After reading my mind, all the villains in the family are in trouble

(Two in one chapter, 4400 words long chapter)

I ordered the very famous local Chengshui Douhua. It is said that it is a food that my father has been accustomed to eating since he was a child, but it is not available in Huyingcheng.

While Ning Zhishui was eating, he listened to the other diners in the shed discussing their own affairs.

Sure enough, his parents were hiding something from him.

When dealing with relatives, it seems that the default rule is to report good news but not bad news. In the past few days, every time Ning Zhishui asked about the Ning family's affairs, his parents said everything went well.

Ning Zhishui thought it was nothing at the time. After all, his grandfather Ning Zhongfeng was dead, and the cousin who had a competitive relationship with his father was also dead. It seemed that no one would go against them anymore.

It seems that is not the case now. Perhaps the turmoil in the Ning family has spread. Some people think that the new leader of the Ning family is a soft persimmon, so they want to come and snatch things that belong to the Ning family.

Ning Zhishui listened for a while and finally figured out the origin of the Cen family.

The Cen family's headquarters is in the neighboring city of Muyuan City. They also have influence in Beiyu City, and their development has been pretty good in recent years.

Coincidentally, the Cen family's business is the same as that of the Ning family, both related to minerals and refining materials, so there has always been competition.

He was probably coveting the Ning family's long-established business and wanted to take it for himself, so he chose to take action when the Ning family was at its weakest. This was because he believed that Ning Cheng was not as tough as Ning Zhongfeng.

Ning Zhishui finished her meal and sat down to add a pot of tea. After hearing enough, Shi Shiran paid and left.

She did not go home, but walked in the opposite direction to the Ning family and came to a shop called "Linlang Trading Company".

The shop was doing well, with monks coming and going. Ning Zhishui was greeted as soon as he stepped in.

"Do you have any requests?"

It happened that the shopkeeper saw off a customer, and when he had time, he saw Ning Zhishui dressed unusually, so he asked with a smile.

In fact, Ning Zhishui's dress is not outstanding. She does not need these decorations to improve herself. There are no tricks and the style is just ordinary.

It's just that the fabric of the clothes is of good quality, the price is not low, and the shopkeeper knows the goods well, so he pays special attention to her as a customer.

"I'm here to sell something, you set a price."

As Ning Zhishui spoke, he took something out of the Qiankun bag.

First a material, then a material.

Both of these are mid-to-high-end refining materials and are of high quality, so there is no need to worry about finding buyers.

The shopkeeper's eyes brightened, "These two medicinal materials are good, I..."

As he spoke, he stared straight at another thing that Ning Zhishui had just brought up.

"Yeah, this isn't for sale."

Ning Zhishui seemed to have accidentally taken out a magic weapon and quickly put it back.

It was a pale pink umbrella with jade-colored ribs and intertwined patterns on the umbrella surface, which was very delicate.

Although it was just a quick glance, the shopkeeper was still moved in his heart and hurriedly said: "Is that a defensive weapon?"

"Yes." Ning Zhishui smiled, "But I don't plan to sell that one yet. I will only sell these two materials today."

Although this material is not bad, the shopkeeper has never seen it before, so why would he take it seriously?

In comparison, the umbrella-shaped magic weapon that Ning Zhishui accidentally took out was exquisite and eye-catching!

As a qualified shopkeeper, if you give up at this time, it will be called unqualified.

So the shopkeeper quoted a price for these two materials. The price was very fair. After that, he said: "Our shop has a good reputation and the price is very fair. It will definitely be more suitable than selling it to other shops." , why don’t you sell the magic weapon to me too, don’t worry, you will definitely be satisfied with my price.”

Ning Zhishui seemed a little moved, but still shook his head, "Forget it, I plan to give it to a friend, so I won't sell it."

"Can you show me first?" the shopkeeper said.

Ning Zhishui hesitated for a moment before taking out the umbrella-shaped magic weapon.

After taking a closer look, the shopkeeper became even more excited.

This magic weapon is undoubtedly suitable for women. What a coincidence, isn't it? The birthday of my boss’s fourth lady is coming soon.

The boss had originally told him to keep an eye out for anything that could be a gift for the lady, and to get it regardless of the cost.

The fourth young lady is the most talented person in the Cen family. She is used to seeing good things and is very picky. Ordinary objects are not attractive to her at all.

But Ning Zhishui's piece is very unique. Not only does it look beautiful, but the materials used are also very sophisticated. It is perfect for the fourth lady!

Anyway, if you have an owner, you can buy it directly. If the owner is satisfied, you will have made a contribution. If not, it doesn't matter, you can sell it in the shop.

So at this moment, the shopkeeper made a decision——

Whatever you say, buy it!

In the worst case, just pay a little more, and it doesn't hurt to pay a premium.

"The materials used are jade locust stone, ice soul crystal... good materials." The shopkeeper praised while looking at it, "Okay, I'll give you 20,000 crystal stones, what do you think?"

Because there is deliberately room for bargaining, the price is considered to be 90% of the market price.

The shopkeeper knows human nature. If the price is too high at the beginning, the other party will ask for a sky-high price.

So give room for bargaining, so both of you are better off.

Ning Zhishui was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then shook his head, "I'm sorry, I really don't plan to sell it."

The shopkeeper became anxious now and made a gesture of gritting his teeth, "This price is easily negotiable. If you are not satisfied...then let it be twenty-five thousand."

Ning Zhishui still shook his head, "I really don't want to sell it. Please pay me the money for these two materials first."

Anyway, the prices here are quite fair and she doesn't lose anything.

The shopkeeper was so worried that his back teeth hurt, and he couldn't help but gritted his teeth, "How about this, if you buy another one of the things in my shop for your friend, I will give you a discount on the price! I really appreciate this one. If you like it, just sell it to me."

"You like it?" Ning Zhishui was confused.

"Yes, my daughter is about to have her birthday, and this looks like something she likes. As a father, I usually haven't been able to spend time with her, and now I just want to make her happy." The shopkeeper pretended to be serious, "Just send me a message Please be kind and help me.”

Ning Zhishui was silent for a moment, then shook his head.

The shopkeeper's heart felt cold.

Yes, he finally figured it out. Ning Zhishui really didn't intend to sell it, rather than being dissatisfied with the low price.

This makes people powerless.

But the shopkeeper wanted to give it one last try.

"Ahem, 30,000 crystal stones, okay?" He added it all at once, "This is the limit I can give you."

Maybe offering a high price can impress her?

Ning Zhishui shook her head apologetically, "I'm so sorry, I won't sell it."

The shopkeeper looked disappointed, but heard Ning Zhishui continue to say——

"Because this magic weapon was tailor-made for my friend, and I don't want to give it to anyone else except her."

The shopkeeper suddenly raised his head, his voice almost cracking, "What did you say?? Did you refine it yourself?"

He looked at the magic weapon in disbelief, and then at Ning Zhishui.

The magic weapon is of yellow level, but it has almost reached the peak of yellow level, and its exquisiteness is even more extraordinary.

The Fourth Miss is still young, and her cultivation level is there. Now she has reached the limit with yellow-level magic weapons. Even if she has Xuan-level weapons, she can't use them, and her spiritual energy can't support them. Therefore, it can be said that this defensive weapon is the best choice for the fourth lady’s cultivation!

But this little girl actually refined such a magic weapon herself?

"Yes." Ning Zhishui nodded, "I made it. I am a weapon refiner. Can't you tell?"

"You can't tell... No, this is not important. Then are you willing to refine one for Si... for my daughter? Don't worry, the price is negotiable." The shopkeeper's face turned red and he became excited again, "Ten thousand For the refining fee, you write the order for the materials, I will be responsible for them all, and the rest will be yours, how about that?"

"I may not be able to promise you this now." Ning Zhishui was a little embarrassed, "I can't stay in the city for a few days, and I may not have enough time. But I will consider it, and I will take your order if I am free."

"Of course, let's exchange transmission notes. By the way, do you have a place to stay these days? The inn not far away is also our owner's property. If you go and stay, you won't accept the spar." The shopkeeper followed up and said.

Ning Zhishui looked wary, "Thank you... but forget it, I have my own place to live, and I can exchange it for the sound transmission."

Although the shopkeeper is very anxious, he is also afraid that if he acts too eagerly, he will look like a bad person and scare Ning Zhishui.

So I had to suppress my excitement and agreed.

Ning Zhishui exchanged the transmission talismans, took the money from selling the materials, and left the shop.

"Go, send someone to follow her and see where she lives."

The shopkeeper hurriedly called a waiter and whispered to him, "Follow her for the past few days. Report any movements she makes in a timely manner."

The guy responded and hurried off.

After the guy left, a steward in the shop came up and asked, "Brother Sun, is this okay?"

"What else can we do if we don't do this? If such a young and powerful weapon refiner can be taken under the boss's command, then we will definitely be highly praised by the boss! If her level can continue to provide magic weapons for our shop, then Don’t worry, you can’t beat the Ning family!”

Yes, after the steward learned that Ning Zhishui not only owned magical weapons, but could also refine them, he not only planned to buy things from her, but also made plans for her as a person.

"But with her talent, she must have some power, right? Can someone be poached?" the steward asked.

"What's wrong with belonging? Even if you have a sect, can't you make some extra money? Cooperation is easy to discuss."

The specific length of time to refine a magical weapon can be agreed upon by both parties. Even if one is used every two months, it is better than nothing, right?

Anyway, let’s decide on the person first!

Ning Zhishui left the shop and walked around Beiyu City, seemingly curious about everything.

Walk around here, look there, and even go into some shops to have a look.

The guy didn't dare to get too close for fear of being discovered by Ning Zhishui and annoy her, so he just watched her whereabouts from a distance.

I don't know what she did or said when she entered the shop.

But what made the guy a little nervous was that Ning Zhishui actually entered the Ning family's shop!

The Cen family and the Ning family were enemies. Even the waiters regarded the Ning family as their enemies. After seeing this, they couldn't help but feel nervous for the shopkeeper.

However, there was nothing unusual about Ning Zhishui's visit to Ning's shop. Just like other shops, it seemed like he only walked around for a while before leaving.

The man breathed a sigh of relief.

It was getting late, and Ning Zhishui checked into an inn. The waiter waited for an hour without seeing her come out again, and then went back to report to the steward in detail.

"Walking around and staying in an inn, but not doing anything serious... It can be seen that she is not from Beiyu City. She came here to wait for someone." After hearing this, the manager made a conclusion, "You will keep an eye on her when you get back. Let’s see who she meets, and if she wants to leave Beiyu City after the meeting, please inform me in time.”

"Yes."

"You said she went to Ning's shop today? Did she stay long?"

"It's not that long, it's about the same as going to other places."

"That should be just a coincidence. But you should pay more attention. If she still has contact with the Ning family, tell me immediately."

"Yes!"

"Okay, go and guard in front of the inn, don't get distracted. If you lose someone, I will only ask you!"

"Yes, little one, go right here."

Ning Zhishui stayed at the inn until the afternoon of the next day and never showed up.

This made the waiters a little anxious, and they couldn't help but wonder if the person was still here, or if he would leave quietly at some point.

Fortunately, she went out in the evening and met someone in the teahouse.

The person was a middle-aged woman with an unattractive appearance. Her face was a bit unfamiliar, and the clerk didn't recognize her.

After meeting, Ning Zhishui returned to the inn.

The waiter waited for another half an hour and saw someone entering the inn!

When he saw this person, the clerk couldn't help but feel nervous, because he had already recognized him. This person was clearly the shopkeeper of one of the Ning family's shops - Fu Zhou!

This inn is quite big, and people come and go from time to time. Logically speaking, it is normal no matter who comes or goes, but the waiter is still a little nervous.

Ning Zhishui is here, and Fu Zhou is also here. The two of them... won't have any contact, right?

Hey, it seems that one of the shops that Ning Zhishui entered yesterday was the one where Fu Zhou was?

The shopkeeper told him to keep an eye on him in case Ning Zhishui comes into contact with the Ning family!

I just don’t know if Fu Zhou’s arrival has anything to do with Ning Zhishui? Or is it just that I am too sensitive?

No matter, let’s report it first.

So the waiter didn't dare to leave. Instead, he sent out a transmission note and briefly told the shopkeeper about the situation here.

The shopkeeper was a little nervous after hearing this, but he was not sure about the situation at this time, so he just told him, "Keep an eye on it and tell me any new trends."

So the guy continued to stare.

Fortunately, Fu Zhou left after only a quarter of an hour, but Ning Zhishui was nowhere to be seen.

Both the clerk and the shopkeeper thought they were overthinking it, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

However, Ning Zhishui's meeting with the middle-aged female cultivator today still made the steward think...

If Ning Zhishui came here just to meet this person, then now that he has also met, Ning Zhishui shouldn't leave tomorrow, right?

So the steward hurriedly sent a communication note to Ning Zhishui, asking her how her stay in the city was, whether she was familiar with the roads, and if she needed guidance or help. He would be happy to oblige.

After Ning Zhishui said no, he took the opportunity to ask about the custom-made magic weapon and wanted to make an appointment with Ning Zhishui tomorrow.

"I have two days, but I need to meet your daughter before customizing. I must know her personal preferences and needs, otherwise I will not accept customization, which will ruin my reputation." Ning Know the way of water.

The steward quickly reported the situation to his employer, and after some agreement, it was settled——

We have an appointment to have dinner at a restaurant at noon tomorrow. The owner, Mr. Cen, and his daughter, Miss Fourth, will meet Ning Zhishui and personally recruit her at the dinner table.

A teenage Huang-level weapon master is worthy of Master Cen's sight.

Even if it's not for solicitation, but just to ask her to make a good magic weapon for her daughter as a birthday gift and to please her, this trip is still necessary.

But everything was going well, but something suddenly disrupted it!

The waiter reported that in the morning, the steward of the Ning family, Chenghai, came to the inn in person. He came down shortly after his arrival, but the person who came down with him was Ning Zhishui!

Then, the two of them walked together and chatted happily, but looking at the direction they were going, it was clear that--

Ning Mansion!

When the news reached Mr. Cen's ears, he couldn't sit still for an instant.

Hello Ningcheng! I just fell in love with such a genius, and you caught my eye!

Do you want to steal people from me?
