Ning Zhuo looked solemn, and after discussing with the two of them, he decided to agree to the ransom again and let Ning Xiangguo go again. Ning Zhuo comforted his uncle and aunt, and immediately went to meet Ning, the ancestor of the Ning family, and explained the situation to him. Ning Yifan asked Ning Zhuo, what do you think? Ning Zhuo said: "I thought it was because I took part in the imperial examination and had a good record. Obviously, many people didn't want to see me win like this. So, they used dirty tricks to distract me from my energy. and time.” Ning then stroked his beard and looked at Ning Zhuo with admiration in his eyes. In his opinion, Ning Zhuo's record was not only "good", it was simply outstanding beyond imagination. The latter can win in the duels with many Jindan monks, losing less and winning more. This is unique among the monks in the Qi refining stage. Even Meng Chong cannot compare to Ning Zhuo. "It's quite normal for you to be targeted. It's good that you can see the essence." Ning said, "So, there is no hope of getting your cousin back with a ransom. What are you going to do?" Ning Yifan is still testing Ning Zhuo. Ning Zhuo sighed and looked at Ning Yifan with a sad face: "Ancestor, although I am not close to my uncle's family. To be honest, I have been dependent on others for a long time, and they have treated me with a lot of cold eyes and low treatment." "But first of all, they are my closest blood relatives in this world. Secondly, part of my ability to grow up is due to their protection."
"It is impossible for me to ignore them, both emotionally and rationally." "If you are poor, you can do well for yourself, but if you are rich, you can help the world. Therefore, when I achieve a little bit, I want to repay them and repay this kindness." "In this situation, I know that this is the enemy's conspiracy, but I can only fall into the trap and give in." After Ning Junfan heard these words, he couldn't help stroking his beard again and sighed: "Oh, you kid..." He stopped abruptly, but in his heart he was very satisfied with Ning Zhuo. Ning Zhuo usually doesn't follow the rules and always calls for family separation, but after all, he is a member of the Ning family and is very persistent in family ties. Ning Jiufan had already reviewed Ning Zhuo's information and knew that Ning Zui's family was not only treating Ning Zhuo poorly and coldly, but also being indifferent and treating Ning Zhuo as a burden. This can be seen from "Ning Zhuo lost his mother when he was two years old, but it was not until a few years later that he was adopted by Ning Zui's family." Even so, Ning Zhuo still treated Ning Cui's family so leniently. At the gate of the palace examination, Ning Ji still refused to give up and was willing to fall into the trap. This kind of "submission" gesture moved Ning Yifan quite a lot. "To recognize a person, you must not only see what he says, but also what he does." "Ning Zhuo, this kid, yes, he is pure and gentle at heart." "What a good seedling!" "With such caliber and structure, if he serves as the clan leader in the future, it may be a good thing for the entire family." Ning Jiufan has already accumulated more and more disappointment and dissatisfaction with the current main line of the Ning family. Every time Ning Zhuo mentioned the separation of the family in front of him, quantitative changes led to qualitative changes, and Ning Jingfan began to really imagine Ning Zhuo being the master of the family in the future. Ning Jiufan said: "You don't need to worry about this matter. I will make arrangements." Ning Zhuo became nervous: "Ancestor, do you want to do it yourself? This is not possible!" "You are our Ning family's greatest hope." "The next imperial examination can be done without me, but it definitely can't be done without you!"
"The reason why I performed well was just taking advantage of the rules of the imperial examination." "I would rather my energy and time be involved, but you must not do it, ancestor. If you do this, the enemy will probably wake up laughing even in his sleep!" Seeing Ning Zhuo's nervous look, Ning Jiu was comforted by Fan Laohuai and couldn't help but reach out and stroke Ning Zhuo's head. This is the first time Ning Yifan has done such an intimate act. Not to mention, this big head feels pretty good! "Ancestor, I have my own sense of discretion. Xiao Zhuo, you don't have to worry." "Don't underestimate yourself. The second round of palace examinations is now underway, and everyone can see that the palace examinations in Lava Immortal Palace are very biased towards testing the disciples." "You have transferred to the Five Elements Qi Law Technique, and you are one of our own in the Lava Immortal Palace. For the next palace examination, the advantage of this level of status cannot be ignored." "Next, only the two of us from the Ning family will be left to participate in the palace examination. We must go hand in hand. Even if we cannot obtain the position of palace master, we can still seek other high-level positions and lay a solid foundation for the Ning family to gain a foothold in the Fire Persimmon Immortal City in the future. Solid foundation!” "Ancestor, I will take care of this little storm for you. Next, you have to go all out and don't get distracted by trivial matters outside." Ning Zhuo was so moved that his eyes turned red, and he immediately bowed deeply. It's not surprising that Ning Zhuo got Ning Yifan's protection. The latter's performance was also one of the situations he predicted. After he resigned, he immediately summoned Ning Xiangguo and told the latter that he was protected by his ancestor and would do his best to test the palace and no longer interfere with external affairs. Ning Xiangguo immediately showed a hint of joy. Congratulations to Ning Zhuo for being so recognized and loved by his ancestor. He has a broad and bright future. He strongly agreed with Ning Yifan's view. This must be a trick by the enemy to involve Ning Zhuo. If Ning Zhuo is affected, the entire Ning family will be affected. The enemy must not be allowed to succeed! Despite Ning Xiangguo's rhetoric, Ning Zhuo understood the latter's identity as a traitor. It was the City Lord's Mansion that Ning Xiangguo secretly sought refuge with. According to the subsequent information from the dragon turtle fire spirit, Ning Zhuo also knew that the masked men were the black gloves of the city lord's palace. The masked killer is good at using poisonous insects. He once attacked the genius monks of the three families. Ning Xiangguo himself did not know the real camp of the masked man. But this did not prevent him from sending his own information to the secret line at a fixed time. The secret line of the City Lord's Mansion received this information and immediately presented it to the superior. The superior became anxious when he saw it. It was not easy to find a way to interfere with Ning Zhuo, but it was broken by Ning Jiufan. This immediately made the superior have a strong malice, and he wanted to squeeze out all the value of Ning Ji while he was still effective, so that his death would cause a major impact on Ning Zhuo's mind! "Although Ning Zhuo is a genius, he is still only a sixteen-year-old child." "Even if he has a weak relationship with his uncle's family, as long as Ning Ji dies, I still have a backup plan. I can spread rumors and ruin Ning Zhuo's reputation as a righteous person, making him depressed and irritable." The superior quickly reported his opinions. The action plan was finally delivered to Fei Si. "Ning Zhuo..." Fei Si sighed, and the image of Ning Zhuo bowing to him and being respectful appeared in front of him again.
But Fei Si could sense the fire burning in Ning Zhuo's eyes. "You, kid, are finally blocking the way of my Meng family." No matter how much Fei Si admired Ning Zhuo, it was impossible for him to sacrifice his own interests for him. Fei Si was attached to Meng Kui, and if the interests of the Meng family were damaged, his interests would be damaged. So, he used his vicious and sinister wisdom to improve the entire action plan. After the superiors received Fei Si's instructions, they thought more and more ingenious, and sighed "It's worthy of Master Fei Si" while executing it with all their strength. Soon, the masked man received the order to take action and came to Ning Ji. "You are going to die!" "Ning Zhuo watched you die without saving you." "Before you die, do you have anything to say?" Ning Ji was shocked, shouted impossible, and begged bitterly. The masked man tortured him severely, and Ning Ji was tortured to the point of wanting to die. He cursed the masked man, Ning Zhuo, and others, and vented his anger and regret before he died. Ning surrendered and issued instructions, ordering a group of family experts to raid the location of the kidnappers and forcibly rescue Ning Ji, leaving no room for the enemy to play tricks. Ning Xiangguo also received a secret order from the City Lord's Mansion. Through the operation of other secret lines, he led a group of confidants and successfully mixed into the action team. Ning Ji died. The rescue mission failed. But Ning Xiangguo succeeded! He intercepted Ning Xiaohui's grandmother who was trying to escape and captured her. He sent the evidence of the latter's kidnapping of Ning Ji, along with the person, to Ning Zhuo. Ning Zhuo saw the evidence, and in front of Ning Xiangguo, his face was as gloomy as water, and he was so angry that he directly crushed the cup in his hand. When there was no one around, his eyes were dim and his heart was cold. He felt the coldness, which was the coldness from the superior. Ning Jufan didn't care about Ning Ji's life safety at all, he cared about the interests of the Ning family. Therefore, he deliberately asked Ning Zhuo, and after understanding Ning Zhuo's "true feelings", he had no scruples and took action directly. Regardless of success or failure, he had to make a final decision and try to end this matter. Fei Si was not only cold, but also more sinister. He decisively activated Ning Xiangguo as a chess piece and sent Ning Xiaohui's grandmother to Ning Zhuo's hands. Because he knew: Ning Zhuo was extremely disgusted with the main line of the Ning family and had a deep hatred. Now, when he knew that Ning Xiaohui's grandmother was the murderer who kidnapped his cousin Ning Ji, what would Ning Zhuo do? Ning Zhuo would probably make a fuss! He would be angry, excited, unstable, and his own environment would also be unstable. Ning Zhuo would become a bomb in the Ning family camp! Fei Si's poison can be seen. And he only sent out a crazy old woman, and held Ning Xiaoren as a backhand. He used all his tricks, and he was a good strategist. As for Ning Ji?
Haha. Who really cares about the life and death of such a small person? Perhaps, only his biological parents. "The life of a small person is too fragile." In the dim light of the house, Ning Zhuo's eyes flickered. Ning Ji's life took a sharp turn for the worse. He was in glory and flattered one moment, and became a hostage and tortured to death the next moment. It was just because he was involved in the secret struggle of the top leaders. He was like a piece of debris, crushed by the millstones of two forces. Ning Zhuo thought of himself. He knew very well that the reason why he could win the favor of Ning Jiufan was largely because he showed his value, especially after the death of Ning Xiaohui. Compared with Ning Jiufan and Fei Si, he was a small person. Compared with the Meng family and the royal family of the Zhu family of Nandou State, he was also a small person. If he was not careful, he would be ruthlessly crushed. Just like Ning Ji. The only difference may be that Ning Ji did not know the truth until his death. Ning Zhuo may know more and die with a clear mind. For Ning Zhuo, this situation was actually better than his plan. He acted quickly. The Ning family cultivators who were arranged to the Lava Fairy Palace included representatives from all the main branches of the Ning family. Ning Zhuo first had a secret discussion with them, and after reaching an agreement, he contacted the Ning family head's line. This sudden situation shocked the Ning family head so much that he used the emergency transmission route and rushed to the Lava Fairy Palace in person to have a secret meeting with Ning Zhuo. Ning Zhuo expressed his position very directly: Grandma Ning Xiaohui, a member of the main vein, kidnapped the younger generation of the branch vein and threatened the young genius among the younger generations of the family. If this matter is exposed, it will be a huge blow to the main vein and you, the clan leader! But I, Ning Zhuo, am unwilling to expose this matter for the sake of the family and the overall situation. But if you, the main vein, want to cover this matter, you have to pay a price! ! The head of the Ning family was livid: "The price is to agree to your separation? This is absolutely not possible!" Ning Zhuo smiled: "Other branches of the main vein have agreed. What's the point of you insisting alone, clan leader?" The head of the Ning family was determined. During his term of office, the separation of the family would definitely be a major stain in his governance! But Ning Zhuo had already taken him: "The so-called price can be negotiated." "Clan leader, don't you want your son to return to the family?"
