Ningzhuo Courtyard.

A pair of mechanical arms, like ice crystals, crystal clear, with soft curves. The ten fingers are slender and delicate, round and smooth. The talismans on the palms and backs of the hands are like ice flowers, exuding a cool and holy atmosphere.

It is exactly the mechanism component - the floating ice white jade hand.

Talent - Ice-smooth jade hands! The freezing air enveloped Buddhist doctor Meng Yaoyin, freezing her quickly.

In order to boost his power, Ning Zhuo activated a temporary magic circle. The core of the magic circle was the Ice Heart Jade Pot! He had borrowed it from Ning Jiufan on purpose.

With the combined blessing of Ice-Fat Jade Hands and Ice-Heart Jade Pot, the dents on the body of Buddhist doctor Meng Yaoyin, who was frozen in a huge block of ice, were quickly repaired.

After a while, the ice disintegrated and melted, and Buddhist doctor Meng Yaoyin stood up, motionless.

"How is it?" Sun Lingtong, who was helping to preside over the magic circle, came out with a nervous look on his face.

Ning Zhuo carefully checked the Buddhist medical mechanism and saw that there was still a trace of purple light in Meng Yaoyin's spirituality, and the surface of the golden elixir was also transformed into clouds and flowers, full of purple.

He shook his head slowly.

Sun Lingtong couldn't help but sigh.

Ning Zhuo comforted him, "Boss, we expected this result a long time ago, didn't we?"

"My mother was a Jindan cultivator when she was alive. After her death, she turned into a human puppet. She was still able to fight Zhu Xuanji head-on. She must be extraordinary."

"She died from this injury. It is almost impossible for us to cure the injury that took her life with only a magic weapon and a little talent."

Sun Lingtong nodded: "Yes, if it was useful, your mother would have taken action long ago and snatched Ning Jiufan's Ice Heart Jade Pot to heal herself."

"No." Ning Zhuo shook his head. "My mother is a righteous person. How could she rob others for no reason? She must have traded with our ancestors or borrowed money from them."

Sun Lingtong: ...

He couldn't help but complain in his heart: "Based on your mother's various behaviors in the Lava Fairy Palace, she doesn't seem like a good person."

However, he also understood Ning Zhuo very well.

In Ning Zhuo's mind, his mother is naturally different!

So, Sun Lingtong said, "Oh," and agreed, "You are right."

Ning Zhuo looked at Sun Lingtong and said apologetically, "Boss, I'm sorry. I have hidden a lot of things from you. I..."

Sun Lingtong looked at Ning Zhuo in surprise, then waved her hand: "Haven't you apologized? It doesn't matter!"

He chuckled and rested his hands on the back of his head: "To be honest, I really didn't think that I was injured because of your mother. That's why you saved me."

"Your mother is so cruel!"

"But it happened for a reason. I was the one who found my way to your place."

"No wonder I was bewitched by fate and developed a feeling of disgust and hatred towards you at the last moment of the battle for the Asgard."

On the day Ning Zhuo gave up the position of Palace Master of the Immortal Palace to Meng Kui, he secretly revealed everything to Sun Lingtong.

After Sun Lingtong heard this, she suddenly realized what was going on and yelled angrily, "You little bastard, you hid so much from me and made me worry about you for nothing!"

What could Sun Lingtong do when he saw Ning Zhuo staring at him with a sincere look on his face?

Of course I forgave him! Now, after hearing Ning Zhuo apologize again, Sun Lingtong comforted him: "It's just a small matter, these are just small matters."

"I asked you repeatedly to keep your secret and not let me know."

"You did a great job, Xiaozhu."

"It is easier to do things secretly than to do things openly. Isn't it because you concealed the truth that you were able to succeed? It is precisely because you were able to hide it from me that you were able to take advantage of my weakness and finally achieve the greatest victory."

“We should continue to maintain such excellent habits!”

Ning Zhuo quickly said: I will definitely continue to maintain it, and praised Sun Lingtong for his good teaching.

Sun Lingtong proudly put his hands on his hips and laughed, "You little bastard, do you think I'll be happy if you flatter me?"

He cultivated Ning Zhuo and it can be said that he brought Ning Zhuo up single-handedly.

This experience and feeling of having an elder brother who is like a father to him makes him have no jealousy. He will feel proud and gratified from the bottom of his heart for any achievement made by Ning Zhuo.

At this time, Ning Chen came outside the door to report that the Zheng family's clan land had been officially handed over.

Sun Lingtong said seriously, "Okay, it's my turn to do some serious work. Yang Chanyu and I will scan the Zheng family land again to see if we can find any hidden vaults. If we find any loopholes, we will come back and tell you."

It turned out that when Ning Zhuo, Meng Kui and Zhu Xuanji reached an agreement, they had already divided up the Zheng family.

According to the agreement, the Zheng family's clan land will be transferred to Ning Zhuo and become the clan land of the Ning family branch! Sun Lingtong left quietly.

On the surface, Ning Zhuo had already cut ties with Sun Lingtong and Bukongmen. So, he still had to avoid suspicion.

This state of separation has been deeply rooted in people's hearts thanks to Zhu Xuanji's guarantee.

Even at the final moment, it was the "entry standard" that seized the Immortal Palace once, letting the book's king and others know the information. In their view, the "entry standard" was Sun Lingtong, and they would not have thought that it was Ning Zhuo's section.

In addition, many Jindan cultivators stayed in the Transfer Secret Pavilion. Even when Chi Dun, Zhou Nongying and others arrived, they were afraid of the fierce power of the Great Snake Scythe and did not teleport into the main hall through the gate.

This provided a huge premise for Ning Zhuo and the other three to make a private agreement and keep the secret.

Of course, there are flaws.

For example, Meng Kui blew off the roof of the main hall, and perhaps the situation inside had been detected by outsiders.

But it doesn’t really matter! So what if you knew?

Even if the public didn’t believe Ning Zhuo, wouldn’t they believe the City Lord’s Mansion? Even if they didn’t believe the City Lord’s Mansion, wouldn’t they believe Zhu Xuanji, the royal family’s divine detective?

Even if no one believes it, what can we do?

Will it affect the tripartite cooperation? Sun Lingtong and Yang Chanyu reunited, disappeared, and when they arrived at the Zheng family's land, they saw Ning Yong and others replacing the door plaque.

The plaque on the lintel of the Zheng family's door was replaced, and it was replaced by the Ning family.

This scene triggered heated discussions among passers-by in front of the gate.

"It has been changed, it has really been changed to the Ning family's door plaque!"

The relevant rumors were arranged and spread proactively by Ning Zhuo.

"I heard that this is the clan land of the Ning family's branch. Did you know? The clan leader of the branch is actually Ning Zhuo!"

"Ning Zhuo? I seem to have heard of this name."

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

"He is the genius of the Ning family. He is very young, only sixteen years old!"

"What's going on? How much cultivation can a sixteen-year-old have?"

"It's just the middle level of Qi Refining."

"With such a level of cultivation, he can serve as the head of a clan? What is his identity?"

"It's just an ordinary branch. It has been bullied for more than ten years. You should have heard about the disputes between the main branch and branch branches of the Ning family."

"Then why can he be the clan leader? Even if he is just the clan leader of a branch family? I can't figure it out!"

"You don't understand this, right? This is a good move by the Ning family. The Zheng family was wiped out, and the great clan land was vacated. The Ning family wanted to fight for it, but they already have the clan land, so there is no legitimate reason at all."

"So, they split up? They use this reason to occupy this piece of fat meat? It makes sense! So, Ning Zhuo is actually a puppet who was promoted?"

"Yes, you are able to think of this, which shows your insight. This is also the case when Ning Zhuo was elected as the leader of the black market."

"Then why didn't the Zhou family split up like this?"

"Well, it's not that we were a step too late and didn't react in time, so the Ning family took the lead. The Zhou family's cultivators are all rather old-fashioned, you know that!"

Passersby were immersed in this kind of communication and made comments in a very logical manner.

The so-called seeing through the truth is actually nothing but self-righteousness, which is very different from the facts.

The real division of benefits was far more cruel and cold than the low-level monks imagined. Many of the leaked news were deliberately embellished by the high-level monks.

Sun Lingtong and Yang Chanyu worked together and searched secretly several times, but they didn't find any hidden vaults. However, they did discover many loopholes in the magic array.

Some are old caves, while others are recent additions.

Obviously, the City Lord's Mansion was not honest and did a lot of tricks before the handover.

All of this was reported to Ning Zhuo.

The clan formation needed to be redesigned, and the various loopholes needed to be filled. Ning Zhuo knew that he was about to start a family and establish a business. Anyway, his true combat power had been exposed, so being tough would arouse more respect and fear, rather than more covetousness.

The biggest advantage of the Zheng family's land is that their smelting and forging conditions are the best in Huoshi Xiancheng.

Even the City Lord's Mansion couldn't compare to this! Ning Zhuo presided over a public sacrifice on the Zheng family's land.

He recited the eulogy, and was so moved that he burst into tears: "The sky is weeping, the wind and clouds are pale, and today we gather here to mourn the sacrifice of our relatives."

"... Ning Xiaoren, Ning Ze, Ning Xiangguo..."

"When you were alive, you were both wise and brave, with noble morals and noble character. You shone brightly in all directions, bringing prosperity to your family and peace to your neighbors."

"Alas! Today you have returned to dust, and your heroic spirits have fallen into the underworld... May your spirits in heaven rest in peace, protect your descendants, and bless the Ning family to enjoy eternal peace!"

After Ning Zhuo finished reciting, all the clansmen in the hall were moved.

Amidst the mourning clothes, cries gradually rose and funeral music played.

"My husband, my son!" Wang Lan was so sad that she fainted from crying.

Ning Zhuo was shocked and served Wang Lan personally. He was extremely nervous and personally helped Wang Lan to change her blood and feed her the elixir to wake her up. Such pure filial piety made everyone admire him.

Many clan members who were unaware of the situation felt a strong sense of identification with him. It didn't matter if the cultivation level of a branch clan leader was lower now. Such a kind and respectful person couldn't be too bad!

"Ning Chen, help my aunt to the backyard and rest for a while."

Ning Zhuo specially selected a large house in the Zheng family's land for Wang Lan to live in.

After properly handling the matter, he continued to preside over the sacrifices.

After the ceremony ended, he actively visited Ning Xiangguo's family and presented them with many spirit stones in public.

He was grateful for Ning Xiangguo's contributions in the black market, and he listed them all, which moved Ning Xiangqian and others. They felt that everything they did was seen by Ning Zhuo. This was worth it!

Yang Chanyu, who was hiding nearby, leaned against the wall, with a mocking look on her face: "Rest in peace? Didn't he kill these people? Can you rest in peace?"

"Hypocrisy! You are so hypocritical, little brother." Yang Chanyu said with disdain.

Sun Lingtong was sitting on the wall, also hiding himself. Hearing the voice, he rolled his eyes: "What do you know? This is the right way."
