Chapter 307 Little People

Ning Zhuo's face was solemn. 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, then immediately went to see Ning family's ancestor Ning Shushan and explained the situation to him.

Ning Jufan asked Ning Zhuo, what do you think?

Ning Zhuo said: "I thought it was because I participated in the palace examination and performed well. Obviously, many people don't want to see me win like this. So, they used despicable means to take up my energy and time."

Ning Fan stroked his beard and looked at Ning Zhuo with admiration in his eyes.

In his opinion, Ning Zhuo's record was more than "good", it was simply excellent beyond imagination. The latter was able to win in the duels with many Jindan cultivators, with more victories than defeats. This was unique among the cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage, and even Meng Chong could not compare to Ning Zhuo.

"It's quite normal for you to be targeted. It's also good that you can see the essence of this." Ning Fan said, "So, there is no hope of getting your cousin back by ransom. What are you going to do?"

Ning Yufen is still under the test and is more clumsy than Ning Chu.

Ning Zhuo sighed and looked at Ning Jiufan with a sad face: "Grandfather, although I am not close to my uncle's family. To be honest, I have been living under someone else's roof for a long time, and they have treated me coldly and poorly."

"But firstly, they are my closest blood relatives in this world. Secondly, I was able to grow up partly because of their protection."

"It is impossible for me to ignore them emotionally and logically."

“When you are poor, you should take care of yourself; when you are rich, you should help the world. Therefore, when I achieve a little success, I will think about giving back to them and repaying their kindness.”

"In this situation, I know this is the enemy's conspiracy, but I can only accept it."

After hearing these words, Ning Jiufan couldn't help but stroke his beard again and sighed: "Alas, you kid..."

He stopped talking abruptly, but in his heart he was very satisfied with Ning Zhu.

Ning Zhuo is usually out of tune and always shouts about dividing the family, but he is a member of the Ning family after all and is very attached to his family.

Ning Jiufan had already checked Ning Zhuo's intelligence and knew that Ning Ze's family treated Ning Zhuo with indifference and indifference, and regarded him as a burden. This can be seen from the fact that "Ning Zhuo lost his mother at the age of two, but was adopted by Ning Ze's family several years later."

Even so, Ning Zhuo still treated Ning Ze's family so leniently. At the juncture of the palace examination, he was still unwilling to give up Ning Ji and was willing to fall into the trap.

Ning Ruoshu was quite moved by this attitude of "surrender".

"To know a person well, you should not only look at what he says, but also what he does."

"Ning Zhuo is a good kid. He is kind and gentle at heart."

"It's a good seedling!"

"With such a broad mind and vision, if he becomes 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 branch of the Ning family.

Every time Ning Zhuo mentioned dividing the family in front of him, quantitative change led to qualitative change, and Ning began to really imagine the situation where Ning Zhuo would be the head of the family in the future.

Ning said, "You don't have to worry about this matter. I'll take care of it."

Ning Zhuo became nervous: "Grandfather, are you going to do it yourself? This is not allowed!"

"You are the greatest hope of our Ning family."

"I can take part in the upcoming palace examination without you, but I definitely can't do it without you!"

"The reason why I performed well was just because I took advantage of the palace examination rules."

"I would rather my energy and time be wasted, but you, old ancestor, must not do that. If you do that, the enemy will probably wake up laughing even in his sleep!"

Seeing Ning Zhuo's nervous look, Ning Jiufan felt very relieved and couldn't help but reach out and touch Ning Zhuo's head.

This was the first time that Ning Jufan had done such an intimate act.

You know what, this big head feels pretty good!

"I know what I am doing, you don't need to worry."

"Don't underestimate yourself. As the second round of palace examinations has been going on for now, everyone can see that the Lava Fairy Palace's palace examinations are very biased towards trial disciples."

"You have switched to practicing the Five Elements Qi Law, which means you are a member of the Lava Immortal Palace. In the upcoming palace examination, this advantage of status cannot be ignored."

"Next, there will be only two of us in our Ning family participating in the palace examination. We must make progress together. Even if we cannot obtain the position of Palace Master, we can still seek other high-ranking positions and lay a solid foundation for the Ning family to gain a foothold in Huoshi Xiancheng in the future!"

"I, Old Ancestor, will take care of this minor storm for you. From now on, you must go all out and not be distracted by trivial matters outside."

Ning Zhuo was so moved that his eyes turned red and he bowed deeply.

It was not surprising that Ning Zhuo was protected by Ning Jiufan. The latter's performance was also one of the situations he expected.

After he took his leave, he immediately called Ning Xiangguo and told him that he was under the protection of the ancestor and would focus on the palace examination and would no longer be concerned with trivial matters in the outside world.

Ning Xiangguo immediately showed a hint of joy, congratulating Ning Zhuo for being so recognized and loved by his own ancestor, and that his future prospects were broad and bright. He agreed very much with Ning Jufan's view that this must be a trick of the enemy to implicate Ning Zhuo. If Ning Zhuo was affected, the entire Ning family would be affected, and the enemy must not be allowed to succeed!
Despite Ning Xiangguo's exaggerated words, Ning Zhuo understood the latter's identity as a traitor.

Ning Xiangguo secretly took refuge with the City Lord's Mansion.

According to the subsequent intelligence from the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit, Ning Zhuo also knew that the masked group was the black gloves of the City Lord's Mansion.

The masked killer is good at using poisonous insects and has once plotted against talented monks from three families.

Ning Xiangguo himself did not know the real camp of the masked man's group. But this did not prevent him from sending his intelligence to the secret line at a fixed time.

The secret agent in the City Lord's Mansion received this information and immediately reported it to his superiors.

When the superiors saw this, they immediately became anxious.

After much difficulty, he found a way to interfere with Ning Zhuo, but it was interrupted by Ning Jiufan.

This immediately aroused strong malice among the superiors. They wanted to squeeze out all the value of Ning Ji while he was still effective and let his death cause a major shock to Ning Zhuo's mind!

"Although Ning Zhuo is a genius, he is still only a sixteen-year-old child."

"Even if he has little relationship with my 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 angry."

The superiors quickly reported their opinions, and the action plan was finally delivered to Fei Si.

"Ning Zhuo..." Fei Si sighed, and the image of Ning Zhuo bowing to him with utmost respect appeared in front of him again.

But Feisi could sense the fire burning in Ning Zhuo's eyes.

"You, kid, are finally blocking the way for my Meng family."

No matter how much Fei Si admires Ning Zhuo, it is impossible for her to sacrifice her own interests for him.

Fei Si depends on Meng Kui, so if the interests of the Meng family are damaged, his interests will be damaged.

So, he used his vicious and sinister wisdom to improve the entire plan of action.

After the superiors received Fei Si's instructions, the more they thought about it, the more ingenious they found it. While sighing "You are worthy of being Lord Fei Si," they did their best to carry out the instructions.

Soon, the masked man received the order to take action and came in front of Ning Ji.

"You're going to die!"

"I would rather watch you die than save you."

"Before you die, do you have anything to say?"

Ning Ji was horrified, screamed that it was impossible, and begged desperately.

The masked man tortured him severely. Ning Ji was tortured to the point of being in excruciating pain. He cursed the masked man, Ning Zhuo and others, and vented his rage and regret before he died.

Ning Yushan gave instructions and ordered a group of family experts to raid the kidnappers' location and forcibly rescue Ning Ji, leaving no room for the enemy to plot or scheme.

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 is dead.

The rescue mission failed.

But Ning Xiangguo succeeded!

He intercepted Grandma Ning Xiaohui who was trying to escape and captured her. He sent the evidence of the latter's kidnapping of Ning Ji, as well as the person, to Ning Zhuo.

Ning Zhuo saw the evidence and his face turned gloomy in front of Ning Xiangguo. He was so angry that he crushed the cup in his hand.

When there was no one around, his eyes became dim and his heart felt cold.

He felt the coldness, the coldness coming from the superior.

Ning Juefan didn't care about Ning Ji's life safety at all, he cared about the interests of the Ning family. So, 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 is not only cold-blooded, but also more vicious. 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 branch 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 will most likely make a scene! He will be angry, excited, and unstable, and his environment will also be unstable.

Ning Zhuo will become a bomb in the Ning family camp!
The venom of Fei Si can be seen from this.

Moreover, he only sent out a crazy old woman, and also detained Ning Xiaoren as a backup. He used all his tricks, which showed that he was a good strategist.

As for Ning Ji?

Ah.

For such a small person, who really cares about his life or death?
Perhaps, it is only his biological parents.

"The life of a small person is too fragile." Inside the house, in the dim light, Ning Zhuo's eyes flickered.

Ning Ji's life took a sharp turn for the worse. One moment he was in glory and had people flattering him, and the next moment he was taken hostage and tortured to death.

It was just because he was involved in the secret struggle among the top leaders.

He was like a crumb, crushed to pieces by the millstones of two forces.

Ning Zhuo thought of himself.

He knew very well that a big reason why he won Ning Jufan's favor was that he had demonstrated his value, especially after Ning Xiaohui's death.

Compared with Ning Jiufan and Fei Si, he was a nobody. Compared with the Meng family and the royal family of the Nandou Kingdom, Zhu family, he was also a nobody.

If he is not careful, he will be ruthlessly crushed.

Just like Ning Ji.

The only difference may be that Ning Ji did not know the truth until his death, while Ning Zhuo may know more clearly and die with a clear understanding.

For Ning Zhuo, this situation is actually better than what he had planned.

He acted quickly.

The Ning family cultivators who were assigned to the Lava Immortal Palace included representatives from each of the Ning family's main branches.

Ning Zhuo first had secret talks with them and only after reaching an agreement did he contact the Ning family's patriarch's line.

This sudden situation frightened the head of the Ning family so much that he used the emergency transmission route and rushed to the Lava Fairy Palace in person to have a secret conversation with Ning Zhuo.

Ning Zhuo's statement was very direct: Grandma Ning Xiaohui, a member of the main lineage, kidnapped the younger generation of the branch lineage and threatened the young genius among the younger generations of the family. If this matter were to be exposed, it would be a huge blow to the main lineage and to you, the clan leader!

But I, for the sake of the family and the overall situation, do not want to expose this matter. But if you, the main branch, want to cover up this matter, you will have to pay a price! !

The head of the Ning family looked livid: "This price is to agree to your division of the family? This is absolutely not possible!"

Ning Zhuo smiled and said, "All the other branches of the main vein have agreed. What's the point of you insisting on it alone, clan leader?"

The head of the Ning family is resolute in his attitude. Any split of the family during his term of office is definitely a major stain on his governance!
But Ning Zhuo had already decided on him: "The so-called price can be negotiated."

"Master Patriarch, don't you want your son to return to the family?"
