27 The nature of the demon clan

After breakfast, we packed up and stopped, we returned to the living room and made a pot of tea.

At this time, my phone rang.

I picked it up and saw that it was a text message sent by the bank. Ning Li transferred 270 million to my account.

Immediately afterwards, Keer also received 25 million.

Ke'er was stunned and looked at me, "Young Master, Ning Li is this..."

Xiaojun, An Yu and Gao Ying all looked at me, and no one said anything.

I thought about it and called Chu Linglong.

The phone was connected soon.

"Master..." Chu Linglong was panting and struggling, and there was still wind around.

"Linglong, are you on the sea?" I asked.

"Yes," Chu Linglong said, "I've brought Ning Li up there."

"Give the phone number to Ning Li," I said.

"Okay", Chu Linglong handed the phone to Ning Li, "Master talks to you..."

Ning Li took it, "Master..." Her voice became weaker and weak.

"What are you doing for money?" I asked.

"Master, Ning Li is your slave, everything in the Ning family is yours," she said with difficulty, "But the rules of the Wu family cannot be destroyed by the Ning family... Before, the Chu family, He family, Chen family, Ji family and Su family asked you to do secret talismans, and they were all offered blessings. The Ning family's affairs are the most serious, and we must not be ignorant..."

I didn't say anything, picked up the tea and took a sip.

"Master, don't be angry..." Ning Li gasped for a while and said, "Ning family... Ning family members, Ning family wealth, are all yours... I did this just to be like them... Wu family rules cannot be broken... Master..."

"I'm not angry," I said lightly, "Ning Li, you are very sensible."

Ning Li then breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you, Master..."

"Give the phone to Linglong", I told her.

"Okay", she handed the phone to Chu Linglong.

Chu Linglong took it, "Master..."

"How long can your supernatural powers last?" I asked.

"I can't hold on for long," she said powerlessly, "I can't hold on anymore..."

"Go back immediately and keep the Demon Bones Secret Talisman", I looked at my watch, "After noon, Ke'er and I will go there."

"Yeah, thank you, Master..."

I hung up the phone, put down my phone, and looked at Xiaojun and the others, "Ning Li said that other demon clans have offered blessings for their secret talismans, and the Ning family is no exception. So, she took her own initiative and turned it over to us, and said that I should not be angry, and the rules of the Wu family cannot be destroyed by the Ning family."

Xiaojun smiled knowingly, "This girl is very sensible."

"Yes," An Yu also said, "The five demon clans are now slaves to Brother Wu Zheng. At this time, it is rare for her to think of this rule..."

Gao Ying didn't understand these things and couldn't get into the conversation, so she just listened quietly and didn't express her opinions.

Ke'er thought about it and asked me in confusion, "Young Master, is this a breaking of the rules by the master to save the slave?"

"Not counting", I took a sip of tea and put down the cup, "But Ning Li did the right thing."

"What do you mean?" she asked.

I looked at her, "They verbally said they were my slaves, but they were not. Only after the sacrifice was completed and I took back the demon bone secret talisman would they truly become my slaves. So before this, the rules of the Wu family were indeed unbreakable."

Keer doesn't quite understand.

"The relationship between the master and the slave is definitely not just a word of verbal recognition," Xiaojun explained to her, "In ancient times, the princes surrendered to the emperor, the emperor was the lord, and the princes were the ministers. The ministers had to contribute offerings first, and the emperor then rewarded them later. Only in this way can the rituals of the monarch and the ministers become Wu Zheng's slaves, they must first make sacrifices. Only after the sacrifice can they be considered real slaves. The king and the minister also have contributions and rewards, but slaves are different. For slaves, everything the master gives, regardless of reward or punishment, is a gift."

"So that's what it is..." Ke'er understood.

"That means that the five major demon clans will be like Wu Zheng's slaves in the future?" Gao Ying couldn't help but ask, "In modern society, can this still be like this?"

As soon as these words came out, all three girls looked at her.

Gao Ying suddenly felt abrupt, "Did I... say it wrong?"

Xiaojun smiled slightly and held her hand, "Tribute, monarch and minister, master and servant, no matter what society, they exist, but the surface situation is different. Furthermore, the five major demon clans are monsters after all. For the demon clan, it is their nature to rely on powerful masters and sacrifice themselves in exchange for shelter. Wu Zheng is cruel and harsh to them, and they will obey; on the contrary, if Wu Zheng uses modern social thoughts and respects them, they will forget their identity and behave out of line..."

"For example, Su Jing", An Yu took it, "Brother Wu Zheng saved the entire Su family, but she beat Brother Wu Zheng because of her excitement. Brother Wu Zheng thought she was a friend, understood her, and did not have the same knowledge as her. As a result, Su Jing not only did not know how to be grateful, but instead thought that Brother Wu Zheng was kind and bullied, becoming more and more excessive, and became more and more powerful. The same is true for these five demon clans. Although they respect Brother Wu Zheng very much, if they do not distinguish between high and low and do not let them know awe, it is difficult to guarantee that any of them will not become the next Su Jing in the future."

"Yes," Ke'er took it, "The seven demon clans are the tribes of heavenly punishment. It is already a great gift for the young master to keep them. The master is the master, and the slave is the slave. This boundary cannot be chaotic."

Gao Ying nodded and looked at the three of them, "It's so simple that I thought..."

"It's not that you think it's because you're very kind," Xiaojun paused, let out a light breath, looking at An Yu and Keer, "Actually, we were the same before Su Jing..."

An Yu and Ke'er looked at each other and were both feeling a little emotional.

I smiled slightly, "You are all right..."

They looked at me together.

I took a sip of tea, put down the cup, and said with emotion, "That time in Nandao, Ye Qian said that I was not strong enough or cruel enough. To be honest, I didn't realize the meaning of this at that time, but now I understand, it's actually that I'm not mature enough."

An Yu came over, "Brother Wu Zheng..."

I smiled at her and then looked at Xiaojun, Gao Ying and Keer, "When I came back from Jinling, the ghost messenger and Amo told me that the underworld wanted to destroy the Su family, and the demons also wanted to destroy the Su family. I thought they were just to help me get my face, and felt that it was not worth destroying a family for a slap, and it was too much. Later, these things happened, and I realized that all this was not that simple. The sacrifice of the seven demon clans was the promise of the underworld. It was by no means accidental to choose Su Jing as the head of the family."

"But if Su Jing could be like Ning Li, the Su family would not destroy the clan." I paused, "The underworld's attitude towards the seven demon clans is the same, and so is the demon. It is not favorable to one or the other. So after all, it is her own problem."

The girls agreed and nodded together, "Yes!"

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore." I stood up, looked at my watch, and said to them, "I'll buy some meat and vegetables, and we'll have hot pot at noon."

Xiaojun smiled and stood up, "Okay!"

Keer then stood up, "Young Master, I'll go too!"

I smiled and touched her head, led her, and turned around and walked out of the living room.

Xiaojun, An Yu and Gao Ying sat down again, looked at each other, and laughed.

When I came outside, I looked at the sky.

In late autumn, the sky is clear and the weather is particularly good.

I took a deep breath, feeling unspeakable.

"Young Master, where are we going to buy it?" Ke'er asked.

I looked at her, smiled faintly, grabbed her hand, "Let me go."
