Since Li Leifeng said so, he didn't hesitate and immediately stretched out his hand to feel his pulse and infused his magic power into Li Leifeng's body. At the same time, his pair of golden eyes emitted divine light.
Soon, Zhu Xuanji had a clear understanding of Li Leifeng's physical condition and was immediately shocked.
"Senior Li, you..."
Li Leifeng persisted for a while, but finally couldn't help it and started coughing violently.
His breath declined again and he fell into the Qi Refining Stage. At the same time, he coughed until the corners of his mouth were bleeding and his face turned pale.
"I am old and my body is decayed. It is difficult for me to even breathe."
"No matter how gentle Lord Zhu's magic power is, it has caused considerable damage to me."
"But, never mind."
"If I hadn't had a chance encounter when I was young and taken a longevity-enhancing Ganoderma lucidum, I wouldn't have lived to this age."
"I would also like to thank Lord Zhu for helping me get rid of my troubles."
Zhu Xuanji sighed, frowning, unable to hide his guilt: "Senior Li, I know your contribution to the Salesian Center, why do you have to do this?"
He was a smart man, and after being tricked, he saw through Li Leifeng's tricks.
He felt very uncomfortable.
Li Leifeng smiled and said, "Master Zhu, if you really feel guilty, then you should represent the court well and arrange a good director for this charity kindergarten. Otherwise, even if I die, I will not be able to rest in peace."
Zhu Xuanji looked up and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
The main purpose of his visit this time was to find out about Li Leifeng.
According to the information he collected from the City Lord's Mansion and the three major families, Li Leifeng was undoubtedly the first suspect.
Although he was not yet at the Golden Core stage, he possessed a Thunder Spiritual Root. At his peak, he was in charge of the Mechanical Tower and had the combat power of a Half-Step Golden Core! Moreover, he had a profound attainment in mechanical arts and was recognized by the Lava Immortal Palace, becoming a candidate among the Foundation Establishment cultivators to enter the Immortal Palace.
According to the records of the four major families, Li Leifeng had entered the Immortal Palace several times and gained a lot.
This is still on record.
In fact, before the Lava Fairy Palace was blown out, there was no martial law on the top of Huoshi Mountain, and the path of the Red Flame Demon Lava Cave was fixed, so many cultivators could easily disguise themselves and enter the cave to explore.
It is simply impossible for the four major forces to keep record of all the cultivators who enter the Immortal Palace.
In other words, the number of times Li Leifeng entered the Immortal Palace to explore was far more than recorded.
Zhu Xuanji's investigation now confirmed that Li Leifeng was about to die and did not have much time left.
And yet he, a dignified Jindan cultivator, was framed by Li Leifeng.
Zhu Xuanji sighed inwardly.
He has been dealt with in this way many times.
Once he appears in public, his past experiences, personality and likes and dislikes will be clearly known to those who are interested.
Li Leifeng's move hit Zhu Xuanji's weakness.
Small people have their own way of survival! Zhu Xuanji knew that this investigation and confirmation would shorten Li Leifeng's life by at least three months.
Feeling guilty, he had no choice but to promise to find an outstanding principal for the Salesian Kindergarten in Huoshixian City.
Li Leifeng nodded and smiled: "Master Zhu, after I die, there will be a legacy meeting, and I will give away all my belongings to others."
"I know that you are from a royal family, a master detective, wealthy, and in a high position of power."
"But I still want to give you something as a token of my respect."
"Of course, I can't produce anything that would impress the adults, but I do have a small toy that I accidentally collected in my early years. It's quite interesting."
"Master Zhu, please look."
Zhu Xuanji took the wooden board.
The board is as big as a chopping board, very heavy, light yellow in color, with many natural wood textures. There are also various lines crisscrossing on the surface of the board, cutting the board into many small pieces of different sizes.
Zhu Xuanji himself had attainments in mechanical engineering, and he was attracted at first sight.
He tried to press one of the wooden blocks with his fingers and then dragged it to the side smoothly.
As he saw, the blocks were all movable.
"Interesting." Zhu Xuanji moved his fingers frequently, transferring many wooden blocks back and forth, and gradually discovered clues.
"This mechanical wooden board hides some information. As long as we move the wooden block and place it in the correct position, we can learn some of the information."
“And when we have all the information, we can piece together what this board wants to say.”
Zhu Xuanji frowned when he heard this: "There are so many wooden blocks. How long do we have to move and place them before we can learn all the contents?"
Li Leifeng burst out laughing: "This is a mechanical toy, like the one-wheeled, two-legged, three-haired, etc. that I played with when I was a child."
"It's just very complicated and can help pass the time."
Zhu Xuanji laughed: "What I need most is time, how can I waste it?"
As he spoke, he activated his golden eyes to gain insight.
By cheating in this way, he immediately obtained all the information in the wooden toy: "Is this just a fairy story? Not the whole story?"
Li Leifeng sighed: "Master Zhu, this is just a toy."
"In my opinion, perhaps it was made by a certain monk in his old age for his own younger generation when he was enjoying his grandchildren."
Zhu Xuanji nodded and put the mechanical wooden board back: "I think it is more appropriate to leave this wooden board in the Salesian Garden. Mr. Li, I'm leaving first. I will do what I promised you."
Li Leifeng: "Master Zhu, please take care. Please forgive me for not being able to stand up and see you off."
Zhu Xuanji waved his hands quickly: "No, no, no, just lie down, that's all."
After leaving the Salesian Garden, Zhu Xuanji could not help but sigh, looked up at the sky, and thought to himself: "Heaven, why don't you be more tolerant to the good people in the world?"
Zhu Xuanji was in a depressed mood and felt very regretful about Li Leifeng's impending death.
As for the time he has to spend reporting to the court, he also has to make his own efforts to participate in the search for the principal of the Salesian Kindergarten, which will consume energy and delay the investigation.
But he is willing to do it!
Ning Zhuo didn't sleep well in Ning Xiaoren's house.
In fact, it was even worse than being at his uncle's house.
What really gave him a sense of belonging was the small courtyard his mother left for him.
The breakfast is rich and has many delicious dishes.
Ning Xiaoren came over specially and had breakfast with Ning Zhuo.
Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.
He asked Ning Zhuo with concern how he rested last night and whether the food was to his liking.
Ning Zhuo acted awkward and embarrassed, and seemed at a loss as to what to do in the face of Ning Xiaoren's care.
Ning Xiaoren observed the expressions on his face and reduced his enthusiastic care in moderation.
Ning Zhuo gradually relaxed and started to eat the spiritual food. These things can help improve one's cultivation! Ning Xiaoren was surprised to find that Ning Zhuo was eating more and more, faster and faster.
He finished most of the plate of spiritual food.
Some spiritual food side dishes are small in quantity and taste the same. As a result, Ning Xiaoren just picked up the chopsticks - it was gone! "Eat it, it's delicious. If you like it, eat more." Ning Xiaoren smiled.
Ning Zhuo paused in his chewing movements and looked embarrassed again.
Ning Xiaoren laughed: "Good boy, good boy. If you eat more, you can practice faster and gain more from exploring the Immortal Palace."
"Drag...drag, thank you, Chief Roast Pig." Ning Zhuo had a lot stuffed in his mouth, and his voice was unclear.
Ning Xiaoren smiled again: "I told you, just call me Uncle Ning."
Ning Zhuo called him Uncle Ning again.
"Okay, from now on we will call each other uncle and nephew." Ning Xiaoren stood up, "Eat well and eat well. Then practice and don't waste your spirit stones. I heard that you like mechanical arts, so I will send you some mechanical books to read later."
Ning Zhuo immediately showed a look of joy, and quickly stood up and clasped his fists to express his gratitude.
Ning Xiaoren laughed, waved his hand, and walked out of the room.
Back in his study, his expression turned cold. He was not full, which was the first time in his own house. He could only order another breakfast and asked the servant to prepare it.
Ning Zhuo was flipping through the classics.
These books obviously came from the Ning family's secret library, and their quality was obviously higher than that of the books in the open library.
Ning Zhuo seemed to be concentrating on the surface, but in fact he was absent-minded.
If it were an ordinary day, he would definitely be thirsty for knowledge and would not be able to let go of these classics.
But now, he is well aware of his situation.
Even though he was being treated kindly by Ning Xiaoren at the moment, the other party might turn against him the next moment and throw Ning Zhuo into a private prison.
Ning Zhuo is taking a risk!
But he had to do it.
The appearance of Yuan Dasheng forced him to join the game and eliminate this powerful enemy at great risk. He was just one step away from being exposed.
Zhu Xuanji showed up too early and had been investigating, which brought tremendous pressure and forced Ning Zhuo to act as soon as possible.
"When did my situation become increasingly difficult?"
Ning Zhuo recalled that it was he who decided to blow up the fairy palace at the very beginning!
Once he did this, it was like he was on a lone boat, having to cross numerous huge waves and reach the other side before he could be considered safe.
If he made the slightest mistake or was even a little slower, the ship would be destroyed and everyone on board would die.
He could no longer get off the boat.
As long as the Immortal Palace is seized by others, they will definitely be able to investigate the circumstances of the bombing of the Palace and expose Ning Zhuo, the real murderer.
He could only move forward, keep moving forward, gritting his teeth, and no matter how many difficulties there were, he had to bite the bullet and move forward desperately!
"After a long night, Ning Xiaoren still treated me with courtesy and kindness, which shows that their investigation has yielded some results."
"These are all the lines of defense that I have been gradually building since I was two years old. The evidence I played and fabricated is naturally distributed throughout my growth trajectory."
"As long as they investigate these, they will get a reasonable explanation and realize that I have talent in mechanical engineering."
"It doesn't matter if the underground workshop is found. I have already cleaned it up. There are also a lot of modified drawings of the research and creation of the Infernape, prototypes of failed mechanisms, etc."
Although Ning Zhuo was alone and weak, he had one advantage.
That is, he started preparing more than ten years ago, and during his growth period, he deliberately laid out many traces and clues.
These clues and information are collected to form intelligence.
And this kind of intelligence is actually Ning Zhuo's carefully prepared personal defense line - who would think that a two-year-old child has been acting since childhood? As long as Zaozhi's talent is not discovered, Ning Zhuo can temporarily hold this defense line.
Of course, Ning Zhuo's love and obsession with mechanical engineering is not a false appearance, but his true character.
"Ning Zhuo, come out." Not long after, Ning Xiaohui's voice suddenly came from outside the house.
