Volume I Chapter 1180
In the splendid hall, the spirit of the largest clan in Tan City is revealed. Various lifelike sculptures of ferocious beasts, inscriptions, and murals are all deliberately maintaining a noble aura.
On the main seat, Han Ming sat with a pensive look on his face, and behind him stood the inseparable four elders. The mask that looked like he was smiling but not smiling, or crying but not crying, made people look very strange.
Although the hall was empty, it was not empty of people. Ning Tao stood in the center with his head lowered. He looked calm on the surface, but felt a little uneasy in his heart. Why did the head of the family, Han Ming, summon him alone?
Could it be that he discovered the treasure house?
Impossible. A major event like the theft of personal information would have nothing to do with a lowly guest like him. Even if Manager Ma explained everything, there was no way he would be suspected.
Could it be that you exposed something?
Ning Tao lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes. He seemed calm, but in fact, his heart was in turmoil. Under such circumstances, his random thoughts were like a cluster of inner demons that could not be suppressed at all.
There was no sound in the hall. Han Ming had been silent since he called him over. He couldn't say anything, so he had to stand and wait. The eyes of the fourth elder were very cold.
He was like a collection of blood demons, a machine dedicated to killing. He only obeyed the orders of the head of the family, and his methods were ruthless. He killed countless people.
Suddenly, Han Ming, who had been silent all this time, spoke, and the voice echoed in the hall, like thunder from the sky, deafening.
He said: "Guanshi Ning, you are very good, but do you know why I summoned you alone?"
When Ning Tao heard this, his eyes flickered and he said in a deep voice, "I don't know, I hope the master can give me some advice."
Hearing this, Han Ming chuckled lightly, tapped his middle finger rhythmically on the table and chair, and said with a faint smile: "It's not just about giving advice, I just have something to tell you."
"It doesn't matter if you say it, head of the family," Ning Tao said respectfully.
"Haha... It's nothing actually. I just think you have a lot of future. Although you have a foreign surname, you care about the Han family. Your courage surprised me," Han Ming praised.
"Well!"
Ning Tao's eyes flashed, and he immediately said with a dry smile: "The head of the family has given too much praise. As a member of the Han family, I should maintain his dignity. This is what I should do. You don't have to be polite."
"Okay, haha...Guanshi Ning really did not disappoint me. I am very pleased that you can stand up and protect the Han family without fear," Han Ming continued to praise.
After hearing this, Ning Tao's eyes flashed. What does this old fox mean by always putting a high hat on himself? He feels like he is digging a hole for himself. He must not be careless and must take the initiative.
He immediately smiled and said: "As a guest, that's what I should do. Even if I become the steward, I will work harder for the Han family and do my best."
"If the head of the family has any requests, you might as well say so directly. I will try my best to fulfill my duties and live up to my reputation as a steward."
Seeing Ning Tao show off his cards, Han Ming narrowed his eyes and suddenly laughed and said: "Actually, it's nothing, it's just some small things, it's about Xue'er, it's a little hard to talk about."
"Miss?"
Ning Tao was shocked and said quickly: "Master, I don't mind saying anything. As long as I can help, I will definitely not refuse."
Hearing this, Han Ming smiled slightly and finally said, "It's like this. Xue'er's current cultivation has reached a bottleneck. It's very difficult and she needs external help to break through."
"And there are many ways for her to break through, such as...a sum of training resources! But Xue'er has a very stubborn personality and doesn't like to accept everything from the clan, even what I give her."
"But if it's you, I think it's feasible. If you can stand up for her at the venue, I believe she will accept it. So, I hope you can cut off your love and help Xue'er...!"
Hearing this, Ningbo's pupils shrank into needle eyes. The fog that had been confusing finally dissipated, and the fox-like fangs were finally exposed. This is the truth!
He had been going around in circles for a long time just for the resources in his hands, the resources he had personally rewarded himself with, and now he wanted to take back the water he had thrown away.
Although he is unwilling to do so, he has to bow his head under the roof. The current situation... there is no room for him to disobey!
Ning Tao gritted his teeth and compromised: "Disciple understands that I will personally give this resource to the eldest lady..."
"No, no, no, if you give it to Xue'er, she will definitely not accept it with her thin skin. How about this, you give it to me and I will hand it over for you," Han Ming said with a gentle face.
"Um!"
Ning Tao was shocked and said with a smile: "How dare you trouble the master with such a trivial matter? I'd better go in person. In the name of the master, I believe Miss Xue'er will definitely accept it."
However, Han Ming's smile froze, and a chill spread out, and he said in a cold voice: "No need, I can handle this kind of thing myself, you can just leave the things."
"Don't worry, since it's something to reward you, how could I take it back? It's just that Xue'er needs your help. Of course, it's all voluntary. I didn't force it at all."
When Ning Tao heard this, his face was gloomy, his heart felt cold, and the fists in his sleeves were clenched tightly, but a terrifying pressure and a cold gaze were all released.
The atmosphere in the main hall was very oppressive, and nothing was forced. Damn it, anyone who is not stupid can see that this is clearly a robbery.
Finally, Ning Tao said in a deep voice: "What the head of the family said is that since the eldest lady has something to ask for, I will naturally agree."
"Whoosh!"
A figure came in an instant, with a burst of blood, and directly took the disk away. The fourth-grade beast elixir on it, and more than a thousand medicine tickets, were all taken into his arms.
When Ning Tao saw this, he gritted his teeth, and a feeling of anger filled his body. He had never seen such a shameless person, sending it out in front of thousands of people, and now he wanted to take it back.
At this time, Han Ming said coldly: "Guan Ning, Xue'er is thin-skinned. Regarding this matter, I believe you will not tell anyone, including... Xue'er!"
"It's better to just let it rot in your stomach and pretend it didn't happen!"
When Ning Tao heard this, the muscles on his face trembled. He was acting like a bitch and setting up a memorial hall at the same time. He gave the thing to him in front of everyone, but secretly took the thing back.
He is not allowed to talk nonsense, including Han Xue. Outsiders think that he holds a heavy treasure, but who would have thought that Han Ming is so shameless and the head of the family behaves worse than a dog!
At this time, a murderous intention suddenly burst out beside him, like a cold knife being placed on his neck. The fourth elder stood beside him with no expression on his face.
Feeling this scene, Ning Tao tried his best to suppress his anger, and finally uttered a few words, "Disciple... understand!"
When Han Ming heard this, his cold face finally softened, but there were rays of light flickering in his eyes, and he suddenly smiled and said: "I wonder what the magic method Ning Guanshi used before?"
"Such a powerful method, although it is not a Taoist method, is better than a Taoist method. It is not a good idea to meddle in things and hide your own personal interests. Xueer lacks such a unique skill recently. I wonder if I can give up my love?"
