But the key point wasn't Yuan An, but this Elder. He wasn't an ordinary Elder, and he certainly wasn't a Venerate that the Ning family had recruited.
In terms of seniority, the City Lord had to call him Uncle. This was Ning Chaofan's Third Grandfather, the true master of the Wenhua Garden. His status in the family was extremely high.
Even he had to bow to Qin Hao!
From what he heard, Ning Chaofan had been protected by Qin Hao, which was why he was able to return safely.
A low level martial artist had actually protected the Ning family's Young Master. How was this possible!?
It could be imagined just how shocked the martial artists were!
"It's over!" Jia He's face was deathly pale. Cold sweat poured down like rain, soaking his entire body.
"It was nothing. Senior, there is no need to take it to heart!"
Qin Hao returned the greeting. He had cracked the Hidden Dragon Array Formation, killed the old man with the broken sword, and brought Ning Chaofan out. It was indeed that easy.
However, in the ears of the martial artists, this' nothing 'was like a perilous storm!
Could it be that this low level martial artist had hidden his cultivation and was in fact an almighty being?
Had the Spirit Beast Sect kicked an iron plate?
The martial artists looked towards Changhe Lo. This matter clearly wasn't over yet. Qin Hao was Ning Chaofan's teacher and also his savior. How should the Spirit Beast Sect handle their relationship with the Ning Mansion?
"So it's the son of Golden Light City's City Lord. I've long heard that Brother Chaofan is proficient in array formations and artifact refining. Now that I've met you, your aura is truly extraordinary. I am the chief disciple of the Spirit Beast Sect's Sovereign, Changhe Lo!" Changhe Lo gracefully smiled and cupped his fists towards Ning Chaofan.
He directly ignored Qin Hao, as if nothing had happened between the two of them.
The martial artists nodded. Changhe Lo was a smart man. He avoided Qin Hao and greeted the Ning family's Young Master. Then, the conflict between him and the Ning family would be resolved.
Since the Spirit Beast Sect didn't mention it, the Ning family naturally wouldn't mention it either. Both sides were major forces. How could they shed all pretense of cordiality for an outsider like Qin Hao?
In fact, Changhe Lo also had such thoughts. However, they had seriously underestimated Qin Hao's position in Ning Chaofan's heart.
Young Master Ning was sincere in becoming a disciple, but Changhe Lo avoided his teacher. Was he looking down on him?
"What does my bearing have to do with you?
Are you close to him?
Do I know you? "Ning Chaofan threw a cold look at Changhe Lo.
Changhe Lo couldn't help but glare.
"He Luo!"
The injured Elder Wan got up and shook his head at Changhe Lo. Golden Light City was the territory of the Ning family, so he couldn't have any conflicts with them.
"Hehe, if that's the case, I won't disturb Young Master Ning any further. Please!"
Changhe Lo retreated and led the disciples of the Spirit Beast Sect into the Wenhua Garden. Previously, Jia He had promised to let them stay in the Tianhua Courtyard.
Therefore, the Tianhua Courtyard naturally belonged to them.
During this entire process, Changheluo turned around and glanced at Que 'er unwillingly.
"Did I allow you to enter?"
Ning Chaofan took a step forward and stood in front of Changhe Lo. After offending my teacher, you still want to stay in my house?
You must be dreaming, right?
"Ning Chaofan, how does your servant do things?
My brother-in-law and I wanted a house, but he said that lowly people and dogs couldn't enter.
That white-haired guy wanted a house, but your servant acted as if he had seen his own father. His attitude was even more respectful than before! "Que 'er pointed angrily at Jia He.
"Eldest Young Master, I was wrong. Please have mercy on me!"
Plop!
Jia He knelt down.
"Lowly people and dogs can't enter?
My teacher is a lowly person?
Good, very good.
I've only been away from the family for a month. When I returned, there were already people who wished for my death.
What's even more ironic is that the person who wished for my death was actually a servant of the Ning family! "Ning Chaofan was so angry that he laughed instead.
"Young Master, I didn't know that the gentleman was your teacher. If I had known, I would have had a hundred times the courage …"
"I seem to have explained it to Steward Jia. Unfortunately, before I could say anything, you had already rudely chased me out!" Qin Hao was also helpless.
"Young Master, please have mercy …"
"Shut up. I'll deal with you later!"
Ning Chaofan interrupted Jia He and said to Changhe Lo, "Now, are you going to get out of here, or do you want me to send you out?"
Qin Hao had heard this sentence before!
However, at this moment, it was being used on Changhe Lo.
The ups and downs of life were truly too exciting!
"Young Master Ning, isn't this too much?
Can't you even stay for one night? "Changhe Lo said.
"My teacher can stay, of course. However, your Spirit Beast Sect is not qualified!" Ning Chaofan looked directly at the other party.
"Young Master Ning, as a person, don't be too ruthless!" An elder of the Spirit Beast Sect said.
"Ruthless?"
Ning Chaofan looked at the other party and solemnly ordered, "All members of the Ning family in the Wenhua Park, listen to my order. From today onwards, no matter if it's an inn, a tavern, a medicine shop, or a pill shop, as long as it's a property of the Ning family, no one is allowed to accept anyone from the Spirit Beast Sect. Even if it's not a property of the Ning family, if you dare to accept anyone, you will be making an enemy of the Ning family."
"Yes, Young Master!" The Ning family's martial artist shouted in a deep voice.
"Are you satisfied?
Now you're calling me ruthless. If you think it's not ruthless enough, I'll give an order. Do you believe that I won't let your Spirit Beast Sect enter the auction tomorrow?
Not even a single strand of hair?
Get out of here … "Ning Chaofan pointed at the Spirit Beast Sect's elder's nose.
At this moment, everyone from the Spirit Beast Sect was extremely embarrassed and humiliated. They were the most authoritative first-rate Sect in the Southern Territory. If they were driven to the streets and didn't even have a place to stay, their Sect would lose face.
"Ning Chaofan, is this your idea or City Lord Ning's?
Is the Golden Light City branch preparing to declare war on my Spirit Beast Sect? "Changhe Lo roared in anger, no longer able to maintain his elegant smile.
All inns, taverns, and even shops not owned by the Ning family in the Golden Light City were not allowed to accept anyone from the Spirit Beast Sect. This was tantamount to a complete break with the Spirit Beast Sect.
"I hope Young Master Ning has thought it through before saying these words. Or perhaps, he should ask for City Lord Ning's opinion!" Elder Wan sneered. In his opinion, Ning Chaofan was not qualified to give such a serious order.
"Are you looking down on me?
Since I am the young master of the Golden Light City, sooner or later, I will be the real City Lord. If my father dies tomorrow, then I will be the City Lord. Do you think this young master is qualified?
Third Grandpa, throw them out! "Ning Chaofan waved his hand.
The Ning family's elder suddenly took a step forward. The aura of an eighth stage Primitive Emperor rose, and his imposing manner was astonishing.
"Ning Chaofan, you lunatic!"
Chang Heluo simply couldn't imagine what kind of reaction City Lord Ning would have if he had heard such disgraceful words from the other party.
All the cultivators in the hall were speechless!
Only the members of the Ning family were embarrassed. They hoped that the City Lord would die. In the whole residence, perhaps only the young master dared to say such words.
However, those who were used to Ning Chaofan's temper knew that he was indeed a lawless dandy.
"He Luo, let's go!"
Elder Wan couldn't bear such humiliation. If they continued to make trouble, they might not be able to enter the auction tomorrow.
"Ning Chaofan, you are ruthless.
And you, what is your name? "Changhe Lo stared at Qin Hao. His gaze could kill.
"Qin Hao!" Qin Hao said calmly.
"Good, I hope you can have a meteoric rise in the Ning family. Or, the Ning family can protect you for the rest of your life. Let's go!"
Changhe Lo was extremely angry. He had never been humiliated like today. In front of so many forces, he was driven out of the Ning family.
Even the Holy Son of the Fierce Sun Temple, Yue Qianyang, didn't act like a mad dog like Ning Chaofan.
And all this was because of Qin Hao!
In the Ning family, Changhe Lo couldn't do anything to Qin Hao.
But outside of Golden Light City, only the heavens knew if Qin Hao would still be alive!
Accompanied by the cultivators pointing and whispering, the Spirit Beast Sect left the Wenhua Garden. Just as Ning Chaofan said, they had to set up tents and sleep on the street tonight.
"Now, it's your turn …" Ning Chaofan rolled his eyes and coldly stared at the kneeling Jia He. The culprit of this situation was this idiot.
If he hadn't turned a blind eye and allowed Changhe Lo to be unscrupulous, the Golden Light City branch wouldn't have had the chance to break off relations with the Spirit Beast Sect.
