240 Invitation
In the Nie family’s residence, Nie Lin rushed to Nie Yin’s room when he heard that Nie Yin had returned.
Seeing Nie Yin sitting on the bed with a pale face, Nie Lin hesitated for a moment before saying, “Your marriage with the princess is no longer valid. For the sake of the Nie family, do you think the clan…”
“I already have someone in mind,” Nie Yin said. He recalled the girl he had seen on Spirit Mountain before the spirit beast competition. Although he had only seen her once, he still couldn’t forget her.
Although that girl was gorgeous, he was more interested in her cultivation level. No woman in the empire could compare to her!
Previously, he had paid special attention to Li Ling only because Li Ling had the same vibe as her at that time.
However, ever since Li Ling disappeared, he hadn’t seen such a special woman!
“Who is it?” Nie Lin asked impatiently.
Nie Yin shook his head and said “I don’t know who she is…”
“But I will definitely find her!” Nie Yin’s gaze was firm. Thinking of the pair of eyes he saw on the street today, his desire deepened.
However, his firm attitude didn’t last long. His face turned red and purplish as he had a coughing fit.
Nie Lin looked at Nie Yin worriedly. “Ever since you returned from the palace, your body seems to have become more and more…”
Before Nie Lin could finish, Nie Yin stopped him. “I’m fine.”
“I’ll have to trouble you to deal with the rest!” Nie Yin said as he panted softly after coughing.
“In addition, there doesn’t seem to be any movement from the Hua family these few days,” Nie Yin said as he frowned slightly, his expression filled with doubt.
“I’ve already sent someone to investigate this matter.” Nie Lin was equally suspicious. “According to the report, there’s only been one Spiritual Doctor accompanying Hua Shang for the past few days.”
“Although that Spirit Doctor��s medical skills are not bad…” Nie Lin paused for a moment before continuing, “He probably doesn’t have a method to treat Hua Shang. However, according to my inference, Hua Shang’s illness acted up these few days, so the Hua family is probably in a mess!”
“But why is there no news about it at all?” The more Nie Lin spoke, the more he felt that something was amiss.
“Why don’t I go to the Hua family’s residence personally tonight…”
As soon as Nie Lin finished speaking, Nie Yin immediately stopped him. “No!”
“Why not? Do you think I’m afraid of the Hua family?” Nie Lin didn’t take it seriously.
In the imperial capital, Nie Lin was one of the top experts.
Other than Hua Shang, he didn’t care about those useless people in the Hua family at all!
However, even if Hua Shang’s body was fine, he was still several levels lower than him in terms of strength!
Nie Yin shook his head. “I suspect that there’s another expert in the Hua family. I’m afraid they’ve already set up a trap and are waiting for us to fall for it! To avoid falling into their trap, we can’t act rashly!”
Although Nie Lin was displeased, he still listened to Nie Yin’s advice. He wasn’t a reckless person, but there was no movement from the Hua family, so he felt a little uneasy.
“Then tell me, what should we do? If we don’t find out what the Hua family’s situation is like and if Hua Shang is dead or alive, we can’t just keep waiting like this!” Nie Lin said irritably.
Nie Yin pondered for a while before looking up at Nie Lin. “Why don’t we send an invitation to the Hua family and let them come to us?”
“Would they come at this time?” Nie Lin disagreed.
Hua Shang was seriously ill, so if the Nie family sent an invitation, the Hua family probably wouldn’t accept it so easily!
…
As Hua Shang lay on the bed, he watched Mr. Hua walk around the bed with a vexed expression.
“Second Uncle, what’s wrong?” Although Hua Shang’s breathing was weak, he was at least conscious now.
Mr. Hua patted his head with a sigh and sat down beside Hua Shang’s bed. “It’s all because of the Nie family’s sudden invitation.”
“They clearly have ulterior motives!” Mr. Hua said angrily.
Ever since his benefactor suddenly came to visit last time, he realized that Hua Shang’s old illness hadn’t relapsed at all. Instead, he had been poisoned.
If not for his benefactor, how could Hua Shang be able to sit here and talk to him?
When Mr. Hua thought about how Hua Shang had almost lost his life, he wanted to grab the person who had planted the Gu poison and twist that person’s head off to kick it like a ball!
“We still can’t be sure that the Nie family did this,” Hua Shang said weakly. His already pale face looked even more ghastly than usual.
