Longevity Thunder Ancestor

Chapter 31: Killing Intent

Ning Fa's face suddenly became extremely gloomy, and murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

"Uncle Xilin died to protect me."

Ning Zhengqian sighed softly, "My condolences, Xiaofa. The situation was chaotic that day, so Ning Zhenan might not have done it on purpose."

Ning Fa had a blank expression on his face. He didn't care whether Ning Zhen'an had made a mistake or not. In fact, he had been attacked by him twice. If Uncle Xilin hadn't blocked the second attack for him, he would probably have been the one who died.

Even if he didn't want revenge for himself, he would never let Ning Zhenan go just to save Ning Xilin who died.

And it was hard to say whether Ning Zhenan did it on purpose. Otherwise, in such a chaotic situation, and he was behind the crowd, how could he be attacked twice in a row by such a coincidence? He clearly remembered that he was running in the opposite direction of the magic ball.

At this time, Ning Zifeng frowned, his eyes flickered, and then he said in a deep voice: "Then Ning Zhenan might really be going for Xiaofa."

Hearing this, Ning Fa suddenly raised his head and looked at him. His father frowned and asked, "Zifeng, do you have any evidence?"

Ning Zifeng replied, "After Uncle Xilin risked his life to block an attack for Xiaofa, another ball hit Xiaofa. If I hadn't arrived in time, Xiaofa would have been hit. Now that I think about it, it's really strange. Three consecutive attacks hit Xiaofa. It seems a bit too coincidental."

Ning Zhengqian pulled his beard and said angrily, "So, Ning Zhenan might have done it on purpose. This man is so cruel!"

Ning Zifeng continued solemnly, "And think about it carefully. It was obvious that Ning Zhenan and his men were looking for trouble that day. They deliberately angered my aunt and made her attack first. Then Ning Zhenan also acted out of character and fought regardless of violating family rules. Perhaps his ultimate goal was Xiaofa."

"After all, Ning Guichuan and his men have always wanted to drive us out of Pyeongchang Island. But now that Xiaofa has become the family's alchemist, their hopes are obviously dashed, so they want to take the opportunity to get rid of Xiaofa and clear the obstacles. Perhaps they don't necessarily have to get rid of Xiaofa, as long as they can disable him. We can guess this from the fact that he was injured in the Dantian area."

After listening to Ning Zifeng's words, the air suddenly fell silent.

Ning Fa had a blank expression on his face, but the coldness in his eyes was as real as if it had substance.

When Ning Zifeng mentioned that he blocked the third attack for him, he realized that this was a conspiracy against him.

Ning Guichuan and his men deliberately provoked trouble in order to lure me over there and cause a melee, and then have them attack me in the melee, so that they would have an excuse to deal with the family investigation.

The reason Ning Zifeng said was very correct, and Ning Fa also thought of a deeper level.

As for the reason, he felt that it was not as simple as Ning Zifeng said.

Ning Fa immediately thought of what Wei Chengzong had said when he reported to Dan Tang before. The other residences in Dan Tang had problems with the restrictions, so he was asked to wait on Pyeongchang Island for a while. Then this incident happened.

It all seems to be just a coincidence, but Ning Fa has experienced countless cruel business wars, both overt and covert, in his previous life. With his rich experience, he is almost certain that there must be a connection between them.

He could even conclude now that it was Ning Ruiming who was behind all this.

This person deliberately instructed Wei Chengzong to delay his entry into the Dan Hall, and then found Ning Zhenan, using the conflict between their lineage and his own lineage as a cover to launch this conspiracy against him.

He didn't necessarily want to kill himself. Maybe, as Ning Zifeng said, he just wanted to destroy himself and make himself completely non-threatening.

Although Ning Fa had no evidence, he intuitively felt that this should be the truth. Although he looked calm, he already had a deep hatred for Ning Ruiming and a fierce murderous intent in his heart.

I didn't expect this person to be so cruel.

As if seeing that Ning Fa's face was not right, Ning Zhengqian consoled him, "Xiao Fa, even if Ning Zhenan did it on purpose, we don't have any evidence after all. That person is a master in the late stage of Qi training. Even your uncle is far from being his opponent. You must not act impulsively."

Ning Zifeng also nodded and said, "Father is right. After all, we just speculated and can't do anything to Ning Zhenan. You have just joined the Dan Hall and have a bright future. There is no need to rush to seek revenge on him for this matter."

Ning Fa looked at Ning Zifeng, and looked up to his cousin even more.

This cousin is not only calm and reliable, but also principled and intelligent. He immediately thought that this accident was a conspiracy against him by Ning Zhenan and others.

Moreover, he also blocked the third attack for himself, so it is not an exaggeration to say that he is his savior.

Ning Fa couldn't help but think that if he wanted to develop in the family in the future, he could not neglect to cultivate his own branch strength to serve as his solid backing.

Obviously he would not consider his eldest aunt's family, and he would not consider his fourth uncle's family either, as he and his eldest aunt are siblings.

My uncle's family is very friendly to me and has helped me when I was in trouble. This cousin also seems to have the qualities of a great general. Perhaps I can train him and make him a reliable helper.

Ning Fa thought for a long time. Noticing the worried looks of the two, he regained his composure and said, "Don't worry, I won't act impulsively. By the way, how did this conflict end?"

Ning Zhengqian replied: "The family law enforcement team arrived in time and took several of our key figures away for questioning. Later, each of them was given fifty lashes of the board, and several of our clans were fined dozens of spirit stones."

Ning Fa raised his eyebrows and asked in a strange tone: "What about Ning Zhenan?"

Ning Zhengqian replied: "The punishment has not come out yet. I heard that they were going to give him a lighter sentence, just a fine of several years' salary, but the Ninth Elder insisted on a strict investigation and had a very bad relationship with the Tenth Elder."

There was a cold light flashing in Ning Fachen's eyes. The Tenth Elder was Ning Ruiming's father, which made him more convinced that it was Ning Ruiming who was behind all this.

But he didn't intend to tell his uncle and others about this, because they could not help and would only increase their worries.

At the same time, he was also very grateful to Ning Shaohong. Although she said that she would only do Ning Fa a favor, it was obviously not the case.

Ning Fa suddenly asked, "Has Uncle Xilin's funeral been held?"

Seeing Ning Zhengqian nod, Ning Fa said in a muffled voice: "Uncle, tell me where Uncle Xilin is buried. I will go to pay my respects after I recover."

After saying that, he seemed to have thought of something: "Does Uncle Xilin have any direct relatives? I remember that he only has a granddaughter, Xiaoyu."

Ning Zhengqian sighed, "Yes, Xilin originally had a son who worked for the family in Tianshui Market. Unfortunately, he died young due to an accident, leaving only this little blood behind."
