Chapter 1461 - 1308: My Younger Brother Is the Villain 5
Pei Ling watched as Nie Shuangshuang led Feng Feiyu to a seat, letting Feng Feiyu stand beside her, and showed a gentle smile: "Congratulations to Master Nie for acquiring a fine disciple."Nie Shuangshuang’s countenance was cold, her voice indifferent and unreadable in joy or anger, she said faintly: "He is good."
Pei Ling was somewhat surprised, he had thought Nie Shuangshuang would not truly like any disciple she chose.
Although it was unexpected that Nie Shuangshuang chose Feng Feiyu as her direct disciple, Pei Ling merely thought it was Nie Jinglin commanding Nie Shuangshuang to take on a direct disciple without choice.
Pei Ling did not expect Nie Shuangshuang to say this disciple is good, seemingly willing to accept him as her disciple, which made Pei Ling take a closer look at Feng Feiyu.
Thin and small, though possessing good qualifications, nothing extraordinarily innate, his head bowed with a timid demeanor, nothing particularly outstanding.
How could someone like him earn the favor of the typically indifferent Master Nie? Pei Ling was puzzled.
The apprentice-selection event at Dianfeng Hall continued, while the youth waiting to be chosen by masters remained anxious, awaiting their destinies.
Witnessing Feng Feiyu being chosen first, the hearts of these young ones were filled with mixed emotions, surely Nie Shuangshuang was feared and becoming her disciple could mean hardship.
However, that was irrelevant, Nie Shuangshuang was among the rare Great Cultivators at the Soul Emergence stage in the Heavenly Mechanism Sect; becoming her disciple itself was a great fortune.
Moreover, being a direct disciple, their fear of Nie Shuangshuang didn’t hinder their hope to be part of her sect, as fear was nothing compared to the prospects ahead.
Feng Feiyu could feel several covert, envious gazes upon him, he kept his head down, silent, but his steps unconsciously moved closer to Nie Shuangshuang.
Nie Shuangshuang was alerted by Feng Feiyu’s movement, turned back in curiosity, looked at Feng Feiyu close to her, pondered, considering he might be tired.
At this time, Feng Feiyu should have just abandoned his Evil Cultivation; abolishing cultivation greatly harmed his body.
Moreover, Feng Feiyu had never experienced a good day under that Evil Cultivator, his body was already depleted, abandoning his cultivation added to his weakness, leading directly to the Heavenly Mechanism Sect’s entrance assessment.
The entrance assessment at the Heavenly Mechanism Sect was grueling, with a ninety percent elimination rate, containing numerous trials, none of which were easily overcome.
Even a healthy individual passing these trials would come out half-dead, much less Feng Feiyu in his extremely weakened state, he must be holding on by sheer willpower.
Thinking thus, Nie Shuangshuang directly reached out and held Feng Feiyu’s hand, startling Feng Feiyu, his arm reflexively shook, trying to pull his hand away.
Feng Feiyu pulled his arm back strongly, but couldn’t move; tried harder but still couldn’t pull back, Nie Shuangshuang’s cold voice sounded in his ear: "Don’t move."
Feng Feiyu’s body stiffened, remembering Nie Shuangshuang was his master, he resisted, slowly relaxed his body, no longer forcefully withdrawing his hand.
Soon, Feng Feiyu felt a warm flow from his hand connected with Nie Shuangshuang’s, entering his body, gently circulating through his meridians.
This warm flow was Nie Shuangshuang’s Spiritual Energy; once inside Feng Feiyu’s body, Feng Feiyu felt instantaneous relief from the endless dry pain in his meridians due to abolishing his cultivation.
After channeling Spiritual Energy into Feng Feiyu’s body, Nie Shuangshuang discovered Feng Feiyu’s physical condition was truly lamentable, not just bad, but very bad.
Meridians were withered, Spiritual Energy was nonexistent, when abandoning cultivation, Feng Feiyu harmed himself too severely without proper method, even the Inner Sea of the Elixir Field was damaged.
It was puzzling how with such a frail body in his past life, Feng Feiyu was able to advance his cultivation so rapidly before being recognized by Nie Jinglin and Nie Shuangshuang.
Nie Shuangshuang rotated her Spiritual Power through Feng Feiyu’s meridians a couple of times then withdrew, not because she was miserly with Spiritual Energy, but Feng Feiyu’s meridians were too weak to withstand much of it.
The Spiritual Energy she infused, no matter how gentle, was not Feng Feiyu’s own cultivated energy, with the other’s fragile meridians, leaving more had no benefit.
With Nie Shuangshuang’s Spiritual Energy, Feng Feiyu felt much lighter, yet Nie Shuangshuang’s brows furrowed slightly, feeling irritable, Feng Feiyu’s condition was poor, yet she couldn’t take him away prematurely.
If the selection ceremony was hosted by her father, Nie Jinglin, she could directly withdraw, if Nie Shuangshuang was only the Hall Master and not Sect Leader Nie Jinglin’s daughter, she could also leave.
But unfortunately, today’s ceremony was hosted by Pei Ling as the Vice Sect Leader, her father’s deputy, if Nie Shuangshuang retired early now, it would show disrespect to Pei Ling and undermine his authority.
So despite her inner agitation, Nie Shuangshuang had to sit expressionless, waiting for the ceremony to conclude.
Thankfully, the even more exhausting apprenticeship ceremony wasn’t held back-to-back with the selection ceremony, preventing more strain.
Finally, enduring until the disciple selection activity was over, Shuangshuang immediately led Feng Feiyu onto the Flying Artifact, heading straight for Tianjing Peak where the Criminal Law Hall was located.
Tianjing Peak differed from other peaks of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, a sect famous for its relaxed atmosphere, once critiqued as a ’free-range’ sect by the most self-disciplined disciples of Feihua Valley.
But Tianjing Peak where Nie Shuangshuang resided was the most solemn place in the sect, with people coming and going quietly, all with serious expressions.
Nie Shuangshuang herself was indifferent to the condition of personal residence, so only a grand, black-and-white Law Enforcement Hall existed on Tianjing Peak, without other buildings.
The Law Enforcement Hall was extensive, with many rooms divided into confinement, punishment, cells, and residence sections, all accommodation was for disciples serving the Law Enforcement Hall.
Nie Shuangshuang’s dwelling was behind the main hall, a separate small courtyard, not large, simply arranged.
Originally, Nie Shuangshuang had no particular requirements for living conditions, just a place to rest, clean and tidy, but now she had to care for a sixteen-year-old child, making it a bit cramped.
Nie Shuangshuang planned to find an opportunity to buy a High-level Personal Cave Heaven from the Treasure Pavilion, portable, so even when taking Feng Feiyu out for practice, she wouldn’t worry about accommodation.
Now, Nie Shuangshuang arranged for Feng Feiyu to stay next to her residence, a place she had hurriedly prepared today, her rebirth left her with little time to arrange it all thoroughly.
