Almost all the people invited have arrived, and the host elder appeared on stage.

The place quickly fell silent.

The presiding elder said: "Distinguished guests, we are gathered here today not only to communicate with our colleagues, relatives and friends, but also to participate in charity for the people of the world."

"Before his death, old director Li Leifeng was still concerned about his successors."

"Now, we have the most appropriate solution."

"Sir Zhu Hou comes from the Nandou royal family and is known for his kindness and generosity. He will inherit the Salesian Kindergarten and assume the important responsibility of the director."

"I would like to respectfully invite Mr. Zhu to come to the stage and speak and give me some advice."

A middle-aged man with a wide body and a fat body walked onto the stage with a smile.

Today, Zhu Hou is wearing a green satin robe, with a jade pendant around his waist, and his steps are steady. The way he moves his hands and feet reveals the majesty of the Zhu family's royal family.

He stood on the stage, clasping his hands and fists, looking around and letting out a hearty laugh.

"Comrades, I am really scared that Zhu will take over the post of director of the Salesian Kindergarten today."

"The way of charity is to benefit the common people, Shiren Bude. I deeply admire the kindness and kindness of the former director Li Leifeng. Today I will inherit his ambition and continue to carry forward this good deed."

…

"In the future, our school will expand its support to orphans and even poor students. The money donated by all the philanthropists will definitely be used to save the world and help people all over the world. Here, I am willing to set an example and take the lead.

Donate one hundred thousand spiritual stones to show your sincerity!"

…

Zhu Hou naturally had a purpose in holding this succession ceremony.

The main purpose is to make a formal appearance and raise the first donation since taking office.

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Xuanji's voice came from the third floor: "Okay! Uncle Zhu Hou said very well. I, Zhu Xuanji, also donated 100,000 spiritual stones to congratulate uncle Zhu on his succession."

Zhu Xuanji came here this time with the intention of supporting Zhu Hou, but now he did his duty and took action decisively.

The amount he donated is very interesting, it was only 100,000 yuan, the same as Zhu Hou.

This made everyone else who heard this feel relieved. Instead of feeling pressured, they were eager to make the next donation.

However, these people also knew the rules and did not speak out immediately.

They are waiting for someone else.

The next moment, Zixiao Pavilion's True Golden Elixir really spoke and announced a donation of 100,000 pieces of spiritual stones.

As soon as he finished speaking, the foundation-building monks rushed to shout, and the voices of donations kept coming and going.

For a time, the atmosphere in the building was very lively.

The atmosphere in the box was depressing.

Ning Zhuo was sitting next to Zhu Xuanji. After he came in and sat down, he remained silent and did not touch the exquisite spiritual food and tea on the round table.

Zhu Xuanji turned his head slightly, stared at Ning Zhuo with his golden eyes, and said with a smile: "Seeing this scene now, Ning Zhuo, how do you feel?"

Ning Zhuo raised his eyes and looked at Zhu Xuanji. To Ning Zhuo, the latter's smile was like the bloody mouth of a beast.

Ning Zhuo's heart felt like a huge stone was weighing on him, and his eyes did not dodge in any way.

He said calmly: "Of course I hope Lord Zhu Hou can do what he says. I hope that the Salesian Kindergarten in Huoshixian City can do better and better."

"Yes." Zhu Xuanzhi said immediately, he was full of confidence in Zhu Hou.

The smile on his face was a little deeper: "I saw your name from the donation records of Salesian Kindergarten."

"You have donated several sums of money to the Salesian Kindergarten in the past."

"Why don't you donate a little on such an important day today?"

Ning Zhuo took a breath.

He tried to calm himself down, but the pressure in his heart increased dramatically!

All because he knew very well that Zhu Xuanzhi's seemingly ordinary questions hid a huge threat. If he was not careful in dealing with it, he would get into trouble with the other party.

This time, the confrontation between him and Zhu Xuanji has officially begun!

The bustle of the outside world has nothing to do with him.

Even the hustle and bustle only highlighted his loneliness and hardship at the moment.

Zhu Xuanji was like a skilled assassin, handing over his sword to attack. On the surface, it looked ordinary, but Ning Zhuo was convinced that the opponent must have an exquisite follow-up move. Once he made a mistake in dealing with it and lost every step, it was very likely that he would lose everything.

From then on, he was suppressed until there was no hope of winning anymore!

Ning Zhuo frowned slightly, thoughts flashing like lightning in his mind. He quickly considered his words and said cautiously: "Be kind to yourself and help the world. Although I am pragmatic, I can still be considered ideal."

"Besides, I was also taken care of by Mr. Li Leifeng when I was a child. He was kind to me."

Then, Ning Zhuo changed the subject: "Of course, I also have selfish motives."

"You know, I really want to separate our family."

"I want to start my own family!"

"I'm already doing this, but if a force wants to develop and grow, it also needs fresh blood and foreign talents."

"Especially for someone like me who is just starting out, my background is too shallow, so the more new people the better!"

"That's why I've been donating during this time."

“There will be more donations of this kind in the future!”

Ning Zhuo smiled, and then said with an expressionless face: "The policies of the Salesian Kindergarten are very excellent. How many talents have been recruited for the righteous forces in Nandou Country."

"I am a member of the Ning family, and I am also a member of the righteous way. Of course I also want a share of the pie."

"You see, Mr. Zhu, I paid the money. This is in line with the rules."

“As for why I’m not donating today? Hey!”

"Today is not the right day. I am now managing the black market, and my righteous identity is not so glamorous, so I will not be a destroyer of this atmosphere."

"I want to donate. I can achieve my goal by donating secretly in the future. Why would I do something so disgusting?"

After hearing Ning Zhuo's response, Zhu Xuanji fell into a brief silence.

Ning Zhuo wanted to separate the family and form his own power, and he, Zhu Xuanji, knew it very well.

Ning Zhuo took the initiative to mention this matter to Ning Yifan many times in front of him!

Even Zhu Xuanji felt that this boy was very courageous. He dared to speak like this to his Jindan ancestor when he was only in the Qi refining stage.

Zhu Xuanji admired Ning Zhuo.

To be precise, it is quite appreciated.

Especially after hearing Ning Zhuo's response, he understood Ning Zhuo better - the young man in front of him was definitely experienced! He knew the rules of the game of the righteous way well. Although he was young, he was as cunning and sophisticated as an old fox.

.He has very clear goals, cares about the feelings of others, and can empathize with them.

Ning Zhuo is both hypocritical and sincere.

And this kind of righteous hypocrisy, when it fell on his young boy, actually seemed to have a lot of cuteness.

Ning Zhuo's response is excellent.

This answer made Zhu Xuanzhi's favorable impression of him grow even more.

Zhu Xuanji laughed and broke the silence: "Even if you have selfish motives, as long as you repay your kindness, that is the right way. Who in this world has no selfish motives?"

"Even if I am observing the public sentiment, investigating cases, and pursuing criminals all year round, a considerable part of my purpose is to safeguard the royal family."

"Ning Zhuo, your nature is not bad. If you act upright, you will have a bright future. However, there will always be countless mistakes in life. I have seen many people with good nature, but because of a mistake, they went astray and committed sins. They regretted it later.

By now, it’s already too late.”

Having said this, Zhu Xuanji stared at Ning Zhuo with a solemn look on his face.

He obviously didn't use any magic power, but his tone and demeanor showed powerful oppressive power.

Ning Zhuo took a deep breath and looked away, as if a flash of lightning flashed across his mind.

He quickly saw through Zhu Xuanji's intention: "Is he trying to win over me?"

Realizing this, Ning Zhuo's heart suddenly became lively.

"If Zhu Xuanji finds out that I am the culprit, he will never treat me like this, but will take it down directly!"

"Based on his character, he should have discovered something suspicious about me, but wanted to follow my lead to find out the real culprit behind the scenes!"

But where is the real culprit behind the scenes?

Ning Zhuo is the person who bombed the Immortal Palace, laid out the trial levels, launched a battle in the city to kill Qi Bai, framed his own genius Ning Xiaohui, directed the Jindan melee, bombarded the volcano and caused a wave of monsters to attack the city, and planned the Yun Shang heist!

"I have great value in Zhu Xuanzhi's heart, and he wants to instigate rebellion against me. If there is really someone behind the scenes, he may even let me serve as a witness."

"So, have we reached the third line of defense?"

Ning Zhuo's mood fluctuated.

In order to compete for the Lava Fairy Palace, he carefully prepared several lines of defense.

The first line of defense is to act out continuously from the age of two, creating various evidences scattered throughout the trajectory of growth.

When others investigate this, they will think that Ning Zhuo has the talent of a spy, and they will think that it is reasonable for him to develop the explosive monkey and other traps.

The second line of defense is the identity of the customer.

The third line of defense would be to think that Ning Zhuo was being used and was an accessory, but not the leader. After all, this young man was only sixteen years old, had just come out of school, and was only at the middle level of Qi Refining.

Ning Zhuo was slightly relieved, the situation was not bad enough to take the last step - to use force to confront Zhu Xuanzhi head-on.

"But what clues did Zhu Xuanji get to directly bypass the second line of defense and reach the third line?"

Ning Zhuo couldn't think of an answer to this question.

He could only guess: "Has Han Ming been arrested? Did Sun Lingtong steal the treasure, causing Yun Shang to provide clues?"

"Or...Sales Kindergarten?"

Ning Zhuo lacked key information, and even though he was quite resourceful, he could not determine the truth.

He was thinking hard and sweat was forming on his forehead.

Zhu Xuanji saw his embarrassed look, but did not let him go, and asked: "Ning Zhuo, what do you think of what I just said?"

"Do you think your own path is the right path or the wrong path?"

Ning Zhuo's pressure increased dramatically!

At this moment, he felt as if Zhu Xuanji had stabbed his throat with a sword.

How to respond?

This is very critical!

Spying?

If you are not careful, you will anger Zhu Xuanji.

Remain silent?

This was a complete abandonment of the initiative and would convey acquiescence to Zhu Xuanzhi.

In Ning Zhuo's mind, countless thoughts appeared crazily and disappeared quickly.

In just a few breaths, he already felt his mouth was dry.
Chapter completed!
