Ning Zhuo licked his lips, his breathing became slightly rapid, and he raised his eyes to look at Zhu Xuanji, with a hint of stubbornness in his eyes: "Master Zhu, you are from the Nandou royal family, and I am a branch of the Ning family."
"My mother passed away when I was very young. My father passed away even earlier. I have never seen him."
"Even though I have an uncle, I am not close to him and I don't get much care from him."
"Ever since I was a child, my life has been difficult."
"You claim to be a watchful eye on the people, but you are just a spectator. You have not experienced it personally, and you don't know that many times, what I consider is not the right path or the wrong path, but where I can get my next meal."
"People at the bottom can only focus on the immediate future."
"Many times, it's not a matter of their choice, but that they don't have a choice!"
"Right way or wrong way? Haha, in their eyes, there may be only one way from beginning to end. That is the way to survive!"
Ning Zhuo did not respond directly, but it was equivalent to answering Zhu Xuanji's words.
He lacked key information, so it was impossible to ask how Zhu Xuanji suspected him.
This is tantamount to asking for help!
He did not test or remain silent, as this might arouse Zhu Xuanji's disgust and anger.
Ning Zhuo chose to defend passively and take advantage of every opportunity.
He deliberately talked about his suffering because he wanted to take advantage of Zhu Xuanzhi's temperament.
During the Fire Persimmon Festival, Zhu Xuanji's appearance caught Ning Zhuo off guard, forcing him to intervene with his own body and take a risk, which resulted in Yuan Dasheng's death.
Afterwards, Ning Zhuo reflected on himself and found that he had made a big mistake - he had too little information about Zhu Xuanzhi.
From then on, he devoted all his efforts to collecting relevant information.
Every time you take a step, you gain wisdom.
He will not make the same mistake again. Because if he makes it again, it may be the difference between life and death.
There is a saying that goes very well - the person who knows you best is often your enemy!
Zhu Xuanji had no expression on his face, but he sighed deeply in his heart.
He was impressed!
There are only wrong names, not wrong titles.
He claims to be careful and peaceful for the people, because he has deep compassion for the underprivileged and the weak.
Ning Zhuo's words touched the soft spot in his heart.
Of course, he could hear that Ning Zhuo, in addition to suffering and being forced to do so, also wanted to excuse himself, test Zhu Xuanzhi, and seek understanding.
Zhu Xuanji felt a little relieved.
At least Ning Zhuo has been telling the truth and trying to seek Zhu Xuanji's understanding instead of blindly denying or refuting.
How to say?
Talking to smart people saves you worry and effort!
And Ning Zhuo's understanding of current affairs made Zhu Xuanji believe that the young man in front of him could be saved and could be won over.
Zhu Xuanji sighed softly: "The roads are all made by people!"
"Some roads are easy, but they are wrong. Some roads are difficult, but they are the right way."
"Just like Li Leifeng, he lived a difficult and miserable life for the rest of his life, but it is precisely because of this that he is so respected."
"Actually, everyone has a scale that measures others and things at all times. Those who bear the burden and keep warm for everyone are the ones who radiate light."
"You have also been illuminated by this light! Li Leifeng has already pointed out the way for you."
Ning Zhuo was silent.
The strategy of showing weakness and empathizing works.
From Zhu Xuanji's tone, expression and words, he did not hear any disgust or disgust.
But the problem still exists.
Ning Zhuo didn't know what clues Zhu Xuanji had grasped that made him so suspicious of him and win over him.
This point is very critical. Without knowing this, Ning Zhuo could almost only passively defend in this attack.
Unable to take the initiative!
"It is definitely not an option to continue like this."
"Eventually, I will be forced into a corner by him and there will be no room for me to move."
"Rather than do that, let's take some risks now."
Ning Zhuo had already seen the result of his defeat, gritted his teeth secretly, and decided to take a risk.
He said: "Li Leifeng is a model of righteousness. Whenever I think of him, I feel warm."
"He made me feel that this world is worth it."
"However, how many Li Leifengs are there in this world?"
"How many people can be illuminated by his light?"
"Yes, I have been taken care of. I am lucky, but also unfortunate at the same time."
"It is precisely because you feel the warmth that you understand the pain of cold better."
After a pause, Ning Zhuo looked at Zhu Xuanji, his eyes full of energy.
"Master Zhu, people are different."
"In my opinion, Li Leifeng, like you, is aloof and a figure on the stage. Whether it is true love or fake drama, they are all glamorous."
"And I am in the audience after all."
"Do you know what it feels like to eat the leftover cakes from those guests?"
"You have to bite the bullet and endure the looks of contempt and hatred. You have to reach out and pick through the messy trash on the cups and plates."
"You will feel ashamed. This feeling is what outsiders tell you, and it is also caused deep down in your heart by succumbing to the desires of your mouth and stomach."
"I am at the bottom, I have been since I was a child."
"Although my surname is Ning, I never think that I am noble."
"I'm mean."
"I am a thief!"
"I rummage through the trash for people to eat."
"I'm at the bottom. Haha, maybe it's a bit pretentious to say this."
"But I really think so!"
"You see, even when I grow up, I am still involved in the black market business. I pick up food from places that are not favored by the righteous."
"I'm not afraid of getting dirty, I'm just afraid of not having enough to eat."
Ning Zhuo exhaled a breath of turbid air and smiled sadly.
"I know that there are people like Li Leifeng in the world. I admire him and I am grateful."
"And you, Mr. Zhu."
"I admire you."
"This is true!"
"You are a royal family and a divine hunter, but you have your own principles and always abide by them."
"You are a gentleman and you deserve your reputation."
"However, I know deeply that people are different from each other, starting from birth. People's paths are also different."
"No one can really help me. People are lonely and cannot fully understand others."
"Most of the time, I can only rely on myself."
"The path I take is my own choice!"
Zhu Xuanji fell into silence.
He was heartbroken.
Ning Zhuo's words made his heart tremble.
He knew many things about Ning Zhuo, so he understood him. Although Ning Zhuo bore the identity of the Ning family, he did not benefit much from it during his childhood.
Zhu Xuanji felt sorry!
It was as if he saw a drowning man, shouting and stretching out his hands, wanting to save him.
But the drowning man would rather perish.
As a result, Zhu Xuanji felt powerless, pitiful, indignant and resentful!
A young man like you, with such talent and talent, shouldn't be so willing to fall!
Then, Zhu Xuanji's eyes turned cold and he took the initiative to change the topic: "Ning Zhuo, have you seen the play "Fang Qingyuan"?"
Ning Zhuo: "I've seen it many times."
Zhu Xuanji: "You are right. The empathy between people is often just a matter of watching from afar."
"Often at this time, we need to take action ourselves and experience it as much as possible."
"Li Leifeng has performed "Purge of Wrongs" for you many times. You always stand in the audience and watch. You always think that you are still the little thief who stole food in the audience."
"No more!"
"Today, you are different."
"You are the one standing on the stage. Do you know that Li Leifeng is also looking forward to you standing on the stage?"
"He used to think that starting from the age of six, you would stand out and gradually take the stage."
Ning Zhuo's heart moved slightly.
Zhu Xuanji continued: "Li Leifeng has passed away. It was a regret of his that he did not see you rising to prominence during his lifetime."
"You go make up for this regret."
"Go and perform a play called "Fang Purges the Wrongs".
"Try it, stand in Li Leifeng's shoes, perform a puppet show, and experience the situation and feelings he is in."
Ning Zhuo hesitated: "This..."
Zhu Xuanzhi's eyes were deep: "Don't tell me that you are not good at controlling puppets."
Ning Zhuo shook his head: "Of course not..."
Zhu Xuanji showed his strength and interrupted: "You may not know it well, but he has given you many opportunities."
"Now I am also giving you a chance."
"You should also give yourself a chance."
"Come on stage."
"Although Li Leifeng has passed away, I believe that he still leaves the light for you to guide you on the right path!"
At this point, Ning Zhuo had already guessed that the flaw probably came from Li Leifeng.
But the confrontation between him and Zhu Xuanzhi reached this level, and he was already surrounded by troops. He had no way to refuse and could only accept the order.
After receiving a message from Zhu Xuanji, Zhu Hou immediately made arrangements.
The elder who hosted the event came on stage and informed everyone that although the donation had ended, a young genius was willing to come on stage and perform a puppet show to entertain everyone.
Just like that, Ning Zhuo walked onto the stage.
He saluted the monks in the building below the stage: "Seniors, please allow me to express my sincere thoughts."
"When I was young, my family was poor and my life was difficult. I was pitied by Master Li Leifeng and took care of me many times."
"He never asks for anything in return, but only wants to help others. His thoughtfulness and character are heart-wrenching."
"I have watched the old man's puppet show countless times, and it is extremely wonderful. Now, I am also fortunate to learn the skills. Today I present this puppet show to commemorate Mr. Li Leifeng and to celebrate Mr. Zhu's taking over."
There was a chorus of applause and cheers.
The monks were surprised and pleasantly surprised, and the atmosphere in the building was warm.
Before the Jindan melee, Ning Zhuo's reputation was only spread within a small area among the four major forces. Everyone in the Ning family was familiar with him, after all, he had brought Ning Xiaoren down.
After the Jindan melee, Ning Zhuo became widely known due to rumors and other factors.
This time, Zhu Xuanji brought him to attend the ceremony, which impressed everyone deeply. Almost everyone speculated that Ning Zhuo fell into Zhu Xuanji's eyes and got into his lap.
Because of Zhu Xuanji, Ning Zhuo was taken more seriously.
Now, this righteous rising star has taken the stage in person to perform a puppet show, and everyone is very interested.
No matter how the performance is, many people have already had the idea in mind that they should make additional donations after the show. After all, if you praise Ning Zhuo, you will praise Zhu Xuanzhi!
Righteous people are very aware of current affairs.
