Chapter Seventy Confrontation

  My computer broke down yesterday and I spent the whole day dealing with it, I'm so frustrated T_T

  The outer door's number one expert, Ning Yu, who had always been high above everyone else, was now walking towards the crowd.

  Everyone was already very surprised, but what made them even more shocked was that Ning Fan Yu actually walked up to a completely unremarkable white-clothed young man!

  Ning Chong, dressed in a simple white robe, indeed had a notorious reputation in the Ning family for being wasteful. However, because Ning Chong was low-key and rarely went out, many people in the family only knew of his name but not his face. Therefore, most of the younger generation in the family actually did not know Ning Chong.

  Naturally, in their eyes, Ning Cheng, who had concealed his true cultivation with the "Intense Lotus Seal", was merely a tragic cultivator at the first stage of martial arts, and apart from looking good, he was almost useless!

  So they were all surprised and puzzled, not knowing why Ning Fan looked at the white-clothed youth with such a serious expression, somewhat hostile. For a moment, they couldn't help but speculate who this white-clothed youth was? Full of curiosity and doubt, their eyes focused on Ning Chong in white clothes.

  At this time, Ning Chong didn't pay attention to the gazes and reactions of the people around him, because he had already locked eyes with Ning Fan Yu, who was walking towards him with an imposing aura.

  Ning Chong's gaze was gentle yet piercing, a perfect blend of softness and firmness. In contrast, Ning Fan Yu's gaze was exceptionally arrogant, looking down on everything with an icy killing intent and hatred that was not concealed in the slightest.

  They had not yet formally clashed, but the two had already begun their first confrontation, with neither yielding an inch in a fierce stare-down.

  "Hmph, although I didn't want to waste my time picking up trash and dirtying my hands, you actually came. Fine, fine! If you can leave safely after the Grand Comparison, I, Ning Fan, will write my name upside down!"

  A hint of viciousness flashed across Ning Fan's handsome face, his muscles tensing as he let out a cold laugh.

  Upon hearing Ning Fan's words, Ning Chong's momentum didn't falter in the slightest. He retorted, "Write your name backwards? Hmm, such a humiliating request, I won't disappoint you!"

  "Hmph! A useless thing that's only good at wagging its tongue!"

  He had witnessed Ning Chong's sharp tongue and clever words, he was absolutely confident in his own martial arts talent, but when it came to verbal sparring, he might not be able to outdo Ning Chong. With that said, he let out a cold snort and turned to leave.

  "Who is this young man in white? Looking at Ning Fan's words and actions, he actually treats him as an opponent?"

  "He looks somewhat familiar, but for a moment I couldn't recall who he is..."

  "No matter who he is, being valued so much by Ning Fan Yu, I'm afraid he won't be an ordinary person!"

  ……

  The crowd began to point at Ning Chong, discussing and speculating, all extremely interested in him. Ning Chong, however, was too lazy to pay attention to the onlookers again, so he also turned around and left with big strides.

  Just a few steps away, suddenly the wind sounded behind him, and a pair of small hands covered Ning Chong's eyes. A girl's crisp voice asked: "Hehe, guess who I am?"

  Ning Chong pretended not to know, but intentionally put on a thoughtful and puzzled expression, pinching his chin and nodding: "Hmmm, small hands, soft voice, and always getting into mischief everywhere... whose little wild girl is this? For a moment, I really couldn't think of it."

  "Ning Chong brother, you're so annoying! I already told you that I'm a grown-up now, not a little girl anymore, but you still deliberately say things like that!"

  Puffed up, Ning Chong clenched his small fist and pounded Ning Chong's back several times.

  Ning Chong burst out laughing "haha".

  Ning Jing and Ning Chong were playing around, extremely intimate. However, this scene was clearly seen by Ning Fan Yu who had not walked far away. Ning Fan Yu instantly clenched his fists, a dark aura bursting out from his face, flames spouting from his eyes, anger and killing intent growing deeper.

  "Take advantage of the opportunity while you still can, enjoy yourself to your heart's content, trash! After this big comparison, even if you don't die, you will definitely be exhausted, making you a complete waste!"

  Ning Fangyu was thinking viciously when he suddenly remembered that the clan leader, Ning Xubai, had secretly summoned him and several other outstanding outer door disciples a few days ago.

  When summoned, Ning would secretly hint that whoever encountered Ning Chong should immediately attack him fiercely, even if it meant killing him.

  With the clan leader's private guarantee, Ning Yu can act without any worries. He has already decided to get rid of Ning Chong, that useless trash, and avenge his past grievances. Helping Clan Leader Ning achieve his goals is just a matter of lifting his hand.

  The only slightly difficult part is whether Ning Chong can be encountered. Because of Ning Chong's martial arts talent and current strength, it's likely that he won't even pass the initial selection. That would be no fun at all.

  "Come on, Brother Ning Chong! With your strength, you'll definitely make a big splash this time and knock down all the outer sect disciples!"

  Ning Chong smiled and joked: "Wouldn't that be knocking you down together?"

  "Ah!" Ning Jing covered her mouth, and indeed, she hadn't thought of this question in that little brain of hers.

  However, after thinking for a moment, she didn't care anymore, pouted and said: "Anyway, I'm not going to win against you, never mind! Ning Chong brother, if you can get the first place in the outer gate competition, you have to treat me! It's settled like this, no backing out or you're a little dog!"

  Before Ning Chong could even react, the little girl had already shut him down with a single sentence. Ning Chong was taken aback, and all he could do was shrug his shoulders and laugh - he really didn't know how to deal with this little girl.

  Time flies, the square is already crowded with people. In addition to many onlookers, this time the disciples participating in the Ning family's outer door disciple competition are not only from the main house of the Ning family but also at least two or more disciples from each of the Ning family branches in the nearby towns of Xuan Yuan City.

  At this time, there were more than 2,000 people on the square, it was really a sea of people.

  However, the inner courtyard of the Ning family is indeed extremely large. With so many people standing in the courtyard, it still looks very spacious and open, without any feeling of crowding.

  On the high platform in front of the square, the seven elders in charge of this outer door disciple competition, including Ning Xingbi from the Ning family, were seated, looking down at the participating disciples in the square.

  Originally, as one of the seven elders and with his status, he didn't need to personally take charge of this matter, but he was the one who proposed six months ago that Ning Cheng must participate in the Family Outer Disciples' Grand Competition, and also served as a witness and notary.

  Moreover, considering Ning Xingbi as the clan leader, he was quite unfair to Ning Chong. He even privately did such a despicable thing as to frame him. The seven elders naturally couldn't put their minds at ease, so they rarely took personal responsibility and presided over this family's outer door disciple competition.

  Looking at the sea of people below the high platform, and the young and energetic faces, the seven elders felt a sense of emotion. These vigorous children are all the future of the Ning family! The future of the Ning family depends on them!

  There's a feeling like seeing the flowers and grass growing vigorously, the Seventh Elder pinched his chin whiskers and asked another elder beside him: "Old Wang, apart from cultivating, you're always cooped up in piles of books. This time, it's rare for you to accompany me in presiding over this family's outer disciple competition. I wonder what you think of the potential of these young family disciples?"

  The elder beside the seven elders wore a simple soap-colored robe, with a kind face, which was exactly the same as the seven elders that Ning Chong had seen in the lecture hall.
