Everyone never imagined that Nie Li would actually say such words. This is not just simply contradicting the Grand Elder. Nie Li’s meaning is that he want’s to leave the Heavenly Marks Family!
Previously, Nie Li’s impression to everyone has always been timid. But today, he actually said such things in front of the Patriarch and all the elders.
Nie Ming was already so scared he was shivering. He heavily scolded, “Xiao Li, what are you saying?! Hurry up and apologize to the Patriarch!”
“Hmph, your wings have grown so much that you actually want to quit the clan? Don’t forget, it’s the shelter and nurturing of the Heavenly Marks Family that you have what you have today!” Grand Elder Nie Wei coldly said, “Ungrateful little bastard!”
“The Heavenly Marks Family is our family, therefore there’s nothing wrong with the Heavenly Marks Family providing me shelter. However, it’s not the Heavenly Marks Family that raised me. It’s my parents that have worked hard daily to grow herbs to raise me. They have also paid the Heavenly Marks Family with their hard work. Therefore, we don’t owe anyone, I, Nie Li don’t owe anyone!” Nie Li straightened his body and refuted.
“This is outrageous! Presumptuous!” Nie Wei had a livid expression. Nie Wei still wanted to scold Nie Li, however, he was stopped by Nie Hai.
Nie Ming anxiously pulled Nie Li. He has no idea what’s wrong with Nie Li, Nie Li has always been timid in the past. But today, he was contradicting the Grand Elder and the Patriarch.
Nie Hai slightly squinted his eyes, looking at Nie Li. Today, Nie Li’s reasoned debate caused him to look at Nie Li in a different view. Facing with so many elders, he does show any form of cowardice, like he did in the past. Nie Hai smiled and said, “What Nie Li said is correct. The Heavenly Marks Family is everyone’s family. Everyone has been contributing to the family, therefore, protecting the members is the responsibility of the family. Before this matter is thoroughly investigated, no one is to be punished!”
Nie Wei doesn’t get it, what’s wrong with the Patriarch today. Nie Li said some outrageous words and Nie Hai is actually still standing on Nie Li’s side, protecting Nie Li, just what does this mean?
Hearing Nie Hai’s words, including Nie Ming, everyone was dumbfounded. They originally thought that Nie Li contradicting the Grand Elder like this, even if he isn’t kicked out of the family, he still won’t be able to escape punishment. However, Nie Hai did not mind what Nie Li said at all. Instead, he is constantly helping Nie Li.
Nie Wei frowned, secretly thinking, ‘Nie Hai, this old fox, is not right! Nie Hai is too lenient with Nie Li, which doesn’t make sense!’
Elder Nie En and bunch were all looking at Nie Li, thinking of something.
After he heard Nie Hai’s words, Nie Li’s mood lightened up. After all, he still has feelings towards the Heavenly Marks Family. The reason why he said all that is because he is unhappy with some of the people in the Heavenly Marks Family. Since Patriarch Nie Hai is so generous about this matter, then everything is fine.
“Nie Li, you just came back from school and experienced so much. First, go home and take a rest. Tomorrow grandpa will test you and see how have you been faring in your cultivation.” Nie Hai stood up, stretched and said, laughing.
At this moment, everyone was shocked. Not only did Nie Hai not pursue Nie Li’s mistake, he even wants to pull himself closer to Nie Li.
Hearing Nie Hai’s words, Nie Ming can’t help but to be emotional. Patriarch Nie Hai actually wants to test Nie Li’s cultivation progress himself. This is an absolutely a great honour! After all, Nie Li is not a direct descendant of Nie Hai. Therefore, isn’t Nie Hai treating Nie Li a little too well?
Everyone looked at each other, but were unable to figure out what’s going on.
After hearing Nie Hai’s words, Nie Li understood. Nie Hai probably realised something. After all, Nie Hai is a Gold rank Demon Spiritualist, therefore, he might have detected the demon spirit aura that was within his body. After Nie Li thought about the matter with the Alchemist Association, he knew it’s not difficult to link them.
That being the case, Nie Li also do not intend to hide any longer. Even if it’s not for himself, he must fight for some interest for his parents, uncle, and aunt.
Just when these people were flabbergasted, a member of the clan hurriedly ran in and said to Nie Hai, “Patriarch, Director Yang of the Alchemist Association has come!”
“Director Yang?” Whether if it’s Nie En, Nie Wei, or Nie Hai, all of them had expressions of surprise.
They never expected that Director Yang of Alchemist Association would come personally and pay a visit to their Heavenly Marks Family deep in the night. They had many contacts with the Alchemist Association, naturally they would know about Director Yang’s position within Alchemist Association. She is a powerhouse within Alchemist Association aside from the President and Elders.
A figure like Director Yang, just a casual word of hers could devastate an Aristocratic Family. At the same time, it can also lead an Aristocratic Family into prosperity. This time, when the Sacred Family was suppressing the Heavenly Marks Family, causing them to be in a poor situation, Director Yang was the one that helped to solve the problem.
The Alchemist Association is an existence comparable to the three Major families. Its influence within Glory City is even greater than the Sacred Family and the Divine Family. It became only second to the Snow Wind Family who has a Legend rank Demon Spiritualist and the City Lord of Glory City. Facing Director Yang made even Nie Hai respectful.
