Jiang Chen learned from his memory that Ning Mansion was divided into four courtyards in the east, south, west and north.
The east courtyard is where he is now, and where every heir of the Ning Mansion lives.
The other three houses were given to his father's brothers, that is, his uncles.
The second uncle lives in the west courtyard, but he and his father have the same father, and the relationship between them is not good.
The current head of the Ning Mansion is Ning Chen's grandfather, but after what happened in Black Dragon City, he has not shown up. He said he was recovering from illness and has not seen anyone.
The west courtyard is now very aggressive and has bad intentions.
"Hello, aunt."
A young man of seventeen or eighteen years old barged in unscrupulously. He was dressed in a white brocade robe, tall and straight, with extraordinary appearance, but when his thin lips were pursed, he looked a bit aggressive and mean.
"Ning Jian, it was you who led people into the east courtyard?" Gao Yue said coldly, with an invisible majesty looming on his body.
Jiang Chen next to him guessed that his mother was no ordinary woman.
But Ning Jian didn't notice it and chuckled: "Auntie, the East Courtyard has always been the residence of the next heir of the Ning Mansion. Now that the uncle has been captured and Ning Chen has been deposed, there is no one in the uncle's lineage. Should the place be moved out?
ah?"
"Move out?" Jiang Chen didn't expect that he would encounter such a thing when he first came to this world.
This Ning Jian grew up with the former Ning Chen, but their relationship has never been good, and he has to compete with Ning Chen in everything.
Even if they can't compete, they will be ridiculed and provoked in various ways.
"Are you going to move as soon as you say?" Gao Yue asked.
"Auntie, the reason is very simple. Without my uncle, the position of the head of the family cannot be passed on to this useless person who has been deprived of his meridians. Even if you give birth to another child, it will still be my uncle's seed, but he is imprisoned in the Black Dragon Abyss."
"presumptuous!"
Hearing him carelessly talking about his sadness, Gao Yue stood up suddenly, waved his sleeves, and strong wind swept away against the ground.
Ning Jian was unable to resist and was blown out of the door.
"Auntie, you..." Ning Jian was greatly frightened. He had always regarded Gao Yue as an ordinary woman and never thought she had such strength.
Jiang Chen was also surprised. In his memory, his mother, who married into the Ning Mansion, had never taken action.
"This is at least the strength of the Immortal Ascension Realm." Jiang Chen has never practiced, but his eyesight is extremely good.
No matter which plane the world is in, if mortals want to gain power, they must absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and concentrate it on themselves to continuously become stronger.
There is a realm system for distinguishing strong and weak in this process.
In Jiutian Continent, the most well-known ones are Qi Condensation Realm, Juyuan Realm, Divine Movement Realm, and Tongtian Realm.
The Qi Condensation Realm is the beginning for everyone. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth is gathered into the true energy and stored in oneself. From one to nine, until the ninth level of heaven where the true energy is boiling, one step further reaches the Yuan Yuan Realm.
"It's not your kid's turn to talk about adult matters! If you really want us to move, just let your father do it!" Gao Yue scolded mercilessly.
Ning Jian did not leave. He rolled his eyes and said, "Madam, maybe there is something wrong with my attitude, but did I say anything wrong? Even if you kill me, it won't change the decline of the East Courtyard."
These words were very poisonous. Gao Yue didn't know how to refute, and her shoulders trembled slightly.
Jiang Chen knew what he should do, got out of bed, and said loudly: "Ning Jian, I don't allow you to define whether I am a useless person or not."
"Ning Chen, it turns out you're awake. Your divine meridians have been taken away. The remaining meridians cannot support your cultivation. What achievements can you achieve?"
He didn't give Jiang Chen a chance to speak, and said: "I am now in the seventh heaven of Qi Condensation Realm. You used to be in the ninth heaven, but now you are in the second heaven!"
Ning Chen had reached the ninth level before, but his pulse was taken away, and his true energy was lost. His current state fell to the second level of Qi Condensation Realm.
"This is only temporary. No matter what the east courtyard is like, you don't deserve to make noise here!" Jiang Chen shouted.
Ning Jian was so angry that he suddenly laughed again and said slyly: "In half a month, it will be winter hunting. You are an adult and you have to participate. With your current state, everyone will know whether you have been hunted or not."
Waste."
"Really? We'll see then." Jiang Chen didn't mean to win over the opponent, but to drive away this annoying guy.
"Tough talk!"
Ning Jian curled his lips and walked away. He was not in a hurry. As he said just now, the winter hunting was about to begin.
That's when the show starts.
Jiang Chen is sixteen years old this year and has reached adulthood. If nothing unexpected happens, he will soon go hunting for the first time in winter.
However, as Ning Jian said, his current state is indeed similar to that of a useless person.
It would be very dangerous to hunt in winter without the sixth level of Qi Condensation Realm.
As soon as Ning Jian left, Gao Yue sat down tiredly.
"Mother, don't worry, I will never let you leave the east courtyard." Jiang Chen observed his mother's expression as he spoke and couldn't help but feel confused.
Gao Yue found that his son had changed from before, as if he had grown up overnight.
But think about it, after paying such a big price, it’s time to grow up.
Gao Yue thought bitterly.
"Don't worry, mother, I will definitely rescue father!" Jiang Chen said again.
Gao Yue opened her eyes wide and looked over in disbelief. What she saw on her son's face was an unprecedented determination.
Jiang Chen's current body has fragile meridians, and his state has dropped to the second level of Qi Condensation Realm.
But it doesn't matter, because Jiang Chen is no longer the original Ning Chen.
He comes from the Holy Domain, Lingtian Palace, and has countless secrets and treasures. More importantly, he knows them by heart. The reason why he memorized those things that he couldn't use in the first place was to understand the strengths and weaknesses and to help those around him in battle.
I never thought I would be able to practice cultivation one day!

………
Ning Mansion is not a simple mansion surrounded by four courtyard walls, it covers an entire mountain city.
The four courtyards are respectively built at locations corresponding to the directions of the city and their names.
At this time, Ning Jian returned to the West Courtyard and told his father, Ning Tianxiong, the owner of the West Courtyard, what had just happened.
"Children are of no use, I cannot drive them away."
"I never thought about success, so don't worry about it. The purpose is to test your grandfather's reaction. It's just that the woman's cultivation is really surprising."
Ning Tianxiong is a very burly middle-aged man, wearing an animal robe, with a square face, a beard, full of wildness, and a pair of bright eyes.
He didn't realize how strong Gao Yue was. After all, his son was in the Qi Condensation realm and could blow away anyone.
"Testing grandpa's reaction?" Ning Jian looked over curiously.
"There is no one in the East Courtyard. For the sake of the development of the Ning family, your grandfather certainly hopes that I will inherit the Ning Mansion. He is afraid of others gossiping and is afraid of chilling the hearts of those in the East Courtyard, so he has been staying behind closed doors and not seeing anyone. At this time,
, it would be best for the East Campus to take the initiative to request."
Ning Jian said angrily: "But it seems that Ning Chen is determined to give up!"
"So what if you don't give up? We're eating away at the east courtyard's properties bit by bit. They all belong to the Ning Mansion anyway, and your grandfather won't have any objections. As for Ning Chen and Jian'er, the winter hunting will begin in half a month, so you should behave well then.
, making Ning Chen feel ashamed, and then I took the opportunity to ask your grandfather that from then on, we can move into the east courtyard."
"Dad, don't worry, my child is guaranteed to succeed."
Ning Jian is very confident that Jiang Chen does not pose any threat to him now.
