C293 Here Comes the Busybody?
Nie Zhen used his Spiritual Sense to scan the surroundings and knew that the people following them were Zeng Jue's two henchmen: Qin Zhen and Lan Yu.
These two had been following Zeng Jue for a long time, but now, they were following him. Obviously, they received an order from Zeng Jue to follow them.
"Junior Brother Nie, did you notice?" At this time, Qin Wuyan asked Nie Zhen with a fixed expression.
"Humph..." We discovered it long ago. " Nie Zhen replied with a sneer.
Soong Dong'er's face was solemn. "How is it? Should he make the first move? With just these two people, I can finish them in three moves. "
Qin Zhen and Lan Yu's cultivations were only in First Level of the Heavenly Stage, if they really wanted to fight, they would definitely not be a match for Nie Zhen and the others.
Nie Zhen waved his hand and said, "No need, just let them follow us. It's forbidden to fight in private in Nine Palace City, let's just let these two idiots follow us. If they dare to attack us, we can even get rid of them."
"Is there something wrong with this Zeng Jue's head?" Why did you send these two people to follow us? He should know that if they really fight, they will definitely be no match for us! " Gu Faang frowned.
The corner of Nie Zhen's mouth rose as he sneered: "I'm afraid he doesn't expect these two people to do anything, the reason he followed us, is probably because he wants to confirm whether or not we are actually Duobao Sect's people, right?"
After all, Zeng Jue wasn't sure if his group belonged to Duobao Sect, or if another sect had used the name of Duobao Sect to their advantage, which was why they sent the two people to follow him, to find out where he had gone to.
"Tch!" Trash! Do you think that everyone is as despicable as him?! " Qin Wuyan couldn't help but spit out.
"It is only natural for a despicable person to think of others as equally despicable." Nie Zhen replied coldly. However, he did not care about the two men who followed him. Not to mention them, even if Zeng Jue himself came, Nie Zhen would not care about him.
Nie Zhen and the others returned to the Duobao Courtyard, paid respects to the sect master and the others, and conveniently reported to them about what happened on the Auction today.
This matter involved the Jiugong Sect disciples after all, so Nie Zhen and the others felt that it would be better to report this to the sect masters as soon as possible, and directly reported it to the five sect masters.
In this regard, Great Sect Master and the others did not scold them, but instead felt that Nie Zhen's performance was not bad. Although Jiugong Sect stood at the top of the sects, that did not mean that Duobao Sect must be inferior to others.
Great Sect Master nodded at Nie Zhen and smiled: "Nie Zhen, you did quite well this time, although it was a bit of a waste, it also took away the spirit of the Jiugong Sect disciples. Not only that, the methods you used to repay these kindness later on, also made many sect disciples submit, I think that other than Zeng Jue, the rest of the Jiugong Sect disciples here should have a decent attitude towards you.
Although he had offended Zeng Jue, the attitude of Lei Yan and the other Jiugong Sect disciples towards Nie Zhen was still alright. Even Chen Sui, who originally had a grudge with Nie Zhen, would presumably not make things difficult for Nie Zhen after this incident.
But Fourth Sect Master and Luo Tian frowned: "It's just that I didn't expect the Jiugong Sect disciple's strength to be this strong, just the second disciple of the Middle Palace's cultivation had already reached the Sixth Level of the Heavenly Stage … A sect that was in sole control of a large empire's land, the resources are indeed different from ours … "
"The power of Jiugong Sect is not something that can make up for in a short amount of time, so we have to be calm and not have too much emotion. Otherwise, it will affect our own cultivation." Great Sect Master waved his hand.
After Zhuo Bufan finished speaking, he turned towards Nie Zhen and said: "You have to be more careful in the next two days, although Jiugong Sect is generally more decent, but no matter how decent a sect you are in, there will always be people with lower qualities, so be sure to not let anyone catch you red-handed, especially Nephew Nie, don't go out in the next two days, although we are not afraid of them, but it is better not to let both sides come looking for you, because even if there is right and wrong, our Duobao Sect people are also not weak, remember, there will always be someone backing you up your sect."
"Disciple obeys!" Nie Zhen and the others said in unison.
Just as Nie Zhen and the rest were about to return and report to Great Sect Master, a junior brother from Duobao Sect rushed in: "Senior Brother Nie, there are two Jiugong Sect disciples outside, they want to pay you a visit!"
"Hmm? Looks like the person who sought trouble has indeed arrived! " However, there was a trace of doubt in Nie Zhen's heart. From the Jiugong Sect's attitude, the higher ups of the Jiugong Sect attached great importance to this competition, so if Zeng Jue, who was a disciple of the Jiugong Sect, took the initiative to come to another sect to stir up trouble, wouldn't it give the other sects a feeling that the Jiugong Sect was bullying them? Would the Jiugong Sect higher ups really allow Zeng Jue to challenge them?
Even though he was suspicious, Nie Zhen was not afraid at all. As long as the top experts of Jiugong Sect were not here, he had the confidence to take them down.
"Sect heads and masters, I'll be leaving first." Nie Zhen said goodbye to Wu Great Sect Master.
Zhuo Bufan nodded and said: "You can go. If there's any trouble, as long as it doesn't involve the higher ups of Jiugong Sect, we can't bother with it for now. You can go and test the waters first."
They were only two Jiugong Sect disciples, if they were to alarm Duobao Sect Five Great Sect Master to go out to greet them, then it would be making a big fuss over nothing, and could easily lead to a truth of bullying the weak.
"I'm afraid it's not right for Junior Brother Nie to be alone. Let's go and get him." When Qin Wuyan and Soong Dong'er saw Nie Zhen leave and reported to the five grand masters, they also followed. Gu Faang and Yun Ling originally wanted to go together, but were stopped by Great Sect Master.
"Just let the three of them go. The two of you hurry back to the house and prepare for the upcoming competition."
Even though Great Sect Master said that, it was still to protect the two of them. Gu Faang and Yun Ling were geniuses in the alchemy field of Duobao Sect, and their cultivation were not as good as the core disciples in the first place. Moreover, they were not good at fighting, so they would not be able to help.
Nie Zhen and the other two arrived at the gate in a matter of moments. They had expected Zeng Jue and the others to be standing at the gate, but they didn't expect it to be the two brothers, Chen Sui and Chen Ling.
At this moment, his brother, Chen Sui, was standing at the gate while his younger brother, Chen Ling, was kneeling beside him, waiting for Nie Zhen to arrive.
"This …" Nie Zhen was a bit confused. It seems like he misunderstood, the person didn't come to cause trouble, but it seems like... Asking for forgiveness?
Seeing Nie Zhen come to the front door, Chen Sui cupped his fist and bowed deeply towards Nie Zhen, "Benefactor Nie, thank you for your gift earlier, but we have no way to repay your kindness. I know that even if we sold our brothers here, we wouldn't be able to exchange for 30 Medial Grade Spirit Stones. You can have it anytime you want! "
"This..." Nie Zhen was stunned for a moment. He did not expect Chen Sui to know how to repay kindness, nor did he expect Chen Sui's words to be so ruthless.
At this moment, Chen Ling, who was kneeling on the ground, also opened his mouth and said, "Benefactor Nie, I offended you before because I was blind. Now that you saved our lives, I have nothing to say.
If what Chen Sui said was within reason, then what Chen Ling said surprised Nie Zhen. In Nie Zhen's opinion, Chen Ling should have thought that Chen Ling was a good-for-nothing, and relied on his brother's fame and fortune to achieve what he had today.
At this time, Chen Sui said to Nie Zhen, "Benefactor, do not hesitate. Even if benefactor killed my brother, I will not hold a grudge against you. Similarly, my life is also benefactor's."
"Eh …." Nie Zhen felt that he was in a bit of a mess. He looked at Qin Wuyan and Soong Dong'er who were standing behind him. They were so shocked that their mouths were wide open.
When they saw Nie Zhen look at them, they immediately pretended that it had nothing to do with them.
"Eh? Senior Brother Qin, what a coincidence! "
"Yeah, yeah..." I'm here to admire the moon, Junior Sister Song, you wouldn't also … "
"Of course. How good is the moonlight tonight … Me too... How about we go together? "
"That's great! It seems like the scenery there is even more beautiful..."
The two of them sang together, pretending to meet each other on the way to admiring the moon, and then they left Nie Zhen. The two of them sang together, pretending to meet each other on the way to admiring the moon, and then they left Nie Zhen and left. It was a lie!
Nie Zhen's mind was in a mess and he didn't know what the two brothers wanted to do. However, he was sure that Chen Sui and Chen Ling sincerely thanked him this time because Nie Zhen didn't feel any killing intent from them.
"Sirs, no matter what it is that you want to talk about, please get up first …" Nie Zhen said to the two of them with a wry smile, Chen Sui bowing to him was already very exaggerated, but Chen Ling simply knelt in front of him, if the people from Jiugong Sect knew, who knows what kind of effect it would have.
Chen Ling heard Nie Zhen's words and was about to get up, but he suddenly saw his brother staring at him with an extremely stern expression. Chen Ling was so frightened that he immediately kneeled down in front of Nie Zhen again.
Only then did Nie Zhen realize that Chen Ling probably knelt down with half of his heart and the other half was probably under the dignity of his brother.
Nie Zhen knew that the problem was Chen Ling, so he smiled bitterly at him: "Brother Chen Sui, I think it's better if we enter first, since the two of you are acting like this, it's very difficult for me, too. Once the higher ups of Jiugong Sect find out, they will think that my Duobao Sect is bullying the Jiugong Sect disciples right?"
