“Captain, there’s no need to be so disheartened. As one of the four major aristocratic families in the Independent State, the Nie Family faces tremendous daily workloads and the need to maintain relationships with various external powers. It’s exhausting. In my opinion, Captain, it’s actually a good thing if you don’t inherit the Nie Family.”
The Daoist named Shenxu looked up and chuckled towards Nie Wuming.
Upon hearing Shenxu’s words, Nie Wuming snorted, “Who said I’m disheartened? I’m like a free bird. I wouldn’t want to be tied down.”
A foreign crew member turned to their captain and said with a smile, “Captain, I just learned a saying: ‘Pretend to be rich with a swollen face.’ Does that description suit you?”
Nie Wuming glared fiercely at his foreign crew friend, saying, “Can’t you talk properly? If you can’t, then just keep quiet!”
The foreign crew friend looked puzzled, wondering if they had been tricked again.
At this moment, more and more high-ranking figures from various forces entered the Nie Family, all with smiles on their faces, congratulating the Nie Family’s matriarch and patriarch.
“Tangtang, after your mother inherits, you will become the heir of the Nie Family. You must be obedient and sensible, understand?”
The Nie Family matriarch looked at Tangtang, who had an expressionless face, and softly advised.
Upon hearing this, Tangtang glanced at the Nie Family matriarch, pondered for a moment, and said, “Grandmother, I don’t want to be the heir of the Nie Family.”
“Nonsense, you shouldn’t say such things casually.” The Nie Family patriarch beside them heard this and his expression changed. He frowned and spoke.
Before Tangtang could continue, the previously noisy Nie Family suddenly fell silent.
“Nie Wuyou,” dressed in a long gown and a gentle smile on her face, walked towards the center step by step.
Beside “Nie Wuyou” was Nie Linglong.
“Hahaha, Miss Nie Wuyou, congratulations, congratulations.”
Seeing “Nie Wuyou,” many high-ranking figures congratulated her with smiles.
In response, “Nie Wuyou” nodded to each of them.
“They say Miss Nie Wuyou of the Nie Family is one of the most outstanding descendants in the Independent State. Now, being able to inherit the Nie Family’s legacy is a good thing for the Nie Family and even the entire Independent State.”
An elderly man looked at “Nie Wuyou” and said with a smile as he stood up.
“Thank you all for your presence. I still have a lot to learn despite my abilities. After inheriting the Nie Family, I will need to learn from all of you.”
“Nie Wuyou” said with a smile.
“Miss Nie Wuyou is truly modest.”
“Indeed, with Miss Nie Wuyou leading the Nie Family and with the assistance of Miss Linglong and the eldest young master, I believe the Nie Family will rise to new heights.”
“With your sister’s abilities, managing the Nie Family shouldn’t be a problem.” Nie Linglong said with a soft smile.
With a faint smile at the corner of her mouth, “Nie Wuyou” would be under her control once she inherited the Nie Family.
By then, she would use the Nie Family’s name to gradually dismantle the remaining three major families.
“By the way, Miss Nie Wuyou, have you received any news about your fiancé, Ji Huang?”
At this moment, a middle-aged man in the crowd looked at “Nie Wuyou” and asked.
Upon hearing this, “Nie Wuyou” seemed contemplative. After a moment of silence, she finally said, “I’m Avray saddened by Xiu Ran’s disappearance. We’ve been investigating, and we’ve received information that most of the people who went missing before had significant ties to the Fearless Alliance.”
“Ties to the Fearless Alliance?”
As “Nie Wuyou’s” words fell, everyone present was taken aback.
