In front of Zhou Nongying, Fei Si also tried to win over Ning Zhuo.
Ning Zhuo behaved indifferently, which was almost the opposite of his past self.
Naturally, Zhou Nongying was very satisfied with his attitude. He knew that Ning Zhuo, this junior, was extremely smart and knew the current situation and who were the allies and who were the enemies.
At present, the Lava Fairy Palace has become owned by the Meng family.
Meng Kui would definitely not let go easily. In time, relying on the Lava Fairy Palace as a key support point, the Meng family will have a nearly perfect reason to continue to send Meng family monks to the Fire Persimmon Fairy City.
Eventually, Huoshi Xiancheng was annexed by the Meng family and became the family's private city.
Under such circumstances, the Zhou family and the Ning family naturally had to stick together to fight against the ambitious Meng family.
Seeing Ning Zhuo like this, Fei Si didn't want to stay any longer and left early.
Ning Zhuo was very polite and accompanied him all the way to the gate.
Before leaving, Fei Si smiled and mentioned Chi Dun. He said that Chi Dun, a physical cultivator, had been obsessed with Buddhist doctor Meng Yaoyin since the monster tide was extinguished, and had a strong desire to challenge her to a duel, in order to regain his ground and calm his resentment.
Ning Zhuo also smiled slightly. He immediately understood that Fei Si was using Chi Dun to threaten him.
Since that was the case, he did not indulge the other party and only said: "I am young and weak, but I also have a competitive heart. Since Master Chi Dun has such a refined taste, then this junior will definitely accompany him to the end. I am just worried... that if the Great Snake Scythe is not handled with due care, Master Chi Dun will die. That would be terrible!"
Fei Si immediately stopped smiling, nodded indifferently to Ning Zhuo, then turned around and walked away.
Looking at his soaring back, Ning Zhuo's eyes were dim, knowing that at this point, his close relationship with Fei Si had disappeared and the two sides were standing on opposite sides.
"Mr. Zhu Hou, the director of the Salesian Garden, has arrived!" The receptionist recited loudly again, and then recited the list of gifts that Zhu Hou brought.
Many people were shocked again! Although Zhu Hou was only at the foundation-building stage, he was born into the royal family of Nandou, and he had a high reputation. Especially since the royal family had inserted him here, he was nothing more than a nail, nailed here to observe the situation in the fairy city and try to offset Meng Kui's influence.
Ning Zhuo had just turned back from the gate and heard the recitation. He simply turned around and greeted Zhu Hou with a warm smile.
Zhu Hou is different from others.
He first entered the buffet and immediately caused a sensation.
He went around the banquet many times and made many good friends before leaving to discuss things with Ning Zhuo and Zhou Nongying.
This time he represented the Nandou royal family and wanted to support the Ningzhuo branch family and the Zhou family, hoping that they could stop the Meng family from encroaching on the Huoshi Immortal City in the future.
The three of them had a very pleasant conversation and all expressed a strong desire to cooperate.
After the crowd dispersed, Ning Zhuo returned to the banquet.
After he sat down at the main table, the monks who had been waiting anxiously came forward and took the initiative to toast Ning Zhuo.
The first to come forward were Ning Youfu and Ning Houjun, the two former elders of the branch.
Ning Zhuo is now the head of a branch family, and his status far exceeds that of the two elders.
Ning Youfu showed an obvious attitude of submission, and Ning Houjun's attitude was even lower, because he had other wishes. He hoped that his descendants would return to Ning Zhuo's branch family and cancel the serious crime of exile.
Ning Zhuo did not agree immediately, but said that he had to observe it carefully before making a judgment.
This simple response already made Ning Houjun's eyes red and he was deeply moved.
"When the family is divided in the future, I hope that you two elders can serve as the pillars of the family and provide shelter for the future generations for a period of time." Ning Zhuo took the initiative to invite.
Ning Youfu and Ning Houjun looked at each other and agreed on the spot. They had stepped down from the position of patriarch not entirely out of their own will.
The school elder standing by had a gloomy face, but there was nothing he could do. He could only watch helplessly and indignantly as the Ning Zhuo branch family absorbed branch members in person, expanded rapidly, and strengthened itself.
Ning Xiangqian and other former deacons also came to Ning Zhuo, eagerly hoping that Ning Zhuo's division of the family would include them all.
Ning Zhuo said that the list will be made public soon.
After that, there were classmates and reform team members such as Ning Chen and Ning Yong.
Ning Zhuo gave them a good encouragement. He had always been very famous among this group of people, mainly due to Ning Zhuo's previous experience of teaching.
Now, his status as the head of the branch family has been confirmed, completely surpassing them, which has further stimulated their desire to follow him.
The leaders of the Monkey Head Gang and the Crane Mouth Gang were both here, and they sat in the very corner.
Even so, they were trembling with excitement.
This was what they had been dreaming about before joining Ning Zhuo. As Ning Zhuo's status rose, they also benefited from it and truly mixed into the circle of the right path.
They personally experienced Zhou Nongying, Fei Si, Zhu Hou and others coming to congratulate them, and their loyalty to Ning Zhuo immediately increased a hundredfold.
Chen Cha, Feng Heizi, Buganbujing and the one-armed craftsman also left the table one after another and walked up to express their congratulations.
Chen Cha had a complicated expression and sighed: "Ning Zhuo, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would never have expected you to be able to do this. Congratulations!!"
Ning Zhuo stood up and held Chen Cha's hand, showing extraordinary closeness, which aroused the envy of Feng Heizi, Buganbujing and the one-armed craftsman.
At the banquet, Feng Jiqing boasted to the monks sitting at the same table.
"At that time, the head of the Ning family was still alive and asked me to comment on Ning Zhuo's Mechanical Fire Monkey."
"When I saw it, I was stunned! Apart from other things, the storage array is designed just right. If it were me, I would probably choose the empty lung of the cloud whale."
"Hahaha, compared to this gifted child, I am too ordinary and not worth mentioning."
"It is my great honor to be in the same city with Lord Ning Zhuo!"
…
Lava Fairy Palace.
In front of him, a mirror formed by magic reflected every scene of Ning Zhuo's branch family.
There is only one protagonist in the mirror, and that is Ning Zhuo.
Meng Kui observed the young man in white with a deep gaze.
Before the dust settled, he would never believe that he would lose to such a junior.
Who could have thought that in this Huoshi Mountain, there was a young cultivator at the Qi Refining level who could disguise and endure for more than ten years, and temporarily deceive all forces in order to seize the Lava Fairy Palace and the Blow-up Fairy Palace?
"Grandpa!" Meng Chong broke open the door of the main hall and rushed to Meng Kui.
"Is Ning Zhuo opening his mansion today? I'm going to fight him! I haven't lost yet!!" Meng Chong shouted loudly, threatening to take revenge.
Meng Kui snorted coldly and flicked his fingers lightly. The strong force of his fingers made Meng Chong shrink his head, cover his forehead with his hands, and cry out in pain.
"Grandpa, why did you hit me?"
Meng Kui: "I asked you to practice diligently and master a few more cultivation skills, but you never listened to my advice."
Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.
"Did you see it this time too?"
"Ning Zhuo relied on his mastery of mechanical engineering to leave you behind by several streets. The mechanical monkey that you regarded as your lifelong enemy was just one of his mechanical creations. In the end, it was he who took the initiative to give up the position of Palace Master to your grandfather!"
"Look at him, he's only sixteen years old, just a little older than you."
"You are so young, but you failed and your soul was separated. You are so young, but you have such skills and excellent mechanical attainments, and you have even set up your own business today."
"Chong'er, learn more from geniuses who are better than you!"
Meng Chong was stunned.
Grandpa Meng Kui has always been proud of him. At this moment, he said such words, which made Meng Chong feel strange. You know, in the past, he, Meng Chong, was the only protagonist.
Now, Ning Zhuo successfully pushed Meng Chong down.
"Well, Chong'er's defeat this time is understandable. Even you and I, weren't we fooled by that cunning kid?" Meng Hu showed up.
He walked behind Meng Chong and lifted him up: "I will take Chong'er away first. Although the Three Sects' Upper Method is to build the foundation of the three dantians, it focuses on mechanical skills, and the opportunity has been lost, so it is not suitable for Chong'er."
"It just so happens that the Imperial Master Wu Ting of the Xianglei Kingdom is openly recruiting personal disciples. Chong'er has the talent to be a thunderbolt. If he can become the personal disciple of the Imperial Master Xianglei, the result will be even better."
Meng Kui nodded: "Okay, let's take him there."
No matter how Meng Chong struggled and shouted, Meng Hu picked him up and turned into a rainbow and flew away.
Meng Kui was left alone, sighing quietly.
If he could have the complete three sects' methods, it would be a good option for Meng Chong to stay and continue practicing.
But there is only one copy of the Three Laws Scripture in the body of the Taoist Master of Machinery.
The soul entering the Immortal Palace can at most obtain the three supreme techniques of the Qi Refining Period.
The subsequent skills are hidden in the Dharma Bell, but it is not only difficult for Meng Kui to crack the bell, but he also has no idea where to start!
Meng Kui, who is well versed in the mystery of fate, knows very well that the fate of the Lava Fairy Palace has been obtained by others first. One step ahead means more steps. The subsequent fate will only benefit the person who obtains it first, not him, Meng Chong.
It is extremely difficult for Mengchong to catch up, and he has already lost the initiative, wasted time, and made little progress. It would be better to make a bold move, decisively withdraw, and take another path.
His spiritual consciousness scattered, and Meng Kui observed the Lava Fairy Palace again.
"The loss is too heavy!" He shook his head.
Deep down, he didn't want to take over this mess.
But there is no way, because the Meng family has requests for the entire Huoshi Xiancheng.
In order for the Meng family to control Huoshi Xiancheng for a long time, they need a reason to counter the Nandou royal family's national policy of rotating the city lord.
There is no doubt that the identity of the Palace Master of Lava Fairy Palace can help the Meng family achieve this goal.
This is why, even though Meng Kui, a wise general, knew that this was a trap, he still wanted to fulfill Ning Zhuo's wish, took the initiative to take over and bear the responsibility.
"Rebuilding the entire Lava Fairy Palace is incredibly expensive. It is only possible if we ask for help from our family." Although Meng Kui is at the Nascent Soul level, he cannot afford the maintenance of the Fairy Palace by himself. This shows how huge the cost of repairing the Fairy Palace is.
What really troubled Mengqiu was not the repair problem, but his position.
The Lava Fairy Palace has various positions. Even though the mechanical buildings have fallen, the positions have not been revoked along with them.
According to the agreement between Meng Kui and Zhu Xuanji, no matter who obtains the position of the Palace Master of the Immortal Palace, these positions will not be liquidated.
Therefore, even though Meng Kui was the palace master, a large number of duties under him fell on the monks of the three reform teams.
The existence of these people, who control many positions in the Immortal Palace, will undoubtedly greatly reduce the Meng family's control over the Lava Immortal Palace! This is also the most important cornerstone for Zhou Nongying and Ning Zhuo to join forces to fight against the Meng family.
Separation.
The banquet was almost over when the receptionist suddenly called out, "Master Song Fuli has arrived!"
Ning Zhuo was slightly stunned, knowing that an unwelcome guest had arrived.
Song Fuli had a blank expression on his face and stood straight. He neither gave any gift nor wanted to step into the door.
He blocked the door.
