Immortality Cultivation Era

Chapter 50 Throwing Mud

Ning Yun knows Ning Chen quite well.

After pushing this little bastard to this point, Ning Yun thinks Ning Chen would definitely surrender if it was him.

“So, who on earth got the Meng Family into trouble?” Ning Yun looks around and asks in a cold voice full of murderous desire.

He almost made a deal with Gao Ge.

He could see that Gao Ge is an easygoing person. However, that unfortunate incident happened to hinder the progress of their peace talks. How could Ning Yun not be furious?

“Master, in my opinion, this matter can be handed over to me for investigation. According to the access and exit records and transfer of all the personnel of our family, it is not difficult to catch that guy.” Says the haggard old man who appeared before.

Ning Yun thinks for a moment, then turns to look at the old man and nods gently, “Okay, Second Uncle, I shall count on you.”

The haggard old man nods.

Although Ning Yun called him second uncle, the haggard old man is not a brother of Ning Fu (the old master of the Ning Family). In fact, he is not a member of the Ning Family.

The old man’s original surname is Qi, but after provoking some enemies around the martial world, he was sheltered by Ning Fu’s father. From then on, feeling grateful to the Ning Family, he even changed his surname to Ning. So, his name is Ning Tunlong now.

Since Ning Fu’s father died, instead of leaving the Ning Family, Ning Tunlong became one of their indentured servants who must guard the Ning Family all the time. Now, he is undoubtedly their top expert. When Xia Lu broke into the Ning Family, it was also Ning Tunlong who repelled her.

When Ning Yun returns to rest, people inside the chamber begin to talk out loud.

“What’s going on? Not to mention the fact that we didn’t send anyone to trouble the little girl’s family, even though we really did, so what?”

“Indeed! Are we supposed to be scared?”

“Well, our master is really aged...”

Ning Chuan’s eyes flashes, he suddenly realizes that this is an opportunity. Therefore, he immediately takes a few steps forward and asks, “My fellows, let me ask you, if we really start to fight against the Xia Family, are you scared?”

“Why would we! The Xia Family is nothing!”

“Yeah, this is Jiangnan City, we Ning Family never feels scared to others!”

Ning Chuan nods, feeling content.

However, an annoying cacophony sounds at this time.

“Second Uncle, the Ning Family might only sustain a couple of days if you were the master.”

Everyone looks towards the man who is talking.

They immediately shut up after seeing him.

Yet, Ning Chuan is quite embarrassed.

“What do you mean, Long?”

Ning Tulong, a son of Ning Yun, walks towards Ning Chuan step by step and says, “Second Uncle, I know you want to use this opportunity to stir up the mood of our family, but what’s the point? Even if all of them are on your side, so what?” He doesn’t talk in an annoyingly buoyant fashion. Actually, he is steadier than Ning Chuan.

At this point, Ning Tulong pauses, then turns to look at the large crowd behind him and says with a smile, “As long as my dad stands here, who dares to say a word?”

Ning Chuan’s face turns red in exasperation. He can do nothing but watch Ning Tulong leave the chamber.

Inside Ning Yun’s study, Ning Tunlong is sitting on a chair opposite to Ning Yun.

“Second Uncle, you mean those who tried to get Meng Jing’s family into trouble aren’t our family members?”

The old man nods.

Without saying anything, Ning Yun sinks into a reverie.

“Obviously, Master, someone is trying to throwing mud on the Ning Family.” Says the old man.

Ning Yun smiles wryly and says, “In fact, I had such a suspicion from the very beginning. A girl named Zhang Wei just vanished, nobody can find her. From that time on, I vaguely feel that this matter is not simple. I even think the reason why Ning Shi, the little brat, went to see Meng Jing was under somebody’s guidance.”

The old man says worriedly, “In that case, things are getting a bit confusing. In fact, neither Gao Ge nor Xia Lu is difficult to handle, we just need to bear their anger. However, having an invisible opponent who is a total stranger to us is actually the biggest trouble...”

“I need to go out.” Says Ning Yun after standing up.

“You want to see Gao Ge?”

Ning Yun nods.

“Do you think they would listen to your advice now?” Asks the old man.

“This is the only way. From the very beginning, that invisible enemy wanted to push the Ning Family to provoke Gao Ge, Xia Lu and their friends, and now he is still pouring oil on the fire. It’s clear that this guy is trying to have us cornered. Even if Gao Ge and his friends don’t believe me, it would be good for us to make them start to feel a little bit confused.”

The old man nods and remains silent.

“I need to find my father first.” Says Ning Yun.

“You are going to take that thing out?” Asks the old man surprisingly.

“Other than this, I have no other choices.” Says Ning Yun in a serious voice.

The old man watches Ning Yun leave with a bitter smile on his face.

Inside the little yard.

Finally, Gao Ge wakes up slowly.

He feels the house abnormal when he opens his eyes.

The original rich spiritual aura suddenly disappears.

He is shocked, then a sense of anxiety rises from his heart.

“Are you awake?” Gao Ge hears the voice of Meng Fang.

He turns to see Meng Fang, feeling a little surprised, then he sits up slowly.

“Why are you here, Mr. Meng? And is Meng Jing alright?”

“I am okay. Just a couple of little bastards. Since you are awake, I am going to visit the Ning Family and ask what on earth do they want!” Meng Fang nods.

It can be seen that Meng Fang is really angry now. Anyway, not to mention Xia Lu and Gao Ge, Meng Jing alone has received his concern.

In his view, Meng Jing is really one of the chosen ones who has opened up 34 martial meridians before officially cultivating. Probably, only a few people like her can be found around Huaxia.

Thankfully, Meng Fang went to the Meng Family in advance, otherwise something unexpectedly awful might happen.

“Wait a while, Mr. Meng.” Gao Ge coughs.

“What’s the matter?”

“When Ning Yun and I were fighting, he said that it wasn’t him. I was so angry that I didn’t have patience to listen to him. But now after thinking about it, it’s actually quite strange. If he really wanted to push us hard, he wouldn’t have to come to us to negotiate. It would be a waste of time, and he might even put himself in danger.” Says Gao Ge.

“What if it’s a bitter game?” Asks Meng Fang.

“Not possible. I was wounded by him. Is it a bitter game? Then who are the bitter ones? Don’t they know what trouble they may cause by doing this?” Says Gao Ge with a pained smile.

Meng Fang sits down again and stares at Gao Ge.

“If the Ning Family did do it, it would be okay for us to get them into trouble, but if they didn’t, we are actually letting whoever behind this get away with punishment. This guy’s presence is what makes me feel uneasy. Of course, it’s wonderful if this guy is a mere gloss, but what if he actually exists? Well, I would feel uncomfortable being stared at by him all the time.” Says Gao Ge.

After taking a deep breath, Meng Fang asks, “So, who do you think is behind this?”

Gao Ge shakes his head and says, “I can’t tell. However, this person wanted to let the Ning Family offend us utterly. He obviously knew what horrible things might happen to the Nings if they did do that. They will be out of luck. For example, if I didn’t stop you previously, now the Ning Family may be removed from Jiangnan City completely. So, why not take a step back and guess? Well, if this happens, who would be the biggest beneficiaries?”
