"Woman? What woman?" Nie Yun was confused and thought for a long time. It seems that no woman came to see him at this time in his previous life.
In his previous life, he was not strong enough and lived in a state of low self-esteem and isolation. Before the invasion of the demon clan, except for his sister and mother, he had hardly spoken to any women. How could anyone find him?
Is it another butterfly effect caused by rebirth?
"Where is she? Take me there!" Confused in his heart, Nie Yun planned to go over and meet her. It was a blessing or a curse that he could not avoid. Anyway, he was in trouble, and he was not afraid of the trouble increasing again.
"She is already waiting in the living room. Young master, please go there by yourself!" Nie Chong smiled when he saw the confused expression on the young master's face, which looked very strange.
"Okay!" Nie Yun didn't pay attention to Nie Chong's attitude and walked toward the living room. Before he entered the room, he heard an excited voice, "Nie Yun, you didn't expect that I would come to see you so soon. Hehe!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a figure rushed out like the wind, with an excited look on her face.
"Luo Qing Cheng? Why is it you..."
When he saw the girl appearing in front of him, Nie Yun realized something and couldn't help but be speechless.
He had been thinking about some girl who came to him in his past life, but he forgot that Luo Qing Cheng was a friend he made in this life. When they separated last night, she seemed to have said that she would come to play with him another day, but he didn't expect that she would come here so quickly!
It seems that this girl is really impatient...
"Of course, it's me. I told my dad when I went back yesterday. My dad said we should never forget the life-saving grace, so I came over as soon as I woke up!" Luo Qing Cheng said with a smile, stretching as she spoke, and her figure appeared graceful under the straightening. If Nie Yun was not determined, he might have nosebleeds.
She deserves to be called Qing Cheng, she is really a seedling that brings disaster to the country and the people!
"You came here as soon as you woke up? Haven't you been waiting here for a long time?" It's past noon now, and you came here at dawn. Haven't I let the dignified city lord's daughter wait all morning?
"Ahem, I slept late yesterday, and it was already past noon when I opened my eyes..." The girl's face turned red when she heard the question.
"..." Nie Yun.
"This must be young master Nie Yun. I am Luo Chen Xiao, the steward of the City Lord's Mansion. Last night the City Lord knew that you saved the young lady, so he specially asked me to come and thank you. These gifts are not considered respectful, so please accept them with a smile!"
When the two walked into the living room, Nie Yun saw an old man coming towards them with a smile.
This old man looks to be sixty or seventy years old, but he does not look old at all. His eyes are shining, his temples are bulging, and the true qi in his body is constantly swirling and condensing. He is actually a powerhouse at the peak of the sixth level of the Qi Sea Gang Realm!
"The city lord is so polite..." Nie Yun didn't expect that the city lord would send such a master to deliver gifts. He was slightly stunned. He looked intently at the living room and found that there were four or five large boxes in the room. The lids of the boxes were opened, and inside there were jewels, elixirs, medicinal materials, weapons, gold, and silver, everything was available.
"This... this gift is too grand. I can't afford it..."
Nie Yun was startled.
"Haha, you're welcome, Master Nie Yun. The city lord said that the young lady is the apple of his eye. If it weren't for you yesterday, it would be hard to escape the hands of the demon. No matter how much money he has, it will be useless! These items are just a thank you and have no other intention. I also hope that the young master will not refuse!"
Luo Chen Xiao said with a smile, his tone was very respectful.
He is a strong man at the peak of the sixth level of the Qi Sea Gang Realm, and he is at the level of a great elder in the four major families. Nie Yun is only a young master in the late fourth level of the True Qi Realm and a down-and-out branch. The strength and status of the two are not the same. But showing such an attitude, it seems that he must have been instructed by the city lord.
"Since the city lord said this, it would be disrespectful to refuse!" Seeing that the other party was sincere and not just going through the motions, Nie Yun stopped declining.
"Master Nie Yun is indeed a dragon among men. The city lord is right!"
Even if the young man saved the young lady, the city lord suddenly presented so many items, and anyone else would probably be frightened and at a loss. The young man in front of him accepted the gift after hearing the explanation, his attitude was calm, and his behavior was measured.
It seemed that these boxes of treasures were not as important as the city lord's gratitude. To have such a calm mind at such an age made Luo Chen Xiao involuntarily look at him differently. Originally, he felt that it was beneath his status to be so polite to a young man from a small family, but now seeing Nie Yun's attitude, he felt that such a young man was worth befriending.
"You're welcome!" Nie Yun responded.
"Young master Nie Yun, the city lord asked me to tell you..." The two of them said a few polite words. Luo Chen Xiao suddenly changed his tone and lowered his voice. Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly heard "Boom!" outside the living room. There was a loud noise, and the newly installed gate of the branch collapsed!
"Huh?" Hearing the shocking sound, Nie Yun walked out of the living room and looked into the yard, his eyes suddenly narrowed.
"Everyone in the Nie Tian branch, listen. The family shadow guards have been ordered to arrest Nie Yun and Nie Ling. Anyone who dares to stop us will be killed without mercy!"
There was a loud and long sound, and then more than a dozen men in black poured into the yard. The loud noise just now was caused by them violently breaking down the door.
"Black Shadow Guards?" Hearing this name, Nie Yun felt confused.
This escort is the core force of the Nie family. It is said that it is personally controlled by the clan leader. How come it was changed to arrest him?
Even if he injured Nie Yuan Qing, the captain of the law enforcement team, he couldn't use them!
"Are you Nie Yun? Let us abolish the cultivation realm immediately and bring you back to the family. Otherwise, everyone in your Nie Tian branch will die, leaving no chickens or dogs alive!"
While Nie Yun was thinking, a young man from the Shadow Guards strode up, giving orders with an arrogant and domineering attitude.
This young man is in his thirties and is at the peak of the fifth level of the Qi Sea, the Manifestation realm. However, judging from the stability of his aura at the peak of the Manifestation realm, he is much more powerful than Nie Yuan Qing. This is indeed the most mysterious force controlled by the family patriarch!
"Everyone must die? Leaving no chickens or dogs alive? Our branch has the honor of Luo Shui Golden Shield issued by the city lord himself. Even if the family wants to sanction us, it must first submit an application to the city lord's palace. Do you dare to attack us?"
Nie Yun flipped his wrist and took out the Luo Shui Golden Shield again from his arms.
If you want to kill a minister with a yellow mantle, without an imperial edict issued by the emperor himself, let alone an ordinary minister, not even a prince, would have the right!
The current situation is like this. Luo Shui Golden Shield is a supreme honor hosted by the city lord's palace and jointly issued by the four major families. Branches with this honor enjoy extremely high rights and have great immunity even if they commit crimes. Now this young man from the Black Shadow Guards actually wants to exterminate the clan directly. He simply doesn't take the four major families and the city lord's palace seriously.
"You don't have to use this to fool us. We are under orders from the clan leader and only obey his orders. Don't talk about a small Luo Shui gold shield today. Even if the city lord comes over, it will be useless. If he speaks in person, we will just treat it as farts, it's of no use at all!"
The young man roared loudly.
