Ning Zhishui glanced at his father and saw him nodding, so he responded with a smile, "This is the best way. It won't be too late for us to leave after the affairs at home are settled, but it's just a little troublesome for senior brother. .”
"It doesn't matter, I've just been meditating for two days." Huai Xiao said, "I still have some matters in the sect that I want to talk to my junior sister about, I don't know..."
He looked around and paused.
"Come here, take the distinguished guest and the young lady to Feng Pavilion." Ning Zhongfeng ordered the boy.
Ning Zhishui glanced at his family before going down with Huai Xiao.
After the two left, the front hall fell into an eerie silence.
The change of things was so sudden that everyone felt a little inexplicable for a moment.
Ning Zhongfeng coughed slightly and looked at the elder with the highest cultivation level among the people present, "Fourth uncle, Ning Tao ignored human ethics and poisoned his father. Please handle him according to the clan rules."
The fourth uncle is the most Buddhist, and he doesn't care about the new head of the family at all. Anyway, he will not interfere no matter who is the head of the family.
When Ning Cheng and Ning Tao argued before, the fourth uncle was the calmest and did not interfere at all, just waiting for the result quietly.
And now, the results are out.
"This is natural. Come, take Ning Zhu Ningshuang down and imprison him first." After saying that, he stood up and walked towards Ning Tao, "You, follow me to the ancestral hall."
According to the clan rules, Ning Tao is destined to die and must be executed in front of the memorial tablets of his ancestors.
The fourth uncle could see the situation and was shocked and delighted that the Ning family had climbed such a big tree in the Xianlai Sect, so he was willing to stretch out his hand and carry out the execution himself.
Ning Tao's face changed and he was about to resist, but with so many people present, how could he have a chance?
"you--"
Even before he showed his magical weapon, his fourth uncle held his neck and left. He only grunted the whole time and couldn't even utter a single word.
Ning Zhu and Ning Shuang never expected that things would progress like this!
They were respectfully called Young Master and Young Lady in the house, and even if they were not direct children, they still enjoyed everything with peace of mind. Even facing Ning Chuanzhu and his three brothers and sisters, they only felt that they were superior to others.
But from the sky to the mud, it takes less than a quarter of an hour!
How can they accept it?
The two were panicked and wanted to scream and resist, but in the end they were carried down like little chickens.
Other members of the clan also had to go to the ancestral hall to watch the execution, so they got up one after another.
Ning Cheng also wanted to go to the ancestral hall. From the corner of his eye, he saw Ning Zhongfeng walking senilely with Cheng Hai's support. Finally, he felt that he couldn't bear it anymore, so he supported one of his arms.
Ning Zhongfeng's arms trembled and he looked at Ning Cheng. He said nothing, but the corners of his mouth tightened.
People always make all kinds of mistakes. They don't feel it at the moment they make it, nor do they feel it for a short period of time after they make it. But after a few years, some regrets and guilt will eat up their hearts, and they can no longer be at peace. .
Ning Zhongfeng used to value Ning Cheng's qualifications, but he disliked him after learning that his aura was different. The huge disappointment made him not want to see his son.
In addition, he believed the slander around him and believed that Ning Cheng had long known that there was something wrong with his spiritual energy, but had always concealed it and never proactively informed him, so he also felt that there was something wrong with his son's character.
So even though he knew he was being bullied and lost his self-esteem, he still didn't stretch out his hands to help him.
After that, Ning Cheng left the Ning family. After several twists and turns, he changed his residence again and again. In the end, he lost all contact with him.
It's not that Ning Zhongfeng didn't send people to look for his son during this period, but he didn't know if he really couldn't find him or if Ning Tao was hindering him. In short, there was no news about him for so many years.
My son never contacted me, and I couldn't find anyone. Even if I regretted it, I had no chance.
Otherwise, if he had known his son's whereabouts, how could he have tolerated Ning Tao until today?
The reason why he was hanging on for breath, carrying such a broken body, was simply because he still held on to a glimmer of hope, thinking that maybe if he held on a little longer, he would wait for the news of his son's return.
Ning Zhongfeng didn't even expect that he would actually come back...
The skin is old and deeply wrinkled, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes hang down, covering most of his eyes, and also covering the traces of moisture in Ning Zhongfeng's eyes.
Just come back, just come back...
Even if he no longer recognizes himself as his father and only feels full of resentment towards himself, that's fine.
Ning Zhishui and Huai Xiao arrived at the pavilion, and Ning Zhishui poured tea for Huai Xiao himself.
"Brother, I'm sorry, something happened at home. Thank you for being willing to stay and help me."
How could she not know that the reason why Huai Xiao agreed to stay was because he was willing to support her?
Not to mention that she knew, who of the people present just now didn’t know?
With Huai Xiao's status, if he didn't want to have anything to do with the Ning family, he could have refused when Ning Zhongfeng asked him to stay.
Even if he really wanted to escort Ning Zhishui, he could stay at an inn in the city and there was no need to stay at Ning's house.
So when he agreed to stay, he was actually making a statement.
It was impossible for Huaixiao to not notice the complicated atmosphere in the hall just now, as well as the undercurrent of tension, but he was still willing to stay.
Of course we should remember this love.
"It's just a little effort. I can't help you with anything." Huai Xiao smiled and took a sip of tea.
If you can help with just one sentence, it's not really that much of a help.
Even if they don't have themselves, they can still do it, but it may take some trouble.
Besides, he was also willing to help the great elder's disciples.
Ning Zhishui didn't say much, nor did he mention anything about the Ning family. He just chatted with Huai Xiao about things in the sect.
For example, basic issues such as the situation of each peak and the distribution of forces.
Ning Zhishui had visited the Xianlai Sect in his previous life, but he only attended a ceremony and then left, and did not live there for a long time.
So these questions I asked are not just pretending to ask, but I really don’t know.
While answering, Huai Xiao looked at Ning Zhishui and felt that her conversation and temperament were mature beyond her years. The most rare thing was that she was calm and calm, without the excitement, anxiety or even fear when others saw her.
Well, I seem to understand why the Grand Elder accepted her.
When the questions were almost finished, Ning Zhishui stopped and ordered the waiting boy to take Huai Xiao back to the guest room to rest.
And she walked towards the ancestral hall.
Ning Tao's death was no surprise.
Without Ning Cheng's arrival, the dying Ning Zhongfeng might not be able to do anything to him, but now Ning Cheng's strong addition has broken the original pattern.
Just because Ning Tao poisoned Ning Zhongfeng, he would definitely die, not to mention the evil things he had allowed his cronies and sons to do over the years. (End of chapter)
