Chapter 1 Guild Matters

After dealing with matters in the guild, Nie Yan glanced at the time and realized that 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 matters concerning the company. The Nie family's living conditions were much better than before. With the help of Father and Mother Nie, many relatives and friends had also escaped poverty. They helped Father and Mother Nie run the company. As for Nie Yan's maternal uncle, aunt, paternal aunt, and others, they stayed in Ningjiang. Those people's lives weren't too bad, but they couldn't enjoy the luxurious life they had 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?" Father Nie'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 wouldn't fear even the strongest enemy, but when his father raised his hand, he'd have to run for cover. In fact, he respected and loved his father more than he feared him.

"I heard you severely injured a classmate, and he'll have to stay in the hospital for several days."

"That was a martial arts spar. We 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'd be so useless? He went down with just one kick," Nie Yan muttered. However, he had tricked Liu Rui a bit.

"Still dare to talk back!" Father Nie snorted coldly.

Nie Yan immediately fell silent, not daring to speak. He didn't dare to 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," Father Nie scolded.

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

"No, fortunately, the president of the Longyue Conglomerate stepped forward as a peacemaker. Moreover, he was injured during a spar, so the people on that side didn't have much to say. Be more careful in the future," Father Nie said sternly.

"Yes," Nie Yan could only agree dejectedly.

Nie Yan hung up the call, feeling quite unhappy and helpless. At this moment, Nie Yan thought about many things. In reality, it was impossible to rely on fighting alone. He had to have some foundation of his own. Where should he start? He thought of Wei Kai. That guy Wei Kai had indeed been prominent for a while in his previous life, but he fell because his backing wasn't strong enough. Wei Kai had previously requested to join the Niu Ren Tribe, but Nie Yan and Tang Yao had been keeping him hanging.

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

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

After Father Nie hung up the call, the frost on his face melted away, and the corners of his mouth curved slightly into a smile.

"What's made you so happy that you can't close your mouth?" Mother Nie gently poured him a glass of water.

"The good son you gave birth to. The brat got into a fight on the first day of school and severely injured someone, who will have to stay in the hospital for several days," Father Nie said with a smile.

"You're so happy that he beat someone up." Mother Nie glared at him. He was a bit unreasonable.

"That was in the arena! Whoever gets beaten has to take it without complaint! Like father, like son! That Liu Rui is the son of Liu Ding, the second largest shareholder of the Longyue Conglomerate. It's said that he's already passed the First Military Academy test. My son knocked him down with just one move, doesn't that mean my son is stronger than him? He's definitely getting into the First Military Academy. Why wouldn't I be happy? I have to go have a few drinks!" Father Nie laughed loudly. He was very pleased. As for the beating, what man doesn't have some spirit? Knocking down a few people in the arena is a common occurrence.

"We've offended Liu Ding, will there be any problems? Xiao Yan is too reckless," Mother Nie said worriedly.

"He beat him, so he beat him. If the sky falls, his old man will hold it up for him. At worst, I'll have my old comrades take care of it. We're not necessarily afraid of Liu Ding. Moreover, the president of the Longyue Conglomerate has already spoken, saying that this matter was a normal competition. They can't find any fault with us, so what's there to be afraid of?" Father Nie said loudly. He had been to the battlefield and seen the world. He had experienced gunfire and wouldn't panic over such a small matter.

Once a soldier, always a soldier. Mother Nie was speechless. Although Father Nie was very strict with Nie Yan, and 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!" Mother Nie said. After so long, even if there was friendship, it was probably fading.

"Comrades who have gone through life and death together have a bond that is more precious than life. If they turn their backs on me, I'll still beat them up. Not only me, but Lao Liu and Lao Lin wouldn't agree either!" Father Nie said.

Although Mother Nie was worried, she felt a little relieved when she heard what Father Nie said. She then called Nie Yan, telling him not to cause trouble at school. After all, it was an aristocratic school, and anyone you pulled out would have some 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 Liu Rui was actually the son of Liu Ding, the second largest shareholder of the Longyue Conglomerate. It was rare that the guy hid it so well and didn't show it off. No wonder Xie Yao said in his previous life that Liu Rui's family was very familiar with her family. It turned out they were all from the Longyue Conglomerate. It seemed that Nie Yan had underestimated his opponent.

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

He had to be careful in the future and not act impulsively.

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 until there was nothing left. If he could get a place at the First Military Academy, it would be easy. Once he entered the First Military Academy, others generally wouldn't dare to touch him.

Liu Rui would have 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 was like an angel.

It was like being in a faith, that dreamlike scene.

This beautiful deskmate 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 the same. He had some deeper feelings. In two lifetimes, he only dared to glance at Xie Yao out of the corner of his eye in his previous life. In this life, his state of mind was completely different.

"Xie Yao, good morning," Nie Yan said, greeting her.

Xie Yao turned her head, looked 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 kind of surprised expression would Nie Yan have when he discovered that the two people were the same? She suddenly had a slightly wicked thought in her heart.

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

"Oh, yes, class starts in twenty minutes," Xie Yao replied, coming back to her senses.

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

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

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

"Hey, brother, I've heard about your business. You guys were really awesome yesterday." Zhai Hao said excitedly. He heard some news about the Niu Ren Tribe and was dumbfounded. He admired Nie Yan greatly. He had never seen anyone more awesome than Nie Yan. The guild leader of the Niu Ren Tribe, a legendary figure, 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 had said that he would keep it a secret and didn't publicize Nie Yan's identity.

Li Rui and others also greeted Nie Yan one after another, looked at Xie Yao beside Nie Yan, and tugged at 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 martial arts class later.

They returned to their respective seats.

A male classmate next to him leaned over and bragged to Zhai Hao, "Zhai Hao, I just leveled up to Level 27 and got a Silver-grade equipment. Shall we have a match next time we're online?"

"I'm not fighting you."

"What, are you afraid?"

"Bullshit, only grandsons are afraid of you."

"Let's bet something."

"Bet, then bet." Zhai Hao was happy. So what if you're Level 27? I'll play you to death and loosen your muscles.

Hearing the chat from Zhai Hao's side, Nie Yan smiled. In his previous life, he also 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 on her, her curved eyelashes flickered, showing the restlessness in her heart.
