Chapter 848: Chapter 848: Returning to the Clan Ceremony?

After listening, Ning Caiwen’s expression slightly darkened, feeling somewhat troubled, "This lad is really stubborn; even your intervention couldn’t bring him down?"

Ning Qingyu pouted, her tone annoyed, "I even suspected he might not like women. I almost stripped in front of him, and he didn’t react at all, and even drove me out!"

Upon hearing this, Ning Caiwen’s expression froze as he stroked his chin thoughtfully, "What you said seems reasonable; it’s not impossible..."

Ning Qingyu: "..."

Seeing that Ning Caiwen was actually about to call a male family member to try, Ning Qingyu hurriedly stopped him, "Family Head, I was just saying that off the cuff, don’t take it seriously!"

If we really sent a male family member over and he got beaten and kicked out, that would turn into a big joke!

"I was too anxious. This lad has been wandering outside for years and it seems he is wary of the Ning Family. We need to think of a different approach!"

His gaze twinkling, the final drastic plan gradually became clear in his mind.

"I didn’t want to do this, but you forced me, so don’t blame me..."

The next morning, Ning Fan got up early and went downstairs only to see a dense crowd of Ning family members gathered in the hall.

Ning Caiwen stood at the forefront, his expression extremely serious as if he was engaged in some important matter.

Upon seeing Ning Fan come down, he immediately stepped forward, then gave the clan members a signal with his eyes.

"Ning Fan, come here," Ning Caiwen beckoned to Ning Fan.

Ning Fan glanced over everyone, noticing that last night’s Ning Qingyu was also among the crowd.

But this time, she looked quite solemn, showing none of that frivolous demeanor.

Curious to see what trick they were about to pull, Ning Fan slowly walked down to stand before Ning Caiwen.

Looking up, he saw the ancestral plaques of the Ning Family above.

"Ning Fan, when your father faced a powerful enemy, he was always thinking of you, always hoping that you could return to the Ning Family."

"The people here have always wanted to fulfill your father’s wish, but we were also worried that the affairs of the Ning Family would involve you, so we never sought you out."

"Unexpectedly, you managed to find your way back yourself, perhaps this really is a divine arrangement, you are destined to return to the Ning Family!"

"I spent all of last night preparing, and finally, I managed to bring out these ancestral plaques. You will return to the Ning Family in their presence. I imagine your father would also hope to see you return!"

After this, he pulled Ning Fan in front of the ancestral plaques and, with a beaming smile, handed him three incense sticks: "Come, bow to these ancestors, and you will officially be a member of the Ning Family."

The other family members also displayed happy smiles, congratulating Ning Fan.

"Congratulations, congratulations, for rejoining the family."

"From now on, you are a person of the Ning Family."

"This is the respect that many people can’t earn; you are really lucky."

"Even if others want to join the Ning Family, we wouldn’t give them this opportunity!"

"You must work hard for the Ning Family from now on."

As the Ning family members said these words, they completely assumed a superior attitude.

It’s as if they weren’t asking Ning Fan to come home, but rather Ning Fan was begging them to let him return to the Ning Family.

Even knowing Ning Fan’s strength, Ning Caiwen maintained this attitude.

"Ning Fan, our Ning Family is one of the eight great families in the Capital City; you can immediately live the life many people dream of as long as you wish."

"Moreover, your father was originally one of our Ning Family people, so your return to the Ning Family is also a return to your roots!"

Ning Caiwen was so eager to have Ning Fan join mainly because of the great strength Ning Fan had shown.

But he also noticed that Ning Fan had expended a lot of effort defeating those three Transcendent Realm masters.

He felt that if the Ning Family made an all-out effort, they could similarly suppress Ning Fan.

Therefore, in this matter, Ning Caiwen always kept a superior attitude.

"Come now, kneel before the ancestral plaques to complete the ceremony of rejoining the clan."

However, Ning Fan stood up straight, looking at those high and mighty plaques, and said emotionlessly, "Rejoining the clan ceremony? When did I ever say I wanted to rejoin the clan?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the other Ning family members were all dumbfounded.

"What are you talking about?"

"You haven’t made any contributions to the Ning Family, and now we are letting you rejoin, which is already a great favor toward you."

"Yes, many Ning Family members who are wandering outside don’t have this privilege."

"Don’t be ungrateful; this is an unprecedented exception."

Ning Caiwen’s face also turned grim as he said coldly, "Ning Fan, this was your father’s wish, are you going to contradict your own father now?"

"How can you be so unfilial?"

"How could our Ning Family produce someone like you!"

"Unfilial child! Quickly complete the rejoining ceremony, otherwise how can your father rest in peace!"

Ning Fan’s lips curled into a cold sneer, "Is that so? But I don’t think my father ever had such a wish."

If Ning Potian had wanted to return to the Ning Family, he would never have left Capital City.

Moreover, given the conduct of these family elites, Ning Fan didn’t believe his father would have wanted to return to the Ning Family.

"Ning Fan, don’t be ungrateful!" Ning Caiwen’s face darkened as he said coldly, "Complete the rejoining ceremony right now!"

However, Ning Fan turned to look at Ning Caiwen, his aura gradually rising.

"What, what are you trying to do?"

Feeling the oppressive aura emanating from Ning Fan, Ning Caiwen’s forehead suddenly broke out in cold sweat.
