As Nie Jin looks into his ring, he was shocked because he had hundrens of millions in his ring, and he had a lot of alchemy stuff, armour that was at least 5 star silver rank or above, he had all sorts of pills and elixirs that helped improve your body and soul cultivation, and some other stuff that he couldn't use right now. He also couldn't forget about his demon spirit, Supreme Shadow of Time and Nature, but deep into his ring was two letters, one for him and the other for his brother, and they were both from Old man Li. He probably already knew the contents of his letter, but he couldn't tell what was written on Nie Li's letter, and why would his grandpa write Nie Li a letter....was he letting him know about them being brothers...or was it something else..... Well I'll just read mine first and see if the old man tells me, and I'll give Nie Li his letter once everyone is gone, as it might look kinda weird if a guy gives another guy a letter.
The group of boys in the back talked all the rest of the class, and soon school ended and some of them went home for the day. Only Nie Li. Lu Piao, Du Ze and Nie Jin stayed behind to talk about the plan to move forward. "So, Nie Li what's the plan, and how are we gonna make some money?" asked Lu Piao. As they walked down the road, there were many merchants selling there goods.
Yo!!!! Look at this!! It's a 5 star bronze rank with a Snow-Wind inscription!!!!" said someone from the crowd. "Yes, this is a 5 star bronze rank AND anyone under Silver rank couldn't hurt you, and you could also defend against a 1 star silver rank without much trouble." said the merchant, trying to entice these young people, as some of them are from big families and can spend a lot on their kids.
"50 thousand demon spirit coins!!" The merchant said while smiling.
"What the hell, so freakin expensive!!!! I couldn't buy this even if I saved 10 years worth of demon spirit coins! replied one of the lookerbyers. "That's why it's better to join a family, as people like us couldn't dream about stuff like this." said another person with a gloom look.
"How are we gonna afford this stuff, let alone all the pills and elixirs" complained Lu Piao
"Don't worry about money" said Nie Li. "For now go buy crossbows and arrows....and don't let them people fool you 10 demon spirit coins for crossbows and 5 demon coins for arrows." quickly said Nie Li as Lu Piao ran off. Du Ze thought this was strange, how could he know the exact cost of them....maybe he's a seasoned hunter or shots them often thought Du Ze.
"And what about us" asked Du Ze, "You should probably go help Lu Piao so that he doesn't forget what to buy or worse get into trouble." said Nie Li. And so Du Ze ran off to catch up with Lu Piao.
"Okay, now that they are gone, I got some question for you" asked Nie Li and looked at Jin. "First thing first, who are you, and why do you have my family name, as I'm positive that I haven't ever seen you..."
Shit did he figure it out already......no that shouldn't be possible as grandpa should have implanted false memories into everybody's mind, so they won't know the different.....So that must mean he still reme,bers his last life, as Old Li sad that time was rewinded and that it focuses on me and Nie Li, so maybe that's it.
"Well, am of the Nie family, but......." Jin says and looks down at the ground trying to makeup an excuse that would fool him. "Well you see is, I sorta have a complicated situation with the Nie Family...Actually my parents do, they were casted out a long time ago, and they were told to never come back ever or they would be killed on sight. But now that my parents both died......." Jin got chocked up, as he fought back tears as he remember his Father's death, (adopted father), "So after they died they said that I could come live with the family, only because my grandfather game them many treasures and also that once I started living here he would have to leave forever....." Jin could barely fight back the tears and hated, as part of this were true, but some was made up as he couldn't tell him everything right now.
"Oh......Uhmmmmmm.....I'm sorry I didn't know that was the case. Do you have anywhere to stay?" asked Nie Li with a sad look, but also curious as he knew that this wasn't the full truth, but he couldn't tell which parts were true, minus the deaths of both parents, as you couldn't fake these emotions, and as someone who has lived a previous life he knows all about losing loved ones.
"Not really, I live up in the montains, but I don't have a house if thats what you mean. I usually sleep in trees, or caves, and sometimes I just sleep under the stars." said Jin "Although, I can move into the clan, I don't know anyone, since I've been on my own for years, since my parents died when I was pretty young. I never knew my mother or real dad, as they died protecting me and my brother......" Shit my tongue slip.....hopefully he doesn't ask about him. "Wait you have a brother? Is he still alive, are y'all together?" asked Nie Li, as he was genuinely concerned, and if possible help reunite them if they weren't together.
"Well, he doesn't know about me, but I know about him from my father....He told me that our mother got seprerated and he couldn't find her after looking for a long while, and even after a 1 of searching he gave up, but he knew that the boy was alive."
"How did he know that the boy is still alive?" asked Nie Li, as he was sorta suspicious. As this kind of thing happens all thing time, and it was the Dark Guild that did this sort of business. "He knows that he is still alive because I'm still alive. Me and my brother....well our souls are linked together, so if I die...." "He dies too" said Nie Li with a shocked expression.
Jin was shocked, as he didn't think that Nie Li would know about this. As he sounded like he knew first hand about this technique. "It's the soul binding technique, and not the fake one or the once most people use on slaves. This one binds two people's souls together, and it only works at birth which is why most people don't use it. As it's a viscious technique, and it shouldn't be used on people let alone babies." said Nie Li angrily.
"And of course there's no way to break it" replied Jin "Except through death, but that means both people die." "Actually, there is one way to break it" said Nie Li after thinking about it from a moment.
"But that would require two more souls, that are untainted by evil thoughts, And you would have to be under the age of 15, AND you have to find the "Creator" of this realm...." said Jin.
"So you already know how to undo it" asked Nie Li.... "Yeah I do, but I would never even consider it as that would be wrong, because which people have untaitned souls...little kids, and I won't waste their live to save mine." said Jin a little upset.
"Oh...Uhmmmmm I do have a letter for you...It's from my grandfathe......" said Jin. Although he didn't want to give it to him without reading it first, he thought it was best to do so now as there wouldn't be a better time to do it.
