Xie Nin "What do you think about disappearance of your sister?"
Ning'er "Are you suspecting Jiang Chen for that?"
Xie Nin "Here no one is an idiot, Jiang family already eliminated their rival family by killing all Bai family members."
Ning'er "So what of it, Jiang Chen is my future husband. Why should he be shy when someone is making plans to kill him."
Ning'er "Also I don't understand what are you trying to achieve here,I have just 12 people under me, also they respect Jiang Chen more than me. Then I have no other use. I am here to rely on Jiang Chen's support."
Xie Nin "I came here for my brother Xie Chen. He took a liking for you."
Ning'er "If I am not wrong, he is already married to the Chen family of Yang Province. Also he has more than three wives."
Xie Nin was silent hearing this.
Xie Nin "You are thinking of too many things, capable men have multiple wives . Xie Chen is very capable. He is one of the four contestants for Xie family patriarch position. He is second best candidate.Also don't forget about the various techniques our family can give to your Shangguan family. You know we are wind attribute specialists too."
Ning'er "I don't care. I don't have to tell others about Jiang Chen's capabilities.He can rival any one of you easily."
Xie Nin "Can you say same about his future? He has but a Mortal grade cultivation technique. His limits are already decided by heavens."
Xie Nin "He may become a Martial soldier and at max a Martial warrior. That would be end of his road. With us earth rank cultivators we have greater chance of becoming Martial General. "
Ning'er just chuckled at this "The real Limit of Mortal rank is Martial King, and earth rank cultivators is Martial emperor. But are you sure we can achieve it, I doubt that. None in the river province have achieved complete mastery over their cultivation technique."
Ning'er "Of the 12 stages of our cultivation technique, how many do you think you can reach."
Ning'er "I am currently at 2nd stage of my cultivation technique, I don't thin you would be any higher than third stage." she said confidently.
Ning'er "Jiang Chen is already at 4th stage of his cultivation technique and will be breaking to 5th stage sooner."
Ning'er "As much if history I know, the highest stage achieved in ones cultivation is recorded as 8th stage for Earth grade cultivator by our Sect lord himself. Jiang Chen will not have hard time breaking to his 9th grade limit of his mortal rank."
Ning'er "Our cultivation grades are wasted upon us." Ning'er behaved very boldly saying this. She was not scared about this people.
How can she care about this people, she argued with her sister itself over this matter. Bing'er is the person she loved the most in this world. She hoped to be with both her sister and Jiang Chen forever. She even dared to propose this to her sister, well she never did. She wanted to ask the same when their plan failed but she didn't get opportunity.
Xie Nin "You are being too prideful. I hope you won't regret your decision , you know right it is our Xie family ruling the River Province."
Ning'er "You can tell that to people who are going to live in River Province. Jiang Chen is only here for temporary visit. He will leave soon."
Xie Nin face was dark hearing this.
Ning'er "Also don't think I don't know of your plans. Is it Xie Ning or Xie Rou? Tell them they can't seduce Jiang Chen, also with sister WuXia in picture are they still dreaming of Jiang Chen's hand."
Xie Nin "You dare brag about your man. Who said WuXia will be Jiang Chen's woman. She is the greatest genius of our River Province, how can a mere mortal grade cultivator take her hand."
Ning'er "You speak truth. How can just a mere cultivator take her hand."
It only took her few minutes to understand what she actually meant. How can a mere cultivator take WuXia's hand. There are only 8 people in the thousand so disciples with fire attribute other than Han family and only 6 alchemists and Jiang Chen is highest ranked alchemist here. No one is close to fourth even third grade human rank alchemist. Weapon makers are even more scarce.
Xie Nin "You will see the consequences for your words. I offered you a good chance. You would have been a concubine of my brother, but you are too confident on your fortune. Shangguan Family will pay price for it."
Ning'er just chuckled "You don't want to offend Jiang Chen right, he already took liking to one of my family members to nurture him. Your Xie family don't want to miss the opportunity. So you better mind your business and I mind mine. I will not mind with your seductions, Jiang Chen sure is ladies man, he like to have beautiful ladies around him. So, if you find trouble with me, well your sisters can give up on their idea. They will not even become maid of Jiang Chen."
Ning'er "Since, I am kind hear ted. I will not tell Jiang Chen what you are trying to do." I don't have to he would have half known it already. Well he knew it already, she remembered the purpose of All the best.
Xie Nin left silently disappointed. Ning'er didn't fell for that.
Xie Nin "Elder Sister, I failed, that Ning'er is too blatant and over bearing."
Xie Ning " That is expected, I heard her relation with Jiang Chen is very close. She even fought with her family for him."
Xie Nin "Not just that. She already know of our plans. She said she don't mind out tricks as long as it didn't involve her. If we try to mess with her, she will make sure you will not even be a maid of Jiang Chen."
Xie Ning "How dare she?"
Xie Nin "She also told me, that you don't have to bother with her, your real competition would be with Xue WuXia."
Xie Ning "Foolish girl, brother Yang is trying to woo her, even though I don't like that bastard. He would not be easy to deal with. "
Xie Ning "Things will be interesting now."
Xie Nin "But Jiang Chen is very tough, trying to challenge him would bring trouble too."
Xie Ning "There are nine of us here, we can leave brother MO,Fen and Ten. They will not involve in any thing. We can't even force them. That is against clan rules. But only they are capable of dealing with Jiang Chen."
Xie Ning "Me, brother Yang and Brother Chen. Everyone have their own plannings. Jiang Chen and WuXia form the crux of it."
Xie Nin "Elder sister, Ning'er also mentioned that Jiang Chen is not interested in River Province at all, he would be leaving sooner. So all our efforts would go to drain."
Xie Ning "Thinking of this, there is no way to tie down Jiang Chen."
Xie Ning "It is too troublesome. If what she said is true we have two options, we should fast track our plans and create a way to tie down Jiang Chen or we should not involve him at all. We should work on second method. This way when Jiang Chen leaves we can take a step ahead."
Xie Nin "What can we do? Most of the planning and strategy involved Jiang Chen and Xue WuXia. We don't have a method for WuXia and Jiang Chen can't be used."
Xie Ning "There is a method, if Jiang Chen becomes enemy of our rivals. It will help us."
Xie Nin "You mean to say, clash between brother Yang and Jiang Chen."
Xie Ning "Yes."
Xie Nin "But, won't brother Yang be careful too. not offending Jiang Chen is the best possible way for him. He is already ahead of us in many terms. For him to become next patriarch all he need to do is not suffer losses."
Xie Ning "That is why it is problematic. Brother Yang is already in safe side, he already told all his men not to get into bad side of Jiang Chen and his people. It is rumored Jiang Chen also told his people not to get into troubles using his name. If they are at fault he will no way get involved in this."
Xie Ning "So, there would be no possible clash there. WuXia could form a clash but again, brother Yang may accept a loss there too. If WuXia is the one trying to get Jiang Chen's favor it is not good for him to oppose both of them."
Xie Ning "How can we make them clash against each other? If we can make them clash, without doubt we can almost certainly say he would be out of the race. With families help he may stay alive but his forces will sure suffer leaving us the way."
Xie Ning "It is challenging."
Xie Nin "What about Jiang Chen's sister? She is the only weak link of Jiang Chen."
Xie Ning " Jiang Chen, have 11 brothers and sisters,including the branch family."
Xie Ning "All of them are geniuses with at least a low mortal rank technique. LingRou is just a branch family member. And of all 11 he brought only her here.What does it say to you."
Xie Nin "I don't understand. She is high earth rank genius. There were only three other like her."
Xie Ning "Do you think Jiang Chen, cant make other to enter the sect. Just sticking with him allowed over hundred people to gain direct entry."
Xie Nin "She is the one he is confident of to make her own mark here."
Xie Ning "Correct, she would be key. But I think Jiang Chen prepared her enough. Even Ha Ling can rival any one of us. We can't underestimate his sister."
Xie Nin "What if we take Jiang Chen's help directly. I mean I heard he is very open about helping others, he will not shy."
Xie Ning "Same option is there for every one."
Xie Ning "Tying down Jiang Chen? Make Jiang Chen and Brother Yang clash?"
Ning'er "You should remove second option." they suddenly heard a voice.
Xie Nin "Why are you here?"
Ning'er "I just wanted to provide little help."
Ning'er "So you are the one who planned against me. I am letting it pass."
Xie Ning "Why did you say to avoid second plan?"
Ning'er "I don't think you are unaware of things happened in River Spring City."
Xie Ning "We know a bit."
Ning'er "All four families had same plan, to kill Jiang Chen and use Jiang Families strength to eliminate our opponent."
Ning'er "In the end only Bai family sticked to that plan. And few from my family."
Ning'er " Because, I intervened my family reduced our losses, you know what happened to Bai family."
Ning'er "Jiang Chen always knew about our plan he just wanted to avoid unnecessary violence. Tried to change our plans from inside. He succeeded mostly."
Xie Ning "So you are saying if we tried he same trick, Jiang Chen would know about it."
Ning'er "I don't know his methods, but he always know his opponents actions. So if you do this you will be at loss."
Xie Ning "Why do you want to help me?"
Ning'er "I don't know. May be, I like your methods. You are cunning enough with your initial plans. You used Xie Chen's name hiding a second layer plan. You remind me of my sister. Well she was too foolish though."
Xie Ning "You want me to be Jiang Chen's follower." she said calmly.
Ning'er "That is one way to speak it. I would prefer being my sister."
Xie Ning was thinking deeply about it.
Xie Ning "I will loose chance to become patriarch here."
Ning'er just chuckled at this. She really don't know Jiang Chen at all.
Ning'er "That is just a suggestion, you don't have to take it seriously. But keep that suggestion in mind. Don't try that method. You will get your opportunities even without doing a thing. Genius's have their own pride. We have to see how long your brother can control his pride by his thinking."
Ning'er left from there immediately and went inside Jiang Chen's courtyard where he was waiting for him.
"Bastard, if you do this again I will kill you. Trying to hook you up with another girl.I am taking this matter to Sister Qingcheng's court." she said as she punched him repeatedly and hugged his arm.
