Ning Zhuo's expression was somber as he discussed with the other two and decided to agree to the ransom once more, sending Ning Xiangguo again.
After comforting his uncle and aunt thoroughly, Ning Zhuo immediately went to see the Ning Family Ancestor, Ning Jiufan, and explained the situation to him.
Ning Jiufan then asked Ning Zhuo, "What do you think about this?"
Ning Zhuo said, "I believe that this is because of my participation in the tribunal test, where I performed quite well. It's clear that many people do not want to see me continue to win like this. Therefore, they resorted to despicable means to distract my energy and time."
Ning Jiufan stroked his beard, his gaze at Ning Zhuo filled with implicit admiration.
