A faint smile played on Ling Yuan's face, and a hint of joy appeared in her eyes, making her look very happy.
"Young Miss."
Ling Yuan bowed respectfully to Ye Xi.
"Ling Yuan, is there something that has made you happy?"
"You seem very pleased."
Watching Ling Yuan's expression, a hint of curiosity flickered in Ye Xi's eyes.
"Yes, there is indeed something worth being happy about."
"Just now, my spirit power broke through level 95 and officially entered level 96."
As she spoke, red spirit power appeared in her hand. After her spirit power reached the level 96 Peak Douluo stage, she could clearly feel the magnitude of the gap between level 95 and level 96.
"Ling Yuan, then I must congratulate you."
"After we return to Spirit City, you can enter the Hall of Offerings and become the eighth offering of the Hall of Offerings."
Ye Xi smiled, speaking from the heart.
Upon hearing this, Ling Yuan's expression did not change in the slightest, but she gradually crouched down, quietly gazing into Ye Xi's eyes.
"Young Miss, I once said that I am willing to die for you."
"Therefore, I will not enter the Hall of Offerings to become the so-called eighth offering."
"When the time comes, I will explain to the High Priest that I wish to stay by your side to protect your safety."
Ling Yuan's voice was very stern, and her eyes were filled with sincerity.
Hearing Ling Yuan's words, Ye Xi was stunned for a moment, but she quickly regained her composure, smiled, and reached out to help Ling Yuan up.
"Ling Yuan, I originally had some things to ask you, but now that your spirit power has broken through to level 96, I don't think I need to ask anymore."
As Ye Xi spoke, she walked toward the main hall.
"What matters?"
"Young Miss, why don't you tell me first?"
Ling Yuan followed Ye Xi's pace and asked softly.
"Ning Fengzhi of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has invited me to visit the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School tomorrow."
"Although it is unlikely that anything will happen, I still want to ask you: how do you compare to Bone Douluo and Sword Douluo in terms of strength?"
Ye Xi walked with her hands behind her back, her steps light.
"Young Miss, as of now, my spirit power is slightly stronger than Bone Douluo's. If we were to actually fight, I should be able to defeat Bone Douluo Gu Rong."
"But as for Sword Douluo Chen Xin, I can only say that I will not be defeated in the short term. The odds of winning should be four-six or three-seven."
Ling Yuan answered very seriously, a hint of solemnity appearing in her eyes.
"Then, in the event of an emergency, are you confident that you can take me away from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?"
Ye Xi paused slightly and turned to look at Ling Yuan behind her.
"If the goal is purely to escape, it shouldn't be a problem."
Ling Yuan thought carefully before answering Ye Xi's question.
"Then there is no problem."
"We will visit the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School tomorrow."
Ye Xi waved her hand gently, signaling Ling Yuan to go back and rest, and then walked straight ahead.
Upon receiving Ye Xi's signal, Ling Yuan immediately headed toward her room.
...
The next day, early morning.
Xue Qinghe's carriage was waiting early at the entrance of the mansion. Ye Xi and Ling Yuan walked out of the mansion and boarded Xue Qinghe's carriage directly.
After the two entered the carriage, it started moving toward the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
The carriage stopped slowly in front of the mountain gate of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. Ye Xi was the first to step out of the carriage. Looking at the magnificent and imposing mountain gate, a hint of emotion appeared in her eyes.
"Let's go in."
Xue Qinghe stepped out of the carriage, patted Ye Xi on the shoulder, and walked into the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
Seeing this, Ye Xi did not speak but quickly caught up to Xue Qinghe's pace, while Ling Yuan followed behind the two at an unhurried pace.
Led by Xue Qinghe, the group entered the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School without any obstruction.
Soon, the group arrived in front of the main hall of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. Ning Fengzhi, as the Sect Master, was standing quietly in front of the hall with a gentle smile, waiting.
"Teacher."
Xue Qinghe came before Ning Fengzhi, bowed, and reached out to introduce Ye Xi beside him.
"Teacher, this is Ye Xi."
"Soon, she will also be the Pavilion Master of the Frost Snow Pavilion."
While Xue Qinghe was introducing her, Ning Fengzhi looked Ye Xi up and down.
"To have achieved such accomplishments at such a young age, you can be called a proud daughter of heaven."
After expressing his admiration, Ning Fengzhi gestured for them to enter, signaling Xue Qinghe, Ye Xi, and the others to enter the main hall.
"School Master Ning is too kind."
After looking Ning Fengzhi over, Ye Xi walked into the main hall. Ning Fengzhi gave off a very easygoing feeling, completely lacking the airs of a Sect Master of the Upper Three Sects.
Everyone sat down in the main hall. Ning Fengzhi personally picked up the teacups and poured a cup of tea for Xue Qinghe, Ye Xi, and Ling Yuan.
"This is the seven treasure glazed tile tea unique to our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. Taste it and see if you are used to it."
"If you do not like it, you can tell me, and I will change it to another beverage for you."
Ning Fengzhi placed the three cups of seven treasure glazed tile tea in front of the three of them.
After taking a sip of the seven treasure glazed tile tea, Ye Xi put down the cup and looked at Ning Fengzhi: "School Master Ning, you invited me to visit, is there something the matter?"
Ye Xi's words were very direct, without any hesitation.
"I heard from Qinghe that a force called the Frost Snow Pavilion is to be established in Heaven Dou City, so I invited you to visit our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. There is nothing else."
"Of course, if there is anything you need help with during the establishment process, you can also tell me. If I can be of help, I will try my best to help."
Ning Fengzhi held his teacup and sipped the seven treasure glazed tile tea in his hand unhurriedly.
"Thank you for your concern, School Master Ning. As of now, there is nothing that needs help regarding the establishment of our Frost Snow Pavilion."
Ye Xi smiled, her tone polite.
"That is good."
"I just wonder what kind of force could cultivate such a proud daughter of heaven as yourself."
Ning Fengzhi looked at Ye Xi with a gentle gaze, his voice filled with a hint of admiration and emotion.
Hearing Ning Fengzhi's words, the eyes of Ye Xi and Xue Qinghe narrowed slightly, but Xue Qinghe did not speak, instead silently sipping his tea.
"The elders in my family have been living in seclusion for many years, so it is not worth mentioning."
Ye Xi smiled, her tone very casual.
"Elders..."
Hearing Ye Xi's words, Ning Fengzhi quickly grasped the key point.
Ning Fengzhi's gaze moved subtly to look at Ling Yuan standing behind Ye Xi, a faint look of contemplation appearing in his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking about.
"Since that is the case, I will not ask any more questions."
Ning Fengzhi's eyes returned to calmness, his voice very easygoing.
