Ning Zhuo came to the courtyard and saw Zhu Xuanji.
Zhu Xuanji was still wearing a bright red brocade robe, trimmed with black embroidery, and his face was expressionless. He looked at Ning Zhuo, looking up and down, his sharp eyes seemed to be able to penetrate the heart.
Ning Zhuo was already prepared for Zhu Xuanji's uninvited visit.
To be more precise, this is his design!
Ning Zhuo took the initiative to expose many things during the palace examination.
For example, at the beginning of the battle with Sun Lingtong, he used multiple floating mobile phone traps to severely damage the golden-blooded battle ape Dasheng, so that later Sun Lingtong could no longer take out Yuan Dasheng, causing his own record to plummet.
In this battle, Ning Zhuo showed his familiarity with the Golden Blood Battle Monkey Dasheng. Anyone who was interested realized that Ning Zhuo knew a lot of inside information.
After that, Ning Zhuo used the Five Elements Spiritual Tray again in public, and did not show the "unfamiliar to familiar" inspection process, revealing that he was already familiar with the components of this mechanism.
In the recent palace examination, he directly used the blood path board, showing a deeper level of the demon-stained blood muscle skill!
These advantages were all used by him in the palace examination, which helped him achieve a good record.
These were also baits deliberately thrown out by Ning Zhuo. Many monks and forces took the bait. They contacted Ning Zhuo privately and offered high prices to buy them.
But they were all rejected by Ning Zhuo.
The bait he placed was mainly to catch Zhu Xuanji!
When Ning Zhuo settled the bet between him and Ning Jiufan, Zhu Xuanzhi finally came to him.
Facing Zhu Shenqi again, the pressure on Ning Zhuo's heart was far less than that at the Salesian Kindergarten.
At this time, he had already confessed his crime and eliminated several flaws. More importantly, he had raised his righteous identity to a new level through various operations, trickery and other means.
The branch head of the Ning family!
This is a proper high-level member of a cultivating family.
Under normal circumstances, it is simply unimaginable to become the head of a branch family during the Qi Refining Period.
But Ning Zhuo seized the opportunity given by fate and constantly used the Lava Immortal Palace and the palace examination to increase his own valuation, which really made this happen.
In the past, Ning Zhuo had at most two levels of identity. One was a young genius from the Ning family, and the other was the master of the black market. When he was in the Salesian Kindergarten, it was quite easy for Zhu Xuanji to deal with him.
But now, Ning Zhuo has a third-level identity - the patriarch of the branch of the Ning family.
This forced Zhu Xuanji to be more cautious.
If it were a demonic or evil cultivator, they would not value these things. But Zhu Xuanzhi is a righteous cultivator and a member of the royal family. He respects excellent rules from the bottom of his heart. Especially now, he has to rely on the Zhou family, the Ning family, and the Zheng family.
The three families formed an alliance to compete with the Meng family and Bu Kongmen to help them fight for the position of the master of the Lava Immortal Palace.
Ning Zhuo knew that although his cultivation had not changed, his status had risen a lot, and his attitude towards Zhu Xuanji could also change.
He cupped his fists and saluted, first said hello respectfully, and then tactfully expressed that his time was limited and he hoped to keep the conversation short with Mr. Zhu.
Zhu Xuanji laughed and pointed at Ning Zhuo: "I just became the head of the branch family, and I'm already shaking."
"The villain succeeds because you look like this now."
Ning Zhuo also smiled: "Master Zhu, I have worked hard and tried my best to achieve this. If I don't show off, wouldn't I be sorry for my previous efforts?"
This frank look made Ning Zhuo appear sincere and not hypocritical.
Zhu Xuanji had a good impression of Ning Zhuo.
On the one hand, he has a sense of accomplishment. He believes that he helped Ning Zhuo and guided the young genius on the right path.
On the other hand, Ning Zhuo severely damaged the Golden Blood Warring Monkey Dasheng in the palace examination, causing Sun Lingtong's record to plummet. This was a true meritorious service.
Finally, in the palace examination, whenever Ning Zhuo encountered Zhu Xuanji, Ning surrendered and surrendered. This attitude was very much in line with Zhu Xuanji's wishes.
That's why - Zhu Xuanji had discovered a long time ago that Ning Zhuo had concealed a lot of information. When he confessed to the crime before, he did not reveal the whole truth. But he still waited until now to ask questions.
Zhu Xuanzhi stared into Ning Zhuo's eyes: "Speaking of which, I haven't thanked you yet. Thank you for giving up the second round of the imperial examination."
Ning Zhuo hurriedly waved his hands and said: "Sir, you are trying to offend me too much. I don't dare to be a kid!"
"My Five Elements pawn is not as powerful and effective as your machine puppet."
"Why do you need me to give in? I'm going to lose anyway, so taking the initiative to admit defeat can save time and energy."
Zhu Xuanzhi put his hands behind his back: "Ning Zhuo, tell me the truth, does your Ning family want this fairy palace?"
"Let me tell you the truth first. If your Ning family has this intention, I can help you and give in and let you control this important treasure!"
"Among the three major families in Fire Persimmon City, the Zhou family and the Zheng family are deeply rooted, while your Ning family comes from the Beifeng Kingdom and has an unstable foundation. It is our Nandou royal family's best ally to join forces and centrally compete with the local area."
Ning Zhuo didn't hesitate at all, and immediately said with a wry smile: "Master Zhu, you are honest and honest, and I have spoken from the bottom of my heart. It's not like I haven't thought about it personally."
"However, the Lava Fairy Palace is too damaged. As far as it is in ruins, the cost of repairing it will be horribly high."
"Our Ning family's background is hard to afford."
"What's even more frightening is that the palace exams are still going on, and the tide of monsters and monsters is getting worse. The Immortal Palace will definitely be more ruined."
"Whoever gets it will pay a huge price to repair it!"
"For my Ning family, I believe that helping you achieve the final victory, and making good friends and establishing contact with the royal family is the most beneficial and stable direction of development."
Zhu Xuanji nodded and stopped talking.
Ning Zhuo let out a breath of thick air.
He knew in his heart that Zhu Xuanji did not really want to transfer the position of palace master. Even if it was true, Zhu Xuanji was not qualified to transfer. There would be a third round after the second round of palace examinations.
Ning Zhuo would be really stupid to show interest in the position of palace master.
Zhu Xuanji said this deliberately, just to remind Ning Zhuo not to have desires that are inconsistent with his status just because he is the head of a branch family.
He is also reminding Ning to surrender and not to expect things that he should not get.
This is just like what Ning Zhuo said to Ning Zhuo in the room before he surrendered: "You can say something or not say it. Remember, you are already the branch head of my Ning family."
This sentence was said to Ning Zhuo, and also to Zhu Xuanji, the golden elixir monk in the courtyard.
Many high-level exchanges are just that, gentle and reserved.
Zhu Xuanji was satisfied with Ning Zhuo's attitude, and finally got to the point: "You should know my intention of coming to find you this time."
Ning Zhuo sighed deeply and saluted Zhu Xuanji again. With his current confidence, he was able to speak out to a certain extent: "Master Zhu, I did hide something before. There are indeed many things to say, it is difficult to say
Gotta get out."
"This junior has already anticipated today's situation, thought hard, and prepared something."
"This is the limit of what I can do."
With that said, Ning Zhuo took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Zhu Xuanji.
Zhu Xuanji took it, unfolded the paper on the spot, and saw a poem on it——
A single shadow among the white clouds,
The clouds are floating in the distance and the moon is boundless.
We formed a hundred-year alliance with the moon,
What you plan for is done by man and God.
He frowned slightly, then relaxed, looked at Ning Zhuo, and nodded lightly to him.
Regardless of whether Ning Zhuo really still had a contract with Bu Kongmen, which he couldn't say more about, or whether Ning Zhuo chose to continue to retain part of the information for his own benefit, Zhu Xuanzhi chose to approve it.
Immediately, he raised his fingers slightly and spit out his magic power, urging out flames.
The paper was thrown into the air, ignited, and quickly turned into ashes.
Zhu Xuanji turned and left.
Recently, Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit has paid more attention to Zhu Xuanji.
When Zhu Xuanji arrived at Ning Zhuo's residence, he immediately attracted its attention.
The entire exchange between Ning Zhuo and Zhu Xuanji was watched by the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit.
Naturally, it also observed the poem on the paper.
It wondered: "What does this mean?"
The dragon turtle fire spirit became restless, and after thinking about it, it took the initiative to contact Ning Zhuo.
"Master, Master, are you okay?" It pretended to be concerned at first, and then began to ask about the paper and the purpose of the poem.
"Don't worry, I just used some tricks to get rid of him again."
Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit continued to ask about the meaning of the poem.
Ning Zhuo: "Haha, you can't say it, you can't say it."
He immediately changed the subject: "Don't you want to bombard the Calabash Furnace Forest and directly destroy the ruins of the Golden Furnace? I have made up my mind to do this! It will be launched in the near future. You must always be prepared and listen.
I summon."
The Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit was overjoyed. It had been worrying about how to subdue Ning Zhuogan's cannon in recent days.
Unexpectedly, Ning Zhuo could not bear the pressure at first and agreed.
Ning Zhuo dismissed Zhu Xuanji, dealt with the dragon turtle fire spirit, and then began to summon his subordinates.
Soon, Ning Xiangguo, Ning Xiangqiang, Ning Chen, Ning Yong and others gathered together.
Ning Zhuo showed everyone the Ning family plaque and sacrificial tablet he had obtained.
Everyone was overjoyed.
"It's done, the separation of the families is finally done!"
"Boss, you are amazing."
"Clan leader, we can set up another branch."
The atmosphere in the hall was warm.
Ning Zhuo smiled and gave everyone enough time to express his joy.
When everyone stopped shouting in excitement, he said to one person in the hall: "Leader of the Turtle Shell Gang, have you completed all the information I asked you to collect?"
Turtle Shell is the leader of the Turtle Breath Gang and is good at gathering information.
This time Ning Zhuo specially sent him to work in the palace.
Guike immediately said: "The past words and deeds of the Ning family members during this period of time have been collected. Although there are inevitably some omissions, I have recorded all those who believe in rumors, or even secretly advocate and belittle you, young master.
Already."
The atmosphere in the hall suddenly fell silent.
Ning Zhuo took a sip of tea, slowly put down the cup, and then said: "Very good, very good."
He looked at everyone in the hall: "My uncle lost his son, so it is understandable that he would do such a thing. He wanted to use it in everyone's mouth to avenge his son's murder."
"But there are many people from the inspired branch tribes who followed him who have ulterior motives."
"Even if they are just stupid, that is enough to prove that they are not the ones we need to recruit."
"What do you think?"
Everyone dared not speak.
Ning Zhuo, with a slight smile on his face, exerted strong psychological pressure on them.
After just a few breaths, Ning Chen's back became a little wet.
Ning Zhuo took advantage of the situation and said: "You must keep the secret that I can separate the family and establish another one. I need to investigate carefully to see who there is who doesn't care about me and is not of the same mind as us."
Everyone hurriedly asked to understand.
Although they originally had strong intentions and could not wait to create a separate family later, the reasons given by Ning Zhuo were very legitimate and reasonable, and no one could refute them.
"I have something I want you to do." Ning Zhuo took out a crystal.
This is the top quality spiritual crystal given to him by Zhu Xuanji, and all the ice spiritual power in it has been used up.
Ning Zhuo ordered his subordinates to set up a magic circle, contribute their own magic power, purify it into ice spiritual power, and instill it into the spiritual crystal.
Everyone accepted the order and left happily.
The prospect of dividing the family made them excited just thinking about it. Without Ning Zhuo's encouragement, they wanted to perform actively and better complete every task assigned by Ning Zhuo in exchange for their higher status in the divided family.
status.
Ning Zhuo left the leader of the Turtle Shell Gang at the end and told him alone to send someone to pay close attention to Zhu Xuanji's actions.
This task of monitoring the Jindan monks made Guike feel quite stressed, but he had no choice but to comply.
It wasn't until Ning Zhuo was alone that he sighed quietly.
The reason why he fought for the separation of the family was just to eliminate the flaws.
This time, I used the excuse of inspection to postpone the establishment of the branch family because I didn't want to involve Ning Chen, Ning Yong and the others.
Even with Ning Xiangguo, the traitor, Ning Zhuo had developed some feelings after using him for a long time.
Ning Zhuo didn't know whether he would succeed in the future. He needed to keep a distance from everyone at this time to prevent things from going wrong in the future and he would become a wanted criminal and implicate these people.
