"If it weren't for the accident that year, this seat would have belonged to Dad. If anyone really wanted to snatch it, it should have been Ning Tao, right?"

Ning Zhishui asked him back, his voice full of resentment, "Grandpa, you should know that Daddy has immortal bones. His future cultivation will be unhindered and he will only become stronger than you. Besides, you should also be aware of the character of my father and Ning Tao. You should also know which of the two is more suitable to be the head of the family and who will lead the Ning family further and further away."

This kind of resentment is very justified and can be forgiven.

Who made daddy say that I have immortal bones?

Although Ning Zhongfeng was cunning and his emotions could not be seen from his appearance, Ning Zhishui knew that he must be shocked, regretful and surprised.

So instead of pretending to be close to him, it is better to show some sincere resentment, because this is more reasonable.

Otherwise, if they pretend too much, the old man will suspect that their family has ulterior motives.

"Your father wants to be the head of the family, so how is he better than Ning Tao?" the old man asked again.

Ning Zhishui became even more confused.

Is this a question I should ask myself?

[Is this old man getting senile? ]

"My father has a righteous heart and a broad mind, and he possesses immortal bones and a promising future. Unlike Ning Tao, who has been embezzling countless wealth while serving as the steward for many years, and the family has long been complaining about him. Moreover, Ning Tao's children are all unsuccessful and unfit for important tasks. My eldest brother is an inner disciple of the Lingshan Sect and is highly regarded by the sect. My second brother is from the Zhengyang Sect, one of the three major sects. As for me, I am a disciple of the Xianlai Sect... Based on these factors alone, we are far more suitable than Ning Tao."

[That should be enough. As for the fact that I'm the disciple of the Xianlai Sect's Grand Elder, or that I possess the Five Spiritual Roots, there's no need to mention it. He'd probably think I was talking nonsense if I did.]

[As for my aunt, she should have good news in a few days. The Hexian Sect will definitely accept her.]

[Not to mention my mother, who is also a future medical genius! ]

[I wonder if this old man has the foresight to keep us here... If he makes the wrong choice and still insists on choosing Ning Tao, then the Ning family is doomed.]

“Ahem…”

Ning Zhongfeng suddenly covered his chest and coughed. This simple action seemed to take half his life away, and his breathing became very rapid.

"Are you okay? How about I ask them to come over?"

Ning Zhishui leaned towards the door worriedly.

[He won't die here, will he?]

[Then I can’t explain myself clearly.]

Ning Zhongfeng originally wanted to ask many more questions, but he was exhausted and had to give up.

So he nodded towards Ning Zhishui.

Ning Zhishui finally breathed a sigh of relief and walked forward to open the door. "We're done talking, come over here."

After Ning Tao and the others returned to the house, Ning Zhongfeng asked Cheng Hai to help him up.

Then, he took out a medicine bottle from under his pillow, took out a pill with trembling hands and put it into his mouth.

As the pill took his medicine, the old man seemed to recover some of his condition. The most obvious change was that he spoke with more strength.

"Since you're all here, let's settle this matter today... Ning Tao, go and invite all the elders over and tell them that I'm going to announce the new head of the family."

Ning Zhongfeng said.

Ning Tao was stunned for a moment, then he was overjoyed, "Yes!"

With that, he trotted away.

This old man is finally going to pass the position of head of the family to me!

Why me? Is there any need to explain it?

The old man only had a few days left to live, and his attitude towards me had obviously softened in the past few days.

If it’s not for myself, could it be for Ning Cheng who just arrived?

But don't be ridiculous, this is simply impossible!

They only talked for that long in total. Even if Ning Cheng really had a way to change the old man's mind, it would be impossible to do it in such a short time.

Therefore, the most reasonable explanation is that Ning Cheng or his daughter said something to anger the old man, which made the old man decide on the spot to pass the position of head of the family to himself!

Ning Tao originally felt a little regretful about inviting this family into the house, but now he was just happy.

Ning Cheng and Ren Muqing looked at each other, both a little panicked.

how so?

Ning Cheng had just spoken to Ning Zhongfeng, but he only talked about the condition of his immortal bones and told him the truth about his plan of coming here this time.

While he was speaking, it was not known whether Ning Zhongfeng had no strength or was just skeptical. In any case, he didn't say a word the entire time, only asking questions occasionally.

Then it was the daughter's turn to talk to Ning Zhongfeng, but the conversation didn't last long.

But why did Ning Zhongfeng decide on the candidate for the head of the family just after they finished speaking?

Ning Cheng naturally didn't think that he would be the candidate, because he was the only one who said it and he had no time to verify it. It was impossible for Ning Zhongfeng to believe him so rashly.

So... their arrival actually prompted Ning Zhongfeng to pass the position to Ning Tao?

Ning Zhishui also frowned.

[What's going on? Why did he suddenly do this?]

[He's so satisfied with Ning Tao that he doesn't believe what my father and I say at all?]

Ning Zhishui had the same idea as Ning Cheng and Ning Tao. They didn't think that their family could convince Ning Zhongfeng in such a short time. And now that he said he wanted to pass on the throne, it was most likely to Ning Tao.

This is really speechless.

Did my tone offend him?

The clan elders arrived within a quarter of an hour. When they heard that a new head of the family was going to be appointed, no one dared to delay for a moment.

Ning Zhongfeng put on his coat and walked to the front hall with Cheng Hai's support. At this time, the front hall was almost full.

"Why was the position of the Patriarch suddenly decided? What happened?"

"Yeah, it was too sudden!"

"Ning Cheng is here too? Is it because of him?"

The clan members couldn't help but discuss it.

As they spoke, they looked towards Ning Tao.

Ning Tao sat on a chair with a determined smile on his face, drinking tea slowly.

This confident look really illustrates this situation...

Everyone's mind was in turmoil.

Seeing that everyone was gathered, Ning Zhongfeng didn't waste any words and directly announced it -

"I will pass the position of Patriarch to Ning Cheng."

Ning Zhongfeng spoke fluently, but his voice was a little hoarse, and he coughed a few times after he finished speaking.

Everyone looked as if they had been struck by lightning and were stunned.

The smile on Ning Tao's face froze. He slowly turned his head to look at Ning Zhongfeng who was sitting in the main seat. "Dad, my name is Ning Tao."

He warned out loud.

How could it be Ning Cheng? The old man must be confused, so he said the wrong thing and remembered the wrong name.

Ning Cheng was also a little suspicious.

Hearing his own name from Ning Zhongfeng's mouth at this moment felt like a dream and was extremely inappropriate.

"Yes, it's your elder brother, Ning Cheng." Ning Zhongfeng said, covering his chest.

Now, the whole place was silent.
