“I heard it from my sister. She said there’s a permanently sealed house in the villa complex where she lives. It seems to be where the Ning family’s eldest daughter used to live, but because of the Ning family’s rules, no one dares to go in and check!” Kui Yuan explained.

Jiang Yuan's eyes deepened. What he needed to determine now was whether Ning Yanlan and her parents were related by blood. If they were, it would prove that Ning Yanlan was an independent individual, not just the life soul of a companion god.

"Do you know where that house is?" Jiang Yuan pressed.

"I don't know!" Kui Yuan shook his head like a rattle drum.

Jiang Yuan nodded slightly. The Ning family manor wasn't very big, so finding a house for Ning Yanlan to stay in wouldn't be difficult. The key issue now was getting back the Insight from Kui Yuan, but taking direct action might alert Kui Mu, which was giving him a headache.

"By the way, I have a deal with you. Are you willing?" Jiang Yuan still intended to let Kui Yuan agree on his own so as not to disturb anyone.

Before Jiang Yuan could speak, Kui Yuan directly refused, saying, "My sister doesn't allow me to do business with anyone, saying she's afraid I'll be scammed!"

Jiang Yuan: "..."

What kind of person is Kui Mu? Is he some kind of brother-supporting demon?

“Sometimes, you can’t always rely on your sister. You need to learn to make your own decisions. Only in this way can you face the wonders of this world on your own!” Jiang Yuan coaxed patiently.

Kuiyuan seemed to be missing a screw in his head, and just kept shaking his head.

Seeing this, Jiang Yuan was at a loss. He could either use the "All" technique to knock the fool unconscious and then use his insight, but the result was obvious: it would definitely alert Kui Mu.

"Forget it, let's deal with Ning Yanlan's matter first before resorting to force!"

He had considered that if he forcibly retrieved the Insight now, his actions within the Ning family would be restricted, which was not the outcome he desired.

"We've been chatting for so long, and I still don't know your name?" Kui Yuan asked tentatively.

"Aoki!"

Jiang Yuan revealed his previous alias, then stood up and said, "Then you should rest first. I just joined the Ning family and have some things to take care of!"

After Jiang Yuan finished speaking, he also left behind a few pills. These pills could cleanse the marrow and refine the essence within a small area. Although they had no effect on him, they were undoubtedly a great treasure for ordinary Spirit Awakeners.

He had just stepped out of Kuiyuan's room when he bumped into Zhao Kai.

Zhao Kai, who had been anxious, breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Jiang Yuan. He grabbed Jiang Yuan's wrist and let out a long sigh of relief.

"Brother, don't you feel awkward holding me like this?" Jiang Yuan felt uneasy and even suspected that this guy was gay.

"Forehead!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Kai let go of her hand with slight embarrassment. He slapped his forehead and explained, "Don't misunderstand, don't misunderstand. I came to see the family head!"

"To see the patriarch?" Jiang Yuan asked in surprise.

"I won't explain now, just come with me and you'll see!"

Zhao Kai urged Jiang Yuan to come with him, and Jiang Yuan didn't think much of it; how could he refuse something that was exactly what he wanted?

"Master, the person has been brought over!"

Jiang Yuan followed Zhao Kai into a luxurious medieval-style fortress, where Ning Zhengguo was already waiting. Besides him, there were several other people present.

"It was him?"

As soon as Jiang Yuan arrived, he was met with questioning glances from Kui Mu, whom he had just met not long ago.

"Mu'er, do you know him?" Ning Zhengguo asked in surprise.

Kui Mu denied it decisively, saying, "I don't know him!"

Ning Zhengguo nodded slightly, looked at the people present, and said, "Since everyone is here, I'll get straight to the point!"

"Since you have all become guests of the Ning family, you are now part of the Ning family. Although the Ning family is not a top-tier power, it is still a prominent family in Ancheng, so you can rest assured about your future!"

"Of course, the future of the Ning family is your future, and the glory of the Ning family is your glory. Now, the Ning family needs you to fight for your own glory!"

After saying a few words, Ning Zhengguo stopped to observe the others' reactions.

However, the people present already knew what was going on, so Ning Zhengguo didn't seem surprised when he said these words. They knew that there was no free lunch in this world, and that if you wanted high treatment, you had to make corresponding contributions.

"The Ning family controls three ley lines, two of which are spirit-grade stone mines and the other is a holy spirit crystal mine. However, other forces have been constantly encroaching on the Ning family's holy spirit crystal mine. A few days ago, the Ning family, unable to bear the harassment any longer, reached an agreement with other forces: completing three battles would determine the ownership and distribution of this holy spirit crystal mine."

At this point, Ning Zhengguo focused his attention on the retainers and advisors in front of him.

"I will obey the orders of the patriarch!"

Except for Jiang Yuan, who was 'ungrateful,' everyone else adopted a respectful posture, and Jiang Yuan's actions caused Ning Zhengguo to show a strange expression.

“Alright, since that’s the case, I’ll get straight to the point. These three battles are divided into the Void Spirit Realm, the True Spirit Realm, and the Heavenly Spirit Realm. Therefore, I plan to select three people from all my retainers to fight for my Ning family!” Ning Zhengguo said.

"Patriarch, I can do it. I am at the ninth level of the True Spirit Realm, and I am more than qualified..." Deng Shan was about to speak, but when his gaze fell on Jiang Yuan beside him, he swallowed his boastful words.

"I'll go, I'm in the Heavenly Spirit Realm!" Kui Mu volunteered.

"Wait, this time it's not a question of whether to go or not, it's a question of whether we can win!"

Before the Void Spirit Realm cultivators could even announce their names, Ning Zhengguo interrupted them, saying solemnly, "If we lose two matches this time, half of this Holy Spirit Crystal Mine will have to be given to other forces. Therefore, the Ning family absolutely cannot lose!"

"this……"
