Chapter 239: For the Big Picture

"Su Mo?"

"Visiting so late, just to take the initiative to discuss with me?"

"Must be an assassin!"

"Don't see him!!"

Unlike Ning Zhuo got the report from the Foundation Establishment guard and immediately shook his head: "Drive him away."

Unlike Ning Zhuo's attitude was very straightforward and very firm.

The Foundation Establishment guard showed hesitation: "Young Master Unlike Ning Zhuo, if you do this, I'm afraid..."

"Afraid of what?"

The Foundation Establishment guard continued: "I'm afraid it will hinder your reputation."

"This Su Mo claims to be a bottom-level cultivator; if you don't respond to such a challenger, if it spreads out, what will the outside world think of you, Young Master?"

Unlike Ning Zhuo sneered: "What you said, how could I not know?"

"The other party is probably hearing the rumors and deliberately came to spy on me."

"There must be others behind him!"

"If it's not good, this is not spying, but assassination."

"Reputation is important, but my little life is more important."

"I climbed up from the bottom; you see, others dislike the black market business for being dirty, but I don't! I am very pragmatic."

Speaking of this, Unlike Ning Zhuo said again: "However, what you reminded me is not unreasonable."

"Like this, you invite Su Mo to the courtyard and treat him with good wine and food."

"You tell him like this, just say that the wind is tight recently, the situation is strange, and someone is slandering me. I have recorded this challenge and discussion, and will continue to compete when I have time."

"During this period of time, I will live in seclusion and will not act easily. The signs are not right, the signs are not right."

"It is very likely that someone will come to assassinate me!"

"Am I a fool?"

"Hehehe, I won't easily give assassins a chance."

"Hmm..."

"Tomorrow, I will move back to the clan land to live."

Unlike Ning Zhuo let out a trace of cold sneer.

"Subordinate understands, I will do it now." The Foundation Establishment guard retreated.

¤￠o

Unlike Ning Zhuo explained, persuading him.

However, these words of Unlike Ning Zhuo were mainly not for him to hear, but for someone else.

Zhu Xuanji and Ning Jiufan heard Unlike Ning Zhuo's plan and arrangement, both frowning slightly.

They wanted Unlike Ning Zhuo to act as bait to induce the City Lord's Mansion to assassinate, so that they would make a mistake. But Unlike Ning Zhuo himself also realized that the situation was not right and already wanted to retreat.

"This won't do!" Zhu Xuanji thought.

Ning Jiufan frowned: "Moving into the clan land to live, won't he be assassinated? Naive!"

He didn't want to see Unlike Ning Zhuo act like this.

Although moving into the clan land was indeed safer for Unlike Ning Zhuo than here. But if the City Lord's Mansion really wanted to assassinate, a mere clan land could not stop the assassin.

Unlike Ning Zhuo moving to the clan land would instead increase casualties. After the assassination happened, other clan members of the Ning family would likely suffer as well.

Zhu Xuanji simply transmitted his voice to Ning Jiufan: "Brother Ning, please arrange it. Unlike Ning Zhuo is a disciple of your Ning family."

Zhu Xuanji was not very convenient to come forward for this kind of thing.

It was most appropriate for Ning Jiufan to come and persuade.

Thus, Ning Jiufan transmitted his voice to Unlike Ning Zhuo.

"Ancestor, Ancestor!" Unlike Ning Zhuo heard this and was overjoyed, calling out hurriedly, "Ancestor, you have come to save me! I will never forget your life-saving kindness."

Ning Jiufan told Unlike Ning Zhuo not to be afraid, that he had already arrived nearby and was lurking to protect Unlike Ning Zhuo. And he let Unlike Ning Zhuo fight bravely!

"Even if this Su Mo is an assassin, the old man will guarantee your life safety." Ning Jiufan said so.

But Unlike Ning Zhuo shrank his head: "Ancestor, I, I don't want to."

He touched his big head and suddenly revealed a look of realization.

"Wait, could it be..."

"Ancestor, could it be that you spread the rumors, saying I got the Demonic Path True Scripture?"

"You secretly protect me and let me fight, isn't this obviously using me as bait?"

"Who are you trying to deal with?"

Ning Jiufan coughed: "You don't need to ask about who."

If he really told Unlike Ning Zhuo that they were dealing with the City Lord's Mansion this time, wouldn't he be afraid that Unlike Ning Zhuo would be scared paralyzed?

So, Ning Jiufan did not respond directly but brushed it off.

Unlike Ning Zhuo was of course not stupid.

"I won't do it, I won't do it!!"

"This job is too dangerous; if I'm not careful, my little life will be gone, Ancestor."

"My little arms and legs can't bear it, Ancestor."

Seeing Unlike Ning Zhuo so uncooperative, Ning Jiufan couldn't help but sneer coldly.

But this cold sneer didn't scare Unlike Ning Zhuo; instead, it stimulated his "rebellion."

"Ancestor, you can't do this, Ancestor!"

"Although I am a branch, I am also a human, and I also have the surname Ning."

"You can't treat me differently, Ancestor."

"If you do this, it's too chilling, Ancestor."

Ning Jiufan was told this and suddenly felt that he had suddenly become a biased family head, very muddled.

Ning Jiufan said coldly: "Stop shouting, kid. I tell you, even if the main branch patriarch stood in your current position, he would have to do this."

"This is the big picture."

"You stand in this position, the situation is urging you. You have to take care of the big picture, child."

Unlike Ning Zhuo stiffened his neck: "No, I won't do it!"

"Ancestor, don't force me anymore."

"Where is there an ancestor forcing a junior to die?"

"If you force me again, I will kneel to the ancestral hall, and I will hug the tablets of your father and grandfather and cry!"

"I will go to complain! I will move to the ancestral hall to live, eating, drinking, and defecating there."

Ning Jiufan:?!

For a time, he was stunned.

To tell the truth, he had never seen such a family junior!

This was too disrespectful.

He was about to teach Unlike Ning Zhuo a lesson, but was stopped by Zhu Xuanji.

Zhu Xuanji said: "At present, we still need this child to cooperate with us."

"The big picture is the priority; stabilizing him is the best strategy."

Ning Jiufan frowned immediately.

Zhu Xuanji said again: "Unlike Ning Zhuo is a junior of your family, don't you know him?"

"I will remind you a little."

"He is from a branch, treated harshly since childhood. Although he went to school and received cultivation, his mechanical arts have been accumulating without showing his head. This means he was not valued much in the school."

"It was the time when the Lava Xian Gong appeared that his mechanical art attainment reached the level of thick accumulation and thin hair."

"It was also recently that he discovered he had talent."

"Such a teenager, unloved by his uncle and grandmother, grew up wildly for sixteen years, so don't expect him to be filial to the elders and high-level of the Ning family from the bottom of his heart."

"Don't forget, he just pulled your family's young patriarch off his horse not long ago. Until now, your former young patriarch is still locked in the family private prison, right?"

Ning Jiufan's brows wrinkled even tighter: "Then according to your meaning, Lord Zhu..."

Zhu Xuanji just smiled and didn't answer.

Ning Jiufan felt unhappy!

What?

He, a dignified Golden Core of the Ning family, an ancestor of the Ning family, still has to accommodate a junior of the family?

It's simply turning the world upside down!

But Zhu Xuanji was not wrong; everything must take care of the big picture.

What is the current big picture?

That is to induce the City Lord's Mansion to make a mistake and send someone to assassinate Unlike Ning Zhuo.

Only by seizing the handle of the City Lord's Mansion can we take the opportunity to prove and expose the City Lord's Mansion's great crime of sending black-shadow demonic cultivators to blow up the Xian Gong and raise bandits to respect themselves!

Once the great crime is confirmed, the South Bean royal family can take action openly and overturn the entire situation of Fire Persimmon Immortal City.

By then, Zhu Xuanji doesn't have to do anything, just be sent directly to become the Master of the Xian Gong.

Ning Jiufan couldn't help but fall into silence.

At present, once Unlike Ning Zhuo drops the stall and doesn't continue to disguise, it is easy for Fei Si to discover the flaws and be alert, so how can there be an assassination?

So, Zhu Xuanji was right; he must stabilize Unlike Ning Zhuo and persuade Unlike Ning Zhuo to cooperate with them.

Of course, the Golden Core ancestors were not without means, such as some spells, which could control Unlike Ning Zhuo, just like controlling a puppet.

But this approach was not good.

On one hand, they were righteous, and they wanted backbone. A dignified senior, six people in total, bullying a junior at the Qi Condensation stage, this didn't make sense.

Especially since Ning Jiufan was the Ning family ancestor, he should have protected the young clan members, but instead, he colluded with five other Golden Cores to bully and control his own junior; this was too low-class.

On the other hand, Unlike Ning Zhuo needed to maintain a normal state. Only if he was willing to cooperate could he deceive Fei Si to the greatest extent.

The means of forced control that the ancestors could use would easily leave clues or difficult-to-conceal anomalies, allowing Fei Si to discover them easily.

"Ancestor, Ancestor, are you there? Are you still there?" Unlike Ning Zhuo saw Ning Jiufan not responding to him for a long time and hurriedly called out in a low voice.

"I am here." Ning Jiufan was laughed at by him, "You brat, simply asking for a beating."

"I tell you clearly here, you can't escape, stay here for the old man, waiting for the assassination."

"With me here, you won't die!"

"The emperor doesn't send hungry soldiers; what do you want, say it. Let the old man see if he can reward you. I won't let you take risks in vain."

Unlike Ning Zhuo smiled bitterly and sat on the seat.

His face was very ugly: "Can't I really run? Ancestor."

Ning Jiufan's tone was deep: "No."

"Alright. Hurry up and make your request." Ning Jiufan became impatient; he was a dignified Golden Core, and Unlike Ning Zhuo was only a small Qi Condensation; such an attitude was already extremely rare.

"Good." Unlike Ning Zhuo gritted his teeth, "Ancestor, I want to inherit the entire family; I want to be the patriarch!"

Ning Jiufan:...

"Ancestor? Ancestor?" Unlike Ning Zhuo called out again.

Ning Jiufan was laughed at by him for the second time: "You are only at the Qi Condensation stage, and your ambition is so big that you actually want to covet the position of patriarch?"

Unlike Ning Zhuo hurriedly said: "Ancestor, being a patriarch is so majestic; I just want it."

"Especially now, in our Ning family, that group of people in the main branch looks at our branch unpleasantly all day long, trying every means to suppress us from all aspects."

"Our branch's days are very bitter."

"Otherwise, I wouldn't have brought a group of people to the black market to make a living, Ancestor."

Ning Jiufan heard this and fell into silence again.

He was not unaware of the situation of the Ning family; he was also informed and knew that Unlike Ning Zhuo was not wrong.

But it was very difficult for Ning Jiufan to take action against the main branch.

The main branch was also the bloodline of the Ning family and the direct descendants of another Ning family ancestor. Ning Jiufan had promised his friend that he would take care of his descendants. ===== CHAPTER 240 =====
