Chapter 646: A Hundred Flowers Blossom at the Same Time
Chen Musheng stood by the opening of the bamboo forest. In a humble manner, he said, “Nie Tian, this is the residence our sectmaster has arranged for your grandfather to live in.
“Apart from the top of Cloudsoaring Mountain and the short mountain where your master lives, this bamboo forest has the richest spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth in this entire area. Besides, this location is secluded and quiet, which makes it a perfect place to live in.”
Nie Tian glanced around and saw two clear creeks running through a forest of fresh, green bamboo, and a handful of well-designed buildings sitting by the creeks. He nodded in satisfaction.
“I’ll take my leave now if you don’t need me anymore.” Chen Musheng asked for permission to leave.
“Thank you for bringing me here, Elder Chen,” Nie Tian said.
“You’re most welcome.” A hearty smile finally appeared on Chen Musheng’s nervous face as he sensed from Nie Tian’s words that he had forgiven him and wouldn’t try to find fault with him for the unfairness he had done to Nie Donghai and the Nie Clan.
Ever since he had learned that Nie Tian had risen to prominence and won the acknowledgment of many major sects, he had been in a constant state of anxiety.
He had feared that Nie Tian would seek him out one day to settle accounts with him.
Earlier, Nie Tian had intentionally ignored him when they had met in the Realm of Split Void, which had made him realize that Nie Tian hadn’t forgiven him.
It was also at that time that he witnessed Nie Tian’s strong influence and lofty status, and thus decided to do everything within his power to make up for his mistakes, hoping that Nie Tian would forgive him eventually.
For that reason, he had visited the Nie Clan repeatedly to talk to Nie Donghai ever since he had returned to the Realm of Flame Heaven.
Since he had apologized sincerely and amended his mistakes, Nie Donghai had already forgiven him.
Today, Nie Tian saying ‘thank you’ to him finally relieved him from the fear that Nie Tian would find an opportunity to hold him responsible for his previous mistakes.
Satisfied, Chen Musheng left.
As soon as he left, Li Langfeng appeared and said in a respectful manner, “Nie Tian.”
Surprised, Nie Tian asked, “Since when have you been here?”
Upon seeing Li Langfeng, Li Ye’s expression flickered as he subconsciously stepped back to keep a safe distance from him.
Li Langfeng had a notorious name in the Realm of Split Void. Almost everyone had heard about his brutal means and merciless nature. Therefore, Li Ye was still apprehensive, even though he knew that Li Langfeng had decided to work for Nie Tian.
After all, Li Langfeng, who practiced poisonous incantations, was very different from regular Qi warriors.
“I stayed in the Realm of a Hundred Battles when you left for the Realm of Mystic Heaven with Senior Zhao,” Li Langfeng explained. “Then, when I learned that the crisis in the Realm of Mystic Heaven was over, and Miss Dong was coming to see you in the Realm of Flame Heaven, I came with her.”
Nie Tian nodded. “I see. But why didn’t you stay in the bamboo forest? You seem to have come from that direction.”
After a moment of hesitation, Li Langfeng sagged his head and said, “Wherever I go, misfortune follows. And I practice poisonous incantations. I’m afraid that I’ll bring misfortune to your family, so...”
Apparently, he had chosen to live in another location so that the bamboo forest wouldn’t be polluted by his aura, which he was afraid would somehow bring bad luck to Nie Tian’s family.
Li Ye snorted a laugh. “Who would have thought that a fierce person like you would believe in luck?”
“Come with us. You don’t bring misfortune. It’s just that you’ve gone through some misfortunes in your life. That’s all.” With these words, Nie Tian walked into the bamboo forest with a calm expression.
Li Ye followed along without hesitation.
Eyes filled with gratitude, Li Langfeng stood there for a few seconds, circulating his spiritual power to suppress his aura. Only after he was certain that not a shred of his poisonous aura would leave him did he quietly trot after Nie Tian and Li Ye.
As soon as Nie Tian entered the bamboo forest, he heard young women chatting and laughing.
A confused expression instantly appeared on his face.
Li Ye gazed into the depths of the bamboo forest and saw numerous young women, who were dressed in fine garments and wearing makeup, in a bamboo building. Eyes wide, he exclaimed softly, “There are a lot of pretty girls there! Ye Qin from the Yin Sect, Qin Yan from the Water Moon Chamber of Commerce, Xuan Yue from the Ice Pavilion Sect, Qi Yiren from the Tool Sect, and Cao Feifei from the Cao Clan...”
Li Ye’s beady eyes glittered with the light of excitement as he stated the names of the known beauties from all over the Domain of the Falling Stars as if he were introducing treasures from his collection.
