Bone Douluo, no! Tang San is, after all, the son of an old acquaintance." Ning Fengzhi saw what was happening, immediately stepped forward, reached out to press Bone Douluo's arm, and said in a deep voice.
Hearing this, Bone Douluo snorted coldly, finally loosened his grip, then threw Tang San heavily to the ground, his gaze still unfriendly.
The next second, Ning Fengzhi bent down and helped Tang San up, his expression gentle and calm, saying, "Little San, don't misunderstand. We aren't necessarily forcing you to hand over the Hidden Weapons' manufacturing method. It's just that your Hidden Weapons are indeed extraordinary. If they can be passed down, they would not only benefit our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School but also all Spirit Masters in the world. This is an act that benefits generations to come."
"Hmph, benefits generations to come? He's just stubborn! In the end, he has no intention of selling the Hidden Weapons' method to us! Fengzhi, what are you still trying to persuade him for? If it were anyone else, I would have slapped him to death already." Bone Douluo suddenly interrupted, his voice low and full of menace.
Ning Fengzhi still smiled, as if he hadn't heard Bone Douluo's words, and patiently said,
"Little San, if you can teach us the Hidden Weapons' manufacturing method, we naturally won't treat you unfairly. Resources, gold coins, intelligence... you can ask for whatever you want."
As his voice faded, Bone Douluo's face contorted, and he added coldly, "If you don't agree, then don't blame me for turning hostile."
One spoke with gentle persuasion, the other with harsh coercion.
Ning Fengzhi and Bone Douluo played good cop, bad cop, and for a moment, Tang San was at a loss. They were doing this to force Tang San to hand over the Hidden Weapons' manufacturing method.
Even if it didn't succeed in the end, there would still be room for maneuver, after all, Bone Douluo was the bad guy, not Ning Fengzhi.
Even if Tang Hao came knocking, Ning Fengzhi could explain it as his subordinates being undisciplined.
Ning Fengzhi, as the Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, was certainly not a kind person with just a gentle smile.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, with no offensive power whatsoever, could still firmly hold its position among the Upper Three Sects, never relying on brute force, but on human relations, strategic planning, and political maneuvering.
At this moment, his face still carried that refined smile, like a spring breeze, making people easily relax, but in his heart, he had already thoroughly analyzed every word and every glance of Tang San. Bone Douluo's crude intimidation tactics were a tool he had long tacitly approved of.
And he himself played the role of the Sect Master who understood his Junior.
With the good cop, bad cop routine, if Tang San truly intended to concede, all the benefits would naturally fall to Ning Fengzhi. Even if Tang San stubbornly refused, he could still take the opportunity to look for other options.
"No, that's impossible."
After a moment of silence, Tang San still shook his head without hesitation, saying,
"I will not sell the Hidden Weapons' manufacturing method, but I promised Rongrong that I could sell Hidden Weapons to your Sect. How about this, I can give your Sect the forging procedures, but the final manufacturing and assembly must be completed by me personally."
Ning Fengzhi's eyes showed a thoughtful gaze. After pondering for a moment, he slowly said, "All right, as you say, it's a deal."
Hearing this, Bone Douluo frowned, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes, and immediately transmitted via spirit power, "Fengzhi, why did you compromise so easily?"
Ning Fengzhi smiled slightly, his expression unchanged, as if completely unaffected, and replied via spirit power, "Uncle Ning, don't rush. This boy is, after all, Tang Hao's son. We can't really torture him to extract the Hidden Weapons' manufacturing method. That would not only create a mortal enemy but also potentially invite other troubles. Right now, him being able to release a part of it is already a step back."
"Don't worry, I already have a new plan in mind. I believe it won't be long before he comes to beg our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and then..."
