28: C28 Invitation

C28 Invitation

The whole story went like this: Duke Chisong's daughter was named Tang Le. Two years ago, she was betrothed to Murong Lee, but Murong Lee just didn't like her.

It was not that Tang Le was unsightly to the eye. Although Tang Le was a tough and overbearing person, she was still pretty. However, Murong Lee did not like this tough girl.

However, whether Murong Lee liked it or not was not a very important question in the face of the big picture. If Duke Chisong's daughter wanted to marry the young master of Murong Family, could Murong Family still refuse it?

Even Murong Liang, who had always doted on his son, could only accept this reality. He would rather have wronged his son, otherwise, the Mu Rong family would be doomed to eternal damnation.

Murong Lee could only stay out of the family for a year and never return. It was a beautiful name for him to travel, but in reality, he wanted to escape, but no matter how much he wanted to escape, it was useless. When Tang Le performs the coronation ceremony, Murong Lee will be forcefully recalled back into the family.

"Sigh... "Brother Nie Zhen, you want me to live with that unruly and headstrong girl Tang Le for the rest of my life. I'd rather die …" Murong Lee drank the wine in his hands painfully.

"Then... Does Brother Murong not have any good methods? " Nie Zhen asked.

"For now, I can only think of one method, but I don't know if your sister and Nie Family would agree with it … I was the one who found an opportunity to create an accident, pretended to have been involved in the accident and died, and secretly left the Chisong Prefecture together with your sister. "That would be too unfair to your sister …" Murong Lee said helplessly.

Nie Zhen thought, if his sister had to leave Chisong Prefecture and go to a place that he was unfamiliar with, not to mention suffering, he would probably be worried.

"Brother Murong... "Can you tell me exactly how strong Duke Chisong's power is?" Nie Zhen looked at Murong Lee. Nie Zhen really didn't know much about this.

Murong Lee was already half drunk and naturally wouldn't guess the reason behind Nie Zhen's question. He spoke without holding back, "Duke Chisong himself should be an expert at the seventh level of the Earth Stage or even the Eighth Level, but since he's Duke Chisong, then his power should not be this simple. Murong Lee was already half drunk and naturally wouldn't be able to guess the purpose of Nie Zhen's question, and said without holding back," Duke Chisong himself should be an expert at the seventh level of the Earth Stage or even the Eighth Level.

It was only then that Nie Zhen realized that Murong Liang had already entered Earth Stage's third stage. From the perspective of outsiders, Murong Liang had always possessed the strength of Earth Stage's third stage.

"Brother Murong, the situation isn't clear yet. It's not good for you to be too close with my sister, or else it will be the opposite … "Brother Murong?" Only then did Nie Zhen realize that Murong Lee had already passed out from drunkenness...

"Little Zhen, did the little fellow from Murong Family fall asleep?" Nie Zhuang asked after seeing Nie Zhen's return late at night.

Nie Zhen nodded and said, "Yes, he was drunk. I helped him open a room."

"Sigh …" Nie Zhuang said with a long sigh, "He and Xiaoqi... If he isn't the eldest son of Murong Family, maybe I really will … "

Unlike Nie Zhen, Nie Zhuang knew something about Murong Lee. The more it was like this, the more he felt helpless. Oh, Duke Chisong... This was a force that the Nie Family would not dare to offend no matter what.

"Father, let's not think about all this for now …" The aristocracy's assessment is just around the corner. Let's get over the current difficulties first. " Nie Zhen did not want to talk about this topic, he had his own plans. His sister was so good to him, and now there was a rare man who liked her, how could he not think of a way to help her?

"Sigh... Speaking of which, the aristocracy assessment this time … "Little Zhen, if it's really impossible, we can just give up..." Nie Zhuang sighed and said.

"Why?!" Nie Zhen was puzzled.

"Little Zhen, you don't know … This Shen Family is extremely good at drilling, I heard that their methods have already reached Duke Chisong … With someone who has such a backer, with our current strength in Nie Family, it would be hard to topple him … " Nie Zhuang said with a bitter expression.

"So... Father wants to endure for the time being, to blame the loss of our family's nobility seats on yourself, and let your son take back the position that belongs to us in Nie Family when his cultivation becomes more tyrannical in the future? " Nie Zhen immediately guessed Nie Zhuang's thoughts.

For Nie Zhuang, giving up the status of Nie Family was an extremely difficult act, but if it was for the future of Nie Family, he was willing to bear the brunt of this infamy, because he believed that his son would definitely be able to take back everything that Nie Family was lost in the future.

"Father is overthinking it. Let's not talk about whether I am afraid of Duke Chisong, even if our Nie Family is not enough to defeat him, my Nie Family is strong and strong. Even if I am not his match, I am not afraid. This battle with the Shen Family just so happened to tell the world that the strength of my Nie Family has never been broken for the sake of power.

Nie Zhuang looked at his familiar yet strange son with his mouth agape. After a long while, he burst into laughter and said, "Hahaha! Yes, yes! I have lived for most of my life, and yet I am being suppressed by you, hahaha! Good! Xiao Zhen said it well, you are truly worthy of being my good Nie Family. This time, regardless of whether it is Blade Mountain Flame Sea Guild or me, the three of us will go challenge it together! Little Zhen, tell me, how can we, father and son, arrange our battle with Shen Family! "

Nie Zhen smiled, and said: "Is there a need to arrange anything to deal with Shen Family? Father, you don't have to do anything in this battle; the child can do it by himself. "

"How can this be!" Even though he knew that his child's cultivation had already surpassed his own, he still treated Nie Zhen as a child. To be precise, Nie Zhen had yet to perform the championship, and was indeed still a child.

"Father, as long as you don't make a move, no one will know just how many cards I have in my Nie Family. So, it's best if you let a young man like me show off in this battle." Nie Zhen smiled at Nie Zhuang.

Under normal circumstances, everyone would think that the head of the clan should be the strongest person in the clan, Shen Family and the Mu Rong family should be the same, but the Nie Family is a little strange right now. Nie Zhuang may be strong, but Nie Zhen's cultivation far surpasses Nie Zhuang's.

However, if Nie Zhen was the only one to take part in the aristocracy's assessment and Shen Family battle, everyone would feel that the Nie Family's martial arts student was already that strong. As the patriarch, how strong would Nie Zhuang be?

More importantly, after Nie Family wins over Shen Family and expands his foundation, he must recruit a large amount of talented people. If Nie Zhuang's reputation increases, then the quality of the talents that are recruited will become stronger. After all, a family like this isn't someone that can come here to fish in troubled water.2

"Heh heh... Little Zhen, I didn't expect you to have such thoughts at such a young age, not bad … "Then I'll leave it all to you this time." Nie Zhuang smiled happily. With a son like that, what else could he ask for?

When they saw Nie Zhuang and Nie Zhen, they smiled and said, "Father, brother, Brother Murong has already left. Before we left, he invited me and my brother to attend his sister's coronation tomorrow. I don't know if father would agree or not."

Murong Lee's sister, Murong Xin, was going to hold the Coming of Age Ceremony tomorrow, so she invited some of the younger generation Aristocratic Offspring to celebrate. Most of the invited people were Murong Xin's friends in Martial Child Academy.

What was important to note in particular was that the Martial Child Academy that Murong Xin was in was not the Martial Child Academy that Nie Zhen was reading about, so Nie Zhen did not recognize Murong Xin.

"Since the others have invited you, then go. Remember to buy some gifts and not be rude to others." Nie Zhuang laughed. This was not a big deal between nobles. Some families might make a big fuss during the ceremony, but Murong Xin obviously liked to keep a low profile, so she invited her peers.

"Since that's the case, elder sister, let's go buy some gifts." Nie Zhen knew Nie Xiaoqi was in a good mood, so he offered to accompany Nie Xiaoqi to buy presents.

"Little Zhen, how about this? Hmm... No, no, no... "Let's do it that way..." On the way, Nie Xiaoqi kept looking left and right, unable to make up her mind. Although this was only a gift from Murong Xin, her attention was akin to a present when she came to visit.

"I say, sister … Don't think too much into it, Murong Family is a big business, what have you not seen before? We'll just buy some high-end stuff and not be rude. " Nie Zhen said casually as he hugged the back of his head.

"Aiya, how can this be? Since Big Brother Murong's sister is performing the coronation ceremony, then we can't afford to be rude …" Nie Xiaoqi smiled as she continued to pick at the antique in her hand. She also felt that it wasn't appropriate for the girl to give away the antique at her house. She pulled Nie Zhen to the medicine store to see if there were any better quality herbs.

Nie Zhen knew that it was because of Murong Lee that Nie Xiaoqi paid special attention to this gift. In fact, from the bottom of his heart, Nie Zhen also hoped to help his sister. Thus, he paid special attention when he entered the medicine store.

"There's actually a Yan Mountain Snow Lotus in this place?" Nie Zhen's eyes immediately lit up when he saw that there was actually a Yan Mountain snow lotus inside the medicine shop.

Yan Mountain belonged to the range of influence of Guiyan City, but the unique Yan Mountain Snow Lotus on the Yan Mountain was something that Duke Chisong had decided to arrange uniformly. The flow of precious medicinal ingredients that were uniformly handed over to Chisong Prefecture was extremely small on the market, and even the three great Wealthy Clans probably did not have much stock.

However, even though the Yan Mountain Snow Lotus is rare, the medicinal effects aren't really that high. On the contrary, the ornamental effects are extremely good, and it's only because there are so few of them, that they are unified and controlled by the Chisong Prefecture.

But since Nie Zhen saw it this time, he had the gift. He hurriedly stepped forward and said to the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, I'll take this Yan Mountain Snow Lotus."

"Hold on!"
