Cabinet Meeting Room in Kyoto.
The great elder Zhang Tao spoke with an embarrassed look on his face. He said that at first he really just couldn't stand the recent events of the Ning family, or was upset. After all, they saw everything Ning Yuan did clearly through his resume.
Ning Yuan has paid so much for the Ning family.
How could these people dare to treat Ning Yuan like this?
Not only did he try his best to heal his injuries and repair his damaged martial arts foundation, he even dared to ask him to do things that only inferior people would do, and even drove him out of the Ning family and removed his name from the family tree.
Such behavior is no longer ungrateful or ungrateful. What they did is simply outrageous to both heaven and man.
Ning Yuan is your Ning Dehai's biological son. How can you ignore your own son and treat him like garbage for the sake of your family and your own selfish interests?
It is said that there are only unfilial children in the world, but no bad parents.
However, for them, it is just the opposite.
Ning Yuan's filial piety and loyalty are rare in ancient and modern times.
However, Ning Dehai's behavior as a father is rare in ancient and modern times and is almost unique.
Although reality is often more cruel, and there must be some dirt and darkness in some invisible places, your Ning family is not an ordinary family. It is a first-class family in Binhai City. Even in the whole country, it is enough to rank among the top 100.
How could you do such a shameless thing!
Therefore, after listening to Qin Shuai's story, Zhang Tao became furious and immediately ordered that the Ning family would completely lose the privilege of using merit to offset military service from now on, and all disciples going to serve in the military must report to the Western Frontier Cave Battlefield.
He even asked the Ministry of Commerce to thoroughly investigate all the industries of the Ning family.
The final result was beyond his expectations. These people from the Ning family actually did such a cruel thing for the sake of profit.
He actually plotted to usurp the throne and committed treason, which resulted in the Ning family's head being replaced overnight. Ning Dehai was even beaten to death on the spot. Even Ning Yuan's mother, sister and brother were all imprisoned in the Ning family and were not allowed to move freely.
"Ning Yuan, I'm really sorry. When I heard the Ning family treat you like this, coupled with the fact that we hadn't come up with a plan to deal with the Exotic Beast King Clan, I was really furious."
"So, without careful consideration, these two orders were issued, resulting in your father, Ning Dehai, being killed on the spot by Ning Denan, the current head of the Ning family, in the Ning family's meeting hall."
"I'm very sorry about this. If you want revenge, just come to me. I promise I won't fight back."
"After all, your father's death has a lot to do with me!"
Zhang Tao apologized sincerely and said that if Ning Yuan wanted to take revenge, he could do so at any time. He would never fight back and would not resist at all.
Although he said so, Fang Ming and Wei Ran on the side held their breath and looked at Ning Yuan nervously. They absolutely could not kill Zhang Tao. Even though they knew that they might not be Ning Yuan's opponent, they would never watch Ning Yuan kill Zhang Tao.
However, if this happened in the past, two years ago.
Not to mention Zhang Tao, even all the cabinet elders could not stop Ning Yuan's revenge.
It’s just that the world has become so cold and indifferent over the past two years.
He has already understood that everyone in the Ning family has completely given up on him. No one still cares about him or has even the slightest concern or care for him.
My heart has already died.
From the moment he understood all this and realized it all, he was already disheartened.
As for whether he would feel regret every time he thought of the Ning family because his cultivation had recovered and even reached a higher level, it was just some inner resentment.
After all, he is not a saint and cannot truly let go completely. There will still be some extravagant hopes in his heart, perhaps even he himself has not noticed.
Fifteen years of dedication are not just six simple words, but real emotional investment. It is fifteen years of companionship through life and death, and it is fifteen years that are completely and firmly engraved in his mind.
How is it possible? Just by removing the name from the family tree and severing ties, one can really let go completely and erase everything from the past. It's simply impossible!
"Ning De Nan?"
"That's right, it was he who led the Ning family to force your father, Ning Dehai, to abdicate. Moreover, he concealed the fact that he had broken through to the ninth level. His sudden attack led to your father's death on the spot!"
"However, according to our investigation, your little brother Ning Zhan is not your parents' biological child. Instead, after you entered the catacombs, they orchestrated a scheme to make you pregnant for a year, and ultimately adopted him as an adopted child!"
"Ning Zhan has now broken through to level nine and agreed to become a Ning family servant, enjoying top-tier treatment. When Ning Denan wanted to completely eliminate them, he stood up and protected your mother and sisters. However, their treatment has been drastically reduced, and they are no longer able to move freely!"
When Zhang Tao heard Ning Yuan's doubt, he immediately nodded and answered.
He also recounted what happened that day in detail and repeated the results of the subsequent investigation to Ning Yuan.
Especially Ning Zhan's behavior. After all, he and Ning Yuan are not related by blood. He is just an adopted son adopted by Ning Dehai.
"Okay, I understand!"
"Although Ning Dehai and I have severed our father-son relationship, he is still my father. No matter how he treats me, I can kill him, but I cannot kill Ning Denan!"
"I will handle this matter personally. As for you, Great Elder..."
"Prepare for me the corpses of ten level nine alien beasts as your apology. From now on, this incident will be treated as if it never happened. How about that?"
Ning Yuan looked at Zhang Tao and said to him expressionlessly.
The corpses of ten level nine alien beasts can avoid the possible outcome of death. No matter how you look at it, it is a very cost-effective deal.
Zhang Tao naturally had no objection.
In fact, he didn't want to create any estrangement between him and Ning Yuan.
Especially now that Ning Yuan's cultivation has reached the peak of the True God Realm, and is about to break through to the Saint Realm, he doesn't want to offend Ning Yuan even more.
However, this matter must be proactively stated in advance.
Otherwise, when Ning Yuan finds out about the matter from others in the future, the nature of the matter will change fundamentally.
That's why Zhang Tao risked his life and took the initiative to confess everything.
"call!!"
"No problem, I'll have someone prepare it right now. I guarantee that all of them are the corpses of peak-level ninth-level beasts!"
Zhang Tao agreed readily.
Ning Yuan nodded with satisfaction, and the matter was over.
However, things are not over yet, because there is one more thing that requires Ning Yuan's opinion.
"Only Dragon Nation knows about the Exotic Beast Clan's construction of the altar. The other four alliances are unaware of this. Should we inform them in advance?"
Zhang Tao looked at Ning Yuan and asked again.
