Ning Rongrong looked at Li Qing pitifully, with a faint sparkle of tears in her eyes. Her helpless appearance made people feel sympathetic, and it was clear she was a bit flustered.
"Don't worry, it's fine."
Li Qing got up, walked over, and gently stroked her head to comfort her.
"Really?"
Ning Rongrong looked up at him, tears unconsciously sliding down from the corners of her eyes.
"Believe me."
Li Qing smiled, his tone very calm, as if this matter was not a big deal to him. The strong confidence he exuded made people feel inexplicably at ease.
"Okay."
Ning Rongrong wiped her tears and nodded heavily.
"Wait for me."
After speaking, Li Qing walked out of the classroom and found Dugu Bo.
Li Qing told him the news that Tang Hao had been rescued by two mysterious Title Douluo, and that the Haotian Sect had secretly cultivated several Title Douluo.
The purpose was naturally for him to inform Bone Douluo, and then relay the message back to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
Since Tang Hao couldn't hold on, let's drag the Haotian Sect into it. Anyway, the Spirit Hall can't be left idle, otherwise, I'm afraid it would be my turn to suffer.
"Where did you get this intelligence?"
Dugu Bo was startled upon hearing that the Haotian Sect had secretly cultivated several Title Douluo. This news would likely not be believed by anyone if it were spread.
Title Douluo, are they something that can be cultivated just like that?
Li Qing said, "Where the intelligence comes from isn't important, even its truth isn't important. What's important is to make them step forward and not give the Spirit Hall an opportunity to make trouble."
"Relying solely on the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and you, senior, cannot withstand the wrath of the Spirit Hall."
"Even if the Haotian Sect only has two Title Douluo, the cost for the Spirit Hall to use this as an excuse to start a war will be much higher, and the possibility will naturally decrease accordingly."
Dugu Bo asked, "Are you planning to form an alliance, or...?"
Li Qing smiled and said, "If they are willing to hand over Tang Hao to quell the Spirit Hall's anger, an alliance is not out of the question. But if they want to confront the Spirit Hall head-on, then let them."
He didn't care about Tang Hao's life or death. All he wanted was a relatively peaceful environment to grow up in.
Not to mention the Haotian Sect definitely doesn't have that many Title Douluo right now, even if they already had seven Title Douluo, they still wouldn't stand a chance against the Spirit Hall.
For the Spirit Hall, it's just a matter of whether they are willing to pay the price.
Furthermore, although he didn't know the reason that prompted the Haotian Sect to appear and save Tang Hao, he knew that there were definitely many people within the Haotian Sect who were unwilling to go to war with the Spirit Hall for Tang Hao.
If they are pulled into the spotlight, they will definitely choose to abandon Tang Hao in the end.
As for how to bring them into the spotlight without offending the Haotian Sect, Li Qing believed that Ning Fengzhi would definitely be able to come up with a comprehensive plan.
"Alright, I understand." Dugu Bo said no more and left directly.
"Brother Li Qing."
Seeing Li Qing return, Ning Rongrong hurriedly got up and went to meet him.
Li Qing dotingly rubbed her head: "Don't worry, there won't be any problems. If you're really worried, I'll accompany you back to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."
"Rongrong, don't worry. Your Brother Li Qing is so clever. If he says there's no problem, there's definitely no problem."
Dugu Yan also came closer.
Li Qing gave her a displeased look: "If you don't know how to praise people, there's no need to force it."
"Hmph!"
Dugu Yan let out a proud and arrogant snort.
Ye Lingling then said, "If it's really not okay, just take a leave of absence and go back. We haven't been to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School yet, so it's a good opportunity to visit."
"Okay."
Although Ning Rongrong trusted Li Qing greatly, this matter was clearly not a question of trust or not. Worry was unavoidable, and going back would make her feel a little more at ease.
...
Within the Heaven Dou Empire, in an unnamed desolate mountain.
Two mysterious figures completely shrouded in black robes put down the heavily injured Tang Hao. One of them couldn't help but let out a cold snort when looking at him.
The other one removed his hood and mask.
"Big Brother!"
Although Tang Hao had already guessed their identities when he felt the familiar aura on them, when he truly saw the face he hadn't seen for a long time...
His heart was filled with mixed feelings.
He had originally sought revenge for A Yin with the determination to die, never thinking that someone would come to save him, and even less thinking of dragging the sect into trouble because of his own affairs.
Because the sect had already paid a huge price due to A Yin's matter back then.
"Sigh!"
Looking at his disheveled younger brother, Tang Xiao couldn't help but sigh.
When Tang Hao appeared in Heaven Dou City back then, Yue Hua immediately sent the news back to the sect. He didn't know why his brother, who had been missing for many years, would suddenly show up.
And as soon as he appeared, he directly confronted the Spirit Hall.
As the sect master, he should have prioritized the overall situation and ignored him, but since he was also a brother, how could he truly remain indifferent?
His idea of saving Tang Hao met with great resistance within the sect.
Because the sect had already paid a huge price for him back then, many people were dissatisfied with him, and even harbored resentment. How could they agree to take action for him again?
Tang Xiao finally threatened to abdicate as sect master before they relented.
Despite this, the elders also made a request, which was that they couldn't use their Martial Soul, because once they used their Martial Soul, there would be no room for compromise.
Fortunately, the elder worship in the Spirit Hall finally chickened out, otherwise, he would have had no choice but to abandon his own brother.
As for why two Title Douluo were sent, one reason was that the Haotian Sect currently only had two, and the second was that they could conveniently shift the blame to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
Tang Xiao asked, "Isn't it better to hide properly? Why jump out and seek death?"
Tang Hao lowered his head and said nothing.
"Sigh!"
Tang Xiao couldn't help but sigh again: "There won won't be a next time. Whether you live or die, you're on your own."
"Big Brother, you shouldn't have come to save me."
Hearing Tang Hao's words, the person who had not removed his hood and mask the entire time immediately couldn't hold back.
"Damn, are you saying we were wrong to save you?"
Tang Hao ignored him, not even giving him another look, and continued speaking to Tang Xiao: "Big Brother, I know that your coming to save me must have faced a lot of opposition."
"I also know that at this time, I should find a place to hide, so that I don't let down your kind intentions."
"But... but I really can't do it. The motivation to live is gone. All that's left in my heart is hatred. I won't hesitate even if I die in this process."
The black-robed figure pointed at Tang Xiao and angrily rebuked, "Tang Xiao, open your eyes and take a good look."
"This is the brother you saved even at the risk of the sect's survival. After saving him, he still wants to go and seek death. Tell me, what's the point of saving him?"
"Do you know what kind of dangerous situation the sect might fall into because of this matter?"
