Ning Zhuo licked his lips, his breathing became slightly rapid, and he raised his eyes to look at Zhu Xuanji, with a hint of stubbornness in his eyes: "Master Zhu, you are from the Nandou royal family, and I am a branch of the Ning family." "My mother passed away when I was very young. My father passed away earlier. I have never seen him." "Even though I have a biological uncle, I am not close to him and I don't get much care from him." "Ever since I was a child, my life has been difficult." "You claim to be a watchful eye on the people, but you are just a spectator. You have not experienced it personally, and you don't know that many times, what I consider is not the right path or the wrong path, but where I can get my next meal." "People at the bottom can only focus on the immediate future." "Many times, it's not their choice, but that they don't have a choice!" "Right path or wrong path? Haha, in their eyes, there may be only one path from beginning to end. That is the way to survive!" Ning Zhuo did not respond directly, but it was equivalent to answering Zhu Xuanji's words. He lacked key information, so it was impossible to ask how Zhu Xuanji suspected him.
This is tantamount to asking for trouble! He did not test or remain silent, as this might arouse Zhu Xuanzhi's disgust and anger. Ning Zhuo chose to defend passively and take advantage of every opportunity. He deliberately talked about his suffering because he wanted to take advantage of Zhu Xuanzhi's temperament. At the Fire Persimmon Festival, Zhu Xuanji's appearance caught Ning Zhuo off guard, forcing him to take a risk and risk his life, which resulted in Yuan Dasheng's death. Afterwards, Ning Zhuo reflected on himself and realized that he had made a big mistake - he lacked information about Zhu Xuanzhi. From then on, he devoted all his efforts to collecting relevant information. A lesson learned. He won't make the same mistake again. Because if you do it again, it could very well be the difference between life and death. There is a saying that goes very well - the person who knows you best is often your enemy! Zhu Xuanji had no expression on his face, but he sighed deeply in his heart. He was impressed! There are only wrong names, not wrong titles. He claims to be careful and peaceful for the people, because he has deep compassion for the underprivileged and the weak. Ning Zhuo's words touched the soft spot in his heart. Of course, he could hear that in addition to suffering and being forced, Ning Zhuo also wanted to excuse himself, test Zhu Xuanzhi, and seek understanding. Zhu Xuanji felt a little relieved. At least Ning Zhuo has been telling the truth and trying to seek Zhu Xuanji's understanding. Instead of blindly denying it or refuting it. How to say it?
Talking to smart people saves you worry and effort! And Ning Zhuo's understanding of current affairs made Zhu Xuanji believe that the young man in front of him could be saved and could be won over. Zhu Xuanji sighed softly: "The roads are all made by people!" "Some roads are easy, but they are wrong. Some roads are difficult, but they are the right road." "Just like Li Leifeng, he lived a difficult and miserable life for the rest of his life, but it is precisely because of this that he is so respected." "Actually, everyone has a scale that measures others and things at all times. Those who bear the burden and keep warm for everyone are the ones who radiate light." "You have also been illuminated by this light! Li Leifeng has already pointed out the way for you." Ning Zhuo was silent. The strategy of showing weakness and empathizing works. From Zhu Xuanzhi's tone, expression and words, he did not hear any disgust or disgust. But the problem remains. Ning Zhuo didn't know what clues Zhu Xuanji had that made him so suspicious of him and win over him. This point is crucial. Without knowing this, Ning Zhuo could almost only passively defend in this attack. Unable to take the initiative! "Continuing like this is definitely not an option." "Eventually, I will be pushed into a corner by him and there will be no room for me to move." "Rather than do that, let's take some risks now." Ning Zhuo had already seen the result of his defeat, gritted his teeth secretly, and decided to take a risk. He said: "Li Leifeng is a model of righteousness. Whenever I think of him, I feel warm." "He made me feel that this world is worth it." "However, how many Li Leifengs are there in this world?" "How many people can be illuminated by his light?" "Yes, I have been taken care of. I am lucky, but also unfortunate at the same time." "It is precisely because you feel the warmth that you understand the pain of cold better." After a pause, Ning Zhuo looked at Zhu Xuanji, his eyes full of energy. "Master Zhu, people are different." "In my opinion, Li Leifeng, like you, is aloof and a figure on the stage. Whether it is true love or fake drama, they are all glamorous." "And I am in the audience after all."
"Do you know what it feels like to steal the leftover cakes from those guests?" "You have to bite the bullet and endure the looks of contempt and hatred. You have to reach out and pick through the mess of cups and plates." "You will feel ashamed. This feeling is what outsiders tell you, and it is also caused deep down in your heart by giving in to the desires of your mouth and stomach." “I’m the bottom, I’ve been since I was a kid.” "Although my surname is Ning, I never think that I am noble." "I'm mean." "I'm a thief!" "I rummage through the trash for people to eat." "I'm at the bottom. Haha, maybe it's a bit pretentious to say this." "But I really think so!" "Look, even if I grow up, I will still get involved in the black market business. I pick up food from places that the righteous look down on." "I'm not afraid of dirt, I'm only afraid of not having enough to eat." Ning Zhuo exhaled a breath of turbid air and smiled sadly. "I know that there are people like Li Leifeng in the world. I admire him and am grateful to him." "And you, Lord Zhu." "I admire you." "This is the truth!" "You are a royal family and a divine detective, but you have your own principles and always abide by them." "You are a gentleman and you deserve your reputation." "However, I know deeply that people are different from each other, from the beginning. People's paths are also different." "No one can really help me. People are lonely, and people cannot fully understand others." "Most of the time, I can only rely on myself." "The path I take is my own choice!" Zhu Xuanji fell into silence. He felt blocked in his heart. Ning Zhuo's words made his heart waver. He knew a lot about Ning Zhuo, so he understood him. Although Ning Zhuo had the status of a Ning family, he did not benefit much from it during his childhood. Zhu Xuanji felt sorry!
He was like seeing a drowning person, shouting, reaching out his hand, wanting to save him. But the drowning person would rather sink. Therefore, Zhu Xuanji also felt powerless, pitiful, indignant, and hated him for not fighting! A young man like you, with such talent and talent, should not be so willing to fall! So, Zhu Xuanji's eyes turned cold, and he took the initiative to change the subject: "Ning Zhuo, you have seen the play "Fang Qingshi Yuanyuan"." Ning Zhuo: "I have seen it many times." Zhu Xuanji: "You are right. People's empathy is often just watching from the other side of the river." "Often at this time, we need to take action ourselves and try to feel it." "Li Leifeng has performed "Fang Qingshi Yuanyuan" for you many times. You always stand in the audience and watch, and you always think that you are still the little thief who used to steal food in the audience." "No!" "Today, you are different." "You are the one standing on the stage. Do you know that Li Leifeng also expects you to stand on the stage." "He once thought that you would stand out at the age of six and gradually go on stage." Ning Zhuo's heart moved slightly. Zhu Xuanji continued: "Li Leifeng has passed away. He didn't see you come to prominence during his lifetime. This is a regret for him." "Go make up for this regret." "Go and perform the play "Fang Xi Qing Yuan" "Try it, stand in Li Leifeng's perspective, perform a puppet show, and experience his situation and feelings." Ning Zhuo hesitated: "This..." Zhu Xuanji's eyes were deep: "Don't tell me that your puppet manipulation skills are not good." Ning Zhuo shook his head: "Of course not..." Zhu Xuanji showed his strength and interrupted: "You may not know that he has given you many chances." "Now I am also giving you opportunities." "You should give yourself a chance too." "Go on stage." "Although Li Leifeng has passed away, I believe that he still leaves light for you to guide you to the right path!" At this point, Ning Zhuo has guessed that the flaw is likely to come from Li Leifeng. But the confrontation between him and Zhu Xuanji has reached this level. He has been under siege and has no way to refuse. He can only obey the order.
After receiving Zhu Xuanji's message, Zhu Hou immediately made arrangements. The elder who presided over the event came on stage and told everyone that although the donation was over, a young genius was willing to go on stage and perform a puppet show to cheer everyone up. Ning Zhuo walked onto the stage like this. He saluted the monks in the audience and the building: "Dear seniors, please allow me to express my gratitude." "When I was young, my family was poor and my life was difficult. I was once favored by Master Li Leifeng and he took care of me many times." "He never asked for anything in return, but only wanted to help others. His character is impressive." "I have seen the old man's puppet show countless times, and it is extremely wonderful. Now, I am also fortunate to learn the skills. Today I will present this puppet show to express my remembrance of Master Li Leifeng and to celebrate Master Zhu's succession." There was a chorus of applause and cheers. The monks were surprised and delighted, and the atmosphere in the building was warm. Before the Jindan War, Ning Zhuo's fame was only spread in a small range among the four major forces. The Ning family knew him well, after all, he brought Ning Xiaoren down. After the Jindan War, Ning Zhuo became widely known due to rumors and other factors. This time, Zhu Xuanji brought him to participate in the ceremony, which impressed everyone. Almost everyone speculated that Ning Zhuo had caught Zhu Xuanji's eye and had become a big shot. Because of Zhu Xuanji, Ning Zhuo was taken more seriously. Now, this rising star of the righteous path personally took the stage to perform a puppet show, and everyone was very interested. Regardless of the performance, many people have already had the idea in their hearts-to make additional donations after the show. After all, supporting Ning Zhuo is supporting Zhu Xuanji! People in the righteous path are quite aware of the current situation.
