Did all of this guy's intelligence get redistributed to his martial strength instead?
In the end, Ye Wanwan gave up on the idea of beating him to death since she couldn't defeat him…
"Is there any method to make my martial strength recover as soon as possible?" Ye Wanwan asked with a sigh.
Nameless Nie mulled over it and scratched his head. "Um… That's hard to say. In your situation, you aren't a newbie who can increase your martial strength through training. Your body function and quality are already there, and you're working with top-notch equipment already.
"Hence, your problem isn't that you have bad equipment; it's that you can't use it or start it, so you're unable to display its ability.
"Everyone has a different comprehension of martial arts, and only you know your body best. I'm afraid no one else can help you with that…"
Ye Wanwan felt a headache pounding. "Nie Linglong is probably planning to s.n.a.t.c.h the position of family head. Can't you work harder? Today, she purposefully sent an a.s.sa.s.sin to test me and also publicized my plunge in martial strength to all the elders and higher-ups. The situation is very disadvantageous for us."
Nameless Nie grumbled, "It's not that I don't work hard; it's that my real dad rejected me with a single vote! He said he was afraid of the Nie family being destroyed in my hands, so he absolutely wouldn't allow me to become the family head!"
Ye Wanwan responded, "Our dad is pretty wise."
It was actually more frightening for someone to solely have martial strength while lacking a brain.
"What do you mean he's wise? Our dad is clearly muddle-headed! But forget about that for now, you still have to deal with your problem yourself. Public morals are deteriorating with each pa.s.sing day, so it'd better if you recovered faster or else a problem will eventually pop up," Nameless Nie said, looking at Ye Wanwan.
Ye Wanwan didn't say anything to that.
The headmaster also said last time that the rest of her recovery solely relied on her. She was just afraid she wouldn't have enough time…
"However, Sister, I still felt like something is wrong with the Nie family right now. That little b*tch, Nie Linglong, isn't related by blood to the Nie family at all, so logically speaking, she isn't qualified to become a candidate for the Nie family head at all. However, there are higher-ups and elders who support her, so I think they might've been bribed," Nameless Nie continued.
"Is that even a question?" Ye Wanwan shot Nameless Nie a look.
They were definitely bribed. Nie Linglong had to have offered some immense benefit or some promise to those elders and higher-ups who supported her.
Furthermore, the elders and higher-ups were stirring trouble using their father's bloodline. They claimed that Father also wasn't a member of the Nie family, but since he became the patriarch of the Nie family, why couldn't Nie Linglong?
They had to be commended for thinking of this excuse and reasoning, especially since other people couldn't really refute it.
"Let's head back and rest. We have to keep our health up and must be vigilant while Dad and Mom are gone," Ye Wanwan said to Nameless Nie.
Right now, the Nie family could only rely on the two of them, and Ye Wanwan could only trust Nameless Nie.
Unfortunately, if Nameless Nie was smarter and more shrewd, he would just need to stomp his feet with his martial strength and the entire Nie family would shake. Who would dare to rebel?
However, it had to be said that the heavens were fair…
"Mm, you're right, Sister. We need to keep our health up. Don't worry, I'm here. I'll protect you." Nameless Nie turned and left.
…
However, to Ye Wanwan's surprise, things developed worse than expected.
The next day, news suddenly came from Jin City that Madam Nie and Patriarch Nie encountered an ambush on their way there. Their current whereabouts and fate were unknown.
