Chapter 130 Liu Tian Shi

These past few days, besides eating and entering the game at night, Wang Duo, Lin Yi, and the others had been undergoing hellish, devilish training, or sparring with each other. The intensity of their training exceeded the imagination of ordinary people.

Wang Duo, Lin Yi, and the others had been in a state of extreme exhaustion, without even a moment to rest. They had no idea what their physical condition was like. Several times, they thought they were going to die. Many of them had considered giving up, but under Ci Dao's (Stab) taunts, they persevered little by little. They had their own dignity! If they quit, they would never be able to hold their heads up for the rest of their lives.

They had even forgotten how many days had passed.

After resting for thirty minutes, Wang Duo, Lin Yi, and the others finally recovered a lot of their strength.

Nie Yan watched their sparring with Ci Dao. Wang Duo, Lin Yi, and the others might not have realized it themselves, but Nie Yan could clearly feel that their fighting skills had improved significantly.

Mo Yuntian would probably be very pleased to see this situation. He just didn't know if they were strong enough to get into the 012 Special Forces Brigade.

The 012 Special Forces Brigade exam had always been shrouded in a fog for Nie Yan. There was no concrete idea of what level they needed to reach.

Nie Yan could only do his best. He had taught them all the skills of a top-tier profession. The master could lead them to the door, but the cultivation depended on the individual. It was up to them to comprehend how much they could. To what extent they could reach would depend on their own good fortune.

If Wang Duo, Lin Yi, and the others successfully entered the 012 Special Forces Brigade, then Mo Yuntian would really owe Nie Yan a favor. With someone like Mo Yuntian as his backing, the future development of Tianxia Group would be guaranteed.

It shouldn't be a problem leaving this place to Ci Dao. Nie Yan withdrew and returned to his villa.

Nie Yan and Xie Yao ate something together, then set off for school.

Xie Yao was wearing a pink dress, which made her look delicate and adorable. On the shaded paths of the school, passersby couldn't help but turn their heads. People who knew Nie Yan and Xie Yao passed by and greeted them. The boys couldn't help but envy Nie Yan for finding such a beautiful and elegant girlfriend as Xie Yao.

It was said that Nie Yan was the most disliked person in the Department of Business Management, for no other reason than that Nie Yan had snatched away their department's belle.

However, no one dared to cause trouble for Nie Yan. Now, almost everyone in the school knew that Nie Yan was the boss of Blue Wind Chimes. Causing trouble for Nie Yan was simply courting death. In addition, Nie Yan had a terrifying name in the game, Mad Rogue Nie Yan.

"Nie Yan, it's said that in a few days, there will be a school-wide fighting competition. First, there will be competitions for each grade level, and then the top three will participate in the school-wide competition. Are you going to participate?" Xie Yao asked, her right arm linked with Nie Yan's. She was still a little unaccustomed to this intimate gesture. Feeling the gazes of the people around them, her cheeks were flushed.

"I'm not going to participate." Nie Yan shook his head. His mind was already mature. He was past the age of being excited and thrilled by those boring awards. He'd let Lei Su take that award.

"It's said that if you win an award, the school will make some concessions and exempt you from certain courses," Xie Yao said. Although she understood that Nie Yan might not care about those things, she still wanted Nie Yan to try for it.

"I'll see when the time comes." Nie Yan smiled slightly, looked down at Xie Yao, whose bright and moving beauty, like a lily blooming quietly, made everyone fall for her looks.

Nie Yan and Xie Yao chatted about some interesting things that had happened in Huahai. As they passed by the gymnasium and through a small path, he suddenly saw a familiar face.

It was Qin Han!

About two hundred meters away, Qin Han also spotted Nie Yan and looked over.

Their eyes met. Nie Yan still had an indifferent expression, but Qin Han couldn't hide the hostility in his eyes.

Qin Han's Monnet Consortium had suffered a major defeat in *Faith*. All of his previous investments had gone down the drain. Qin Han himself was chased down to level zero by the Greenland Empire's guards and had no choice but to delete his account. After selling off all of its virtual assets, the Monnet Consortium withdrew from *Faith*. Failing to join the Heavenly Kings organization and suffering setbacks in his investment in *Faith*, Qin Han's prestige in the Monnet Consortium had fallen sharply. Although his position as heir had not been shaken, his days ahead probably wouldn't be easy.

Only now did Nie Yan notice that there was someone else standing next to Qin Han, wearing a casual suit. He looked to be about twenty-three or twenty-four years old, with handsome features and a slightly taller stature than Qin Han. He had a unique aura.

That person looked over at Nie Yan. Qin Han whispered something in his ear, and that person smiled faintly.

Qin Han's attitude towards that person was very polite.

Nie Yan's gaze swept over that person. He felt a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen this guy before.

That person and Qin Han walked straight towards Nie Yan.

The outline of that person's face fell into Nie Yan's eyes. He had a faint smile on his face, giving people a sense of superiority. Some memories emerged from his mind, becoming clearer and clearer. Nie Yan's heart trembled. He suddenly remembered who this person was.

He would never forget that face. It was the memory of his deepest pain.

That time when Tang Yao was fighting over a girl in a bar, this person was the one who led the charge and beat Tang Yao to death. By the time Nie Yan arrived, it was too late. What he saw was that hateful face. That person had a faint mocking smile on his face and was nonchalantly taken away by the police. At that time, he forced himself to restrain himself and didn't rush up to kill that guy. He firmly believed that there would be a fair trial. However, nothing came of it. Nie Yan never saw that person again. He seemed to have disappeared from the world, never to be found again.

Tang Yao's father still had some wealth and influence. For Tang Yao's lawsuit, he was bankrupted by a mysterious person and had to return to Ningjiang.

Nie Yan hated himself immensely at the time. He should have just shot this guy in the first place, so that he wouldn't have had no chance to avenge Tang Yao later on.

Seeing him again in this life, Nie Yan clenched his fists, forcibly suppressing the killing intent that was about to erupt in his heart. He kept telling himself that this wasn't the previous life, that this was already another time and space. Yaozi (Tang Yao) was still alive, but he couldn't help but be agitated. Although he had been reborn, the experiences of his previous life were still deeply imprinted in his mind.

Tang Yao had grown up with him, as close as brothers. Even in his most difficult times, Tang Yao had been secretly supporting him, making him feel the warmth of brotherhood. Nie Yan saw Tang Yao being beaten to death, his eyes wide with disbelief, and watched as the murderer swaggered past him, but he couldn't avenge Tang Yao. The emotions at that time were beyond the understanding of ordinary people. Many years later, in the dead of night, Nie Yan would often hold Tang Yao's photo and drown his sorrows in alcohol, crying loudly.

Although it was the previous life, everything was still vivid in his mind.

Nie Yan clenched his fists, the veins on his arms bulging.

Xie Yao sensed Nie Yan's anger and asked with concern, "Nie Yan, what's wrong?"

Nie Yan took a few deep breaths to calm his agitated emotions. The fact that Tang Yao was still alive had somewhat soothed Nie Yan's hatred. He gradually calmed down, shook his head, and said, "It's nothing." After his emotions had settled down, Nie Yan began to look at the matter rationally. In his previous life, that guy had killed Tang Yao and was still able to roam free, even causing Tang's father to go bankrupt for the sake of the lawsuit. His background was definitely not simple. The current Nie Yan was not alone like he was in his previous life. He had so many people he needed to protect, so many bonds. He couldn't be as impulsive as he was in his previous life, otherwise he would harm many people. He could no longer use such extreme methods as assassination, and then die for it.

Xie Yao was very worried about Nie Yan's condition. Seeing Nie Yan calm down, she felt relieved. Seeing Qin Han walking towards them, she guessed that it might be related to Qin Han. No matter what conflicts there were between Nie Yan and Qin Han, or what would happen in the future, she would help Nie Yan face them together.

The killing intent in Nie Yan's eyes was only fleeting. He would determine that guy's background first. If he could afford to offend him, Nie Yan wouldn't mind teaching this guy a good lesson to make him remember.

That person and Qin Han stopped in front of Nie Yan. His gaze swept over Xie Yao's face, and his eyes lit up. Xie Yao's beauty was very stunning, but it was only a brief moment of distraction. He retracted his gaze and looked at Nie Yan, saying, "Hello, my name is Liu Tianshi. They all call me Third Brother. Nie Yan from the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Mad Rogue Nie Yan. I've heard so much about you." His expression didn't convey any sense of admiration, but rather a scrutinizing gaze at Nie Yan.

This condescending gaze made Nie Yan very uncomfortable. He remembered Liu Tianshi's disdainful and mocking smile after he killed Tang Yao in his previous life.

"Hello, beautiful lady." Liu Tianshi turned to Xie Yao, with what he thought was a charming smile.

"Hello." Xie Yao still linked her arm with Nie Yan's and responded faintly, ignoring Liu Tianshi.

Liu Tianshi was a little embarrassed and annoyed.

"Is there anything you need from us?" Nie Yan asked, his gaze glancing at Liu Tianshi's fingers. This guy's fingers were as fair and slender as a woman's.

"It's nothing. I just saw you and came over to say hello." Qin Han interjected indifferently.

"If there's nothing else, we'll be going now." Nie Yan really had no interest in chatting with Qin Han.

"If you don't mind, we can discuss a deal." Liu Tianshi said, looking at Nie Yan with narrowed eyes.

"What deal?"

"I've recently become interested in *Faith*. Sell me the Niu Ren Tribe. Any price is fine, just name it."
