Dugu Bo said seriously.
"Right now, only Ning Rongrong can break the deadlock."
Zhuge Lan was stunned. Ning Rongrong's strength wasn't that of a Titled Douluo, not even a Spirit Douluo. With such strength, it would be too difficult for her to break the deadlock.
Moreover, he didn't want Ning Rongrong to fall into a dangerous situation.
So he said,
"Ning Rongrong's strength isn't enough. Wouldn't it be difficult to break the deadlock?"
Dugu Bo sighed.
"Alas, should I call you stupid or naive? Ning Rongrong can break the deadlock not because of her strength, but because she is from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."
Zhuge Lan was still a little confused.
"Senior, please continue."
Dugu Bo continued,
"Actually, it's very simple. Only if the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect takes action against Spirit Hall will this balance of confrontation be broken. Then, it will no longer make any sense for School Master Ning, who wants peace, to capture you. At that time, School Master Ning will have no choice but to act against Spirit Hall."
Zhuge Lan's eyes lit up. He understood what it meant. The people at the top wanted to negotiate peace, but the people below had already started fighting, so peace talks would be meaningless under such circumstances.
The people at the top could only prepare for battle and abandon their fantasies.
Specifically, the strategy was to have the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect proactively attack Spirit Hall, preferably by taking out one of their strongholds. Spirit Hall would naturally not swallow this insult, and then the battle would begin.
He, Dugu Bo, Clan Leader Bai He, and Starcloud Douluo could all help, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would also need to send out an important figure, and that figure would be Ning Rongrong.
He instantly understood everything.
So he said with a smile,
"I understand, Senior. You mean for Ning Rongrong to lead a team to attack the stronghold Spirit Hall left at the foot of the mountain, igniting this battle to achieve the goal of forcing the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to fight."
Dugu Bo smiled.
"That's right, isn't it? The Zhuge Lan I know is very intelligent. He quickly analyzed the stakes involved."
Zhuge Lan nodded awkwardly.
"This time, my understanding was a bit slow."
...
In Ning Rongrong's boudoir.
The beautiful and exquisite boudoir now had an atmosphere of panic.
The boudoir itself didn't exude this atmosphere; there was only one possibility: Ning Rongrong's heart was in turmoil.
She was trying to figure out how to get out of here. After all, she had told Zhuge Lan in the letter that she would get out of here and contact him within three days.
But after such a long time, she still hadn't found a good solution.
She opened the door, and outside were two Soul Masters. One of them blocked her and said,
"Miss, the Sect Master said you are not allowed to go out for a month."
The other one also added,
"Miss, please don't make things difficult for me."
Ning Rongrong let out a long sigh and said with a smile,
"I've been in this room for a long time. I want to go out and get some fresh air. How about it?"
One Soul Master shook his head helplessly.
"Miss, I know you want to go out. Seeing you pacing back and forth in the room, we are also troubled, but we have no choice but to obey the Sect Master's orders. So, please bear with it for a month, Miss!"
The other Soul Master said,
"Miss, if you need anything, like food, daily necessities, or a pet, our two brothers will do our best to get them for you."
Ning Rongrong shrugged helplessly. Since they had already said so much, there was no way for her to go out.
She could only say to one of the Soul Masters,
"I want to eat snowflake crisps. Go get them for me."
That Soul Master immediately said,
"No problem, I'll definitely get them for you." The other Soul Master also nodded.
"Don't worry about that, Miss! Now, please go back to your room, Miss. Call us if you need anything."
Ning Rongrong nodded helplessly and then returned to her room.
Back in her room, she took a bath, changed into a new set of clothes, lay on the bed, and started reading a book.
At first, it was fine, but after a while, she felt uncomfortable because she couldn't focus. With so many things on her mind, she couldn't concentrate on anything. Under such circumstances, she reluctantly sat up.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
She thought it was the snowflake crisps and opened the door with a smile, but when she saw it was Clan Leader Bai He, her heart was ecstatic, but she didn't show it.
She quickly said,
"Clan Leader Bai He, please come in!"
One of the Soul Masters guarding the door said,
"Clan Leader Bai He, Miss cannot go out. If you go inside, you can only stay for three minutes."
Clan Leader Bai He nodded.
"Understood. I just wanted to ask Miss Ning to find School Master Ning."
Clan Leader Bai He followed Ning Rongrong into the room. Ning Rongrong quickly closed all the doors and windows in the room, then whispered,
"Clan Leader Bai He, did you give the letter to Zhuge Lan?"
Clan Leader Bai He nodded with a smile.
"I did."
Ning Rongrong's face showed a look of pleasant surprise, and her heart was even happier. It had been so long since she last saw Zhuge Lan.
Zhuge Lan held a relatively important position in her heart; otherwise, she wouldn't have stepped forward during that critical situation last time.
She was truly happy that Zhuge Lan could come this time.
Afterward, she asked,
"Clan Leader Bai He, did he reply?"
Clan Leader Bai He smiled.
"No."
Ning Rongrong was stunned, and a hint of dissatisfaction appeared on her face. She treated Zhuge Lan with such dedication, yet he didn't even give her a reply.
This hurt her heart. When she saw him again, she would have to give him a good talking to.
But she didn't show any disappointment on her face and instead said,
"Then did he say anything to me?"
Clan Leader Bai He nodded.
"He said to tell you to go find him."
Ning Rongrong was a little angry and pouted, saying,
"I know, but I've tried. It's very difficult for me to get out. As soon as there's any movement here, the guards outside will rush in. It's hard for me to get out."
Clan Leader Bai He then took out an invisibility talisman, handed it to Ning Rongrong, and said,
"This is an invisibility talisman. It can help you leave here."
Ning Rongrong held the invisibility talisman and asked curiously,
"Is the invisibility talisman for invisibility? But there's a Spirit Douluo among the guards outside. Can I really get out?"
Clan Leader Bai He was stunned for a moment, then said,
"This invisibility talisman is very advanced. Even a Spirit Douluo or a Titled Douluo wouldn't notice it unless they looked very carefully."
Ning Rongrong's eyes lit up. Now she could go out. If she made some noise, and the two guards came in, she could then use the invisibility talisman to leave. Suddenly, she thought of a serious problem.
Then she said,
"Clan Leader Bai He, the guards outside check every two hours. If I leave, they will discover it after two hours. Everyone says Zhuge Lan has a lot of magical and powerful items in his pocket. Does he have a puppet talisman that can create a puppet just like me? That way, the guards won't discover that I've left."
