Although Dugu Bo was troublesome, he at least had a granddaughter, Dugu Yan, who was his weakness.
If Dugu Bo were to block their gates, relying on the foundation of their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, they could still manage to deal with him to some extent.
However, based on what they currently knew, this Elf Douluo had no apparent weaknesses.
If the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School were to push this Elf Douluo to his limits, and if he, shamelessly, chose to block their gates like Dugu Bo, even if it were just for a year or two, their school might not be destroyed, but it would certainly suffer significant damage.
At this moment, just as Ning Fengzhi was about to say something, a sudden inspiration flashed through his mind, and a piece of information quickly surfaced.
Crown Prince "Xue Qinghe" and Elf Douluo had met by chance during a tea conversation.
Later, due to some unexpected events, the two had visited a brothel together.
It was only after this that Crown Prince "Xue Qinghe" brought Elf Douluo back to the Heaven Dou City.
Did he enjoy strolling and listening to music?
Did he like tea and fine food?
Did he enjoy visiting brothels?
Thinking of these, Ning Fengzhi suddenly felt enlightened.
Wasn't this a great opportunity to ease the tension?
With this in mind, Ning Fengzhi slowly spoke to Ning Caichen.
"Caichen, based on the intelligence our sect has gathered, His Excellency Elf enjoys strolling, listening to music, drinking tea, and savoring fine food. You should personally arrange these and deliver them to him. Also, I recall that a cat girl recently arrived at the auction house. You should arrange for her as well."
Perhaps out of consideration for Yunxiao's reputation, Ning Fengzhi did not mention his fondness for visiting brothels.
"A... cat girl?"
Hearing Ning Fengzhi's instructions, Ning Caichen was momentarily stunned.
As if remembering something, Ning Caichen's expression turned uneasy as he spoke.
"Feng... Fengzhi, that... that cat girl... she..."
Of course, Ning Caichen knew about the cat girl Ning Fengzhi mentioned.
The problem was that the cat girl had just been sent to the auction house and had not yet undergone the "special training" of the auction house. Currently, the cat girl was still wild and had a very aggressive temperament.
If they were to gift her to His Excellency Elf, and if the cat girl were to lose control and cause some trouble...
Thinking of these possibilities, Ning Caichen glanced at Chen Xin, who was standing before him.
He stammered and quickly signaled Ning Fengzhi with his eyes.
Ning Caichen had some understanding of the temperament of their sect's Grand Elder, Chen Xin.
Sword Douluo Chen Xin, apart from his love for practicing swordsmanship, disliked the dirty tactics often used among the nobility.
Chen Xin, who was neither blind nor foolish, instantly understood the underlying implications of these arrangements.
"Hmph, a disgusting act!"
With a cold snort, Chen Xin left the soft and comfortable sofa in the hall and walked straight to the window of the private room.
He stood with his hands behind his back, facing away from Ning Fengzhi and Ning Caichen.
"Sword Uncle..."
Seeing this, Ning Fengzhi could only smile wryly.
Then, Ning Fengzhi waved his hand at Ning Caichen, signaling him to go and make the arrangements.
As for the act of buying and selling cat girls, Ning Fengzhi naturally looked down upon such immoral dealings.
However, in the law of the jungle that is the Douluo Continent, the forces of various factions are intricately intertwined, and some dark transactions persist despite repeated prohibitions.
Although he is the sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, there are many times when he has no choice but to weigh the pros and cons.
After all, the act of trading catgirls.
That involves the intricate web of interests among countless nobles across the entire Douluo Continent.
Even though their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is one of the Upper Three Sects of the Douluo Continent.
They absolutely cannot, with their own strength, overturn this deeply rooted network of interests.
Once they attempt to break this chain of interests.
It would mean that their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is challenging the dark order that has been established on the Douluo Continent for many years.
At that time, their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School would not only face fierce backlash from various forces.
But also encounter joint resistance from numerous greedy and unscrupulous nobles.
Although their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is strong, it would be difficult to withstand such a situation.
It might even lead to innocent sect disciples suffering unforeseen disasters.
Therefore, Ning Fengzhi had no choice but to be extremely cautious.
Meanwhile, under the familiar guidance of "Xue Qinghe," Yunxiao arrived at a very luxurious private room.
Along the way, Yunxiao saw many masked nobles.
As well as Soul Masters from various family sects and factions, who were groping their "female companions" beside them.
And the identities of these "female companions" naturally could not be compared to the noble-born hostesses outside the door.
These "female companions" were not only dressed extremely provocatively.
But their every move was filled with a strong sense of seductive desire.
And these "female companions" were undoubtedly the children of truly impoverished families.
They were "female companions" who had undergone "special training" at the Tiandou Auction House.
Although they still wore smiles on their faces, their eyes were hollow and lost.
This situation was entirely one where the body was still alive.
But the heart and soul had long since died, leaving only a body to be manipulated at will.
If a customer had the desire, they only needed to spend some Gold Soul Coins to "redeem" them.
At that time, they would be reduced to mere playthings.
After Ning Caichen delivered the precious tea and some delicacies to the private room and left.
Qian Renxue decisively dispelled the disguise ability of the Angel Head Soul Bone, thus restoring her female form.
Sitting on the soft and comfortable sofa in the hall, she glanced at Yunxiao's unnatural expression before slowly speaking.
"Yunxiao, there are some things you might not be used to yet."
"But if you don't like it, I can also ask my grandfather to step in and help."
Understanding that Yunxiao was uncomfortable with the actions involved in these dark interests, which was why he felt displeased.
Qian Renxue didn't mind troubling her grandfather, Qian Daoliu, for this.
Hearing Qian Renxue's suggestion, Yunxiao thought for a moment before slowly shaking his head.
"Xiao Xue, there's no need to trouble Grandfather with this."
"These immoral dark interest transactions are not something the Spirit Hall can handle just because it wants to."
"The forces behind this network of interests are deeply intertwined."
"With the slightest misstep, the Spirit Hall could fall into an abyss of ruin."
"Unless we can become Deities!"
"Otherwise, facing the united backlash of countless nobles, family clans, and sect forces across the entire Douluo Continent would be enough to cause the Spirit Hall to crumble in this storm."
Relying on the scheming higher-ups of the Spirit Hall to solve such a "hot potato" of a problem was futile.
It would be better to hope that Qian Renxue and I could ascend to godhood in the future.
If that didn't work, it would still be better to hope that after the two new clan members, Little Fire and Little Ice, awakened, I could find a way to bring about some turning point.
After all, I had a Small World as my foundation.
Even if I had to stand against the entire Douluo Continent, I would not fear it in the slightest.
