"Sister, what's going on? Brother-in-law didn't cross all these women, did he? "
Murong Yanran and Murong Yixiao sat in the living room and stared at each other, unable to hear any sound in the room. Murong Yixiao suddenly had an idea and asked with confusion.
"Go away. He is not so dirty."
Murong Yanran rolled her eyes at her brother. Although Ding Ning was a playboy and these women of Mysterious Ladies Tribe were not ugly, Ding Ning would never have any evil thoughts about the women who almost killed them because he was so protective of his children. As for her brother calling Ding Ning brother-in-law, she had been immune to it and didn't want to waste her time talking to him.
Although the sister and brother deliberately avoided what had happened before, they had to face it. Thinking of her father's heartlessness, Murong Yanran couldn't help but have tears in her eyes. Murong Yixiao also sighed and wanted to comfort them, but he didn't know what to say.
Perhaps the night owl knew that it was going to die and still wanted to resist stubbornly. But under the acupuncture of the silver needles, which magnified the pain by a hundred times, it finally failed to resist. In just a few minutes, it could not bear the pain anymore. It screamed like a pig being slaughtered and clearly confessed everything that should be confessed.
"Considering that you haven't done many evil things, I will let you go this time. I don't care how you do it, but inform the Holy-goddess Tribe to send Lone Ranger to Gusu in three days. Otherwise, don't blame me for destroying your Holy-goddess Tribe. I believe you are very clear that I have this ability."
Ding Ning opened the door and walked out. He turned around and said coldly to more than ten Holy-goddess Tribe members who were pale and trembling, but Nightingale was not here.
"Yes, we will inform the tribe as soon as possible."
The Holy-goddess Tribe members were tortured by Ding Ning's acupuncture of silver needles. In their eyes, Ding Ning was a devil and didn't dare to disobey him. They nodded obediently like elementary school students. After getting Ding Ning's permission, they fled as if they had been granted amnesty.
Ding Ning was not as relaxed as he appeared to be. He learned from Night Owl and the maidens that they were able to find Paradise Island this time because Night Lone Ranger had asked for help from the maidens' business in the secular world, and thus their whereabouts were exposed.
But Night Lone Ranger was very cautious. She always came and went through the Transmission Formation. Even if the fact that she was hiding in Ninghai was exposed, it was actually difficult for the Holy-goddess Tribe to locate the exact location of Paradise Island and catch her.
The reason why the Nightingales were able to find Paradise Island was that an unidentified person had tipped them off. The person had given them a list of all the women who were close to Ding Ning and said that as long as they followed them, they would definitely be able to find Ding Ning.
Find the man they're looking for.
The information provided by this person was very detailed. In addition to Blue Dream Butterfly and Pan Xiangyun, all the other women who had a relationship with him were on the list. Even Xiaoyao and Zhao Jingjing, who had a very secretive relationship with him, were included.
Nightingale had been following them for two days, but they had used the Teleportation Portal to get to Paradise Island, so she could not find any trace of Night Lone Ranger at all. In the end, she had no choice but to leave a Divine Consciousness Mark on them. With the Divine Consciousness Mark, Nightingale had to expend a lot of her Divine Consciousness to locate Paradise Island.
Of course, the tactical formation of Paradise Island was not as vulnerable as Ding Ning thought. Nightingale had the Magnetic Formation-Destroying Rune on her. With the Magnetic Formation-Destroying Rune, which was specially developed by the Holy-goddess Tribe for countless years, Nightingale had to consume a lot of Magnetic Formation-Destroying Runes to be able to come and go freely on Paradise Island.
From Nightingale, Ding Ning got three Magnetic Formation-Destroying Runes and more than ten Magnetic Formation Discs, which could be used to set up tactical formations at any time. It was a great harvest, but if he could not find the mysterious person who had provided the information to Nightingale, he would not be happy.
After calling Zhu Wuxia and asking her to investigate secretly, Ding Ning calmed down and followed Murong Yanran and her younger brother to Swallow Dock.
On the way, Zhang Heping called to urge him. This Warriors' Assembly was hosted by the National Warrior's Mansion and the Bureau of Religions together, and the Ninghai Seventeenth Department was the organizer. As the director, it was unreasonable for him to not attend the opening ceremony.
However, Ding Ning also sensed something unusual from Zhang Heping's hesitant words. The Seventeenth Department and the Bureau of Religions used to belong to the National Warrior's Mansion, and the Seventeenth Department was responsible for hosting the Warriors' Assembly in the past. The Bureau of Religions had never participated in it, but after the Bureau of Religions was transferred to the Yulin Guard this year, it took part in it. The meaning of this was quite thought-provoking.
"Is this a sign that they want to weaken the power of the National Warrior's Mansion? "It seems that the contradiction between the National Warrior's Mansion and the Yulin Guard has begun to be completely triggered," Ding Ning thought thoughtfully.
Murong Yanran saw that Ding Ning did not say a word after getting in the car and looked worried, so she thought he was worried about the safety of Night Lone Ranger. She wanted to comfort him, but she did not know what to say.
Murong Yixiao was responsible for driving the car. He wanted to chat with Ding Ning, but when he saw that Ding Ning was not in a good mood, he shut his mouth sensibly. The atmosphere in the car became a little dull. At this moment, Ding Ning suddenly said, "Stop the car!"
"Screech!"
Hearing that, Murong Yixiao braked abruptly on the roadside, looked at the rearview mirror in confusion, and asked, "Brother-in-law, what's wrong?"
"Oh, nothing. I'm picking someone up."
Ding Ning opened the window and waved to Qingyun, who was waiting on the roadside. "Here."
"Is she also your girlfriend?"
Murong Yanran looked at Qingyun, who had a slim figure and whose face was covered with a veil, and asked with a strange expression.
"Uh, no, she's my friend."
Ding Ning did not intend to introduce Qingyun in detail. After all, her identity was Chi Yang's apprentice, so it was a little complicated to describe her.
"This is my elder sister, Murong Yanran. This is her younger brother, Murong Yixiao. This is my friend, Chu Qingyun."
After Qingyun got in the car, Ding Ning introduced them to her.
"Hello!"
Qingyun had been following the Great Ancestor of the Crane Tribe. When Ding Ning took back the Great Ancestor of the Crane Tribe, he asked her to wait on the roadside. So, she had long known the identity of the Murong siblings and did not show any surprise. Instead, she nodded and greeted them generously.
"Hello!"
The Murong siblings greeted him politely, but there was a clear hint of alienation in their attitudes.
Qingyun did not care about it. She looked at Ding Ning naturally and asked, "Where are we going now?"
"To attend the Warriors' Assembly."
Ding Ning rubbed his temples and said with a tired face.
His spirit was injured, so his physical body was fine, but his spirit was extremely tired. He had not closed his eyes since last night. At this moment, his eyelids were heavy, and he fell asleep leaning on the car seat.
Looking at his tired look, Murong Yanran and Qingyun both had an imperceptible trace of heartache in their eyes. But they kept silent tacitly.
From the rearview mirror, Murong Yixiao saw that his elder sister and Qingyun were silent and cautious, and he sighed in his heart. "Brother-in-law is good at everything, except that he is a little too fickle."
After a long time, Ding Ning felt the car slowed down. He opened his eyes in a daze, patted his face, and forced himself to ask, "Yixiao, have we arrived?"
"We are almost there. The car in front can't go any further. We have to take a boat. Get off the car."
Murong Yixiao slowly parked the car in a parking lot beside a lake.
Someone from the Murong Family had come to greet him respectfully and called him young master. Then, he took the car key and parked the car for Murong Yixiao.
Looking at the vast blue waves of the lake among the mountains, which was as gentle and poetic as a quiet woman in the south of the Yangtze River, Ding Ning's eyes brightened involuntarily and he praised, "The scenery is picturesque and beautiful. It's really a good place."
"Yes, what a beautiful lake."
Qingyun also praised sincerely.
"Hehe, it's nothing. The beauty is in the back."
Murong Yixiao had long been immune to the scenery here. While leading the way to the boat by the lake, he said with some complacency.
Obviously, Murong Yanran was also very familiar with this place. With a trace of nostalgia in her eyes, she introduced with a smile, "This place belongs to the Ancient Heng Mountains. The lake in front of us is called Quiet Moon Lake, which belongs to a tributary of Taihu Lake and is the private territory of the Murong Family. The scenery in the periphery can only be regarded as ordinary. What is really beautiful is the 12 Dock Chains inside, and Swallow Dock is one of them. However, we came here in the wrong season.
"12 Dock Chains? Is it the 12 Dock Chains mentioned in Chu Liuxiang's novel? "
Ding Ning joked, but he was secretly shocked. The foundation of the millennium families was really unfathomable. They could even occupy such a large mountain range and lake as their private property. No wonder Murong Junlin was called Murong Bancheng.
"Of course not. The 12 Dock Chains here are naturally formed docks around the waterway of the Hengshan Mountains and entering Taihu Lake. In ancient times, when fishermen entered Taihu Lake to fish, they would temporarily rest or repair their boats in these docks. Later, when they were bought by the Murong Family, they transformed the 12 Dock Chains into a private summer resort. Every midsummer, the senior members of the Murong Family would live here for a period of time to avoid the heat."
Murong Yixiao jumped into a boat with ease. After Ding Ning and the other two got on, he waved to the boatman in a bamboo hat and said, "Go to Swallow Dock."
"Yes, young master!"
The boatman answered respectfully, nodded to Murong Yanran with a smile, and rowed the boat gently. Then, the boat rowed to the depths of the lake like an arrow leaving the bowstring.
Layers of ripples appeared on the surface of the lake. When the breeze blew, the blue water rippled, making people feel relaxed and refreshed.
Ding Ning looked at the boatman in surprise. He had thought that the boatman was just an ordinary servant of the Murong Family, but he did not expect that the boatman was a martial artist. The boatman's ability to control the boat was extraordinary, and the boat was as steady as if it was on the ground.
Although the boatman's strength was not high, his cultivation was close to the Xuan Wu Realm. The millennium families had a deep foundation, and they really deserved their reputation.
The lake and the waterway were formed around the mountains, and the several docks they passed along the way were all built in the style of white walls and black tiles, showing the gentleness and grace of the water town in the south of the Yangtze River. Compared with the magnificent sea on Paradise Island, it had its own style.
It had a totally different charm.
They arrived at the Swallow Dock. Beside the simple dock, there were hundreds of boats specially used to pick up and drop off people. On each boat, there was a servant of the Murong Family who acted as the boatman. On the shore, there were also dozens of dignified men who were responsible for registering the identities of people entering the dock.
According to Murong Yixiao, these men who were responsible for registering identities were made up of people from the Seventeenth Department, the Bureau of Religions, and the Murong Family, and their purpose was to prevent ordinary people from entering the dock by mistake.
As the director of the Seventeenth Department of Ninghai, although Ding Ning did not know all of his subordinates, the staff of the Seventeenth Department who were specially arranged by Zhang Heping to wait for him knew him. After everyone went ashore, a staff of the Seventeenth Department immediately came up and said respectfully, "Director Ding, you are finally here. We were just waiting for you."
As soon as the words came out, everyone's eyes fell on Ding Ning. The people of the Murong Family were a little better, but the people of the Seventeenth Department and the Bureau of Religions already had suspicion in their eyes.
They all knew that the Seventeenth Department of Ninghai had just changed to a young director some time ago, and he was so mysterious that most people could not see his real face.
They knew that the new director was young, but the Ding Ning in front of them was a little too young. After all, the state affairs were different from the ancient martial arts. It depended on the polishing and training day after day, year after year. A director who could become a director at the age of 37 or 38 was absolutely young.
Murong Yanran, her brother, and Qingyun were also dumbfounded. Wasn't Ding Ning a doctor with excellent medical skills? How could he become the director of the Seventeenth Department? Did this person mistake him for someone else?
