Chapter 141 The Old Fox Ning Fengzhi Schemes Against Tang San!
"Uncle Bone, you mustn't do this! Tang San is, after all, the son of an old friend." Upon seeing this, Ning Fengzhi immediately stepped forward, reached out and pressed down on Bone Douluo's arm, and said in a deep voice.
Upon hearing this, Bone Douluo snorted coldly, finally releasing his grip and throwing Tang San heavily to the ground, his eyes still filled with hostility.
The next second, Ning Fengzhi bent down and helped Tang San up, his expression gentle and calm, saying, "Little San, don't misunderstand. We don't necessarily want to force you to hand over the method of making hidden weapons, it's just that your hidden weapons are indeed extraordinary. If they can be passed down, not only will our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School benefit, but all the soul masters in the world will benefit as well. This is a move that benefits generations to come."
"Hmph, benefiting future generations? He's so stubborn! In the end, he never intended to sell us the method of using hidden weapons! Feng Zhi, what are you still trying to persuade him for? If it were anyone else, I would have slapped him to death long ago." Bone Douluo suddenly interjected, his voice low and threatening.
Ning Fengzhi maintained his smile, as if he hadn't heard Bone Douluo's words, and patiently continued:
"Little San, if you can teach us how to make hidden weapons, we will certainly not treat you unfairly. Resources, money, intelligence... you can ask for anything you want."
As he finished speaking, Bone Douluo's face twisted into a grimace, and he coldly added, "If you don't agree, don't blame me for turning my back on you."
One person offered gentle advice, while the other used cold and harsh methods to coerce.
Ning Fengzhi and Bone Douluo played the roles of good cop and bad cop, leaving Tang San somewhat at a loss. Their aim was to force Tang San to reveal the method for manufacturing hidden weapons.
Even if it doesn't succeed in the end, there's still room for compromise. After all, it's Bone Douluo who's the bad guy, not Ning Fengzhi.
Even if Tang Hao came to him, Ning Fengzhi could explain it away as his failure to manage his subordinates properly.
As the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Ning Fengzhi was naturally not a kind person with only a gentle smile.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda has no offensive power, yet it can still maintain its position among the top three sects. It has never relied on brute force, but rather on human relationships, strategic planning, and political maneuvering.
At this moment, he still wore that refined smile, which was as relaxing as a spring breeze. But in his heart, he had already figured out every word and every look from Tang San. The brutal coercion of Bone Douluo was a tool that he had long since tacitly accepted.
He himself played the role of the sect leader who was considerate of his juniors.
With the good cop/bad cop dynamic shifting, if Tang San were to actually give in, all the benefits would naturally fall on Ning Fengzhi. Even if Tang San stubbornly refused to give in, he could still find other opportunities.
"No, that's impossible."
After a moment of silence, Tang San shook his head without hesitation and said:
"I won't sell the method for making hidden weapons, but I promised Rongrong that I could sell them to your clan. How about this, I can give you the forging process, but I must personally complete the final assembly."
Ning Fengzhi's eyes showed a thoughtful look. After pondering for a moment, he slowly said, "Alright, it's as you say, deal."
Upon hearing this, Bone Douluo frowned, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes. He immediately transmitted his voice through his soul power, saying, "Feng Zhi, why did you compromise so easily?"
Ning Fengzhi smiled slightly, his expression unchanged, as if he were completely unaffected. He replied through soul power, "Uncle Gu, don't worry. This kid is Tang Hao's son after all. We can't really torture him to death to force him to reveal the method of making hidden weapons. That would not only create a deadly feud but could also bring other troubles. Right now, the fact that he's released some information is already a step back."
"Don't worry, I already have a new plan in mind. I think it won't be long before he comes to beg my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School for help, and then..."
Upon hearing this, Bone Douluo's expression softened, and he temporarily suppressed his dissatisfaction.
Ning Fengzhi then turned to Tang San and said, "Little San, I've seen all the hidden weapons on Rongrong. I want five hundred sets, just like the equipment he has."
"I'll offer 10,000 Gold Soul Coins for each set. What do you think of the price?"
Tang San was slightly delighted. He had never seen so much money in all these years. Suppressing his excitement, he said calmly, "No problem."
As he spoke, he pulled out a stack of blueprints from the Twenty-Four Bridges Under the Moonlit Night, examined them carefully, and then handed them to Ning Fengzhi.
After taking the blueprints, Ning Fengzhi immediately placed a gleaming gold card into Tang San's hand and then said solemnly:
"Young lady, to show my sincerity and as an elder to show my care for the younger generation, haven't you always wanted to know about your father? I'll tell you now."
Immediately afterwards, he told Tang San about his father Tang Hao's identity.
"What did you say? How is that possible?"
"My father is actually a direct descendant of the Haotian Sect? But why has he ended up working as a blacksmith in a remote village?"
Upon hearing this news, Tang San's body trembled violently, and his face showed disbelief.
Ning Fengzhi gently shook his head, a hint of regret in his expression, and continued:
"Ms. Xiao, it seems that your father's sudden decision to leave the world of Soul Masters and disappear without a trace is related to the Spirit Hall."
"Oh? Uncle Ning, could you be more specific?" Upon hearing this, Tang San's expression changed several times, and he asked with slight anxiety.
Ning Fengzhi exchanged a glance with the Bone Douluo beside him, a glint of light flashing in his eyes, and said solemnly, "The information I have is that about ten years ago, the Spirit Hall seemed to be searching for something on the continent, but I don't know exactly what it was."
"And this item seems to be in your father's possession. At that time, your father should not have been in the Clear Sky Sect, but was traveling around the continent with your mother. Suddenly encountering such a thing, he must have been in a very difficult situation. No one knows exactly how he negotiated with the Spirit Hall."
"Not long after, news spread that your father had seriously injured the Pope of the Spirit Hall and killed one of the Spirit Hall's Title Douluos, and then disappeared without a trace."
Hearing this, Tang San couldn't help but ask, "What about my mother?"
Ning Fengzhi shook his head and said, "I haven't received any information about your mother. Perhaps she died in that great battle."
"What? My mother was killed by the Spirit Hall?"
Unconsciously, Tang San's fists gradually clenched.
Although he had no feelings for his mother in this life, his body was given to him by her in this life, and he carried the blood of her and his father.
The hatred for one's parents is irreconcilable; if it really was the Spirit Hall who did it.
So... everyone in the Spirit Hall has a way to die!
Thinking of this, Tang San's eyes uncontrollably revealed a chilling light.
"Spirit Hall... Spirit Hall, I, Tang San, will never let you get away with this!"
Seeing this, Ning Fengzhi gently raised his hand and whispered soothingly:
"Xiao San, don't get so agitated. This is just information from our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. For more details, you can go back and ask your teacher."
Upon hearing this, Tang San slowly suppressed his anger, took a few deep breaths, nodded, cupped his hands in a respectful gesture towards Ning Fengzhi, and said:
"Uncle Ning, thank you for telling me so much. If there's nothing else, I'll head back now and see if I can get any other information from the teacher."
Ning Fengzhi didn't linger for Tang San, nodding slightly to indicate that he could leave.
After Tang San completely disappeared from sight, Bone Douluo frowned deeply and asked in confusion, "Feng Zhi, this kid wouldn't even sell us the method for making hidden weapons, why did you tell him this?"
"Uncle Gu, do you think Tang San will remain unaware of his father's whereabouts forever? If I tell him now, I can also do him a favor."
A glint of light flashed in Ning Fengzhi's eyes, and he said in a cold voice.
"Moreover, I told him this news for a purpose as well. Think about it, given Tang San's personality, what would he do if he knew that his mother might have died at the hands of the Spirit Hall? He would inevitably clash with the Spirit Hall in the future."
"If the Spirit Hall finds out he's Tang Hao's son, what will they do? We can then exploit this to our advantage, and he might even come to me for help. Wouldn't that give us the method to make those hidden weapons?"
