The next day

Holy Academy.

"Good news, good news!"

Tian Feipeng returned to the dormitory and said to Du Ning and Fu Yue: "The Kong family mourning was held, saying that Kong Chengting suddenly died yesterday. Now the entire Kong family has hung white silk and decorated a mourning hall to handle the funeral for Kong Chengting."

"Is Kong Chengting dead?"

Fu Yue's face changed, and the grand Grand Secretary suddenly died suddenly. This was indeed good news and also very shocking news.

"Why did he die suddenly?" Du Ning asked calmly.

"According to the identification of the great scholar of the doctor, it is because it is extremely angry in a short period of time, and the qi and blood are shattered, and it is broken there and not connected in one breath, so..."

When Tian Feipeng said this, he shook his head helplessly, but the corners of his mouth raised, and he couldn't help but want to laugh.

"What made him so angry?" Du Ning asked again.

Tian Feipeng said angrily: "Does this still need to be asked? It must be Kong Chengting who knew that the saints had decided to abolish the privileges of the saints' families through your proposal, so he died in extreme anger."

"What happened like this?"

Du Ning's face changed. According to Tian Feipeng's words, it seemed quite reasonable.

Fu Yue sneered: "It's a pity that he hadn't gone to the Three Realms City to make meritorious service and atone for his sins. He died suddenly at this time... However, he can also bear the stigma of his unsuccessful Grand Secretary."

Du Ning said: "Kong Chengting is the Grand Secretary of the Kong family after all. Since the Kong family has been mourned, we as experienced people should reluctantly take into account the feelings of our former comrades to pay our respects. I wonder what the two brothers think?"

"Brother Du's heart is a gentleman, we should go with you." Tian Feipeng said.

Fu Yue had no objection, "In personal principle, we may not go to the Kong family to pay condolences, but Kong Chengting has gone after all, and some of our holidays and grievances with him should also disappear. Kong Chengting must hate you, but it is indeed a bit pitiful to leave so inexplicably."

"Hateful people also have pitiful things, and they make people laugh."

Du Ning laughed helplessly, not only a mockery of Kong Chengting, but also a regret for him.

…………

After a little preparation, the three of them walked to the Kong family to pay their respects to Kong Chengting.

In the mourning hall, many scholars from the Holy Family came, all of whom came to express their feelings on behalf of each family.

The scholars of the Kong family received Du Ning and the other two according to etiquette and asked them to sautify Kong Chengting.

At this time, Du Ning found that a few scholars from the Kong family cast resentful eyes at him, the look and resentment, as if they were looking at a murderer.

"This guy is so shameless that he dares to come and burn incense for Brother Chengting!"

"That's it! Our Brother Chengting was killed by him. He came to our Kong family to pay his respects. If Brother Chengting knew about it, he was afraid that he would be unable to rest in peace."

"A person like this is worthy of being the human race Wenjun? Bullshit!"

Some of the Kong family members started to talk in a low voice, although they were whispering, but they deliberately let Du Ning hear it.

Du Ning thought to himself, guessing that maybe as Tian Feipeng analyzed, it was precisely because the saints decided to abolish the privileges of the aristocratic family that Kong Chengting was so angry that he did not catch up and died suddenly in the Kong family.

Therefore, some of the Kong family's scholars looked at Du Ning with the eyes of the murderer, using this as a reason to kill him on the spot and forcibly put all his hatred on this reason.

Tian Feipeng and Fu Yue showed a little anger on their faces. These people deliberately spoke without any restraint, which was clearly angering Du Ning. Once Du Ning really fell into a trap, they might make a big fuss in the mourning hall.

Death is the greatest. If Du Ning makes a big fuss here, it will be a huge blow to his literary name.

"You are so arrogant!"

Suddenly, a Hanlin from the Kong family came out and scolded those people: "You guys are so rude. Yun Qijun was able to come to the Confucius Mansion to pay his respects because he came to Chengting to pay tribute to Chengting when he was a veteran of Kong Chengting in the past. If it were someone else, would you see if anyone would come!"

"You have not only lost the truth in slandering Yun Qijun, but also lost the face of our Kong family. What you just said just now, how dare you say it again in front of Yun Qijun!"

Those people lowered their heads and did not dare to say a word.

Du Ning glanced at the Hanlin and found that it was Kong Chengshun, who had met once.

I remember when I first came to Kongcheng, when Kong Cheng'an was about to fight with him, Kong Chengshun came to persuade him, but Kong Cheng'an refused to listen and insisted on his own actions.

It was that time that Du Ning left an impression of Kong Chengshun.

Kong Chengshun then bowed to Du Ning and said, "Mr. Yun Qi, I'm so sorry. They are all ignorant people. Our Kong family will definitely teach them a lesson by mastering the law. Please don't be as good as them. We should be grateful if you can come to our Kong family to pay homage to Kong Chengting."

Tian Feipeng and Fu Yue's faces eased a lot, and they looked like a scholar should have.

"We have fulfilled our etiquette and dedication here. Since the Kong family does not welcome us, we will leave immediately without disturbing us. Let's say goodbye."

Du Ning bowed to Kong Chengshun and turned around and left the Kong family.

Tian Feipeng and Fu Yue swept through many Kong family members and left behind Du Ning.

Kong Chengshun's face changed and he hurriedly said, "Mr. Du, please stay, we don't mean that..."

But Du Ning had already walked outside the door.

At this moment, a sarcastic voice sounded: "Yun Qijun is indeed Yun Qijun. You can come whenever you want and leave whenever you want. It seems that you don't take the Kong family seriously!"

The speaker also walked from the door to the mourning hall.

Du Ning glanced at this person and found that it was Ke Changzhi, a great scholar from the Ke family, who came here with some scholars from the Ke family, and he should have come to the Kong family to pay his respects.

As soon as Ke Changzhi came to the Kong family, he said something that was extremely provoked by Du Ning and the Kong family. If it was spread, those who didn't know would think Du Ning came to make a big fuss in the mourning hall.

Du Ning's face showed disgust and quickly passed by the other party.

Not only Du Ning, but also Tian Feipeng and Fu Yue looked at Ke Changzhi as if they were looking at a villain.

Ke Changzhi stood there in a daze. Seeing the three of them disgusted with him, it was difficult to accept that they actually despised him so much. He immediately became angry and shouted sternly: "Rareless, what is your attitude? Don't you take me, a great scholar seriously!"

"I really don't take you seriously."

Du Ning didn't look back and his tone was cold, as if he was dominating the world.

Ke Changzhi's face stagnated.

"That's right, why do we take you seriously? Give you a face?"

"What are you a disgusting person here?"

Tian Feipeng and Fu Yue directly mocked Ke Changzhi's dignity directly trampled on his feet, and did not treat him as a great scholar at all.

"What did you say! Say it again!"

"You dare not respect the great scholars. You are so arrogant!"

"You guys are rude!"

The scholars of the Ke family scolded each other, unable to bear the humiliation of the three of them.

But at this time, the three of them had already gone further and it was difficult for them to chase them out.

What's more, Tian Feipeng and Fu Yue are both children of aristocratic families and are also people of great backgrounds. It is not wise to offend them at the same time.

Ke Changzhi was furious and said to the Kong family: "Look, this is the scholar of Yun Kingdom, Yun Qijun of our human race, and the scholars with him are so lawless, it's really outrageous!"

Most of the Kong family looked at Ke Changzhi with disapproval. It seemed that your temper was not much better. They were not polite to Du Ning. They still hope Du Ning respects you?

I'm thinking too much about relying on my seniority?

Kong Chengshun sighed and said helplessly: "This matter is blamed on my Kong family for being unfair. After the funeral of Chengting Court, my Kong family should come to the door to apologize to Yun Qi."

"you……"

Ke Changzhi looked at Kong Chengshun, but unexpectedly someone in the Kong family turned his elbow out, completely forgetting how Kong Chengting died.

"Since Mr. Ke is here, please give Chenggong a stick of incense!" Kong Chengshun spoke.

"It should be."

Ke Changzhi nodded slightly, feeling even more angry with Du Ning, thinking that he must have to find an opportunity to find his place.

However, this opportunity will be available soon.

A proud light flashed in Ke Changzhi's eyes.

…………

A few days later, Kong Chengting was buried in peace.

When the Kong family demolished the mourning hall, Kong De appointed Kong Chengshun to bring several Kong family students and bring some gifts to Du Ning's dormitory.

Du Ning immediately prepared tea and entertainment.

"Mr. Du, on behalf of the Kong family, we apologize to you for the rude things that happened a few days ago. At the same time, we also brought some things to celebrate your congratulations for accepting the canonization of the throne ceremony."

Kong Chengshun put down the gift box. Even if he didn't take it apart, Du Ning could guess that the gifts in it must be precious, and it may be treasured by a noble family.

After all, the enthronement of Wenjun is a rare ceremony for the human race. As the most holy family, the Kong family is definitely not stingy.

"Thank you for your kindness in the Kong family. I am so sorry for your care."

Du Ning immediately bowed and thanked him, and happily accepted the gift. Kong Chengshun and others immediately returned the gift, saying that they did not dare.

It is now after February 20th, and the first day of March is coming. Any family with a strong reputation in the human race will send gifts to the emperor.

Du Ning either refused to accept the family or the outside, or accepted it as a letter. After the ceremony of bans, he replaced the gifts from the families and gave them back.

So Du Ning of course chose the latter, because the latter is the best way to deal with human relationships and worldly affairs. Only by respecting the relationship can one make peace appear to be the most important thing for all families, and will not leave others with the possibility of attacking the literary name.
