Early the next morning, at the Elf Residence in Heaven Dou City.
After knocking on the door for a long time with no response from the Elf Residence.
Standing outside the gate, Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin both had complex expressions on their faces.
Especially Ning Fengzhi, who fell into silence.
Come on, buddy.
I'm the sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, one of the Upper Three Sects.
Early in the morning, I've come to visit with a Titled Douluo in tow.
Yet, Your Excellency Elf not only hasn't responded, but there's not even a single person in sight. What do you mean by this?
When Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan came to visit, Your Excellency Elf came out to greet them.
When Crown Prince "Xue Qinghe" came to visit, Your Excellency Elf not only came out to greet him but also had long conversations with him for several nights.
Now, when it's our turn, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, to visit, we've been knocking for hours, and not a single person has shown up.
What exactly are you trying to say, Your Excellency Elf?
Are you looking down on our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?
At this moment, Chen Xin seemed to think of something and slowly spoke to Ning Fengzhi, who had a dark expression on his face.
"Fengzhi, do you think this Your Excellency Elf might have gone out and isn't home?"
"Otherwise, we've been knocking for hours."
"Even a pig, hearing such urgent knocking, would have gotten up and come out to take a look by now."
Clearly, not just Ning Fengzhi with his dark expression.
Even Chen Xin himself had some complaints about this.
Anyone would feel uncomfortable standing at someone's door knocking for hours without a response.
There are only two possible reasons for this situation.
First, just as Ning Fengzhi thought.
This Your Excellency Elf, upon realizing it was the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School visiting, chose to ignore the two of them.
But to be fair, our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has no grievances with Your Excellency Elf, so this possibility is very, very small, almost negligible.
Then, if the first possibility doesn't hold logically.
The only other option is that there has been a serious mistake in the intelligence of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, leading to this frustrating situation.
After hearing Chen Xin's reminder, Ning Fengzhi suddenly realized.
"Ah…"
"Sword Uncle, perhaps you're right."
"This Your Excellency Elf might really not be at home."
After calming down, Ning Fengzhi also thought of this.
Otherwise, it doesn't make sense.
We've been knocking for hours, and there's been no response.
When Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan came to visit, Elf Douluo personally came out to greet them!
When Crown Prince "Xue Qinghe" came to visit, Elf Douluo not only personally came out to greet him but also had long conversations with him for several nights!
Now, it doesn't make sense that when it's our turn, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Your Excellency Elf would ignore the two of us.
"Sword Uncle, why don't you use your spiritual power to check?"
Although he thought this way, not wanting to come all this way for nothing, Ning Fengzhi suggested to Chen Xin.
"Alright!"
Chen Xin was quite pleased with Ning Fengzhi's suggestion.
Although this is a very impolite behavior, at this point, the two of them couldn't care less.
They had been knocking at the Elf Residence for hours.
The spies from other factions had already seen everything clearly.
If there wasn't a plausible reason today, it would undoubtedly make their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School the laughingstock of countless factions across the Douluo Continent.
Thinking of this, Chen Xin utilized his formidable spiritual power and directly probed towards the Elf Residence.
A few minutes later, Chen Xin finally reopened his eyes and slowly spoke to Ning Fengzhi beside him.
"There's no one inside the residence!"
Hearing that it wasn't Yunxiao choosing to ignore them, Ning Fengzhi's tense expression gradually returned to its usual gentle and refined demeanor.
Ning Fengzhi knew he had been somewhat out of character just now.
As the sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, he was always poised and composed in front of others, rarely showing such anxiety and anger.
Moreover, as a qualified merchant and the leader of one of the Upper Three Sects, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, he often navigated the intricate web of forces in the Spirit Master World. Keeping his emotions in check had long become second nature to Ning Fengzhi.
Furthermore, he was also the teacher of the Crown Prince, "Xue Qinghe."
Due to the unique position of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, he always needed to maintain a dignified demeanor and a steady composure.
"Sword Uncle, since Your Excellency Elf is not at home, let's return to the sect first."
Ning Fengzhi deliberately raised his voice, appearing calm on the surface, but his mind was already pondering.
"It seems our intelligence department at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School needs a thorough overhaul."
After confirming that it was their sect's intelligence mistake, although Ning Fengzhi was inwardly annoyed, he still wore a warm smile on his face.
As Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin left the Elf Residence, many "suspicious" vendors nearby began to busy themselves.
Meanwhile, in the Eastern Palace of the Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace.
Looking at the intelligence report sent from the Elf Residence, Qian Renxue, who was cultivating in the secret chamber, couldn't help but sneer.
"Hmph, this Ning Fengz sure loves to jump around."
Regarding Ning Fengzhi's character of eagerly maneuvering among various factions and actively seeking benefits, Qian Renxue had to admit that Yunxiao's previous assessment was spot on.
This Ning Fengzhi not only loved to jump around but was also a disgusting piece of filth.
Qian Renxue's slender, delicate fingers casually tapped on the armrest.
The flames on the gilded candlestick flickered slightly with her movements, casting her cold and beautiful face in an even deeper light.
She had long been mentally prepared for Ning Fengzhi's visit to Yunxiao.
After all, Yunxiao's configuration of eight black and one red Soul Rings, along with his Titled Douluo strength, had already been laid out on the desks of high-ranking officials from various major factions.
As the sect's headquarters were located in the mountains outside the Heavenly Dou City, making them "good neighbors" with Yunxiao, it would be strange if Ning Fengzhi had no reaction at all.
Thinking of this, a mocking smile curled at the corner of Qian Renxue's lips.
"Haha!"
"It seems Ning Fengzhi has become increasingly restless lately."
"Uncle Shelong!"
In an instant, a plan that could thoroughly disgust Ning Fengzhi formed in her mind.
Hearing Qian Renxue's call, Serpent Spear Douluo slowly emerged from the shadows.
"Young lady, what are your orders?"
"Uncle Shelong!"
"Please spread the news that Ning Fengzhi was turned away at the Elf Residence to every corner of the Douluo Continent."
"I want everyone to know that Ning Fengzhi, the Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, couldn't even enter Yunxiao's Elf Residence."
"Yes, Miss!"
Upon receiving Qian Renxue's instructions, Serpent Spear Douluo immediately left the Crown Prince's Eastern Palace.
Watching the departing figure of Serpent Spear Douluo, a glint of amusement flashed in Qian Renxue's eyes.
She was eagerly looking forward to seeing the look on Ning Fengzhi's face, as if he had swallowed a fly.
