But the big man did not speak, but suddenly slapped a white wall behind him with his palm. Just when Ning Wuji was confused, there was a sudden loud bang, which startled Ning Wuji.
However, what shocked Ning Wuji even more was that Cheng Yu was holding someone on his hand at this moment, and this person was none other than the housekeeper who had just led Cheng Yu.
Obviously, this guy was hiding in the isolation room and eavesdropping, but he was discovered by Cheng Yu, so he was directly captured from the other side of the wall.
"Butler Pang! What's going on?" Ning Wuji was not a fool. Why Butler Pang appeared in the next room, his purpose was already clear.
However, he was very heartbroken. Butler Pang had been in the Ning family for decades. He had always believed in Butler Pang. Naturally, he even gave him life-extending elixirs, allowing him to live much longer than ordinary people. But he didn't expect that even Butler Pang would betray him now, which made him very heartbroken.
"Master, I just saw that the room next door hasn't been cleaned for a long time. I was going to clean it up, but I don't know how it ended up here!" Butler Pang cried.
"Do you think I will believe it? Butler Pang, you disappoint me so much. I, Ning Wuji, don't treat you lightly, and you betrayed me. Tell me, who asked you to eavesdrop?" Ning Wuji said angrily.
"Master, I'm really here to clean the room next door." Butler Pang said harshly.
"Shut up, don't force me! For the sake of you and my master and servant for many years, I may be able to spare your life!" Ning Wuji shouted angrily.
"Master, have mercy! Master, have mercy! It's... it's the messenger from last time. He asked me to eavesdrop on all the strangers who came into contact with me!" Butler Pang knelt on the ground and kept begging for mercy.
"Is it him?" Ning Wuji's heart tightened. That person was none other than the envoy sent by the dynasty.
The envoy was here to investigate the Fang family's affairs. After all, this matter was related to their Ning family, especially since his daughter had been rescued. Therefore, they thought that those mysterious men in black robes would have something to do with them, or maybe they thought those men in black robes would appear in Ningshui City.
However, he knew that the dynasty had been sending people to keep an eye on him, but he did not expect that even his housekeeper had been bribed.
"What benefits did he give you to make you betray me?" Ning Wuji looked heartbroken at such an old butler who had served him for so many years.
He would rather Wuji was not a ruthless person. If he was not a heinous person, he would not want to kill Butler Pang.
"I'm confused, I beg you to have mercy and don't kill me!" But Butler Pang didn't say the reason, but kept kowtowing and begging for mercy.
"Say!" Ning Wuji shouted angrily.
"He...he promised to let our family learn the art of immortality." Butler Pang said tremblingly.
"Promise to let you learn the art of immortality? But I have told you a long time ago that your family has no talent for cultivation, and even if you practice it forcefully, it will be of no use. Moreover, I have also given each of your family a life-prolonging pill. Why do you still want it? What about learning the art of immortality? Or even betraying me for it?" Ning Wuji said heartbrokenly.
Of course he will take care of his own housekeeper. However, the Pang family does not have the talent for cultivation. That's why he gave them longevity elixirs.
Because with their talents, even if they really practice, it is just a waste of time and of no use.
Moreover, if the Pang family really wants to learn this art of immortality, he can definitely help them, and there is no harm in letting them learn. But he never mentioned it later, and he thought they listened to his words.
However, he never thought that the Pang family would betray him in the end because of this.
"He...he said he could help us!" Butler Pang was a little scared, but he still said nervously.
"Steward Pang, you are too naive. You have been with me for so long, don't you know the difficulties of this practice? Yes, you don't have the talent for practice. I can really use other methods to help you.
But do you know that these methods are either extremely difficult or very costly? Do you think they will really pay such a high price for your Pang family for the little information you have collected? "Ning Wuji said helplessly.
"This..." Butler Pang was stunned when he heard Ning Wuji's words.
He is not a cultivator, but he has always taken care of all the big and small things in the City Lord's Mansion. He also knew that not everyone could practice immortality, but he didn't want to die, and neither did his family.
That's why I got the elixir of longevity from Ning Wuji. However, this does not last long, and this longevity pill can only increase your life span by five years.
Therefore, after the messenger found him, he agreed to his condition, so he betrayed Ning Wuji.
"Alas! Seeing that you have followed me for so many years, even if you have no credit, you have worked hard. I won't kill you this time, so you can leave!" Ning Wuji waved his hand. No matter how much Butler Pang is in the Ning family, He was conscientious and kept the Ning family in order.
Moreover, during this year, he never left the Ning family, and no one came to visit him. Presumably he didn't inquire about anything. This must be his first time eavesdropping.
However, although he felt sorry for Butler Pang's mistakes, he would not use someone who had betrayed him again. Letting him go would be considered the end of his kindness.
"Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir!" Butler Pang breathed a sigh of relief and quickly got up from the landlord to leave.
"Wait a minute!" The voice came from the rugged man who had been standing quietly aside.
Ning Wuji looked at the big man with some doubts. He really couldn't see through the strength of this big man. But judging from the opponent's move just now, this big man's strength may have exceeded his imagination.
When Butler Pang heard the big man's voice, he was almost frightened to death. Ning Wuji had let him go, so why did he want to stop him?
"You must not be the only one in the Ning family who has been bribed, right? City Lord Ning was kind to you and did not kill you. Shouldn't you repay him and tell City Lord Ning about the Ning family's spy?" The big man said lightly.
Hearing the big man's words, Butler Pang trembled, and Ning Wuji glanced at the big man gratefully. He felt that he was too negligent and had forgotten about it, and then he also looked at Butler Pang.
"Master, I'm really sorry for you. All the people who usually serve you have been bribed by me!" Butler Pang thought for a while, and finally told the truth.
However, when he heard the other party's words, Ning Wuji was livid. It turns out that all the people around me have been bribed.
Fortunately, this big man showed up today, and nothing major happened. If something happens in the future, can he still count on these people?
Thinking of this, he broke into a cold sweat!
"Take all these people away. This is my last mercy. If I know that you have left other people with me, don't blame me, Ning Wuji, for being rude!" Ning Wuji said coldly.
