Nie Jie followed his servants to Luoyueyuan, and found four servants standing at the door, and frowned slightly.
Having so many servants by his side was of no benefit to him, not only would he be disturbed, but it would also increase the possibility of exposing Xia Liang's sanity.
"You all leave the yard, I don't need anyone to wait on me." Nie Jie stepped forward and said.
"Young Master, we were sent by the Patriarch. You need to report this matter to the Patriarch." One of the servants knelt down and said.
Nie Jie glanced at him, snorted softly, and said sarcastically, "Use the Patriarch to suppress me?"
"I don't dare." The man replied immediately, without much fear in his tone.
"Tell my request to the Patriarch. I don't need anyone to wait on me, and I don't allow anyone to approach my courtyard at will. I hate being disturbed!" Nie Jie turned around, looked at the servant who brought him over, and said .
"Yes." The servant responded and said, "Please wait a moment, I will go to ask the Patriarch for instructions."
"Take them away together." Nie Jie waved his hand and said coldly, "After the Patriarch agrees, you don't need to appear in front of me again."
In other words, Nie Jie expected that Nie Xuanye would not go against his own wishes on such trivial matters for the time being, and would definitely satisfy him.
"Yes." The servant replied again, knowing Nie Jie's current status, he led those servants and left obediently.
After Nie Jie waited for them to leave, he hugged Xia Liang and pushed the door open.
Today's room is naturally not comparable to the dilapidated hut he used to be. The room is very large, and there are all kinds of exquisite and expensive decorations, revealing a sense of luxury and wealth.
Nie Jie put Xia Liang on the soft quilt, looked at her slightly squinted eyes, and asked softly, "Sleepy?"
"No." Xia Liang shook her head and said, "Master, if you don't let people approach the yard, it will arouse their suspicion."
"I understand." Nie Jie said, "However, they probably only think that I have a strange temper, which is better than exposing you."
"Let's practice quickly." Xia Liang said, "When I open my mind to the outside world and have a spiritual core, I don't have to be so careful."
"Yeah." Nie Jie patted her head, took out the spiritual core from his bosom, and started to practice immediately as Xia Liang said.
The spiritual power contained in this piece of spiritual core, if used properly, should be enough to help him break through as an earth-level spiritual master.
... ... ...
Nie Jie turned over, had a backer, and was valued by the Patriarch.
People like Nie Hongzhuang, who used to trouble Nie Jie before, lived in fear for a while, fearing that Nie Jie would come to retaliate against them.
However, after more than ten days of trembling, they discovered that Nie Jie had no intention of retaliating at all, and they rarely even saw him.
He always nests in the yard, and even when he comes out, he rushes past with the puppet in his arms, ignoring anyone at all, like a maverick lunatic.
Finally, the fear that those disciples felt towards Nie Jie after gaining power also faded away, and some people couldn't help floating around, and the rumors about Nie Jie also quietly changed.
"Hey, tell me, is he a pervert?! Always holding his own puppet, I've never seen anyone like this."
"That's right! That puppet is obviously fine, and all the materials of that body are precious and precious. I'm so envious when I see it! There is such a good puppet that I don't use, but I confess it like a baby bump every day. My brain is so stupid." sick."
Finally, intentionally or not, and I don't know who ordered it, Nie Xingping suggested with a meaningful face, "Otherwise, let's meet him, compete with him, and see how powerful his precious puppet is!" The point?!"
"Isn't that good? Now he's not as useless as before. If we trouble him, the Patriarch will come forward and teach us a lesson." A disciple shook his head and said in disapproval.
"We are here to learn from each other, not to bully him! Disciples in the clan challenge each other, compete with each other, and make progress together. This has always been the clan rule of the Nie family. Even if the head of the family knows it, he will agree with our approach. "Nie Xingping said with a determined face.
"Yes, yes, yes! Let's go, let's go together to compete. I have been curious about Nie Jie's strength for a long time. Aren't you curious?" As soon as Nie Xingping finished speaking, someone echoed him.
How could you not be curious!
Thinking like this, everyone looked at each other and agreed to Nie Xingping's proposal, and took their puppets to Luoyueyuan to find Nie Jie.
...
"Discussion?" Nie Jie looked at the crowd in front of him, raised his eyebrows, and said coldly, "No time."
"Hey. Nie Jie, don't refuse in a hurry." Nie Xingping said with a smile, "We are all brothers. It's a good thing to learn from each other and improve each other."
As he said that, Nie Xingping tilted his head slightly, and quietly winked at Nie Yu who was beside him.
Nie Yu understood, and before Nie Jie could say another word, he commanded his own puppet, rushed towards Nie Jie suddenly, and swung his fist hard to hit Nie Jie's chest.
Xia Liang, who was originally standing next to Nie Jie, dodged and nimbly stepped forward to block the front of Nie Jie. While blocking the punch with his hand, he kicked out his right foot fiercely, directly kicking the puppet away. , seeing an arc slid out in the air—
bang!
He fell heavily to the ground.
Xia Liang's movements were very fast. Before Nie Xingping and others could react, she knocked down the puppet. The strength was so strong that they couldn't even recover.
"So Brother Nie Jie is so powerful!" Nie Xingping exhaled lightly, clapped his palms and said, "Since that's the case, I think you don't have to be polite. The two of you will go up together, and take this opportunity to learn more about it."
Before he finished speaking, Nie Xingping commanded his puppet to pounce on Xia Liang. His movements were fast and ruthless. Obviously, he had planned this for a long time. What he said before was just a scene.
Nie Jie took a few steps back, not letting himself become Xia Liang's hindrance, he glanced at Nie Xingping with a sinister look, and turned to focus on Xia Liang who was fighting.
It's not surprising that he behaved like this, because the fighting of human-level puppets was completed by the command of the master. However, only Nie Jie knew that he didn't need to command Xia Liang at all, let alone give her orders.
Because she has rich combat experience and neat skills.
He watched so intently because he was nervous and worried.
However, no matter what, he couldn't step forward to help her.
She is his puppet, fighting for him is her mission, and it is something that everyone takes for granted.
As long as he shows even the slightest difference, he will be noticed and suspected.
Therefore, he must endure!
However, now that he was nervous, he didn't realize that his feeling for Xia Liang was not as simple as that between a puppet and his master.
Generally speaking, no one would think of rushing to help when his puppet was fighting.
I don't know if Nie Jie recalled his state of mind at this time afterwards, would he think of what he told Xia Liang more than a month ago that there is no need for affection between the master and the puppet.
Now he, tsk tsk, isn't it just like Xia Liang said, he was slapped in the face by himself, bang bang bang! Still very loud.
