Ji Tianxing frowned and could no longer remain silent.
He stared at the other party indifferently and asked, "I'm just here to be a guest at Ning's house. Are you thinking too much?"
Mr. Duanmu shook his folding fan again, and the smile on his face became even more playful.
"Hehehe... Before I could explain clearly what it was about, you rejected it outright.
It can be seen from this that you have already had the idea of reaching the sky in your mind.
Otherwise, you shouldn’t have this reaction but be confused.”
No matter how well-mannered and well-mannered Ji Tianxing was, he couldn't help but laugh angrily at him, and said with a joking face: "I am strong-willed when I have no desires, but you are so anxious that you are jumping up and down, obviously not confident.
No matter what you mean by reaching the sky in one step.
Those are all your wishful thinking, and I don't bother to argue with you.
There is no force in this world that is worthy of my favor."
These words were very merciless.
Mr. Duanmu's face immediately darkened, and he sneered contemptuously: "Hahaha... It turns out that he is from a small family from a remote town, and he is so ignorant and frivolous.
Since you don't have any thoughts of being like a dragon and a phoenix, why do you still stay in the Ning family?
Only if you leave the Ning family can you prove that you really have no distracting thoughts!"
Hearing this, Ji Tianxing couldn't help but roll his eyes.
"Young man, such a clumsy way of provoking a general is really hard to look at.
You are so childish and ridiculous, you have really lost your good skin.
Of course, in my opinion, your skin is nothing but mediocre..."
"You!" Mr. Duanmu was stimulated one after another, and his anger suddenly arose again. He couldn't help but stand up, and was about to slam the table and get angry.
But just then.
The voices of guards and maids sounded at the door of the hall.
"See the head of the family!"
"Greetings, Miss!"
There is no doubt that Ning Qinggang and Ning Siyuan are here.
Mr. Duanmu quickly suppressed his anger and resumed his calm, indifferent and arrogant attitude.
Everyone turned to look at the entrance of the hall.
I saw a tall and majestic middle-aged man wearing a purple robe stepping into the hall.
This man is more than ten feet tall, as strong as an iron tower, his limbs are particularly thick and well-developed, and he exudes a strong and brave spirit.
He has a square forehead and a broad face, and under his thick eyebrows like swords, there is a pair of big dark blue copper bell eyes.
He stepped into the hall with great strides, bowed to Master Ji Tianxing and Master Duanmu with cupped fists, and said in a loud voice: "I was delayed because of something just now. I'm really sorry for keeping the two Masters waiting for so long."
Obviously, this majestic purple-robed man is the contemporary head of the Ning family, Ning Qinggang.
Following Ning Qinggang was a graceful figure.
She is tall, well-proportioned, and full of youth and vitality.
Tonight, she made an exception and did not wear silver armor, but actually wore an ice blue dress.
Her long hair was also tied up in a high bun, and she was paired with gorgeous and exquisite hairpins and headdresses, which added to her dignified and noble look.
She is the eldest lady of the Ning family, Ning Siyuan.
Seeing Ning Qinggang and his daughter entering the main hall, Mr. Duanmu stood up quickly, returned the greeting with a smile, and said: "Uncle Ning is so polite, my nephew is like a spring breeze."
Ji Tianxing didn't say much, just nodded to Ning Qinggang.
When he looked at Mr. Duanmu, he found that on the surface this man was chatting with Ning Qinggang, but in fact he was peeking at Ning Siyuan.
Moreover, deep in the eyes of this person, there is obviously a hint of admiration and affection.
After the two parties exchanged greetings, they sat down one after another.
Ning Qinggang sat in the main seat, and Mr. Duanmu and Ji Tianxing sat in the guest seats on the left and right respectively.
But the location chosen by Ning Siyuan is intriguing.
Originally, she could sit at the bottom, away from Ning Qinggang, Duanmu and Ji Tianxing.
Mr. Duanmu was very attentive and took the initiative to invite her to sit next to him.
But she smiled and shook her head and declined.
Immediately, she sat down next to Ji Tianxing.
Seeing this scene, Mr. Duanmu was startled for a moment, and a trace of disappointment clearly flashed in his eyes.
Ji Tianxing saw it clearly and probably understood the reason.
"No wonder this little brat mocks me whenever we meet.
Apparently, he thought I was also pursuing Ning Siyuan and wanted me to give up before the difficulties?
Hahaha... so childish and ridiculous!"
Ji Tianxing shook his head secretly and couldn't help but sigh.
Ning Siyuan, who was standing by, looked at the situation and asked in a calm tone: "Master Tianxing, what's the matter? Why are you shaking your head and sighing?"
Ning Qinggang also looked at him with a questioning look.
Before Ji Tianxing could answer, Mr. Duanmu smiled and explained: "Sister Siyuan is worrying too much. I guess the dinner tonight is too sumptuous and the dishes prepared by your house are too exquisite.
Mr. Tianxing comes from Qingshan City and is used to rough and bold food, so he must be a little uncomfortable with it, so he shook his head and sighed."
Who here can’t understand such blatant sarcasm?
Ji Tianxing glanced at Duanmu expressionlessly, not even bothering to say anything in defense.
Ning Qinggang looked at Ji Tianxing and then at Duanmu, frowning secretly, feeling a little worried.
Ning Siyuan looked directly at Duanmu and said in a neither humble nor arrogant tone: "The second son is too worried. Mr. Tianxing is from Qingshan City, but he is not from Qingshan City. There is no such thing as food taste.
Moreover, the second son has a distinguished status and a transcendent status.
Siyuan comes from a humble background and cannot afford the second son to call me sister, so you should call me Miss Ning."
This clearly shows alienation.
Mr. Duanmu's face suddenly became a little unnatural, and he smiled and said, "Miss Siyuan is joking. In front of you and Uncle Ning, how can there be any royal prince?"
Ji Tianxing probably understood.
This Young Master Duanmu is a descendant of the royal family of the Blood Flame God.
He should be the second son of a certain prince, so he is called the second son.
This person had a good relationship with the Ning family and admired Ning Siyuan very much.
It even seems to be a bit inevitable.
Otherwise, Ji Tianxing would not be regarded as a love rival as soon as he saw him.
It's a pity that Ning Siyuan is not interested in the second son.
At this time, Ning Qinggang came out to smooth things over, and said with a smile: "Second son, Mr. Tianxing, I originally planned to entertain you alone and cleanse the dust for you two.
But they happened to arrive on the same day, and I have been busy with work recently, so I ignored them.
No matter what, you are all young people, so you should have something in common and get along well.
I am here, I would like to propose a toast to both of you, and welcome you to the Ning family."
Ning Qinggang picked up the spirit wine and drank it in one gulp.
Ji Tianxing, Duanmu and Ning Siyuan all picked up their wine cups and drank them in silence.
After putting down the wine cup, Mr. Duanmu said with a smile: "Uncle Ning, my nephew came here this time because of Concubine Ning's instructions.
Not only did I come to visit you and Miss Siyuan, I also brought many gifts for Concubine Ning, which I will give to you later.
In addition, my nephew learned from Concubine Ning that next winter solstice will be a special day for Miss Siyuan.
My uncle should have understood my nephew's intentions long ago.
My nephew is willing to give everything he has and try his best to help Miss Siyuan break through to the realm of the emperor."
