Chapter Summary
Although he had nothing to do with the Ma family anymore, there were still quite a few people who had a good relationship with Ma Wang in the past, so it was not a problem for them to meet their patriarch. So the overall strength of our Ma family is slightly weaker, but when it comes to action, we are much better than other families." Seeing Liu Ning paying attention to the people training, Ma Wang explained the structure of the Ma family to him. Xue Tianlong's status was much higher than Ma Qia...
In fact, Liu Ning's thinking was correct. In the minds of most people in the Ma family, they did indeed regard Ma Wang as a traitor. No matter what you did for the family in the past, as long as the family nurtured you, it was wrong of you to leave the family now.
Ma Wang actually had his own thoughts. Losing in the selection competition was basically the end of their future for these young people. They couldn't expect to receive a lot of resources in the future. So Ma Wang chose to go to Liu Ning's side. Moreover, Ma Wang's body had reached its limit. Without Liu Ning's deep hypnosis, Ma Wang would not be able to heal. Considering all these factors, Ma Wang had no choice but to betray him. However, Ma Wang also gave a large sum of compensation before leaving.
"The head of the family is waiting for you in the bamboo house at the back..."
After entering, someone finally paid attention to Ma Wang. Although he had nothing to do with the Ma family anymore, there were still quite a few people who had a good relationship with Ma Wang in the past, so it was not a problem for them to meet their patriarch. However, when these people spoke to Ma Wang, it was as if they had encountered thieves, and they spoke in secret. This was probably how cold-hearted people were. However, Ma Wang did not blame them. It was already quite good that they were still willing to talk to him.
Besides the person who spoke, there were dozens of people practicing martial arts around them. In the past, when these people saw Ma Wang come in, they would surround him and ask him all sorts of questions. Ma Wang would also give them a few pointers. But now, the two sides were like strangers. Liu Ning understood why. Ma Wang no longer belonged here, so it was normal for everyone to distance themselves from him.
It's hard to say who's right and who's wrong in this situation. From the Ma family's perspective, Ma Wang did indeed betray them. But from Ma Wang's perspective, if he stayed, his life would be pretty much over. Following Liu Ning might give him a new life. So anyone with even a little passion wouldn't choose to stay. They would all choose to continue following in Liu Ning's footsteps and see what level they could reach in their lives.
Ma Wang nodded, then led Liu Ning and the others towards the back. Along the way, Liu Ning observed carefully. This was indeed different from other large families. Other large families were extremely luxurious, including Zhao Wudi's family, which had also spent a lot of money. However, everything in the Ma family was extremely simple. If it weren't for the sign hanging at the entrance, Liu Ning would have thought he had entered an ordinary martial arts school. Everything here wasn't very expensive, but it looked pleasant and made people feel relaxed. It seemed that a lot of thought had been put into it.
Upon entering the backyard, Liu Ning saw several people practicing martial arts. He scanned them with the system and found that they all had a good foundation and had reached the level of warrior apprentices. It seemed that they had their own reasons for being able to persevere. The eight major groups were not just resting on their laurels; they were also working hard to train their next generation, something that keyboard warriors couldn't see.
"These are all members of our family. The Ma family is different from other families. If other families discover a strong person, they will do everything they can to arrange for them to join their family. But this is not the case for our Ma family. Therefore, all the experts in the Ma family have the surname Ma. If you don't have this surname, even if you are very strong, you will never be able to get a single bit of resources. The family has already decided on this strategy in the meeting. So the overall strength of our Ma family is slightly weaker, but when it comes to action, we are much better than other families."
Seeing Liu Ning paying attention to the people training, Ma Wang explained the structure of the Ma family to him. The Ma family's structure was indeed different from other families. For example, Liu Ning's strength was already very strong, and various families wanted him to be their son-in-law. However, the Ma family did not have such thoughts. The Ma family believed that these people were disloyal to them, and if any trouble were to arise in the future, it would be better to focus on training their own family members. This meant losing the opportunity to cooperate with some super strong individuals. However, the entire Ma family still believed that their idea was correct.
Liu Ning couldn't say whether their development approach was right or wrong. In any case, every approach had its own advantages. Although they had lost some channels to become stronger, they were all one family, which made them much stronger than those large families. When fighting outside, brothers who had grown up together would take care of each other, making it easier to manage people's hearts.
After passing through the back courtyard, we finally arrived at the core area. The surrounding area was all open space, but no one was practicing here. There was a small wooden house in the middle, which was probably where Ma Qiang lived.
When Liu Ning and his group went around, there were some bamboo tables and chairs in front of the cabin. The person sitting there was Ma Qiang. Ma Qiang already knew that Liu Ning was coming, so he had already brewed tea and was waiting for him.
"Please sit down, Mr. Liu. I know everyone is in a hurry, so let's get straight to the point. As you saw when we arrived, our family still has some ideas about Ma Wang. Although we used to be friends, we are no longer family, so there's no need for so much formality."
Ma Qiang gives off a very direct vibe. If it were anyone else, they would at least exchange some pleasantries. After all, Liu Ning is a powerful figure in this city. But now you're speaking so directly. Do you really think you can't ask Liu Ning for help in the future?
In the past, if someone like Liu Ning came to visit them, even though their family rules differed from other families, there should at least have been some proper etiquette. But now, the Ma family didn't show any of that etiquette. They all stayed here obediently. When Liu Ning came in, Ma Qiang didn't even stand up. Xue Tianlong's status was much higher than Ma Qiang's, but even Xue Tianlong didn't dare to put on airs when he saw Liu Ning. This was enough to show how much of a blow Ma Wang's departure had to them.
That's understandable. Liu Ning had just learned about the Ma family's development methods, so he naturally knew how united the Ma family members were. What Ma Wang did might not seem like much to others, but it was a big deal to the Ma family members.
