“Why aren’t you speaking? Do you need spiritual aura again?” The bigger fetus had already begun acting like an older brother despite not being born yet. When he looked at the younger fetus, his lofty gaze especially seemed like Baili Jia Jue’s. He may be too young to be as conniving as his father, but his overbearingness and concern for others were particularly p.r.o.nounced.
The smaller fetus shook his head, yet his weak voice conveyed his strategic mind as he said, “We are in Exorcist City. There’s an abundance of spiritual aura here. You need not concern yourself over me, but I don’t think you should go looking for food these two days. I worry that someone might notice you.”
The bigger fetus understood what his younger sibling was implying. At present, they had not grown apart fully yet, so their relations.h.i.+p was closer than any usual siblings. That was the case for twin demons, it was their basic instinct to protect and kill…
For example, when it comes to Helian Wei Wei, they would not allow anyone to hurt their mother, even if it was their father.
More so if it was any other person.
The two fetuses have agreed that they would protect their mother forever. As for their father, they believed that he would take care of anyone who offended him. They did not need to worry about him at all.
The two fetuses knew this very well, but Ni Hu did not.
Neither does the entire Ni family.
In fact, they were celebrating now as if they had already won the contest.
After hearing the new regulations of the contest, Ni Hu laughed arrogantly and said, “Dad, you always have a way with things. The Zhuge family would not be able to find three capable exorcists. I don’t think they will dare to join this contest now. They definitely don’t have enough people to even accept our challenge! They are probably considering how they should forfeit their eligibility!”
Ni Biao glanced at him and nonchalantly said, “You better brush up on your skills, stop shaming our family’s name with your incompetence.”
“Yes, father.” Ni Hu replied with an aggrieved expression, “Dad, you don’t know how it was today. I was about to win and was this close to breaking Zhuge Yun’s hand. That would have completely subdued the Zhuge family. However, two foreign exorcists appeared out of nowhere and joined the fight.”
Ni Biao’s face darkened when he heard it. It had been a long time since anyone dared to challenge the Ni family. Anger rose uncontrollably in his eyes, but he did not pay much attention to those two challengers. They must be some newly arrived young people who knew nothing about the local customs.
“I have heard that. Put those two behind you.” Ni Biao’s voice was nonchalant as he said, “Your uncle has checked them out. No one in the exorcising world has heard of their names. They must be overconfident beginners, stupidly causing a ruckus in Exorcist City. They are simply worthless.”
Ni Hu grunted in agreement. His expression pained suddenly as he covered his face with his hand and said, “Those two went to the Zhuge family’s side after appearing. Even after I announced my name, they remained unremorseful. It’s obvious that they have no respect for our family. They may be young and new to the city, but Father, we have to teach them a lesson, so they know the rules in this city!”
“I don’t need your reminders. I’m planning on it.” Ni Biao’s voice deepened, saying, “n.o.body should be allowed to leave safely after hitting my son. Now is not the time to act. Once we get the Sarira, I will make them pay!”
As the saying goes, like father, like son.
Ni Hu’s wilfulness was a match for Ni Biao’s arrogance.
The only difference was that Ni Biao was shadier in his dealings.
For example, he had long decided that he had to punish this disobedient young man, Zhuge Yun. However, no one in the Exorcist City saw through his intentions. By allying with the other two families to outcast the Zhuge family, he was certain that the ungrateful kid would succ.u.mb to pressure in merely two days.
This was just the first step in Ni Biao’s plan. He planned to seize the power over the major families in his hands and rule over Exorcist City completely.
Then, all the exorcists would have to obey his orders.
Even the emperors of various dynasties on the Divine Mainland would have to show him some respect.
This was an idea given by his eldest daughter, who was the reincarnation of Phoenix Girl.
1He never believed the rumor that the person who had the Phoenix girl would rule the world, but now he was convinced wholeheartedly.
However, he had to get the Sarira first…
As Ni Biao pondered silently, the bustling hall suddenly became quiet. Everyone looked at the door, and saw a lady in a white cloak and fur hat walking in.
After she had entered, everyone seemed to be holding their breaths.
Her physical appearance was too enchanting, with indescribable tenderness. Her fair, delicate skin and gentle features made her look like Lady Guan Yin to some degree, even her fluttering sleeves seemed celestial. She seemed pristine and had a n.o.ble air as she walked by. Her thin lips parted slightly and as she softly called out, “Dad.”
“It’s Eldest Young Lady Ni Feng!”
“What a rare occasion. Didn’t they say Lady Ni Feng hasn’t appeared in public for a long time? Being here today is absolutely worth it.”
“Yeah, can you feel the spiritual aura emitting from her body? She’s indeed the Phoenix Girl reincarnated. That must be the reason she is so spiritually abundant!”
Hearing the shower of praises on his daughter, Ni Biao felt extremely proud when he looked at his beloved daughter. Smiling, he said, “Come sit down. The kitchen has prepared your favorite chestnut cake, it’s what you like to have during winter.”
Ni Feng glanced at the pastries on the plate but did not take any of it. She merely smiled and replied, “Thank you, Father. I heard that the rules of the contest have been released.”
Ni Biao took a sip of tea and said, “Yes, they are out. I’m also one of the judges. Feng’er, you’re weak, so don’t be bothered by these trivial matters. Don’t worry, no one would be able to stop the Ni family this time. Even that rascal Zhuge Yun would not be able to appear in the contest. I’ve settled everything well. You just have to complete your task when the time comes and arrive at the royal tomb’s entrance as soon as possible. This may be dangerous for others, but it’s a piece of cake for you. However, the journey there would be dangerous, so you have to rest well in the coming days.”
“Alright,” Ni Feng gave a few light coughs as she agreed to her father. Her sleeves were heavily scented with herbs.
“How are you coughing again?” Ni Biao looked at her worriedly.
Ni Feng did not speak, but merely covered her lips with a white handkerchief. She looked like she was sniffing at something…
