“I assume that this is the Grand Elder of the Nie Family?” Yang Xin looked at Nie Hai and asked.
Hearing that there is a little cold anger within Yang Xin’s tone, Nie Hai embarrassedly said, “Correct. The Grand Elder’s words didn’t mean to offend Director Yang. I hope that Director Yang can forgive him,” Nie Hai threw a wink at Nie Li, wanting to get Nie Li’s help with Yang Xin’s anger. However, Nie Li turned his head away, ignoring the Patriarch.
Not having dignity of a Patriarch in front of Yang Xin is fine, but when facing his own clansmen, he’s still helpless. However, he can only smile bitterly. He obviously saw through it, the reason why Yang Xin cooperated with the Heavenly Marks Family, is all because of Nie Li.
“I suggest that this person leaves. If this kind of person remains as a Grand Elder within the Heavenly Marks Family, then the Alchemist Association will stop our cooperation with the Heavenly Marks Family,” Yang Xin lightly said.
Nie Hai inhaled a deep breath. What she means is that she want them to rid Nie Wei of his Grand Elder position. The Alchemist Association now holds the fate of his Heavenly Marks Family, therefore he doesn’t dare to be rash. The Alchemist Association is not a joke, if they stop cooperating with the Heavenly Marks Family, there would be countless families out there that will grab the chance to suppress the Heavenly Marks Family.
“From today onwards, Nie Wei will no longer be the Grand Elder and Enforcement Elder of my Heavenly Marks Family. His position will be taken over by Elder Nie En!” Nie Hai publicly announced.
Nie Wei opened his mouth, wanting to say something. However, he looked at the Alchemist Association’s Yang Xin and her bunch. He understood that there was no more room for discussion. He can only swallow what he’s about to say. Nie Xiaofeng and Nie Xiaori were as purple as creamy eggplants. The reason for them being so arrogant within the Heavenly Marks Family is because their grandfather is a Grand Elder.
[TLN: It originally meant pale as creamy eggplant, but my editors reminded me that eggplant ain’t pale xD So my editors changed it to purple for it to make more sense.]
To be able to rid a Grand Elder of his position within the Heavenly Marks Family, this is the absolute power of the Alchemist Association.
Nie Hai continued announcing, “In addition, Nie Ming will take the post of Public Hall In-charge, Nie Kai will take the post of Farm Hall In-charge!”
Hearing Nie Hai’s words, Nie Ming and Nie Kai were both dumbfounded. They were looking at Nei Hai in disbelief. They weren’t the only ones, the rest of the clansmen were also in shock. The Public Hall In-charge and Farm Hall In-charge were both positions within the Heavenly Marks Family with power. One was in-charge of the finance, and the other was in-charge of herbs and other farming related stuff. Normally, it was the sons of Nie Wei that was in charge of those two positions.
“Thanks Patriarch!” Nie Ming emotionally kneel down and said.
“Thanks Patriarch!” Nie Kai also hurriedly kneel down.
Seeing his father and uncle kneel down, Nie Li couldn’t help wrinkling his brows.
Nie Hai immediately waved his hands upon seeing Nie Li’s expression, “There’s no need for ceremony. From today on, the both of you do not need to kneel in front of me any more.”
Nie Ming and Nie Kai both stood up, confused about what’s going on.
Nie Wei, Nie En and bunch seemed to have finally figure it out. Nie En’s eyes were shimmering with light, whereas Nie Wei was full of frustration.
“Since the Alchemist Association is willing to dispatch people to help guard our Heavenly Marks Family, we are grateful for it, of course!” Nie Hai could see that the Alchemist Association sending people over is probably meant to protect Nie Li. His doubts within his heart began to thicken as he wondered, why the Alchemist Association would reviere Nie Li with such importance? He decided to ask Nie Li after Yang Xin leaves.
“It’s late in the night, I’ll no longer bother you,” Yang Xin took a glance at Nie Li and said, “Everyone rest well, I’ll pay a visit again tomorrow, during the day.”
“It’s hard for Director Yang to come back and forth. Why don’t you stay the night at my Heavenly Marks Family? I’ll have someone arrange for an elegant house to be open for you.” Nie Hai hurriedly said, trying to get on her good side.
Yang Xin went silent for a moment, thought awhile and said, “Okay then!”
Since she’ll come again tomorrow to look for Nie Li, why not just stay the night here.
“Nie Li, bring Director Yang to her house to rest,” Nie Hai said to Nie Li, “I’ll have someone arrange for a house to be open beside Director Yang for you.”
“Yes, sir,” Nie Li slightly nodded.
Yang Xin looked at Nie Hai, thinking that Nie Hai actually knows his stuff. He knows that she came to talk to Nie Li.
After bidding goodbyes to Nie Ming and Nie Kai, Nie Li lead Yang Xin to the house that Nie Hai had arranged.
Looking at Nie Li’s back figure, Nie Ming and Nie Kai both understood. Nie Hai removed Nie Wei from his position, raised Nie En to Grand Elder, raised them to be in powerful positions, everything must have something to do with Nie Li. They realised that their understanding of Nie Li was becoming less and less. This time, when Nie Li returned, his changes were like heaven and earth. Regarding Nie Li’s various changes, Nie Ming and Nie Kai were very pleased
