Chapter 95: You’re My Sister Now (1/2)
Fei Li’s expression immediately darkened.
He didn’t even bother to look at Nie Tian, but rather stared coldly towards An Shiyi. “Is he a junior clansman from your clan?”
Without waiting for An Shiyi to reply, Fei Li grinned maliciously, and nodded towards Nie Tian. “You like cursing people, right? Fine! I’ll let you know what punishment a disciple from a subordinate clan will receive for insulting me!”
Sparks of flames immediately floated out of Fei Li’s fingertips, within which thrummed surges of blazing spiritual energy.
He was on the property of the Spiritual Treasure sect, with the An Sisters standing right beside him. Even so, after assuming Nie Tian was a clansman from the An clan, he actually dared to make a move on him without the slightest scruple.
“You dare to lay a hand on him?”An Ying shouted out loud. “You aren’t afraid that Eccentric Wu will rip you apart!”
An Shiyi had also planned to stop Fei Li, but hearing that An Ying shouted out, she stopped.
After hearing An Ying’s words, Fei Li’s expression abruptly changed.
FIZZ! FIZZ!
He forcefully channeled those beams of flame back into his body. He took a deep breath and asked, “You are Nie Tian?”
“I am,” Nie Tian calmly answered.
“Who is An Shiyi to you?”
“She’s my sworn sister.”
Fei Li clearly had a suspicious look in his eyes as he glanced at An Ying, and then he realized that An Ying had an arrogant expression on her face.
He immediately understood that it was An Ying who had brought Nie Tian to this place. He also understood her intentions.
“It’s dark already. It’s inconvenient for me to stay here any longer.”
With these words, he frowned and left decisively, without continuing to berate Nie Tian or demand an answer from An Shiyi.
After he had left, only Nie Tian and the An sisters were left in the courtyard.
“Thank you,” An Shiyi said softly.
“You’re my sworn sister from today on,” Nie Tian said solemnly. “And I’m serious about that.”
An Shiyi’s bright eyes lit up.
An Ying said hastily, “Elder Sister, Nie Tian is Wu Ji’s disciple. As long as you establish a relationship with him, that old bastard Gan Kang definitely won’t dare to be so impudent!”
With great sincerity, Nie Tian said, “Elder Sister An, you gave me a slot to the Green Illusion dimension trial.Whatever your intentions were, I benefited a great deal from it and for that I’ll always remember your kindness. I once said to An Ying that if you were to encounter troubles one day, then given that I was capable, I would definitely help you at all costs.
“Of course, my strength is still far from sufficient. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have allowed that Fei Li to walk out of this courtyard!
“The only thing that I can do for you now is to use my status to overshadow Gan Kang, so that he won’t dare to act imprudently.”
Before An Ying and Nie Tian arrived, An Ying had already told him that Fei Li’s Master, Gan Kang, was one of the equipment forging experts of the Spiritual Treasure sect.
The Spiritual Treasure sect was a Qi warrior sect, but wasn’t exactly the same as the Cloudsoaring sect, Grayvale sect, or Mystic Mist sect. The sect was divided into two parts, namely the Spiritual school and the Treasure school.
The Spiritual school attached their importance to the cultivation of Qi, which therefore made it generally similar to the other three sects.
The Treasure school, on the other hand, consisted of equipment forgers who focused their energy on researching the techniques of equipment refining and forging, and viewed it as their way of cultivation.
Gan Kang was one of the highest ranked equipment forging experts in the Treasure school, and also the fifth person in the Treasure school to be able to refine Premium grade spiritual tools.
The best equipment forging master in the Treasure school was an old friend of Nie Tian’s master, Wu Ji, and was also infatuated with equipment forging and practically never paid attention to sect affairs.
Therefore, Gan Kang and three other high-ranked equipment forging experts were left in charge of all of the affairs in the Treasure school.
The master of the Spiritual school was also the master of the Spiritual Treasure sect. Even though he held unparalleled power in the sect, he seldom interfered with the Treasure school’s internal affairs.
Even he had to give face to the four highly ranked equipment forgers. As long as they didn’t do anything over the line, the sectmaster would usually not interfere with what they did or just turn a blind eye to it.
The reason that the Spiritual Treasure sect ranked higher than the Cloudsoaring sect, Grayvale sect, and Mystic Mist sect, was that other than the Spiritual school, they also had the Treasure school.
Most of the spiritual tools that the Qi warriors of the four sects used were refined and forged by the Treasure school, and thus the Treasure school enjoyed a very special position amongst the four sects.
Generally speaking, the Spiritual school, as well as the other three sects, weren’t willing to offend equipment forgers from the Treasure school.
The reason Nie Tian was aware of Gan Kang’s status, yet still had the audacity to pressure Gan Kang with his own status was, because he knew that his Master, Wu Ji, was sworn friends with the Treasure school’s strongest equipment forging master, Fang Hui.
Considering Gan Kang’s status, if it was anyone else from the Cloudsoaring sect, they probably wouldn’t be too willing to make enemies with Gan Kang.
However, Nie Tian wasn’t afraid.
“Elder Sister, you need Nie Tian as your nominal younger brother!” An Ying said in a low voice.
An Shiyi seemed somewhat hesitant. “It’s very kind of Nie Tian, but I’m afraid that I’ll bring him troubles.”
Nie Tian chuckled and said, “I don’t care whether you accept me or not. From now on, I’ll tell everyone I see that you’re my sworn sister!”
An Shiyi’s glistening, charming eyes hesitated for a moment before she burst into laughter. Her beauty was like that of hundreds of beautiful blooming flowers. “If you want an elder sister so badly, I’ll be your elder sister.”
