Surprise! The popular villain is actually Long Aotian's wife
Chapter 394: Going to the East Wasteland to Plant Trees
The Ning family was severely damaged in the accident. My grandfather was filled with remorse and died of a heart attack after hearing a series of bad news.
The Ning family's business was in a state of collapse.
My uncle and his family sold all their belongings and disappeared with the money.
Ning Jing'an and Ning Zhuting, two half-grown boys, supported the entire Ning family. They traveled all over the world to discuss business and revitalize the Ning family. They also had to search for treasures everywhere with their younger brother who was not born safely.
Ning Jing'an has a good business mind and is good at speaking. With the support of Tianxue City, he and Ning Zhuting use the auction house to gradually get the Ning family started.
In order to protect the auction items from being snatched away while escorting them, Ning Zhuting chose to practice cultivation wholeheartedly.
Those were difficult times, but the two brothers, one a scholar and one a warrior, managed to do very well.
However, most of the profits are turned into nutrients to maintain the vitality of the eggs.
For a long time, the little golden man was in an unconscious state in the egg.
As the business spread across the continent, Ning Jing'an spent countless rare treasures before his three-month-old younger brother gradually grew his hands and feet in the egg.
Later, by chance, he obtained a medium-sized Tiandao resource.
After staying in the egg for hundreds of years, Ning finally broke out of the shell.
He had never seen his parents since he was born, and his elder and second brothers were like the sky above his head.
The eldest brother seems gentle but is actually scheming and wise, while the second brother is cold and taciturn, cold on the outside but gentle on the inside.
The little golden man likes to live with Gu Bei, largely because the younger brother Gu and the second brother have similar personalities.
As for Ning Baobao’s overly naive and simple character, it is unknown whether it is due to the fact that he was born from an egg that caused him to have some IQ defect.
Anyway, a person like Ning Jing'an who is full of evil intentions can never discredit a pure glutinous rice cake like my younger brother.
Hundreds of years ago, my uncle's family took advantage of our misfortune and ran away with all the money.
A hundred years later, after the auction business had picked up, he shamelessly tried to divide up the Ning family's business as if it was his right.
There were several elders present, and Ning Jing'an couldn't refuse. He suppressed his impulsive and angry Ning Zhuting who was about to draw his sword, and with a gentle smile he agreed to let his uncle's family participate in the auction business.
Ning Jing'an didn't show it on his face, but over the course of a few years, he sent his uncle's family to the Eastern Wilderness to plant trees.
The Eastern Wasteland is barren and desert-like, with few human traces, and the only creatures that can survive are mostly monsters and beasts.
But equally, contracting large tracts of wasteland is also cheap.
The reason why the Ning family has become the number one auction house on the mainland today is that it relies on reducing the cost of the auction items to the lowest level and harvesting resources from the source.
Compared to other auction houses that purchase items from monks, the Ning family's businesses are spread all over the continent, spanning several regions, and all raw materials are self-produced.
In short, the spiritual plants and elixirs just dug out of the ground can be sent to the auction house in the next second.
Because the land was contracted by the Ning family, the people who worked in the fields were hired by the Ning family.
In addition to the cultivation of spiritual medicines, the Ning family also has their own mines in various places.
Even some mercenary groups that entered the Monster Forest to hunt monsters were formed by the Ning family.
By purchasing goods from the source, the Ning family can lower the price of an item to a level that other auction houses cannot achieve.
The size of the auction will depend on the star rating of the city. The Ning family does business in the Demon Realm, the Southern Border of the Monster Realm, and even the sea outside the realm.
The environment in the East Wasteland was harsh and supplies were extremely scarce. Ning Jing'an, under the guise of letting his uncle supervise the business in the East Wasteland, drove that ungrateful family to the East Wasteland.
In name, my uncle is the person in charge of the Ning family's business in Donghuang, but in reality, his power has been completely stripped away. Ning Jing'an has arranged his own confidants to handle all matters, and my uncle is completely in name only.
The Eastern Wilderness is a poor and remote place, it is either a desert with rolling yellow sand or a scorched mountain with deadly places, all the necessary daily necessities need to be delivered there.
Although my uncle's family was not starving to death, it was difficult for them to enjoy their lives.
Even if they were angry and refused to work, they could only stay in the stone house built with rocks and eat naan and drink wild vegetable soup.
After all, it's easy to choke on sand once you go out.
The wind and sand hurt their throats, and the sun burned their bodies. The Ning family cultivators stationed in the Eastern Wilderness all had their faces covered. Even if the uncle wanted to do something naughty, he could hardly say a word.
The elders of the Ning family felt sorry for my uncle's family, so as soon as Ning Fanyu was born, he was taken to the main household of the Ning family and raised by several elders.
Although the uncle is heartless and ungrateful, the young son is innocent. Besides, Ning Fanyu has never been raised by his uncle for a single day.
So Ning Jing'an turned a blind eye and acquiesced to the actions of the elders.
I don't know what those stubborn elders taught Ning Fanyu, which made him become hypocritical and two-faced.
Ning Jing'an glanced at Ning Fanyu, who was still tied up and thrown on the ground, sobbing and struggling, and waved her hand to have someone untie him.
Ning Fanyu's hands and feet were tied up by Brother Crow and his men so much that they were numb and painful. He tried to stand up but fell flat on his face and landed headfirst at Ning Jing'an's feet.
"Fan Yu is very smart, but he treats others as fools."
A voice came faintly from my head, with a faint chuckle that seemed a bit indifferent.
Ning Fanyu looked up and met Ning Jing'an's cold eyes that seemed to see through people's hearts.
Gently stroking the jade stove that warmed his hands, a cool voice fell.
"Do you really think that I care about the little money you make?"
"It's just something that kids play with. If they make money or lose money, it's fine as long as they're happy. It's not a big deal."
Ning Jing'an had a hint of mocking laughter on the corner of her lips.
"Because it's just a toy for kids."
Ning Fanyu's whole body was cold, as if his every move was being watched by someone.
The black-clad secret guard threw Manager Lin, whose neck had been broken, in front of him.
The fact that he and Manager Lin were collaborating with the ghost cultivator was obviously exposed.
Ning Fanyu's forehead was instantly covered with cold sweat, and he hurriedly said, "Brother Jing'an, listen to my explanation——"
"My Ning Jing'an's younger brother is born with a good life."
Ning Jing'an interrupted him and pointed out the truth bluntly.
It also brought Ning Fanyu's long-standing resentment to the surface.
The elders of the clan wanted Ning Fanyu to learn how to handle business from Ning Jing'an.
Whether out of admiration or fear of returning to the harsh environment of East Wilderness, Ning Fanyu has been trying desperately to please Ning Jing'an since he was a child.
But the people he admired always looked down on him.
When he was eight years old, he wanted to please Ning Jing'an and tried to act smart by showing that he was a good brother.
He wanted to gain Brother Jing'an's recognition by taking care of the egg, the unborn younger brother, who had always been held in Brother Jing'an's palm.
He imitated the servant and held the egg, but his movements seemed a little funny because of his young age.
He called that egg brother.
He learned to transfer spiritual energy to the egg.
He wiped it with a handkerchief and talked to the egg himself.
"Brother, you are a brother, so be good."
You little annoying guy, why does Jing'an only like you and not me?
I wish he was Jing'an's biological brother.
The door opened, and Ning Jing'an strode in. Ning Fanyu held the egg and wanted to show off: "Brother Jing'an, your little brother just moved."
He didn't notice Ning Jing'an's drastic change in expression.
He went to meet him joyfully.
"Who asked you to come here? What did you do to him?!"
Ning Jing'an snatched the egg from his hand and slammed him away with a cold face.
The blow was delivered without any mercy. Ning Fanyu lay on the ground in great pain, and was almost beaten to death.
"I don't have... nothing..." Ning Fanyu opened his mouth and spat out blood all over the floor.
"When did I say he could touch Ayuan?"
When the servants saw Ning Jing'an getting angry, they all knelt on the ground in panic: "Master Yu only took care of the young master for the whole afternoon, and did not do anything to harm the young master."
Ning Jing'an just left with the thing that couldn't even give birth and had to stay in the egg, without even giving a glance to him who was beaten half to death.
When he was a child, he could still deceive himself and others, saying that Brother Jing'an was just like that.
But ever since Ning Yuan was born from that egg, he realized that although they were both younger brothers, Brother Jing'an always treated Ning Yuan very differently.
That fool doesn't need to do anything to get all the love from Brother Jing'an.
No matter how hard he tried to please, he still looked like a ridiculous clown.
There is also Ning Zhuting. Although he doesn't talk much, this taciturn and indifferent man will bring gifts to Ning Ning in various ways every time he comes back, and carefully carries his younger brother on his shoulders.
But he has never had anything, and has always been an awkward outsider, watching from behind, wishing that everything he wanted could be within reach.
He never dared to snatch anything from Ning Yuan.
Even if the remaining things that Ning Yuan didn't want were given to him, Ning Jing'an would look at them coldly to see if he had snatched those from Ning Yuan.
Ning Zhuting did not even try to hide his hostility towards him.
Why? He is also from the Ning family.
The feeling of unwillingness was growing wildly. Later, he was only attentive in front of Ning Jing'an, but he could make the useless Ning Yuan cry with just a few words, and even made him dare not complain.
"Since you can't hold back, are you missing your uncle too much? Why don't I send you to live with your biological parents?"
Ning Jing'an still smiled gently, and his palm fell on Ning Fanyu's head for the first time.
Ning Fanyu had envied his brother countless times for touching his head affectionately, but when Ning Jing'an's hand really fell on his head, he felt only endless coldness.
Ning Jing'an has a cold body, and because she is worried that his hands will get cold, she warms them with a heater every time she touches her brother's head.
The little golden man is a crybaby and his eyes are often swollen from crying. His fingers are like natural ice compresses.
He wants to send himself to the Eastern Wasteland!!!
Ning Fanyu's teeth chattered instantly because of the icy cold above his head.
"After all, my uncle is old. From now on, you, Fan Yu, will take over the business of Donghuang. It will also be convenient for you to show your talents."
Ning Jing settled his high-sounding speech, which was also addressed to the elders of the clan.
