History
Ning Shan wants his son Ning Feng to attend Shrek Academy alongside his daughter Ning Tian. He regards Shrek as the continent’s best academy and argues that its education, reputation, and connections would benefit both Ning Feng and the sect. Ning Feng instead insists on joining the Body Sect to develop his Three Heads and Six Arms Body Martial Soul. When neither yields, Ning Shan confines him in a Dark Iron Rock chamber and orders that he receive no food until he changes his mind 1.
Ning Feng breaks through the chamber wall and leaves during the night. Shocked by the escape, Ning Shan orders a search and sends Ning Tian to register at Shrek as planned. He rejects his wife’s suggestion that they let Ning Feng make his own choice 2.
Months later, Ning Shan still has no news of Ning Feng. A letter reporting that Ning Tian has become a Shrek core disciple reinforces his view that Ning Feng has made a mistake, and he intensifies the search 13. Nearly half a year after the escape, his scouts still have not found Ning Feng. Ning Shan then receives a letter from Princess Vina, who has met Ning Feng at the Body Sect; his reaction to its contents is not shown 27.
Personality
Ning Shan is authoritative and strongly committed to Shrek’s prestige. He cites the achievements of ancestor Ning Rongrong and a past Body Sect defeat by Shrek when arguing against Ning Feng’s choice. He also considers the connections his children could make at Shrek important to the sect’s future 1 2.
His anger at Ning Feng is accompanied by concern for his safety and prospects: he loses sleep after confining him and continues searching for him for months 1 13 27.
