At this thought, Old Master Ning Jiacheng let out a long sigh and said, "I never expected Master Xia's power over lifespan to have such a rule. Since that's the case, then let's forget about it." As he spoke, he shook his head.
Nearby, Ning Mingjun could no longer hold back and finally spoke up. "Father, how can you still believe this man? This whole business of increasing or decreasing lifespans is surely fake. He can't actually do it. He only said that because he knew you would agree."
Hearing Ning Mingjun's words, Xia Liang smiled faintly and spoke slowly. "It seems you don't believe me?" Xia Liang looked toward Ning Mingjun.
"Of course not," Ning Mingjun scoffed. "If you could truly increase or decrease a person's lifespan, possessing such a heaven-defying ability to do something only King Yama can, then what's the harm in trading a few years of my life for a few more for my father? I think..."
Ning Mingjun paused. "You simply can't do it, can you?"
