Chapter 1 Aftermath

After dealing with the guild matters, Nie Yan glanced at the time. There were only four or five minutes left before the game ended. He logged out.

When he went downstairs, he found that his father and mother had already left. They left early and returned late every day, busy with company matters. The Nie family's living conditions were much better than before. With the help of Nie's parents, many relatives and friends had escaped poverty. They helped Nie's parents run the company. As for Nie Yan's uncle, aunt, and aunt, they stayed in Ningjiang. Those people's lives were not very difficult, but they could not enjoy the luxurious life like in his previous life. Without those parasites, his parents' company would definitely develop better.

Nie Yan's phone rang.

"Nie Yan, did you cause trouble at school?" Nie's father's deep voice made Nie Yan a little afraid. In his previous life, even in his twenties, he was still afraid of his father.

Nie Yan's father was an extremely strict person. This sense of awe towards his father was deeply ingrained in his bones. Like many people, he would not be afraid of any strong enemy, but when his father raised his hand, he would have to run away. In fact, he respected and loved his father more than he feared him.

"I heard you seriously injured a classmate, and he has to lie in the hospital for several days."

"That was a martial arts competition. Everyone bowed to each other, and everyone agreed that they would be responsible for their own injuries. He even passed the First Military Academy test. Who knew he would be so useless? He fell to the ground after just one kick." Nie Yan muttered. However, he did trick Liu Rui a little.

"You dare to talk back!" Nie's father snorted coldly.

Nie Yan immediately fell silent, not daring to speak. He dared not provoke his father.

"Apologize to that classmate when he returns to school. Do you know how much trouble you've caused? The person you hit is the son of a major shareholder of the Longyue Conglomerate. The Longyue Conglomerate is a powerful conglomerate that dominates the entire South China region," Nie's father scolded.

"Did he come looking for trouble?" Nie Yan asked, a flash of killing intent in his eyes. If Liu Rui caused trouble for his parents, Nie Yan would never let him go!

"No, fortunately, the president of the Longyue Conglomerate came forward as a peacemaker, and he was injured during the competition, so the people there didn't have much to say. You have to be careful in the future," Nie's father said sternly.

"Yes," Nie Yan could only agree dejectedly.

Nie Yan hung up the phone, feeling quite unhappy and helpless. At this moment, Nie Yan thought a lot. In reality, it was impossible to rely on one person to fight alone. He needed to have some of his own foundation. Where should he start? He thought of Wei Kai. That guy Wei Kai had indeed been in the limelight in his previous life, but he fell because he didn't have a strong enough background. Wei Kai had previously asked to join the Ni Ren Tribe (Crazy Guild), but Nie Yan and Tang Yao had been ignoring him.

After thinking about it, it was time to meet him. He would talk about it after class.

In Nie's parents' office, the layout and furnishings were very simple, and several tables were covered with various documents.

After Nie's father hung up the phone, the frosty expression on his face melted away, and the corners of his mouth curled into a slight arc.

"What are you so happy about that you can't even close your mouth?" Nie's mother gently poured him a glass of water beside him.

"You gave birth to a good son for me. The brat hit someone on the first day of school, and he was so seriously injured that he had to lie in the hospital for several days," Nie's father said with a smile.

"You're still so happy that you hit someone." Nie's mother glared at him. He was really a little unreasonable.

"That was in the arena! Whoever gets hit has to endure it. There's nothing to say! Like father, like son! That Liu Rui is the son of Liu Ding, the second largest shareholder of the Longyue Conglomerate. It is said that he has already passed the test of the First Military Academy. My son knocked him down with one move. Doesn't that mean my son is stronger than him? He is sure to get into the First Military Academy. Why am I not happy? I have to go and have a few drinks!" Nie's father laughed loudly. He was very happy. As for hitting people, which man doesn't have some bloodlust? It's normal to knock down a few people in the arena.

"We have offended Liu Ding. Will there be any problems? Xiaoyan is too reckless," Nie's mother said worriedly.

"So what if he was beaten? If the sky falls, his old man will hold it up for him. At worst, I'll let my old comrades settle it. We're not necessarily afraid of Liu Ding. What's more, the president of the Longyue Conglomerate has already spoken. This matter is a normal competition. They can't find any fault with us. What's there to be afraid of?" Nie's father said loudly. He had also been on the battlefield and seen the world. He had experienced gunfire and would not panic over such a small matter.

Once a soldier, always a soldier. Nie's mother could only remain silent. Although Nie's father was very strict with Nie Yan, and he used to beat and scold him when Nie Yan was naughty, he actually loved Nie Yan very much in his heart.

"Although your two old comrades are both military region commanders, they may not be willing to help!" Nie's mother said. After so long, even if there was friendship, it might have faded.

"We are comrades who have gone through life and death together. That is a life-or-death friendship. If they turn their backs on me, I will still beat them up. Not only me, but Lao Liu and Lao Lin won't agree either!" Nie's father said.

Although Nie's mother was worried, she felt a little relieved when she heard what Nie's father said. She then called Nie Yan and told him not to cause trouble at school. After all, it was a noble school, and anyone you randomly pulled out had a background.

Nie Yan answered two calls in a row and could only smile bitterly. After hearing his father's words, he was also shocked. That guy Liu Rui was actually the son of Liu Ding, the second largest shareholder of the Longyue Conglomerate. It was rare that the guy hid so deeply and didn't show it off. No wonder Xie Yao said in her previous life that Liu Rui's family was very familiar with her family. It turned out that they were all from the Longyue Conglomerate. It seemed that Nie Yan still underestimated his opponent.

That kick was indeed satisfying, but it also brought some trouble.

He must be cautious in the future and not act on impulse.

Since he had caused trouble, he should think about how to deal with it. Nie Yan also had to start building his own power, otherwise he might be eaten by others until there was nothing left. If he could get a place in the First Military Academy, it would be easy. Once he entered the First Military Academy, others would generally not dare to touch him.

Liu Rui had to stay in the hospital for a few days. He shouldn't be able to see Liu Rui in the next few days. Nie Yan took a car to school.

When Nie Yan walked into the classroom, there were only a few people scattered around. Xie Yao was sitting at her desk, not knowing what she was doing. A pink short-sleeved shirt with a white skirt gave people a youthful and beautiful feeling. Her hair was tied into a ponytail without any ornaments. In the morning light by the window, she looked like an angel.

Like being in faith, that dreamlike scene.

This beautiful desk mate was frowning and thinking about something. From the side, her oval face was as white as mutton fat jade, and her eyebrows and eyes were like paintings.

Nie Yan sat down in his seat. Looking at Xie Yao from the side, the beauty was still there. He had some deeper feelings. In two lifetimes, he only dared to glance at Xie Yao secretly in his previous life. In this life, his state of mind was completely different.

"Xie Yao, good morning," Nie Yan said hello.

Xie Yao turned her head, glanced at Nie Yan, and smiled. "Good morning." Looking at Nie Yan, she was a little dazed. Nie Yan in the game and Nie Yan in reality were still somewhat different. She suddenly felt that she had found a way to get along with Nie Yan, approaching Nie Yan with two different identities. What would be his surprised expression when Nie Yan found out that the two were the same person? She suddenly had a little evil thought in her heart.

"It seems like we have a martial arts class today." Seeing that Xie Yao was a little distracted, Nie Yan said.

"Oh, yes, there are still twenty minutes before class," Xie Yao replied.

Nie Yan remembered that Xie Yao was always the most active in every martial arts class. In his previous life, Nie Yan in high school was slightly stronger than Xie Yao. After all, he was a boy, and his brute strength was much greater than that of a girl. However, Nie Yan at that time didn't even dare to look at Xie Yao directly, let alone fight Xie Yao head-on.

Martial arts class was coming soon, and Nie Yan couldn't help but look forward to it, recalling the beautiful and heroic Xie Yao in her martial arts uniform in his previous life.

At this moment, Zhai Hao, Li Rui and others walked into the classroom together. Seeing Nie Yan, they immediately walked up excitedly.

"Hey, brother, I heard about your business. You were really awesome yesterday." Zhai Hao said excitedly. He heard some news about the Ni Ren Tribe (Crazy Guild) and was dumbfounded. He admired Nie Yan very much. He had never seen anyone more awesome than Nie Yan. The guild leader of the Ni Ren Tribe (Crazy Guild) was a legendary figure, and he was actually right in front of him, which made it difficult for him to believe. He even had to pinch himself when he got up in the morning to see if he was dreaming.

Zhai Hao said that he would keep it a secret and did not publicize Nie Yan's identity.

Li Rui and others also greeted Nie Yan one after another, and looked at Xie Yao next to Nie Yan, pulling Zhai Hao.

Zhai Hao understood and said to Nie Yan, "We'll talk later."

These twenty minutes before class were a good time for Nie Yan and Xie Yao to be alone. If they wanted to chat with Nie Yan, they could chat during the martial arts class later.

They returned to their respective seats.

A male classmate next to him leaned over and showed off to Zhai Hao, "Zhai Hao, I just reached level 27 and got a piece of Silver equipment. How about we fight next time we go online?"

"I won't fight you."

"What, are you scared?"

"Bullshit, only grandsons are scared of you."

"Let's bet something."

"Let's bet, then." Zhai Hao was happy. So what if you're level 27? I'll kill you and loosen your muscles.

Hearing the chat from Zhai Hao's side, Nie Yan smiled. In his previous life, he often participated in this kind of PK between classmates, and occasionally he could get something.

Nie Yan turned his head. Xie Yao turned her head and was writing something on the computer. Feeling Nie Yan's gaze, her curved eyelashes flickered, showing the restlessness in her heart.
