Chapter 2036: Hold your tongue back if you don’t know how to talk
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“Actually, you don’t need to be so depressed, Captain. As one of the four great clans, the Nie family has such a large workload every day and also needs to maintain their relationships with all the external major factions, so you’d be tired to death. I think it’s a good thing you aren’t inheriting the Nie family,” Taoist Devotee said to Nameless Nie with a snicker as he looked up.
Nameless Nie snorted. “Who said I’m depressed? I’m a free bird! I wouldn’t want to be the head even they wanted me to, hmph!”
Brick-moving Foreigner turned to his captain and brightly said, “I just learned a saying, Captain. It’s ‘Puffing oneself up at one’s own cost’. Do you think it’s a fitting description of you, Captain?”
Nameless Nie fiercely glared at Brick-moving Foreigner. “Don’t you freaking know how to talk? Hold your tongue back if you don’t know how to talk!”
Brick-moving Foreigner was dumbfounded. Did he get tricked again?
More and more leaders and important figures were entering the Nie residence, and everyone congratulated Madam Nie and Patriarch Nie with big grins.
“Tangtang, after your mom inherits the role as the head, you will become the heir to the Nie family. You have to behave and act responsibly, do you understand?” Madam Nie softly instructed Tangtang as she looked at the expressionless Tangtang sitting next to her.
Tangtang looked at Madam Nie and considered it for a moment before saying, “Grandma, I don’t want to be the heir to the Nie family.”
“Nonsense. You can’t say these kinds of things,” Patriarch Nie rebuked him with a frown, his expression changing when he heard that.
Before Tangtang could respond, the originally boisterous Nie residence abruptly turned quiet.
“Worriless Nie” was slowly walking to the center of the room in a long dress with a gentle smile hanging on her face.
Next to “Worriless Nie” was Nie Linglong.
“Hahaha, Miss Worriless, congratulations, congratulations.”
Many higher-ups of various factions all congratulated her with a smile.
“Worriless Nie” merely nodded at each of them in response.
“They all say Miss Worriless Nie of the Nie family is considered one of the brightest young stars of the Independent State. Now that she’s inheriting the Nie family, it’s a celebratory matter for the Nie family and even the entire Independent State,” an elderly man merrily said to “Worriless Nie” as he stood up.
“Thank you to all the seniors who came to support me. My abilities are still greatly lacking, so I’ll need to learn from you seniors after inheriting the Nie family,” “Worriless Nie” responded with a smile on her lips.
“You’re too humble, Miss Worriless.”
“Indeed. From now on, with Miss Worriless leading the Nie family, assisted by Miss Linglong and the Eldest Young Master, I believe the Nie family will definitely scale new heights.”
“With your abilities, Elder Sister, it won’t be a problem for you to take over the Nie family,” Nie Linglong also interjected with a light chuckle
Nie Linglong had an aloof smile on her face. After “Worriless Nie” inherited the Nie family, it would be the same as her gaining control.
At that time, she could use the Nie family’s name to disintegrate the remaining three patrician families one by one.
“Oh right, Miss Worriless Is there any news of your fiancé, Emperor Ji, yet?” a middle-aged man inquired from the crowd.
“Worriless Nie” looked pensive and contemplated it for a moment before answering: “I’m greatly saddened by Xiuran’s disappearance, and I’ve been looking into it this whole time. However, the news we obtained was that the disappearances all seem to bear some significant connection to the Fearless Alliance.”
“Connected to the Fearless Alliance?”
A shock swept over the occupants of the room.
