Talking about his mother, Ning Chen asked his uncle a lot of questions.

He had no memory of his mother.

Su Jingyun passed away shortly after giving birth to him. Ning Chen was less than one year old at that time. How could he remember his mother's appearance?

Su Jingyi asked: "Chen'er, now you are also a Tiangang Realm expert, can you find out the cause of your mother's death?"

Hearing this, Ning Chen was slightly stunned. He stared at Su Jingyi and said, "Uncle, didn't my mother die because she suffered too much damage when giving birth to me, and the cold took over her bones?"

Su Jinghong asked: "Who said that?"

Ning Chen opened his mouth. That’s what the eunuchs and maids in the palace all said, isn’t it?

Su Jinghong said, "She must have had physical damage, but the imperial doctors in the palace are not quacks. They can just make some pills to replenish her vitality and she will recover. What's more, it's nonsense to say that she had a cold that penetrated her bones. A small cold could have taken her life. She was born in a martial arts family and had already reached the level of Jade Pill when she entered the palace. How could she have died from a cold?"

boom!
Ning Chen felt as if struck by lightning, and his mind went blank.

His mother had already reached the Jade Dan realm when she entered the palace. He had never heard anyone mention this before. He had thought that since his mother came from a martial arts family, she couldn't be an ordinary person. But he didn't expect that she had reached the Jade Dan realm at the age of eighteen or nineteen. She was definitely a martial arts genius.

"Your mother is not only beautiful, but also the one with the best cultivation talent in the Su family's history. After she entered the palace, it was thought that the Su family would rise because of this, but she passed away not long after you were born."

"At that time, I went to Kyoto City with your grandfather and others to inquire about the reason, but we couldn't even enter the gate of the imperial palace."

"You never had any doubts about the cause of your mother's death?"

Su Jingyi stared at Ning Chen and said.

Ning Chen looked ashamed because he had never doubted it.

Thinking about the miserable life he had led in the past, he was powerless even if he had doubts.

He always thought that his mother passed away because she was too weak and caught a cold that was incurable. Now, after hearing what his two uncles said, he felt that there was something strange about the cause of his mother's death.

But this time he came to Lizhou, he was afraid that he would have to stay there for a long time, and he didn't even know if he would have the chance to return to Kyoto. How could he investigate the cause of his mother's death?

Ning Chen clenched his fists tightly. Who killed his mother?
If his mother were still alive, he would definitely not live a "cowardly" life and be bullied everywhere.

noon.

Su Ting brought his youngest son Su Jingming back to the Su Mansion. Both of them were injured, and Su Jingming had a bruised face and nose.

The two first went to the main hall of the family to report the situation to Su Lin.

Everyone in the Su family was indeed waiting for news from the two of them. Seeing that Su Ting was pale and Su Jingming had a bruised face, it was no wonder that the Feng family had a dispute with Su Ting over the return of the betrothal gift and they had a fight.

"Ting'er, have you withdrawn?" Su Lin asked.

Su Ting's face was extremely ugly. He nodded and said, "Dad, I forced the betrothal gift back, but the Feng family was extremely dissatisfied and even beat me and seriously injured Jingming. The Feng family threatened to make our Su family's business in Shanhai City unsustainable."

Although the Su family is not a merchant family, in order to maintain such a large family, the family also has shops, restaurants and other businesses in Shanhai City.

If those shops, restaurants and other businesses could not continue, then the Su family's financial resources would be completely cut off, and it would be a problem for more than 300 family members to feed and drink.

"Third brother, the Feng family is not giving our Su family any way to survive!" an elder said in a deep voice.

He and Su Lin are of the same generation, and have the same cultivation level as the Spirit Infant Realm.

Su Lin's face was extremely solemn. His Su family was too weak to compete with the first-rate family, the Feng family.

What's more, behind the Feng family is Dinghai Tower, which has powerful people in the realm of supernatural powers, and the Su family can't afford to provoke them.

If it weren't for the Ninth Prince, who had some connection with the royal family, his Su family would have been wiped out long ago.

Su Yan's face was extremely ugly: "Brother, I am sorry for you!"

Su Ting waved his hand: "We are all brothers, let's not talk about this. In the current situation, there is only one way, take back all the family businesses and move out of Shanhai City."

He had thought it through on his way back. He knew that his Su family couldn't afford to offend the Feng family and Dinghai Tower, but they could afford to hide from them.

Hearing this, Su Lin and others' expressions changed slightly.

The mansion where his Su family lives now is their ancestral land. The ancestor of the Su family started his business here. If they were asked to move away, the clan members would be afraid and unwilling to do so.

"Dad, this is the only way. It can also save our Su family and allow us to leave Shanhai City, or even leave Lizhou. I don't believe that the Feng family can continue to entangle us."

Suting said.

The elder Su Rui said, "Where can we move to?"

Su Ting said: "There is a place our Su family can go."

"Where?"

Everyone looked at Su Ting, even Su Lin looked at his son.

Su Ting's eyes flickered as he said, "Fulong Realm."

Fulong Realm?
Everyone was stunned!

Fulong Territory is a newly opened territory of the Daning Dynasty. Currently, even Fulong City has not been built yet. It is likely that the entire clan will have a hard time surviving if they travel tens of thousands of miles to move to Fulong Territory.

Su Lin stared at his son and said in silence, "We'll discuss this matter tomorrow."

It is a big deal for the entire clan to move out of Shanhai City, and he must think carefully before making a decision.

Su Ting said nothing more and left with his son Su Jingming.

arrive home.

Su Ting and the other man were stunned when they looked at Ning Chen, and stared at Ning Chen carefully for a while.

"Ninth Prince?"

"Chen'er, this is your grandpa, he is your uncle Jingming." Su Jingyi introduced.

When Ning Chen saw Su Ting for the first time, he looked him in the eye and immediately knelt down to pay his respects.

Su Ting couldn't bear it either, so he lifted Ning Chen up and said, "You really look too much like Jing Yun."

As he spoke, he felt uncomfortable and his eyes turned slightly red.

Since his daughter Su Jingyun entered the palace, he never saw her again, and he didn't even see her corpse until she passed away.

For him as a father, not being able to protect his daughter is the greatest sorrow in the world.

Whenever he thought of this, he felt heartbroken.

Now seeing Ning Chen, the only flesh and blood of his daughter left in this world, Su Ting's nose felt sore and he couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Like, so similar!"

Su Ting put one hand on Ning Chen's shoulder, turned his face away, and spoke in a trembling voice.

"Grandpa, don't be sad." Ning Chen held Su Ting's hand.

Su Ting held back his tears. His daughter passed away, and no one in the world was sadder than he was.

"Grandpa, don't be sad." He forced a smile and pulled Ning Chen to sit down.

"Grandpa, are you hurt?"

"It's out of the way."

Su Ting waved his hand and said, "One hundred and fifty-seventh place in the martial arts conference, fifth level of Tiangang cultivation. If your mother were still alive, she would definitely be pleased."

Ning Chen nodded heavily.

"Xiao Chen, why did you leave Kyoto City? It's too dangerous." Su Ting said.

Although Ning Chen is now at the Tiangang level and is stronger than all of them, there are many strong people in this world. If those princes want to assassinate Ning Chen, can Ning Chen still return to Kyoto City?

"Grandpa, don't worry. I came to Lizhou for something, and my father has sent experts to protect me. Besides, I'm old enough, so it's time for me to hone my skills." Ning Chen said with a smile.

He did not tell Su Tinglai the purpose of leaving Lizhou. The establishment of the martial arts alliance is still being carried out in secret. He has not yet considered letting the Su family join the martial arts alliance because they might be targeted by the major forces in Lizhou.

"Grandpa, who hurt you and your uncle?" he asked. Su Ting shook his head: "This is my Su family's business, don't get involved."

Ning Chen frowned and looked at Su Jingming.

Seeing that his father refused to speak, Su Jingming did not say anything either.

Ning Chen said: "I will stay in Lizhou for a while this time. If the Su family has any difficulties, just tell me and I will find a way to help you solve it."

Su Ting hesitated for a moment, but still did not tell anyone about the Feng family's predicament.

Because Ning Chen has no backing or power in the palace, he can't rely on the Su family at all.

He didn't want to put Ning Chen in danger because of the Su family's affairs.

Ning Chen thought for a moment, stood up and waved his hand to cast a soundproof air shield, covering everyone. He took out a pen and paper and wrote a letter. He looked up at Su Ting and the other three and said, "Grandpa, I left Kyoto for Lizhou this time, and it is very likely that I will not be able to return."

Only he knows his own situation.

Although Yan Conglong came to protect him, if he really met a strong man in the realm of supernatural powers, Yan Conglong would not be able to protect him.

Besides, Yan Conglong was protecting him on the surface, but no one knew if he had other intentions in secret.

Maybe Yan Conglong is the eldest prince's man.

They not only protect him, but also secretly monitor him, and in the end they may try to kill him.

He must be prepared for all possible circumstances.

"I cannot leave Lizhou. Grandpa, please help me deliver this letter to Fulong City and give it to the brave Marquis Chen Xian, and hand it to him personally."

"The Brave Marquis Chen Xian?" Su Ting was slightly stunned and asked, "Xiao Chen, are you very close to Marquis Chen Xian?"

"Brothers in life and death, you can trust me completely." Ning Chen said.

Su Ting's eyes lit up. His Su family was targeted by the Feng family, and he had been planning to move the Su family to Fulong City for development. Although Fulong City was just built and there were very few people, sooner or later Fulong City would develop.

Fulong City is the provincial capital. Even if it is close to the demon territory, it doesn’t matter because it has the protection of the imperial court behind it.

If he could develop in Fulong City, perhaps a hundred years later, his Su family could become a powerful family in Fulong Territory.

Su Ting looked at his eldest son Su Jingyi and second son Su Jinghong and asked, "Who of you two is going?"

"Dad, let me go."

Su Jingyi said that his Jade Pill Perfection cultivation was slightly stronger than Su Jinghong's, and he also had richer experience in the martial arts world.

"Uncle, you must be careful on the road, and you must not lose the letter."

"Don't worry, the letter is here as long as the person is here." Su Jingyi knew the importance of this letter.

Next, Ning Chen followed Su Ting to pay a visit to his grandmother, aunt and others.

The next day.

In the Su family's main hall.

Su Lin, Su Rui, Su Ting and other important figures of the Su family sat together to discuss.

"As for the Feng family, my Su family cannot afford to offend them. The Feng family has already started to target us. The shops in Linchuan County were robbed by bandits from Qingmang Mountain last night. The bandits from Qingmang Mountain are related to Dinghai Tower, and the Feng family's backer is also Dinghai Tower."

"I believe that today and tomorrow, my Su family's shops, restaurants, and hotels in other counties will also be looted."

"The Feng family wants to cut off all the financial resources of our Su family and make it impossible for us to survive in Shanhai City."

Su Lin's face was solemn.

Last night, a number of shops and restaurants in Linchuan County were looted, resulting in a loss of nearly ten thousand taels of silver.

Ten thousand taels of silver were enough to cover the Su family's expenses for three months. This loss was too huge.

Everyone was very angry when they heard this.

Su Lin frowned and continued, "What do you think about moving out of Shanhai City and going to Fulong City?"

He thought about Su Ting's proposal yesterday all night and felt that moving from Shanhai City to Fulong City might be the best solution.

The only downside is that if they bring their families to Fulong City, they may be intercepted by bandits or hunted down by the Feng family. With their cultivation level, they will not be able to protect their families who have no cultivation level.

"Dad, I agree to move to Fulong City. The Lord of Fulong City, Lord Chen, is the brother of my grandson. If we move there, we will definitely be taken care of."

Su Ting was the first to speak when he said that Su Jingyi had secretly gone to Fulong City last night. He told Su Jingyi not to come back after he left and to first establish a good foundation in Fulong City.

If the Su family really moves there, it will be easier to make arrangements.

"The emperor's grandson?" Su Lin frowned and said, "The ninth prince?"

"Yes." Su Ting nodded: "He is at the Su family now."

"What??"

Su Lin and others were stunned. They didn’t expect that the Ninth Prince would come to their Su family. Does that mean that their Su family is saved?
"Where are the people? Please invite them over quickly!" Su Lin was speechless. It was such a big deal that the Ninth Prince came to the Su family, why didn't he tell us earlier?

Even if the Ninth Prince has no status in the palace, he is still a prince. How can the Su family neglect him?

Su Ting said that the Ninth Prince came to Lizhou under the alias Master Ding, as he did not want to attract attention from outsiders.

Tell the Su family not to spread the news.

After Su Lin gave the order, Su Ting went to invite Ning Chen over.

When everyone saw Ning Chen, they recognized him at a glance. He was indeed the Ninth Prince, and he was accompanied by four followers.

Three of them are very strong.

"I, along with everyone in the Su family, would like to pay my respects to His Majesty the Ninth Prince." Su Lin and everyone in the Su family hurried forward and bowed to pay their respects.

Ning Chen lifted Su Lin up and said, "No need to be polite."

Su Lin excitedly invited Ning Chen to the seat of honor and had someone serve him tea.

Yan Conglong and three others stood on the left and right.

Ning Chen held the teacup and looked at Su Lin, Su Ting and others, thinking in his heart how to help the Su family rise in Shanhai City.

The situation in Shanhai City is somewhat complicated. The City Lord's Mansion and the Demon Suppression Bureau are unable to suppress Dinghai Tower, the Feng Family, and the Wang Family. If he wants the Su Family to rise, he can only do so through the Li Family of the Martial Arts Alliance, or Nie Yongxuan, the Lord of Lizhou City.

No matter what, Nie Yongxuan is the lord of the Lizhou city. Even if his cultivation strength is not as good as the Gou family, the Zhuang family, the Fushan Sword Sect and the Dinghai Tower, the four major forces should give him face.

After thinking it through, Ning Chen decided to stay at the Su family for two days before returning to Lizhou.

"Grandpa, I heard that the Su family is in trouble?" Ning Chen looked at Su Lin.

Yesterday, Grandpa Su Ting and uncle Su Jingming were beaten up. He questioned them but they refused to say anything.

Later, when I visited my grandmother, aunt and others, it was still a cousin who let it slip.

Su Lin nodded and told the story of the Feng family wanting to force the Su family to marry their daughter.

Ning Chen then realized that his grandfather Su Ting and his uncle Su Jingming were injured yesterday by the Feng family, the largest family in Shanhai City.

About the Feng family.

Along the way, Ning Chen also learned that there are four Wanxiang Realm powerhouses in the family, among which the ancestor of the Feng family is at the seventh level of Wanxiang, there are also seven or eight people in the Tiangang Realm, and more than fifteen people in the Lingying Realm. They are the strongest force in Shanhai City except for Dinghai Tower.

"The Feng family is really going too far!" Ning Chen said coldly.

His mother was posthumously conferred the title of imperial concubine. Although the Su family did not receive any reward, they were also valued by the court. How dare the Feng family bully the Su family like this?

He felt that the Feng family was not ignoring the imperial court, but him, the Ninth Prince, and did not take him seriously.

"I'll take care of this matter." Ning Chen looked at Su Lin and said. (End of this chapter)
