji can be considered pure-blooded dragons.
Lin Xiao didn't know what Ning Fengzhi wanted to do, but he was giving too much.
It's just a meal...
It can't be a Hongmen Banquet, right? "However, even if this Crimson Demon Azure Kite egg is just a stillborn, absorbing it still requires a great deal of physical and mental strength. You must be careful."
"If my good intentions turn into bad deeds, I would really be making a fool of myself."
Ning Fengzhi changed the subject and said naturally, "I still can't rest assured giving it to you. How about this, let Uncle Sword test your physical strength and mental power to see if you can withstand this Crimson Demon Azure Kite egg?"
After going around in such a big circle!
Ning Fengzhi finally revealed his true intentions! Lin Xiao's strength as a 7-year-old Great Soul Master was too astonishing. Was it achieved through special means of forced growth, or was it the result of steady and solid cultivation? There is a world of difference between the two!
Whether he is a dragon or a worm will be known soon!
The smile on the refined middle-aged man's face seemed very mysterious and unpredictable, even faintly smug. This was a straightforward and decisive overt scheme! I'm giving you a treasure, but I'm afraid you won't be able to absorb it, so I'm kindly helping you test your physical strength and mental power. You can't find fault with that, right?
However...
Lin Xiao hesitated for a moment, and finally shook his head.
"Forget it, Uncle Ning."
"Please take this Crimson Demon Azure Kite egg back."
Lin Xiao wouldn't be so foolish as to give away all his secrets for a little petty gain.
Even if Ning Fengzhi had no malicious intentions towards him.
Ning Fengzhi was a little surprised.
He doesn't even want an egg with a trace of phoenix bloodline?
Isn't it just testing his physical strength? Is this kid crazy?
Sword Douluo praised from the side:
"Not bad, a good seedling."
"He can stick to his original intention in the face of temptation, and remain calm in the face of honor and disgrace. Although I don't know what his physical strength and mental power are like, his temperament alone is extremely rare."
Lin Xiao smiled.
He vaguely guessed something in his heart.
It seems that since he met Ning Rongrong last time, he has entered the field of vision of Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo. This Crimson Demon Azure Kite egg is just bait, and the purpose is to find out his details.
Then he can't accept this egg even more.
'It's only a matter of time before I enter the field of vision of these top figures, which doesn't matter, but a sword that is too sharp is easily broken, and everything must be kept hidden.'
Lin Xiao planned to go back and discuss it with Ye Qingxian.
The other party might have good ideas.
"Uncle Ning, it's getting late, we'll head back first, goodbye."
Lin Xiao, holding Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan, was about to slip away.
Ning Fengzhi hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth.
"Wait!"
"Take this Crimson Demon Azure Kite Egg. Remember not to absorb it rashly. Go back and ask the Ye Family Head for advice!"
Lin Xiao was about to decline.
But Ning Fengzhi stuffed the egg into his arms without explanation.
"Rongrong has been wanting to thank you."
"You are the same age, you can play together and make friends."
"I see that you are mature for your age, but Rongrong is a bit naughty. She may not listen to us adults. If you have time, please educate Rongrong a little..."
Lin Xiao listened to Ning Fengzhi's words.
His head was spinning.
Educating a brat? Isn't that just asking for trouble!
