Douluo's Holy Lord at the Start

Chapter 15: The Demon's Eye

Gu Xuan could probably guess some of Ning Fengzhi and Xue Qinghe's thoughts.

But that has nothing to do with him; what he needs to do now is cultivate his soul power.

As long as he doesn't leave the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, his safety is absolutely guaranteed.

They should just ignore what's going on around them.

He nodded to Ning Fengzhi, called him "Uncle," and then headed towards the chief's seat.

As the only person in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School in the past hundred years to possess innate full soul power, and as Gu Rong's grandson, Gu Xuan's status in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School can be said to be second only to Gu Rong, and even higher than Ning Fengzhi's sons.

Therefore, when Gu Xuan took the chief position, which no one else was qualified for, absolutely no one dared to question it.

"Grandpa, Grandpa Sword!"

"Under the Sword Crown, Under the Bone Crown."

Gu Xuan and Xue Qinghe greeted the two pillars of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and after receiving their nods, they each went to their respective places.

Xue Qinghe was positioned to Ning Fengzhi's right, while Gu Xuan headed towards Gu Rong.

However, they hadn't gone far when a spoiled and willful voice came from behind them.

"Hey, Xiao Xuanzi, where's my birthday present?!"

Gu Xuan turned his head and saw Ning Rongrong standing on a chair with her hands on her hips, looking at him with an arrogant expression.

It has to be said that if this scene were played on other children, it would probably be considered exceptionally cute and adorable.

But if this happened to Ning Rongrong and Gu Xuan saw it...

Besides being a dragon, the Holy Lord is also a demon wizard. Although Gu Xuan did not gain any memories of the Holy Lord related to magic, he could still see the malice Ning Rongrong was towards him.

Through the Devil's Eye, he might not be able to see who is kind to him, but he can definitely see who is full of malice towards him.

Ning Fengzhi's expression froze upon seeing this scene.

At the same time, Ning Rongrong's performance in public attracted the attention of many people.

Xue Qinghe almost burst out laughing when he saw this, but his excellent disguise skills allowed him to control his expression very well.

It seems he doesn't even need to lift a finger; Ning Rongrong alone is enough to alienate Gu Xuan from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

"snort!"

Ning Rongrong looked at Gu Xuan, whose little face was full of arrogance.

She did it on purpose; if he didn't prepare a gift today, he would lose face big time.

She was certain that Gu Xuan wouldn't prepare a gift for her, given how bad their relationship was now; if it were her, she wouldn't prepare one either.

But if you attend someone's birthday party without bringing a gift, you'll definitely be considered impolite, right?

Then I'll let you experience what it's like to be locked in a dark room, and I'll let the sect say more bad things about him. Let's see if you still come to apologize to me then.

Ning Rongrong had already planned Gu Xuan's taming strategy, and was just waiting for Gu Xuan to run out of things so she could make things difficult for him.

But something disappointing happened.

Gu Xuan expressionlessly took out a box from his soul tool.

This was prepared for him by Gu Rong. After all, it was his birthday and he was the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. Gu Xuan thought about it and then put it away.

Issues of etiquette should not be influenced by personal feelings.

Moreover, he didn't invest anything in it.

"Give."

Gu Xuan tossed the box to Ning Rongrong, then turned around, went to Gu Rong's side, called him "Grandpa," and sat down.

Ning Fengzhi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but his gaze towards Ning Rongrong still held a hint of disappointment.

Fortunately, Gu Xuan had prepared a gift; otherwise, who knows how many troubles would have arisen.

"Huh!"

Ning Rongrong stared in disbelief at the gift box on her desk.

She wanted to say something, but before she could utter a word, Ning Fengzhi gently covered her mouth from behind.

"Alright, everyone, let's begin the banquet. Thank you all for taking time out of your busy schedules to come to our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to celebrate my daughter's birthday."

Ning Fengzhi naturally realized that the gift was not prepared by Gu Xuan himself.

Ning Rongrong must have noticed it too, since the ones Gu Rong gave were exactly the same as the ones Gu Xuan gave.

But can Ning Rongrong bring this up?

Isn't it embarrassing enough?

"Xuan'er, how did you and Xue Qinghe meet?"

Gu Rong sighed, looking somewhat disappointed, then turned to Gu Xuan and asked curiously.

"We're not close. We just chatted outside for a bit."

Gu Xuan confessed honestly.

"Well, you should avoid contact with him in the future. He's a man with a lot on his mind. Right now, your most important thing is to focus on your cultivation."

Gu Rong knew all too well how corrupt the royal family was, and was deeply afraid that Gu Xuan would be corrupted by Xue Qinghe.

"Grandpa, don't worry. My ambition is to become the strongest man. Nothing will affect me until then."

Gu Xuan's eyes were very firm; once he was certain, no one could change his mind.

"Hahaha, that's right, men of the Gu family should have this kind of ambition."

Gu Rong laughed heartily, which made Chen Xin's eyes flash with a hint of envy.

Or... should I have one myself?

No, that won't do. Women and children will only slow down his sword-drawing speed.

Chen Xin quickly dismissed those unrealistic thoughts from her mind.

There's a reason why the Seven Kill Sword can't rank as high as the Clear Sky Hammer.

Practicing swordsmanship has extinguished all my desires.

"Alright, Uncle Gu, I'll leave the rest to you."

After the banquet, it was time for the birthday boy to awaken his martial spirit.

After the servants cleared the table and bowls away, Ning Fengzhi invited Gu Rong.

Although Ning Rongrong's previous actions made Gu Rong very unhappy, she was still a child he had watched grow up (both Ning Fengzhi and Ning Rongrong were children he had watched grow up).

Not wanting to offend them, Gu Rong stood up from his seat with a blank expression.

With a flash, he appeared directly in the center of the main hall.

Then, nine spirit rings, one yellow, one purple, one black, one black, one black, one black, one black, one black, appeared one by one at his feet, but there was no sign of his aura leaking out. However, those nine spirit rings alone were enough to shock them, so there was no need for them to release their aura.

"Rongrong, come down. Grandpa Gu will help you awaken your martial soul."

Gu Rongrong, at least, smiled slightly.

"Hmm!"

Ning Rongrong smiled sweetly, then turned around halfway and looked at Gu Xuan with an arrogant expression, as if to say, "My martial soul was awakened by your grandfather, let's see what you do, are you angry?"

Gu Xuan remained expressionless and even closed his eyes.

"snort!"

Seeing that Gu Xuan hadn't revealed the slightest flaw, Ning Rongrong stomped her foot angrily, then turned around and ran to Gu Rong's side.

"Grandpa Bone, could you awaken a full innate soul power for me too?"

Ning Rongrong hugged Gu Rong's leg and acted coquettishly. After all, in her opinion, Gu Xuan's innate full soul power was awakened with Gu Rong's help, so awakening one for herself would definitely not be a problem.

Seeing Ning Rongrong clinging to his leg and acting coquettishly, Gu Rong didn't know what to say. After all, could he really control his innate soul power?

"Rongrong, stop fooling around and come down right now!"

Ning Fengzhi had no idea how many times his face had darkened, and he quickly scolded him.

Finally, under Ning Fengzhi's death stare, Ning Rongrong obediently walked into the Awakening Array.
