ALL NOVEL Chapter 59: Begger
A threat, a blatant threat!
Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin's expressions were not good, but they couldn't make a decision immediately.
After all, Tang Hao's reputation was well-known; he was the Clear Sky Douluo and couldn't be easily offended.
The Clear Sky Sect might have expelled Tang Hao, but who didn't know that it was just for show?
Tang Hao was this generation's Clear Sky Douluo. How could he truly be expelled from the Clear Sky Sect?
The Clear Sky Sect, the number one sect in the world!
The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, the second sect in the world!
Second place, after all, is just second place!
Besides, when Tang Hao had just broken through to the Title Douluo level, he fought three opponents at once and left with a record of one death and two severe injuries.
One of them died less than a month after returning to the Spirit Hall.
So, it was actually two deaths and one severe injury!
The one who died after a month was the previous Pope, Qian Xunji!
At that time, Qian Xunji was already level ninety-five…
Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin fell silent. With their combined strength, they were not really afraid of Tang Hao, but they were concerned about the consequences of attacking him.
Attacking Tang Hao would be equivalent to tearing their relationship with the Haotian Sect apart...
Moreover, Tang Hao was not an easy opponent.
His record was clear...
"Clear Sky Douluo, a hundred-thousand-year transformed soul beast, do you think a single word from you can make us retreat?"
After a while, Ning Fengzhi finally spoke.
His meaning was simple: they could retreat, but Tang Hao had to show some sincerity and give them a way out.
If everyone can save face, everyone benefits!
A single word from Tang Hao and they would retreat today, but if they did, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect would lose face!
Both sects had dual Douluos. Though the Clear Sky Sect was the number one, was it still the same Clear Sky Sect as before?
Fortunately, Ning Fengzhi didn't know that the Clear Sky Sect had produced five more Title Douluos over the years; otherwise, he might have agreed to Tang Hao's demand immediately, disregarding any sense of face.
Ning Fengzhi's words were understood by Tang Hao, who realized they were inclined to retreat but needed a way out.
"My son Tang San is a classmate of your daughter. They've been classmates since Suotuo City."
"They've experienced life and death together and might become very good teammates in the future."
At this point, Tang Hao stopped speaking. His words carried two meanings.
First, to establish a connection.
My son and your daughter are classmates and have a good relationship.
Secondly, to remind Ning Fengzhi that he knew Ning Rongrong's identity!
If you dare to act, you'll face the consequences!
In essence, it was still a threat.
Sure enough, Chen Xin and Ning Fengzhi's faces changed again. This Tang Hao, this Tang Hao actually used such underhanded tactics!
Good heavens!
No wonder he was the Clear Sky Douluo.
Wait, that boy is Tang Hao's son?
They've been classmates with Rongrong since Suotuo City?
Suddenly, Chen Xin and Ning Fengzhi's eyes lit up with realization!
They understood everything.
If that was the case, then everything made sense.
At the gates of Heaven Dou City, Zhongli had already recognized the rabbit's identity and delivered the "compensation," which was actually from this Clear Sky Douluo!
Realizing this, Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin exchanged glances, feeling somewhat speechless.
Their combined influence was less significant than Zhongli's?
No, rather, in Tang Hao's eyes, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect was less significant than Zhongli!
Otherwise, why would Tang Hao give Zhongli "compensation" but threaten them...
On second thought, it made sense.
Zhongli was alone, without a faction or weaknesses. Even if someone wanted to threaten him, there was no leverage.
Threaten who, exactly?
Threaten Zhongli himself?
Don't be ridiculous. Zhongli was at least a level ninety-seven powerhouse. Threaten him?
He could easily obliterate your entire faction with a single move!
After a while, just as Ning Fengzhi was about to say something, both Chen Xin and Tang Hao frowned.
Someone was coming?
"Hey, Sect Master Ning, Grandpa Chen Xin, how are you?"
Paimon waved at Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin, shouting.
Three people were with her, but "Xue Qinghe" had other matters and didn't accompany them out of the city.
"Uh..."
The two were stunned. Why was Zhongli here?
"Hello, Paimon."
"What brings you all here?"
Ning Fengzhi asked instinctively.
"Chi Yu is stuck at level ten and can't break through, so we're heading to the Sunset Forest to get her a spirit ring!"
Paimon replied bluntly, showing her straightforward nature.
If Qian Renxue hadn't briefed her beforehand, she wouldn't have addressed Qian Renxue as "Qinghe."
"At leisure, a stroll through the forest is also nice."
Zhongli stroked his chin, looking somewhat surprised at Tang Hao, Ning Fengzhi, and Chen Xin.
They didn't end up fighting?
It seems Ning Fengzhi exercised considerable restraint.
Well, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect's main lineage is auxiliary-type, after all.
They can't afford to have a bad temper.
"Hey, who's this beggar uncle?"
"???"
Beggar uncle?
Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin wanted to laugh but held it in. Probably only this little fellow dared to call Tang Hao a beggar.
Tang Hao frowned, looking at Paimon with some helplessness. He had observed this little fellow, noting she was completely guileless.
But her honesty was a bit too much for him!
"One, two, three…"
"Seven, eight, nine…"
"Oh my, beggar uncle, you... you're actually a Title Douluo!"
Having just learned about spirit master titles and corresponding spirit rings, Paimon counted Tang Hao's spirit rings and was stunned.
This scruffy-looking uncle was one of the top existences on the Douluo Continent!
"My name is Tang Hao!"
"Not a beggar!"
Tang Hao said, his face dark.
"If you're not a beggar, then why do you dress like one?"
"Is it... a hobby?"
What kind of hobby!
Did he not have time to tidy up?
Couldn't he just like being disheveled?
Tang Hao decided that once this matter with Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin was over, he'd tidy himself up.
This little fellow was so sincere yet so frustrating!
It was truly frustrating!
"Little Paimon, this Tang Hao is the Clear Sky Douluo of the Clear Sky Sect, the number one sect in the world!"
Ning Fengzhi explained.
"Clear Sky Sect?"
"What's that?"
Paimon really didn't know about the number one sect in the world!
Firstly, the Clear Sky Sect had been in seclusion for over ten years, and almost no one talked about it on the Douluo Continent.
Secondly, she wasn't a local, so how could she know about the Clear Sky Sect?
Zhongli, never took her to places where she could learn about these things.
In Heaven Dou City, she only knew about the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect because Ning Fengzhi had visited, and she and Zhongli ate at the Seven Treasures Hotel every day.
Clear Sky Sect? She had no idea.
"Uh…"
Tang Hao was stunned, his eyes showing a hint of melancholy.
If not for him, the mighty Clear Sky Sect wouldn't be so unknown.
"The Clear Sky Sect is the most powerful sect in the world, but for certain reasons, it's temporarily in seclusion."
