Chapter 373
The Nie family also has a large villa in the second ring road, and because of their work, most of the Nie family lives in the city.
It was only after Master Nie handed over the company to Nie Chao that he retired, so he returned to the old mansion.
As the New Year was approaching, some of the servants had gone home.
It was now evening and Master Nie was sitting alone in the living room reading the newspaper.
A few cooks were busy in the kitchen, making a snack for Nie Chao.
Master Nie didn’t think it was Nie Chao.
Nie Chao had a key and could open the door himself.
The Nie family is strict, he would never use such a knocking method.
Elder Nie was very surprised.
It wasn’t until after he opened the door that he saw the person lying on the ground.
The middle-aged man’s slap had originally seriously injured Nie Chao.
The three youths had carried him all the way over here without much protection, adding to his injuries.
And to ensure that Nie Chao would not die, the middle-aged man had also left a stream of internal energy inside his body to protect his heart and veins.
Only this internal energy would soon dissipate, and once it did, there was basically no way to return to heaven.
Nie Chao was still the heir of the Nie family, so he couldn’t really die in their hands, and if he was going to die, it would be in the hospital.
Nie Chao collapsed quietly on the steps, his face bloodless, with blood trickling down from the corners of his mouth.
Master Nie was used to seeing a lot of storms, and when he was young, he had been out on the road, what injuries had he not suffered?
When he was young, what injuries had he not suffered? He would be in pain, but he could hold on.
But this was different.
This was his grandson.
Tears, in an instant, came out.
In fact, Nie Chao didn’t know that Elder Nie would sometimes be more partial to him, because the Nie family had Nie Yi to carry the load, and it was good for Nie Chao to live happily.
Master Nie trembled and squatted down, he reached out but didn’t dare to touch: “Brat?”
Nie Chao did not respond.
His breath was like a wisp.
“Old master!” The butler came from the other side of the garden, he had just finished ordering the gardener to do something.
As soon as he was done, he saw this scene, and his whole body instantly shook, like a bolt from the blue: “Old master, the second young master he ……”
Nie Chao, as the heir of the Nie family, had quite a few people beating him to the punch.
There would be people who hired a*sa*sins, sharpshooters and many other hunters specifically to a*sa*sinate him, only that they were all of dangling repute and the Nie family was able to deal with it.
But now, when something like this happened to Nie Yi, they hadn’t even heard a sound.
The butler didn’t know what was going on.
In Imperial City, would someone really dare to lay a deadly hand on the Nie family’s heir?
Master Nie, however, was able to guess.
The only people who could do this silently were ancient martial artists, and they had been practising them for at least twenty years.
The butler panicked and started calling 120, his hands shaking one after another.
None of them knew anything about medicine, and now that Nie Chao was unconscious and barely breathing, they didn’t dare to move.
After calling 120, the butler called Nie Yi with trembling hands, he choked out a sob: “Eldest Young Master, you should come back quickly, something has happened to the second young master ……”

Meanwhile.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Fu Yunshen had just picked up Ying Zidian from the isc training camp.
The second session of isc training had already been completed.
Once the New Year is over, the isc final will be over, and in May, the international final will be officially opened.
In the end, 1,200 people from all over the world will compete in the international final.
After reading the information Zuo Li had sent her, Ying Ziji turned her head and looked at Fu Yunshen sitting on the sofa, looking at her again with his deep peach blossom eyes.
It was as if he was very deeply in love.
Ying Ziji paused: “What are you doing?”
“Nothing.” Fu Yunshen’s eyelashes twitched, slightly converging, “Thinking about how I’m no longer a few years younger.”
He had just read a h*moerotic article.
It was about a two-way crush on campus, and it made him a high school student as well. The article was written in a way that made him a high school student.
The writing was good, and the sense of immersion was strong.
Ying replied perfunctorily, “I haven’t said you’re old lately.”
“Well, of course I can’t be old.” Fu Yunshen raised his eyebrows, “This old back and legs are not good, how can I carry you if you sleep over in the future?”
Sometimes, a single word from someone can slightly tug at the tip of the heart.
I don’t know whether it is unintentional or intentional to be used to saying it.
Ying Ziji didn’t have much of an expression: “Then you’d better stay old.”
“No, little friend -” Fu Yunshen raised his eyebrows, “so heartless?”
Ying Zidian smoothly took the pillow on the bed and threw it over.
It smashed right in the face.
“Alright, no more.” Fu Yunshen chose to surrender, he took the pillow, “Where’s brother, I’m all alone, the Nie family’s New Year’s party, lacking a dance partner, yao yao?”
Ying Ziji glanced at him, slowly, “I’m really sorry, I don’t know how to dance.”
She was tired of watching all those court princes having dances during her time in the royal families of O-continent.
Fu Yunshen leaned back on the sofa with a lazy expression, “It’s alright, anything you don’t know, brother can teach.”
The phone rang at this time, breaking the silence.
Fu Yunshen looked at the phone number and his eyes changed slightly as he picked it up, “Hello.”
He listened to the voice in the receiver, the smile in his peach blossom eyes converging little by little until it froze.
The man’s breath became sullen and cold in this instant, low to the point of being extreme.
His voice, however, was calm, without even a hint of emotion.
But instead, it was even more terrifying, still waters flowing deep.
Finally, Fu Yunshen said, “I know.”
Ying Ziji also sensed that something was wrong, and her phoenix eyes narrowed slightly: “What?”
“Something has happened to Nie Chao.” Fu Yunshen remained calm, he put his jacket back on and said, “He’s in the Imperial Hospital, and his bodyguards are unconscious.”
“There is a residual internal energy in his body that protects him from dying in a short time.”
Hearing these words, Ying Ziji’s expression gave a pause.
Did she give Nie Chao the medicine, or was it seen by an ancient doctor or an ancient martial artist?
If they were ancient doctors and ancient martial artists, they would have been able to detect the special features of that medicine by smelling the fragrance of the medicine.
This medicine, which she had refined with Snow Spirit Ginger and some rare herbs, could give ordinary people the talent to cultivate ancient martial arts, allow ancient martial artists to break through bottlenecks, and allow ancient doctors to make up for their body’s origin.
Only she was the only one who had the prescription for the refining of this medicine, and when she came to Earth last time, she did not give out all the prescriptions, just a small portion.
At that time, Meng Jingxian would ask for this Snow Spirit Chi, indeed because it could help ancient martial artists break through.
It was only that according to the ancient doctor’s prescription, it could not be 100% successful.
That was why she had given Nie Chao that this medicine was important and not to open it in front of outsiders.
Ying Zidian’s eyes went slightly cold.
It was a mistake.
She should have let Nie Chao take it straight away when she gave it to him.
It was only because this medicine had the only side effect of putting a person to sleep upside down for fifteen hours.
“Yaoyao, it’s not your fault.” Fu Yunshen grabbed her hand and his eyes were deep, “The word wistful is something I’ve never agreed with.”
This time Ying Ziyi didn’t break his hand, instead she held it, her voice faint: “Together.”
It wasn’t her fault, but it had started because of her.
She wouldn’t let anything happen to Nie Chao.

Imperial Capital Hospital.
Inside the icu.
The attending physicians and a*sistants and nurses were all busy, their foreheads covered in sweat.
They had never seen such a bizarre injury before.
From the outside, there was no trace of anything, but inside the body, there were many broken bones and internal organs.
What was even more bizarre was that even with all this, the patient still had a breath of air left.
The nurse looked at the electrocardiogram and was anxious: “Doctor, the patient’s vital signs are weak and he has gone into cardiac arrest. ”
The attending doctor immediately ordered, “Get the defibrillator.”
But the defibrillator was not good enough for them to use.
Time pa*sed, and outside the icu, Master Nie sat uncomfortably, walking back and forth.
It took an hour for the lights in the operating room to dim.
The door opened and a doctor came out.
Master Nie was busy greeting him, “How is it?”
“The patient’s bones and internal organs are severely damaged, please ask the family-” the doctor paused before saying the next four words, with great difficulty, “Get ready.”
Master Nie heard this sentence and instantly fainted.
The housekeeper was horrified, “Master!”
At that moment, an icy voice came, “Vacate another ward.”
The butler looked up sharply and saw Nie Yi walking over with condensed eyebrows, and his breath was half relieved: “Young master.”
Nie Yi first gave Master Nie a pill before letting the doctor take him into the ward.
But within a few minutes, after Master Nie woke up, he hurriedly got out of bed again, “Yi’er, I’m going to the Meng family to ask for an ancient doctor, you watch your brother and protect his heart pulse first.”
Nie Yi was silent for a brief moment before speaking slowly, “I’m afraid, the Dream Family won’t help.”
Elder Nie’s body froze, and his face turned white.
Not bad.
Ancient medicine and ancient martial arts were one, and there was indeed a lot of internal strife, but they were very united and consistent when it came to the outside world.
If Nie Chao was injured like this by an ancient martial artist, how could the Dream Family possibly go against an ancient martial family for his sake?
Elder Nie’s body swayed.
Could it be that it was really about to ……
Another voice rang out, cool as snow: “Where is Nie Chao?”
Nie Yi gave a start and turned his head.
The girl had already changed into her sterile surgical gown and put on her gloves.
Her eyebrows were unprecedentedly cold, a coolness that made even Nie Yi feel cold.
Nie Yi’s eyes gradually deepened, “Miss Ying?”
He didn’t say anything to Fu Yunshen about it.
Ying Ziyi nodded slightly, faintly: “I’ll go in, he’ll be fine.”
The doctors in charge of the Imperial Capital Hospital all knew Ying Zidian.
They were all relieved to see that she had come.
The door of the operating room opened and closed.
A few minutes after Ying Zidian went in, Fu Yunshen came up too.
He opened the door: “Which one?”
Nie Yi’s eyes were cold: “The traces were erased.”
There was surveillance at the entrance to the woods, but not inside.
It was late winter, eight o’clock at night, and it was too dark to see.
Once an ancient martial artist’s internal energy was out, they could indeed clear all traces, and even the fallen leaves could be placed back in their original position.
Even if a criminal investigator went to see for himself, he would not be able to find anything.
This is what makes ancient martial artists so powerful.
This is why the ancient martial arts world has a dead rule that ancient martial artists must not interfere in worldly affairs.
Otherwise, the whole world would be in chaos.
Nie Yi projected that the ancient martial artist who had injured Nie Chao was at a cultivation level of twenty years towards the top.
If this cultivation level was in the Ling family, it would be medium at most.
If it were in the Lin family, it would be ordinary.
But in a small family, it would already be at the level of a guard captain.
To find someone would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.
“Erase?” Fu Yunshen smiled abruptly as he faintly, “It’s not that easy.”
He took out his phone and made a call, “Check which clan within the ancient martial arts community went out yesterday, the list of people, not a single one should be left out, check it out within five minutes.”
Master Nie’s face was dull, he kept staring at the door of the operating theatre, completely unable to hear what the people around him were saying.
Another hour pa*sed and the door to the operating theatre opened again.
Ying Ziji came out, looking a little pale.
Fu Yunshen immediately stepped forward and hugged her: “Yoyo?”
Ying Ziyi slowly let out a breath: “I’m fine, I’m a bit weak.”
“Miss Ying.” Master Nie also went up, anxious, “How is Chao’er?”
“Don’t worry, he’s out of danger, he’s fine.” Ying Ziji wiped the sweat from his head, “But he hasn’t woken up yet, it should be a few more days.”
It was also fortunate that Nie Chao had consumed the pill she had refined.
A day’s time was also enough for him to condense a bit of internal energy.
Otherwise, he would indeed have fallen very seriously ill.
Hearing this, Elder Nie’s raised heart finally relaxed as he murmured, “That’s good, that’s good.”
Ying Ziji took off his surgical gown and raised his eyes, “Which one is it?”
Fu Yunshen finished scanning the list and slowly spat out two words, “The Yu family.”
“Really.” Ying Ziyi didn’t feel anything, his voice was warmless, “It can be extinguished.”
Hearing these four words, Elder Nie couldn’t help but be startled, “Miss Ying, you mustn’t.”
There was nothing wrong with Nie Chao, he was planning to take a step back.
One couldn’t involve other people in this as well.
“Grandpa Nie, don’t worry.” Fu Yunshen’s fingers clasped the girl’s shoulders, “If Yoyo says he wants to destroy it, then the Yu family can be gone.”
Chapter 374
Only the head of the family could command the captain of the family escort to personally take action.
The mastermind of this matter was the Yu family head.
Nie Yi knew that Ying Zigui’s medical skills were superior, so he went ahead to the ancient martial world after getting the information.
Master Nie squeezed the handle of his chair and recounted the events of that day, and in a deep voice: “This matter, it’s not unconnected to the Lin family either!”
How could it be so coincidental that Nie Chao had been injured by someone from the Yu Family after Housekeeper Lin had made a visit?
“The Lin family.” Fu Yunshen hadn’t expected this, his peach blossom eyes narrowed lightly, “It’s the Lin family again.”
The Lin family was one of the three great families in the ancient martial arts world, and was head and shoulders above the Ling family, not to mention the Yu family.
Not to mention the likes of the Nie family and the Mu family, even the other two great clans in the Ancient Martial World wouldn’t fight hard against the Lin family.
Especially, the Lin family had produced a Lin Qingjia.
So within the Ancient Martial World, the Lin Family had the best relationship with those Ancient Medical families.
The Lin family was also the most popular, and the remaining two families had to avoid them.
“Let’s go to the Yu family first, then to the Lin family.” Fu Yunshen didn’t smoke, but lit one.
The light of the fire reflected in his light amber pupils, cold and icy.
He said, “Check again, who else is involved in this matter, and don’t let anyone go.”
Fu Yunshen could also guess that the Yu family was after the medicine, or to be precise, Ying Zidian.
The Lin family was cunning enough to not choose to take the initiative, but instead leaked the news to the affiliated families.
Whichever one it was, whether it hurt Nie Chao or was aimed at Ying Zidian, was his bottom line.
Elder Nie shook his head, his expression dishevelled, “But we have no evidence.”
Fu Yunshen smiled and let out a low laugh.
He snuffed out the cigarette he had just lit, and said lightly, “What proof do I need?”
Hearing these words, Elder Nie’s body shook: “You ……”
Not bad.
Within the ancient martial world, strength, was the only evidence.
“How things are done in the ancient martial world, follow the rules of the ancient martial world.” Fu Yun Shen curved his lips, his voice as gentle as ever, “Whoever hurts my brother will have to pay the price.”
There were many fights in the ancient martial world, there were life and death battles every day, every month there were clans being destroyed, and it was normal for people to die.
Sometimes the friction between the great clans was even more brutal than the ancient wars.
It is also because of this environment that most ancient martial artists have developed a ruthless and arrogant nature.
Life was worthless in the eyes of many ancient martial artists.
Master Nie was also glad that Nie Yi had not become crooked after being in the ancient martial arts world for so long.
Off to the side, Ying stood up after she had rested for a few minutes, “Let’s go together.”
“Yaoyao, listen, you’ve just taken off your strength, so stay here.” Fu Yunshen’s eyes sank, “This matter, I will solve it.”
“I don’t fight.” Ying Ziyang was faint, “I’ll bring them medicine.”
Fu Yunshen paused, knowing what she was thinking.
He stroked her head, his eyes gentle, “Then let’s go together.”
**
Ancient Martial World.
Yu Family.
“Clan Master.” The middle-aged man knelt down on one knee, very respectful, “The matter you ordered has been completed, except that during the process of taking the blood, a little accident happened.”
He recounted what had happened when he had missed.
After hearing this, the Yu family head frowned, but quickly stretched out and waved his hand in a dismissive manner, “A small matter, no need to take it to heart, I will have the blood sent for study later.”
The middle-aged man paid his respects again before leaving.
Although he had accidentally crippled Nie Chao, he hadn’t forgotten to take the blood.
If he could research what the ingredients of the pill Nie Chao had taken were, the Yu Clan’s strength would follow suit.
After the middle-aged man left, the Yu family head snorted lightly.
Even if their Yu Clan was far worse than the Lin Clan, it was still a clan with a population of over a hundred, and with the va*sals and guards, it numbered over five hundred.
Apart from some young children and women, the rest of the people were all ancient martial artists.
The highest cultivation level of the Yu family’s elders has been cultivating for eighty years.
The Nie family was from business, a secular family, how could they compete with one Nie Yi alone?
No matter how good Nie Yi’s ancient martial arts talent was, no matter how talented he was, he could not single-handedly break into the Yu family to take revenge.
If Nie Yi arrived, he wouldn’t mind leaving him behind as well.
The Yu family head didn’t take this matter to heart at all, and after drinking a cup of tea, he was ready to go and rest
But at that moment, a courtier came running in in a panic and knelt down on the ground with a thud: “Family Head, something’s wrong, someone’s attacked!”
The Yu family head’s hand shook and his expression changed: “What did you say?”
“It’s Nie Yi!” The retainer’s voice trembled, “Nie Yi he’s calling in!”
Hearing that name, the Yu Family Head calmed down, “I thought it was someone, just him? You get a few escort captains going.”
Nie Yi was twenty-seven years old, and he had cultivated internal energy and twenty years of cultivation since he came to the Ancient Martial World at the age of seven.
But he alone, how could he not beat several escort captains.
“No …… it’s not just him!” The family minister’s teeth were chattering, “Family head, you’d better go out and take a look.”
The Yu family head was impatient, “Even if it’s not just Nie Yi, plus the rest of the Nie family, what can happen?”
Did you really think you could touch the Yu family?
Naive.
But he thought about it and walked out anyway.
**
Outside.
The guards of the Yu family fell to the ground.
The middle-aged man knelt on the ground, his body trembling as he looked at the man in the black trench coat, simply in disbelief.
Nie Yi, when did he even know such a strong ancient martial artist?
But clearly, this man, too, was only in his early twenties!
How high could ancient martial arts cultivation be?
But he had no resistance at all in front of this man, and couldn’t even take a single move.
“Your Excellency …… What does your Excellency mean by this?” The middle-aged man simply could not accept it, he was stern and stern, “Why are you hurting my Yu family guards?!”
Fu Yun Shen’s eyes were faint: “It was you, wasn’t it?”
The middle-aged man’s body stiffened, and he was so stiff, “What proof do you have?”
How long had it been?
Six hours at most.
They had clearly erased all traces, so how had the Nie family tracked them down?
No, the most important thing was, who was this man?
Fu Yunshen smiled, “I don’t need proof.”
These six words made the middle-aged man fall into a cellar of ice.
Just as his nerves were about to collapse, Fu Yunshen released his grip on him.
The middle-aged man was overjoyed and turned around to run.
But at that very moment –
“Ka-ching.”
“Click, click, click, click!”
There was the sound of bones breaking.
In just a second’s time, both legs were broken.
The middle-aged man was shocked, his face was pale, and he was in even more pain.
Internal energy across the air?
Even the Yu Family Elders could not do such a technique.
The middle-aged man’s teeth were chattering: “You ……”
Fu Yunshen ignored it.
He turned around and the icy aura on his body unloaded as he beckoned, “Yao Yao, come.”
Ying carried a small box and walked over.
The middle-aged man was still in extreme pain and was on the verge of pa*sing out from the pain.
His mind was even more dizzy and his ears buzzed until he heard a word.
“You want my medicine?” Ying Zigui half-crouched down and smiled very softly, “Just in time, I brought it, you can take as much as you want.”
The middle-aged man’s face changed instantly, “You, you ……”
Although Ying had disguised herself, she did not disguise herself as an older person.
Ancient doctors were able to preserve their faces, but they were not counter-intuitive, there were always limits.
The middle-aged man thought that an ancient doctor who could refine that one medicine would definitely not be less than a hundred years old.
Ancient doctors of that age, even if they could preserve their face, would at most keep their appearance and voice at twenty-five years old.
But the girl, clearly, was not even over twenty!
What kind of powerful ancient doctor was this?
It was unheard of!
Ying Zidian put on her gloves and she opened the case she carried with her.
It was full of bottles and jars.
She lifted her hand, first picked up a white jade bottle and opened the stopper.
Then she raised her eyes and smiled again, her voice very soft: “How about I feed you?”
The middle-aged man only felt his scalp tingling and almost exploding, “No…… no!”
He didn’t even need to guess to know that what this bottle contained was definitely not something good.
Although ancient doctors were not strong in terms of force, they had many means to make ancient martial artists worse than life and death.
The middle-aged man wanted to turn around and run away, but his leg had just been broken by Fu Yun Shen, and he couldn’t even stand up.
He looked at the girl, all but desperate: “No, I don’t want to eat!”
However, no matter how much he struggled, it was all in vain.
In the middle-aged man’s frightened gaze, Ying Zidian looked indifferent, her pupils as cold as blades.
She used her hand to forcefully break his jaw by breaking the bone with a click.
