Chapter 4: Confusion of Liu Yan
Nie Qian scolded Nie Tian as she ate and drank to her fullness, but then she fell asleep, so she finally stopped.
Nie Tian had been holding the beast bone in his hand ever since he returned from the draw, yet Nie Qian was unable to find the spiritual energy connection between Nie Tian and the bone.
“Stupid once ...” murmured Nie Qian. “He has so many high rank spiritual tools to choose from, yet he chose this thing….
Suddenly, Nie Donghai's voice came from outside. “Ter up.. Even if he gets the highest ranked bead, it will also be useless for him. None of the seven spiritual tools were suitable for him. I should have known from the beginning that getting her to participate in the lottery would not be productive.”
As Nie Qian turned to look, she discovered that Nie Donghai and Liu Yan of the Cloudsoaring sect had gathered. “Dad. Mr Liu.”
Nie Donghai glanced lovingly at Nie Tian, who was sound asleep, lying on his back with his limbs spread widely. Then he sighed softly, frowned, and said, “A while ago, I secretly tested it in hopes of determining its inner spiritual energy attribute. However..”
After a pause, he continued, “Perhaps because of my insufficient cultivation base, I failed to sense the fluctuations of spiritual energy within him. I knew back then that even if he participated in the draw, it was highly likely that he would not get much.
“That's the reason I didn't try so hard to put it into the voting convention.”
Nie Qian was surprised at once confused. “But dad, after I begged you for this opportunity, you did help anyway ..”
Nie Donghai forced a smile. “ Deep down, I still don't want to give up. I hope a miracle happens. From the looks of it, I was hoping too much for this matter. ”
“That's my mistake.” Nie Qian blamed herself.
At that moment, he realized Nie Donghai loved Nie Tian as much as he did and he would even get into a conflict with everyone in the Nie clan again, only to fight for a slight chance for Nie Tian.
Even though he knew all his efforts could be in vain, he still did.
“Let me take a closer look.” While he was speaking, Liu Yan walked to the window and extended his hand over the sleeping Nie Tian.
A white aura spun out from Liu Yan's left palm. His misty and bright appearance made his hands white like jade.
Liu Yan gently placed his hand onto Nie Tian's lower abdomen as he narrowed his eyes in concentration. A hair-thin chunk of spiritual energy emerged from his hand and entered Nie Tian's lower abdomen, gradually seeping into his limbs and bones.
Nie Tian looked comfortable in his sleep, as a smile appeared on his fat little face. He even snored a little, as if he was having a beautiful dream.
A warm, jade-like light gradually covered the surface of Nie Tian's body, as if he was a porcelain doll in the light of a lantern.
However, Nie Donghai and Nie Qian looked at Nie Tian with worried gazes.
They were fully aware that a jade-like luster only came from Liu Yan's spiritual energy.
The spiritual energy did not trigger any changes after wandering around Nie Tian's body, meaning Nie Tian's body did not contain any spiritual energy waves.
A while later, Liu Yan gently took his hand before turning to Nie Donghai and shaking his head.
Nie Donghai and Nie Qian looked, aghast.
Liu Yan was also confused. “It shouldn't be like this. I am familiar with the natural talent of junior martial sister. Forget about Black Cloud City as a whole, even in the Cloud Sect, his talent was among the best. Even married to a completely untalented human being, her son should have inherited some of his talents. It shouldn't be like this.
“I did a thorough search on Nie Tian's body, but I really didn't feel any spiritual energy fluctuations.”
“Hah ..” Nie Donghai let out a long sigh and looked frustrated.
“How is it useful?” Nie Qian said bitterly, “The children are still small. As they grow up and begin to understand the words of adults, they will begin to develop spiritual energy. Spiritual strength was the key to measuring the strength of a Qi warrior. It is also a source of real power. How far could he go just by relying on his physical strength? ”
“This is also the one I worry about the most.” Nie Donghai added, “Children who have special spiritual energy attributes in their bodies can practice spiritual methods that match their inner attributes. One by one, they would thrive, building their foundations early on. Only those children had any hope of reaching the ninth level of Qi at fifteen, therefore gaining the support of the Cloud Sect. ”
“Since Nie Tian has yet to clearly show his cultivation attributes, he might have to go down a slower cultivation path. That meant that he had almost no hope of reaching the ninth level of Qi Refining at the age of fifteen, and hence, the door of the Cloudsoaring sect would be closed to him permanently. Unable to enter the Cloudsoaring sect, he would be trapped in the Nie clan all his life.”
Liu Yan came to Nie Donghai's side, patted him on the shoulder, and said sincerely, “It's not a bad thing for him not to enter the Cloudy sect. Among the young and talented Mendung sects, many died from premature deaths. On the way to the top, each step can be fatal. To be able to pass through that tribulation unharmed, one must have an impressive fate.
“To live life safely and peacefully like Nie Tian can also be a blessing.”
Liu Yan's words reminded Nie Donghai of her late daughter Nie Jin, before she felt a pain in her heart and was completely at a loss for words.
“Since the problem here has been resolved, I will now return to the Cloudy sect. Back when junior martial sister was practicing cultivation in the sect, I acted as her mentor, so I really liked junior martial sister and attach great importance to her. Brother, you can be sure. I will make every effort to find the man who killed him. Whenever there is news, I will tell you. ”
Liu Yan gently patted Nie Donghai on the shoulder before walking out of the room.
“Master Liu, thank you very much for everything,” said Nie Donghai full of thanks.
Nie Qian echoed Nie Donghai's words and quickly said, “Thank you, Mr. Liu.”
They intended to see Liu Yan out, but by the time they reached the door, Liu Yan's speed had increased to such an extent that he had already disappeared into the distance.
“Master Liu is very kind to us,” muttered Nie Donghai with a frown, “If not for her, a clan member ... probably wouldn't have let Nie Tian go easily.”
“After Little Tian and I left, were those people.?” Nie Qian said with hatred.
Nie Donghai nodded in agreement. “Of course they make a fuss. Each thought of the fact that Nie Tian was not the true grandson of the Nie clan, and also that he made a mess at the drawing convention. They insisted on punishing him. Fortunately, Master Liu helped and spoke up, so they did not dare to question me further, otherwise I would not be able to protect him.
“Unfortunately, Mr. Liu has left and will not return often in the future.” Nie Qian sighed.
“As long as I am still the head of the Nie clan, I will not tolerate their sassness!” Nie Donghai said in a cold tone.
“I'm afraid .. I'm afraid you can't keep that position for long, dad.” Nie Qian smiled bitterly.
“I'll keep it until the day I can't. I must seek justice for you and Jin’er!” Nie Donghai's face was firm and firm. After saying these words, he also stepped out of the room.
Watching the previous heroic figure disappear into the distance, Nie Qian sat in front of the door with a sad face, and her mind floated away.
Inside, Nie Tian was still sound asleep, but the thread of spiritual energy that Liu Yan had left on his body during his analysis remained.
Due to the flowing spiritual energy, Nie Tian's flesh and skin started to ripple slightly. It almost looked like a small wave flowing across the water.
Every time his flesh and skin shook gently, the spiritual energy would become somewhat dim, as if his flesh and blood were greedily absorbing and purifying spiritual energy.
Neither Liu Yan, Nie Donghai, nor Nie Qian knew anything about this.
Normally, Nie Tian would only take a nap for an hour.
But today, he slept for four hours, which was very surprising. When he reached the point where there was not the slightest bit of spiritual power left in his body, he ended up stretching his limbs comfortably and got up.
