Fortunately, Ning Hongyuan has understood the truth of troubled times since he was fifteen years old, and "unity" is more important than everything in troubled times.

Ning Hongyuan has always believed that his eldest brother is the only inheritor of his father's career, he only needs to help his father and eldest brother rule the world wholeheartedly, and only needs to inherit his father's will.

As for whether he will become the future successor of the Divine Sword Sect, whether he will be the future prince, or even the future prince, he has no desire at all in this regard.

If Ning Hongyuan is in front of his eldest brother, there is anything that he refuses to back down, it is only in swordsmanship, at this point, he will naturally not back down, and power, reputation, prestige, etc., these things imposed by outsiders, he will never make any comparison with his eldest brother.

There were also many assassins who planned to separate the relationship between Ning Hongyuan and Ning Wuji, but before they could say anything, Ning Hongyuan told them to shut up.

Before, Dongfang Hao witnessed the experience of the princes of the first emperor, these princes were so united when they were young, and after the first emperor returned to the west, these princes fought in the same room for power, which shocked him by the temperament of the children of wealthy families, especially when a pair of princes were hunting, the eldest brother resisted the most deadly cold arrow for the third brother, and finally sent the third brother to the guillotine for power.

These terrible things are still vivid in Dongfang Hao's mind now, so in order to confirm that Ning Hongyuan is not like this by nature, he did a series of previous experiments.

Now, Dongfang Hao has passed the test against Ning Hongyuan again and again, and he has been able to completely believe that Ning Hongyuan, a young hero, has no interest in power in his heart, and he is a real swordsman, and he is also a swordsman with a strong sense of responsibility.

Compared with the expectation of Ning Wujian standing on the divine sword altar at this time, Dongfang Hao's heart was even more looking forward to Ning Hongyuan, because he always felt that Ning Wujian was too decent, too perfect, and perfect was almost a little incredible, and this kind of 100% gentlemanly style really did not match his character, because he was a wonderful father.

Therefore, he admires the strange and humorous Ning Hongyuan even more, even if this kid is a little.

Dongfang Xue was naturally able to understand the good intentions of her father's approach, and said: "The assassin world says that Ning Hongyuan is broad-minded, but how can these statements compare to his own personal experience? Therefore, my father is still not at ease, and plans to let me give it a try!

When Dongfang Hao heard this, he knew that there was something in this girl's words, but he replied seriously: "That's the truth! You girl, are you still angry with my wonderful father?"

Dongfang Xue smiled slightly: "You are a wonderful father, I am a wonderful daughter, because after you arranged for me to do such a task, I agreed without thinking about it! If I am not wonderful, how can I do such a strange thing?"

Dongfang Hao listened to the words of his lovely girl, and smiled loudly, "You have your father's wonderful talent!"

The father and daughter looked at each other and smiled, and everything was in laughter.

At this moment, Dongfang Xue remembered the three words Ning Hongyuan, and suddenly recalled the picture of that night in her mind, looked up at the vast starry sky, sighed, and said: " I know, when you asked me to assassinate Ning Hongyuan five or six times, you just wanted to test whether Ning Hongyuan had a youthful demeanor, and by examining whether Ning Hongyuan was qualified, and then decide whether to start a long-term cooperation with the Ning family, but for me, your approach is completely to treat your daughter as a monkey and a tool, but for the sake of your hard work for twenty-five years, give me food, give me clothes, let me study and practice swords, I won't care about you!"

Dongfang Hao turned his face sideways, and when he saw his daughter so cute, he felt a little guilty, a little relieved, and a little appreciative.

Dongfang Hao touched the tips of her hair and said, "With your words, my father is very relieved." ”

Dongfang Xue continued to ask: "Forget it, I won't worry about you, my father will take this opportunity to continue to talk about the legendary experience with Ning Yiwu's predecessors!

Dongfang Hao sighed, his gaze suddenly shifted from Ning Yiwu's body to General Xuanwu behind him, and there was a little more regret in his expression, and after a long time, he began to continue to answer: "As for the later things, it is not so legendary, he has his career, I have mine, and there has never been any intersection between each other's careers, after parting, your Uncle Ning Yiwu has not met me a few times later!"

"Haven't you seen it before?" Dongfang Xue felt a little regretful in her heart, she originally wanted to hear about her father's weal and woe with Ning Yiwu's predecessor during the Second Northern Expedition, but all this ended early.

Dongfang Hao's eyes were also full of regret, nodded, and said: "Yes, later, we never met again, whether it was your Uncle Ning Yiwu's first Northern Expedition, or the second Northern Expedition, or he was later persecuted by the emperor, I was closed by your Dongfang grandfather, and because of the special industry of sword casting, I have no time to clone at all! ”

"So, what did my father say at the beginning about funding Ning Yiwu's predecessors for the second Northern Expedition?" Dongfang Xue asked carefully.

Dongfang Hao was extremely shocked when he heard her so careful, and he turned his face to look at the silhouette of this girl, and was stunned for a long time, and then said: "At that time, I was also a little famous, through superb swordsmanship, so, I also saved a lot of money, at that time, I didn't dare to move a penny of this money, but as soon as I heard that your Uncle Ning Yiwu led the second Northern Expedition, I donated all the money without hesitation!"

"So that's the case, my father is really generous,"

It was only later that he was persecuted by the Emperor, and at this point, I didn't know about it at all, and it was later that your Eastern Grandfather told me before he left this Martial Realm plane!"

Dongfang Xue suddenly realized, "So that's the case, no wonder, I said why my father was indifferent after hearing that Ning Yiwu's predecessor was persecuted by the emperor, it turned out that Dongfang Grandpa blocked the news!"

Dongfang Hao nodded, and said: "That's right, your Dongfang grandfather knows that I am a person who pays attention to love and righteousness, and he is also an extremely responsible mentor, in order not to delay my attainments in the sword forging industry, since your Uncle Ning Yiwu led the Northern Expedition for the second time, he blocked any news about Ning Yiwu from me, so later, your Uncle Ning Yiwu was persecuted by the emperor, I didn't know at all! Until today, it is the day when I will meet you Uncle Ning Yiwu again!"

Forty years ago, in the face of such an ending, Dongfang Hao was inevitably a little sad in his heart, he was not able to share life and death with Ning Yiwu, and he was even more regretful in his heart, after all, a heroic young man like her longed to make a group of like-minded brothers when he was young, and this desire could not be explained in words.

But in the end, by mistake, this dream did not come true, but allowed me to realize another dream.

However, Dongfang Hao firmly believes that the meaning of this temporary parting is just for a more perfect reunion, he can already imagine the excitement of reuniting with Ning Yiwu tomorrow night, he can already imagine the indescribable excitement of Ning Yiwu at the moment he saw him!

Although they have not had the opportunity to meet each other in the past forty years because they have been too busy with each other's careers, they will always have correspondence every year, and most of these letters are written by Ning Yiwu to him, because his writing is not as sharp as Ning Yiwu's, and he enjoys reading Ning Yiwu's letters even more.

He still keeps these letters, and he has kept them since the first letter Ning Yiwu wrote.
