"Grandpa, I'm sorry."
After leaving the square and arriving at a rockery pavilion, Nie Donghai paused for a moment before Nie Tian apologized softly.
Nie Donghai turned around, and when Nie Tian approached, he touched his head with a smile, and said lovingly: "It's okay, grandpa is tired, it's time to take a rest."
"Grandpa, if I hadn't messed up, you could still have..." Nie Tianqing said.
"No." Nie Donghai knew what he wanted to say. He shook his head and explained warmly, "Without this matter, I would have retired. In the past few years, I have been blinded by hatred and spent too much energy on On seeking revenge. Unfortunately, the Nie family is not a very strong family. Even if I borrowed the family's power, I still couldn't find that bastard."
After a pause, Nie Donghai sighed, and added: "Perhaps, even if I find that guy, I can't do anything. I clearly know how the Yun family treats your aunt, and the Yun family is in Black Cloud City, but What can I do?"
"I am getting old, and my health... is deteriorating. Instead of wasting unnecessary energy, I would rather spend more time with you."
"Grandpa, I will be sensible in the future and will never continue to fight with Nie Hong. When I become stronger, I will help my aunt seek justice from the Yun family!" Nie Tian said with firm eyes.
Nie Donghai nodded with a smile, looked at him deeply, his expression moved, and he said seriously: "Just now, you were clearly on the verge of losing your strength. Why did you suddenly have enough energy to spare, but that boy Nie Hong suffered a big loss?"
"I don't know what happened." Nie Tian was also confused. "Just when I thought I was doomed, it seemed... that a strong force emerged from all my flesh and blood. When After that force rushed out, Nie Hong's remaining electric light in my body was instantly wiped out, and I gained the strength to fight back."
Nie Donghai was secretly moved, and put his hands on Nie Tian's waist and abdomen, trying to feel it.
A faint trace of spiritual power floated in Nie Tian's body like a gossamer. He sensed it carefully, but found nothing.
But he unexpectedly discovered that, just as Nie Tian said, the little bits of lightning and lightning that Nie Hong had penetrated had completely disappeared.
"Strange..." He stopped his hand in confusion and asked, "Did you feel that power again later?"
"The battle is over. I have tried very hard to sense it, but there is not even a trace." Nie Tian thought for a moment and then said: "But I am sure that the power is in my body. However, it seems that it cannot be used for the time being. It works for me, and it seems to come out only at the most dangerous moments.”
Nie Donghai remained silent, his eyes thoughtful. After a while, he slowly said: "Don't tell others about this matter."
"Yeah." Nie Tian nodded obediently.
"That's it, you go back to your aunt. Remember, from tomorrow on, I will no longer be the head of the Nie family. From now on... don't be too naughty. Next time you have a conflict with the family's children, don't be too cruel. " Nie Donghai said earnestly.
"I understand." Nie Tian said.
Afterwards, Nie Donghai dived into the Nie family's library, dug out many obscure books on cultivation, and studied them, trying to find out the cause of Nie Tian's physical abnormality.
Unfortunately, after reading more than a dozen scriptures, he still had no clue.
That night, Nie Qian's maid Han Yue came to see her in a panic, saying that Nie Tian had a high fever for no apparent reason.
Nie Donghai left the library in a hurry and went to Nie Tian's room with Han Yue. As soon as he entered, he saw Nie Qian standing anxiously on Nie Tian's window, holding a cloth wrapped in ice cubes and applying it on on Nie Tian's forehead, hoping to help Nie Tian get rid of the high fever.
"Daddy!"
As soon as she saw Nie Donghai coming in, Nie Qian was like a drowning person seeing a boat, and hurriedly called out: "I don't know what happened. After dinner, Xiaotian started to have a fever. His body temperature is getting higher and higher now. I’m so anxious and don’t know what to do.”
"Don't panic, let me take a look." Nie Donghai hurriedly stepped forward and placed his rough hands on Nie Tian's chest.
"It's so hot!" Nie Donghai couldn't help but exclaimed as soon as he touched Nie Tian's skin. His face suddenly became serious and he said, "Something's not right. His body temperature is too high. This is not normal!"
"Nie Hong must have harmed her. Nie Hong has cultivated to the sixth level of Qi Refining, and his spiritual power can leak out. Yet he still bullies Xiaotian shamelessly! It must be the remaining thunder and lightning power in his incomplete Xiaotian's body. How dare the second uncle do it? I want to hold Xiaotian accountable for causing my father to give up his position as head of the family. I will settle the score with them now!" Nie Qian was furious and wanted to attack Nie Beichuan.
"Stay here honestly!" Nie Donghai shouted.
"Dad! It was they who bullied Xiaotian. They bullied you into getting hurt and retreating instead of advancing! Over the years, they have been forcing you step by step. They have not taken you as the head of the family seriously and have been messing around. Now, they actually To use children to force you to abdicate is too much, I can't get angry!" Nie Qian shouted.
"Xiaotian's high fever is the problem we need to solve most at the moment!" Nie Donghai glared at her and said, "Let's put aside all other things for now. Now you go find a famous doctor in Black Cloud City immediately. We need them to bring down Nie Tian's high fever quickly, I can feel that the temperature in Nie Tian's body is still rising!"
"Ah? Your body temperature is still rising?" Nie Qian panicked and no longer insisted on going to Nie Beichuan to settle the score. She hurriedly said: "I'll go right now!"
After saying this, she rushed away from Nie's house in a hurry.
An hour later, three famous doctors from Black Cloud City gathered beside Nie Tian.
Three famous doctors used concoctions, acupuncture, ice compresses and other methods to constantly try on Nie Tian's body, hoping to help Nie Tian reduce his fever in a short time.
But until midnight, Nie Tian still had a high fever.
The three famous doctors had used various means, but Nie Tian seemed to have no reaction, and the high temperature in his body showed no tendency to come down at all.
"Trash, you can't even cure such a simple fever, why do you still claim to be a famous doctor!" Nie Donghai gasped and cursed.
The three famous doctors were submissive and did not dare to refute, so they all left Nie's house in shame.
The next afternoon.
Nie Donghai and Nie Qian's eyes were filled with bloodshot eyes as they looked at another doctor from Black Cloud City, carrying a medicine box and walking out of Nie Tian's room helplessly.
Nie Donghai, who hadn't slept a wink all night, touched Nie Tian's forehead heartbrokenly and found that his body temperature was still at an extremely dangerous level.
"Pass it to me, no matter if it's a famous doctor from Black Cloud City or elsewhere, if you can cure Nie Tian's fever, I will give you a huge reward!" Nie Donghai shouted.
"clear!"
Another day passed.
All the famous doctors in Black Cloud City, including doctors from other surrounding cities, also came after hearing the news, and used various methods, hoping to reduce Nie Tian's fever in exchange for Nie Donghai's huge reward.
However, until that night, Nie Tian still had a high fever.
Nie Beichuan and the other elders of the Nie family knew that Nie Tian had a strange illness, so they all came to visit him one after another. Regarding Nie Donghai's resignation as the head of the family, they were not aggressive at this time.
Night falls.
Nie Donghai and Nie Qian looked helplessly at Nie Tian, who was covered in red due to high fever, with despair on their faces.
Nie Qian sobbed and murmured intermittently: "My poor little sister, if she knew that I didn't take good care of Xiaotian, she wouldn't feel at ease down there. Xiaotian is only ten years old. If he has any problems, I don't want to Survive. Anyway, those people in the clan don’t want us to live well, so we might as well die together... "
"Shut up!" Nie Donghai shouted angrily, "If you dare to say an unlucky word again, I won't slap you in the mouth!"
"Dad, then you can think of something else!" Nie Qian shouted.
"I'm thinking!" Nie Donghai's face was deep, "Over the years, I have done my best for the Lingyun Sect. Now that I am old and plan to abdicate, the old gods of the Lingyun Sect may take advantage of me. Take action to save Nie Tian!"
"Get ready. We will take Nie Tian to Lingyun Sect right now. I will kneel in front of Lingyun Sect and beg them to take action!"
"Okay! I'll make arrangements right away!" The light of hope rekindled in Nie Qian's eyes.
She knew very well what kind of magical powers those advanced qi refiners of the Lingyun Sect possessed. If those powerful qi refiners were willing to expend their efforts to take action, Nie Tian might still be able to be saved.
"Master! Master! Another doctor is here. He said he can save Xiaotian!"
Just when Nie Donghai and his daughter were about to leave for Lingyun Sect, the maid Han Yue barged in and shouted loudly.
