C12 Heretic Again

Martial skills were not something that ordinary people could have. Most aristocrats had some inherited martial skills, and in the common families, martial skills were not only ordinary but also rare, so the martial skill that Nie Zhen gave Lee Zhenqi could definitely be considered a heirloom. Even in the future, the Li family could use this martial skill to obtain a position in the Wealthy Class.

Thus, when he found out that Nie Zhen gave a martial skill to Lee Zhenqi, especially when Li Shiqi discovered that this martial skill was quite high level, he immediately prepared some gifts, intending to pay a visit to Nie Family.

It was sufficient to express his feelings. After all, Nie Family ruled over the entire Guiyan City, what did the Nie Family have in it? This present was mainly for her heart, and also meant that Lady Li didn't hesitate to stand behind Nie Family.

"Hehehehe, Brother Li, do you really need to bother me with such a small matter?" When Nie Zhuang saw Li Shiqi, he immediately knew the reason for his visit. He was already very familiar with Li Shiqi and usually addressed him as a brother.

"Big Brother Nie, this matter may be a small matter to you, but to my Lee Family, this is a big matter …" I saw the martial skill that Xiao Zhen gave to my son... "Even I am unable to comprehend the profundity of this martial skill in one go. It would not be an exaggeration to say that this martial skill is the Li Clan's inherited martial skill …." He knew that although Lee Zhenqi and Nie Zhen were on good terms, he did not make any significant contributions towards Nie Family. This sudden reward made him feel very ashamed.

"Heh heh... Since this is a matter between children, as elders, we don't need to care too much about it. " Nie Zhuang's words were a reassurance to Li Shiqi, reassuring him.

"But then again, where is Little Zhen? I came here specifically to thank him … "

"He should be cultivating in the backyard now, but it's almost time for lunch. Xiaoqi should be going to look for him. Brother Li, why don't you stay and have a drink with us?" We haven't reminisced about the past for a long time. " When Nie Zhuang saw that it was almost time for lunch, he invited Li Shiqi.

"Hahaha... "Okay, since Big Brother Nie has invited me, then I won't dare to refuse …"

Li Shiqi and Nie Zhuang could be considered to have some ties with each other, so they didn't have much scruples towards each other.

On the other side, Nie Zhen had just finished training when his sister came to look for him for a meal.

"Sis, actually, you don't have to wait for me to eat with you every time." Nie Zhen said to Nie Xiaoqi with a smile.

"Nonsense, our family will naturally eat together. Are we really lacking this time?" Nie Xiaoqi looked at her little brother with a doting smile.

Every time, Nie Xiaoqi would wait for Nie Zhen to finish his training, and everyone would eat together. Sometimes Nie Zhen would train late, and Nie Xiaoqi would also wait for him, and Nie Zhen would end his training every day on time to prevent Nie Xiaoqi from waiting too long.

Nie Xiaoqi was six years older than Nie Zhen and was now close to twenty. Although she was not yet at the age where she would worry about marrying, in the Yutang Country, she could already be considered a big girl and there was no one she liked.

Normally, Nie Xiaoqi would either help out with family matters or take care of her own brother, so she didn't have the time and mindset to do so. This made Nie Zhuang and Nie Zhen feel that they owed Nie Xiaoqi, especially Nie Zhuang, who felt that they had delayed their own daughter even though Nie Xiaoqi had never complained about it.

However, just as Nie Xiaoqi was about to call Nie Zhen for a meal, outside the Nie Family Hall, another guest had come to visit.

After Nie Zhen and Nie Xiaoqi came to the main hall to greet Nie Zhuang, Nie Zhen saw that in front of the guest seat, besides Li Si Qi, sat a father and son pair. They were dressed extravagantly, but he did not recognize them.

When Li Shiqi saw Nie Zhen and Nie Xiaoqi, he immediately stood up with a smile and said, "Our Little Patriarch Nie and Niece Nie are both here, sorry to disturb you."

Nie Zhen was startled, with his understanding of Li Siqi, Lee Family and Nie Family were not that different, and Li Siqi would not call him Little Patriarch either, unless it was in a situation where Li Siqi had to keep her identity under the Nie Family.

Which is to say, the father and son facing him, were definitely outsiders.

"Zhen'er, Qi'er, this is the Patriarch of Guiyan City Liu family, Liu Zhenlin, and his son, Liu Mang." With Nie Zhuang's introduction, Nie Zhen was completely clear.

This Liu family, in the Guiyan City of the commoners, was considered the number one existence. In terms of family strength, if not for the fact that the strongest of elites were not as good as Nie Zhuang, their power might have already surpassed the Nie Family. Within the Guiyan City, it would not be an exaggeration for the Liu family to say that they were more than ten thousand people under one person.

These things weren't really that big of a deal. The most important thing was that a few years ago, Mrs Liu had somehow found out about one of the three Wealthy Classes' Shen Family, which was actually a distant relative.

The reason why he spent so much effort to get the seats of the Wealthy Class with Shen Family was not because he wanted the seats of the Wealthy Class but because he wanted the seats of this distant relative who could still be considered supportive. This way, his Shen Family would be able to grow even more powerful, although he might not be able to compare to the Mu Rong family, but he could at least put some distance between himself and the Hai Clan.

"I don't know …" What brings Patriarch Liu here this time? " After Nie Zhuang introduced Liu Zhenlin's identity to his children, he turned to them and asked.

Liu Zhenlin didn't have much respect for Nie Zhuang either. After Nie Zhuang spoke, he slowly said: "Patriarch Nie, I came here today specifically to take care of the future of our Guiyan City."

"Oh? I wonder what kind of advice Patriarch Liu would have? " Nie Zhuang said with a fake smile.

"Hahahaha..." Patriarch Nie also knows, that in half a year, it will be the time for my Yutang Country to be evaluated by the aristocracy once every ten years. Liu Zhenlin almost had his nostrils pointed at Nie Zhuang, those who didn't know what was wrong with his neck.

"What else can I think? "Naturally, we have to do everything we can to protect the status of our clan." Nie Zhuang said plainly.

"Tsk tsk tsk tsk..." But, Patriarch Nie, forgive me for saying that, but with regards to the decline of Nie Clan, this is a matter of the nail on the board, it is a clear and obvious matter, for this year's aristocracy assessment, Nie Family has been removed from the Wealthy Class seat, that is for sure, but I feel that even if we have lost the Wealthy Class seat, the next successor of Guiyan City, will still be a native of Guiyan City, and our own family will always be concerned about our own family, it is better than an outsider taking charge of Guiyan City. If Patriarch Nie thinks that I am right, this time's aristocracy assessment, you can take the seat and let me, the Zen family, I guarantee that you will inherit your Nie Family and treat me well … "

"Liu Zhenlin!" "How dare you!" Before Liu Zhenlin could finish his sentence, Li Shiqi could no longer bear to listen anymore. He slapped the table and shouted angrily: "Liu Zhenlin, Liu Zhenlin, you're full of evil intentions. Who gave you the guts to bark like a dog?! Not to mention that the Aristocrat's assessment has not yet started, and the results are not yet known, step back ten thousand times, even if the Nie Family lost the Wealthy Class seat one day, what qualifications does your Liu family have to get involved?! "

Not only was the Li Clan on good terms with Nie Family, just a short while ago, Li Shiqi had even received benefits from Nie Family. Now that he saw someone had come to slap Nie Family, he naturally rushed forward.

"Hmph …" Where did this thing come from? "Patriarch Nie, let's ignore him …" Wu Tie rolled his eyes at Li Shiqi as he let out a breath of air.

The Li Clan was not even considered to be in the top five Guiyan City, so Liu Zhenlin did not even put Nie Family in his eyes, and naturally did not place the Li Clan in his eyes.

At this time, Nie Zhen suddenly stepped forward and said, "Patriarch Liu, right? We understand your meaning in Nie Family, but unfortunately, you came a step too late … "

"Oh? What do you mean? " Liu Zhenlin looked at Nie Zhen.

"The seats in the Wealthy Class like our Nie Family have long been reserved by the people in the Shen Family. Even if you wanted to interfere, it would be too late, right?" Nie Zhen said as he looked at Liu Zhenlin with a mocking expression.

Liu Zhenlin pretended not to know: "Oh? There was actually such a thing? "What a pity..."

At the beginning, he had really put his life on the line trying to get on the other party's Shen Family, afraid that others would not know of the relationship between Mrs Liu and the Shen Family.

Now that he was relying on Shen Family, he would instead start to put on airs, afraid that others would think that he was a backer of Shen Family. In reality, he wanted to cover it up.

"Moreover, even if Shen Family covets my Nie Family's Wealthy Class seat, what is there to be afraid of?! Patriarch Liu, you don't have to waste your efforts! If you truly have any intentions towards my Nie Family's Wealthy Class seat, after half a year, speak with strength in the Aristocrat's assessment! " Nie Zhuang furiously stood up, pointed at Liu Zhenlin and his son, and shouted after expressing his stance, "Patriarch Liu, please go back. I won't send you off!"

"You! What a good Nie Family, I kindly offered you a way out, but you didn't know how to appreciate your kindness. Forget it, when you become drowning dogs, don't blame me! " Liu Zhenlin originally wanted to put on an act, but after seeing Nie Zhuang fail to appreciate his kindness, he wasn't afraid of falling out with him.

"Rest assured, my Nie Family has not reached the point where everyone wants to hit me, especially scoundrels like you!" Nie Zhen stepped forward and added.

"Nie Zhen, don't be complacent! The Aristocrat's assessment will be the Martial Arts Student Exam before the assessment. Let's see how many places you can take the Martial Arts Student Exam this time! " At this time, Liu Mang saw his father's disgrace, so he stood up and pointed at Nie Zhen without any restraint.

With that, Liu Zhenlin and his son left the Nie Mansion in anger. In the end, they still didn't dare to openly disrespect the Nie Mansion and Nie Family. What they relied on was just Shen Family as their backer.
