Mysteries of Immortal Puppet Master

Chapter 1215: Chapter 466: Restless After Meeting the Madam Today (Part 2)

Zhu Guizhi observed his expression and added one last sentence: Please rest assured, Ning Zhuo, the entire process will involve signing a Divine Contract in advance to ensure safety.

Ning Zhuo furrowed his brow more tightly.

What safety are they ensuring? Can a Divine Contract ensure his safety?

What if the Zhu Family harbors some malicious intent?

Divine Contracts are not one hundred percent reliable.

Since it’s a contract, there must be loopholes that can be exploited. He has no need to take this risk.

Ning Zhuo’s nature dictates that he wouldn’t easily take such risks.

He is well-versed in Soul Searching Technique and has recently frequently used the Boat Burning Soul Crossing Technique, too aware of the great operational space within.

Once he does this, his situation would turn into a case of ”man is a knife, I am flesh.”

If he encounters someone with ill intentions, Ning Zhuo will undoubtedly pay a heavy price, possibly landing in a situation of no return.

This is not what wise people do!

Furthermore, publicly announcing their relationship is something he does not want.

Once publicly announced, it carries the suspicion of ”no silver here,” which would greatly damage his reputation in the Righteous Path. It would also signify to the public that his relationship with the Zhu Family is mediocre, or even negative.

This will add an unfavorable impact to his current situation.

He now has to deal with the issue of Gu Qing. Should he reveal such a flaw at this time, Gu Qing’s group will certainly seize this opportunity with shining eyes.

Facing Gu Qing and Zhao Hansheng, the pressure is already immense.

Ning Zhuo himself is at a disadvantageous position. Previously, framing Gu Qing was him leveraging strength against strength, taking advantage of the situation. To put it bluntly, he only took advantage of a sneak attack, catching Gu Qing off guard.

The solution proposed by Zhu Guizhi is absolutely unacceptable to Ning Zhuo.

Ning Zhuo smiled slightly and immediately expressed his interest in learning the Zhu Family’s Divine Summoning Technique. He mentioned that what he mastered was just the very basic first layer. Since the Zhu family has presented it, it represents negotiability.

Ning Zhuo: ”Mrs. Zhu, what do you think of this?”

As he spoke, Ning Zhuo took out a handful of Ghost Dao Golden Cores from his storage bag.

The Golden Cores scattered on the tabletop, spreading out, one-time golden light flashing, with intense ghost energy.

Zhu Guizhi’s expression slightly changed.

She, being a Golden Core level cultivator, immediately felt Ning Zhuo’s assertiveness from this action.

Ning Zhuo: ”If it’s not enough, I have more here.”

Ning Zhuo took out two handfuls.

A dozen Ghost Dao Golden Cores spread across the table, illuminating the room.

Zhu Guizhi’s breath slightly halted involuntarily.

Such immense wealth, held by a Foundation Establishment cultivator, and a young man in front of her, who is merely at the mid-stage Foundation Establishment level!

This compels her to reassess Ning Zhuo’s strength and his position within his power.

A dozen Ghost Dao Golden Cores are far more valuable than the ceremony gifts that Zhu Guizhi presented.

The strength demonstrated by her gift list now appears weak.

The astonishing financial prowess exhibited by Ning Zhuo also leads Zhu Guizhi to many associations. Momentarily, she feels somewhat parched.

Zhu Guizhi arranged the marriage for Zhu Fenxiang solely to maximize Zhu Fenxiang’s value and gain the greatest political benefit. Now, she sees another possibility in Ning Zhuo.

As long as Zhu Guizhi confirms: The union of Zhu Fenxiang and Ning Zhuo can provide her with more political benefits, then why not? Changing the original plan is not impossible.

Zhu Guizhi pondered for a moment and suddenly smiled: ”Young Master, such a grand gesture leaves me at a loss on how to respond. Could it be... these Golden Cores are betrothal gifts?”

She covered her lips with her sleeve, her gaze probing: ”Hehe, but in order to form a marriage alliance, both sides’ elders must meet and discuss in detail.”

She naturally continued: ”I am, however, quite unfamiliar with the situation of your family.”

Ning Zhuo’s smile gradually faded.

Zhu Guizhi still does not want to give up, but Ning Zhuo is not about to speak the truth.

Because the Ning Family’s power is not strong. If Ning Zhuo tells the truth, the result will not be good.
