XuanHuan 8
Those words almost froze Nie Wenyuan.
How could he expect the visit was an adjudgment.
Mo Tai was evidently ordering that Nie Wenyuan hand over Nie Tian.
"My dear lord. How many mischieves has he done in half a day?" Nie Wenyuan was sweating hard and sobbing within.
Nie Tian had been absent for just half a day when he had made splendid achievements by disabling the first young master of the Bas and then hiding the princess of that Magistrate's Mansion. How many lives had he to pay for them?
And it was not until this moment did Nie Wenyuan completely believe that Nie Tian's disabling the young master of the Bas's was as true as steel.
Mo Tai was a problem trickier that the Bas.
It was known to every single household in Moyang City that Mo Tai had no son but one daughter who was treated as an apple of his eye. It was like a tiger sniffing the rose, fearing his paws might hurt it.
Mo Tai would not let the Nies get away with it that Nie Tian should do something to Mo Ruxi.
And Nie Wenyuan knew it perfectly well that Mo Tai was a man of integrity and reputation who would not make up facts.
Nie Wenyuan felt his eyebrows catching fire.
He could handle the Bas. But the Magistrate was more than his capacity.
"Mr. Nie, will you not hand over Nie Tian?" Mo Tai's face grew colder and his words transformed into weapons.
Mo Ruxi was his only daughter or his everything. He would definitely get even for Mo Ruxi at the cost of his life.
That Mo Ruxi returned home late almost irritated him as ants in his pants.
Upon hearing that Mo Ruxi went out of the city with Nie Tian, he rushed to the Nies without a single halt.
Mo Tai was determined to see Nie Tian and his daughter today, anyway.
Nie Wenyuan sensed the fury of Mo Tai and swallowed his saliva out of nervousness, "Mr. Magistrate, I guarantee you that our family master is not in the Mansion. If you don't believe what I say, please descend to search the Mansion yourself."
He had cursed Nie Tian for the umpteenth time within himself. That the little bastard shitted around and hung about left him working his ass off the mess.
Nie Wenyuan even thought once that Nie Tian really cheated Mo Ruxi into running away.
And that would mean an end to the Nies.
On the other side, Ba Wuli was savoring the joyful moment.
Mr. Magistrate could force Nie Tian to show himself up if the Bas couldn't.
The Bas were all wearing delightful faces when they were waiting for the drama of the Nies.
On the contrary, the Nies kept straight faces. They had been clearly taken aback.
Nobody in Moyang City did not know of the affection of Mo Tai for his daughter. The Nies would ask for it if Mo Tai got pissed off.
There was only one guy who felt delighted, Nie Santong.
The greater the mess, the happier he was.
Only in this way could he possibly reclaim the rule of the Nies.
Having listened to Nie Wenyuan, Mo Tai turned around with a start and released his punch.
"Bang." Following the great sound, the character "Nie" inscribed above the door of the Nie's Mansion was broken into crumbs.
Mo Tai growled with all the violence, "Nie Wenyuan, I was not born yesterday. I'll spare you one minute, when and if Nie Tian did not show up, your Mansion will end up like the plaque. "
Mo Tai had flied into a great rage, which was evident.
Not seeing Mo Ruxi around could made him go ballistic.
Nie Wenyuan was shocked and speechless where he stood.
Mo Tai was so powerful that Nie could not absolutely cope with him.
"Everybody, listen up. Search the entire city for our family master. Find him whether he was under the ground." Nie Wenyuan had no alternatives.
A calamity would befall the Nies if Nie Tian did not show up tonight.
Just as the last word was heard, another voice followed.
"Don't bother. Here I am." Tracing the sound, the crowd saw Nie Tian.
Beside him was a gorgeous beauty, Mo Ruxi.
Nie Tian insisted on that Mo Ruxi stay with him when she planned to return to the Magistrate's Mansion. Mo Ruxi had no choice but follow him where he was.
With the Phoenix Seal within her body, Mo Ruxi could be out of control at any time. And Nie Tian would not allow an active volcano to ramble around in Moyang City.
Mo Ruxi would be most safe with Nie Tian who would take measures as necessary when the Phoenix Seal went wrong.
"Thank God, you are finally back." Nie Wenyuan was almost shed tears out of excitement after he recognized Nie Tian's face.
One minute later, the Nies might have been turned into ashes.
"Ruxi." Mo Tai shouted and strode over, putting his arms around Mo Ruxi, as if she was still a six-or-seven-year-old girl.
"Dad, I'm okay." Mo Ruxi was a little embarrassed in front of such a crowd and she struggled to break free.
Nie Tian could not help shaking his head at the sight of Mo Tai and thinking himself, "With such a father, it is no wonder that Mo Ruxi would find it difficult to murder."
The parental love seemed to have gone too far and become lavish.
Whether Mo Tai was a good father?
Can't tell for certain.
He was when Mo Ruxi was kept away from any harm with his care.
He wasn't when Mo Ruxi could not truly grow up with his care.
Nie Tian shook off the thoughts and scurried to Nie Wenyuan, with his cold eyes scanning the Bas, saying coldly, "Isn't it a circus? Or is it a friendship-forging party between the two families?"
Everyone of the Nies were amused by Nie Tian.
Nie Wenyuan cast his eyes to Nie Tian, thinking to himself,"For God's sake, how could you joke around in such a tension? You really have got a big heart. Alright, you are the family head anyway. You can mess up as you like. I'd not say nothing if you can keep the Nies intact."
Ba Wuli glared at Nie Tian, as if to breathing fire. He would have crashed Nie Tian was his palm strike but for the presence of Nie Wenyuan.
Before he said anything, Ba Ziliang came out from behind.
"Nie Tian, finally you will show up. Do you still remember me?" Ba Ziliang squinted at Nie Tian with his scornful eyes.
"Ah-Ha." Nie Tian put on an exaggerated smile, "Ba Ziliang, my surrender. What now? Your elder brother has been disabled by me, so you feel itchy to try that again?"
Nie Tian's words set off a bomb in the crowd.
"Asshole. The young master was disabled by this guy. How could he acknowledge that in a flagrant way and in defiance of us?"
"I suppose Nie Tian's a loser. How dare he disable our young master. His death will be a deserving repayment."
The Bas were outraged.
"It was heroic of our family master to disable Ba Ziyang, wasn't it?"
"You tell me. He really is our family master. And that news is so pleasant to my ears."
"Now that the Bas have long been bullying us, it's time for us to fight back."
The Nies were thrilled.
Nie Santong responded with contemptuous eyes, thinking to himself, "A young and naive idiot. You don't have to say that out even if you disabled the young master. You are simply asking for trouble."
He was definitely unable to read the mind of Nie Tian.
To be honest, Nie Tian did not attach much significance to the Bas.
He acted aggressively because he could keep the situation under control.
Nie Tian knew it when he saw the affection of Mo Tai for his daughter.
Ba Ziliang, ridiculed by Nie Tian, put on a twisted face, rolled his eyes and gave a scornful smile, "Nie Tian, are you still living in the fantasy that you are still that top talent of Moyang City. Three years has passed and you are still a Vital Veins at the ninth level. In contrast, I am already a Vital Spirits at the fourth level. You are nothing but an insect to me. One finger is all it will take to finish you. The top talent of Moyang City, my ass."
Ba Ziliang burst into laughter in the end.
The excitement was overwhelming when he was able to verbally abuse him, the once top talent.
"A Vital Spirits at his fourth level? A bad ass?" Nie Tian wore a cold smile and looked at Ba Ziliang with compassion, "Ba Ziliang, even if I only got the cultivation of Vital Veins at the ninth level, you are still no match for me. You are still my surrender. I just can't see why you keep talking garbage."
The brothers of the Bas were identical in the sense that they were arrogant whenever they got above themselves.
A Vital Spirits at the fourth level would mean nothing to Nie Tian in his previous life.
That a man who lost position and influence might be subjected to much indignity best described the current situation of Nie Tian.
Nie Tian, who lost his position and influence, would be nobody's puppet; instead, he would toy with this nobody.
"Nie Tian, you're talking big. A Vital Veins at the ninth level was no different from a small potato. How come that you should boast yourself in front of me. Believe it or not, I can claim your life whenever I like." Ba Ziliang was irritated, echoing coarse voices from his throat and projecting the ferocity from his eyes, as if to eating Nie Tian alive.
"Whenever you like?" Nie Tian replied with a scornful smile, "I dare you."
Ba Ziliang was burning with anger. His gritted his teeth so hard that the mouth almost bled. He glared at Nie Wenyuan who was standing behind Nie Tian and roared, "Nie Tian, you coward. You will not have been such aggressive but for your old codger who got your back, will you? "
Ba Ziliang believed that Nie Tian was being aggressive just because Nie Wenyuan was there for him.
Nie Tian would have been a quiet and nice girl in the absence of Nie Wenyuan.
Nie Tian darkened his face and looked at Ba Ziyang with some more coldness, "Ba Ziyang, I got my own back. And that's enough. I hereby challenge you that I'm gonna bring you down within three moves; if not, you can call me what you want. "
