Ning Ze listened quietly, his eyes flickering frequently.
"So that's how it is." Only then did he know part of what happened.
Ning Ze nodded slowly: "Lan'er, you did a good job."
Wang Lan said: "I am still scared now. Today was so thrilling. I didn't expect Xiaozhuo to actually do it!"
"I...I don't know how to face him."
"After all, he was the one who rescued you and brought down that damn Ning Xiaoren."
Ning Ze sighed and said, "This is exactly what I wanted to tell you."
"Xiaozhu..."
"I was wrong before. I underestimated him."
"No matter if he has someone behind him to give him advice or not, judging from his conversation and behavior at the dinner, he is definitely not an ordinary person!"
“In the future, we should follow closely behind him and support him as much as possible.”
"Just let Ji'er follow him. They are cousins after all!"
Wang Lan was surprised: "Ah? Boss, you..."
Ning Ze glared: "Can't you see it? With Xiao Zhuo's reputation and talent, he will at least be the patriarch in the future."
"Didn't you see that the elders of the Ninghou Army, Ning Youfu and other branches all came out in person to support me and show their goodwill?"
"Does Ji'er have talent? Xiaozhuo's future is not comparable to Ji'er's. Let Ji'er follow Xiaozhuo now. The latter will help Ji'er out of their past friendship. I wonder how much hard work Ji'er will have to endure."
Wang Lan was very worried: "Master, don't you know the relationship between Ji'er and Xiaozhuo? Although they are cousins, they have never gotten along since they were young. Their relationship is not good at all."
Ning Ze shook his head: "You, you, are just a woman after all."
"You didn't see it clearly."
"Let me ask you, what is the relationship between Xiaozhuo and my husband and me?"
Wang Lan shook her head hesitantly and said, "Not closely."
Ning Ze snorted coldly: "To be precise, it's very bad!"
"But this time he cleared my name and rescued me. Why? Was it because he was filial to us? Was it because he remembered the love we had for raising him?"
Wang Lan blinked and said hesitantly: "Although we favor Ji'er more, it is indeed us who raised Xiaozhuo."
Ning Ze shook his head: "The biggest reason why Xiao Zhuo rescued me was that he could rely on me to bring Ning Xiaoren down."
"Another reason is that I am his uncle, his closest relative in the world."
"If he wants to make progress and reach a higher position, he must have a flawless character. Therefore, he will definitely take care of us, just because of our blood relationship."
"From the dinner just now, I have confirmed that Xiaozhuo has such understanding and magnanimity!"
Wang Lan: "If that's the case, then why should we just live our own lives and curry favor with Xiao Zhuo?"
Ning Ze shook his head again: "Xiao Zhuo wants to treat us well because our blood relationship is extremely close."
"By the same token, the main branches of the family will also regard us as being in the same group as Xiaozhu because of this."
"Especially today, the two of us testified against Ning Xiaoren! This means that even if we don't want to, we will be regarded as Xiaozhuo's people."
"We are already tied together with Xiaozhuo. We prosper together and suffer together."
Wang Lan opened her eyes wide: "So that's how it is."
Ning Ze said again: "Since we are already deeply bound to Xiao Zhuo, why don't we just support him with all our strength and join him?"
"He has talent and such a broad mind. It's not a bad thing to be attached to him."
Wang Lan fell into silence.
The young man whom he once looked down upon has now become the object of flattery and dependence for his entire family.
This made it difficult for her to adjust her mentality for a while.
After a long while, she nodded slowly, her tone bleak: "Boss, you are right. I, let's go and rely on Xiaozhu."
Ning Ze nodded: "Tomorrow morning, I will come and explain this decision to Ji'er."
After the couple had discussed it, they went to bed.
In Ning Ze's secret training room, Ning Zhuo was still doing today's homework.
In the heavy clouds, his whole body was covered with blood, which condensed into pieces of fascia, covering his entire upper body and a little bit of his lower body. The whole person seemed to be wearing a layer of light bloody armor.
The Mirror Platform Spiritual Communication Technique has now reached the peak of the sixth level.
However, there is still a lot of room for improvement in the Demonic Blood Tendon Technique and the Five Elements Qi Law Technique.
Ning Zhuo focused on the Demonic Blood-Dyeing Tendon Technique.
"The master will not be so foolish as to continue to withhold my reward."
"Ning Xiaohui's results are far inferior to mine. The possibility of me winning the Ice Jade Wine is very high!"
Ning Zhuo planned to use Ice Jade Wine to boost his magic power, so the Demonic Blood Tendon Technique, for which there was no shortcut, became his current focus of practice.
The hard work of refining the essence and blood is over.
Ning Zhuo slowly opened his eyes and exhaled.
He began to ponder the current situation.
"Today I will bring Ning Xiaoren down from his horse, and my name will be known to the whole clan and everyone will know about it."
"In the next period of time, I need to recruit soldiers and horses, unite as many branch tribesmen as possible, and officially start the movement."
"Get this done quickly, and the sooner the better."

"After this gust of east wind, it will be more than twice as difficult to get going again!"
"As for the Ningze family's account, we can slowly settle it later."
What Sun Lingtong taught him was always to repay kindness with kindness and repay grievances with grievances.
Ning Zhuo grew up in the Ning family and knew the situation of the Ning family very well.
It was precisely because he had such a deep understanding of the contradictory relationship between the main vein and the branch veins that he was able to easily take advantage of the contradictions and help himself get rid of Ning Xiaoren.
Ning Xiaoren's existence has hindered Ning Zhuo's progress, so he has to be eliminated.
Ning Zhuo never had the idea of leaving his family and cooperating with outsiders.
He was very clear about the value of his identity as a member of the Ning family.
Being a member of the Ning family helped him grow up safely and make progress in his studies.
If he was not a member of the Ning family, Zheng Jian, Zhou Zeshen and others would have had a different attitude towards Ning Zhuo.
The pressure from Zhu Xuanji's investigation of the case also made Ning Zhuo choose to continue hiding in the family.
After obtaining the rudiments of supernatural powers and putting his life in danger, Ning Zhuo was even more certain that his identity as a member of the Ning family could not be given up at will.
Because once the life-saving thread is planted, it can last for a long time. It is very helpful for destiny, and it makes Ning Zhuo understand that uniting more tribesmen will be of great benefit to himself and those around him! "Speaking of the life-saving thread... Today I accidentally observed that the life-saving threads of many classmates have become thicker and stronger."
"I clearly didn't use the rudiments of my magical powers on them again."
"Could it be that because I brought Ning Xiaoren down, my reputation increased greatly, making them more inclined to follow me?"
After a moment's thought, Ning Zhuo thought of another key point.
"Has my communication jade slip been transferred from Chen Cha to Fei Si's hands?"
In order to deal with Ning Xiaoren, Ning Zhuo secretly used his relationship with Fei Si.
Fei Si had admired Ning Zhuo before, and provoking internal strife in the Ning family would be beneficial to the City Lord's Mansion. Therefore, it was very likely that Fei Si would ask the City Lord's Mansion to mobilize the internal supporter planted in the Ning family on behalf of Ning Zhuo.
After trying it, it worked!
However, the City Lord's Mansion would not expose the key insider to Ning Zhuo. Therefore, Ning Zhuo was speculating during the dinner party about who among the Ning family branch members who attended the dinner party would be the insider of the City Lord's Mansion.
"The main branch and branches of the Ning family... and the inner support of the City Lord's Mansion..."
"I have achieved this without using my Buddha Heart Demon Seal or my life hanging by a thread."
"Aren't the desires of every individual, the conflicts between groups, the rules governing the operation of the forces of justice, etc., all strings pulled together?"
"I just need to take advantage of the situation and make them produce the movements I want."
"Every action combined with each other can make the situation become what I want."
"Isn't this just 'moving with the spirit' on another level?"
Ning Zhuo thought about how he had to strengthen his control over Yuan Dasheng, who was in the spiritual stage, and constantly take measures that were in line with spirituality.
"The reason why I was able to succeed this time was because I followed these people's ideas and guided them."
"Life hangs by a thread..."
When Ning Zhuo thought of this, a flash of inspiration came to his mind.
A flash of inspiration came to Ning Zhuo, but when he subconsciously tried to search for it, it disappeared again.
"Is it my illusion?"
"I seem to feel that the lotus bud that represents the embryonic form of mystical power just trembled a little, and seemed to open a little?"
