Chapter 225: Scheming. Nie Ling’s Grandfather Nie Dingtian

Hearing Xu Que’s threatening words, Nie Longxiang’s expression turned cold. He looked at Xu que coldly as he spoke.

“Senior, I respect you as an elder, but I’m not threatening you like this. As for handing over the person you mentioned, that’s even more ridiculous. Handing over who? Who are you talking about?”

He thought to himself, ‘indeed, he was here for that kid, Su Yi.’ However, he did not show it on his face.

At this moment, when Xu Aue saw Nie Longxiang talking to him like this, he immediately thought of how he had been toyed with by a bratty kid. Now, he was about to be humiliated by a junior like this. He was about to flare up.

However, Tang Shang, who was standing at the side, could see through Xu Que’s thoughts. He reached out to hold him down and said calmly, “Old Ghost, please calm down. Let me explain to patriarch Nie.”

After saying that, Tang Shang turned to Nie Longxiang and said with a smile, “patriarch Nie, have you been paying attention to the events in the Central Plains recently?”

Hearing that, Nie Longxiang also gave Tang Shang a friendly look and said calmly, “Senior Tang, I know a little bit about the events in the Central Plains.”

After that, Tang Shang continued, “patriarch Nie understands that actually, we only came here today to talk about one thing.”

Hearing this, Nie Longxiang’s valiant gaze flickered slightly as he thought to himself.

‘This old monster of the Tang clan is probably scheming something. I have to be careful not to fall into the other party’s trap.’

Thus, he looked directly at the other party and indifferently said, “what’s the matter? Please speak. If there’s anything my Nie family can help with, we will also consider to help.”

The other party heard this and smiled.

“Alright, it’s good that you said that. This matter is a long story. It has to start from a month ago.”

“At that time, we…”

In short, this Tang Shang’s words were full of falsehoods. In general, it emphasized that they had to find the person who harmed their interests.

“That person is Su Yi, the one who had a deal with your Nie family. I wonder if patriarch Nie still has any impression of this person?”

Tang Shang’s gaze focused as he uttered the last words. His gaze was like a torch as he stared at Nie Longxiang’s face and actions.

If Nie Longxiang’s expression was strange, or if he had some hesitation, then it was very likely that Su Yi was hiding in the Nie family.

This also explained why their spies could not find any trace of Su Yi.

However, Nie Longxiang already had a smile on his face. When he heard the other party say the name Su Yi, his eyes unconsciously fluctuated.

This strange fluctuation happened to be noticed by Tang Shang.

The corners of Tang Shang’s mouth slightly rose. Whether it was a cultivator or an ordinary person, when a critical point suddenly appeared, they would always be unable to control their expressions or the subtle movements on their bodies.

He had taken advantage of this point and said Su Yi’s name. As expected, Nie Longxiang knew where Su Yi was.

Nie Longxiang pretended to be slightly pondering as he also said with a light smile, “Senior Tang, what is my impression of Su Yi? I’ve only met that person once and haven’t seen him since. As for my impression, I only know about this person called Su Yi.”

His sharp eyes were very clear and did not seem to have any fluctuations.

Now it was Tang Shang’s turn to frown. Nie Longxiang’s words didn’t seem to be a lie at all.

If he really had only met Su Yi once, could it be that Su Yi was not hiding in the Nie family’s estate?

The expression in his eyes did not change as he nodded and said indifferently, “so that’s how it is. Since the Nie family hasn’t interacted with that thief, then it’ll be the end. I’m afraid that when we catch that thief, it’ll affect the development of your Nie family.”

After Tang Chang finished speaking, Nie Longxiang’s eyes turned slightly cold. It seemed that these people were certain that Su Yi was in the manor, which was why they intentionally or unintentionally threatened the Nie family.

This time, it was a courtesy. The next time they came, they would most likely be enemies.

Although their Nie family still had a certain foundation, facing two aristocratic families at the same time and the oppression of one power, it might not be easy.

Perhaps, in the end, the Thousand Treasures Pavilion would also interfere. At that time, it would be difficult to deal with.

“Hahaha, everyone, you came to my Nie family as a guest and didn’t invite this old man. What is there to talk about with a junior?”

Along with a voice that sounded like a loud bell from the depths of the Nie family’s courtyard, an old man with a red face and full of energy slowly walked out.

Nie Longxiang’s face lit up when he heard this voice.

The other elders were even more shocked.

“Nie Dingtian!! Didn’t you go to the central sky region to form your core?! Why are you here?!”

“Why can’t I be here? Please, this is my Nie family.”

The old man came to the pavilion and pushed Nie Longxiang.

“Father.”

Nie Longxiang respectfully called out to the person who came, but he did not know why Nie Dingtian pushed him.

Nie Dingtian impatiently said, “to, go. That good girl in the backyard is looking for you.”

“Ling ‘er?”

“Yes.”

Hearing this, Nie longxiang stood up and left.

Nie Dingtian sat on the stool and looked at the four shocked old men. Then, he smiled and said, “let’s have a chat, old friends…”

Nie Longxiang quickly walked into the backyard of the Nie family.

In his eyes, mother and daughter were sitting together like sisters. There was worry in their eyes.

“Father, how’s the situation?” Seeing the person who came, Nie Ling immediately stood up and asked.

Hearing this, Nie Longxiang sighed and then shook his head.

“Those old guys have already determined that our Nie family has hidden that kid. It’s probably only a matter of time before we are oppressed. But fortunately, your grandfather has already come out of closed-door cultivation. With your grandfather around, at least they won’t dare to act recklessly.”

Nie Longxiang’s eyes flashed with worship.

Who didn’t know of Nie Dingtian’s name in the great desolate region?

He once suppressed the existence of all the great families by himself. At that time, the Nie family was at its peak.

However, later, as the peak of the great desolate region, Nie Dingtian was injured in a secret realm.

It was also at that time that Nie Dingtian disappeared from the great wilderness region.

Many people guessed that Nie Dingtian had already formed his core and headed to the central sky region. However, who knew that Nie Dingtian was only recuperating in the depths of the Nie family’s secret realm.

This period of rest lasted for almost ten years.

At the same time, the Nie family also started to develop into a trading company. This caused the new generation to think that the Nie family was just a trading company.

However, only those old monsters and the older generation knew that the Nie family once had such an influential figure.

In the pavilion of the Nie family, old master Nie Dingtian smiled as he looked at Tang Shang, the two elders of the sword pavilion, and Xu Que.

“Everyone, please take care.”
