    Chapter Index

    Ning拙端着杯盏,轻抿一口后,对着宁家族长面泛微笑:”Patriarch大人,你难道难道不想你儿子,重新回归家族吗?”

    The Ning family patriarch was staggered.

    He had never imagined that those words would come out of Ning Clumsy’s mouth.

    Because Ning Xiaoren was the one Ning Clumsy pulled down!

    According to the knowledge of the Ning Clan’s patriarch, Ning Clumsy should be extremely loathsome towards Ning Xiaoren. How could he say such a thing?

    The Ning family head was shocked.

    In this moment, he suddenly saw clearly, part of Ning Clumsy’s true appearance!

    The young man in front of him knew the right way, he was in the same category as himself.

    What kind of people?

    Cold to the point of ruthlessness, placing profit over personal feelings!

    Or perhaps the emotions he shows outwardly are just a mask, a disguise for the behavior that best suits his personal interests!

    The Ning family patriarch thought to himself that he had seen clearly the nature of Ning Clumsy.

    Thus, he revealed an unprecedentedly solemn look.

    For the first time, he treated Ning Clumsy solemnly as an equal.

    “Xiaoren ……” The Ning family patriarch mentioned his own son, a touch of tenderness showing on his face, “I do hope that he can come back. But how do you want me to trust you that you can bring him back?”

    Ning Clumsy’s face was expressionless, “Since I was able to pull him off his horse, I’m naturally able to lift him back up as well.”

    “Some time before that, didn’t he also want to cling to me?”

    “I can promise this matter and let him be by my side, working for me. With my current position, isn’t it easy to arrange something for him and give him some credit?”

    “At that time, I’ll personally step in and announce to the crowd that Ning Xiaoren has cleaned up his act and has gained my understanding. Then, the stain on his political career will be washed away.”

    “You see, what a perfect way. In all the world, I’m the only one who can do this.”

    “I’m sure that this is a scenario that Old Ancestor Ning Zhifan would be happy to see.”

    “In the end, our branch vein and your main vein are both surnamed Ning, and are all family.”

    Hearing Ning Clumsy, the one who had gone all out to make the split, say so, the Ning Clan Chief snorted, “What chutzpah this is!”

    Contemplating for a moment, the Ning family patriarch slowly nodded his head with a heavy and incomparable expression.

    The Ning Clan Chief departed, leaving Ning Clumsy alone in the room.

    “Separation, separation ……” he sighed tersely in his mind.

    He always brought up the idea, whenever he had the chance, not simply just talking about it for fun.

    Sects have soul lamps, countries have directories, guilds have covenants, and families naturally have things that bind their children.

    When a newborn baby of the family croaks, the cut umbilical cord is made into a magic bloodline umbilical cord and sent to the shrine to be closely guarded.

    After a baby is named, the name is also made from the blood of the heart, tongue, and feet and depicted in the family tree.

    These are just two of the main conventional means, there are also awesome restraints.

    That’s the ancestors of the underworld!

    This world is divided into two sides, the yang and the yin.

    The yang world was the world that Ning Clumsy lived in, where the sun rose and the moon descended, the winds rose and the clouds traveled, and the flowers, birds, insects, and fish were alive and well.

    The netherworld, on the other hand, is full of ghosts, gloomy and dead.

    The entrance and exit of the netherworld and the yangworld is called the Ghost Gate.

    People are divided into yang and yin life spans.

    According to the natural rules of this world, when cultivators and mortals died, their souls would return to the netherworld, where they would reside for many days until their nether life was consumed, and then they would be considered truly extinct.

    To judge a family, whether it is a cultivation family or not, one should not only look at the size of the community and the highest cultivation level in the yang world, but also the size of the ancestors and the highest cultivation level in the nether world.

    The Ning family was an earthly cultivation clan, not to mention that it was weak in the Yang world, but in the nether world, it was instead very strong.

    This was because sixteen years ago, the Ning family had migrated all the way from the North Wind Country, sacrificing too many of their clansmen, and Jindan cultivators had fallen!

    The forces of the underworld have been strongly replenished.

    The connection between the underworld and the yang is a strong one.

    The Ning family communicates with the netherworld once a year for the great family festival, new descendants in the family, or funerals.

    So, for members of the family, breaking the family rules and enforcing the family law is not something that is said to be fun and games.

    Ning Clumsy needs to be given the name of acting autonomously.

    If not, it would create a break for him to act next.

    It would be a big trouble if the family caught this break and pursued it.

    Ning Clumsy was going to shed his skin even if he didn’t die.

    Now, through the exchange of benefits, the Ning family patriarch had loosened his tongue and agreed to the matter. The various family elders of the Ning family, who were all controlled by the other factions of the main vein, had now also been convinced by Ning Clumsy with the help of Ning Xiaohui’s grandmother’s matter.

    Ning Clumsy then summoned Ning Xiangguo, Ning Qianqian, Ning Blame, Ning Shen, Ning Yong, and the others.

    He had just opened his mouth when he spoke, and was directly interrupted by Ning Blame, “What? To spare the murderer and let her go back?!”

    “Disagree!”

    “I absolutely disagree!!!”

    Ning Blame couldn’t sit still and directly stood up, “Ning Clumsy, ah, Ning Ji is your cousin, one who grew up with you since childhood.”

    “Now, he’s been killed!”

    “And yet you’re going to compromise with the main vein by letting the murderer go and giving it back to them?”

    “What would Jill think of you if she were alive?”

    “I’ve fully supported you to this point, and the Ning Family branch has fully supported you to this extent, your bones can’t be soft!”

    Ning Blame originally didn’t have any worries, all knowing the deep conflict between Ning Clumsy and the main vein. How did he know that this time, when he called for a meeting, Ning Clumsy’s first sentence was like a thunderbolt from a clear sky, giving him a blow to the head.

    Ning Blame couldn’t figure out why Ning Clumsy’s attitude towards the main vein had taken such a sharp turn for the worse!

    “Little Clumsy, if you do this, how can you stand up to Ning Ji, how can you stand up to us, how can you stand up to the branch of the family that supported you!”

    Ning Blame cried and tried to find ways and means to bring up all sorts of names to pressurize Ning拙 to make changes and retract his original decision.

    Ning Xiangguo and the others also looked over at Ning Clumsy, casting searching gazes.

    Ning Yong opened his mouth to say something, but was stopped by Ning Shen, who was sitting on the side, pressing down on his arm.

    Ning Clumsy sighed deeply, “Uncle, please sit down peacefully.”

    “I can’t sit down! Clumsy, give me a word, right now!” Ning Blame acted agitated.

    Ning Clumsy then stopped looking at him and looked around, his expression heavy and his tone smooth, “Of course I am worthy of you all, of the branch of the Ning family.”

    “My cousin is dead, and I am grieved to death. I believe that in this world, besides my great-uncle and great-uncle, I am the one who wants to punish the murderer most severely.”

    “I can’t wait to split Ning Xiaohui’s grandmother in half, right now!”

    “But at the critical moment, I was thinking of another aspect.”

    “I’m not a loner, I’m the hope of the Ning Clan branch, the one who will carry the flag in the future. I want to take revenge, it’s just my own selfish desire.” ???? “But if I were to bring the relationship between the Ning family branch and the main vein to a standstill in order to vent my selfish desires, at such a critical moment, it would inevitably be taken advantage of by the enemy na!”

    “Don’t you think that’s true, guys?”

    Ning Clumsy paused in his speech and looked at the people in the hall.

    Ning Xiangguo was the first to nod his head, ”Indeed, Humble Young is well thought out. At this stage, it is a critical time for the Imperial Examination. In fact, because this matter involves your energy and time, it is already greatly inappropriate. It is indeed inappropriate to be overly hasty.”

    The others also showed their approval.

    Ning was indignant, “Even so, the murderer could have been imprisoned, there is no need to return her?”

    Ning Clumsy sighed, “That’s the second reason I’m going to say, and it’s also the main reason.”

    “I have already used this matter to reach an agreement with the important factions of the Ning Clan’s main vein, and with the Ning Clan’s patriarch as well.”

    “I will release the murderer and at the same time recruit Ning Xiaoren to work with him, and in the future I will publicly announce a reconciliation to help him rejoin the family.”

    “And what we got was a unanimous decision by the patriarch and the family elders – to give me the power to divide the family.”

    A stone has stirred up a thousand waves.

    The crowd was shocked, and a few of them exclaimed offhandedly, “Separation?!”

    After reacting, Ning Qianqian, Ning Yong, and the others asked anxiously.

    “Is this for real? Did I just hear you right?”

    “It would be great to really split up!”

    “I didn’t expect you, Humble Young Man, to have accomplished this great thing without saying a word, quick, quick!”

    The only one who was as stagnant as a stone statue was Ning Keji, who stopped where he was, his eyes wide and staring at Ning Clumsy, his fists clenched tightly, and he didn’t say a word.

    Splitting a family is not a simple matter and can be quite rare.

    A family is a small country, a country is a big country. The division of a country is a big deal. The division of a family is also a major event for a family!

    After making a separation, a family is bound to fall into a period of weakness.

    The clansmen who were separated were able to set up another mountain and were able to open up new foundations.

    Each one has tremendous room for advancement.

    Ning Clumsy, the family branch, then leapt out and became the patriarch of the branch.

    Ning Xiangguo, Ning Qianqian, and the like, would have the potential to become the family elders of the subfamily.

    Ning Shen and Ning Yong, the juniors who were close to Ning Clumsy, would be subjected to the key tilting of the split family’s resources, and their future promotion to Family Elder was unknown.

    As for splitting resources, nothing else.

    For each sacrifice alone, one can use the name and identity of the patriarch and family elders to communicate with the ancestors in the netherworld and gain great benefits.

    On the contrary, before the separation of the family, Ning Xiangguo’s gang couldn’t even become family deacons ah.

    Seeing the ecstatic looks on the faces of the crowd, Ning Clumsy sighed deeply, “Although I hate to kill Grandma Ning Xiaohui immediately, for the sake of the greater good and for the sake of the future of all of us, I’m willing to suppress my own selfish desires and make this decision with blood and pain in my veins, so I hope that all of you will be able to understand and support me.”

    The people in the hall were moved.

    “Chief, I knew that you were deep in love and righteousness. That Ning Ji was corrupt and a fox during his lifetime, many people sued you and were suppressed by you. You must have hated to kill the murderer by a thousand cuts, I know you!” Ning Yong took the lead.

    Ning Shen sighed deeply, ”Chief, you’ve made too many sacrifices and carried too many burdens. I just misunderstood you, I couldn’t do right by you. Now that I realize your good intentions, I was wrong!!!”

    Ning Xiangguo, on the other hand, stood up and bowed to Ning Clumsy, “O Patriarch, what to do next, please command. I am willing to drive for you!”

    When these words came out, everyone looked sideways.

    Ning Shen secretly thought, “Learned, learned.”

    Ning Clumsy exhaled a mouthful of turbid air and nodded slightly, “It’s a great relief to have everyone’s support and understanding.”

    “What do you think, Uncle?”

    Ning Blame was frozen in place for quite a while.

    Upon hearing Ning Clumsy’s inquiry, he let out a heckle and looked at Ning Clumsy, then scanned the hall.

    People and their sorrows and joys are not shared.

    Seeing the hidden joy of the crowd, Ning Chieh, who was filled with the pain of losing his son, felt doubly desolate, and he felt out of place with his surroundings.

    While the others were cooking with fire and flowers, he was in the middle of the ice and snow, abandoned by the world.

    Eventually, Ning Blame’s gaze locked onto Ning Clumsy.

    Not long ago, with the help of great justice, he had come to pressure Ning Clumsy on behalf of the Ning Clan branch, forcing him to avenge Ning Ji.

    But now, after Ning Clumsy had gently thrown out the pieces of meat of the split family, the entire branch of the Ning family had already been tempted to go crazy, so where would they care about the death of a tiny little qi refining junior?

    Ning Blame’s voice was hoarse, “Ning Clumsy, your cousin’s death is being used as a bargaining chip by you, a tool to gain benefits!”

    “What can I say?”

    “What else do I have to say?”

    “I’m just chilled, beyond chilled.”

    “Farewell, farewell.”

    After Ning Blame finished speaking, he left without looking back.

    Ning Clumsy hurriedly got up and tried to salvage the situation, but Ning Blame walked away rather determinedly, his back hunched.

    Ning Clumsy stood in the doorway, looking at Ning Chieh’s departure, and lamented sadly, “The years have not spared me, my eldest uncle is actually so old.”

    “I’m ashamed of him! Gentlemen, my heart is clogged now.”

    “Am I doing it wrong, or am I doing it right? I wasn’t sure for a while.”

    Ning Qianqian and the others hurriedly flocked over, you spoke and I spoke, affirming Ning Clumsy’s approach and praising him profusely for his sacrifice and dedication.

    “For the sake of the entire family branch, you’re really carrying too much!” Ning said forward.

    “Yes, Matriarch.” Ning Shen said.

    Ning Xiangguo couldn’t help but glance at Ning Shen and spoke out in relief, “Ning’s blame is justifiable, after all, to send a white-haired person to a black-haired person and to lose a son in middle age is indeed tragic.”

    “But I think he just didn’t figure it out for a while.”

    “It’s not like he can’t have another child, and when he figures it out, he’ll realize that he’s already in the old line of the family, and is closest to your line, Patriarch.”

    “To be utilitarian, Ning Ji did not die in vain.”

    These words elicited strong approval from Ning Yong, who loudly echoed, “Yes, yes. Ning Ji did not die in vain!”

    Ning Clumsy concluded his care, “You must take care of my great uncle and great aunt.”

    “I’m involved in the temple exams and can’t get away, so I’m counting on all of you.”

    The rest of them responded in a hurry.
