Chapter 59 – Director Yang paying a visit
Over the years, the number of the Heavenly Marks Family’s younger generations entering the Genius class is only a dozen. Although some were not able to enter into the Genius class, that does not mean that they do not have any value in nurturing. However, those who entered into the Genius class, are those with extraordinary talents. Ultimately, having shocking achievements.
Nie Hai, as a Patriarch, has always been impartial. He has never favored one branch, therefore, therefore, he has his prestige within the family.
“Nie Li, what do you say in your defense? Why would you offend the Sacred Family?” Nie Hai looked at Nie Li and asked. In his view, Nie Li is not someone who would offend people without a reason among the younger generations. Furthermore, now that Nie Li has been accepted into the Genius class at the Holy Orchid Institute, he already has the qualifications to be the focus of nurturing.
“Patriarch, it’s true that I offended the Sacred Family and brought troubles for the Heavenly Marks Family. However, didn’t I solve the problem?” Nie Li said, neither obsequious nor supercilious. He still has to show respect towards Nie Hai. After rebirth, he will not face the majestic Nie Hai like a coward. Nie Li’s mental state is already above those people.
Nie Hai looked at Nie Li, a little surprised. He has a feeling that today’s Nie Li is not the same as the usual one. When facing him, Nie Li is not timid. He is facing the Patriarch with magnanimity and demeanor.
“Hahaha, that’s funny. We were helped by the Alchemist Association and, therefore, were rid of the Sacred Family’s suppression. The Alchemist Association needs our help with various herbs and in exchange they help our Heavenly Marks Family. What has it got to do with you? How big is your ability for you to actually say that you helped our Heavenly Marks Family to solve our problems?” Nie Xiaori said. He said this because he was asked to by Nie Wei.
Hearing Nie Xiaori’s words, Nie Li lightly glanced at Nie Xiaori and the Nie Wei and said, “That’s really funny. The position of the Alchemist Association within Glory City is extraordinary, comparable to the three Major families. Why would they help the weak, little Heavenly Marks Family? Is it just because the Heavenly Marks Family knows how to grow herbs? There are many families out there that knows how to grow herbs. Furthermore, why would they give thirty percent of the acquisition price to the Heavenly Marks Family?”
Nie Hai and others were slightly startled. This is also the question that lied within their hearts. The Alchemist Association did not only just help the Heavenly Marks Family, it’s trying to get on their good side. However, they are curious as to why such a powerful existence, like the Alchemist Association, would it try to get on the Heavenly Marks Family’s good side? It doesn’t make sense.
Seeing the indifferent and calm Nie Li, whether if it’s Nie Hai, Nie Wei, Nie En or various higher ups of the Heavenly Marks Family, they were all curious. Could it be that all this is really linked to Nie Li?
Nie Li’s father, Nie Ming by the side saw how Nie Li contradicted the enforcement elder, and he had already began to panic. He doesn’t have any cultivation, and is only a member of the branch family. Which also means that he was no different from a farmer. When he saw the scene before him, he quickly knelt down and said, “Patriarch, Nie Li is still young, he doesn’t know anything. I’m willing to take the punishment on his behalf, please show mercy to him!”
“Father, get up!” said Nie Li, watching Nie Ming kneel down, and frowned. He immediately went to his father and helped him up. His father is a honest man, “Father, you don’t need to kneel to anyone!”
“Xiao Li, you have made a grave mistake, and still don’t admit!” Nie Ming scolded. In his view, if Nie Li were to admit his mistake, there is still chance to ask for mercy. However, Nie Li contradicting the Patriarch like this would only make things more complicated.
Seeing Nie Ming kneeling down, made Nie Li feel a little sour in his nose. No matter if it’s his previous life or his present life, his father did too much for him. In his previous life, he had his father suffer too much, in this life, he will not let his father suffer even a little. Nie Li clenched his fist tightly, and angrily glared at Nie Wei, Nie Xiaori, Nie Xiaofeng and the bunch.
Nie Hai looked at Nie Li. He vaguely had a feeling that the Alchemist Association protecting the Heavenly Marks Family must have something to do with Nie Li. He lowered his head towards Nie Ming and said, “Nie Ming, quickly stand up. Before this matter is clarified, no one will give Nie Li any punishment. Although Nie Li has indeed provoked the Sacred Family, our Heavenly Marks Family did not suffer any losses. Therefore, no one will punish Nie Li freely!”
Hearing Nie Hai’s words, Nie Ming had a confused expression
