"Young Master, Master and Madam are here."
Just as Ding Ning was gradually getting into a good mood, Lang Kui's report from a long distance made him have to stop at the precipice. Looking at Murong Yanran and Feng Pianwu's complacent expressions with a gloomy face, he rolled his eyes speechlessly.
He had no choice. If it were other people, he could completely ignore them, but since his father and mother were here, he dared not avoid them no matter how brave he was.
Tidying up his messy clothes, he walked out of the door calmly and quickly under the mischievous eyes of the two women.
"Dad, Mom, you are here."
Seeing his father and mother come together under the escort of Lang Kui and others, Ding Ning quickly greeted them and took his mother's arm with a cheeky smile, which made Su Ningxiang beam with joy.
"Well, Ning 'er, I have something to tell you."
His father's face was cold, but his tone was extremely gentle. After all, his son had grown up and was the head of a sect. In front of Lang Kui and others, he had to save some face for him.
Murong Yanran and Feng Pianwu were a little nervous and hurriedly bowed to greet their parents. It had to be said that Ding Lie was always serious. Although it was only his nature, as the head of the Shura Mercenary Troop, he had long developed a dignified manner, which made his daughters-in-law feel awe from the bottom of their hearts when they saw him.
It could be said that among so many daughters-in-law, except for Xiao Nuo who was not afraid of him and could talk and laugh with him, even Ding Qianlie was scared and avoided him as much as possible.
For the first time, Ding Lie revealed a smile and nodded slightly at them. The two girls were immediately overwhelmed by the favor and stood there in a daze. They even wondered if their eyes were playing tricks on them.
His mother was extremely wise. How could she not see that the two girls were not used to it? She could not help but pinch Ding Lie's waist in amusement and rebuke, "Look at you. You always have a bitter and hateful face. Even your daughter-in-law is scared by you."
As the saying goes, everything has its vanquisher. Su Ningxiang was Ding Lie's destined nemesis. She grimaced after being pinched by her, but she could only smile apologetically and said embarrassedly, "I will pay attention in the future."
On the side, Ding Ning covered her mouth and snickered. After being glared at by his father, she immediately became well-behaved. Withdrawing her smile, she said seriously, "Father, Qianlie has already gone to bed. Let's go to the study to talk."
"Alright, that …"
Ding Lie agreed readily and pointed at Murong Yanran and Feng Pianwu. After thinking for a long time, he said, "Yanran and Pianwu, right? You can come together."
The two women looked at each other. They couldn't figure out why their father-in-law had called them over to discuss business with her husband. But he didn't dare to disobey, so he quickly nodded and agreed. His heart was perturbed as he followed behind Su Ningxiang.
Compared to a strict father-in-law, a kind and beautiful mother-in-law could make them feel at ease.
Su Ningxiang deserved to be the most talented woman in Yan Jing in the past. Not only was she talented, but she also had a high EQ. How could she not see the two women's nervousness? She held the two women's hands with a smile and soon made them relax while talking and laughing.
When they entered the study, the two women very sensibly went to serve tea. They were so careful that they looked like maids, which made Ding Ning laugh, but his heart was filled with deep pride and gratitude.
Not to mention that Murong Yanran was the young lady of the Murong family, Feng Pianwu's identity as one of the ancestors of the Feng family meant that they were destined to be served tea by others.
But now, they loved the house and its crow, and they lowered themselves to serve tea for their father-in-law and mother-in-law. To be honest, even he himself had never enjoyed such treatment.
"Thank you!"
Ding Lie took the tea and thanked them politely. When he saw the two women standing behind Ding Ning uneasily and not daring to sit down, he pointed at the seat next to Ding Ning in what he thought was a friendly manner. "Sit."
Now, the two women were even more flattered. They waved their hands repeatedly and said in unison, "We are not tired. We can just stand."
"Sit. There are no outsiders here."
When Ding Ning saw that they were sitting on his left and right, he shook his head with a wry smile and pulled them to sit down. Only then did they sit down as if they were waiting to be lectured by their leaders, but they only leaned against the chair with half of their buttocks, looking as if they were afraid.
Seeing this, Su Ningxiang was speechless and touched her forehead. She could not say anything to her daughter-in-law, so she could only glare at Ding Lie fiercely and pinch his waist three times to the left and three times to the right. "Look at your sullen face all day long. You have scared your daughter-in-law so much."
The corners of Ding Lie's mouth twitched, and his slightly dark face was distorted. He was not mocked, but it was really painful to be pinched at the waist. But in front of his son and daughter-in-law, he, as an elder, did not care about his face anymore. Even if it hurt so much that he was about to cry, he could only bite the bullet and bear it.
"Okay, mom, don't blame dad. He didn't want to do this. Since I can remember, dad rarely smiles."
As soon as Ding Ning opened his mouth, Ding Lie immediately felt gratified. His son loved his father dearly, but what his filial son said next made him so angry that he wanted to destroy this bastard.
"He only smiles when he sees the beautiful lady in the slaughterhouse. Alas, mom, you don't know how much I envy that beautiful lady. At that time, I thought how nice it would be if I were the beautiful lady, so that dad could smile at me often."
Ding Ning sighed with a face full of nostalgia, but there was a wicked smile in his eyes.
"Beautiful lady? Why didn't you tell me that there is a beautiful lady in the slaughterhouse? Why do you smile at her every time you see her? "
Su Ningxiang instantly looked like a hedgehog with its thorns exploding. She raised her willowy eyebrows and stared at Ding Lie fiercely. She put her hands on his waist again and pinched …
Ding Lie wanted to cry but had no tears. His old face turned red, and he waved his hands repeatedly to explain, "No, don't listen to his nonsense. There is no beautiful lady. This little bastard is deliberately stirring up trouble. Don't you know me?"
"Humph! You may know a person's face but not his heart. It's hard to draw a tiger's bones just by drawing its skin. How do I know what kind of person you are? "
Su Ningxiang snorted coldly. She crossed her arms and turned her head to ignore him. However, from an angle that he couldn't see, she kept winking at her precious son. She didn't look jealous at all.
How could she not know her husband's temper? To say the least, no matter how beautiful the beautiful lady in the slaughterhouse was, could she be mentioned in the same breath as her, the first beauty of Andu?
Therefore, she didn't believe Ding Ning's nonsense at all. But as the saying goes, no one knows a son better than his mother. She immediately realized Ding Ning's intention of deliberately stirring up trouble, and cooperated with him to put on a show of jealousy.
Ding Ning secretly gave a thumbs up to his mother's acting skills. Looking at Yanran and Pianwu who wanted to laugh but were too embarrassed to do so, he felt complacent in his heart.
"I really didn't have any beautiful lady, I swear to God …"
Ding Lie hadn't realized that he had been fooled by his son and wife together. He was so anxious that he was about to swear to God, but Su Ningxiang interrupted him with a snort while holding back her laughter. "I'll give you face in front of my son and daughter-in-law. Let's not talk about this now. You can explain it to me when we go back tonight."
"I really didn't …"
Ding Lie still wanted to explain with a bitter face, but his wife glared at him and he immediately shut his mouth like a withered eggplant.
"Father, what did you come to me to talk about?"
Ding Ning cooperated with his mother and acted tacitly in order to let Yanran and Pian Wu see that her father-in-law still had another side of him that was just like an ordinary person, and there was nothing to be afraid of, so as to reduce their nervousness and fear. Now he had achieved his goal. Seeing that his father was glaring at him as if he was going to eat him, he quickly changed the topic cleverly.
Speaking of business, Ding Lie immediately forgot what had happened before, and his expression became serious. "Today's auction was very successful."
Ding Ning was dumbfounded. "What's going on? Is my father going to make an auction speech? Did he specially come to me to talk about the success of the auction? "
"During the auction, I was in the crowd and heard a lot of people talking about it."
Ding Ning ignored his rich expression and continued to talk according to his own thoughts. "They talked about the elixirs of Tianze Sect, the tactical deployment of Tianze Sect, the strength of your sect master, what kind of cultivation method you practice, and why you can reach your current achievements in less than a year. Some people even declared that Tianze Sect is the top sect in the secular world …"
Ding Ning's face became solemn. His father was never a person who spoke without thinking. Since he specially came to talk to him about this, it seemed that there should be a lot of people talking about it.
"The tallest tree in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. Although it is a good thing that Tianze Sect is established, it also means that you have now been pushed to the teeth of the storm."
Ding Lie said faintly, and a hint of worry flashed in his eyes. "Whether it is the divine-level tactical deployment, elixirs, or spiritual weapons, including the so-called divine-level cultivation method that can make you become a demigod in less than a year, it will become a crime because of your wealth. After all, a man who is never content is like a snake trying to swallow an elephant …"
"Father, I know. Don't worry. Since I dare to establish a sect and hold an auction in public, I naturally have absolute confidence so that no one dares to act rashly."
Ding Ning knew what his father was worried about, and he immediately said confidently.
However, Ding Lie took a deep look at him, shook his head, and sighed. "I know that you are very powerful now, and even powerful to the point that you are not afraid of anything. But have you ever thought about what if you leave Earth?"
"Leave Earth?"
Su Ningxiang was the first to look at her son in shock. Although she knew that her son was very powerful and stood at the peak of the martial arts world, leaving Earth was too unimaginable for her.
Ding Ning fell silent. His mother did not know that he was going to participate in the Battle of Providence, but his father did.
At first, he felt that his father was making a mountain out of a molehill and worrying too much, but at this moment, he suddenly realized that his father's worries were very reasonable.
The Tianze Sect had exposed too many things that made people jealous. He might not care about those Sacred Sects, Ancient Martial Arts Families, and even the major martial arts forces.
But what about the hidden forces? Putting aside how many divine-level masters there were in these hidden forces, just the fake Human Emperor alone was enough to make him feel exhausted.
Previously, he had fought with the fake Human Emperor after changing his appearance. Although the fake Human Emperor did not have enough combat experience, he definitely crushed him in terms of raw strength.
To put it bluntly, if he went all out and used all his trump cards, he might be able to escape from the fake Human Emperor, but it was impossible for him to defeat or even kill the fake Human Emperor.
It was fine when he was around. At least, he could barely compete with the fake Human Emperor. Together with the power of the Divine Formation, it was not a problem for him to protect the Tianze Sect.
But what if he left Earth to participate in the Battle of Providence? Who could compete with the fake Human Emperor? Moreover, there were so many hidden forces eyeing the Tianze Sect covetously. When he was not around, who could protect the Tianze Sect?
His grandfather had the strength to do so, but he was sometimes sober and sometimes crazy. No one could guarantee that he would not suddenly go crazy at a critical moment. Therefore, he absolutely could not pin his hopes on him.
Crane Ancestor? His cultivation realm was not as good as the fake Human Emperor's. Coupled with the shackles of heaven and earth, he could not use the strength of the Divine Transformation Realm. If he fought against the fake Human Emperor, he would only die.
A formation? That was possible, but the problem was that whether it was his woman, his subordinates, or his brothers, they all had their own things to do. He could not let them stay at home under the protection of the formation, could he?
