Chapter 76: The Overbearing Junior Brother

  Ningyuan and He Zhengxun were whispering to each other in the back, while Gu Fenglin, sitting in the front, was distracted and said cautiously, "Master, Second Master, can I go with you to the Dongnan Antique Appraisal Meeting?"

  "Are you going to bring shame to our Jiu Xuan Men at the age of thirty without even mastering a secret technique?" He Ze Yun hadn't even responded when He Zheng Xun spoke up with a stern face.

  Gu Fenglin's face turned sullen, but he didn't dare say a word. He was terrified of He Zhengxun.

  It's strange to say, Gu Fenglin's qualifications are not bad, and his comprehension is also above average. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been valued by He Zhengyun back then and taken as a nominal disciple. However, after all these years, he still can't grasp the secret methods.

  Looking at Gu Fenglin's expression, Ning Yuan smiled and interjected: "Let Xiaofeng follow along, I think he has already reached the threshold of the Secret Method Hall, it's just that he lacks a catalyst. This time's Southeast Treasure Appraisal Convention will inevitably have a battle of magical skills among the mysterious door experts, which is exactly what he needs to experience."

  Ning Yuan finally spoke up, and He Zhengxun nodded coldly: "Then let him follow us. After the Southeast Treasure Appraisal Conference this time, if he still can't master the secret method, I'll expel him from our sect."

  He Zhengxun's tone was still so unkind, but Ningyuan just smiled and winked at Gu Fenglin. He Zhengxun was clearly a sharp-tongued but soft-hearted person. Now in his sixties, he only had Gu Fenglin as his sole disciple. To say that he didn't dote on him would be false; it's just that he wasn't good at showing it.

  Gu Fenglin saw Ning Yuan wink at him and hastily said, "Thank you, Master, thank you, Young Master. After the Southeast Treasure Appraisal Conference, I will definitely enter the sect with a secret method."

  "Don't be too smug, you think it's that easy to enter the secret method." He Zhengxun coldly shouted: "People in the Xuanmen, remember that a floating heart and anxious breath are your biggest obstacles to entering the secret method."

  "Alright, Master, I'll be more careful." Gu Fenglin responded and began to focus on driving.

  Ningyuan and He Zhengxun sat in the back and chatted in a low voice, after a while, two cars followed one another, and they arrived at Ningyuan's residence.

  A few people got off the car, Gu Fenglin opened the door in front, Ning Yuan led He Zhengxun and Ouyang Shasha Liu Dong and others into the living room, Gu Fenglin had already started brewing tea.

  Just as several people had sat down on the sofa, footsteps sounded from the doorway. Tan Donglin walked in with a smile and stopped at the entrance of the living room, seeing He Zhengxun, Ouyang Shasha and others inside. He was slightly taken aback and smiled: "There are guests, so I won't disturb you."

  "We're all family here, no need for formalities. Since Old Tan has arrived, please take a seat." Ning Yuan said with a smile as he stood up to greet him.

  Tan Donglin walked in after Ning Yuan said that, and Ning Yuan smiled and introduced him: "This is my second senior brother, He Zhengxun. These two are students of Fuhai University, Ouyang Shasha and Liu Dong."

  "Second Master, this is Tan Donglin, a famous doctor from Shangjiang City, and also my neighbor."

  Ningyuan introduced both parties, Tan Donglin and He Zhengxun shook hands, and the few people sat down again. Tan Donglin smiled wryly and said: "Ningyuan, it's not that I'm saying you, but this morning, you were a bit too aggressive. Xinming is also a well-known doctor in Shangjiang City, and you didn't give him any face. This will have a bad impact on you."

  "What's going on? Little brother, you're in trouble again?" He Zhengxun asked curiously.

  "It wasn't a big deal, just treated a patient and had a small conflict." Ning Yuan smiled faintly as he recounted the events.

  "That's it!"

  He Zhengxun snorted coldly, "Disrespecting the elderly, relying on age to deceive others, you're still kind-hearted, little brother. If I were to say it, this kind of person doesn't even deserve to be a doctor."

  Listening to He Zhengxun's words, Tan Donglin almost choked, in his opinion, He Zhengxun was Ningyuan's senior fellow apprentice and was already over 60 years old, should be more calm and composed, knowing the pros and cons of the situation, would advise Ningyuan properly. Who would have thought that He Zhengxun would say something like this, with a tone even more overbearing than Ningyuan's.

  "What kind of people are these?"

  Tan Donglin was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, feeling that he really couldn't keep up with society anymore. These two brothers, Ning Yuan and his elder brother, were truly one more overbearing than the other.

  Tan Donglin thought that Ningyuan would not think he had overstepped, and he came to test the waters with Ningyuan, hoping that Ningyuan would not argue with Tong Xingming in the future. Seeing He Zhengyun was also there, he spoke out and said those words. Now it's good, He Zhengyun's one sentence made it difficult for him to say anything afterwards.

  "Haha!"

  Tan Donglin could only smile wryly and picked up the tea that Gu Fenglin had placed in front of him, taking a sip before changing the subject: "Ningyuan, you promised to help me with feng shui, it's been so many days already, when are you free?"

  Ning Yuan glanced at the time, but it was just past two in the afternoon. He smiled and said, "Then let's go this afternoon. Second Brother is also around, we can have some tea first and then head over to take a look."

  "Hehe, okay then." Tan Donglin smiled and nodded in satisfaction, clearly very pleased. He had a lot of admiration for Ningyuan's abilities, and with He Zhengxun here, this trip hadn't been a complete waste of time after all.

  Gu Fenglin poured tea for everyone, sat down himself, and just as he was about to take a sip, the phone rang. He picked it up, listened for a few sentences, then hung up and said to Ning Yuan: "Young Master Shu, Jiang Zong just called and said that there are rumors circulating in the upper reaches of the city that the new building of the Jiang Group has feng shui problems, which is why Jiang Zong was hospitalized after a car accident."

  "What's meant to come will still come, and this Li River is still restless." Ning Yuan sighed.

  He had just arrived in Shangjiang City and was already at odds with Li Chuanhe. At the time, he still calculated that Li Chuanhe might make a move against him, but after Ma Baocheng's incident, the ominous signs in his heart had disappeared. It should be that Li Chuanhe saw his own skills and felt that using small tricks was useless, so he temporarily withdrew his hand, but unexpectedly, Li Chuanhe directly shifted his attention to Jiang Shihao.

  Jiang Shihao's car accident was very mysterious, and Ningyuan had long suspected that it was the work of Li Chuanhe. However, after what happened at school later on, he didn't have time to bother with Li Chuanhe, but unexpectedly, this Li Chuanhe really wouldn't give up.

  "Kongsi's Feng Shui?"

  He Zhengxun furrowed his brow and asked, "What's going on?"

  Gu Fenglin naturally didn't dare to hide anything, and carefully told the whole story in detail: "It's basically like this. Li Chuanhe has been in Shangjiang City for many years and has long considered Shangjiang City as his territory. He obviously doesn't want Xiaoshi Shu to gain a foothold in Shangjiang City."

  "Hmm."

  He Zhengxun snorted coldly and said, "A small outer door disciple of the Shanling Sect dares to be so bold. You really think that the Jiuxuan Sect is easy to bully. Little brother, you are being too lenient."

  In He Zhengxun's eyes, Li Chuan River was just an ant, and the ant dared to provoke him. This matter could be big or small, and it was not impossible for it to escalate into a challenge to the Shanling Sect and the Jiuxuan Gate.

  "Second Master, I have my own way of handling this matter. A mere Li Chuan River is not even worth my attention, I just didn't bother to deal with him. Since he doesn't know what's good for him, I naturally won't go easy on him. You don't need to worry about this matter anymore." Ning Yuan said with a faint smile.

  "Alright, I won't interfere with this matter anymore." He Zhengxun nodded his head. After all, Ning Yuan was the master of the Jiuxuan Gate, and some things still needed to be experienced by him personally.

  Ningyuan and He Zhengxun talked about the Li River, not avoiding Tan Donglin. Tan Donglin listened to the conversation between Ningyuan and his two brothers, and the more he heard, the more frightened he became.

  Tong Xingming was nothing to be surprised about, although he had some fame in Shangjiang City and was just a doctor. But Li Chuanhe was a grandmaster of Shangjiang City, with close ties to the three major aristocratic families, and knew countless celebrities in Shangjiang City. He was someone who could make Shangjiang City tremble with just one move. Yet, such a person was also insignificant in the mouths of these two brothers...
