: Young Master Nalan
Because they had to take care of the Nalan Clansmen, Sima You Yue and the others had to remain in the city of Linchuan for another night. They prepared to head to Anyang City on the second day.
During this time, in a warehouse not too far from where they were staying at, there were Nalan Clansmen with long faces, frighteningly solemn.
"Senior and Cousin have been killed?" The man who sat in the centre looked at a guard who was kneeling in the centre and asked in a voice so terrifyingly cold.
That man looked rather handsome. However, his malicious eyes caused him to look rather sinister. With one look, one could tell that he was nothing good. Despite that, the men around him stood respectfully to the side, as crowded around a respected leader. This showed his position in the Nalan Clan.
"In, in reply to Young Master, after Senior and the others went out, they never returned. When we went out to look for them, we saw the clan nameplate on the ground 5km away from the city. Later on, we went to investigate and ascertained that he had fought with an expert the day before." The guard replied.
"Have you found out who that person is?"
"At that time, nobody had been able to witness it directly so they weren't able to find out who it was. However, we will definitely be able to find out who it is by morning!" The guard replied.
"No matter who it is, since they dare to kill my Nalan Clansmen, we will catch them even if they run to the ends of the earth!" Nalan Jie ordered.
"Yes, Young Master." The men in the house replied in unison.
The guard retreated and prepared to go find out who killed the senior. Just as he was leaving the house, Nalan Jie's voice carried out faintly, "If you still haven't found out who the killer is by morning, you all should return on your own for punishment."
The guard's body was as if struck by lightning. He was extremely terrified of this punishment. However, he still replied with a yes and left obediently.
Within the house, an elder and Nalan Jie sat across the table, showing that his position was not a low one.
This person was Nalan Jie's master, Nalan Gong, who was also an elder in the Nalan Clan.
"Master, who would you say killed Fifteenth Elder and the other?" Nalan Jie asked.
Nalan Gong pondered for a bit, saying, "Since he dared to kill an elder of our Nalan Clan if it isn't someone who holds the same power as our clan, it must be someone who doesn't know the power of our Nalan Clan at all."
Nalan Jie laughed coldly, "Who in this entire continent doesn't know of the power of our Nalan Clan? I feel that it's more likely the first one. It's possible that a power who has some reason to take revenge on us did it."
Nalan Gong did not deny it, saying, "The possibility is not small. After all, the meeting is about to start. The powers will be restless in the meantime. Just wait for them to find out who it is."
"Mm." Nalan Jie replied before asking again, "How does Master feel this meeting will go?"
"There's less than two years until the start of the meeting. The middle aged people are around the same level as the ones in the past. However, the youth will have quite bit of new things to throw into the mix. Despite that, their talent cannot be compared to you. You just have to take note of Sima You Lin from the Sima Clan, Sang Qiong Li from the Sang Clan and Huo Zi Yan from the Huo Clan. The others are not able to compete with you.
"Those few people have been called the four great perverse geniuses this year However, I have never had the opportunity to spar with them before. I'm really looking forward to the chance this meeting!" Nalan Jie laughed coldly.
"This meeting will involve the ranking of the powers. The exchanges between the younger generation make up a huge part. You shouldn't be careless, or else it will be bad for your father's side." Nalan Gong said.
"I know." Nalan Jie said, "I will neither disappoint Father nor the elders of the clan."
"It's great that you understand." Nalan Gong had always been very satisfied with his own disciple, the young master, and was not too worried about him.
"But Master, is that Cleaved Blood plant we picked really useful for that brat?" Nalan Jie thought of the original reason that they came out and asked with some uncertainty.
"With the Cleaved Blood plant, we'll be able to unlock that brat's physique. Once we unlock the Sacred Lotus physique, her future potential will be limitless." Nalan Gong replied.
"Is that Lotus physique really that great?" Nalan Jie asked.
"That goes without saying. Why would we take her from that land of exile otherwise." Nalan Gong said, "The Lotus Physique can allow one to train at a speed many times faster than average. The advantage that her physique gives her will be even more obvious after she breaks through that layer. Currently, that brat isn't twenty five years old yet and has not reached the deadline of the awakening of her physique. Otherwise, it would be too hard to awaken it."
Nalan Jie naturally knew that the appearance of a person with the Snow Lotus Physique was of extreme importance to the Clan's growth. There was no other reason for them to come out searching for that pill ingredient to awaken her physique.
