    Rather blame the family home.

    Breakfast had already been served, and Ning Clumsy came to the courtyard.

    Ning Shen, Ning Yong, and the others had already arrived.

    When the fellow students saw Ning Clumsy, they rose and saluted.

    Ning Yong, with dark circles under his eyes, joyfully shouted, “Brother Humble, I haven’t been able to sleep since yesterday! Too excited, hahaha.”

    The others chimed in, letting out a laugh.

    Ning Clumsy arched his hand, thanked him again, and after talking and laughing for a few moments, he said to the person behind him, “Cousin, feel free to find a seat!”

    “Today we are still studying the experience of the insights of cutting spell casting, although you have not practiced the Five Elements Qi Rhythm Technique, it would be beneficial to listen to it more as you are touching on it!”

    Ning Ji’s face was filled with embarrassment as he nodded repeatedly, “Okay, okay, just listen to your arrangement, cousin.”

    His father, Ning Blame, summoned him into his study early in the morning and gave him a serious explanation, telling him to go to Ning Clumsy with his whole heart and soul attached.

    Ning Ji didn’t dare to disobey his father’s orders, so he ‘took the initiative’ to request during breakfast, wanting to follow Ning Clumsy in his endeavors, and didn’t even want to go to the Rune Hall.

    Ning Clumsy did not directly accept his following, but instead allowed him to remain in the Rune Hall.

    He didn’t reject it entirely, but suggested that Ning Ji join him, sparring and exchanging release insights together.

    Ning Clumsy’s statement like this didn’t let Ning Blame get his wish completely, but it didn’t let the latter down completely either.

    Ning Ji merged into the crowd and greeted the others briefly.

    He was originally Ning Clumsy’s classmate, and these fellow students of the reformation team were all considered his acquaintances.

    Ning Ji had wanted to pick the place closest to Ning Clumsy’s speech.

    But at this time, Ning Shen suddenly spoke out, “This is my spot, what are you grabbing for?”

    Ning Ji let out an ah, “Isn’t it a random seat?”

    Ning Shen sneered, “There is certainly something to be said about location, at the very least you have to understand the reasoning behind coming first. You’re the latest to arrive, you should sit at the very back.”

    Ning Ji gave a heave, “You Ning Ji, how dare you be so arrogant, don’t forget, this courtyard is my home, I am the master and you are the guest. How can a guest bully his master?”

    Ning Shen laughed and pointed his finger at Ning Ji, “You think we care about this shabby courtyard of yours? We’re all here because Humble Brother is staying here temporarily, believe it or not, if Humble Brother lives in any of the other courtyards, we’ll be able to follow him closely?”

    Ning Ji couldn’t say anything to Ning Shen, so he looked to Ning Clumsy, “Cousin, look at this.”

    Ning Clumsy smiled faintly, “Today, we are discussing spells as a way to spar and learn from each other, just like a schoolhouse.”

    “There’s no such thing as cousins in the academy, they’re all classmates.”

    “Ning Ji, you then sit at the end, it doesn’t interfere with studying.”

    Ning Ji’s face instantly became a bit untenable, flashing a touch of shame, and gritting his teeth, he said, “Since my father has asked me to follow you, then I will listen to you.”

    Ning Ji sat down at the outermost, most remote part of the crowd.

    The ones leaning closest to Ning Clumsy were still Ning Shen, Ning Yong.

    The heavies who saw this scene were thoughtful.

    “The day before yesterday we exchanged ice hugging techniques, today I would like to talk to you about ice hugging techniques, a strand of qi two spells with matching tips.”

    “If there is anything that is out of place and wrongly spoken, please do not hesitate to enlighten me.”

    Ning Clumsy began the narration.

    Everyone else listened intently and carefully.

    At first, many of them didn’t care, thinking that Ning Clumsy was just lucky,, to have come across a Five Elemental Qi Rhythm Technique that matched his own.

    However, after Ning Clumsy took the initiative to exchange spellcasting experiences, they all changed their views.

    Determining that Ning Clumsy was worthy of having natural talent, he was also absolutely extraordinary in his comprehension of spells.

    Ning Clumsy was self-effacing, saying that it was an exchange and sparring session, but Ning Shen Ning Yong and the others knew in their hearts that this was Ning Clumsy imparting their valuable spellcasting experience.

    Ning Clumsy himself had early wisdom, benefited from his mother’s will, and was educated by Sun Lingzhi.

    He had been hiding his strength in the academy.

    After that, he let his spellcasting experience skyrocket over and over again through the Lava Immortal Palace’s leaderboard rewards, and it was more than enough to guide these fellow students in a completely big way.

    Of all the people in the room, the one who listened the least attentively was Ning Ji.

    Ning Ji was indignant in his heart, feeling that he had been treated unfairly the first time he followed Ning Clumsy.

    “I’m your cousin, and you’re actually helping outsiders. Not helping me.”

    “Speak of what?”

    “It’s not like I’ve ever learned to hold ice, a

    strands of gas.”

    Ning Clumsy sensed Ning Ji’s resentment, and the latter simply didn’t put his heart into communicating or learning sound. Ning Clumsy did not point it out.

    Letting Ning Ji wallow in his emotions.

    It was only when the family messenger arrived that Ning Clumsy broke off the exchange.

    The messenger said, “Ning Clumsy, the former young patriarch Ning Xiaoren has been imprisoned, and this messenger brings you the reward you deserve.”

    “One Tornado Windmill artifact, one bottle of Triple Hole Linglong Heart Pill, three bottles of Qi Condensation Pill, one bottle of Marrow Cleansing Pill, and one bottle of Poison Dispelling Pill.”

    After the messenger recited, he handed the storage bag to Ning Clumsy in public.

    “You take inventory and hand it over quickly!”

    Ning Clumsy then unfolded his storage bag and looked through it, nodding slightly after confirming it, and asked, “There’s no Enlightenment Diagram, and there’s no Ice Jade Wine. Can I ask what’s going on?”

    “Yeah, Brother Humble went straight through to the eighth level. He was still in the reforming team at that time, and according to the rules at that time, he should have been given the opportunity to participate in the Enlightenment Diagram, as well as the Ice Jade Wine.”

    Ning Yong was the first to say.

    Other fellow students also spoke up and offered their help.

    The messenger’s face changed slightly, and he hurriedly waved his hand, “All of you, be at ease, I’m just the first wave.”

    “Since yesterday, the higher echelons of the family have been discussing giving Little Brother Ning Clumsy more compensation.”

    “The reward for these is only a part of it, and it was arranged for me to be the first to send it over as soon as it was previously prepared in the clan treasury.”

    “There are other messengers after me!”

    The crowd listened, which eased their expressions.

    “I see, it was I who misunderstood the messenger.”

    Ning Clumsy smiled, wanting to guide the messenger into the house to rest.

    The messenger did not refuse to stay, and after the handover was completed, he left the small courtyard.

    Ning Clumsy wanted the storage pouch to be tied around his waist, and continued to teach spellcasting experience and techniques.

    About half an hour later, the second messenger arrived.

    “One Five Elements Ruler magic weapon, one Meditation Bell magic weapon, one bottle of Enlightenment Pill, a bunch of Qi Assisting Talismans, and six Harmonization Talismans. “

    The messenger proclaimed aloud.

    Ning Clumsy exchanged words with him, confirming that there was no discrepancy in the supplies in the storage bag.

    He couldn’t help but feel something in his heart!

    Seeing that Ning Clumsy did not ask any questions, the messenger took the initiative and said, “Little brother Ning Clumsy, you’ve been waiting anxiously, haven’t you? The Ice Jade Wine will be delivered to you, it’s just that this type of wine is warmed in the Iceheart Jade Pot in order to maintain quality and quantity. And the Iceheart Jade Pot is a heavy treasure of my clan, and has always been in the possession of my old ancestor.”

    “Thus to take a portion of the drink, one needs to seek an audience with the Old Ancestor, who will personally bestow it, and then have it forwarded by the family head.”

    Ning Clumsy smiled, “I’m not in a hurry, the messenger is laboring, why don’t you go inside and take a rest?”

    The messenger waved his hand, “No, no, I have business!”

    Ning Clumsy said, “It’s too much trouble to bother the messenger with multiple deliveries, why don’t you let the main vein prepare and then notify me, I’ll personally make a trip and it’s most convenient to claim it all at once.”

    The second messenger shook his head slightly, “I just follow orders.”

    Ning Clumsy didn’t let it go easily, “Then please ask the messenger to forward my thoughts!”

    “Yes!” The second messenger left as well.

    Ning Clum walked back from the courtyard entrance and heard his fellow students excitedly exchanging “I didn’t expect that this time, the family hierarchy is this generous.”

    “It’s all good stuff, even Ning Xiaohui didn’t get this kind of treatment in the past!”

    “It’s all because Clumsy taught them a hard lesson and made the top brass understand what to do.”

    “Hahaha, that’s right, even the young patriarch was brought down by Humble, who at the top now dares to treat Humble badly? Aren’t you afraid of being brought down by Brother Humble again?”

    Ning Yong muttered, “What’s all this fuss about delivering a reward. Back and forth, why don’t you send it all at once?”

    On the side, Ning Shenmich’s eyes were wide open, “Perhaps, someone in the family hierarchy is trying to use this as a way to tell everyone that we’re not treating Humble Brother poorly anymore.”

    Ever since Ning Yong had called Ning Clumsy ‘Brother Clumsy’, this title had gradually spread.

    Especially after yesterday’s events, the fellow students had all changed their words to just ‘Brother Humble’, and no one called Ning Clumsy by his first name anymore.

    By the third time, the messenger finally brought the Ice Jade wine.

    “Two taels of Ice Jade Wine, one Xuan Ice Waist Medallion, two Ling Frost and Ao Xue Enlightenment Diagrams, three piles of Ice Light Strengthening Pulse Talismans, one bottle of Bai Xue Yang Chun Dan, and ten top-grade Spirit Stones.”

    After the messenger’s announcement, he cared for Ning Clumsy again, “The Ice Jade Wine is difficult to store for long periods of time and needs to be consumed as soon as possible. The two diagrams of Lingfeng and Proud Snow were drawn by a great danqing master and contain reasoning, and the Ice Powder is Ning Clumsy’s property and is only temporarily lent to Ning Clumsy. After the time limit, please return it to the clan treasury on time.”

    The messenger was about to leave when Ning Clumsy stopped him. The latter frowned.

    “These rewards are many, far beyond the standard I deserve, and without merit, I will take only a portion of what I deserve, and the rest in exchange for the clan treasury.”

    The messenger was already prepared and replied offhandedly, “These are not just rewards, but also meant to be compensated by the higher-ups.”

    “Ning Xiaoren is indeed very unqualified as a young clan leader. Little brother Ning Clumsy, you have explored the Immortal Palace and are very accomplished, these are used to appease your heart.”

    “That’s what it means from up there!”

    “These things are given to you, they are yours, and how you dispose of them is your business.”

    “Farewell!”

    The messenger left.

    Ning Ji finally couldn’t hold back and got up to call out, “Cousin, you’ve gotten so many cultivation resources, how can you use them all by yourself?”

    “Look, I helped out in the shrine yesterday as well, so why don’t you, lend me a look at those two gnosis diagrams, or borrow some tornado windmills, or else the meditation bell will do.”

    Ning Clumsy quickly swept a glance at the others and realized that everyone, to a greater or lesser extent, had a look of interest.

    It was really that the family hierarchy had given too many things, and these fellow students of Ning Clumsy were all sixteen or seventeen years old, and had almost never seen such a great deal of money.

    Ning Ji actually spoke the mind of many people.

    “You see!”

    “Yesterday, we helped out in a big way, creating a momentum that shook the entire clan, which pulled Ning Xiaoren down, which allowed you, Ning Clumsy, to have such a lucrative harvest.”

    “The other pills, which are consumables, are gone after eating them. We are also too embarrassed to ask for them.”

    “But these magic weapons are excellent for aiding in cultivation. With this friendship between you and I, it’s always okay to borrow some, right?”

    The faint smile on Ning Clumsy’s face disappeared in the crowd’s hopeful gazes.

    He shook his head expressionlessly, “Cultivation artifacts are all personal items, how can they be borrowed at will, don’t mention this again.”

    “Well, the family rewards have finally been sent.”

    “Let’s get on with it!”

    Ning Clumsy returned to his original position and once again opened his lecture, imparting spellcasting techniques and insights.

    “Cheap, so cheap!”

    Having been rejected directly and mercilessly by Ning Clumsy, and stimulated by such a generous reward, the flames of jealousy in Ning Ji’s heart quickly turned to resentment.

    A portion of the cohort, too, was godless.

    But most people quickly adjusted, set their minds right, and paid attention.

    Ning Clumsy did not move, speaking of the various manifestations of these fellow students are secretly memorized.

    End of chapter.
