Though the old man's tone was quite mild, one could still tell the uncontrollable anger in his tone.
Master Ning shuddered and answered timidly, "Father, it was me..."
Smack!
Hardly had his words faded away when the old man slapped his face.
Suddenly, in the quiet hall, the clapping sound rang.
Elder Ning's strength was much greater than Master Ning's. Master Ning was slapped so hard that his face swelled up and red blood oozed from the corners of his mouth.
"How dare you treat Xin'er like this when I was not in the Ning Family these few days?" Elder Ning's eyes were burning with a raging flame, and his face turned blue with anger. "Xin'er really had a hard time these years, so how could you have the heart to beat her? Even I am reluctant to touch a single strand of her hair, but you beat her like this! If I hadn't had a problem with my body and wasn't able to manage the Ning Family, I would not have passed on the power to you!"
