Hearing this, Ding Ning was silent, and he felt very uncomfortable.
He could empathize with his mother's despair at that time. Born in a powerful family like the Su Family, her marriage and fate had long been doomed. Within three years, even if his father could be promoted to Lieutenant General, it was impossible for him to enter the Su Family's eyes.
Even if his father was born in a powerful family, the Su Family would never agree to this marriage if the marriage could not bring enough benefits to the Su Family, let alone his father who had no backer and no background.
What was more, his mother was engaged to Zhao Tianya at that time. The Zhao Family was an insurmountable mountain between them.
He believed that if his mother had not accidentally become pregnant with him, she would not have the courage to bear the rumors and bravely fight against fate.
Everything was because of his appearance that made his mother pluck up the courage to choose a difficult road that was destined to be condemned by thousands of people and bear infinite pressure with her greatest maternal love.
"Now that I think about it, my promise at that time was just a big joke …"
Ding Lie's expression was very complicated. With a little self-mockery and frustration, he continued to murmur.
Although the Zhao Family was not the head of the aristocratic families at that time, it had many talents and was also one of the most powerful families in Yan Jing at that time.
At that time, the Su Family also went downhill because of the old master's illness and was about to fall out of the ranks of aristocratic families. The marriage with the Zhao Family was an important move that could save the decline of the Su Family.
Zhao Tianya, the Qilin son of the Zhao Family, was known as the first handsome man in Yan Jing and was also very talented. He was very compatible with Su Ningxiang, and they were known as a golden boy and a jade girl, a match made in heaven.
But all this was completely changed because of the appearance of his father. Zhao Tianya was an extremely proud and conceited person. After learning that he had been cuckolded, he suddenly flew into a rage and immediately took revenge.
Although the Zhao Family was not the head of the aristocratic families at that time, it had extremely terrifying connections and power. Soon, a series of attack plans against Ding Lie began to be implemented.
As a member of Dragon Teeth, Ding Lie had always carried out the most dangerous tasks. With the power of the Zhao Family, it was very easy to get rid of a person in this aspect.
It was just that they had all underestimated Ding Lie's strength. He had completed several missions that would have resulted in certain death. Not only did he not die, but he also continued to accumulate battle merits, which became the capital for his advancement.
However, all the sturdy fortresses were conquered from the inside. Ding Lie had put up a lot of defenses, but it was hard to guard against a thief from within. In the end, he still failed to defend against the Grim Reaper, whom he regarded as his brother and whom he had taught everything he had.
Due to the betrayal of the God of Death, the information of the mission was leaked. Dragon Fang and the others were ambushed and twenty-five of them died on the spot. Only Ding Lie, the Headmaster, the Hunter, and the God of Fortune survived and were saved by Sister Qiao.
Ding Lie was in a lot of pain and self-blame. If he hadn't trusted Death too much, those 25 brothers wouldn't have been sacrificed. In his rage, he brazenly violated military discipline. Without the approval of his superiors, he crossed the border to hunt down the mercenaries who had ambushed them and massacred the village where the mercenaries were hiding. Someone caught him and framed him for killing the innocent, not even sparing the old, the weak, the women, and the children. Because of this, he was sent to the military court.
In fact, that village was a den of thieves. Even the children were specially trained killers. His father was seriously injured by the children because of a moment of carelessness, and he killed them in order to protect himself.
However, he could always find a way to pin a crime on someone. This series of conspiracies was originally aimed at him, and he was the only one present at that time. There was no witness at all. Even if he had eight mouths, he wouldn't be able to explain himself.
What happened after that was simple. Ding Lie, who was in prison, pinned all his hopes on the Dragon King. He firmly believed that the Dragon King would definitely help him and find a way to prove his innocence.
Unexpectedly, the Dragon King didn't come. Instead, the guard Wang Qiwu, who held the Dragon King's token, came. He angrily rebuked him for his misdeeds, which deeply disappointed the Dragon King.
Taking advantage of Ding Lie's disbelief and absent-mindedness, Wang Qiwu suddenly killed Ding Lie. He destroyed Ding Lie's Dantian with one palm and even said that it was the Dragon King's idea.
Ding Lie was completely disheartened and fell into decadence. Wang Qiwu took the opportunity to kill him, but unexpectedly, a crazy old man appeared out of nowhere and slapped him away.
"Wait, what did you say? Crazy old man? "
Ding Ning interrupted his father and asked in shock. As soon as the crazy old man was mentioned, he subconsciously thought of his grandfather.
But then he felt that something was wrong. When his grandfather and grandmother recognized each other, they obviously didn't know that they had a son. How could they run to save his father at the critical moment?
"Yes, a crazy old man."
For the first time, Ding Lie's eyes showed a trace of awe and he said emotionally, "I thought that my sabersmanship was already the best in this world, but compared with that crazy old man, it's like a firefly competing with the bright moon. His saber intent has reached a level that I dare not imagine. If he hadn't left a wisp of saber intent in my Dantian, I wouldn't have formed the Saber Elixir by chance and have the combat power I have now."
"Saber … Saber Elixir?"
Ding Ning opened his mouth wide in shock. His face was full of an expression as if he had seen a ghost. He could not wait to grab his father's wrist and use Absolute Touch to feel his Dantian.
With a "puff" sound, Ding Ning spat out a mouthful of blood. His face was pale and bloodless. Everyone was so shocked that they surrounded him and asked about his well-being with concern, especially Diba. His eyes were full of tears, and he was extremely distressed.
"Child, how could you be so rash? Because it is not my saber intent, I did not refine it. When it encountered an external force, that wisp of saber intent would attack on its own. Even I could not control it."
Ding Lie complained worriedly. At the same time, he also tried to explain.
"I'm fine."
Ding Ning wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, but he kept smiling foolishly. This made Diba think that he had lost his mind, and he was even more worried.
Saber Elixir, that was the legendary Saber Elixir.
Although Xiao Chen's Dantian was destroyed, it was a blessing in disguise. He used a wisp of saber intent to create a Saber Elixir, using saber intent to replace the Dantian. No wonder Xiao Chen's cultivation realm was unknown, but his strength was heaven-defying. It was all because of this Saber Elixir.
In fact, this Saber Elixir had been recorded in ancient books. In ancient times, a saber artist had suggested using saber intent to create the Dantian. Instead of absorbing the Spiritual Energy of Heaven and Earth to increase one's cultivation, one could only comprehend saber intent to increase one's strength.
In other words, placing one's love on the saber and using the saber as the soul, one could walk a path of pure saber artist that no one had ever walked before.
However, that kind of thinking only existed in theory. It was almost impossible to turn it into reality. This was because not only did it require an immortal saber intent as a guide, but it also required great perseverance and a firm heart for the Saber Path. In addition, there was a chance of forming a Saber Elixir by chance.
The difficulty of this could be imagined. Not to mention extraordinary perseverance and a firm heart for the Dao, as well as the illusory opportunity, just the immortal saber intent alone would basically cut off the possibility of forming a Saber Elixir.
This was because only the Immortal Heavenly Venerate could condense immortality. Not to mention the Immortal Heavenly Venerate, it was unknown whether there was an Immortal Heavenly Emperor in the Three Realms.
Therefore, Ding Ning was certain that the only person who could leave saber intent in his father's Dantian was his crazy grandfather, whose strength fluctuated between high and low, but whose strength was unfathomable.
Although his grandfather did not know that his father was his son at that time, with his unfathomable cultivation base, he must have sensed something. That was why he appeared in time to save his father and leave behind the saber intent.
Of course, with his muddled mind, perhaps he didn't even know what he was doing. Everything he did was based on his instincts.
This thought made him both excited and shocked. He only knew that his grandfather was very strong when he went crazy. Just a wisp of Qi that he accidentally leaked could kill him without a burial place. However, he had no way of guessing what realm his grandfather's strength had reached.
But now, he was sure that his grandfather's strength was at least at the level of the Immortal Heavenly Venerate. Otherwise, he would not be able to condense the immortal saber intent.
He actually had an Immortal Heavenly Venerate grandfather. Just thinking about it made him tremble with excitement.
Damn it, if he was not careful, he would become the second generation of an immortal. Wouldn't he be able to do whatever he wanted in the Three Realms?
Human Emperor, Ming Di, Immortal Emperor, if they dared to talk to him again, he would immediately get his grandfather to wipe them out. He was the second generation of an immortal.
Just like a poor boy who suddenly found out that he was actually a prince lost by the emperor among the people, Ding Ning felt very happy. He smiled widely and was very proud of himself.
He suddenly understood why the children of the rich and powerful were so arrogant and insufferably arrogant. The feeling of having a strong backing — it really felt f * cking good.
Ring ring ring!
The urgent ringtone of the phone rang. Everyone looked at each other and finally realized it was Ding Lie's call.
"Hello!"
Ding Lie frowned slightly and answered the call.
Everyone present was a martial artist and had extraordinary hearing. However, out of politeness, no one tried to eavesdrop. Instead, they deliberately shut off their hearing.
Only Ding Ning did not shut off his hearing. Instead, his ears stood up high. The faint voice coming from the phone made him immediately determine that it was Money God's call.
However, Money God's tone was very solemn, giving Ding Ning a very bad feeling.
Sure enough, as Money God spoke, Ding Lie's expression became more and more unsightly. His brows furrowed into a big knot.
"I understand. I'll tell you in detail when we meet."
The corners of Ding Lie's eyes were twitching, but he forcibly suppressed the irritation and worry in his heart and spoke as calmly as possible.
After hanging up the phone, although Ding Lie tried his best to maintain a nonchalant appearance, his slightly trembling body and the unerasable worry between his brows were enough to show how disturbed he was in his heart.
Ding Ning was silent. He clearly heard the contents of the call, but he did not know what to say.
Fifty-two of his father's comrades had not only stolen a large number of arms but had also planned to fly a military military fighter jet to America to rescue his father. Although they had been stopped by Long Jiao in time, they had also been caught. Not only had Long Jiao been suspended from duty, but he had also been sent to the military court for trial.
The worst thing was that those fifty-two comrades had not escaped this disaster. All of them had been arrested and were awaiting the next step of interrogation and conviction.
Although he felt that his father's comrades were very brainless, their strong comradeship moved Ding Ning deeply.
However, a country had its laws, and a family had its rules. Although their actions had not caused any serious consequences, the fact that the arsenal had been robbed had become an established fact. They had violated military discipline and national laws. Even he felt powerless to do anything about it, let alone his father.
Looking at his father lighting a cigarette and smoking silently, Ding Ning felt a pang of pain in his heart as if he had aged dozens of years in an instant.
Who would have thought that at the critical moment when his father was about to clear his name, such a thing would happen? This was tantamount to him climbing up from hell to heaven, only to be kicked back into the abyss with a heavy kick.
His brain worked rapidly, thinking hard about whether there was a good solution, but no matter how he thought, there was only one answer — there was no solution.
