Chapter 471

Now Ning An had the confidence to keep it.

It was mainly because as his strength increased, his comprehension of various laws was also constantly improving.

The current Ning An was different from before.

Qingshan Base, Ning family residence.

Wen Qiao was discussing the issue of her son’s marriage with Mother Ning and Gu Nianxia.

"Changqing is already eighteen."

"It’s time to consider marriage!"

This age was already sufficient!

Secondly, Wen Qiao wanted to hold a grandson or granddaughter.

One had to know that the Ning family was not prosperous in people!

Their generation was fine because of special reasons.

But in Ning Changqing’s generation, this could not be the case.

Regarding this, neither Mother Ning nor Gu Nianxia had any objections.

They also knew that the Ning family lacked nothing, only people.

Naturally, because of the upcoming marriage, Wen Zhiqiao inevitably had to ask for the opinions of Ning Changqing, the other party, and Mother Ning.

"Ahem!"

"Marriage?!"

"Aren't I supposed to take the Martial Dao College Entrance Exam this year?!"

"I'm just about to enter a Martial Dao university!?"

Ning Changqing’s face was filled with resistance as he spoke.

These past two years had allowed him to raise his cultivation base to the Third Realm.

Coupled with his occasional trips to the complete battlefield for training,

his combat power had not fallen behind.

He could be considered among the stronger batch at the Third Realm level.

He was also considered to be in the ranks of the top prodigies.

It was a pity that he was still a bit short of being called a monster.

Especially with Ning Changqing’s attitude toward cultivation, which still hadn't changed much.

When it was time to slack off, he would absolutely not let the opportunity pass.

Even though Gu Weiwei had thought about managing Ning Changqing,

she ultimately shook her head!

Although her cultivation base was higher than Ning Changqing’s,

things didn't work out that way.

After all, this person was a headache even for her at the moment.

In the end, Gu Weiwei just felt it was a pity.

If she possessed Ning Changqing’s talent and resources, she might have already stepped into the High Realm by now.

Unfortunately, she still couldn't block Wen Zhiqiao’s will!

"I have one requirement,"

"and that is to wait until Dad comes out of seclusion to hold the wedding."

"If Dad isn't there, the wedding won't be complete, and I won't get married."

Ning Changqing quickly thought of another idea and said.

It could be said that this reason was well-founded and logical.

It even made Wen Zhiqiao hesitate for a moment.

But it was only for a moment, and the reason was simple.

Even she didn't know when Ning An would come out of seclusion.

With Ning An’s cultivation base, it was entirely possible for him to remain in seclusion for another ten-plus years.

It was obvious that Ning Changqing felt his old father’s current seclusion would definitely not be short.

So he would just drag it out first!

"No!"

Unfortunately, Wen Zhiqiao opposed it on the spot.

"Mom, can't we discuss this again?"

"Otherwise, let's set a three-year term; if Dad hasn't come out of seclusion,"

"then I'll get married!"

Ning Changqing tried his best to fight for himself as he spoke.

This actually made Wen Zhiqiao start to consider it.

Three years of time is not actually all that long.

Plus, Ning Changqing did look very green.

Compared to his father Ning An back then, the difference was indeed not small.

In Wen Zhiqiao’s memory, Ning An was already very mature when they got married.

In reality, she didn't know!

Ning An was, after all, living his second life; he was very steady when it came to marriage and such.

Secondly, Wen Zhiqiao was not some ugly monster either.

On the contrary, she could be considered a peerless beauty; why would he be unwilling?

However, Ning Changqing was clearly not interested in Gu Weiwei right now.

In fact, Gu Weiwei’s appearance was not bad at all!

Including all aspects, she was superior to the Wen Zhiqiao of the past.

After all, Wen Zhiqiao’s transformation only happened following Ning An’s rise.

It could only be said that Ning Changqing was still too naive at this moment.

"We'll go with the three-year agreement."

"But you cannot run away after three years."

After hesitating for a while, Wen Zhiqiao finally agreed and said.

"It's a deal!"

Ning Changqing immediately became excited and said.

Gu Weiwei, who was on the side, had a somewhat awkward expression.

Although she had received a lot of resources from the Ning family and had made great progress in terms of strength,

including her family behind her, which had also obtained many resources with the help of the Ning family,

such as the King-sealing Sea Beast meat from before!

Out of consideration for the in-laws, Wen Zhiqiao had given quite a generous portion of the King-sealing Sea Beast meat.

But as long as Gu Weiwei wasn't married to Ning Changqing,

she felt that her name was not justified and her words carried no weight!

However, Gu Weiwei herself was too embarrassed to suggest getting married sooner.

After all, she had no say in the matter!

Most of the decision-making power was controlled by this prospective mother-in-law.

Just after the agreement was made,

a ripple suddenly appeared in space.

Ning An’s true form stepped out from the space.

Because Ning An was in a somewhat special state right now,

he prepared to return to Qingshan to let his state of mind settle.

When he would enter the Saint realm in a single thought!

That is hard to say for sure.

In the living room, Wen Zhiqiao saw Ning An's figure; she was quite astonished at first, but then her reaction changed.

Ning An noticed this as well, clearly sensing that the atmosphere among the people in the living room seemed a bit off.

Some were joyful, some were miserable, and others seemed to be just watching the drama.

"What has happened here?!"

Ning An was the first to speak and ask.

"It's your son, he's really been taken down a peg this time!"

Wen Zhiqiao laughed out loud as she spoke.

Even she had not expected that Ning An would emerge from seclusion and return at this very moment.

She quickly explained the cause and effect.

Upon hearing this, even Ning An couldn't help but chuckle.

He hadn't expected his return to be so perfectly timed.

Seeing his eldest son with a mournful face, he actually felt quite pleased.

It was mainly because of his previous interactions with this eldest son.

He had long since seen that he was a troublemaker!

It was high time he was properly disciplined.

"Since that is the case, let's take advantage of this free time."

"Let's hold the wedding then."

"Has the Ning family made any preparations yet?!"

Ning An said slowly!

These words left Ning Changqing unable to resist.

Because he knew that his father's word was law.

"Don't worry, everything was already mostly prepared."

"We were just waiting for Changqing's consent."

Wen Zhiqiao answered without hesitation, her voice unable to hide her excitement.

The reason she had agreed to her dear son's three-year pact earlier...

...was actually not without the factor of waiting for Ning An to emerge from seclusion.

Because a wedding with Ning An present versus one without him are two different concepts.

One represents being valued, the other represents being disregarded!

The difference between the two is quite significant.

If it were disregarded, it would inevitably be looked down upon.

As the primary wife and matriarch, Wen Zhiqiao naturally did not want her son to be treated lightly.

Of course, if Ning An hadn't emerged from seclusion in time...

...then there would have been no other choice!

Compared to inheritance, it was still more important.

And who knows, perhaps a grandchild might have even better aptitude than the son.

For Wen Zhiqiao, she hoped her son could bring more glory to her lineage.

Even if there was no competition now, one must plan ahead!
