"Where's the blood?"

Everyone present was stunned by what they were witnessing.

They stared in disbelief at the long wound on Ni Kun's body—not a single drop of blood had flowed out!

As everyone was gripped by panic and chaos

"call!"

Ni Yongxiao swiftly made a move, and a bottle of golden ointment appeared in his hand without anyone noticing.

He skillfully opened the ointment and solemnly applied it to Ni Kun's wound, explaining to everyone, "Please don't panic, everyone. Ah Kun's physical condition is unusual; he has a very special constitution!"

Ni Yonggui, standing nearby, quickly chimed in, "That's right, Ah Kun's constitution is extremely rare. Furthermore, he took the rare medicine I brought back from the Western Regions, which keeps his blood tightly locked in his heart meridian, preventing it from easily leaking out!"

The crowd's expressions softened slightly after hearing this explanation.

"oh!"

One by one, the huge weight that had been hanging over their hearts finally lifted, and the doubts that had filled their hearts seemed to find an outlet, so they couldn't help but whisper and murmur among themselves.

"Tsk tsk, people with special physiques are truly rare. Ah Kun must be hiding some extraordinary ability!"

"That's right! That's right! We'd only heard about this special physique before, but seeing it with our own eyes today, it truly is extraordinary!"

"No wonder the patriarch values ​​him so highly; there's a good reason for it!"

"Trusting the head of the family's judgment is always the right thing to do!"

At this moment, everyone's gaze towards Ah Kun initially held a hint of probing, then suddenly brightened, their brows slowly relaxed, and finally transformed into complete acceptance and approval, as if to say—"The people around the patriarch are indeed extraordinary!"

At the same time, Ni Caiqi, who had been stunned by fear, moved.

"Um!"

He nodded repeatedly in agreement, muttering, "Brother Kun, you're the best! Thank you for saving me!"

Ni Kun's lips curled into a faint smile, then he gestured with his chin towards the direction where Ni Caiqi's parents were: "Go ahead, don't let your parents worry too much!"

Half a day passed.

After the crowd receded like the tide, the once noisy and bustling ancestral hall fell into a state of tranquility.

But a secret meeting is quietly taking place here.

Moreover, Ni Kun had already conveyed his intentions to Ni Yongxiao before the meeting.

First, he instructed Ni Yongxiao to arrange for Ni Caiqi's entire family to stay in Hong Kong, and at the same time, he specifically instructed Xiaoqi to play the role of a corpse.

Secondly, regarding Yong'an City, Ni Yonggui was arranged to go there and thoroughly reorganize the city after the ceremony.

Finally, after the fourth and sixth sons pleaded with him repeatedly, Ni Kun decided that Ni Yongren would not return to Yong'an City and would remain in the army to serve until he entered Heishan to atone for his crimes.

As the secret meeting of the second generation of the Ni family came to an end, time quietly slipped away.

As night fell, in the Ni family's secret chamber, Ni Kun sat upright beside an antique and elegant tea table...

His gaze was fixed on the shocking white wound on his arm, and he couldn't help but wonder, "Could it be that because there's not a trace of vital energy, I can't awaken the spiritual root hidden within me...?"

Just as he was deep in thought.

"Um!?"

A spark suddenly flashed through my mind, and with a thought, I instantly arrived in the eerie space.

At this moment.

Ni Kun stared at the scarlet, empty veins on the tree trunk, and an inexplicable intuition suddenly welled up in his heart.

It seems that only by using the "Pulling Up Seedlings to Help Them Grow" technique to enlighten oneself will this long-standing mystery be solved!

Just then.

"Father! Father!"

An urgent call pulled Ni Kun back to reality.

Immediately afterwards, two figures strode into the secret room; they were the brothers Ni Yongxiao and Ni Yonggui.

The two of them had joyful smiles on their faces, clearly in a very good mood.

After the two slowly sat down, they gently lifted the teapot and poured the boiling tea into their cups.

At the same time, she glanced at the wound on Ni Kun's arm without making a sound, but her face did not show much surprise or worry.

At this moment, although both of them were filled with questions, they did not ask them.

Yes, the two remained silent, exchanging only a knowing smile.

After all, for them, their father's safe return was the greatest comfort, and everything else seemed less important.

Even if there were no blood, and even if the person sitting in front of them were a ghost, they would still be a loved one they longed for day and night.

As the saying goes, no one knows a son better than his father, and Ni Kun naturally understood his sons' feelings at that moment.

"hehe!"

He looked at the two grown-up children in front of him, a slight smile of satisfaction on his lips.

Then, he slowly raised his injured arm, deliberately shaking the stark white wound, and frankly said, "To tell you the truth, even I don't know what happened!"

He paused briefly at this point... then added, "Perhaps, in a few more days, everything will come to light!"

The three then picked up their teacups and began to enjoy tea and chat.

"Father!"

After a moment's thought, Ni Yongxiao asked first, "After the ceremony, should we arrange the wedding for Ninth Sister and Feng Qingyue as soon as possible?"

Upon hearing this...

Ni Kun smiled knowingly and nodded without hesitation, "Yes, in the past, the sons of our Ni family all took wives and concubines. Now it's time for a happy occasion of a son-in-law coming to live with us!"

Then, he added, "If Qingyue has any ideas, we can let Ninth Sister marry him! We'll prepare a generous dowry; we can't let this son-in-law suffer!"

Upon hearing this, Ni Yonggui's eyes darted around... He teased, "Father, I've inquired beforehand, and Qingyue... seems much more comfortable living here than in his own dilapidated cave!"

Ni Kun glared at the sixth son, annoyed. "You little rascal! I know Qingyue was just being modest; he was mainly thinking about how Xiao Jiu is used to living at home!"

Ni Yonggui chuckled and nodded repeatedly, "I know! I know! But I can't bear to see Ninth Sister leave!"

When he saw Ni Kun give him a disapproving look, he quickly changed the subject: "Father, recently quite a few businessmen have been trying to establish a marriage alliance with our Ni family!"

Ni Yongxiao nodded repeatedly in agreement, adding, "Yes, it's not just those in business; even the retainers and centurions want to form marriage alliances with our Ni family. Some have even directly offered to become live-in sons-in-law!"

Upon hearing these words...

"Good! Very good!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Ni Kun immediately praised, "That's excellent!"

He then earnestly advised, "While family strength is important, the happiness of your descendants is the most important thing!"

The implication is that marriage alliances are acceptable, but the importance of having children and maintaining good relationships must be emphasized.

Seeing his two sons nod in agreement, indicating that they understood, Ni Kun took a small sip of the fragrant tea in his cup, savoring its refreshing aroma and feeling incredibly comfortable.

After a brief silence.

Ni Kun's gaze fell on Ni Yongxiao, and he brought up the incident of accidentally encountering the Crown Prince and Princess of Yue in the market.

"These people from the royal family, they come with ill intentions, those who come with good intentions don't!"

"We don't need to go out of our way to curry favor, but if they come to visit, we don't need to avoid them either. Let's just hope they don't cause any trouble in this port city!"

After saying this...

Ni Kun paused slightly, then said meaningfully, "Ah Xiao! Recall all the troops in the general's camp! Just in case!"

Then.

The father and his two sons then turned their conversation to some trivial matters of daily life, and they chatted happily in a very harmonious atmosphere.

And so, time passed by, and before we knew it, the tea had been changed three times.

Finally, as night deepened, all was quiet.

"Alright! That's enough for today!"

Ni Kun got up and ended the gathering.

A short while later, when he stepped into July Residence.
