Whether Chapter 64 clarifies things or not is unimportant.

Go find Ning Li?

Ning Rongrong was taken aback.

Could it be that what happened a year and a half ago really wasn't Ning Shuqian's doing?

Why didn't you speak up back then?

"If you want to bring your friends along, then bring them along."

After saying this, the white-haired old man was helped away by Ning Shu.

Ning Rongrong watched his retreating figure, lost in thought.

Could it really be her?

"Rongrong," Zhu Zhuqing said, "This is an internal matter of your sect, so it wouldn't be appropriate for me to go. I'll go back to my room first."

As soon as he turned around, Ning Rongrong grabbed his hand. "Seventh Grandpa said you can go, so you can go."

Zhu Zhuqing stopped in her tracks.

At this moment, Bone Douluo, who had been sent to find Ning Rongrong, also arrived in front of the two. "Rongrong, I've been looking for you for so long! Weren't you going back to your room? What are you doing here? And who is this young lady?"

Upon seeing the unfamiliar face, Bone Douluo didn't hesitate and immediately asked.

Ning Rongrong introduced Zhu Zhuqing again, and then explained what had just happened, "Grandpa Bone, is there something you need from me?"

"Seven old men?" Bone Douluo nodded with his hands on his hips upon hearing this. "Since he's preparing to go find Ning Li and the others, that's perfect. Rongrong, why don't you go with him and take a look?"

Want to come along and take a look?

Hearing what Bone Douluo said, it seemed like it was expected?

Ning Rongrong asked suspiciously, "Grandpa Bone, are you hiding something from me?"

"There is indeed something, but I haven't been hiding it from you!" Bone Douluo explained, "I only found out today. Feng Zhi and the Old Swordsman kept it from us. They were communicating with each other and didn't tell me. I only just learned the truth about Ning Shu's matter. That's why I came to you as soon as I found out, just to tell you about Ning Shu!"

"You make it sound so true." Ning Rongrong's face was stern, but after a moment, she relaxed. "So, Ning Shu was framed?"

She disliked Ning Shu for so long because of that incident, only to find out that Ning Shu was wronged.

Although Bone Douluo was reluctant to say it, he still nodded. "She was wronged. That incident was an accident. The one who really threw dirty water on Ning Shu was Ning Li. Ning Li always believed that Ning Shu was the Third Elder's illegitimate daughter, so she plotted to make those things seem like Ning Shu was the one who did it."

"."

what?

Zhu Zhuqing was taken aback.

What is this?

envy?

Ning Rongrong didn't know what to say for a moment. "Well, even if it was something that happened a year and a half ago, and she was wronged, it's a fact that she disrespected my aunt, right?"

"It is true, but," Bone Douluo changed the subject, "the reason why Ning Shu was disrespectful to Ning Li was because Ning Li put pressure on her first, so if we really want to reason about this, it won't be so easy to explain clearly."

"Rongrong, I know why you don't like Ning Shu. Now that the misunderstanding is being cleared up, you're probably not used to it, but it's not a big deal. If you're uncomfortable with her, just don't see her. Anyway, she's not staying here for long."

"Although Feng Zhi intended to keep her here."

Bone Douluo continued, "But Rongrong, don't overthink it. Ning Shu is a promising talent. Feng Zhi is only doing this for the sake of the sect."

Ning Shu's martial soul evolved, and her soul power far surpassed that of her peers in a short period of time. Ning Rongrong was well aware of the implications of this.

She pursed her lips. "Grandpa Bone, I know."

"Rongrong."

Bone Douluo was somewhat conflicted.

Why does he have to do this?

This doesn't count as being a good person!

"."

So that's how it happened. No wonder Ning Shu acted that way.

Zhu Zhuqing thought to herself.

Seeing that Ning Rongrong remained silent, Bone Douluo could no longer stand still and spoke up to comfort her, "Oh, Rongrong, you didn't know about this matter in the first place, so it's understandable that you treated Ning Shu that way. Grandpa hopes you won't have too much psychological pressure."

Psychological stress?

Ning Rongrong shook her head. "Grandpa Bone, you're overthinking it. I won't feel any pressure. I'll end my relationship with Ning Shu in my own way."

In your own way?

Bone Douluo was somewhat puzzled. "Rongrong, what are you going to do?"

Ning Rongrong smiled and said, "This is a matter between us girls, Grandpa Bone, please don't pry too much into it!"

"It's a matter between girls!"

Bone Douluo breathed a sigh of relief. He pointed at Ning Rongrong, shook his head with a helpless smile, and said, "Alright, since you say you want to end your relationship with Ning Shu in a girl's way, then Grandpa won't ask any more questions. But Rongrong, please don't let yourself be wronged. Grandpa has always been on your side!"

Hearing Bone Douluo's words of comfort, Ning Rongrong felt a warmth in her heart. She was no longer the arrogant young lady she used to be. Some things could not be solved with the old methods. If she made a mistake, she would admit it. She was not a stubborn person.

Although she got the truth from Bone Douluo, Ning Rongrong still wanted to see what was going on between Ning Shu and Ning Li. After saying goodbye to Bone Douluo, she took Zhu Zhuqing to Ning Li's courtyard.

The matter between Ning Li and Ning Shu is at most a family matter, so it will not be handled publicly. However, the matter of Ning Shu being wronged is a public matter, and in principle it should be handled publicly. But out of respect for the Third Elder, Ning Fengzhi left the matter to the Third Elder to handle himself. He could handle it publicly if he wanted, or not if he didn't want to. He had no objection.

Keeping it private is to save face for Ning Li.

Going public is the only, fastest, and best way to clear Ning Shu's name.

It's not hard to tell that the Third Elder chose to keep it private.

The crowd gathered, surrounding Liyuan. The atmosphere in the hall was heavy. The elders of the sect who had vowed to kill Ning Shu a year ago still harbored murderous intent towards her. They stared coldly at Ning Shu, each more impatient than the last.

"Third Elder, you didn't summon us here just to show us this culprit, did you?"

"That's right, Third Elder, Ning Shu has been forbidden from returning to the sect. What does this mean?"

"What, regretting it? Can't stand being out there anymore, want to come back?"

"We can't agree to her coming back! The fact that she's still alive is already the biggest concession we've made. How much time has passed? Do you expect us to pretend nothing happened?!"

"."

The resentment remains as strong as ever.

Ning Shu looked at them, smiled calmly, and did not say anything.

If it weren't for the fact that the Third Elder was genuinely good to her, she wouldn't have bothered coming back here to make this pointless clarification.

Ning Fengzhi and the others didn't come, which clearly meant they wanted to keep this matter private.

Oh well, anyway, she doesn't care about this so-called reputation. Her reputation has been tarnished for so many years, what's there to clarify? No matter how she clarifies, there will still be people saying that she did it.

Speaking of these past few days, she's been doing quite well at the Spirit Hall, living a pretty comfortable life. If it weren't for her seventh grandfather sending her a message saying that the third elder really missed her, she wouldn't have bothered coming back.

"What's all the fuss about? I called you all here today to clarify what happened a year and a half ago!"
