"You came to my house so late at night just to challenge me?"

"It must be an assassin!"

"not see!!"

Ning Zhuo got the report from the foundation-building guard and immediately shook his head: "Get rid of him."

Ning Zhuo's attitude was straightforward and resolute.

The foundation-building guard showed hesitation: "Master Ning Zhuo, if you do this, I'm afraid..."

"Afraid of what?"

The foundation-building guard continued, "I'm afraid it will be detrimental to your reputation."

"This Su Mo claims to be a low-level cultivator. If you don't respond to such a challenger, what will the outside world think of you if the news gets out?"

Ning Zhuo sneered: "Don't I know what you are talking about?"

"I'm afraid the other party heard the rumor and came to spy on me on purpose."

"There must be someone else behind him!"

"Maybe this isn't spying, it's assassination."

"Reputation is important, but my life is more important."

"I worked my way up from the bottom. You see, other people disdain the dirty hands of black market business, but I don't! I'm very pragmatic."

At this point, Ning Zhuo added: "However, your reminder is not without reason."

"Well, you invite Su Mo to the courtyard and treat him with good wine and delicious food."

"Tell him that things are tense and strange lately, and that someone is slandering me. I'll take note of this challenge and competition, and we'll continue the competition when we have time in the future."

"I've been staying at home recently and won't do anything rashly. Something's not right, something's not right."

"It's very likely that someone will come and assassinate me!"

"Do you think I'm stupid?"

"Haha, I won't give the assassin a chance easily."

"Um……"

"Tomorrow, I will move back to my clan's land."

Ning Zhuo sneered.

"I understand. I'll do it right away." The foundation-building guard retreated.

Ning Zhuo convinced him after some explanation.

However, Ning Zhuo's words were not mainly meant for him, but for someone else.

Zhu Xuanji and Ning Jufan both frowned slightly after hearing Ning Zhuo's plan.

They wanted Ning Zhuo to act as bait to lure the City Lord's Mansion into assassinating him and thus make a mistake. But Ning Zhuo himself also realized that the situation was not right and wanted to retreat.

"This won't do!" Zhu Xuanji thought to himself.

Ning Jiufan frowned and said, "If I move into the clan's territory, I won't be assassinated? How naive!"

He didn't want to see Ning Zhuo act like this.

Although Ning Zhuo moved into the clan land, it was indeed much safer for him than here. But if the City Lord's Mansion really wanted to assassinate him, the clan land alone would not be able to stop the assassin.

If Ning Zhuo moved to the clan's land, it would increase the casualties. After the assassination, other members of the Ning family would probably also suffer.

Zhu Xuanji simply sent a message to Ning Jiufan: "Brother Ning, please make some arrangements. Ning Zhuo is a member of your Ning family."

It is not easy for Zhu Xuanji to get involved in such matters.

It is the most legitimate thing to do to persuade someone to give in.

So, Ning Jufan conveyed the message to Ning Zhuo.

"Grandfather, Grandfather!" Ning Zhuo was overjoyed upon hearing this and shouted, "Grandfather, you came to save me! I will never forget your kindness in saving my life."

Ning Jiufan told Ning Zhuo not to be afraid, he had come nearby, lurking to protect Ning Zhuo. And asked Ning Zhuo to fight bravely! "Even if this Su Mo is an assassin, I will guarantee your life safety." Ning Jiufan said so.

Ning Zhuo shrank his head and said, "Grandfather, I, I don't want to."

He touched his big head and suddenly a look of enlightenment appeared on his face.

"Wait, can't it be..."

"Ancestor, could it be that you are the one who spread the rumor that I took the Demon Sect's Scripture?"

"You protected me secretly, and then asked me to fight. Isn't it obvious that you are using me as bait?"

"Who are you dealing with?"

Ning Jiufan coughed and said, "You don't need to ask who it is."

If you really tell Ning Zhuo that they are going to deal with the City Lord's Mansion this time, aren't you afraid that Ning Zhuo will be scared to death?

Therefore, Ning Jufan did not respond directly, but just brushed it off.

Ning Zhuo is certainly not stupid.

"I won't do it, I won't do it!!"

"This job is too dangerous. If I'm not careful, my life will be in danger, ancestor."

"My weak arms and legs can't bear it."

Seeing Ning Zhuo being so uncooperative, Ning Jushu couldn't help but snort coldly.

Unexpectedly, this cold snort not only failed to scare Ning Zhuo, but instead stimulated his "rebellion".

"Ancestor, you can't do this, Ancestor!"

"Although I am a branch, I am also a human being, and my surname is Ning."

"You can't treat me differently like this, Ancestor."

"If you do this, it will be very disheartening."

After hearing this, Ning Jushan felt like he had suddenly become a biased patriarch and was very foolish.

Ning Jiufan said coldly: "Don't shout, kid. I tell you, even if the main clan leader was in your position, he would do the same thing."

"You are in this position, and the situation is urging you. You have to consider the overall situation, kid."

Ning Zhuo stiffened his neck and said, "No, I won't do it!"

"Grandpa, please don't push me."

"How can an ancestor force a younger generation to die?"

"If you force me again, I will kneel down in the ancestral hall and cry while hugging the tablets of your father and grandfather!"

"I will go and file a complaint! I will move to the ancestral hall and live there, eating, drinking, defecating and urinating."

Ning Jiufan:?! For a moment, he was stunned.

To be honest, he had never seen such a young man in the family! This was too disrespectful.

He was about to teach Ning Zhu a lesson, but was stopped by Zhu Xuanji.

Zhu Xuanji said: "Right now, we still need this boy to cooperate with us."

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

"The overall situation is important. It is best to keep him stable for the time being."

Ning Jiufan frowned immediately.

Zhu Xuanji said again: "Ning Zhuo is a junior in your family, don't you know him well?"

"Let me give you a little warning."

"He was born in a branch family and was treated harshly since he was young. Although he went to school and received training, his skills in mechanical engineering have only been accumulated and he has never shown his talents. This means that he is not taken seriously in the school."

"It was during the time when Lava Fairy Palace was born that his attainments in mechanical engineering reached the point where his accumulated knowledge was about to explode."

"It was only during this recent period that he discovered that he had talent."

"A boy like this, who is not loved by his uncle and grandmother, has spent sixteen years growing up in a wild way. Don't expect him to respect the elders and senior members of the Ning family from the bottom of his heart."

"Don't forget, he deposed your clan's young chief not long ago. Your former young chief is still imprisoned in the clan's private prison, right?"

Ning Jiufan frowned even more tightly: "Then according to your opinion, Master Zhu..."

Zhu Xuanji just smiled and didn't answer.

Ning felt unhappy to give in!

how?

As the dignified Jindan of the Ning family and the ancestor of the Ning family, does he have to accommodate a younger generation of the family? This is simply against the Tiangang!

But what Zhu Xuanji said was not wrong, everything must be considered in the overall situation.

What is the big picture right now?

That is to induce the City Lord's Mansion to make a mistake and send people to assassinate Ning Zhuo.

Only by getting hold of evidence against the City Lord's Mansion can they prove and expose the crime of the City Lord's Mansion sending the Dark Shadow Demon Cultivator to blow up the Immortal Palace and harbor the enemy! Once the crime is proven, the Nandou Royal Family can take action openly and overturn the entire situation in Huoshi Immortal City.

At that time, Zhu Xuanji would not have to do anything and would be directly recommended to become the master of the Immortal Palace.

Ning Jiufan couldn't help but fall into silence.

Right now, if Ning Zhuo gives up his disguise, it will be easy for Feisi to find out. Once he becomes alert, how can he be assassinated?

Therefore, what Zhu Xuanji said was right. They had to stabilize Ning Zhuo and persuade him to cooperate with them.

Of course, the Jindan ancestors are not without means, such as some spells, which can control Ning Zhuo like a puppet.

But this is a bad practice.

On the one hand, they are all righteous and have integrity. It is unacceptable for six seniors to bully a junior in the Qi Refining Stage.

Especially since Ning Jiufan, as the ancestor of the Ning family, should have protected the young clan members, but he teamed up with the other five Jindan to bully and control his younger generations. This was too shameless.

On the other hand, Ning Zhuo needs to maintain a normal state. Only if he is willing to cooperate can he deceive Fei Si to the greatest extent.

The means of forced control that the ancestors could use could easily leave clues or abnormalities that were difficult to conceal, making it easy for Feisi to discover them.

"Ancestor, Ancestor, are you there? Are you still there?" Ning Zhuo saw that Ning Jiusuan did not respond to him for a long time, so he hurriedly called out in a low voice.

"I'm here." Ning Jiufan was so angry that he laughed, "You little brat, you're asking for a beating."

"I'm telling you clearly here that you can't escape. Stay here and wait for my assassination."

"With me here, you won't die!"

"The emperor has no shortage of hungry soldiers. Tell me what you want. I'll see if I can give it to you. I won't let you take risks in vain."

Ning Zhuo smiled bitterly and sat down on the chair.

His expression was very ugly: "Is it really impossible to run, Ancestor?"

Ning Jiufan said in a deep tone: "No."

"Okay. State your request now." Ning Jufan became impatient. He was a great Golden Core while Ning Zhuo was just a small Qi Refiner. Such an attitude was extremely rare.

"Okay." Ning Zhuo gritted his teeth, "Grandpa, I want to inherit the entire family. I want to be the patriarch!"

Ning Jiufan: ...

"Ancestor? Ancestor?" Ning Zhuo called again.

Ning Jiufan was so angry that he laughed for the second time: "You are only in the Qi Refining Stage, but you are so ambitious that you actually want to get involved in the position of clan leader?"

Ning Zhuo hurriedly said: "Ancestor, being the clan leader is so prestigious, I just want it."

"Especially now that the people in our Ning family's main branch are always unhappy with us, they have been trying every possible way to suppress us in every way."

"Life in our branch is very hard."

"Otherwise, I wouldn't have brought a bunch of people to the black market to make a living, Ancestor."

Ning Jufan fell silent again after hearing this.

He was not unfamiliar with the Ning family's situation. He was also aware of it and knew that what Ning Zhuo said was right.

But it is difficult to attack the main vein if Ning Juesu surrenders.

The main lineage is also the bloodline of the Ning family, and is also the direct descendant of another Ning family ancestor. Ning Jufan promised his friend that he would take care of his descendants.
