From a refugee to a martial artist

Chapter 35 Inheritance
Nie Qingqing stood by the railing, watching the warm midday sun and people walking on the street.

The young man walked on the road holding the knife, and did not rush back in a hurry, which showed that he was calm. He even had time to buy a few green tangerines, squeezed tangerine peel juice on his body, and ate the fruits with the skin and flesh, clearly to cover up the smell of alcohol.

"No wonder my father doesn't let me talk to him much." Nie Qingqing held her forehead and smiled, then called for someone to clean up.

She personally served a pot of wine to each table of guests on the second floor who had not left, and chatted with familiar guests.

After half an hour, the sound of horse hooves was heard outside, and then Nie Yannian and Zhang Guinian went upstairs together.

"Uncle Zhang, Dad." Nie Qingqing invited the two into the box.

"What happened?" Nie Yannian was busy in the martial arts world. He received a message saying that there was trouble in Zuiyue Tower, so he hurried over.

Zhang Guinian also has stake in Zuiyue Tower, so they came here together.

Nie Qingqing was not in a hurry. She served tea first and then explained the whole story.

After hearing this, Nie Yannian did not think that it was a big deal to hurt the prince's face. He just smiled and said, "Look, Old Zhang, some people are used to a comfortable life and think that the peaceful world is just like this, and whoever has power is the most powerful. They forget that status and power are just the surface, and swords and fists are the essence. These people are just like children playing house, but people can't play house all the time, otherwise they are stupid and will be destined to be slaves all their lives!"

He spread his hands and smiled, then continued, "You say the little gelder has insight, right? He keeps thinking about the few taels of silver with me all day long. You say he has no insight, but he knows who he can rely on. He saw long ago that the princess and Prince Xin don't get along, and I am the princess's man, so he was not stupid enough to change his allegiance like Liu He, nor was he stupid enough to stand by and watch. Instead, he knew who to please."

"Dad, judge by actions, not by heart. No one is a good person if his heart is judged. I think Mr. Meng is an honest man." Nie Qingqing spoke for Meng Yuan.

"If he is honest, I am a saint!" Nie Yannian was not happy, and then he continued: "Also, he is called Master Meng after only knowing him for a few days? He is still a castrator, how can he be called a Master?"

Nie Qingqing smiled and said, "You are a man of justice, helping the needy and the needy. You have the spirit of an ancient knight. How can you not be called a sir?"

"You should talk less to him!" Nie Yannian was very angry when he saw his daughter kept speaking for outsiders.

Nie Qingqing smiled and said, "Dad, I have already promised Master Meng on your behalf to let him help you with work and supplement the family income. Please don't make it difficult for me."

"Who is the boss between us? You still agree on my behalf?" Nie Yannian said angrily, "Is it easy for me to make money? I have to give money away when I open a martial arts business, and there are a few bastards waiting to share the money, but I don't have much money!"

"Anyway, I've agreed. If you don't need any help, I'll find a way myself."

Nie Qingqing bowed to Zhang Guinian obediently and said, "Uncle Zhang, please persuade my father not to cheat people out of their money again. It's so pitiful."

After saying this, Nie Qingqing left.

Zhang Guinian then spoke up and asked, "Did you cheat someone out of their money?"

"It's a bounty. Besides, that money was earned by me and him. He insisted on treating us to show off. Who can I blame?" Nie Yannian said.

"You also said that the bounty was earned by the gelding with great effort. Even if you spend it on banquets, you can't spend it all, right? Old Nie, you cheat people out of some of the bounty, but don't lose your daughter in the process!" Zhang Guinian laughed. Nie Yannian remembered what his daughter had said just now, and he really kept silent.

"Old Nie, what do you think?" Seeing that Nie Yannian didn't say anything, Zhang Guinian smiled again and said, "I can see that you like that child. This time he is standing up for Qingqing and you. It's not a big deal if he hurts the face of that stupid prince. You and the princess's brother have been through life and death together. The princess is nostalgic and can settle the matter with just one sentence."

"It's not worth asking the princess for such a trivial matter."

Nie Yannian sighed and said, "I'm thinking of finding someone to take over my job. In a few years, I won't be able to lift a knife anymore. I only have one daughter and no relatives. I'm afraid she will be helpless and I need to find someone to protect her."

"Are you planning to fax your abilities? Let him take over your job?" Zhang Guinian asked curiously.

"Damn it, the gelder is really good at climbing up the ladder, I have already faxed my ability!"

Nie Yannian smiled helplessly, "I had planned to pick one from Ren Debiao and Wu Changsheng, and I observed them carefully. Both of them are good. Ren Debiao has made rapid progress in martial arts, and he has reached the eighth rank in just over two years; Wu Changsheng is active and perceptive, and his aptitude is not bad. I am actually more optimistic about Wu Changsheng. If this child is trained well, even if he can't make a big name in the future, he can take over my business. If he has a noble person to help him, he may be more comfortable than me."

"Then who do you choose?" Zhang Guinian asked curiously.

"Isn't the castrator here?" Nie Yannian spread out his hands. "When this guy came, he immediately surpassed Ren Debiao and Wu Changsheng. Not only does he have excellent aptitude for learning martial arts, he also reached the highest level in a few months. He is even more diligent than I was when I was learning martial arts! Not to mention his character, he has a very upright mind and treats other people's rumors as bullshit!"

Nie Yannian pointed to the south and continued, "The last time I went to Taohualing to kill the Buddhist demon, after I crippled the Great Tail Venerable, I hurried to see the two of them. As a result, Wolf Big fought desperately, and the little gelder was even more ruthless than Wolf Big, so he killed Wolf Big. Ren Debiao has been learning martial arts for so long, and when Wolf Eryi fought desperately, he was actually frightened and didn't dare to fight anymore."

"This fight shows that Ren Debiao is not as brave and daring as the young gelder, and he is still narrow-minded. If it was Wu Changsheng who was in charge of today's matter, he probably wouldn't dare to throw a punch directly. Isn't this because he was outdone by the young gelder?"

As Nie Yannian spoke, he smiled and said, "The young gelder knows what he wants. He is still studying and learning how to write. He wants to be a master of both literature and martial arts!"

When Zhang Guinian heard this, he also laughed and said, "The princess's family is full of knowledge, and the gelder has also been tainted with literary spirit."

"I don't think he is a good student. His poetry might not even be as good as that of the prince!" Nie Yannian laughed.

"It's always good to read more." Zhang Guinian said cheerfully, "According to what you said, he has a good character, good qualifications, and is sensible and motivated. How is he in dealing with people? If he takes over your business in the future, he can't just rely on knives."

"He's not bad. He knows what to say to whom!" Nie Yannian couldn't stop laughing. "The princess asked me to take care of those kids, saying that I just needed to teach them casually. Of all the kids, he was the only one who was shameless enough to ask me for money! I had already taught him too much, and he spent all his money on wine just to get me to teach him more. Afterwards, he even had the audacity to ask my daughter for money. I've never seen such a shameless person!"

"He doesn't treat you as an outsider. Didn't you also try to cultivate him?" Zhang Guinian saw through it very clearly. "As long as he's not an ungrateful person and not mean and ungrateful, that's fine. You teach him some skills, and he knows how to cry at your grave, then that's fine."

"Let's wait and see. Young people's temperaments are still undecided. Who knows what they will be like!" Nie Yannian sighed, "There's no need to rush. The princess is good at judging people. I'll take him to see her later."

"That's fine. It's your business anyway." Zhang Guinian stood up. "I have to go back now. Aren't you going to clean up his mess?"

"Wipe his ass?" Nie Yannian laughed, "You know Xunmei, right? She's the princess's personal accountant! He coaxed Xunmei into submission, and Xunmei always thought he was a kind and honest person! Believe it or not, he has coaxed Xunmei into submission again, and it's not my turn to wipe his ass!"
