The top of the mountain was shrouded in clouds and mist, but it could not cover up the increasingly frequent vibrations.

It has been a while since the Lava Palace was blown up, and more and more people who know the truth are beginning to understand: "Is that palace causing unrest again?"

Meng Kui looked down at the Immortal Palace, quietly watching the red-flame monsters appear one after another and attack the Immortal Palace's defense line.

Ning family.

The Ning family's ancestor stared at the top of the mountain, and after a while he received a report from the clan leader.

"The two Jindan of the Zhou family and the two Jindan of the Zheng family are fighting each other, and both of them are entering the battle formation?"

"What a coincidence?"

The Ning family's ancestor shook his head slightly. Regardless of whether the information was true or false, he decided to investigate it himself.

Ever since Meng Kui sealed off the top of the mountain and took charge personally, the ancestor of the Ning family has not entered the Immortal Palace for a long time.

"Boss Sun didn't reply to my letter?"

Most of the night had passed, and Ning Zhuo still hadn't received a reply from Sun Lingtong.

He frowned deeply, this was very unusual.

Ning Zhuo paced around the room with his hands behind his back.

After walking around for a few times, he called his servant and asked, "There's a lot of noise on the top of the mountain. What's going on?"

"Go and find out. If you find any other important news, report it as well."

Not long after, the servant brought explosive news from the market.

Ning Zhuo got what he wanted.

"Did Zhu Xuanji find Boss Sun?"

"Boss Sun deliberately spread the news of his 'achievement' in forcing Zhu Xuanji to retreat. He was telling me his true current situation!"

"Boss Sun is from Bukong Sect and has the Kongkongruye seal. Even if Zhu Xuanji gives up his principles and doesn't care about his face, he won't find anything if he forcibly searches the soul without any evidence."

"He still hasn't replied to my letter. What happened?"

Ning Zhuo frowned and said, "Let's wait and see."

Trust each other... This is the agreement between the two, and it is also the tacit understanding that has been cultivated for more than ten years.

Ning Zhuo was only two years old at that time.

One day, Sun Lingtong returned injured.

"What are you doing?" He found Ning Zhuo packing a small package and his face turned dark.

From this package, he saw the supplies for entering the Red Flame Demon Cave.

Ning Zhuo cried out in surprise: "Brother Sun, you're back! I was just looking for you, ouch!"

Sun Lingtong couldn't help but give Ning Zhuo a slap.

"I'm going to explore the Red Flame Demon Cave. That's because I have the ability."

"What were you doing there? Feeding the monster?"

"You don't know how high the heaven is and how deep the earth is. You are making a fuss!"

Ning Zhuo covered his forehead with his chubby little hands and said aggrievedly, "But, but Brother Sun, you've been gone for so long this time. You've been missing for seven days."

Sun Lingtong's expression couldn't help but darken.

After he recovered from his injuries, he would sneak into the Red Flame Demon Cave every once in a while to look for his master.

There were no results.

By this time, the middle section of the tunnel he entered collapsed.

Fortunately, Sun Lingtong was rushing back at the time, and he decisively used the air-piercing technique continuously, so he managed to pass through the collapsed section of the road and saved his life.

However, it would not be easy for him to find the Lava Fairy Palace next. He had to explore the correct path again.

Of course, there is no need to confide these worries to a two-year-old child.

Sun Lingtong patted his chest and smiled at Ning Zhuo, "You have to believe me, I am very strong!"

"How about this, from now on, we agree on ten days."

"I will definitely be back within ten days."

"So, as long as it's no more than ten days, don't worry. I'm sure I'll be fine."

Ning Zhuo said weakly, "I understand."

"Did you find your master when you went down the tunnel this time?"

Sun Lingtong: "Although I didn't see my master, I left some talismans in the corridor. If my master leaves the palace, he should be able to sense it. Ahem."

Sun Lingtong's breath became weaker: "I have internal injuries this time. Please boil some medicine for me. This is the recipe. I need to replenish my energy urgently."

Ning Zhuo looked at the prescription and found that some medicinal ingredients were missing, so he went out and bought some.

After testing, Sun Lingtong found that many of them were fake drugs.

He asked about the whole process of Ning Zhuo buying medicine, shook his head helplessly, and pointed out: "You are a child, covering your face and buying medicine from a small vendor. Everyone will know that there is something wrong with you."

"Next time you go to the pharmacy, go openly and show your Ning family badge."

"If you pretend to buy medicine for an adult in your family, no one will make things difficult for you, and they will even give you real herbs."

"Although you are very smart, you lack experience in doing things!"

…

Someone from the Ning family is coming.

The visitor smiled and spoke softly to Ning Zhuo, but his intention was to trick him into signing the contract.

Sun Lingtong had already discovered this matter and told Ning Zhuo the solution.

Ning Zhuo followed the plan, which led to his uncle Ning's blame.

Ning Ze's face turned cold and he personally stepped forward and scolded the visitor, thus destroying his plan.

But afterwards, he was unable to restrain Wang Lan, who went to the ancestral hall and made a scene, making the elders of the family embarrassed and losing face.

Ning Zhuo said to Sun Lingtong: "This matter has become so serious, I am afraid that I will have to live with my uncle soon. Alas, I don't want to do this at all."

Sun Lingtong patted his shoulder and comforted him, "Don't worry, your household registration transfer will not be successful."

"I'm afraid you'll be here for a long time."

Ning Zhuo was curious: "Why?"

Sun Lingtong explained: "On the surface, the patriarch of the ancestral hall has been removed from his position, but he is still the patriarch. He is from the main lineage and has a deep relationship. It is just a superficial act and he is temporarily put on ice. He will definitely be revived in the future."

"Your aunt caused a scene, which greatly damaged the reputation of the Ancestral Hall. But the Ning family branch has no powerful figures or factions to urge the Ancestral Hall to change its behavior."

“Therefore, there is a high probability that the Zongzu Hall will not correct its mistakes and will be tough to the end, testing the reaction of the Ning family branch.”

"If you don't react strongly, they will seize your household registration as a warning to others. Although you will be transferred to your uncle's home in the future, they will definitely delay it as long as possible."

"Your aunt did a bad job on this matter. But... she might not have done it unintentionally."

Ning Zhuo opened his mouth slightly and was stunned.

Sun Lingtong looked at him in such a silly way and patted his shoulder: "This is the world of adults."

"You are too young, only two years old."

"Although you are very smart, adults are cunning."

"You still have a lot to learn."

Ning Zhuo could only shake his head and asked in confusion: "Are these important?"

Sun Lingtong's face was full of seriousness: "Very important!"

He then smiled and said, "Come, I'll explain it to you."

…

Ning Zhuo sighed secretly.

Sun Lingtong was popularizing the common sense of power to him. It was still clear in his mind and ringing in his ears, as if it happened just yesterday.

"Most gangs put profit first. The first generation leader of the Monkey Head Gang had a strong personal charm, but he is dead. The second generation leader Yuan Er had difficulty convincing the crowd, especially after Yuan Dasheng's death."

"Outside, there are old enemies harboring hatred and secretly waiting for an opportunity to seek revenge. Inside, there are powerful elders who are dissatisfied with Yuan Er and are eyeing the throne of the gang leader."

"Yuan Er is troubled by internal and external troubles!"

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

"Boss Sun hasn't responded yet, so I'll arrange the troops first."

While Ning Zhuo was waiting for Sun Lingtong's reply, he remotely controlled the Tree Fighting Ape Dasheng and tried to sneak into the Monkey Head Gang's base.

He was already quite familiar with the Monkey Head Gang's base.

As a result, it succeeded after just a little try.

He commanded the Shuwu Fighting Ape Dasheng to successfully enter the inner area of ​​the base and get very close to Yuan Er.

"I didn't expect the defense of the Monkey Head Gang's base to be so lax!"

"The Fire Persimmon Festival was a disastrous defeat. With the death of Yuan Dasheng, the prestige of the entire Monkey Head Gang has greatly declined, and the gang members have lost their spirit and energy."

"People's hearts are so scattered that even the defense of the base camp is so poor."

"No, that's not quite right."

"Perhaps this is not pure laxity. It is very likely that an elder took action and arranged it like this on purpose."

Ning Zhuo analyzed for a moment and thought of a possibility.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this possibility was quite high.

"If the gang elders collude with old enemies to assassinate Yuan Er, I won't have to bother Boss Sun."

“This will save me a lot of trouble.”

black market.

Sun Lingtong's residence.

Inside the main house, there was an eerie and gloomy atmosphere that filled the entire hall.

Judge Chacha was like a statue in a temple, his eyes like swords and spears, piercing through Sun Lingtong's soul and searching his memories.

Ning Zhuo grew up gradually. When he reached a certain age, he was tested and found to have spiritual roots, so he went to school.

He lived in his uncle's house and lived a depressing life.

Sun Lingtong relied on the magic of Bukongmen to meet him secretly every once in a while.

This is the brightest light in Ning Zhuo's dark life.

Sun Lingtong stared at Ning Zhuo's test results with a sharp look: "Xiao Zhuo, why did you do so well this time?"

"Have you forgotten what your mother told you before she died?"

"You have to hide your shortcomings, you have to hide yourself!"

Ning Zhuo lowered his head: "But the school master is a good person. He often encourages me and hopes that I can do better in the exam."

"And those classmates always laughed at my poor grades, refused to play with me, and thought I was stupid."

"But I'm obviously much smarter than them!"

"I just want to show off a little bit of my strength so that they can look at me with new eyes!"

Sun Lingtong sighed secretly in his heart: "Xiaozhuo is indeed smart enough, but children are impatient and easily provoked."

"How should I persuade him?"

"No matter how much you persuade me, it's not safe!"

Sun Lingtong thought about it and decided to use intimidation: "Xiaozhuo, you are not far from death."

Ning Zhuo was immediately frightened: "Ah?!"

Sun Lingtong had a gloomy face and cited many examples, telling him that many geniuses were killed by jealous people, and were turned into elixirs or weapons.

"You behave too abruptly in the academy. It may arouse suspicion, and then they may judge your talent and kill you!"

Ning Zhuo was so frightened that his face turned pale and his forehead was covered with cold sweat: "But, but Ning Xiaohui also has talent."

"Humph, I'm the main branch, you're the branch. My grandmother is the elder of the family, what about you?"

"Have you forgotten what I taught you about a cultivation family? Have you forgotten the current situation of the Ning family that I analyzed for you?"

Ning Zhuo shook his head repeatedly.

"Come on, compete with me." Sun Lingtong thought about it, but was still worried, so he decided to give him another strong dose of medicine.

According to the contents of the school exam, Sun Lingtong did all of them in front of Ning Zhuo.

Naturally, his grades were excellent, leaving Ning Zhuo far behind.

Sun Lingtong said: "I am only one year older than you. Look at how I did in the exam. Am I proud? Am I complacent?"

Ning Zhuo’s face was pale, as if he had lost his soul, and he shook his head slowly.

Sun Lingtong patted Ning Zhuo on the shoulder and said, "Your Ning family is too small. Among the cultivation families in Huoshi Xiancheng, you are ranked last."

"Compared to your classmates, you may be quite outstanding. But how about you compared to all the children in the entire fairy city?"

"The Fire Persimmon Immortal City is just a corner of the world. It is a new city that was just built in the Southern Bean Immortal Kingdom in the past hundred years."

"How do you compare to those kids in the old city?"

"Think about it again. This is just the South Bean Country. Besides this country, what about other countries?"

"Can you rank among these countries?"

Sun Lingtong raised his finger, shook it, and said firmly: "No!"

"You can't even beat me, so don't be so complacent."

"I tell you, this is all I can do in the Kingdom of Nandou!" Sun Lingtong pinched out a small part of the tip of his little finger, belittling himself madly.

Ning Zhuo's face was pale and his forehead was covered with sweat.

Seeing the effect, Sun Lingtong patted Ning Zhuo's shoulder with satisfaction and said, "You have to know that there are always people better than you."

"Arrogant people are fools!"

“You must always be modest, open-minded, and humble in order to recognize reality, absorb unfamiliar knowledge more quickly, and grow faster.”

At this point, Sun Lingtong has made a decision: from now on, he will personally go out and "compete" with Ning Zhuo every once in a while to teach him a lesson!

Ning Zhuo was silent for a long time, and finally raised his eyes to look at Sun Lingtong, and said in a hoarse voice: "Little Brother Sun, I was wrong! My mother always warned me before she died."

Sun Lingtong sighed: "These words just now were actually taught to me by my master."

The two looked at each other and fell into silence for a moment.
