Chapter 0262: Where is the real culprit behind the scene – Immortal Worker Opening Things

“You see, Lord Zhu, I did pay the money, it’s in line with the rules.”

“As for why I’m not donating today? Hey!”

“It’s not the right day. I’m managing the black market now, and my proper identity is less glamorous, so I won’t be a spoiler of the atmosphere.”

“If I want to donate, I can reach my goal in the future by donating secretly, so why do something so obnoxious?”

Hearing this response from Ning Clumsy, Zhu Xuanzuo fell into a brief silence.

Ning Clumsy wanted to split up the family and wanted to form his own forces, and he, Zhu Xuanzuo, was very clear about that.

Ning Clumsy had taken the initiative to mention this matter to Ning Righteousness many times in front of him!

Even Zhu Xuanzou felt that this son had a lot of guts. At the district Qi Refining Stage, he dared to speak like this to his own Jindan Ancestor.

Zhu Xuanzuo was appreciative of Ning Clumsy.

Quite appreciative, to be precise.

Especially after hearing this response from Ning Clumsy, it allowed him to understand Ning Clumsy even more – this teenager in front of him was definitely practiced! He knew the rules of the game of the righteous path well, and although he was young, he was as cunning and sophisticated as an old fox. He had a very clear goal, and cared deeply about the feelings of others, and could empathize with them.

Ning Clumsy is both hypocritical and sincere.

And this hypocrisy of righteousness, when it fell upon his little teenager, was so much more endearing.

Ning Clumsy’s response was excellent.

This reply made Zhu Xuanzou’s favor towards him secretly increase a lot.

Zhu Xuanzuo laughed and broke the silence, “Even if you have selfishness, as long as you know how to return the favor, it is the right way. In this world, who doesn’t have selfishness?”

“Even I, who spend my life physically inspecting the people, investigating cases, and pursuing criminals, have a significant portion of the purpose of defending the royal family.”

“Ning Clumsy, you are not bad by nature, and you have a vast future if you act with integrity. However, in life, there are always countless divergent paths. I’ve seen many people with good natures go astray and create sins due to a single thought. By the time they regret it, it is already too late.”

Speaking here, Zhu Xuanzuo stared at Ning Clumsy, his face full of solemnity.

Obviously, he did not use any mana, but from his tone and demeanor, he displayed a powerful oppressive force.

Ning Clumsy took a light breath, his gaze averting away, as if a bolt of lightning had crossed his mind.

He quickly recognized Zhu Xuanzuo’s intentions, “He’s trying to win me over?”

Realizing this, Ning Clumsy’s insides instantly came alive.

“If Zhu Xuanzheng realized that I was the culprit, he would never treat me like this, but would simply take me down!”

“Working backwards according to his heart, he should have realized the suspicion on me, but wanted to follow my line and fish out the real culprit behind the scene!”

But where is the real culprit behind this?

Ning Clumsy was the one who blew up the Immortal Palace, laid out the trial level, killed Chi Bai in the middle of the city in a battle, framed his own genius Ning Xiaohui, directed the Jindan melee, shelled the volcano causing a wave of demonic beasts to attack the city, and planned the Cloud Merchant Bandit case!

“I harbor a great deal of value in Zhu Xuanzou’s heart, and he wants to turn me. If there really is a mastermind behind this, he might even let me act as a witness.”

“So, are we at the third line of defense already?”

Ning Clumsy’s mind ebbed and flowed.

He had carefully prepared several lines of defense in order to fight for the Lava Immortal Palace.

The first line of defense is the evidence that has been played out and manufactured since the age of two, scattered throughout the trajectory of growth.

When others investigated this, they would think that Ning Clumsy was talented in organs, and would think that it was reasonable for him to develop organs such as the Firebolt Monkey.

The second line of defense is the identity of the tweaker.

The third line of defense would think that Ning Clumsy was being used, an accessory, but not the leader of the thieves. After all, this teenager was only sixteen years old, fresh out of the academy, and only had a cultivation level of the middle level of Qi Refining.

Ning clumsily put his heart down a little, the situation was not as bad as that last step – using force and facing Zhu Xuanzuo head on.

“But what clues did Zhu Xuanzui get to bypass the second line of defense and arrive at the third directly?”

Ning Clumsy couldn’t think of an answer to that question.

He could only guess, “Han Moi fell into the net? Sun Ling pupil stole the treasure, leading to a clue from the cloud merchant’s side?”

“Or …… Salesian?”

Ning Clumsy lacked key information, and even though he was quite intelligent, he could not determine the truth.

He was thinking with all his might and his forehead was sweating.

Seeing his wretched appearance, Zhu Xuanzuo did not let him go, and pursued, “What insights do you have about what I just said, Ning Clumsy?”

“Do you feel that your own path is the right path, or the wrong path?”

Ning Clumsy’s pressure increased dramatically!

At this moment, he felt as if Zhu Xuanzou had stabbed his sword to his throat.

How to respond?

It’s very critical!

A sting?

The slightest mistake will anger Zhu Xuanzheng.

Remain silent?

This was a complete relinquishment of the initiative and would convey acquiescence to Zhu Xuanzou.

In Ning Clumsy’s mind, countless thoughts arose frantically and disappeared swiftly.

In just a few short breaths, he was already feeling his mouth dry.
