"I also want to ask, why did you kill him?"
Although Wen Zhongtian had wronged Ning Feng'er and the Ning family, he was considered a decent person to outsiders. He was chivalrous, built bridges and roads, and did many good deeds. Ning Hong hadn't originally wanted to save him, but the system, which had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up, telling her to save him.
"System, why did I save him? Just to go against me?"
Wen Zhongtian and he were clearly enemies.
Now that he has saved him, does he expect Wen Zhongtian to be grateful to him and give up his idea of revenge?
"It's highly unlikely."
"Mind your own business." The man in black spat. "I have no intention of making enemies of Nine Heavens Manor. Get out of my way and I will forgive and forget about it."
"Stop joking. In your current state, how could you possibly beat Wen Zhongtian?"
At least Wen Zhongtian could still stand up, but this person didn't have the strength to stand up at all.
As the game progresses, it's still too early to tell who will win or lose.
"you?"
The man in black was furious. If this guy hadn't rashly knocked him away with a stick, he would have definitely been able to kill Wen Zhongtian right here today.
"I don't care what grudges you have, but I don't want you to fight on my estate."
Ning Hong stepped forward and ripped off the mask from the man in black. He was a middle-aged man with a mustache, and he looked somewhat familiar.
He felt like he'd seen this man somewhere before.
"Besides, I'm also afraid of being retaliated against by the two of you." These people in the martial arts world are the most petty and narrow-minded; if you're not careful, you could very well be retaliated against.
He doesn't care about himself, but he has Feng'er with him!
"Who are you?"
"Hmph." The man in black snorted coldly and turned his head away.
"Wen Zhongtian, do you know this person?"
Wen Zhongtian looked the man up and down and shook his head. "I don't know him. I've never seen this man before."
"You don't recognize me? How could you, you little beast, not recognize me? It's because of you that my daughter has gone insane, and you dare say you don't recognize me?"
"Ahem, sir, I really don't know you."
He had absolutely no recollection of him, so how could they know each other?
"I think I've seen you before. Are you from Jiuxiao Manor?" Ning Hongze was in poor health, and for him, the life of wandering the world with a sword was a luxury.
He never left Jiuxiao Manor.
Therefore, the person who would be familiar to him must be from Jiuxiao Manor.
Ning Chengze actually sent someone like this to follow Wen Zhongtian. It seems he has ulterior motives.
He probably didn't expect that this person had a grudge against Wen Zhongtian, so he directly abandoned the mission and chose to take revenge.
"I'm not." The man in black's expression changed slightly.
"You must be... let me guess, someone close to my mother? But my mother would never do such a thing." Madam Ning had always wanted to bring Wen Zhongtian and Feng'er together, so she certainly wouldn't let anyone harm him.
"What does Ning Chengze want you to do?"
"What are you saying? I don't understand." The man in black never expected that Ning Hongze would remember him.
The man in black was pale. He had not only ruined the second young master's plans because of his personal affairs, but he had also been recognized by the eldest young master.
The second young master won't let him off the hook, and even if the manor lord finds out, he won't let him go either; it might even implicate his family. His daughter has already gone mad; he can't let his son suffer the same fate.
Thinking of this, the man in black felt a wave of despair. He suddenly raised his hand, intending to slap it down on the top of his head.
Ning Hong grabbed his hand, preventing him from committing suicide.
"If you do something wrong, do you think of committing suicide to escape punishment? There's no such thing as a free lunch."
"Young Master, what exactly do you want?" The middle-aged man's eyes were bloodshot as he glared at Ning Hongze. He was already trying to kill himself, yet this man wouldn't let it go; was he determined to torture him?
"What do I want? You should ask Ning Chengze what he wants. He let Wen Zhongtian sneak into my manor for no reason and even had you follow him. Oh, right, you even attacked Wen Zhongtian. Are you trying to kill Wen Zhongtian on my manor so I can't defend myself?"
Based on his understanding of Ning Chengze, Ning Chengze might actually do such a thing.
In his view, Ning Chengze was a brainless guy who could only see the immediate benefits and could not think about the long-term situation at all.
For example, he framed Ning Hongze multiple times in order to secure the position of heir. He never imagined that they were just two brothers, and since Ning Hongze was in poor health, he was the only one who could inherit the Jiuxiao Manor. Only by helping each other could the two brothers better carry forward the Jiuxiao Manor.
But he chose to go against Ning Hongze, thus losing his only support.
That's absolutely stupid.
He is nothing like Ning Yunxiao's child.
Ning Yunxiao is a capable man, but unfortunately, he married a bad wife, and all three of his children have gone astray.
"Of course not, why would the Second Young Master think that way?"
"What were they thinking?"
Ning Hong then reached out and snapped the middle-aged man's hand, rendering him unable to commit suicide.
He wanted to keep this man so he could ask Madam Ning what she really wanted.
Of course, it's okay to have a little argument, but it's best to part on bad terms.
That way, Madam Ning would no longer pay attention to him. Their relationship was bad in the past, which was also because he was engaged. Madam Ning never thought of arranging an engagement for him.
However, their relationship has improved considerably over the past year.
Madam Ning then had the idea of introducing him to potential partners.
He'd heard she was from her maternal family. Despite her effusive boasting, his heart pounded with apprehension.
To be honest, even if he really wanted to get married, he couldn't marry into Madam Ning's family.
Who knows what kind of person he is? What if he's like Madam Ning? He'd be devastated.
If things have really fallen out like this, I wonder if she might want to marry her niece or some other niece to him.
Ning Hong had pretty much guessed what Madam Ning was thinking.
She hadn't mentioned her family before because she was afraid that Ning Hongze was in poor health and, since he wasn't the heir to Jiuxiao Manor and was destined to have no future, she didn't want to push her family's daughter into such a predicament.
Now that he is in good health and the distillery is making a fortune every day, his mind has become restless.
Ironically, it seems that in Madam Ning's heart, her nephews and nieces were far more precious than her own son.
However, Ning Hong is not the original owner of this body. He has no feelings for Madam Ning at all. As long as he can protect her life, that is enough for him.
The next morning, Ning Hong, along with Ning Feng'er, dumped the injured Wen Zhongtian and the man in black in front of Ning Yunxiao.
