Chapter 159.
"Brother Feng, you're too much! If their grandfather truly shows up, Xiao San can't handle it alone!" Xiao Wu immediately protested. "You have to assist him!"
"Don't worry, Xiao Wu. Tang San can manage it." Wang Feng assured with a smile. "Besides, his grandfather won't harm Xiao San. He's more of a grandfatherly type, at most, he'll give him a lesson." Wang Feng added confidently, "And if things get serious, just using the Clear Sky Hammer should be enough to make them kneel."
"That's not okay! I don't want him to get hurt again! No matter what, you, Brother Feng, you are a living embodiment of a crow's mouth..." Xiao Wu finally let her mischievous temperament shine through.
Tang San couldn't help but smile, recalling the times when he and Xiao Wu couldn't defeat brother Feng at Nuoding College, repeatedly getting defeated until Xiao Wu resorted to cheating and taunting. The memories were vivid, and Tang San felt a deep sense of nostalgia.
"Well, if their grandpa really shows up, I won't just stand by and watch." Wang Feng asserted, a glint of determination in his eyes. As Titan Tai Tan's, strength was inherent as he was a Soul Douluo and he naturally carried a sense of responsibility.
….
At Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Sect..
"Rongrong, aren't you upset?" In the hall, Ning Rongrong sat quietly on the sofa.
On the opposite side, a frail looking middle aged man occupied the seat, he was extremely tall and lanky. However, within the Seven Treasure Glzed Tile Pagoda Sect, no one dared to underestimate him.
If Wang Feng were present, he would easily discern the identity of this person – Bone Douluo, one of the two Titled Douluos of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Sect.
"Humph," Ning Rongrong took a sip of tea and grinned. "I can't be angry right now. I have to save my anger and unleash it when Dad returns, so I can be angry at that time. Otherwise, I'll end up getting angry twice."
The corner of Bone Douluo's mouth twitched. This little devil. He had assumed the young witch would lose her temper since she didn't find her father upon returning.
Unexpectedly, it turned out to be quite the opposite. Things were getting stranger.
"Hahaha, my baby girl is back? Come out, let Dad see, have you gained some weight?" A booming voice echoed from outside the gate.
Ning Rongrong hesitated for a moment, then turned her head back, looking annoyed.
Bone Douluo couldn't help but feel amused but refrained from laughing aloud. He silently conveyed, "Fengzhi, it's your turn now."
Ning Fengzhi strode in from outside the door, catching sight of Ning Rongrong's disgruntled expression. A smile spread across his face. "Come here, let Dad hold you."
"No!" Ning Rongrong snorted. "The last time Grandpa Sword came to visit me, but you did not come! Only Grandpa Sword misses me the most!" With that declaration, she dashed towards Sword Douluo and warmly embraced him.
Ning Fengzhi smiled wryly. As a Sect Master, he had numerous responsibilities, making it impossible for him to drop everything and visit her daughter across multiple cities. On the contrary, the two Title Douluos had relatively lighter duties, allowing them to visit the little troublemaker any time they wish so.
Seeing Ning Rongrong hugging him, Sword Douluo's mouth couldn't help but close in happiness, as he shot Bone Douluo a triumphant look.
"Ahem, Rongrong, I should have also visited you last time." Bone Douluo stood up and coughed, "Your, Grandpa sword, is really a bit sly. We agreed to have a duel that day, but when I showed up, he ran off to see you. Are you upset?"
Ning Fengzhi couldn't help but smile at the banter between the two lifelong friends who also happened to be grandfathers of his daughter.
"I understand, Grandpa Bone must miss me too," Ning Rongrong nodded in an exaggerated manner, adding in a teasing tone, "Unlike someone, my own father doesn't even spare me a glance."
Ning Fengzhi coughed awkwardly. "Rongrong, I came back with a gift for you. Last time, Grandpa Sword mentioned your progress at the academy. I didn't go out, but upon learning you were returning, I made sure to buy a gift for you."
Ning Rongrong and the Grandmasters visited Heaven Dou City, and Sword Douluo had checked in on her occasionally during her time at Blue Bull Academy.
"Really? I don't believe it!" Ning Rongrong skeptically glanced at her father. "Where's the gift?"
Ning Fengzhi promptly presented the items he had acquired at the auction from the soul guide. Upon inspecting them, Ning Rongrong covered her mouth and smiled, "Dad, I already have all these things! Tang San made a set of this for the six of us!"
Ning Fengzhi's gift consisted of hidden weapons that Tang San had auctioned, complete with a touch of innuendo.
Hearing this revelation, Ning Fengzhi was surprised and watched as Ning Rongrong excitedly displayed the hidden weapons she already possessed—Hidden Sleeve Arrow, Godly Zhuge Crossbow and many more.
"Your third brother made this?" Ning Fengzhi frowned slightly, recalling the encounter with the two youngsters at the auction.
So, the young boy was the Tang San that Rongrong mentioned?
"Of course. Third brother's hidden weapons are incredibly powerful! I had originally planned to come back early and share them with you Dad," Ning Rongrong nodded, her eyes sparkling. "Grandpa Sword, would you like to try these hidden weapons? They're even more potent than what Dad bought!"
Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo, teasingly, pushed each other forward. At Ning Rongrong's urging, Bone Douluo stepped forward.
"Grandpa Bone, give it a try. It serves you right for not visiting me, hehe!" Ning Rongrong led the way to the square outside.
Bone Douluo, known for his defense, wasn't afraid of these hidden weapons. However, Ning Rongrong's tactics were crafty and tricky, sometimes feigning disinterest and then launching a silent sleeve arrow or a loaded crossbow arrow from Godly Zhuge Crossbow. She danced around, attacking Bone Douluo with various sharp hidden weapons, making it challenging to defend against the unpredictable onslaught.
It could be said that these were genuinely elusive hidden weapons.
For the first time witnessing such attack methods, Bone Douluo found himself overwhelmed, though he managed to avoid injury. However, it left him perspiring.
"Rongrong, you have too many tricks up your sleeve, don't you?" Bone Douluo wiped away the cold sweat. Despite his skill in avoiding harm while these hidden weapons were in play, he couldn't help but be impressed.
"Not bad," Ning Rongrong approached with a shy turn. "Grandpa Bone, do you think Rongrong has become thinner?"
Bone Douluo nodded subconsciously, reflecting on how much thinner Rongrong had become compared to a year ago.
But in that instant, as Ning Rongrong turned around, she suddenly accelerated, and a cold light shot out from her waist!
Witnessing this, Bone Douluo was startled. This crafty little devil, this hidden weapon is truly suited for her! Giving me a scare like that when I'm off guard and old.
The cold light approached, the distance too close for comfort. The crossbow arrow shot almost an inch from Bone Douluo's eye sockets, as he managed to catch it with his hands.
However, as he gripped the arrow, it released a burst of poisonous mist directly.
"Cough, cough, cough..." The seemingly mild poisonous mist inflicted a considerable toll on Bone Douluo, bringing tears to his eyes.
"Hee hee, Grandpa Bone, you've been poisoned! But beware, it's a poisonous mist that can bring tears to the enemy. It's harmless, though. You might shed a few tears," proudly declared Ning Rongrong.
Sword Douluo and Ning Fengzhi exchanged surprised glances. They hadn't anticipated the subtlety of these hidden weapons.
"No, no, no!" Bone Douluo emerged from the toxic fog, tears streaming down his face, but his profound soul power trying to quickly restore him back to normal state but failing to do so as he conyinued coughing.
Ning Rongrong approached, hurriedly pulling out a towel from the Soul Guidance Device to wipe Bone Douluo's tears. "Grandpa Bone, I'm sorry. I went a bit overboard."
Witnessing this scene, Ning Fengzhi was even more astonished. Is this still my little witch? When did she become so cute and sensible? He coughed discreetly, realizing he had misjudged her intentions.
"Uncle Sword, has Rongrong changed so much?" Ning Fengzhi asked in a low voice.
"I first noticed the change when she visited Suotuo City and later the Star Dou Great Forest. The last time I saw her in Heaven Dou City, the transformation was even more pronounced," Sword Douluo replied with a smile. "Still don't believe me? Look at her now."
"Could it be the influence of that incident a year ago? By the way, the last time you were in Heaven Dou City, was that boy still in that college?" Ning Fengzhi continued, referring to an incident involving Wang Feng and Ning Rongrong.
"He's quite unusual. When I visited, I didn't see him around. Heard he was in seclusion for cultivation." Sword Douluo remarked, recalling the young man who had impressed him a year ago by taking his three srtikes in the Star Dou Great Forest.
As Ning Rongrong finished wiping Bone Douluo's tears, a blush swept across her face, and she spoke with increased enthusiasm, "Grandpa Bone, Grandpa Sword, Dad. I'm back with more important news this time!"
Ning Fengzhi approached, curiosity in his eyes. "My dear girl, what important news do you have?"
Sword Douluo, also intrigued, noticed Bone Douluo's slightly reddened eyes. All attention was on Ning Rongrong. Why would this little witch be so excited?
"Hehe..." Excitement lit up Ning Rongrong's expression. "I'm going to reveal my martial soul!"
"What's so special about your martial soul? Dad still doesn't get it," Ning Fengzhi chuckled.
Abruptly, Ning Fengzhi's voice halted. Three pairs of eyes widened simultaneously.
