Chapter 192 Ning Rongrong's Late-Night Visit
Qin Mu gave Ning Fengzhi absolutely no room for negotiation, and immediately got up to leave through the door.
Ning Fengzhi watched Qin Mu's actions but did not react immediately.
Ning Fengzhi's eyes narrowed slightly as he subtly glanced at Qin Mu's departing figure.
Negotiations naturally involve bargaining, and it's understandable that Ning Fengzhi couldn't accept Qin Mu's tough stance.
However, Qin Mu did not feel any burden about this.
After all, in his view, it was their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect that needed help more right now.
As for the series of consequences that would result from the possible destruction of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, although it might complicate Qin Mu's subsequent progress, it is not an unacceptable price for him.
With this mindset, Qin Mu's steps naturally became much more relaxed.
Ignoring Ning Fengzhi's attitude, Qin Mu walked straight towards the door.
One step, two steps...
As Qin Mu got closer to the door of the reception room, he couldn't help but frown slightly.
Could it be that Ning Fengzhi is really that clueless?
As the entrance to the reception room drew near, Qin Mu was already calculating the impact of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's destruction on him when Ning Fengzhi's rather helpless voice rang out in the room once again.
"Young friend Qin Mu, you win. Let's talk about the cooperation."
As Ning Fengzhi's voice rang out, Sword Douluo's figure immediately appeared at the entrance of the reception room, blocking Qin Mu's path.
Sword Douluo gave Qin Mu a friendly smile and gestured for Qin Mu to return to his seat.
Ning Fengzhi ultimately dared not gamble with the future of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
If what Qin Mu said is true, then their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will definitely suffer a catastrophic disaster.
If that force makes a move, it will surely deal a heavy blow to their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!
Seeing that Ning Fengzhi had relented, Qin Mu did not push his luck.
Returning to his seat, Qin Mu continued to savor his fragrant tea, without saying anything more to Ning Fengzhi.
Seeing Qin Mu's attitude, Ning Fengzhi knew that Qin Mu was showing dissatisfaction because of what had just happened.
Ning Fengzhi didn't dare to say much about this. After trying to strike up a conversation a few times, Qin Mu's response was lukewarm, but he didn't reveal any useful information.
Seeing this, Ning Fengzhi sighed helplessly once again.
"Young friend Qin Mu must be quite tired from your journey. It's getting late, so please stay at my sect for the night. Let my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect do our best to be a good host."
As he spoke, Ning Fengzhi immediately ordered his servants to take Qin Mu and the other person away.
Before long, only Ning Fengzhi and two others remained in the reception room.
"Sect Master, is it necessary to be so cautious?"
Bone Douluo was slightly puzzled.
"This concerns the future of our sect; we must be extremely cautious!"
Ning Fengzhi felt completely overwhelmed.
If a cooperation agreement cannot be reached with Qin Mu as soon as possible, it will be like having a sword hanging over Ning Fengzhi's head forever.
"Sect Master, could this kid be staging this himself? Maybe it's not even happening, and he's just trying to fool us?"
After pondering for a moment, Bone Douluo raised his question.
Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi fell silent, then stood up.
"That possibility cannot be ruled out. However, just to be on the safe side, let's reassure Qin Mu first."
"However, since they dared to attack us, there's a high chance they won't only target us."
"I will immediately send someone to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family to investigate the situation!"
After saying that, Ning Fengzhi hurriedly walked out of the reception room, and Sword Douluo and the other man disappeared with him.
Meanwhile, in the superior guest room of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Qin Mu was leisurely lying on the bed in the guest room.
Qin Mu completely dominated the negotiations today, and Ning Fengzhi was led by the nose throughout the entire process.
The reason the negotiations ended so hastily was because Qin Mu knew that such things could not be accomplished overnight.
Ning Fengzhi must be made clearly aware of the current crisis facing their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect in order for the final cooperation to be successfully achieved.
Besides Qin Mu, Ling Yuan was also sitting at the round table in the room.
"Little Qin Mu, are we really safe inside the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect? Will they suddenly attack us tonight?"
Ling Yuan had no interest in the complex relationships between the various factions; she was only concerned about whether Qin Mu would face retaliation as a result.
The talent that Qin Mu displayed to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect today has absolutely exceeded the school's expectations.
The negotiations just now left Ning Fengzhi feeling repeatedly humiliated.
This made Ling Yuan worry that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect might hold a grudge against Qin Mu because of this.
"Don't worry. As long as the people from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect aren't fools, they won't attack us."
"The things I'm telling them now, they haven't even investigated to see if they're true or false. If they rashly take action against me, it won't do them any good in the short term. On the contrary, it could bring disaster."
"How could the Spirit Hall allow something like this to happen to a future pillar of the Spirit Hall and a titled Douluo elder of considerable status?"
"So, all you need to do now is go back to your room and get some rest. The negotiations should be over by tomorrow."
After Qin Mu finished speaking, he turned and glanced at Ling Yuan.
Seeing that Ling Yuan had no intention of leaving, Qin Mu didn't try to persuade her any further and was preparing to go to sleep.
Suddenly, both of them in the room turned their gaze toward the doorway, and Qin Mu even frowned slightly.
What is she doing here at this time?
Ling Yuan turned her head and glanced at Qin Mu before her figure suddenly disappeared.
Although Ling Yuan could no longer be seen in the room, Qin Mu knew that she was definitely hiding somewhere inside.
Without stopping Ling Yuan, Qin Mu walked over and opened the door before the person outside could knock.
The woman outside the door froze in mid-air as she reached out her hand. When Qin Mu opened the door, she exclaimed "Ah!" and unconsciously took a few steps back.
"Miss Ning, what brings you here so late?"
Ning Rongrong stood at the door of Qin Mu's room, with a teapot steaming slightly on the tray in her other hand.
"I...I thought you must have had a long day, so I prepared some calming tea to help relieve your fatigue."
Ning Rongrong spoke in a sweet voice, her hand movements somewhat awkward.
As the eldest daughter of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, when has she ever done such a thing?
"Thank you for making this trip in person, Miss Ning."
After thanking Ning Rongrong, Qin Mu took the teapot from her hand, took two steps back, and was about to close the door when he noticed that Ning Rongrong at the door did not intend to leave.
"Miss Ning, is there anything else?"
Ning Rongrong bit her lower lip lightly, a struggle appearing on her face. Then she raised her head and looked at Qin Mu with a complicated expression.
"Qin Mu, can I trust you?"
