Trouble at the Black Market was one of the eventualities Ning Zhuo had anticipated.
He was not surprised in the least.
"If it really comes down to it, just abandon the Black Market completely and bunker down."
Compared to the Lava Immortal Palace, the Black Market was just a minor detail. If Ning Zhuo were to be distracted by this and to invest his energy and time here, it would mean that the enemy's conspiracy had succeeded.
Of course, a full retreat was only a last resort. At this stage, it was not yet necessary.
Ning Zhuo immediately replied, instructing the Black Market to seek help from Ning Youfu and Ning Houjun, the two former Family Elders.
Ning Zhuo's strategies were far-seeing; he had anticipated many difficulties during the palace examinations and had made arrangements in advance, including convincing Ning Youfu and Ning Houjun.
These two had played significant roles in helping Ning Zhuo overthrow Ning Xiaoren.
