"presumptuous!"
Seeing his grandson lying on the ground seriously injured, Nie Beichuan couldn't hold himself back and rushed out suddenly.
A flash of lightning was seen, and Nie Beichuan rushed to Nie Hong's side. He squatted down, lifted Nie Hong up, and pressed his big hands on Nie Hong's waist, abdomen, and sternum.
Nie Hong felt a warm current of spiritual power swimming around his sternum. His pain immediately subsided, and he couldn't help but whispered aggrievedly: "Grandpa..."
Nie Beichuan raised his head and stared sinisterly at Nie Tian, who was still sensing the unknown power.
Before Nie Tian could react, he glanced at the embarrassed Wu Tao with a malicious look, and shouted: "And you? As a guest in the venue, what are you doing here?! You clearly saw Nie Tian Why didn't you stop the murderer immediately? We, the Nie family, recruited you to provide you with a free meal?"
"This..." Wu Tao smiled bitterly.
"Second Grandpa, it was Nie Hong who wanted to hurt people first. He didn't care about Mr. Wu." Nie Xian couldn't see it and tried to defend Wu Tao.
He saw the whole story clearly. When Nie Hong was about to hit Nie Tian's heart, he knew that Wu Tao had asked Nie Beichuan's attitude with his eyes, but Nie Beichuan didn't say a word at that time and obviously had no intention of stopping it.
Later, when Nie Tian suddenly exploded and seemed to have regained his supernatural power, everything happened so fast that Wu Tao had no time to stop it.
After all, Nie Xian has a young mind. He knows that speaking up for Wu Tao is not good, but he still can't get over the test in his heart.
"When is it your turn to speak?" Nie Beichuan snorted coldly and glanced sideways at Nie Xian, "Who do you think you are? You are just a descendant of the Nie family. If you want to have a say in the family, wait for you Come talk to me again after you truly break through to the ninth level of Qi Refining and step into Lingyun Sect!"
As soon as these words came out, Nie Xian's childish face also showed anger.
But after thinking about it carefully, he still held back, knowing that just as Wu Tao said, before he became a disciple of Lingyun Sect, he was indeed far from enough weight in the Nie family.
In particular, Nie Beichuan is very likely to truly replace Nie Donghai as the head of the Nie family within one or two years.
Many young men from the Nie family who still have a childish heart and a sense of justice originally planned to tell the truth about what they saw like Nie Xian. However, they saw that even Nie Xian, who was the most powerful and had the brightest future among them, was under the influence of Nie Beichuan. Affected by the momentum, they did not dare to speak any more, and they all shut up in aggrieved tone.
"Second Grandpa, that... it was Nie Hong who wanted to challenge me. He was also the first to attack my vital parts without following the clan rules." Nie Tian, who woke up from his confusion, seemed to understand the current situation at once. In this situation, he puffed up his chest and shouted righteously.
"Grandpa, I just wanted to scare him, I didn't really intend to seriously hurt him!" Nie Hong gritted his teeth, glared at Nie Tian fiercely, and argued: "My power was already there before it hit his chest. I took the initiative to save my strength and wanted to stop. I never expected that when I let go, he suddenly took advantage of my unpreparedness and ambition to kill me!"
"Shameless!"
Most of the Nie family children who were watching were shouting in their hearts at this moment, secretly despising Nie Hong for distorting the facts.
They all saw clearly the excitement and ecstasy in Nie Hong's eyes when he struck the final blow. How could he have any intention of holding back
Nie Hong originally wanted to inflict severe injuries on Nie Tian to wash away the shame of being defeated by Nie Tian over the years. He was clearly going all out at that time, how could he give up midway
"You know best what you wanted to do just now!" Nie Tian shouted.
"Shut up!" Nie Beichuan shouted, stopping Nie Tian's follow-up words, and then looked at Wu Tao coldly, and said: "It doesn't matter how the process went. The result now is that Nie Tian ignored the clan rules and used cruel methods to hurt people. Nie Hong. Mr. Wu, you are a guest of the Nie family. According to the family rules, how should you punish Nie Tian?"
"Exiled to the mines of Lingyun Mountain for three years." Wu Tao answered softly, his heart full of sourness and helplessness, and his eyes full of apologies.
"Nie Tiantian is ten years old!"
"He was exiled to the Lingyun Sect's mines at the age of ten. He was useless in three years. His original cultivation progress has been slow. If he is delayed in the mines for another three years, I am afraid that there will no longer be any hope of being favored by the Lingyun Sect. "
"At the age of ten, he was banished to the mines and will stay there for another three years. Nie Tian is really doomed now."
"Well, there is no hope in his life that he will reach the ninth level of weapon refining and be accepted as a disciple by Lingyun Sect before he is fifteen years old."
"It's not that simple. People die in the mines from time to time. Nie Tian is ten years old and has been in the mines for three years. I don't think he can come out alive!"
"Isn't that too harsh?"
“…”
Those young men from the Nie family who had not dared to speak out at first couldn't help but start shouting when they heard the punishment. Many of them who had never liked Nie Tian.
"Are you all excited? Why, do you also want to stay in the mines for three years like Nie Tian?" Nie Beichuan said calmly.
After hearing these words, the Nie family boys who were filled with righteous indignation fell silent, showing expressions of people who dared to be angry but dared not speak.
"Just go, just three years, what's the big deal!" Nie Tian shouted desperately.
"Mr. Wu, just follow the clan rules!" Nie Beichuan said calmly.
"Second brother, Nie Tian is still young, doesn't he have to be like this?" At this moment, Nie Donghai, who hurriedly came down from the high platform of the stone palace, finally rushed over.
If it were before, when he heard Nie Beichuan's punishment, he would jump down and fall into the square instantly.
But now, he could only go down step by step, and it would take a lot of time and energy to get there before the situation worsened to the point where it was out of control.
"Master." Wu Tao said respectfully.
"Grandpa."
"Grandpa, it's good that you are here. You must uphold justice."
"Grandpa, we have all seen that the truth is not like that."
When many children saw him arriving, they breathed a sigh of relief and then started shouting.
Nie Beichuan frowned slightly and said seriously: "Brother, the family has family rules and the country has national laws. Even if Nie Tian is young, even if you are the head of the family, the family rules... still cannot be broken."
"I am no longer the head of the family." Nie Donghai said softly.
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the venue suddenly froze.
Nie Beichuan also looked puzzled, but his eyes clearly showed a trace of ecstasy, saying: "Brother! What do you mean?"
"I am tired and no longer have the energy to take charge of the Nie family. You also know my situation. Before, I wanted to use the power of the family to help Qian'er and Jin'er seek justice, so I was very ignorant and refused. Give up." Nie Donghai looked lonely, "But now I have figured it out and plan to give up. From now on... the Nie family will depend on you, second brother."
"Brother, how can this be done? You are still highly respected in the clan, I..." Nie Beichuan said what he meant.
Nie Donghai waved his hand, interrupted his words, and said firmly: "I have made up my mind. I will make it clear to all my uncles and grandfathers tomorrow. I think they will understand."
"That's it." Nie Beichuan said in a long voice, hypocritically: "If the eldest brother insists on this, I will not persuade you any more. Don't worry, eldest brother, I will take the matter of Qian'er and Jin'er to my heart. I regard them as For my children, I will try my best to find ways to get justice for them."
Nie Donghai took a deep look at him, nodded, and said: "Nie Tian is still young, I hope..."
"Forget it, I will definitely give you my brother's face. I will not pursue this matter any further." Nie Beichuan said with a smile.
"Then let's do it." Nie Donghai was exhausted both physically and mentally. He turned around and said to Nie Tian, "Follow me."
After saying that, he took the lead and walked out of the square. His back was full of the desolate atmosphere of a hero in his twilight years.
Wu Tao and the young men of the Nie family looked at him walking away and knew in their hearts that the era of Nie Donghai controlling the Nie family ended today.
Nie Tian said nothing and silently followed Nie Donghai, his face looking very bad.
Just as he was about to disappear from the square, he paused, turned to look at the energetic Nie Beichuan, and secretly clenched his fists.
At ten years old, he has reached a sensible age. He naturally understands that Nie Donghai's initiative to give up his position today is all for him.
