On the night before the annual meeting, the inner hall was full, and on the right side of the carpet at the entrance, large and small, the wealthy businessmen and bosses of Kaiqu County, who were usually difficult to see, came to the Ning family to celebrate the New Year, and the people sitting on the left were the elders of the Ning family with status.

The lord of the mansion sat at the top, and down were the five elders of the Ning family.

Sitting on the steps below are not the famous characters of the Ning family, but juniors, the youngest of them is eight years old, looking extremely immature, and the oldest is only eighteen years old, in the best youth.

Among all the juniors, the most dazzling is the ink-clothed young man who sits in the third row, below the lord of the mansion.

The jet-black hair is combed in a neat bun on the top of the head, set in a delicate white jade hair crown, the delicate face shows a perfect side face under the sun, and a pair of slender and clean hands block the sun from time to time, with a scholarly temperament.

He is Ning Hong, the prince charming in the hearts of all the girls in Ning Mansion.

is not only the strongest among the juniors, but also one of the strongest talents in Ningfu in a hundred years, the three-grade spiritual root, and the middle school palace.

He is fourteen years old this year, and time flies quickly, and it is already the eighth year since he started his practice.

Six years of study has long ended, and his realm has also reached the triple level of opening the pulse, which is already a very fast speed among his peers, and, the year before last, he was also successfully admitted to the Lingjun High School Palace, you know, from the High School Palace, only the second grade of the spirit root and above are accepted, in the Ling Jun High School Palace, he can be regarded as one of the most talented people, and the talent is scarce, which can be seen.

"Here, cheers"

"Happy New Year, hahaha"

Ning Zhan sat in the first seat, holding the cup in one hand, and signaled to everyone in the inner hall.

"Hahaha, Happy New Year, Lord Ning. I it," laughed a fat man with gold teeth on his mouth.

"I wish the Ning family a prosperous talent, and they have done it," a skinny middle-aged man said.

"Thank you for taking care of us all these years, the old man has done it," an old man raised his glass below.

.......

Many guests held their wine glasses with both hands to congratulate, and no one dared to hold the glass with one hand like Xiang Ning Zhan, solemnly revealing a flattery, and everyone in the Ning family looked extremely happy, satisfied and proud.

This banquet is very simple, just to let the people of Kaiqu County know which geniuses the Ning family has, so that they can remember that although the invited people know this purpose, they have to come, if one day they accidentally offend the behemoth of the Ning family, they will not understand how they died, and if no one collects their bodies, then they have fought in vain all their lives.

Everyone enjoyed the sumptuous dinner of the Ning family, but all they ate were tears, and they wanted to enter the Ning Mansion to participate in this dinner, in addition to being a person with a head and face in Kaiqu County, they also had to bring congratulatory gifts, and it was not light, as early as when they entered the door, they were accepted by the two guards at the door, this meal is not cheap, thinking of this, it suddenly made many people feel painful.

Halfway through the meal, Ning Zhan, who was sitting on the high seat, clapped his hands, the applause was not loud, and the applause was mixed with spiritual power, so that everyone present in the inner hall could hear it clearly, and then the conversation gradually subsided, and everyone looked up.

"Okay, I'm glad that you can come to my Ning Mansion as a guest and give me someone Ning this face. Ning Zhan said with a smile.

"Whereever, it's usually the Ning family who takes care of our business, and it's our honor to be here," the golden-toothed fat man flattered, and this sentence was half right.

In Kaiqu County, the four giants are located in the four directions of southeast, northwest and northwest, and the prime location in the middle, no one dares to mess with, that is the place of Kaiqu Xuegong and the county order, and it is the power of the country.

Don't look at them as powerful and blessed in Kaiqu County, but in the eyes of the country and the Son of Heaven, they are just ants.

And the Ning Mansion manages this piece of territory in the south, where half of the shops are the property of the Ning family, and the remaining half of the merchants also have to provide resources to the Ning family every year, and the ugly thing is to pay protection money.

At first, the newcomers felt unacceptable to this and were unwilling to pay, and were ransacked by the local ruffians, only to find that the merchants who had paid the protection fee only looked at him pitifully.

The Ning family is also very attentive to those merchants who have offerings, but whenever they are looted and beaten on this piece of land in the Southern District, the Ning family will come forward to seek justice, so that everyone is willing to make money smoothly.

"Okay, this year, there are fifty-eight children of my Ning family who have turned seven years old, and there are a total of fifteen cultivators, which is an increase compared to last year, which is gratifying."

As soon as Ning Zhan's words fell, the audience burst into deafening applause.

He enjoyed it, but after a few breaths, he pressed down with one hand, and the applause gradually subsided, and he continued.

"Among these fifteen disciples, there are ten first-grade spiritual roots, and five second-grade spiritual roots. ”

''Whoa'

As the applause continued to sound, on the first step counted from the bottom to the top, ten immature disciples slowly stood up with pride and pride, and walked to the open space at the bottom of the steps five meters away from the first table below, standing in a row, facing the high platform.

At the sixth order, five second-grade spirit root talent disciples also followed, ranking behind the ten.

"Return Gift"

Hearing the solemn words of the mansion master, fifteen people turned around and bowed to the guests, Ning Fu, who had been in close contact with rotten eggs before, was among them, he was the five people standing in front, changed into a white dress, and there was no embarrassment that day, but full of pride, if there was no elder of the Ning family to watch, he would have already pointed his nostrils at the people below, and he would have been as spirited as he wanted.

After that, the disciples who had performed well in the past year were commended, especially Ning Hong, who had been sitting in the middle of the third step from the position of the first step since eight years ago, and had become the focus of attention tonight, and countless people had introduced their daughters to him, hoping to gain his favor so that they could ascend to the sky in one step.

On his steps, there were still two young disciples, but their light had already been covered by Ning Hong, and it was not as comfortable as sitting on the fourth step.

In this way, this night, the inner hall became the most lively thing in the Neining Mansion this year.

.....

Tonight, Ningfu was lit up with lights, so lively, everyone was intoxicated by the charming scenery and complimented each other.

But some people are extremely bland, and they are as unharmed as usual.

In the library of Ningfu.

Rows of bookshelves are neatly arranged, and the teenager is immersed in the ocean of knowledge and cannot extricate himself.

On the first floor of the library building, there are only some miscellaneous books that record history and all kinds of strange things on the mainland, there are a lot of miscellaneous books, and there are people to clean them every week, but the dust is still there, obviously they have been piled up for a long time, and they have not been cleaned carefully.

If you look closely, you can see that some of the books have been wiped clean and look out loud throughout the room.

Juvenile is the waste of all populations, Ning Hong.

These miscellaneous books have never been read by anyone in the Ning family, and they have been stacked here for many years, and due to the group training, this layer has not been cleaned up.

And Ning Hong is an exception, since he saw it for the first time, he has fallen in love with these strange things and finds them very interesting.

For example, "Deep Sea", this book records all kinds of strange monsters, they live in the deep sea, due to the long-term lack of light, their eyes have long been degenerated, but their spirits are extremely powerful, they can lock the prey with this breath, no matter where the prey escapes, they can be found, extremely powerful.

In this book, it is recorded that one of the most powerful deep-sea beasts, the ancient thunder shark, the overlord of the sea, has the power to destroy the world, in addition to this vague record, there is also a blood-colored mark, it is a great beast, and few people who have seen it have come back alive.

There are guards on each floor of the library pavilion, but there are no guards on the first floor, as if they are not afraid of others stealing it, except for a hunchbacked old man who is here to take care of it, it seems extremely cool, and there are only four candles, distributed in the four corners, making the room eerie and terrifying.

"Young man, I'm here again,"

The harsh sound of metallic friction suddenly sounded in Ning Hong's ears, and when he looked up, he saw that it was an extremely ugly hunchbacked old man, with unkempt hair, as if he hadn't taken care of it for a long time.

Every time the children of the Ning family who passed by the first floor were frightened by his elusiveness, their hearts were pounding, and those who were timid were so frightened that they had to pee their pants.

Ning Hong had long been accustomed to this, came out of the ocean of knowledge, looked up at the old man, and nodded with a smile.

"Ming Lao"

Ming Lao, everyone doesn't know what his real name is or if he is from the Ning family, everyone calls him Ming Lao, he has been in the Ning family a long time ago, and no one can tell when it is.

"Young man, why don't you go to the New Year's banquet. Ming Lao asked.

"I'm just a broken waste of the dantian"

Ning Hong looked at the old face with a smile, but when he said this, he smiled slightly, and he didn't have a pessimistic look after the dantian was broken.

"You're very different this year," Ming Lao continued.

This sentence made Ning Hong very frightened, Ming always found something, this is impossible!

You must know that only he and his father knew about the restoration of his dantian, and even his grandfather didn't tell him.

Grandpa, as one of the four masters in Kaiqu County, didn't find out about this, how could Ming Lao find out, it should be a coincidence!

A series of ideas came to his mind, but he immediately rejected them, and if these ideas were true, Ming Lao might be extremely powerful.

Then the question arises again, how could a strong man who is stronger than his grandfather hide in the Ning family, hiding on the first floor of this library to take care of these miscellaneous books, which is obviously extremely impossible.

Immediately, before he could continue to think, the old man's words interrupted his thoughts.

"Young man, read more books, these are priceless treasures"

Every time he comes here to read a book, the old man will say this, since his dantian was broken and wasted, he began to contact these miscellaneous books that he had ignored before, and he also felt the same as the old man's words, so that he recalled that the days when the dantian was broken were not all unfortunate, but let him notice these rich knowledge, interesting people and things, which are priceless treasures.

"I know Ming Lao,"

For this time and again, over and over again, Ning Hong never showed boredom, and every time he answered extremely seriously, just like an equal exchange between people, this point, unlike other disciples, saw Ming Lao as if he had encountered a plague, and avoided it.

The words fell, and in the blink of an eye, in front of Ning Hong, it was already empty, leaving only a faint candlelight shining in place, making this place a place of light that remained in the darkness.
