Longevity Thunder Ancestor

Chapter 35 Ning Shaohong's Justice
The next morning, Ning Fa did not rush to practice, but went to Ning Xilin's grave to pay his respects.

After burning some paper money, Ningfa looked at the tombstone with two glasses of wine in his hands.

He poured a glass of wine on the ground, then looked at the tombstone and said solemnly: "Uncle Xilin, don't worry, I will take good care of Xiaoyu in the future."

After that, he drank another glass of wine.

Ning Fa looked into the distance and thought of Ning Zhenan and Ning Ruiming. A murderous look flashed in his eyes and then he turned and left.

……

Yuanchang Island, Ning Ruiming's home.

Ning Ruiming was pacing back and forth in the spacious hall. He was usually calm and composed, but at this moment his face was gloomy and a little anxious.

Footsteps were heard, and a middle-aged monk dressed in gorgeous clothes and with a dignified face walked in.

Ning Ruiming's face lit up with joy, and he quickly came forward and asked urgently, "Father, what's the result?"

Ning Jiannan sat on the main seat. Although he looked calm, his face was not looking good. He said in a deep voice, "Ning Shaohong made a big fuss at the elders' meeting. He insisted on using the second-level heart-searching talisman on Ning Zhenan to find out whether he deliberately hurt Ning Fa, whether he was instructed by someone, and he was willing to bear the spirit stone of the second-level heart-searching talisman."

Hearing this, Ning Ruiming's face turned pale.

If I really use the second-level Heart-Searching Talisman on Ning Zhenan, he will definitely not be able to resist it, and the fact that I instructed him to harm Ning Fa will not be concealed.

The crime of intentionally harming fellow tribesmen is a serious one, especially when Ning Fa is the family's alchemist.

He was not unaware of the seriousness of the matter, but he thought it could be easily suppressed. He did not expect Ning Shaohong to make such a fuss for Ning Fa and even bring the matter to the family elders meeting.

Seeing that the matter might really be exposed, he finally began to panic.

Ning Jiannan frowned and sighed, "I underestimated the relationship between Ning Shaohong and Ning Fa. It seems that Ning Shaohong still has feelings for Ning Fa's father. She reacted very strongly to Ning Fa's injury this time. I defended Ning Zhenan, but she actually asked in front of everyone if I had ordered him to do so. I was embarrassed and didn't even care about the Third Elder's face."

Hearing this, Ning Ruiming became even more panicked. He hurriedly asked, "Did you really use the Questioning Talisman on Ning Zhenan?"

Ning Jiannan glared at him fiercely at this time and wanted to scold him, but he held back.

He took a deep breath and said, "The Third Elder suspended the meeting and pulled me out for questioning. He asked me directly if I was the one who ordered Ning Zhenan."

Ning Jiannan's angry eyes made Ning Ruiming feel very guilty, after all, it was he who caused this matter. But he also felt a little aggrieved, after all, Ning Jiannan was the one who made the final decision on this matter.

He asked hurriedly, "Father, you didn't admit it, did you?"

Ning Jiannan glared at him again and said unhappily, "Do you think the Third Elder is someone who is easy to fool? I guess he has already guessed it. For him, if I dare to lie to him, it will be much more serious than instructing Ning Zhenan to harm Ning Fa!"

Seeing Ning Ruiming's face turn pale, Ning Jiannan snorted lightly: "Don't worry, I've taken this matter over. Although the Third Elder protects his shortcomings, he is also very disgusted with such things that hurt his own people. If he knew that it was you who ordered it, he might be displeased with you, and your father would have to lose face. But I just wanted Ning Zhenan to teach Ning Fa a lesson, not really wanting to abolish him or even kill him. At least I managed to explain it away." Ning Ruiming breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said gratefully: "Thank you, father. What did the Third Elder say?"

Ning Jiannan seemed to recall some bad memories, and said with an unpleasant expression, "He scolded me."

After all, he is older than the third elder Ning Zhongjiu, and his two daughters are Ning Zhongjiu's concubines. In a sense, he is also Ning Zhongjiu's father-in-law.

But Ning Zhongjiu got angry and regardless of his status, he still scolded him harshly, almost making him lose face. He felt very embarrassed whenever he thought of this incident.

Ning Jiannan shook his head and continued, "Fortunately, the Third Elder did not investigate further. He then strongly rejected Ning Shaohong's opinion at the Elders' Meeting and did not actually use the Heart-Searching Talisman on Ning Zhenan, but he also gave him a very severe punishment."

"For ten years, the family salary will be halved, and all family contribution points earned during this period will also be halved. In addition, you will have to mine the earth crystal vein on the cliff island for five years."

Hearing this, Ning Ruiming breathed a sigh of relief. For him, as long as the matter was not pursued further, that was enough.

Although the punishment Ning Zhen'an received was very severe, he did not take it to heart.

As if he knew what Ning Ruiming was thinking, Ning Jiannan frowned and said sternly, "After all, Ning Zhen'an obeyed your orders and did his best. Although his punishment is unavoidable, you should not think of staying out of it. You should compensate his branch so that you can convince the public. Do you understand what I mean?"

Ning Ruiming bowed quickly and said, "Don't worry, father. When the storm has passed, I will meet with Ning Guichuan and personally comfort and compensate him."

Ning Jiannan nodded in satisfaction, then thought of something and solemnly warned: "Remember not to cause trouble to Ning Fa easily in the future. Although this incident has passed, the other elders are not fools. They can probably guess that this matter is related to us. Fortunately, Ning Fa's injury was not serious. But if Ning Fa is injured like this again in the future, even if it was not done by us, it will be impossible to clear it. Ning Shaohong has warned me in person that if this happens again, she will never let it go."

Ning Ruiming looked a little unwilling, but still nodded in agreement.

Ning Jiannan consoled him, "Ning Fa only has a defective thunder spirit root after all. He will never be able to advance to the middle stage of Qi training, and he will not be able to become a first-class intermediate-grade alchemist. He is not a threat to us. Don't let your anger blind you."

"You still have to focus all your energy on breaking through to become a first-class high-grade alchemist. As long as you become a first-class high-grade alchemist, your father will ask the Third Elder to not only make you the deputy head of the Alchemy Hall, but also let you and Qinghui hold a dual cultivation ceremony."

"After all, Ning Nanqing, Ning Jikun, Ning Leda and others are also ardently pursuing Qinghui. They are also outstanding figures of the younger generation of the family. You cannot definitely defeat them now. Alchemy is your greatest reliance."

Seeing Ning Jiannan mention Liu Qinghui, Ning Ruiming's eyes flashed with enthusiasm, and he quickly said, "Don't worry, father. I know that I have never relaxed in refining pills these days."

After saying that, Ning Ruiming seemed to have thought of something and asked in a low voice: "Father, how is Linglu Island...now?"

Ning Jiannan narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "We have already passed the test of the Third Elder. Linglu Island is now under the full development of our lineage, but it is estimated that it will take at least several years before there will be any progress."

Ning Ruiming said excitedly: "We can definitely afford to wait this long. Once we obtain the relics, we won't have to fear anyone anymore."

Ning Jiannan's eyes flashed, these words touched his heart. After all, the scene of him being scolded like a dog by his son-in-law was still vivid in his mind, and he didn't want to experience it again in his life.
