Chapter 101: Unfilial Son

The Ning family cultivators filed in, expressionless, and poured into Unlike Ning Zhuo's small courtyard one after another.

They distributed themselves left and right, vaguely surrounding Unlike Ning Zhuo in the center.

There were also a few people scattered around the residence, vigilantly patrolling everywhere.

Ning Ze and Ning Fan stood in front of Unlike Ning Zhuo.

Ning Ze explained the purpose of their visit concisely.

Unlike Ning Zhuo raised his eyebrows, "I do have a large sum of spirit stones, but this is my business, and it has nothing to do with the family, right?"

"Just for this matter, Uncle, you have to come and ask personally?"

The youth's young and tender face was full of incomprehension and disbelief.

Ning Fan remained silent.

Ning Ze shook his head slightly, his expression serious, "Little Zhuo, you are still young, and it's not your fault that you don't understand these principles. You just need to tell the truth and tell us the source of this huge sum of money."

But Unlike Ning Zhuo shook his head, looking troubled, "Sorry, Uncle, I can't say anything about this."

Ning Ze and Ning Fan were surprised for a moment.

Ning Ze lowered his voice, his expression becoming even more serious, "Why can't you say it? At this critical juncture, you still won't say it?!"

Unlike Ning Zhuo shrugged and spread his hands, while also showing a stubbornness in his youthful nature, "What does it matter? This is my money, I should spend it however I want."

Ning Ze became anxious, "You don't understand your current situation, Little Zhuo!"

"Do you think you are still the same as before?"

"You are not!"

"You are now the object of the family's heavy cultivation, the number two figure in the re-cultivation team, do you know that?"

"Now someone has reported you, saying that you are extravagant and possess a huge sum of money of unknown origin."

"Just at the critical juncture when the family wants to cultivate you and support you vigorously, you have this incident! Tell me, shouldn't you explain it clearly?"

"Little Zhuo, you think the world is too simple."

"Before, you were unknown and plain, no one paid attention to you, it didn't matter. But now you are at the peak of the third layer, everyone is watching you, and any small flaw in you will be magnified, grabbed by those with ulterior motives, and criticized with all their might to bring you down!"

"Now that you have such huge suspicious points, those people will spread rumors about you, saying that you have received secret funding from other families and have been turned into a spy to infiltrate our family. Tell me, shouldn't the family conduct a detailed investigation to feel at ease?"

Ning Ze said a long paragraph, earnest and well-meaning.

Unlike Ning Zhuo fell silent, and after a long time, he said, "Uncle, there are indeed many hidden secrets in this. But I can guarantee you that I haven't done anything harmful. This money was obtained legitimately, and I have a clear conscience!"

Ning Ze glared, wishing he could pull Unlike Ning Zhuo's ears, "No, did I just say all that for nothing?"

"Did you listen carefully?"

"You have a clear conscience, but who can prove it? Who will believe it?"

"Fine, since you haven't done anything harmful, just say it directly. Now, you need to prove yourself to the family!"

Unlike Ning Zhuo remained silent.

"Did you listen to me at all?" Ning Ze's tone rose, his brows furrowed in anxiety, his face showing a hint of anger.

Unlike Ning Zhuo sighed and finally revealed some truth, "Uncle, you are my closest relative, you have to believe me, I really didn't do anything bad."

"But I really can't reveal this matter."

"I signed a contract with someone else, I can't say it, if I say it, I will suffer the backlash of the contract."

Ning Ze was stunned, and then his brows furrowed even tighter, "What kind of matter would make you sign such a contract with others?"

"Oh my, you child, you're really worrying me to death!"

Ning Ze pointed at Unlike Ning Zhuo, his fingers trembling with anxiety.

Unlike Ning Zhuo just lowered his head and remained silent.

Ning Ze looked at him, then at Ning Fan beside him, squeezed a smile on his face, and whispered to the latter, "Brother Ning Fan, can you accommodate us and let me talk to my nephew alone?"

Ning Fan revealed a troubled look, "You know, I was sent here to supervise..."

Ning Ze couldn't care less at this moment, hurriedly transmitting sound, promising some benefits.

Ning Fan struggled for a moment, then nodded, "You two uncle and nephew have a bright future, I don't want to offend you either, so I'll give you half a cup of tea's time."

Ning Ze led Unlike Ning Zhuo into the room.

"Speak, what's so hard to say, say it now."

"There's only the two of us here." Ning Ze's face was as heavy as water.

Unlike Ning Zhuo: "Uncle, what I just said is the truth. I'm not deceiving you. I did sign a contract with someone else and cannot reveal a single word."

Ning Ze glared in anger, pointing his finger at Unlike Ning Zhuo's forehead, gritting his teeth, "Unlike Ning Zhuo, do you know the severity of this matter!"

"The family values you now, values you very much, so they specifically sent an investigation team."

"To worry about any misunderstandings you might have, they specifically sent me to talk to you."

"Now is the best time for you to confess; if you miss it, you will ruin a big matter!"

Ning Ze took a deep breath, "Fine, even if you are bound by a contract, it doesn't matter."

"Know that there is a lock in the world, there is a key."

"Tell me what kind of contract it is, and if we move the family's power, it's not impossible to clear the contract."

Unlike Ning Zhuo shook his head, "Uncle, in my opinion, it's best not to touch this matter."

"Sigh, if you really want me to say it, I can only tell you that this matter involves a Golden Core cultivator!"

"What?" Ning Ze was shocked, unable to help but take a step back, "You, you're not lying to me?"

The Ning family's highest combat power was the Ning family ancestor, a Golden Core cultivator.

Unlike Ning Zhuo sighed, "How could I lie to you, Uncle."

"So, I think, this matter shouldn't be investigated, let's just leave it at that."

"If the family doesn't trust me, then I will withdraw from the re-cultivation team and not participate in the exploration of the Lava Immortal Palace."

Ning Ze heard this and stomped his feet in anger, "Little Zhuo, how can you say such nonsense?"

"I spent money to get you into the re-cultivation team."

"Do you think you can withdraw just because you want to?"

"Even if you withdraw, the family will definitely investigate your affairs clearly."

"You, you, how did you end up like this?"

"Ending up like this!!"

"Speak, who is that Golden Core? Don't, don't tell me it's that shadow demon cultivator?"

Speaking of this, Ning Ze's pupils shrank, a burst of horror, unable to help but take a step back.

The next moment, he transmitted sound to Unlike Ning Zhuo, asking sternly, "Quick, tell me quickly, does it have anything to do with the shadow demon cultivator?"

Unlike Ning Zhuo frowned, "Uncle, don't force me, I can't say it."

"How did you end up signing such a contract? Oh my, oh my. My, my family... the clan will be implicated by you." Ning Ze patted his thighs in anxiety.

Unlike Ning Zhuo sighed, "Uncle, I was forced to do it."

Hearing this, Ning Ze was even more inclined to the answer of the shadow demon cultivator.

He paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, suddenly stopped, and stared closely at Unlike Ning Zhuo, "Little Zhuo, this matter is very serious, it's not something you can hide from just because you want to."

"Today, we must get to the bottom of it."

"Don't blame your Uncle, it's really because you did something wrong!"

Unlike Ning Zhuo was stunned, hurriedly said, "Uncle, things are not as serious as you think..."

Ning Ze shook his head, eager to distance himself from Unlike Ning Zhuo and prove himself. He walked quickly to the outside of the house and said to Ning Fan, "My nephew did sign a contract. What should we do next?"

"Does the family have any means to break the contract? The key is that this matter involves a Golden Core cultivator."

Ning Fan was astonished.

After being stunned for a moment, his face sank, "The matter is very significant, but as long as the contract was not set by the Golden Core cultivator himself, we can proceed to break it."

"But are you sure?"

"Unlike Ning Zhuo cannot reveal the information about the contract now, we have to keep trying. In this process, it might cause unavoidable harm to Unlike Ning Zhuo."

Ning Ze struggled for a moment, then nodded fiercely, "Our investigation this time is entrusted by the superiors and is watched by the whole clan. If we don't do this, how can we explain it? Do it!"

Ning Fan's eyes flickered, "You are Unlike Ning Zhuo's uncle and the chief officer of this investigation team, you have the final say."

"However, it's best if Unlike Ning Zhuo cooperates voluntarily, so the effect will be best."

Ning Fan had just finished speaking when Unlike Ning Zhuo said, "I don't want to!"

Ning Ze turned his head and glared, "Unfilial son, this is not up to you."

Ning Ze scanned left and right, and shouted in a low voice, "Still not doing it?"

Ning Fan sighed and waved his hand secretly.

Two burly men walked out of the investigation team, grabbed Unlike Ning Zhuo from left and right, released their magic power, and easily suppressed him.

Ning Fan took out a magic tool and handed it to Ning Ze, "This is the Father-Son Thought-Capturing Bracelet; you wear the father bracelet, and put the son bracelet on Unlike Ning Zhuo's wrist, and you can capture his thoughts."

"As the saying goes, no one knows a son better than his father."

"Although Unlike Ning Zhuo is bound by the contract and cannot reveal the truth, it does not forbid his thoughts."

"As long as we forcibly capture the relevant thoughts in his divine sea, we can obtain the information."

"It's just that this act might trigger the backlash of the contract. Our investigation team will try our best to suppress it."

"On the other hand, forcibly capturing thoughts itself will also cause damage to the divine sea. To avoid this, it's best if Little Friend Unlike Ning Zhuo cooperates voluntarily."

Unlike Ning Zhuo was suppressed and could only struggle in his seat, "I don't want to, I don't want to at all!"

Ning Ze snorted coldly and put the father-son bracelets on himself and Unlike Ning Zhuo respectively, "Little Zhuo, you are stubborn, I am your elder, the closest person to you in this world, how can I let you make mistake after mistake!"

"Cooperate with me obediently, and you can suffer a little less pain."

Unlike Ning Zhuo didn't want to.

Ning Ze's face was like ice, and he directly activated the father-son bracelet.

A pair of bracelets emitted blue and white radiance from the wrists of the two.

A strong suction force reached into Unlike Ning Zhuo's divine sea. Just as it was about to wreak havoc, it hit the Buddha Heart Demon Seal.

The suction force was like a gale, the treasure seal was like a mountain, standing still, a perfect defense.

Unlike Ning Zhuo's eyes rolled back, he kept twitching in his seat, and two streams of blood flowed out of his nasal cavity.

Ning Ze's face was as heavy as water, acting arbitrarily.

Unlike Ning Zhuo's long-prepared thoughts were actively handed over, just about to be captured by Ning Ze.

Bang.

With a loud noise, the door of the house was pushed open.

Young Family Head Ning Xiaoren saw this scene in the hall, and suddenly his eyes were about to split, roaring angrily, "Stop!" ===== CHAPTER 102 =====
