At the entrance of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, the guards spotted the approaching duo from afar. These minor figures didn't recognize Dugu Bo, but they certainly knew Tianlin, and immediately stepped forward to greet him respectfully, "Young Master Tianlin, you're back."
Tianlin nodded. "It's been a while, everyone. Are Uncle Ning and my Master here?"
"Yes, Sect Master Ning and the three elders are all in the main hall, Young Master. May I ask who this is?" The guard asked, looking at Dugu Bo. It was his duty; if an outsider wanted to enter the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, he needed to know who they were.
"Let me introduce you. This will be our sect's Fourth Elder in the future. He is Senior Poison Douluo Dugu Bo." As soon as Tianlin said this, everyone was shocked.
"Greetings, Your Excellency Poison Douluo!" The etiquette for a Titled Douluo was absolutely essential; this was what Ning Fengzhi had taught them, respect for the strong.
One of the more quick-witted guards had already run into the sect. Such a big event as a Titled Douluo visiting, how could they not notify the Sect Master? And judging by what Tianlin had just said, this Poison Douluo was here to join their sect.
"Mm." Dugu Bo nodded indifferently towards them. He wouldn't be so enthusiastic towards just anyone. Except when facing Tianlin, Dugu Bo was still the proud Dugu Bo to everyone else.
Tianlin led Dugu Bo into the sect. As the wealthiest sect, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's prosperity was in no way inferior to the imperial palace.
"How is it, Old Monster, this place is not bad, right?" Tianlin said.
"Mm, it's indeed not bad, Little Monster. You said I could be a Guest Elder here who doesn't have to manage anything, can you really make that decision?" What Dugu Bo cared about most was freedom; he disliked the feeling of being restrained the most.
"Of course Xiao Tian can decide." At this moment, a gentle and magnetic voice came. It turned out that Ning Fengzhi had received the news of Tianlin bringing Dugu Bo back and had come out to greet them personally. Behind him were two Sect Protecting Douluo, as well as Soul Douluo Elder Yin Yang.
"Sword Brother!" At the same time, a little loli in a green dress ran over and jumped into Tianlin's arms.
"Rongrong, long time no see, you've grown taller and become even more beautiful." Tianlin rubbed Ning Rongrong's hair and smiled.
"Sword Brother, I missed you so much. Now that you're back, you won't leave again, right?" Ning Rongrong looked at Tianlin expectantly. Although Tianlin had returned once or twice in the past six months, he never stayed for too long.
The place where Dugu Bo lived was too dangerous, so Ning Fengzhi and the others simply didn't allow Ning Rongrong to come. She had been missing her Sword Brother for a long time.
"Mm, I won't leave. At most, I'll return to Heaven Dou Royal Academy to study. You can come to see me anytime." Heaven Dou Royal Academy was only half a day's journey from Seven Treasure City. If Ning Rongrong wanted to come, she could just find someone to bring her; it was safe and fast.
Ning Rongrong was immediately overjoyed. "That's great."
Ning Fengzhi walked up to Dugu Bo and said politely, "Senior Dugu, Xiao Tian is our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's future Sect Protecting Douluo. I, in the name of the sect master, fully acknowledge the promises he made to you. If you are willing to join the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, I, Ning Fengzhi, would be extremely honored."
Ning Fengzhi wouldn't put on any airs of a sect master at this time. If a Titled Douluo wanted to join the sect, he would be a fool to refuse.
Moreover, Poison Douluo was known as the Poison Overlord of the world, the best in group battles. Having him alone was enough to surpass thousands of troops.
"Sect Master Ning is too kind. Xiao Tian promised me that after I join the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, the sect will not only take care of my living arrangements but also not make me handle any affairs."
"In addition, my granddaughter is in love with the heir of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family. In this way, it can be seen as a marriage between the two major sects, and you will have to help prepare the dowry." Dugu Bo was not polite at all and spoke very bluntly.
But what he said, was that even a matter to Ning Fengzhi? What they lacked the least in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was money. Supporting a pair of grandparents was simply too easy, and Dugu Bo was right. Once he joined the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, his granddaughter marrying Yu Tianheng could be completely seen as a marriage between the two major sects.
This kind of strong alliance was beneficial to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School in every way, and Ning Fengzhi immediately agreed.
"Alright, then I'll give you Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School a name for the sake of this Little Monster."
Hearing these words, Ning Fengzhi was overjoyed. One sect with two Douluo had become one sect with three Douluo. The rise of his Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was unstoppable.
He immediately wanted to hold a grand welcoming ceremony for Dugu Bo, but Dugu Bo temporarily refused. He said that he still had one thing to do, and the ceremony for joining the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School would have to wait until that matter was completed.
Seeing Dugu Bo preparing to leave, Bone Douluo suddenly stepped forward and said, "Wait, Old Poison, when you return victorious, let's have a drink together. From now on, we are brothers of the same sect."
"Alright, Old Bone, Old Sword Man, prepare the fine wine and wait for my return." Dugu Bo nodded and disappeared in a flash.
In fact, they all knew what Dugu Bo was going to do. It was bound to be to end his decades-long feud with Chrysanthemum Douluo. They didn't plan to stop him from this.
Because this is the last time. If he joins the sect and then goes to find Chrysanthemum Douluo, that would be the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School provoking Spirit Hall. Therefore, this time, Dugu Bo will definitely go all out.
"Go, Old Monster, blow up that chrysanthemum for me. You will definitely win." Looking at the direction Dugu Bo left, Tianlin said with a faint smile.
In the original work, the level 92 Dugu Bo, plus the Mother-Son Soul-Chasing Life-Snatching Pellet, could defeat Chrysanthemum Douluo. Now, at level 93, plus the Snow-Colored Swan Kiss, he will definitely beat Chrysanthemum Douluo half to death.
"Xiao Tian, how did you persuade Dugu Bo? He is a very stubborn person. Spirit Hall has tried to recruit him many times without success," Ning Fengzhi and the others asked curiously.
"Because I gave him an Immortal Herb," Tianlin said, telling Ning Fengzhi and the others about his experiences at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well with some modifications.
He said that when he was learning about poison, he accidentally discovered the wonderful effects of the Snow-Colored Swan Kiss, and then gave it to Dugu Bo. Dugu Bo then became a close friend, promising him three things.
Then, he used one of the promises to get Dugu Bo to join the sect.
Ning Fengzhi nodded after listening. If that Snow-Colored Swan Kiss was truly so magical, enough to increase Dugu Bo's combat power several times, then it would not be surprising that it moved him.
Moreover, Dugu Bo is known throughout the continent not only for his poison and ruthlessness, but also for his trustworthiness. The promises made by Dugu Bo are definitely kept, which is also well known throughout the continent.
"Xiao Tian, you have recruited a Titled Douluo for the sect, which is really a great achievement. Come, go to the main hall with Uncle Ning, and Uncle will reward you handsomely." Ning Fengzhi was in a very good mood. He had already decided that he would definitely reward Tianlin handsomely this time.
Rewarding merits is the basis of being the master of a sect.
