Longevity Thunder Ancestor

Chapter 443 Ziyi's Decision
It took a long time for Cheng Ziyi to suppress the shock in her heart.

And when she looked at Ningfa again, there was a strange light flashing in her eyes.

This discovery made her make a decision.

Ning Fa felt a little uneasy when she looked at him. He coughed and said, "Uncle Master, is there something wrong with me..."

Cheng Ziyi's face finally calmed down. She looked at Ning Fa deeply and said, "There is indeed something wrong. I observed that my nephew seemed to be shrouded in a layer of strange black light. This should be a very advanced soul secret technique. Even if I want to remove it, it will be very troublesome. This place is not suitable. When we return to Hei Ze Xiancheng, I may need my elder brother to help my nephew remove it."

Hearing this, Ning Fa's face changed.

Even Cheng Ziyi, an early Jindan cultivator, found it difficult to get rid of this secret soul technique.

Zhang Zhilong's strength was far beyond his expectations.

This is simply unbelievable.

But the problem is that it happened now, which made him very wary of Zhang Zhilong.

At this time, Cheng Ziyi changed the subject and said, "By the way, you just said that the robbery organization Xue Jiao would be the Xia family's secret department, and even its leader Xue Ye is a member of the Xia family?"

Her beautiful eyes lit up slightly. If this was true, she could use it to do a lot of things and effectively fight back against the Xia family.

"Yes, I wanted to capture him alive as a witness, but he was very strong and I was not sure I could capture him. In the end, I killed him, but his body and identity token are still there."

After Ning Fa finished speaking, he released Xia Guang's body and his identity token.

Cheng Ziyi looked at the man's body with strange eyes and checked the identity token over and over again.

Then she put the token down, and a strange look flashed across her face.

She first glanced at the still unconscious Cheng Susu, then looked directly at Ning Fa, and asked with strange eyes: "Ning, nephew, do you know what it means to kill this man?"

Ning Fa looked calm and said in a concentrated voice, "It means that I have become a mortal enemy with the Xia family. They will deal with me at all costs."

Cheng Ziyi's eyes flashed, and then he said, "Then how does Junior Brother Ning plan to deal with it next?"

Ning Fa fell silent upon hearing this.

Cheng Ziyi looked straight into Ning Fa's eyes and asked calmly:
"Not long ago, I asked my nephew if he would be willing to be my disciple. Now, I am inviting you again. I wonder if you are willing to be my disciple?"

Ning Fa's expression suddenly changed.

It seems that his previous guess was correct. After he killed Xia Guang, it would not affect Cheng Ziyi's willingness to accept him as a disciple, and it might even be a plus.

Ning Fa looked at Cheng Ziyi and said sincerely, "Under this situation, if Uncle Master is still willing to accept me as his disciple, I will naturally be very willing to do so."

Cheng Ziyi nodded, her face calm and she said: "In addition to you becoming my disciple, I have another suggestion -

That is, you and Su Su become Taoist companions!"

This statement is truly earth-shattering.

Ning Fa suddenly looked up at her with a look of surprise on his face.

He had expected Cheng Ziyi to accept him as her apprentice.

But he never expected that Cheng Ziyi would actually propose that Cheng Susu become his Taoist partner.

He almost thought he had heard it wrong.

"Why? Do you think Susu is not worthy of you?" Cheng Ziyi asked calmly.

"Of course not, it's just..."

Ningfa quickly denied it, but he didn't know how to say it for a moment.

Cheng Ziyi's proposal was too sudden and he was completely unprepared.

"Junior brother, do you know why we were able to get here in time to rescue you?" Cheng Ziyi sighed.

Although Ning Fa didn't know why Cheng Ziyi changed the subject, he was still very confused by this question.

Cheng Ziyi said calmly, "It was Susu who noticed that you were in danger and locked onto your exact location at great cost. Just now, she saw that you were in critical condition and saved you again regardless of the loss."

Ning Fa's heart was shocked.

It was indeed so. He just felt that the colorful glazed shield was most likely created by Cheng Susu.

And unexpectedly, they were able to arrive in time to rescue him because of Cheng Susu.

As for the huge price Cheng Ziyi mentioned, there was nothing to disbelieve. Cheng Susu, who was currently in a coma and whose realm had dropped to the early stage of foundation building, was proof of this.

This caused Ning Fa to feel a complex surge of emotions.

Cheng Ziyi sighed:
"The price Su Su paid was far beyond your imagination. It can be said that in order to save you today, she consumed her future foundation for forming a pill.

You should have heard that our Cheng family is now in a period of transition and has no successor.

Susu possesses a special spirit and is the last hope of our Cheng family. Now, in order to save you, her spirit has been severely consumed and she may even have lost her essence.

This will greatly reduce her chances of forming a pill in the future, and it will also be a huge blow to our Cheng family."

Ningfa frowned tightly.

Cheng Ziyi stared at Ning Fa closely, her eyes gleaming, and said in a deep voice:
“Based on the potential that Junior Brother has shown, there is a glimmer of hope that he will be able to form a pill in the future.

If my Cheng family can fully support us, this possibility will increase even more.

But if you were just my disciple, my Cheng family would not bet so much on you and allocate so many resources to you.

Only if you marry into our Cheng family can you become a member of our Cheng family, and then our Cheng family can help you without hesitation.

This is why I want Su Su to be your Taoist partner.

I hindered you before because, firstly, Su Su is the hope of our Cheng family, and I naturally cannot let her fall into a love affair. Secondly, from my nephew's point of view, although she was not bad, she was not worthy of my eyes.

But now that Susu loves you so deeply, she is even willing to sacrifice herself.

And the strength and potential you have shown now are incomparable to the past, which makes me look at you with new eyes, so I will just go with the flow."

Ning Fa's expression was slightly shocked.

Cheng Ziyi's words obviously meant that if Ning Fa agreed to become a Taoist partner with Cheng Susu, the Cheng family would treat him as a Jindan seed and train him with all their strength.

The temptation is huge. Although the Cheng family is weak, a lean camel is bigger than a horse.

With the full support of the Cheng family, his path to forming the elixir would surely be much smoother.

But Ningfa was a little hesitant for a moment.

Cheng Susu is top-notch in terms of appearance, temperament, and background. Being able to become her Taoist partner is the dream of countless disciples.

Ningfa also has a good impression of her.

What's more, Cheng Susu loves him deeply and even paid a huge price to save him today.

But the problem is that he still has many female confidants. Is he going to abandon them all for Cheng Susu?

Cheng Ziyi looked straight at Ning Fa and said calmly, "Nephew, you should understand that after you and the Xia family became enemies, now only our Cheng family will welcome you in the sect.

And he also has the ability to protect you and the Ning family behind you.

And don't worry, I actually know your close female friends, and I won't force you to separate.

If it were anyone else, I would not have made this concession, but your potential is such that I can turn a blind eye to it."

Ningfa breathed a sigh of relief.

Cheng Ziyi's eyes flashed, and she changed the subject: "But it is not without conditions. Su Su must be your legal wife, and - the child you and Su Su have must have the surname Cheng."

Ning Fa was silent for a moment.

Sure enough.

This situation is not uncommon. There are many outstanding disciples in the sect who marry the female descendants of several major families. Their offspring become members of that family and they gain support from that family.

In the past, Ningfa might have shrugged it off.

But now that Cheng Susu has paid such a huge price to save me, it’s okay for me to sacrifice a little.

What's more, he only wants to improve his personal realm and is not interested in expanding his branches.

Moreover, Cheng Ziyi also knew that Ning Fa might be disgusted, so she also put forward the condition of not breaking up Ning Fa's other confidantes.

Considering the weight of the Cheng family, this is a big concession.

As for the status of his legal wife, it doesn't matter to him. Even Ning Shaohong probably wouldn't care. But it might be difficult to explain to Meng Ruoqi.

Especially now that Fairy Bai Feng hates him so much.

But in my current situation, I can’t care too much.

Cheng Ziyi looked straight at him and asked word by word, "Nephew Ning, what do you think?"

Ning Fa thought of Duanmu Ling and sighed inwardly.

Then he said in a deep voice: "Nephew, I am willing."

"good very good!"

There was a gleam of light in Cheng Ziyi's beautiful eyes, and she spoke with a smile on her jade-like face, looking extremely pleased.

"It just so happens that the sect's disciple-recruiting ceremony is about to be held. I will then formally accept you as my disciple. As for your and Su Su's dual cultivation ceremony, it will be arranged after the disciple-recruiting ceremony. What do you think, Xiaofa?"

Cheng Ziyi spoke with a pleasant face, and her way of addressing Ning Fa naturally became more intimate.

"I'll leave it to my uncle-master to arrange things." Ning Fa said respectfully.

But Ningfa cannot directly call him master now, after all, the ceremony has not been held yet.

Cheng Ziyi nodded, looking in a good mood.

She saw that Ning Fa looked a little serious and thought that Ning Fa was still worried about the Xia family's revenge.

"Don't worry, Xiaofa. After I go back, I will put pressure on the Xia family through the sect. The Xia family set up a dark department to do robbery repairs, which is not something that can be seen in the light. I believe that with the sect's warning, they should not dare to go too far. But just in case, you have to be more careful in the future and don't take risks like this time."

Cheng Ziyi said with a pleasant face.

Ningfa nodded.

Cheng Ziyi continued, "Don't worry about the Duanmu family. I will negotiate with them and let you and your family leave them safely.

After all, you were just a follower of Duanmu Ling before, not a disciple of the Duanmu family, so this is much simpler. The only slightly troublesome thing is your family.

Because our Cheng family does not have a suitable place for your Ning family to settle down.

I heard Zhirou briefly mention before that the Dongze Oasis in the Black Flame Desert where your Ning family lives now is a rare and beautiful place.

Then I must provide your Ning family with a better habitat than this, but my Cheng family does not have such a suitable place at the moment, so we need to wait for a while.

Xiaofa, how do you think about this?"

Ning Fa secretly praised Cheng Ziyi for her thoughtful consideration.

Moreover, he just didn't want the Ning family to move from Dongze Oasis right now. After all, he was still thinking about the things in Baiyan Mountain.
