Chapter 76: Defection



Ning Zhishui himself was stunned for a moment.

【How did this person find me? 】

[Also, a closed disciple?]

The last disciple is the one Chang Yin will not accept any other disciples after her.

Even Chang Yin didn’t tell about this, so how did Huai Xiao know about it?

"Know that the water is here, know that the water is here!"

Ning Chengfeng shouted excitedly, pointing at Ning Zhishui.

Huai Xiao turned around and walked towards her, "Junior Sister Ning?"

"I'm Ning Zhishui." Ning Zhishui nodded. "You said, Master asked you to deliver something to me?"

"Exactly. The sect's grand ceremony is coming up soon, and all disciples will need to wear the sect's robes. Since you are the Great Elder's disciple and will be on stage, the robes are essential."

As Huai Xiao spoke, he took out a set of ice-blue clothes, a Qiankun bag, and a token and handed them to her.

The sect's robes are also a symbol of the disciples' status. The senior members can wear whatever they want, but the disciples all have a uniform set of clothes.

The outer sect has its own outer sect, the inner sect has its own inner sect, and if it is a direct disciple, then it is different from the previous two.

This set of ice-blue robes is exclusive to direct disciples.

If it is a man's vestment, the belt around the waist will be dark blue, and if it is a woman's vestment, the belt will be rouge.

The robes of direct disciples not only have cleansing runes, but also weak defensive runes.

Putting aside the significance of the sect's robes, this piece of clothing itself is worth hundreds of crystals.

"Thank you... Senior Brother Huaixiao." Ning Zhishui took the things and said, "But how did you know I was here?"

"I'm on Master's orders to go to the Huanyang Sect. Before I left, the Great Elder instructed me to come find you and deliver the robes and token. I came here after I finished my business." Huai Xiao said, "The Great Elder sent a message yesterday saying that you would come to the Ning family in Beiyu City, so I found out about this place."

He had an undeniably cold aura and a sharp aura, but when he spoke to Ning Zhishui, his eyes were gentle with a hint of curiosity.

Obviously, Huai Xiao was also confused as to why Chang Yin would accept Ning Zhishui as his last disciple.

Chang Yin is not young anymore, but he only had one disciple before. It seemed that he had no plans to take in any more disciples, but who would have thought that he would take in a disciple without saying a word after going out?

Huai Xiao looked at Ning Zhishui, and apart from thinking that she was quiet and precocious, he could not see anything else.

"I see. Thank you for your help, Senior Brother."

Ning Zhishui received a message from her master yesterday, asking her whether she would be in Qingying City tomorrow.

Ning Zhishui didn't know why he asked that at the time, but he still replied that he would go to Beiyu City with his family tomorrow to do some business with his family.

I didn't expect that he would send Huai Xiao to give me a token and clothes.

"It's okay. When are you planning to return to the sect?" Huai Xiao asked her. "The Great Elder was worried that you didn't know the way, so he asked me to take you back."

The two of them were chatting as if no one was around, and everyone around them was stunned.

Everyone believed Huai Xiao's identity, and when they saw him take out the robes of his direct disciple and the sect's token in public, they no longer had any doubts.

Every word Huai Xiao said showed how much the Great Elder valued Ning Zhishui as his disciple.

It's just delivering clothes, wouldn't it be enough to send any disciple? They even sent Huai Xiao, the master's disciple!

Is this the treatment that ordinary people can get?

This scene made many people change their expressions and exchange glances quietly.

Those who originally supported Ning Tao have now been completely shaken and want to switch sides.

They had long forgotten about the Yellow-level weapon refiner.

Not to mention the Yellow level, even if it's the Profound level or Earth level, how can it compare with a Great Elder!

With the Great Elder standing behind Ning Zhishui, it was equivalent to the Xianlai Sect standing behind the Ning family!

You have such a huge thing but you don’t want Ning Tao?

They are not crazy!

Ning Tao watched his people winking at each other. How could he not know what they were thinking?

At this time, let alone letting Ning Cheng be the head of the family, even if Ning Zhishui, that yellow-haired girl, was allowed to be the head of the family, they would probably agree with it wholeheartedly!

Ning Tao's face turned green. He never expected that things would turn out like this.

If he had known this earlier, he would never have welcomed this family into his home!

He admitted that his sense of superiority exploded when he saw Ning Cheng. When Ning Cheng left the Ning family, he was like a stray dog, but that was not enough. He wanted Ning Cheng to see with his own eyes what the Ning family looked like today, and most of his achievements were due to this.

But I didn't expect things to come to this point!

"It turns out to be Zhishui's senior brother."

Ning Zhongfeng took in the changes in everyone's expressions. Even he had not expected this sudden turn of events, but he was very happy about it.

At this time, Ning Zhongfeng stood up with the help of the handrail. Although he was weak and short of breath, he still showed his gentlemanly demeanor and spoke gently and politely.

"Since you're here, why not stay a few days as a guest at my house? My granddaughter Zhishui just arrived today, so why not let her stay for a day or two while you all return to the sect together? It just so happens that tomorrow is the day Zhishui's father will take over as the head of the family, so you can stay and bear witness."

"father!"

Ning Tao was shocked.

How can Ning Cheng succeed as the head of the family?

"Ning Tao, there are guests here, don't be rude." Ning Cheng shouted in a deep voice.

Then, he looked at Huai Xiao and said, "My father is right. Since we are here, why not wait for two days and go back to the sect with Zhishui so that we can take care of each other."

From the day he left, he had seen through Ning Zhongfeng.

Profits are paramount and family ties are weak.

No blood relationship could move him as much as the interests of the Ning family.

He drove me away back then because I was a waste, and now he easily changed his mind and was willing to give me the position of head of the family, simply because I was more valuable than Ning Tao.

If it were the Ning Cheng of the past, he might still feel heartbroken and sad, but now he feels nothing.

Coincidentally, he came back this time not for any blood relationship, but just to seize the throne so that he could provide a shelter for his children and wife.

He called "Dad" easily, but he knew that it was just a simple name. Ning Zhongfeng was no longer his father in his heart.

No wonder there are so many people here, it turns out the head of the family is going to be replaced.

Huai Xiao finally understood and after thinking about it, he felt that it was not impossible.

My junior sister has never even been to the sect. She is so young and is the favorite disciple of the great elder. If I really leave and let her go back alone, I guess the master will definitely punish me severely when she returns.

It is only right and reasonable that I should escort my junior sister back to the sect safely.

But he did not agree immediately, but looked at Ning Zhishui.
