Ningxia originally wanted to stay in Shanshi City for the last few days and rearrange the defensive formations of Ning Mansion.
The time of a monk cannot be waited for by ordinary people. In the blink of an eye, it is uncertain whether it is goodbye forever. Ningxia has known this for a long time, and has always warned herself to cherish it and not wait for the day when she regrets it.
Now that Ning Dengrong is in the prime of life and the Ning family is still prosperous, it is not convenient for her, an outsider, to interfere.
But there are always many unexpected things in life. Who knows what will happen next moment. Ningxia didn't dare to bet on this eventuality, because there were always times when she couldn't take care of it.
There is no need to look for another example for this. Just look at the sect’s previous masters and seniors who had gone into seclusion. It was just a mountain retreat. Maybe for him it was just a matter of sleep, but when he came out, he was already an object. Right and wrong. The prosperous family was forced to have only three or two kittens left, and the clan members were so destitute that they had to beg for mercy from low-level monks in order to survive - this was when everyone knew that their ancestors were still alive and practicing in seclusion...
Ningxia really couldn't guarantee how much time and energy she would be able to devote to taking care of her family in the future, because the road she was on was too bumpy, and she couldn't even guarantee how long she would survive.
Human life is so fragile, even monks can live and die in a matter of thoughts, let alone mortals.
So the best way is to make arrangements within her ability to provide adequate protection for her family - this is the only thing she can do for her family.
However, plans cannot keep up with changes, things are unpredictable, and many things are unthinkable.
On the morning of the second day of the meeting, when the sky was slightly bright, Ning Mansion received a visitor who should not be here at this time.
Lin Pingzhen was still wearing the same set of cassocks as yesterday. Although his temples were neatly trimmed and his clothes were wrinkle-free, his face looked tired. A chill from the midnight dew and frost hit his face. It seemed that he had just come here without sleeping all night.
When she received Lin Pingzhen's message, Ningxia had just woken up from her sleep, her mind was a little dazed, and she thought she was dreaming.
As the Romans do in the countryside, Ningxia now sleeps less and less. In addition to being able to sleep peacefully in Zongmen Tao Ranju's home, he rarely really falls asleep when he is outside Ningxia. Sometimes, if he is really tired, he can still sleep for a while in the small black box. Unconsciously, she moved closer and closer to the local monks to rest her mind instead of sleeping.
The Ning family was different after all, the place where her biological family was, and her spirit was much more relaxed. She has been sleeping lightly these days, and last night she slept a little deeper because of the problem with her soul. Unexpectedly, what woke her up in the morning was not her biological clock, which was already accurate, but Lin Pingzhen.
She approved her clothes, pulled her hair a few times, and hurried to the courtyard to open the door and invite people in.
There was obvious trouble on the other party's face. Seeing Ning Xia rushing out, there was an imperceptible shyness on his face. He probably felt that it was rude to knock on the door so early in the morning.
But the situation was so urgent that he couldn't care less.
The two of them entered the courtyard together, and Ning Xia led her into the hall, and then told those who came to serve tea to keep their mouth shut and try not to let others in.
"Brother, what's going on?" Ning Xia quickly asked what was going on.
Ning Xia has known this person for many years, and she knows how stable this person is. Ning Xia rarely sees the other person's emotions fluctuating too much, and this person is restrained even if he is angry.
She looked at the other person's current mood, which could not be said to be out of control, but could also be called abnormally anxious. It seems that it has exceeded a certain threshold and is just a hair away from bursting out.
As the saying goes, "When water overflows, it overflows." Too much of anything is not a good thing. For Lin Pingzhen, extreme restraint can only help him go further, but it will one day become his constraint.
Because of excessive restraint, once a person's will weakens a little, his emotions may double or even multiply. If he loses control, his foundation and even his state of mind may be damaged.
A lot of things happened these days, and it was not just Ningxia who felt tired and accumulated. Lin Pingzhen also shouldered a lot of responsibilities due to his identity in this secret realm, and he also had the experience of being injured in a fight.
As a result, he didn't rest for many days after he came out. He was probably recovering from trauma and grief. He didn't have time to recuperate and cultivate himself for a few days, so he had to attend various occasions with the leader. The recovery of the spiritual power of heaven and earth is not a trivial matter. Although the Wuhua Sect has a high position, it is by no means secure in its position. If the Wuhua Sect wants to seize the opportunity and get ahead of the lower-ranking sects, it must be more foresight than any other sect.
And what they have to deal with is not just the matter of the spiritual power of heaven and earth, there are also secrets hidden in the door. Their ancestors have been struggling for this for many years. Now is a critical period, so no accidents can happen.
Lin Pingzhen has a heavy burden on his shoulders, which is a huge pressure both physically and mentally. He is already considered a very strong and resilient person. No matter how hard he is, he will not show it easily. He does not want to worry the elders of the sect, nor does he want to affect the sect's progress due to his own personal reasons. This kind of self-dedication is also his spirit. A display of extremely restrained character.
——This is not a normal and healthy psychology for ordinary people. But it is his important character that many elders of the sect pushed him to ascend to the throne as the heir to the head. The so-called leader is the leader of a sect, and cultivation and talent are secondary. The most important thing is to have the ability to lead the disciples under him to reach the peak.
Lin Pingzhen has always done a good job here and never disappoints. The only person he was sorry for was probably himself.
However, even though Lin Pingzhen was still working hard despite having such a hard time, there were still people who worked tirelessly to cause trouble for him, making his not-so-simple private life even worse.
Why would a woman with almost no merit except her appearance drag such a good person into the abyss for her own selfishness?
Everyone in the sect knew that Lin Ping really had a fiancée in the mortal world. Many people from various forces worked hard on this, but in the end they all failed. Lin Ping was truly a true gentleman and never wavered.
Later, Yuan Guifang joined the sect and was accepted by True Lord Wenhui. The sect felt a lot of peace of mind. Although Shui Xiufeng's disciples of several generations are incompetent, there are several ancestors who are in charge. Lin Pingzhen may get more support by marrying them and control the sect more smoothly in the future.
Although not everyone in the world of cultivation knows how to form a Taoist couple, upper-level monks are quite keen on using this method to connect and integrate forces. Everyone also thought that this would be a well-matched Taoist couple.
I never thought that Yuan Guifang was a failure. Not only did he fail to live up to his expectations, he also intended to drag other people's good children into the abyss.
How could True Lord Xuanyang and the elders who supported Master Xuanyang and his disciples endure this?
