Chapter 8: The Outbreak of Strange Diseases
After leaving the square, they arrived at a pavilion in the garden. As Nie Donghai stopped, Nie Tian softly said, “Sorry, grandfather.”
Nie Donghai turned around and gently patted Nie Tian on the head. “Nothing,” he said affectionately. “Grandfather is tired and it's time I rest.”
“Grandfather,” muttered Nie Tian slowly, “if I don't mess up.
“No.” Nie Donghai knew what he was going to say. He shook his head and explained warmly, “Even if that doesn't happen, I plan to retreat. Over the years, I have been blinded by hatred and spent too much energy seeking revenge. Unfortunately, the Nie clan was not a strong and powerful clan. Even though I have used up all the strength of the clan, I still can't trace it. ”
After a pause, Nie Donghai let out a long sigh and added, “Even if I can find it, maybe, I won't be able to do anything. I know very well how the Yun clan treats your aunt, yet the Yun clan is in the Black Cloud City, so what can I do?
“I am old, and my health is getting worse. Rather than wasting energy on useless things, I want to spend more time with you.”
“Grandfather,” said Nie Tian firmly, “I will be wiser in the future and I will not fight Nie Hong again. As I become stronger, I will personally seek justice for the aunt of the Yun clan!
Nie Donghai smiled and nodded as he looked at her for a moment. Then, his expression changed and asked, “Just now, you are clearly on the verge of defeat. How did you suddenly gain the strength to defeat Nie Hong and suffer such a huge loss?”
“I also don't know what really happened.” Nie Tian himself was confused. “Just when I thought that I had finished, it seemed ... as if a cruel and powerful force had emerged from my blood and flesh. When that power came out, the lightning energy Nie Hong had left behind in my body was completely erased. Thanks to that, I have the power to launch a counterattack.”
Nie Donghai eagerly pressed his hand into Nie Tian's stomach and inserted his senses inside.
A faint piece of spirit power roamed within Nie Tian's body like floating silk. After examining every corner of his body, Nie Donghai could not find anything.
Yet surprisingly, just as Nie Tian had said, he had found absolutely no trace of the lightning power left behind by Nie Hong.
“Anneh ..” She pulled her hand, confused, and asked, “Do you feel that power again after the fight?”
“I did try hard to feel it after the battle, but I couldn't find any trace of it.” Nie Tian thought for a moment and said, “But I believe that power is within me. Looks like I haven't been able to control it completely and it just came out at the most dangerous moments.”
Nie Donghai remained silent, his eyes filled with thoughts. After a long time, he said, “Don't say this to others.”
Nie Tian nodded obediently. “Sure.”
“Everything is done then. Go find your aunt. Remember, from tomorrow, I will no longer be the head of the Nie clan. After today, don't be too naughty. The next time you have a conflict with the child of the clan, don't attack too hard. ”
“I understand,” said Nie Tian.
After which, Nie Donghai directly went to the library of the Nie clan and buried his head in the book. He dug up many rare books on cultivation practice in hopes of finding the reason why Nie Tian's body was experiencing that strange phenomenon.
Unfortunately, after reading over a dozen books, he was still unable to find any clues.
That night, Nie Qian's maid Han Yue was completely panicked as she rushed to look for Nie Donghai. When he found her, he hurriedly explained that Nie Tian, for no apparent reason, had a high fever.
Nie Donghai immediately left the library and followed Han Yue to Nie Tian's room. As soon as he entered, he saw the anxious Nie Qian standing beside Nie Tian's bed, holding a bag of ice cloth on Nie Tian's forehead to help him fight off the fever.
Seeing the arrival of Nie Donghai, Nie Qian immediately called out like a drowning man looking at a rescue boat, “Dad! I don't know what's wrong! Little Tian started burning after dinner and his body temperature was getting higher. I'm worried half dead! I don't know what I should do. ”
“Do not panic. Let me see.” Nie Donghai rushed forward and placed his large, rough hand on Nie Tian's chest.
“Very hot!” Nie Donghai could not help but exclaim as soon as he touched Nie Tian's skin. His face suddenly stiffened and said, “There's something wrong. Her body temperature is abnormally high!”
“That must be Nie Hong!” exclaim Nie Qian. “With his cultivation reaching the sixth level of Qi, he was able to release spiritual power from his body, yet he was shamelessly fighting Little Tian! It was definitely the remnant lightning he left behind in Little Tian's body that caused a fever. However, the second uncle had the courage to denounce Little Tian, which caused father to give up his high position as clan head. I'll go and reply to them!” Nie Qian wanted to spill her great anger on Nie Beichuan.
“You're not going anywhere!” Nie Donghai yelling.
“Dad!” Nie Qian shouted back. “They bully Little Tian and take advantage of your condition, because they know that you are injured and cultivation is declining! Over the years, they have pushed you little by little. They don't really respect and treat you as the clan head so they act mischievously. Today, they even use conflict between children to make you leave your position! It's outrageous! I can't just swallow it!”
“What? Temperatures still going up?” Nie Qian panicked and forgot to find Nie Beichuan to settle their dispute. Sounded very anxious, he said, “I'll be leaving soon!”
Without saying these words, he rushed out of the Nie clan, his heart torn to shreds with anxiety.
Two hours later, three famous physicians from the Black Cloud City gathered around Nie Tian.
The three famous doctors tried various ways including medicinal herbs, acupuncture, and ice packs, all in hopes of lowering his fever.
Soon after midnight, yet Nie Tian's high fever showed no signs of healing.
Although the three leading physicians had exhausted all of their methods to bring down his fever, Nie Tian's body temperature did not decrease in the slightest.
“No use!” Nie Donghai cursed, so angry that he gasped for air. “None of you can cure a simple fever. How dare you call yourself a reputable doctor!”
The doctors did not dare to disagree and left the Nie clan in shame.
Next afternoon.
Both Nie Donghai and Nie Qian's eyes reddened as they saw another doctor from Black Cloud City take his medicine chest and walk out of Nie Tian's room, also unable to do anything.
Nie Donghai didn't close his eyes at all that night. He gently stroked Nie Tian's forehead and discovered that his body temperature was still at a very high level.
“Spread the news,” shouted Nie Donghai. “Anyone who can bring down Nie Tian fever, from Black Cloud City or not, will receive a good gift from me!”
“Understanding!” answers come.
Another day passed.
Every famous physician in Black Cloud City and other nearby cities came after hearing the news. They were all trying hard to bring down Nie Tian's temperature in exchange for a significant reward from Nie Donghai.
However, night fell and Nie Tian's fever did not improve.
Hearing that Nie Tian was suddenly sick, Nie Beichuan and the other elders in the Nie clan also came to visit. However they did not encourage Nie Donghai to give up his position at the time.
Deep into the night.
Nie Donghai and Nie Qian helplessly stared at Nie Tian, whose body was flushed red with fever, their faces filled with despair.
Nie Qian sobbed as she muttered from time to time, “My poor sister will not be able to rest in peace if she finds out that I failed to take care of Little Tian. Little Tian was only Twelve years old. If anything happens to her, I don't want to live either. Those clan members want us to suffer, we better die together .. ”
“Shut!” Nie Donghai rages. “If you dare to say an unpleasant word again, look I slapped your mouth!”
“Dad, you have to think of a way to save her!” shouted Nie Qian.
“That's what I did!!” Nie Donghai said with a dark look. “For so many years, I can say that I have dedicated myself to the Mendung sect. Now that I am old and ready to retreat, the god of the Cloudy sect might give me face and save Nie Tian!
“You get ready, we bring Nie Tian to the Cloud Sect now. I will kneel before the sect gate and beg for their help!”
“Very good. I'll set it up soon!” Nie Qian's eyes suddenly burned with hope.
He knew very well that the advanced Qi warriors of the Profound sect had extraordinary heavenly abilities. If they were willing to spend energy to help Nie Tian, he might live.
Just as Nie Donghai and Nie Qian were about to go to the Cloudy sect, the servant Han Yue barged in and shouted loudly, “Clan Leader! Clan Chief! There was another doctor here who claimed to be able to save Little Tian!”
