Ning Zhuo held the cup, took a sip, and smiled at the head of the Ning family: "Master Patriarch, don't you want your son to return to the family?"

The head of the Ning family was shocked.

He never thought that these words would come out of Ning Zhuo's mouth.

Because Ning Xiaoren was brought down by Ning Zhuo!

According to the knowledge of the head of the Ning family, Ning Zhuo should be extremely disgusted with Ning Xiaoren. How could he say such a thing?

The head of the Ning family was shocked.

At this moment, he suddenly saw clearly part of Ning Zhuo's true face!

The young man in front of me is well versed in the right path. He is the same type of person as himself.

What kind of person?

Cold to the point of ruthlessness, putting interests above personal feelings!

In other words, the emotions he shows on the outside are just masks, a disguise that best suits his personal interests!

The head of the Ning family thought that he had clearly seen Ning Zhuo's true nature.

As a result, he showed an unprecedented serious look.

For the first time, he treated Ning Zhuo as an equal and treated him seriously.

"Xiaoren..." The head of the Ning family mentioned his son, with a gentle look on his face, "I do hope he can come back. But how do you expect me to believe you that you can bring him back?"

Ning Zhuo's face was expressionless: "Since I can pull him off his horse, I can naturally pull him back."

"Didn't he also want to be attached to me some time ago?"

"I can agree to this and let him be by my side and do things for me. With my current status, isn't it easy to arrange something for him and give him some credit?"

"When the time comes, I will personally come forward and announce to everyone that Ning Xiaoren has changed his mind and has gained my understanding. Then, his political stain will be washed away."

"Look, what a perfect method. I am the only one in the world who can do this."

"I believe this is a scene that Patriarch Ning Jingfan would like to see."

"After all, our branch and your main branch all have the surname Ning, and we are all one family."

Hearing Ning Zhuo, the man who had tried his best to separate the family, say this, the head of the Ning family sneered: "How shameless this is!"

After pondering for a moment, the head of the Ning family nodded slowly with a heavy expression.

The head of the Ning family left, leaving Ning Zhuo alone in a room.

"Split the family, split the family..." He sighed in his heart.

He always brought up this idea, whenever he had the chance, it was not just a joke.

The sect has a soul lamp, the country has a directory, the alliance has a covenant, and the family naturally has things to restrain its children.

When a new baby in the family is born, the cut umbilical cord will be made into a ritual blood umbilical cord and sent to the ancestral hall under strict supervision.

After the baby is named, the name will also be made from the blood of the heart, the tip of the tongue, and the blood of the feet, and it will be described in the family tree.

These are just two main conventional methods, and there are also powerful restraint methods.

That is the ancestor of the underworld!

This world is divided into two sides: the Yang world and the underworld.

The Yangjian is the world where Ning Zhuo lives. The sun rises and the moon sets, the wind and clouds move, flowers, birds, insects and fish are full of vitality.

The underworld is full of ghosts, gloomy and gloomy, filled with the aura of death.

The entrance and exit of the underworld and the Yang world are called Guimenguan.

People are divided into yang lifespan and yin lifespan.

According to the natural rules of this world, when monks and mortals die, their souls will return to the underworld and stay there for many days. They will not truly die until their life span is exhausted.

To judge whether a family is a cultivating family, we must not only look at the size of the ethnic group and the highest cultivation level in the world of the world, but also the size and highest level of cultivation of the ancestors in the underworld.

The Ning family is an out-and-out wealthy cultivator family. Even though their power in the world of Yang is weak, in the underworld, they are very powerful.

This is because sixteen years ago, the Ning family migrated all the way from Beifeng Country and sacrificed too many clan members, including the Jindan monks!

The power of the underworld has been strongly replenished.

The connection between the underworld and the yang world is very strong.

The Ning family's annual family festival, the addition of a new descendant to the family, or the funeral will all involve contact with the underworld.

Therefore, for members of the family, breaking family rules and enforcing family laws are not something to be taken lightly.

Ning Zhuo needs the name to act independently.

If not, this will create a loophole for his next actions.

If the family seizes on this flaw and pursues the investigation, it will be a big trouble.

Even if Ning Zhuo doesn't die, he will still shed his skin.

Now, through the exchange of interests, the head of the Ning family has relented and agreed to the matter. The elders of the Ning family are all controlled by other factions in the main line, and now they are also persuaded by Ning Zhuo with the help of Ning Xiaohui's grandmother.

Ning Zhuo summoned Ning Xiangguo, Ning Xiangqiang, Ning Cui, Ning Chen, Ning Yong and others.

As soon as he started speaking, he was interrupted by Ning Zui: "What? Let the murderer go and let her go back?!"

"disagree!"

“I absolutely disagree!!”

Ning Ji couldn't sit still and stood up directly: "Ning Zhuo, Ning Ji is your cousin. He grew up with you."

"Now, he has been killed!"

"But you want to compromise with the main line, let the murderer go, and return it to them?"

"What will Ji'er think of you if you know something from under the spring?"

"I have fully supported you until now, and the Ning family branch has fully supported you to this extent. Your bones cannot be soft!"

Ning Zui didn't have any worries at first, and he knew the deep conflict between Ning Zhuo and the main line. Who would have expected that when the meeting was held this time, Ning Zhuo's first words were like a bolt from the blue, giving him a head start.

Ning Zui couldn't figure out why Ning Zhuo's attitude towards the main line had changed so drastically!

"Xiao Zhuo, if you do this, how can you be worthy of Ning Ji, how can you be worthy of us, how can you be worthy of the family branch that supports you!"

Ning Zuo cried and complained, trying every means and using various names to pressure Ning Zhuo to make changes and retract his original decision.

Ning Xiangguo and others also looked at Ning Zhuo with searching eyes.

Ning Yong opened his mouth to say something, but was stopped by Ning Chen, who was sitting beside him, holding his arm.

Ning Zhuo sighed deeply: "Uncle, please sit still."

"I can't sit down! Xiao Zhuo, please give me a promise, right now!" Ning Zui was very excited.

Ning Zhuo stopped looking at him and looked around with a heavy expression and a steady tone: "Of course I am worthy of you and worthy of the Ning family."

"My cousin died, and I am extremely sad. I believe that in this world, apart from my uncle and aunt, I am the one who wants to punish the murderer the most."

"I can't wait to split Ning Xiaohui's grandma in half right now!"

"But at the critical moment, I thought of another aspect."

"I am not alone, I am the hope of the Ning family branch and the person who will carry the banner in the future. I want revenge, it is just my selfish desire."

"But if in order to vent my selfish desires, the relationship between the branches of the Ning family and the main line becomes tense, the enemy will definitely take advantage of me at this critical moment!"

"Do you think this is true?"

Ning Zhuo stopped talking and looked at everyone in the hall.

Ning Xiangguo was the first to nod: "That's true. Young Master Zhuo has thought carefully about it. This is a critical moment for the imperial examination. In fact, because this matter involves your energy and time, it is already inappropriate. It is indeed not advisable to act too hastily.

"

Others also looked in agreement.

Ning Cui was indignant: "Even so, the murderer can be imprisoned and there is no need to send her back?"

Ning Zhuo sighed: "This is the second reason I want to say, and it is also the main reason."

"I have used this matter to reach an agreement with the important factions of the Ning family, and also with the head of the Ning family."

"I will release the murderer, and at the same time recruit Ning Xiaoren to work with me. In the future, I will publicly announce reconciliation and help him return to the family."

"And what we got is the unanimous decision of the clan leader and family elders - to hand over the power of dividing the family to me."

One stone stirs up a thousand waves.

Everyone was shocked, and several of them exclaimed: "Family separation?!"

After reacting, Ning moved forward, and Ning Yong and others asked urgently.

"Is this true? Did I hear you right?"

"If we really want to separate our families, that would be great!"

"I didn't expect you, Mr. Zhuo, to accomplish such a great thing without saying a word. Good luck, good luck!"

Only Ning Zuo was as dull as a stone statue, standing still, eyes wide open, staring at Ning Zhuo, clenching his fists and saying nothing.

Family separation is not a simple matter, it can be said to be quite rare.

The family is a small country, and the country is everyone. If the country is divided, that is a big deal. Splitting the family is also a big deal for a family!

After a family division, a family is bound to fall into a period of decline.

The tribesmen who were separated were able to build new mountains and open up new foundations.

Everyone has huge room for advancement.

Ning Zhuo, a branch of the family, jumped out and became the patriarch of the branch.

Ning Xiangguo, Ning Xiangqian and others may become the elders of the separated family.

Ning Chen, Ning Yong and other juniors who are closely related to Ning Zhuo will be favored by the resources of the branch family, and it is unknown whether they will be promoted to family elders in the future.

As for the resources of the separate family, let’s not talk about anything else.

Simply speaking, for every sacrifice, you can use the name and identity of the clan leader and family elder to communicate with the ancestors in the underworld and obtain huge benefits.

On the other hand, before the separation of the family, people like Ning Xiangguo couldn't even serve as family deacons.

Seeing everyone's expressions of ecstasy, Ning Zhuo sighed deeply: "Although I wish to kill Grandma Ning Xiaohui immediately, for the sake of the overall situation and the future of all of us, I am willing to suppress my selfish desires and do this with blood and pain.

I hope you can understand and support my decision."

Everyone in the hall was immediately moved.

"Boss, I know that you have deep love and righteousness. When Ning Ji was alive, he was corrupt and pretended to be powerful. Many people sued you, but you suppressed them all. You must be eager to cut the murderer into pieces. I understand.

You!" Ning Yong said first.

Ning Chen sighed deeply: "Boss, you have made too many sacrifices and shouldered too many burdens. I misunderstood you just now, and I can't help you. Now I understand your good intentions, and I

Wrong!!"

Ning Xiangguo stood up and saluted Ning Zhuo: "Chief, please tell me what to do next. I am willing to encourage you!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone turned their attention.

Ning Chen thought to himself: "I learned it, I learned it."

Ning Zhuo exhaled a breath and nodded slightly: "I am very relieved to receive everyone's support and understanding."

"Uncle, what do you think?"

Ning Zui stayed in place for a while.

Hearing Ning Zhuo's question, he chuckled, looked at Ning Zhuo, and then scanned the hall.

The joys and sorrows of people are not the same.

Seeing the faint joy of everyone, Ning Zui, who was filled with the pain of losing his son, felt desolate. He felt that he was out of tune with the people around him.

Others were cooking in a blazing fire and surrounded by flowers, but he was in a world of ice and snow, as if he had been abandoned by the world.

In the end, Ning Zuo's eyes locked on Ning Zhuo.

Not long ago, he used his righteousness to represent the branch of the Ning family to put pressure on Ning Zhuo, forcing him to avenge Ning Ji.

But now, after Ning Zhuo gently threw away the pieces of meat from the branch family, the entire Ning family branch has been tempted and gone crazy. How can they care about the death of a small Qi refiner?

Ning Zui's voice was hoarse: "Ning Zhuo, your cousin's death was used by you as a bargaining chip, a tool to fight for your own interests!"

"What else can I say?"

"What else can I say?"

"I'm just very chilled, extremely chilled."

"Farewell, farewell."

After Ning Zui finished speaking, he left without looking back.

Ning Zhuo stood up quickly and wanted to save him, but Ning Zui walked very resolutely and his back was hunched.

Ning Zhuo stood at the door, watching Ning Cui leave, and sighed sadly: "Time is not forgiving, my uncle is so old."

"I'm so ashamed of him! Everyone, I'm so worried right now."

"Did I do something wrong or something right? I didn't know for a while."

Ning Qianqian and others hurriedly gathered around. They affirmed Ning Zhuo's actions and praised Ning Zhuo's sacrifice and dedication.

"You have shouldered too much for the entire family branch!" Ning said forward.

"Yes, clan leader." Ning Chen said.

Ning Xiangguo couldn't help but glance at Ning Chen and said comforting words: "Ning's blame is justifiable. After all, it is really painful for a white-haired person to send a black-haired person, and to lose a child in middle age."

"But I think he just didn't figure it out for a while."

"It's not like he can't be raised anymore. When he figures it out, he will find that he is already the elder of the family and is the closest to you, the patriarch."

"From a utilitarian point of view, Ning Ji's death was not in vain."

These words aroused Ning Yong's strong approval, and he echoed loudly: "Yes, yes. Ning Ji did not die in vain!"

Ning Zhuo gave his last words: "You must take good care of my uncle and aunt."

"I'm participating in the imperial examination and I can't get out of my way, so I'll leave it to you."

The others quickly responded.
