Chapter 248: Considering Himself a Guest of Honor, Truly Tang San
"Oh?"
Ning Fengzhi watched their reactions, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
He looked at the Powder Shooting Shadow in his hand and asked with a smile.
"What? You know the creator of these Hidden Weapons?"
"Know him? More than just know him!"
Ning Rongrong huffed and said crossly.
"Father, this thing was made by someone named Tang San, a member of Shrek Academy."
"That guy is gloomy and full of bad intentions; he just makes these sinister Hidden Weapons. Back then, he teamed up with others to drive Brother Qingmo away."
Ning Fengzhi nodded thoughtfully upon hearing this.
He looked at the Powder Shooting Shadow in his hand, the admiration in his eyes fading slightly.
He hadn’t expected that the person capable of making such an exquisite hidden weapon would have such an image in Rongrong’s mouth.
Regarding the conflict between Tang San and Lin Qingmo, he also knew a bit from Bone Douluo’s investigation.
It was certain that the character of Tang San and his teacher, ’GrandmasterYu Xiaogang,’ was problematic.
Because he knew about it, combined with Ning Rongrong’s display of disgust for Tang San, Ning Fengzhi also felt a sense of loathing towards him.
His interest in the Powder Shooting Shadow also faded significantly.
...
The auction soon ended.
People began to disperse.
Tang San’s footsteps stopped at the corner of the corridor, his fingertips rubbing the iron mask on his face.
His gaze fell on a group of people walking slowly ahead.
The man in white leading them had an elegant bearing, lightly waving a folding fan in his hand; it was the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School’s Sect Master, Ning Fengzhi.
This was the Opportunity he had waited for throughout the entire auction.
The Powder Shooting Shadow had just been auctioned for a thousand gold coins, which was enough to prove the value of this hidden weapon.
As the continent’s number one support Sect, the Disciples under the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School were all support systemSpirit Masters.
Their spirit power amplification was unmatched on the continent, but their own bodies were weak, with no ability to protect themselves in close combat.
Once an assassin bypassed the front battlefield and got close, they wouldn’t even have room to fight back.
And his Tang Clan Hidden Weapon didn’t require spirit power to activate, making them very suitable for solving this pain point.
In his view, this was a guaranteed profitable deal.
He was an Opportunity delivered to the door; Ning Fengzhi should have no reason to refuse.
Tang San straightened his robes, stepped forward quickly, and blocked the path of Ning Fengzhi’s group.
Ning Fengzhi’s footsteps stopped, his folding fan closed, and his gaze fell on him.
His tone was gentle and calm, carrying the composure of someone long in a high position: "Little friend, you’ve blocked the way. May I ask what advice you have?"
Tang San nodded slightly, his tone neither humble nor arrogant: "School Master Ning, I have long heard of your great name."
"I am the Tang Sect’s Sect Leader. The Powder Shooting Shadow that the Sect Master just bid for in the auction house is precisely from my Tang Sect."
As soon as these words were spoken, he could clearly sense a hint of surprise flash in Ning Fengzhi’s eyes.
Even the Sword Douluo beside Ning Fengzhi raised his eyelids, casting a scrutinizing gaze.
This reaction was completely within his expectations.
After all, anyone would be curious about a Sect that could produce such exquisite Hidden Weapons yet had remained silent until now.
Ning Fengzhi’s tone became a bit more serious: "Oh? So that hidden weapon came from your hand, little friend."
"I see that the hidden weapon is exquisitely designed and its structure is unique. May I ask what kind of organization the Tang Sect is, and how it developed such ingenious weapons?"
"I wonder why you’ve blocked me today, little friend?"
"Naturally, it is for cooperation."
Tang San’s tone was frank, as if he held the winning hand: "School Master Ning should be aware that the support Spirit Masters of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School lack self-defense Sharp Weapons the most."
"And my Tang Clan Hidden Weapon, without the need for deep spirit power to activate, is extremely well-concealed."
"Even an ordinary person, holding the Powder Shooting Shadow, can pose a threat to an assassin of the Spirit Elder or even Spirit Ancestor level."
"I have come today to discuss a long-term cooperation with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."
"The Tang Sect will exclusively provide Hidden Weapons for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and build a guard team for your noble Sect."
When he said this, he was full of confidence.
In his view, these words had already laid all the benefits on the table.
A shrewd Sect Master like Ning Fengzhi couldn’t possibly fail to see the immense value in this.
He even started simulating the subsequent negotiations in his mind.
Ning Fengzhi might take the initiative to increase the price, or even offer extremely high stakes, just to reach an exclusive cooperation with the Tang Sect.
After all, Tang Sect’s Hidden Weapons were invincible in Tang San’s eyes!
But Tang San hadn’t noticed at all that several figures also wearing masks were leaning against the corridor pillars a few steps behind Ning Fengzhi.
Lin Qingmo and the others took in the whole scene.
Lin Qingmo leaned against a gilded pillar, carelessly twirling a jade button with his fingertips.
The face under the mask carried a hint of a playful smile.
Beside him, Ning Rongrong’s shoulders were shaking uncontrollably as she held back her laughter.
Her hand was pressed tightly over her mouth, for fear of laughing out loud.
Zhu Zhuqing had her arms crossed, her figure tall and straight, her cold gaze falling on Tang San with undisguised contempt.
And Xiao Wu stood by Lin Qingmo’s side, her slender fingers clutching Lin Qingmo’s sleeve.
When she looked at Tang San’s back, her eyes were ice-cold.
They had recognized this figure from the moment Tang San blocked the path.
After all, they had spent a considerable amount of time together at Shrek Academy.
Even wearing a mask, just his walking posture and tone of voice were enough for them to recognize who this person was.
Only Tang San himself was immersed in the high spirits of "about to secure the cooperation of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."
He didn’t notice these people behind him at all, despite being so familiar with them.
Ning Fengzhi was clearly interested in Tang San’s proposal, lightly tapping his palm with his folding fan.
"Your proposal, little friend, is indeed very interesting."
"I have also seen your hidden weapon with my own eyes; it is indeed a rare weapon. If it can be produced in batches, it could indeed equip a surprise force."
"I just wonder, what form of cooperation do you desire, little friend?"
Tang San was delighted, thinking to himself that as expected, Ning Fengzhi had taken the bait.
He immediately responded, his tone full of confidence: "It’s very simple."
"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will be responsible for the funding, while my Tang Sect will be responsible for providing the finished hidden weapon products, as well as specialized training in their use."
"I can guarantee the Sect Master that the Disciples of your noble Sect will definitely be able to master the use of Hidden Weapons."
He spoke more and more smoothly, starting to paint a grand picture for Ning Fengzhi.
"Not only that, the Tang Sect will have more powerful Hidden Weapons in the future."
"As long as we reach a cooperation, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will have priority usage rights for these Hidden Weapons."
When he said this, he had already faintly considered himself a Guest of Honor of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
It was as if this cooperation was already set in stone, only waiting for him to nod and sign.
But Ning Fengzhi’s next words directly shattered all his fantasies.
Ning Fengzhi nodded slightly, his tone still gentle: "I see."
"If we are to cooperate, I would like to change the method."
"I want to buy the full set of design drawings for the Tang Clan Hidden Weapon, including the Powder Shooting Shadow, as well as the drawings for all the subsequent Hidden Weapons you mentioned."
"In terms of price, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will definitely not disappoint you."
Rather than having the Tang Sect provide the finished products, Ning Fengzhi wanted to buy the drawings and manufacture them himself.
Tang San’s aura tightened instantly, his tone suddenly turning cold, and he refused almost without any thought: "Impossible!"
