Chapter 189: Talking with Ning Fengzhi about the Clear Sky Sect
Upon returning to the venue, Gu Han could clearly sense the profound gazes some people were giving him.
Especially Tang Hao, who appeared to be a cheerful and cheerful man, now had a gossipy air.
Come on, the person you're gossiping about is your sister. How can you be such a brother?
The banquet lasted until eleven o'clock at night, and everyone left. Those who lived far away temporarily stayed in nearby hotels, while those who lived closer went straight home.
Gu Han, on the other hand, went to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's hotel in Heaven Dou City to rest up. Tang Yuehua had originally wanted to invite Gu Han to stay the night at the Moon Pavilion, which had plenty of rest rooms, but Gu Han declined, claiming he had something to do.
"Brother Gu, you're truly blessed to have a woman like Miss Yuehua as your confidante. Fengzhi is envious,"
Ning Fengzhi teased Gu Han. He was also present at the time, but with Chen Xin covering up for him, he assumed Gu Han wouldn't notice.
However, no one knew the true extent of Gu Han's Yang Shen. His perception of these people's every move was impenetrable.
But Gu Han had no intention of revealing his Yang Shen to anyone other than the Spirit Hall's Priest, Bibi Dong. He would conceal it even from Chen Xin. Although Chen Xin was his master, he was also the Protector Elder of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Therefore, he had to keep it a secret.
While it might come in handy sooner or later, being informed of it and suddenly using it to catch the opponent off guard were two completely different concepts.
"Ahem, Brother Fengzhi, there's no need to bring this up."
Gu Han didn't want to explain anything at this moment. The other party was genuinely teasing him. If he continued the conversation, he would simply be playing into their trap. It was better to cut the conversation short.
As expected, Ning Fengzhi, noticing Gu Han's complete lack of interest, immediately lost interest and his expression grew serious.
"The establishment of the Moon Pavilion shows that the Clear Sky Sect also intends to intervene in the internal affairs of Heaven Dou. What do you think about this matter, Brother Gu?"
"Clear Sky Sect has Senior Tang Chen here. If they want to intervene, we should not react too strongly. On the contrary, we shouldn't just focus on the fact that the Clear Sky Hammer may take away part of our cake."
"Oh, what do you mean, Brother Gu?"
Ning Fengzhi raised his eyebrows and asked with interest. Even Chen Xin showed a curious look.
Gu Han gave a meaningful smile and said, "The Heaven Dou Empire is vast, capable of accommodating the Spirit Hall, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and the Clear Sky Sect."
"The interests of the Heaven Dou Empire are also immense, too great for both of us to swallow."
"And the Clear Sky Sect's involvement is a foregone conclusion. We shouldn't confront them, but rather cooperate with them and bring them over to our side."
"It would be best to create an incident that would completely bind the Clear Sky Sect and us together, at least to a united front regarding the Heaven Dou Imperial Family."
"That way, we can effectively prevent that fellow Xue Xing from seizing the opportunity to win over the Clear Sky Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect to counterbalance us."
Gu Han's words showed no regard for Emperor Xue Xing. In his eyes, he was a puppet of the Spirit Hall and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, working together to steal the Heaven Dou Empire.
If they wanted to break free, they would have to win over a powerful third party to confront the Spirit Hall and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. He could then sit back and watch the clash, playing both sides and gaining more power and benefits for the Heaven Dou Sect.
But now, Gu Han saw hope in winning over the Clear Sky Sect. Since they also had their eyes on the fat piece of meat from Heaven Dou, why not bring them in and share the spoils?
After all, the piece of meat was huge and inexhaustible, and a powerful friend was always better than a troublesome rival.
"Oh, what if the benefits from Heaven Dou aren't enough?" Ning Fengzhi's eyes flashed, and then he posed another question.
Gu Han smiled, sensing Ning Fengzhi's joke, but he offered an answer.
"If Heaven Dou isn't enough, don't we still have Star Luo?"
Gu Han narrowed his eyes slightly, and in this moment, he looked like a powerful villain manipulating power.
Gu Han felt no psychological burden at all. After all, he only appeared righteous and had an aura of immortality, but he had never considered himself a completely good person.
Whether it's good or bad depends entirely on the perspective he takes on a matter.
Hearing this, Ning Fengzhi was struck by his own heart. He gave Gu Han a deep look before smiling, "Brother Gu, you truly have great courage."
"No, I'm just doing my job."
Gu Han waved his hand, his eyes so deep that even someone as shrewd as Ning Fengzhi couldn't discern his thoughts.
But Ning Fengzhi was certain that the Spirit Hall would soon produce a powerful leader, one with such an all-embracing spirit that even he couldn't quite muster.
Honestly, when the Moon Pavilion was founded, Ning Fengzhi had been extremely resistant. If it weren't for the ties between the three upper sects and Tang Chen's presence, he truly didn't want another faction to share in the Seven Treasures' pie in the sky.
But now, after hearing Gu Han's words, Ning Fengzhi was completely convinced. Such courage, seeing through both sides of a situation and leveraging them to the utmost, allowing the positive to outweigh the negative, was something even he couldn't achieve.
Furthermore, Gu Han was right. If Heaven Dou wasn't enough, there was Star Luo.
Although power within Star Luo was highly concentrated, with Dai Hao holding almost absolute sway, it was by no means monolithic, and opportunities remained.
However, this wasn't something a single sect could accomplish alone. Therefore, if Star Luo needed to be undermined, the Spirit Hall's influence would undoubtedly be needed.
Of course, if the Clear Sky Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect wanted to get involved, then, as Gu Han had said, let them join forces. Douluo Continent was vast enough to accommodate the three upper sects and the Spirit Hall.
As long as their own sects prospered, profit-sharing with others would be a minor issue.
Moreover, if the Spirit Hall and the three upper sects could be united through this, I believe all four would be happy to see it happen.
If such a situation truly materialized, the entire continent would be shrouded in the shadow of the Spirit Hall and the three upper sects for hundreds, if not thousands, of years.
Such achievements would merit a separate page in the family tree and a statue to commemorate the current generation of sect leaders.
As for what would happen a thousand years from now, Ning Fengzhi said that wasn't something he could worry about.
Regardless, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect couldn't afford to decline under his watch.
The next morning,
Tang Hao was already lurking outside the Seven Treasures Hotel. As soon as Gu Han emerged, he approached and grabbed him.
"Brother Gu, come with me."
"Brother Hao, what happened so early in the morning?"
Gu Han asked, wondering if Tang Yuehua had cried last night. He had been very tactful.
"My grandfather needs to see you alone about something."
"Oh, I see."
Gu Han breathed a sigh of relief, having assumed it was about Tang Yuehua.
As for why Tang Chen wanted to see him, it couldn't possibly be to harm him. After all, if he had wanted to, he would have already done it yesterday outside of Heaven Dou City. There was no need for him to do anything unnecessary.
Furthermore, even if he wanted to harm him, he could just run. After all, a 500-meter teleportation wouldn't be easy for even a Limit Douluo to catch up with him.
