However, the burly man didn't speak. Instead, he slammed his palm on the white wall behind him. Just when Ning Wuji was feeling puzzled, there was a sudden explosion, causing Ning Wuji to jump in fright.
However, what made Ning Wuji even more shocked was that Cheng Yu was actually holding onto a person. This person was none other than the housekeeper who led Cheng Yu here.
Obviously, this guy was actually hiding in the isolated room to eavesdrop. However, he was discovered by Cheng Yu. Therefore, he directly grabbed him from the other side of the wall.
"Housekeeper Pang! What's going on? " Ning Wuji wasn't an idiot. The reason why Housekeeper Pang would appear in the room next door was obvious.
However, he was heartbroken. This Housekeeper Pang had been in the Ning Family for decades. He had always believed in Housekeeper Pang. Naturally, he even gave him a pill to prolong his life, allowing him to live longer than ordinary people. However, he didn't expect that even Housekeeper Pang would betray him. This made his heart ache.
"Master, I just saw that the room next door hasn't been cleaned for a long time. I was preparing to clean it. I don't know why I appeared here!" Housekeeper Pang cried.
"Do you think I will believe you? Housekeeper Pang, you disappoint me. I, Ning Wuji, have always treated you well. How could you betray me? Speak, who asked you to eavesdrop? "Ning Wuji said angrily.
"Master, I really came to clean the room next door." Housekeeper Pang said stubbornly.
"Shut up! Don't force me! Seeing that you and I have been master and servant for so many years, I might spare your life! "Ning Wuji shouted angrily.
"Master, please spare my life! Master, please spare my life! It's … it's the emissary from last time. It's him who asked me to eavesdrop on all the strangers who come into contact with master! "Housekeeper Pang knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
"It's him?" Ning Wuji's heart tightened. That person was none other than the emissary sent by the dynasty.
That emissary was here to investigate the Fang Family. After all, this matter was related to the Ning Family. Especially since his daughter had been rescued. Therefore, they thought that those mysterious black-robed men would more or less be related to them. Or perhaps, they thought that those black-robed men would appear in Ningshui City.
However, he knew that the dynasty had sent people to keep an eye on him, but he didn't expect that even his butler had been bribed.
"What did he give you to make you betray me?" Ning Wu Ji's heart ached as he looked at the old housekeeper who had served him for so many years.
Ning Wu Ji wasn't a heartless person. If he wasn't so evil, he wouldn't want to kill Housekeeper Pang.
"This old man is muddle-headed. Please have mercy, Master. Don't kill me!" However, Butler Pang did not say the reason. Instead, he kept kowtowing and begging for mercy.
"Speak!" Ning Wu Ji roared.
"He … he promised to let our family learn the Art of Immortality," Butler Pang stuttered.
"Agreed to let you learn the art of immortality? But I've already told you that your family doesn't have the talent to cultivate. Even if you force yourself to cultivate, it won't be of any use. Also, I've given everyone in your family a Longevity Pill. Why do you still want to learn this immortality technique? You even betrayed me because of this? "Ning Wu Ji said painfully.
Of course, he would take care of his housekeeper. However, it was true that the Pang family had no talent for cultivation. That was why he gave them the Longevity Pill.
With their talent, even if they really wanted to cultivate, it would just be a waste of time. It wouldn't be of any use.
Moreover, if their Pang Family really wanted to learn the art of longevity, he could grant them their wish. There was no harm in letting them learn it. However, he never mentioned it. He thought that they would listen to him.
However, he never thought that the Pang family would betray him because of this.
"He … he said he can help us!" Butler Pang was a little scared and said nervously.
"Butler Pang, you're too naive. You've been with me for so long. Don't you know the difficulty of cultivation? Yes, you don't have the talent to cultivate. There are other ways to help you.
But do you know that these methods are either extremely difficult or extremely costly? Do you think they would really pay such a high price for the information you gathered? "Ning Wu Ji said helplessly." That's right. That's right.
"This …" Butler Pang was stunned when he heard Ning Wu Ji's words.
He was not a cultivator, but he had always taken care of the City Lord's Mansion. He also knew that not everyone could cultivate, but he didn't want to die. His family didn't want to die either.
That was why he asked for the medicine of immortality from Ning Wu Ji. However, it wouldn't last long. The Longevity Pill could only increase one's lifespan by five years.
That was why the emissary agreed to his condition after finding him. That was why he betrayed Ning Wu Ji.
"Sigh! Seeing that you've followed me for so many years, even if you haven't made any contributions, you've worked hard. I won't kill you this time. Go! " Ning Wu Ji waved his hand. No matter what, Butler Pang had been working hard in the Ning family for so many years. He had managed the Ning family well.
Moreover, in this year, he hadn't left the Ning family. No one came to visit him. He probably didn't hear anything. This was probably the first time he was eavesdropping.
However, although he felt sorry for Butler Pang's mistake, he wouldn't use someone who had betrayed him. Letting him go was already very kind of him.
"Thank you, Master! Thank you, Master! "Butler Pang let out a sigh of relief. He quickly climbed up from the ground and prepared to leave.
"Wait!" The one who spoke was the rough man who had been standing quietly by the side.
Ning Wu Ji looked at the big man with some doubts. He really couldn't see through the big man's strength. However, from the other party's move just now, the big man's strength had already exceeded the scope of his imagination.
When Butler Pang heard the big man's voice, he was almost scared to death. Ning Wu Ji had already let him go. Why did he still stop him?
"You shouldn't be the only one in the Ning family who has been bribed, right? The City Lord Ning was kind to you and didn't kill you. Shouldn't you repay him by telling the City Lord about the Ning family's spy? "The big man said faintly.
Hearing the big man's words, Butler Pang shivered. Ning Wu Ji looked at the big man gratefully. He only felt that he was too careless. He actually forgot about this matter. Then he looked at Butler Pang.
"Master, I have really let you down. The people who usually serve you have been bribed by me!" Butler Pang thought about it and finally told the truth.
However, when he heard the other party's words, Ning Wu Ji's face turned ashen. It turned out that the people around him had been bribed.
Fortunately, the big man appeared today, so nothing big happened. If something really happened in the future, could he still rely on these people?
Thinking of this, he actually broke out in cold sweat!
