"You little naughty kid, if you don't learn from good things every day, you will be bad at learning!" Ning Cheng knocked on little Zhong Ling's head.

"Hurry up and eat, we have to go to school later!"

"oh."

Little Zhong Ling nodded and ate the porridge quietly.

"Brother Ning Cheng, give me another bowl."

After finishing a bowl, little Zhong Ling felt that she was still unsatisfied.

"good."

Ning Cheng took Xiao Zhong Ling's bowl and helped her make porridge.

"Brother Xiao Fang, you must pay close attention to some things. A person as outstanding as Teacher Lin is pursued by many people." Xiao Zhong Ling said.

"Forehead."

Ning Cheng placed the porridge in front of little Zhong Ling, "Eat it quickly, it won't stop your mouth!"

"whee."

Little Zhong Ling stuck out her tongue and started eating.

As the saying goes, children's words have no restraint.

But Bei Xiaofang and Lin Jing looked at each other.

Lin Jing's eyes were filled with anticipation and nervousness.

Bei Xiaofang's eyes were full of love.

"Yes, Ning Cheng, I want it too." Xiaoxia also handed the bowl to Ning Cheng.

"good."

Ning Cheng helped Xiao Xia fill a bowl.

"Hey, you are torturing a single dog. I want to turn my grief and anger into food! Boss, I also...forget it, I will do it myself."

Xiaodong stood up in a hurry.

After the meal, everyone was busy with their own business, and everyone had his own life.

Ning Cheng was washing dishes in the kitchen when Xiaoxia walked in and said, "Ning Cheng, have you packed up? I have something to do and I have to go out!"

"When will you go out and report to me?" Ning Cheng asked.

"Oh, well, I originally wanted to tell you some news about the ancient weapons auction, but since you have said so now, let's forget it."

Xiaoxia pouted and walked out of the kitchen.

Ning Cheng immediately washed the last bowl and shook his hands.

"Wait, Xiaoxia, I was wrong!"

"Really? Why can't I see any sincerity on your part?" Xiaoxia glanced at Ning Cheng and said.

Ning Cheng gritted his teeth and said, "At worst, next time you want to go shopping, I will help you carry your things!"

"Tch, that's pretty much it. Okay, I won't tease you anymore." Xiao Xia said.

"The sponsors of this ancient martial arts auction this time are the four major ancient martial arts families. As usual, they hold it almost every year." Xiaoxia said.

"The four major families? The Cao family, the Li family, and others?" Ning Cheng asked.

"right."

"Then this is really a strange habit. The Cao and Li families have been at odds with each other for a long time, and they even cooperated to hold an ancient weapons auction."

Xiaoxia sighed and said, "Do you think the four major Guwu families only show their strength? Nowadays these things are basically trivial. As long as they don't really touch the interests of the families above, they generally won't intervene.

of."

"Those families above? Is it possible that there are more powerful families above the four ancient martial arts families?" Ning Cheng asked.

"Otherwise, do you think that the four major ancient martial arts families can maintain their dominant position in the ancient martial arts world?" Xiaoxia glared at Ning Cheng and immediately explained: "Now these four families are actually just a branch! What you see

The Cao family that arrived is just the tip of the iceberg, the real power of the Cao family is no longer in the imperial capital."

Ning Cheng frowned, and then said, "Are you saying that the four major ancient martial arts families are just branches now, and the real behemoths are hiding behind them?"

"Yes." Xiaoxia nodded.

"But why is this like this? The Cao family has been provoked by the Li family in various ways over the years. Is it possible that the Cao family behind the scenes doesn't care about this kind of thing?" Ning Cheng asked.

"Do you know why the real Guwu family is not in the imperial capital, and can even be said to have been completely hidden?" Xiaoxia asked.

"I don't know." Ning Cheng shook his head.

"Because they are too powerful, beyond the understanding of modern people! If a family like this is allowed to come out, some rules of modern society will change. Therefore, the four major ancient martial arts families have unanimously formulated certain rules.

A branch was supported in the imperial capital, while the real family gradually faded out of people's sight."

"So, the current Cao family is just a puppet to the forces behind him. If it is really destroyed by the Li family, the Cao family can at most support another branch. This is too simple for them

Already." Xiaoxia said.

Ning Cheng fell silent. What he had experienced during this period had caused great changes in his character.

With the appearance of Dongfang Shun, Ning Cheng realized that his own strength was nothing compared to a true master.

Because of the appearance of the dark group, Ning Cheng knew that there are always people outside the world, and there is always a sky outside the world!

So Ning Cheng was not shocked when he heard what Xiao Xia said today!

Instead, he secretly made up his mind to become that strong one day!

"So, this time the ancient martial arts auction is jointly organized by the four major ancient martial arts families?" Ning Cheng asked.

"You finally figured it out." Xiaoxia smiled and said, "This is to prepare for the Guwu family competition in the near future."

"The Guwu family competition was also held by them?"

"right."

Xiaoxia nodded and said, "It is held almost every year. Families from the entire ancient martial arts world will basically come. The younger generation within the family will compete, and the elites will be selected to join the real ancient martial arts family!"

Ning Cheng nodded, he finally understood why the Cao family was so happy after Cao Shuang entered the innate realm.

It turns out that the root of everything is here!

"So, now I have to go out to buy two tickets for the auction. I won't be back for dinner at noon. You just prepare dinner obediently and wait for my triumphant return. Do you understand?" Xiaoxia asked.

"Yes, I understand." Ning Cheng nodded and said immediately, "Xiaoxia, thank you."

"Uh, I'm so touched." Xiaoxia stuck out her tongue and said, "This is all because I invested in you, do you understand?"

Ning Cheng seemed to understand, because that was what Xiaoxia said when he first met her.

Seemingly seeing Ning Cheng's expression, Xiao Xia shook her head and said, "You will know later, okay, I am going out."

...

Looking at Xiao Xia's leaving figure, Ning Cheng smiled and shook his head. He thought about how he was going to go out as well.

After all, he has disappeared for so many days, and I don’t know how the sales of the elixir are doing now.

"I wonder if the real Li family will send a high-level alchemist to grab business?" Ning Cheng said to himself.

He did not expect that his casual words would actually come true!

When Ning Cheng got through Qian Wansan's phone, it was Qian Duoduo who answered the call!

"Mr. Ning, it's you." Over there, Qian Duoduo said with a wry smile.

"Why are you? Where is your father?" Ning Cheng asked.

"My dad..." Qian Duoduo hesitated and then said, "He is in the hospital."

"Hospital?"
