Pear Garden Teahouse in the southern suburbs of Beijing. Although the name sounded rustic, it was actually a membership-based entertainment venue that only high-end people would enter.
Unlike other high-end clubs, Pear Garden Teahouse had a simple and refreshing style. Most politicians and elegant people would come here.
Ning Guangyao didn't really like this kind of place that was far from the city center. However, he quite liked the food here.
As the premier of the country, Ning Guangyao's food had to be tasted by the guards and confirmed that it was not poisonous before he could enjoy it. This caused many dishes to be mostly cold by the time they were served to him.
However, most of the dishes in Pear Garden Teahouse were fresh and delicious cold dishes. This made him not feel uncomfortable because of the food.
Sitting in his position, he had far less freedom than others thought. Therefore, he paid special attention to and cherished the few things that he could enjoy.
However, Ning Guangyao had always felt that the path he took was wrong. Only those who didn't stand at the commanding heights of power would feel that it was a pity to lose such a life.
Truly standing in his position, the lives of billions of people were in the palm of his hand. Billions of people knew of his existence. This sense of accomplishment was hard for him to resist!
"Premier, please enjoy." The two waitresses served all the dishes on the table and left with a smile.
Ning Guangyao sat alone. There were more than ten plates of all kinds of delicacies on the rattan table in front of him.
If this was reported, the public would definitely curse the extravagance of the leaders.
However, which media would dare to write a real report?
Thrifty and simple? That was only needed when acting.
However, eating alone was still a little lonely.
Originally, he could have brought his wife and eaten with him. Or, he could have brought his only son. No one would have dared to say anything.
But now, that woman had been personally sent to her grave, and that only son had mysteriously returned. This made him extremely suspicious and very dissatisfied.
These thoughts only flashed through his mind. Ning Guangyao knew that he wasn't even fifty years old. Women? Descendants? None of these matters.
He still had a longer political path and more supreme power waiting for him to slowly enjoy!
Slowly picking up the chopsticks, Ning Guangyao began to chew slowly.
Next door, in a private room of the Liyuan Tea House, Ning Xin and Ning De, the two elders of the Ning family, were not interested in eating.
Ning Guangyao left them alone after arranging some incense and tea for them.
Although Ning Guangyao had long known about the existence of the Ning family cultivators and the origin of his family, he never had the heart to cultivate and pursue a long life.
In fact, if it weren't for Yang Cheng's appearance and the series of incidents that involved the cultivators, he might not have had any contact with the people of his clan in this life.
Firstly, Ning Guangyao knew that as a disciple of a secular family, it was very difficult for him to have the opportunity to enter the main sect to cultivate. Secondly, Ning Guangyao didn't think that everyone had the talent to cultivate to great heights.
Even if he successfully entered the Soul Formation stage, he would only be able to live in an illusion for most of his life. It wasn't a good thing.
Anyway, those old guys couldn't escape the word "death" in the end. Ning Guangyao felt that his life was much more meaningful and exciting than theirs.
Halfway through his drink, there was a knock on the door.
Ning Guangyao frowned. He didn't like to be disturbed at a time like this.
"Who is it?"
The person outside didn't respond and opened the door directly.
Ning Guangyao suddenly realized that the situation wasn't good. Why didn't his guards come out to stop it?
When Ning Guodong, who was wearing a well-ironed suit, walked in elegantly with a beautiful unfamiliar woman beside him, Ning Guangyao's heart trembled for some reason.
"Guodong?" Ning Guangyao looked suspiciously at the woman who had a strange smile on her face. For some reason, even though it was his first time seeing her, he felt that she was familiar. "Who is she? Where are the guards outside? "
"Don't worry, they're fine. They were killed in one hit and died peacefully." The beautiful woman stepped forward and said.
"Who the hell are you!?" Ning Guangyao subconsciously tensed up.
Luo Cuishan was wearing a red dress and a light brown windbreaker. She looked extremely enchanting.
"Hehe, my dear husband, we've been married for decades. How come you can't even recognize your wife?"
Ning Guangyao suddenly stood up and widened his eyes. "It's you!?"
Luo Cuishan laughed crazily. "Hahahaha, you recognize me now? Ning Guangyao, have you been looking for me for a long time? You didn't think that I would come looking for you today, right? "
Ning Guodong snorted. "Mom, no need to talk nonsense with him. He's already scared to the point of peeing."
"Bastard! How dare you collude with your damned wife to deal with me!? " Ning Guangyao finally understood the current situation. Ning Guodong came prepared and secretly colluded with Luo Cuishan to deal with him!
It was a pity that his benevolence didn't allow him to control this strange kid earlier.
More importantly, he thought that with Ning Xin and Ning De around, he wouldn't have to worry even if he knew that Luo Cuishan wasn't dead and might be playing tricks behind the scenes.
But now …
"What did you do to Elder Ning Xin and Elder Ning De? Impossible, you're no match for them! "Ning Guangyao took two steps back and said.
"We're no match for them, but that doesn't mean that others can't. Ning Guangyao, you always think that you can predict everything. You're too conceited. That's why you'll always make mistakes." Luo Cuishan slowly walked forward.
Ning Guangyao gulped and his body trembled. From Luo Cuishan's eyes, he could see the hysterical anger of revenge.
Just as Ning Guangyao was hoping that Ning De and Ning Xin would come to his rescue, two screams suddenly came from outside the house!
Ning Xin and Ning De's figures were forcefully blown away by some kind of force and fell heavily onto the stone floor!
With light footsteps, Yang Lie slowly walked out of the house with a ball that was flickering with silver light in his hand.
The deterrence of antimatter energy seemed to have terrified Ning Xin and Ning De. Both of them were in the Mid Divine Transformation Stage, but they seemed to be very helpless at this moment.
In the entire Pear Garden Teahouse, the other guards and waiters seemed to have been quietly slaughtered. There wasn't any commotion at all.
"Yang Lie!?" Ning Guangyao was dumbfounded. He couldn't understand why it was him.
Yang Lie turned his head and looked at Ning Guangyao. He revealed an evil smile, "Premier Ning, you've got the wrong person."
Ning Guangyao's pupils shrank. Hearing this tone, he suddenly came to a realization, "You're not Yang Lie, you're … Wen Tao!?"
In an instant, many things became clear to him. Ning Guangyao cried out involuntarily, "No wonder that reckless Yang Lie could cause so much trouble. So you're that cripple!? Damned slave, I spared your life back then, but now you're using this mother and son pair to harm me? "
Wen Tao shrugged, "Premier, you should be grateful to me. I didn't turn into you immediately, but Yang Lie instead. I'm already very kind to you. As for the mother and son pair, karma is what you deserve. "
"Bastard!!"
At this moment, Ning Xin and Ning De, who got up from the ground, suddenly activated their True Essence. They each summoned their own low-grade dharma treasures, an Eight Trigrams Bronze Mirror and a greenish-purple flying sword.
"Oh, still want to resist?" Wen Tao grinned.
Ning Xin activated his True Essence, and a golden light pillar condensed in the center of the Eight Trigrams Bronze Mirror. The point where the light pillar converged gradually became thinner and faintly turned into a white-gold high-temperature light beam!
"Blazing Golden Light!"
Ning Xin roared, and the light beam instantly pierced through Wen Tao's chest like a long rainbow!
Ning De didn't want to be outdone. He angrily activated the greenish-purple flying sword and slashed at Wen Tao's neck with a purple shadow!
Seeing that Wen Tao was injured by the dharma treasure, the two were overjoyed. They felt that they were only knocked away by his strange power because they weren't prepared.
Now that the dharma treasure was out, how could he be a match for it?
But in the next second, the two were dumbfounded!
With a playful smile on his face, Wen Tao's chest wound healed in the blink of an eye. Other than his clothes being destroyed, there was no other wound!
As for the neck that had been severed, it was swallowed by the purplish-green flying sword and pulled out. Immediately after, the wound was healed as well!
"How … How can this be … Impossible! Does he have an immortal body?! "Ning Xin was shocked.
Wen Tao looked at the greenish-purple flying sword in his hand with disdain and sighed. Then, a dark silver antimatter energy rose from his hand and enveloped the flying sword!
Ning De tried his best to activate his True Essence, but he couldn't make the flying sword obediently return to his hand!
Although it was only a low-grade flying sword made of ordinary darksteel mixed with Purple Cloud Crystal Ore, it was a very reliable dharma treasure for a mid-stage Soul Formation cultivator like him from the Ning family.
Seeing that the flying sword was taken by someone else, how could he not be anxious?!
Seeing Ning De's anxious and painful expression, Wen Tao laughed. "It seems like the True Essence of you cultivators isn't very useful? Your broken sword isn't very tasty, but I'll eat it first as an appetizer. "
As he spoke, the flying sword was devoured by the antimatter energy. It turned into threads of light and disappeared!
Ning De and Ning Xin's jaws almost dropped. To forge a dharma treasure, one needed at least Nan Ming Li Fire. What was that silver-gray energy?! How could it disintegrate and devour dharma treasures so easily?!
