Chapter 57 Reunion after a long absence
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye it was the day when the Tang Sect held a birthday celebration for Tang San.
South of Tiandou City.
The former residence of the Li clan, under the transformation of the Yu clan, has now become the residence of the Tang clan.
In the early morning, under a plaque with the words "Tangmen" engraved on it, the door opened.
Luxurious carriages stopped in front of the compound in an endless stream, and the dignitaries of Tiandou City stepped out of the carriages.
The dignitaries usually look up but never look down at each other. They are very familiar with each other and nod to each other.
Before entering the gate, the servant next to the dignitary took out the invitation. After verifying his identity, he was invited in by the gatekeeper disciple.
At this time, two carriages drove side by side on the street and arrived at Tangmen one after another.
The carriage on the left has a white swan pattern carved in white marble, and the carriage on the right has a seven-story pagoda carved in colored glaze.
Almost at the same time, three people got off each of the two carriages.
"Sect Master Ning (teacher), His Majesty Bone Douluo, Master Ning Shao."
"His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince."
Among the six people, except for an unusually tall and skinny old man, the other five looked at each other and greeted each other politely.
"Fengzhi originally thought that the emperor only sent the crown prince and the fourth prince to attend the banquet, but he did not expect that Prince Xuexing would also be willing to condescend to attend the banquet."
Ning Fengzhi stood between Gu Rong and Ning Rongrong, with a warm and friendly smile on her face.
Opposite, Prince Xue Xing also stood between Xue Qinghe and Xue Beng.
However, the same position also hides a mystery.
Ning Rongrong stood on the left side of Ning Fengzhi, and Bone Douluo Gu Rong stood on the right side of Ning Fengzhi.
As for the three members of the royal family, the fourth prince Xue Beng stood on the left side of Prince Xue Xing, and the prince Xue Qinghe stood on the right side of Prince Xue Xing.
Since ancient times, the left has been respected.
As the young sect leader of the Qibao Glazed Sect, Ning Rongrong was deeply loved by Gu Rong, so it made sense both emotionally and rationally for Ning Rongrong to stand on the noble left side.
But for the royal family, the position has a lot of meaning.
As the younger brother of Emperor Xue Ye, Prince Xue Xing naturally had no problem standing in the middle.
But as the prince, Xue Qinghe stood on the right side of Prince Xue Xing, while the fourth prince Xue Beng stood on the more noble left side.
The sharp-sighted Ning Fengzhi could spot the positioning problem of the three members of the royal family at a glance.
As the teacher of Prince Xue Qinghe, although Ning Fengzhi would not fall out with Prince Xue Xing over such a trivial matter, it was just a matter of course to make some sarcastic remarks.
Faced with Ning Fengzhi's words, Prince Xuexing responded calmly:
"Sect Master Ning is joking. I am here only because my nephew is naughty by nature. I am afraid that he will do something that will damage the majesty of the royal family during this celebration."
"We followed here together to see what the Tang Sect's master is famous for."
"Sect Master Ning, on the other hand, wouldn't you condescend to bring your young sect master to attend the birthday celebration of a nine-year-old child?"
After hearing this, Ning Fengzhi was unmoved, with the gentle smile on his face still, and said:
"Tangmen is an important partner of our Qibao Glazed Sect, and we have frequent business contacts."
"Now, the head of the Tang Sect is holding a grand celebration for the first time. Since Feng Zhi has been invited, he will naturally not refuse to give this honor."
While they were talking, the carriage Lin Rong was riding in also arrived here.
"Huh?" Gu Rong, who had been silent all this time, suddenly looked aside and stared at Lin Rong and the old housekeeper Yu Yuan who got off the carriage with some surprise.
To be precise, he was only staring at the old housekeeper behind Lin Rong.
Gu Rong looked at the figure of the old housekeeper Yu Yuan, feeling a little surprised:
"Is it my imagination? I actually detected a dangerous aura from a Contra."
Ning Fengzhi, who was thoughtful, noticed the subtle change in Gu Rong's expression, and calmly looked at the master and servant who came over.
"If you guys don't go in, is there anything new here?"
Lin Rong pretended to be like an eight-year-old child and asked curiously:
"I wonder if you can come and listen to me?"
Among the six, Ning Fengzhi was the first to speak:
"Duke Lin, I have heard about you from my little girl for a long time. When I see you today, you are indeed a great man of your generation."
"Rongrong, why don't you say hello to Duke Lin."
Ning Rongrong, who was standing aside, looked at Lin Rong after hearing his father's words.
It happened that Lin Rong also looked at Ning Rongrong because of Ning Fengzhi's words.
The two looked at each other.
"This elite education is different!" Looking at Ning Rongrong who seemed to have changed before her, Lin Rong couldn't help but thought to herself:
"This temperament, this demeanor, if this face hadn't changed, I wouldn't have believed it was Ning Rongrong."
They hadn't seen each other for more than two years, but Ning Rongrong still recognized Lin Rong at a glance. It was because of Lin Rong's words that she became what she is now.
At first, Ning Rongrong resented Lin Rong.
But as time goes by, Ning Rongrong, who has received a good education, has understood what responsibility is.
The change in her own understanding also made Ning Rongrong understand that she carried the hope of the entire sect.
Therefore, Ning Rongrong will no longer resent Lin Rong, but after meeting again after two years, she still has some grudges in her heart.
However, the education she received over the years taught Ning Rongrong how to keep her joy to herself, and Ning Rongrong did not reveal the grudges in her heart.
"Hello, Duke Lin, long time no see."
Ning Rongrong smiled elegantly and politely and said hello softly.
"Hello, Master Ning, long time no see."
Lin Rong also greeted politely, and then secretly checked the soul power cultivation of the people present.
In terms of life perception, the order of the soul power of these six people from high to low is:
Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!
Bone Rong, the peak of the ninety-fifth level of soul power.
Ning Fengzhi, peak soul power level seventy-nine.
Xuexing, soul power level fifty-five.
Xue Qinghe (Qian Renxue) has fifty-level soul power.
Ning Rongrong, soul power level 36.
Xue Beng, soul power level 22.
"Ning Rongrong's soul power is actually level 36?" Lin Rong was a little surprised after investigating.
"So that's it. There are energy fluctuations from two soul bones in the body, a trunk bone that is more than 50,000 years old, and a skull that is more than 60,000 years old, and they are both gem-type soul bones."
"Ning Fengzhi really spent a lot of money!"
"A thirty-sixth-level auxiliary soul master who is eight years and nine months old. This is the monster that Ning Fengzhi created using two top-quality soul bones that are over 50,000 years old."
"Fortunately, I am younger than Ning Rongrong in age, and my soul power is higher than Ning Rongrong."
"Otherwise, if your soul power is surpassed by a native of the same age, it will be a disgrace to the time traveler."
Lin Rong is now eight years and six months old, with a soul power level thirty-seven, which is only one level higher than Ning Rongrong.
The soul power levels of the remaining five people did not surprise Lin Rong.
Because of Gu Rong's talent, his soul power has been stuck at the peak of level ninety-five, unable to make any progress.
Ning Fengzhi was limited by his martial soul. His soul power was stuck at the peak of level seventy-nine, unable to take another step forward.
Qian Renxue, in the original work, was a soul saint who was about thirty years old and had a soul power in his early seventies; now it is normal for his soul power to be only over fifty levels.
Xuexing is a prince of a country. Although the quality of the martial soul swan inherited from the Tiandou royal family is not high, it is not far behind. The soul power cultivation level is at level fifty-five, which is normal.
Xue Beng, hiding his clumsiness under the guidance of Xue Xing, deliberately did not practice hard, and his level 22 soul power cultivation was normal.
"Duke Lin, we haven't seen each other for a long time."
Xue Qinghe suddenly said hello to Lin Rong, and the smile on his face made people feel as comfortable as a spring breeze.
"That's right, that's right!" Just when Lin Rong was about to return the favor, Xue Beng on the side seemed to interject casually:
"Duke Lin, you never come to any social banquet held in Tiandou City."
"This is the first time for this prince to see you in person."
"Let me tell you, I know all the fun places in Tiandou City today. Can I take you to visit some other time?"
"..." Xue Beng's familiar words immediately silenced Lin Rongqian.
What a superb acting skill. If Lin Rong hadn't read the original work and knew that Xue Beng was just pretending to be like this, he would have been deceived by him.
When Xue Qinghe saw Xue Beng's interruption, his eyebrows furrowed slightly. He was about to say something, but Prince Xue Xing said before him:
"Haha! Don't blame Duke Lin!"
Xuexing stepped forward and said:
"My nephew is a well-known playboy. My words just now were very offensive. Please forgive me."
Seeing this situation, Lin Rong could tell that Xue Xing and Xue Beng just didn't want him to talk to Xue Qinghe.
As a hereditary duke, the Lin family held a high position in Tiandou, and Xue Xing did not want Lin Rong to side with Xue Qinghe.
Therefore, he and his uncle and nephew Xue Beng made a tacit agreement to interrupt even the polite greeting between Lin Rong and Xue Qinghe with what happened just now.
