Wei Nan, Zhu Xiangjun, and Zhang Ming bid farewell to Nie Li, and left the institute for home.
Du Ze and Lu Piao both walked over.
“We’ll be off too!” Du Ze said, smiling.
“Okay,” Nie Li nodded, “We’ll meet again in a month!”
“Meet again in a month!” Du Ze nodded, thinking about going home, Du Ze couldn’t help being excited. This time going back, aside from the skyrocket results of his cultivation, Nie Li had given him lots of demon spirit coins, at least enough to bring his clans mens out of suffering. In his heart, Du Ze feel is fully grateful to Nie Li, because it’s Nie Li that has changed his life!
Lu Piao had both of his hands on his hips, laughing loudly, “I’m finally returning home! This time, I don’t need to fear being smacked by my father on my butt anymore! Hahaha!”
Seeing Lu Piao’s current action, Nie Li and Du Ze both looked at each other. They couldn’t help smiling bitterly, and distanced themselves from Lu Piao. The surrounding students threw them weird looks.
Lu Piao heavily hugged Nie Li, and drenched Nie Li’s face with saliva through kiss as he said, “Brother, I love you to death!”
Seeing Lu Piao, Nie Li trembled and pushed Lu Piao away.
“Get away from me, I’m not gay!”
“I’m also not gay. The sky is so blue, the ground is so green! I’ll be going first, see you in a month!” Lu Piao looked a little light headed as he walked out in big steps.
Du Ze waved Nie Li goodbye and left too.
Seeing the happy faces of these two buddies of his, Nie Li couldn’t help smiling lightly, and walked towards the direction of his clan.
North of Glory City
The land of Glory City is rather wide. Aside from the two most prosperous cities within, there is six more subsidiary cities. From the Holy Orchid Institute to Nie Li’s house, even with carriage, he would not arrive until two days later.
Nie Li belongs to a clan called the Heavenly Marks Family. The family resides in a valley with a vast land, however, the resources here are very poor. Therefore, the family relies on farming and harvesting mountain herbs for a living. Fortunately, the distance here to the military and the defensive wall is quite close, therefore, it’s still rather safe. Generally, there wouldn’t be any attacks from demon beasts. Although the Heavenly Marks is an Aristocratic family, only the House Master of the Heavenly Marks Family has the title of Count. This means that if the House Master were to pass away, and none of the younger generations have been able to obtain any title, the Heavenly Marks Family wouldn’t be as it is anymore.
As one of the most declined Aristocratic families, the Heavenly Marks Family’s castle is very worn and old. The outer wall has been extremely damaged, however, the family does not have any money to repair it.
Just outside the castle, one can see a large patch of farming field with people planting and farming various crops. When they saw Nie Li walking from far away, the clansmen took the initiative to say hello.
“Nie Li, you’re back?”
The clansmen that are responsible for farming don’t have any high position within the clan, and Nie Li’s father is one of them.
