Chapter 66: The Evil Spirit Assassin

127 The Evil Spirit Assassiing Shi knew that these three people treated him warmly because one of them wanted something from him. Wu Qihua needed the stamina potion produced by Ning Shi’s school. The other two were acting like this due to their immediate superiors.

They weren’t really showing respect for Ning Shi’s own strength.

Facing everyone’s shock, Ning Shi remained indifferent.

On the other hand, Zong Shangren raised his head high as if he was telling everyone that his master is the most awesome!

Ning Shi said, “Shangren, you should meet up with your family members. Mr. Zong, you can go on with your work first. I’ll have a chat with Principal Wu.”

Ning Shi, Wu Qihua, and the other two Tier 9 awakeners went to the big balcony on the third floor.

There were tables, chairs, and utensils for making tea.

Rich people indeed knew how to enjoy the night breeze in the mountains and the beautiful night sky with a pot of hot tea.

Wu Qihua took the seat of honor and made tea for everyone.

After boiling the water, he sighed and said, “Principal Ning, you have most likely felt the strange atmosphere in the Zong family. If it wasn’t for the fact that I owed Zong Qing a favor, I would definitely not have intervened in this matter.”

Ning Shi smiled bitterly and said, “I was just laughed at by a little girl from the main family. She said that I was a country bumpkin carrying a sandbag. I saw that the people in the hall were clearly divided into three factions. Why is that so?”

Before Wu Qihua could answer, Deng Zutai answered, “The one who laughed at you was a girl called Zong Linna, right? I heard from the Investigation Department that this girl went abroad when she was five years old and spent most of her time living overseas. She didn’t pick up good manners, but instead mimicked the chaos and willfulness of foreign students. She has just returned to the country and is completely ignorant of the current situation in the country. She only knows that her cousin Yi Shengjia has won the national competition.”

He continued, “Her cousin is the most powerful awakener that she knows of. In order to show off Yi Shengjia’s power and gain his attention, Zong Linna has been acting like a Porcupine. She has been scolding people everywhere she goes. Quite a few members of the Investigation Department have been ridiculed by her.”

Ning Shi was very surprised. He asked, “Didn’t Zong Qing discipline such behavior ”

Wu Qihua rinsed the teacup and said, “It’s not easy for him to do so. Every family has its own difficulties. The Twin Group was founded by the Zong family’s patriarch, Zong Houjing. Zong Qing took over the management of the group from the patriarch and gradually developed it to its current glory.

Zong Qing has three younger brothers and one younger sister. Although they didn’t receive management rights, they all have shares in the group. This was an arrangement made by the patriarch in order to prevent his own children from fighting over his assets.

As such, Zong Qing is not the only one who has final say in the Zong family. Furthermore, his younger siblings have been extremely displeased with the fact that their father has left the management rights and the majority of the shares of the Zong family to their elder brother.

Zong Qing’s sister, Zong Yun, who is also Yi Shengjia’s mother, especially loves to fight for power. Sigh. Yi Shengjia is an outstanding young man. We wanted to get to know him initially. It’s a pity that we can’t do so.”

Ning Shi recalled his disciple Zong Shangren’s attitude towards Yi Shengjia. No wonder he was so hostile towards the latter.

After Wu Qihua finished speaking, Jin Rongzhi commented, “These are just boring grudges between the rich and powerful. They’re still fighting among themselves in the face of danger.”

Ning Shi really wanted to give Jin Rongzhi a thumbs up. He was right.

Wu Qihua poured tea for the three of them and continued, “The people in the hall are divided into three factions. It was actually Zong Yun who started all this. She is respected by others because of her son. She uses Yi Shengjia’s prestige as the champion to gather a group of supporters in the main family. In order to highlight how incredible Yi Shengjia is, these people repeatedly targeted the Investigation Department.”

He further explained, “The Investigation Department and this group of people are hostile to each other. The friends that Zong Qing invited to help out didn’t want to offend either side, so they chose to remain neutral. Hence, when you arrived, you saw the crowd divided into three factions.”

Deng Zutai chuckled while saying, “if it wasn’t for Zong Qing’s repeated attempts to keep them here and their duty to protect the people, the members of the Investigation Department would have left in a fit of anger long ago. When they set up patrols around the manor, do you know what Yi Shengjia said?”

Deng Zutai’s expression became aloof as he imitated Yi Shengjia’s tone, “You guys don’t need to set up any defenses. I’ve given the cameras, stones, and weeds spirituality. Everything within a three-kilometer radius of this manor is under my control.”

Deng Zutai ended by saying, “Meng Dengjun was so angry that his face turned green. He immediately dismissed all the patrols.”

Only then did Ning Shi understand why he didn’t see any members of the Investigation Department patrolling around the manor. They had been driven away by Yi Shengjia.

Wu Qihua did not say anything, but Jin Rongzhi commented objectively, “Yi Shengjia is speaking the truth. With his enabling-type ability, he can indeed monitor the entire manor. If there’s any movement in the surroundings, his spirits will inform him.

Objectively speaking, there’s nothing wrong with Yi Shengjia. Based on my observation, although he appears to act cold, he focuses all his energy on cultivation. He’s very simple-minded, but he has an annoying mother.”

Deng Zutai was only complaining from the perspective of the Investigation Department, so Jin Rongzhi’s straightforwardness made him a little unhappy. To sour his mood further, Jin Rongzhi had not finished his statement.

"No matter what Yi Shengjia’s mother does, it won’t affect his future. He still has a good father.”

Deng Zutai immediately shut up.

Ning Shi found this hilarious. Jin Rongzhi’s tongue was really sharp. He had pointed out why the Investigation Department had kept tolerating Yi Shengjia despite being ridiculed and provoked. Yi Shengjia’s father, Yi Guoqing, was now an overlord.

The Investigation Department could only bear with this predicament they faced.

Wu Qihua coughed to ease the awkward atmosphere and said, “There’s no problem with Yi Shengjia’s character and ability. The Investigation Department is happy that someone is sharing our workload.”

Wu Qihua poured a cup of tea for Deng Zutai and comforted him saying, “You see, even with Principal Ning’s prestige and ability, he was still ridiculed. To the ordinary people and low-level awakeners, Yi Shengjia is the champion of the National Awakeners’ Competition. So, of course he is the most powerful awakener to them.”

He teased, “The three of us are Tier 9 awakeners and these people fortunately know that 9 is greater than 8. Otherwise, we would have been mocked as well.”

He concluded, “It’s best if Yi Shengjia can solve the Zong family’s troubles, then we would have repaid our debt and can leave early.”

Ning Shi nodded. The National Awakener’s Competition had just ended, and Yi Shengjia was currently in the limelight. The members of the main family were proud of him and thought that he was the best. This was normal.

Speaking of trouble, Ning Shi directly asked, “Principal Wu, have you guys figured out who the culprit is?”

Wu Qihua, Jin Rongzhi, and Deng Zutai looked at each other. In the end, it was Wu Qihua who spoke in an extremely low voice.

"Principal Ning, let’s be honest with you. General Jin and I are here to repay the favor we owe Zong Qing. Our mission is to ensure the safety of the Zong family members. We don’t have the motivation or the professional ability to get to the bottom of this case.

As for Consultant Deng and the Investigation Department, due to the evil deeds of some of the Zong family members, they have changed their strategy and intend to use these members as bait to fish out the evil forces behind the threatening letters.

So far, the Investigation Department has not found any more clues.”

Ning Shi smiled as he said, “Principal Wu, it seems that our goals are the same. I’m here because of my disciple. My goal is to protect the safety of him and his father. As for whether the other family members live or die, I don’t want to get involved too much because this matter is bizarre and full of conspiracy.”

Ning Shi didn’t hide anything and told the three of them about how his company had been targeted by the He family as well.

"The He family definitely has a big problem. It seems that they have evil intentions against me. Before I figure out the true purpose of the threatening letter, I won’t act rashly. When the time comes, I hope that the three of you can help me take care of my disciple.”

Wu Qihua agreed readily. He replied, “Don’t worry, Principal Ning. This is what Zong Qing asked General Jin and I to do. Now that we have you, we will definitely do our best to take care of the Zong family members.”

The four of them exchanged cultivation insights and their views on the insect disaster as well as current affairs.

They chatted late into the night before they went back to their rooms to sleep.

The next morning, after breakfast, Ning Shi was in the yard supervising Zong Shangren’s practice when he suddenly saw a shadow flash in front of him.

The people around him all seemed oblivious to the shadow’s presence.

Ning Shi instantly understood that he was the only one who could see it. No one else could.

Was there actually a ghost?

...

He remained calm and secretly used the Eye of Truth to inspect the shadow.
