Immortal Creation
Chapter 342: Family Division Ceremony
A few days later.
The Zheng family land, oh no, the Ning family branch land changed from a piece of white to a large ball of fiery red. The sadness and mourning faded away, and the atmosphere of joy spread.
Ning Zhuo stood on the high platform, first offering sacrifices to the sky, then to the earth, and finally burned paper money and lit incense to inform the ancestors in the underworld - he, Ning Zhuo, officially separated from the family today, at this moment!
"Today's family division ceremony... I have received your great help... I am grateful and will remember it in my heart."
"From today on, I will be the head of the clan. I will be determined to be diligent, do my best, and swear to take the prosperity of the family as my own responsibility!"
"Today's achievements are not achieved overnight, nor can they be achieved by one person. Here, I especially need to remember the many martyrs of the family such as Ning Xiaohui, Ning Xiangguo, and Ning Xiaoren! You shed blood on the battlefield for the family and protected the dignity and safety of the family with your lives. Although your heroic souls are gone, your spirits will live on. We will always remember their kindness in our hearts and swear to strengthen the family and comfort your souls in heaven..."
"...I will inherit the will of the martyrs and be loyal and unyielding. Yu, defend the peace of the family. For the treacherous and evil people like Bukongmen, I, Ning Zhuo, swear to be irreconcilable with them. All evil will be eradicated. I am willing to set an example, forge ahead, and never retreat. "
"... The elders of my hometown are affectionate and loyal. I will never forget them. I will always be grateful and do my best to give back to my hometown. I will be loyal and serve the City Lord's Mansion and the Nandou Kingdom. I am willing to protect the peace of one side with my sincere heart. "
"... Thank you all for joining us in this grand event. I hope we will be of one mind and one heart, work together to build a family, and work together for great achievements!"
Ning Zhuo's passionate speech made countless disciples of the Ning family branch surge with emotion. They have really suffered from the main branch for a long time.
There were also guests invited to watch the ceremony. When they saw Ning Zhuo on the high platform, their expressions were complicated.
There were envious, jealous, fearful, and contemptuous...
After the family division ceremony, a large buffet was set up to entertain guests from all sides.
The former Zheng family land has a new owner. The Zheng family members were either imprisoned or taken away by the Yuanying monks of Taiqing Palace, while the Ning family members were enjoying fine wine and delicious food here, toasting each other, and the atmosphere was warm. Rise and fall blended here, and the cruelty of the rise and fall of humanity made those who cared about them feel cold in their hearts.
The seating arrangement was carefully designed.
Wang Lan sat in a high position at the main table. Ning Zhuo served on both sides, often picking up dishes for her and caring for her.
Wang Lan felt like chewing wax, and she sobbed again while eating.
Ning Zhuo quickly stopped eating and asked gently.
Wang Lan was extremely sad, lamenting that such a beautiful moment was like a dream, but her husband and beloved son fell in the darkness before dawn. She was too sad not to enjoy this moment.
Ning Zhuo comforted her at that time, and his words were like gentle wind and drizzle, which made the guests who witnessed this scene secretly praise and feel sentimental.
At the neighboring table next to the main table sat many widows and orphans.
After Ning Zhuo persuaded Wang Lan to stop, he left the main table and personally took Ning Chen, Ning Yong and others to toast each table in turn.
The first table was the neighboring table.
The orphans and widows were uneasy, and Ning Zhuo announced in public that the descendants of meritorious officials would never be treated unfairly, and a branch school would be set up to provide free education for these orphans.
Such a good policy immediately made the widows excited and tears rose in their eyes. Some of them took their children to kneel down to thank him, and then all the orphans and widows at the table knelt down to thank him.
"Why is it so!" Ning Zhuo's eyes were red, and he helped them up one by one and sat down again.
The commotion was so loud that it attracted the attention of almost everyone in the audience.
The guests praised him, saying that although Ning Zhuo was young, he had the appearance of a family head!
The receptionist suddenly sang loudly: "The elder of the Ning family school came to congratulate!"
Then, he recited the gift list: "10,000 top-grade spirit stones, 3,000 kilograms of red sun copper, 136 balls of foundation-building earthly evil fire, 80 roots of 200-year-old Jinshen..."
The gift list was quite long.
Ning Zhuo hurriedly stood up, respectfully addressed the teacher, and welcomed the elder of the school to the main table.
Among the many elders of the Ning family's main line, the elder of the school and Ning Zhuo had the closest relationship. After all, Ning Zhuo just graduated from the school this year.
After the elder of the school sat down, he took Ning Zhuo's hand, with a kind smile on his face and earnest words.
Ning Zhuo had no choice but to sit next to the elder of the school, talking and laughing.
Those who didn't know thought that the elder of the school and Ning Zhuo had a good personal relationship. In fact, the elder of the school didn't teach, and Ning Zhuo didn't see the elder of the school more than ten times a year.
The elders of the school came to show goodwill on behalf of the main branch of the Ning family, which was a welcome thing for Ning Zhuo. Showing closeness at the moment was also beneficial to the future of the branch family.
Ning Zhuo knew the reason for the change in the attitude of the main branch of the Ning family.
He was not aware of the fact that Ning Jiufan punished Ning Qingqiao and hit the elders of the main branch of the Ning family.
The elders who experienced this matter were all very secretive. Even Ning Qingqiao was no exception.
However, Ning Qingqiao was deprived of the position of elder, which was a major event announced to the outside world.
"To deprive an elder of his position, it is not something that other elders can do together. Now that the position of the head of the Ning family is vacant, the source of the drastic change in the position of the elder can only come from Ning Jiufan. There is no other choice."
Ning Zhuo's branch family has just been established, and for now, it needs a peaceful external environment. Ning Zhuo secretly made a plan: It will not be too late to cause trouble for the main branch of the Ning family in the future. The most important thing at present is that the branch family must gain a firm foothold.
"Master Zhou Nongying, the ancestor of the Zhou family, has arrived!" The receptionist chanted loudly, his voice trembling a little.
You know, this is a Jindan-level cultivator, one of the two ancestors of the Zhou family.
The establishment of the Ning family branch actually attracted such a heavyweight figure. Such a shocking change made everyone at the banquet stand up immediately and prepare to salute Zhou Nongying who was about to take the seat.
The receptionist continued to read Zhou Nongying's gift list.
"Forty foundation-building level fire snakes, thirty-two foundation-building level spirit gathering array plates, and four hundred and forty-six pounds of moonlight cold iron!"
Although Zhou Nongying's gift list was much shorter than that of the main branch of the Ning family, each item was heavyweight.
This made everyone more and more surprised: the Zhou family actually attached so much importance to the branch of the little Ning Zhuo. Not only did the Jindan ancestor take the initiative to congratulate, but he also gave such a heavy gift. I can't figure it out, I really can't figure it out.
This feeling is as if the princes and nobles brought a lot of money to congratulate the beggar.
In the eyes of the public, Zhou Nongying's personal attendance alone has made Ning Zhuo proud for the rest of his life.
The key is that Zhou Nongying not only came, but also brought a heavy gift.
"This is too much of a favor to Ning Zhuo! Hahaha, my branch family will be prosperous in the near future."
"Hmph, what do you know? Ning Zhuo is just a puppet, a prop on the stage. He can only laugh. Zhou Nongying is obviously trying to show goodwill to Ning Jiufan."
"You know it again. You know everything!"
The guests argued in a low voice, but never waited for Zhou Nongying to show up.
Instead, Ning Zhuo said goodbye to the elders of the school with an apologetic look, and ran out of the banquet hall. Obviously, he went to meet Zhou Nongying.
The guests were eagerly waiting, hoping that Ning Zhuo would lead Zhou Nongying over.
As a result, he waited and waited, but he didn't come. After asking, they found out that Ning Zhuo had already led Zhou Nongying into a separate box and would not sit with the public.
So the next moment, everyone sighed, revealing their regret.
After entering the box, where only Ning Zhuo and Zhou Nongying were present, Ning Zhuo straightened his back and his smile became very reserved. He thanked Zhou Nongying for his presence with an equal attitude.
Zhou Nongying personally participated in the third round of the palace examination and knew how powerful Ning Zhuo was. Apart from anything else, the fact that Buddhist doctor Meng Yaoyin held a large snake sickle made the second ancestor of the Zhou family deeply afraid.
Zhou Nongying first said that Zhou Zeshen and Zhou Zhu had praised Ning Zhuo very much, and used this as an opening to talk about the attitude of the Zhou family, which was very willing to get close to Ning Zhuo's branch family, even more than the main family of the Ning surname.
"It's a pity that the bodies of Zhou Zeshen and Zhou Zhu were not obtained." Ning Zhuo thought of this and felt sorry.
These two rising stars of the Zhou family did not die at the hands of Ning Zhuo.
When he entered the main hall through the teleportation gate, he found that Zhou Zeshen and Zhou Zhu had died. They both died at the hands of Meng Chong!
Without letting Ning Zhuo speak, Zhou Nongying took the initiative to propose that the Zhou family was willing to send out the best array-setting monks to modify and improve various arrays for Ning Zhuo's branch family, such as the arrays in the major refining rooms.
Ning Zhuo showed a look of joy on his face and immediately said that close cooperation with the Zhou family was a good thing that everyone in the branch family was looking forward to.
You know, the Zhou family's ability to set arrays is unique. The Zheng family had offered a high price and invited the Zhou family to improve their arrays, but the Zhou family declined.
For the Zhou family, this is almost aiding the enemy, especially the large and small arrays in the refining room. Once these arrays are improved, it will definitely make the Zheng family more prestigious!
But this time, Zhou Nongying took the initiative to let go and use this matter to cooperate with Ning Zhuo, which shows the sincerity of the Zhou family.
Ning Zhuo knew it very well: "On the one hand, my combat power is too high, and I can't treat it as a Qi Refining Cultivation. On the other hand, the Meng family took control of the Lava Fairy Palace, and the Zhou family was under the greatest pressure. They urgently needed allies to fight against the Meng family together."
After the Lava Fairy Palace incident was settled, the entire Huoshi Fairy City had changed dramatically.
The Zhou family is indeed an old family, and has taken active actions for the big changes.
While talking with Zhou Nongying in detail, the receptionist sang loudly: "Lord Fei Si from the City Lord's Mansion has arrived--!"
Fei Si also brought a lot of gifts.
Everyone at the banquet was shocked again.
Compared to Zhou Nongying, Fei Si is the acting city lord, a capable subordinate of the city lord Meng Kui, and a big man who truly ruled Huoshi Fairy City.
And now, such a big man actually came to congratulate in person!
"Am I hallucinating?"
"This is simply unbelievable!"
"What virtue and ability does a little Ning Zhuo have?!"
Fei Si did not sit down either.
Ning Zhuo had to temporarily interrupt his communication with Zhou Nongying and go out to greet Fei Si.
Zhou Nongying sneered in his heart and smiled: "Let's meet, let's meet."
Fei Si saw Ning Zhuo and Zhou Nongying coming at the same time, and smiled meaningfully: "Patriarch Ning Zhuo, it seems that I have disturbed you."
Ning Zhuo bowed his hands and saluted Fei Si, expressing his gratitude for Fei Si's care for him in the past.
Fei Si narrowed his eyes, looked Ning Zhuo up and down, and sighed faintly: "Patriarch Ning Zhuo is too kind. Without me, your strength is enough to overcome all kinds of difficulties. It is me, Fei Si, who has no eyes to recognize heroes!"
He was truly moved.
After learning the truth from Meng Kui, he was completely shocked at the time.
I didn't expect that Ning Zhuo, a young man, hid so deeply and designed so sinisterly and viciously. The destruction of the entire Zheng family was basically because of him!
Fei Si admired Ning Zhuo more, but at the same time, he became extremely wary and defensive.
After all, this young man in front of him, who was only in the Qi Refining Stage, had kept Fei Si in the dark many times. Such strategies and tactics were extraordinary! Anyone who underestimated them would pay a heavy price.
