Master Cheng got up at seven in the morning for the 10 a.m. exhibition.
Master Cheng did not even have time to eat breakfast. He quickly brought a group from the Ninth Branch to do a final check.
â¦
8:30 a.m.
Nie Qixing was also ready to set off.
Continent M was the reclusive familiesâ territory. He could enjoy preferential treatment, different from Master Cheng and the others. For example, he did not stay in a hotel that all the participants had to stay in because of his health. Instead, he stayed in a private sanatorium.
Although it was said to be a private sanatorium, Nie Qingru had reserved all the rooms and the sanatorium served him alone.
His teammates saw this unfair treatment but were powerless to criticize.
âYoung Master Qi.â Zhou Zheng had been called over by Nie Qingru from Country M to accompany him.
âShoot.â
In a wheelchair, Nie Qixingâs pale face was still covered by an eye mask. The black eye mask seemed to cut his face into two, making him look extremely sinister.
Zhou Zheng had been careful with him for the past two days, afraid of agitating his sensitive nerves. He only dared to whisper into his ear, âIâve arranged for her to be near the sanatorium. You can see her anytime you want.â
Nie Qixing had secretly kept a woman in Country M behind Nie Qingru and Shadowâs back. Only Zhou Zheng knew about this.
This time, Nie Qixing was injured and had to stay in Country M to recuperate. Zhou Zheng was smart and naturally knew what he had to do.
As expected, Nie Qixingâs expression softened. He looked at him approvingly. âWhy didnât I know you were so smart before?â
Zhou Zheng did not dare to claim credit. He smiled apologetically and said, âI just wanted Young Master Qi to be happy. I didnât think too much about it.â
âOkay,â Nie Qixing replied as if he had accepted his kindness. Then, he suddenly asked, âIs Mr. Auburn still unwilling to accept the gift?â
About this serious matter, Zhou Zheng did not dare to smile cheekily. He rubbed his face with a headache. âIâve tried to send all kinds of gifts these two days, but Mr. Auburnâs assistant stopped me every time. I think heâs determined not to accept any gift⦠Young Master Qi, why donât we forget about it?â
âThis old thing!â Nie Qixingâs eyes spewed flames as he gripped the armrest of the wheelchair with all his might. âIâve also contacted him many times. Heh! He really doesnât give me face. He doesnât even answer my calls.â
In fact, when Nie Qingru brought him to meet this legendary figure, the other partyâs attitude towards him had been indifferent.
Although he had given Nie Qixing his contact number out of respect, his messages and calls were all like stones thrown into the sea.
Nie Qixing had no choice but to instruct Zhou Zheng to send him gifts, but that old man still refused to be persuaded!
This made him very angry.
After all, this old thing should know who his backer was, but he still treated him with this attitude.
Nie Qixing couldnât help but think that the other party looked down on his current status as a cripple!
Crippledâ¦
As soon as he remembered that he could not even walk normally, the blood vessels on his neck bulged, and his eyes became ferocious and terrifying.
Zhou Zheng was secretly shocked and quickly tried to smooth things over. âYoung Master Qi, the weapons exhibition is coming soon anyway. Itâs too late for us to see him now. Why donât we wait until after the exhibition?â
Nie Qixingâs face was dark and he didnât say anything, but his heart was in turmoil.
In the past, he might not have cared about this.
But this time was different.
Qiao Nian was like a bug.
He was worried an accident would happen at the weapons exhibition.
