Red Strings of Connections

Chapter 16 Equal Value Exchange

Wei Ying immediately knew that the older lad is talking to him, so he didn't waste any efforts to hide and time, and just jump out of his hiding spot.

"I can't recognize you nor even your clothes which sect are you from?!"

Wei Ying offers a salutation towards the obviously young masters of Nie Clan.

"My name's Wei Ying, I'm just a humble disciple from Zhuque Sect.

"Zhuque? Ah... right, they are the invited guests today."

"Yes, you're absolutely right Young Master—"

"Nie Mingjue, and this is my younger brother—Nie Huaisang," they introduced, returning the same gesture to Wei Ying. "So? What are you doing here?"

Wei Ying, "It's kind of embarrassing but I am lost."

Nie Huaisang, "Oh I know, I know! I completely understand you! I also gotten lost here many times!"

Nie Mingjue glares at his brother, "It's understandable at Young Master Wei's part, but A-Sang! What's wrong with you? Don't you have sense of direction?"

Nie Huaisang, "But Da-ge it's not easy to memorize every corner of Unclean Realm!"

Wei Ying, "I know what you are talking about! It took me three years before I remembered all the corners of my sect."

"Is your sect that big?"

"It is! Ah! I'm sorry I talk so much!!"

'You didn't at all.' Nie Huaisang and Nie Mingjue thought.

Wei Ying, "Are you practicing?"

Nie Mingjue, "We are. I'm teaching A-Sang how to hold a saber, but he does nothing but complain."

Nie Huaisang, "I've told you it's not for me!"

Wei Ying, "Why not rest for a while? Practicing with tired body and mind won't help on progressing."

Nie Mingjue, "We haven't consumed an hour."

Wei Ying, "Different people, different stamina. No interest; No energy."

Nie Mingjue sighs, agreeing on Wei Ying which makes Nie Huaisang jumps in joy. He runs towards the stairs and sits, taking out a fan.

"Oi! At least carry your practice sword!" Nie Mingjue complaint then sighs before picking up the wooden sword with him. "Sit with us." he said to Wei Ying who nodded.

"You know Young Master Wei my Da-ge is strong and admirable! He held himself proudly, and I'm sure once he inherits the position of being sect leader, he will be really popular among the ladies."

Wei Ying grins, "That's the issue?"

Nie Mingjue, "Wrong A-Sang! I telling you two I'll hold righteous justice within my sect and make sure the Qinghe won't feel fear at all!"

Nie Huaisang whisper, "See my brother is the best." Wei Ying nodded, agreeing.

Nie Mingjue, "That's why you should learn our clan's way of cultivation so you could support me, A-Sang!"

"I would love to Ge! Believe me! But—it just..."

"It will! You're just lazy! If you continue like that your golden core won't be develop!"

"Young Master Wei please help me! I do want my golden core to be develop but it just doesn't—"

"Doesn't what?"

"Doesn't..."

"The Saber Cultivation isn't fit to you?"

Nie Mingjue, "How's that possible?"
