NOVPUB"It’s getting late, you should head to sleep!" Chen Nan said with a smile, then took his phone back to the bedroom and pressed the answer key.
After the call connected, the respectful voice of Zhou Long came through, "Mr. Chen, I have already clarified Nie Yunyan’s background."
Chen Nan: "Go ahead."
Zhou Long respectfully said, "Nie Yunyan’s husband is named Zhang Lei, and they have a son named Zhang Wei, who graduated from university last year and is currently looking for a job."
"Two years ago, Nie Yunyan’s family came into a sudden fortune amounting to 1.2 million."
"I found out through my inquiries."
"This 1.2 million was the death subsidy for Nie Yunyan’s brother and sister-in-law."
"Both died in a car accident, and the money was compensation from the driver’s insurance company, but it is unknown why it ended up in the couple’s hands."
"That same year."
"Old Master Nie Zhenbin fell ill and was hospitalized due to the stress of outliving his children."
"Two months later."
"Nie Xiaoyu, your friend’s daughter, took on the burden of Old Master Nie’s medical expenses."
"It was also around that time."
"That the living conditions at Nie Yunyan’s home had once again improved."
"According to my investigation, Nie Yunyan has been squeezing over ten thousand yuan a month from your classmate."
"She even used that money to buy her son a second-hand BMW 5 Series worth over two hundred thousand."
"As for that 1.2 million in compensation, she used it to buy her son Zhang Wei an apartment."
Chen Nan, suppressing the anger in his heart, said, "I understand, thank you!"
Zhou Long politely said, "Alright then, just command me anytime if there’s anything else."
Chen Nan grunted and hung up the phone, his anger turning into a strong murderous intent, because when he first met Nie Xiaoyu, he had asked her if the driver responsible for her parents’ death had offered any compensation.
But Nie Xiaoyu said that the driver hadn’t purchased any commercial insurance and couldn’t provide any compensation. Moreover, the driver had declared that he had no money but would willingly go to prison instead.
Therefore.
The Nie Family could only accept their misfortune.
It turned out.
Nie Xiaoyu had been deceived by Nie Yunyan.
Nie Yunyan had received the compensation long ago, but she had withheld it.
"Nie Yunyan, your entire family deserves to die, to go to hell!"
Chen Nan was trembling with rage, and the evil of human nature was vividly illustrated by Nie Yunyan, rendering it horrifying!
Phew!
He took a deep breath, forcibly calming himself, and then sat cross-legged on the bed, waiting for the early hours of the morning.
In the blink of an eye, it was midnight.
This was the time when yin and yang shifted during the day and when the yin energy was at its richest.
Chen Nan took out a strand of Old Master Nie Zhenbin’s hair, placed it in front of him, and his expression became unprecedentedly solemn.
"I don’t even know if this method will allow me to enter Nie Yunyan’s dreams."
Chen Nan had spent two years in the mountains, not only reading many ancient texts but even learning some magical spells, such as the art of dream entry.
To enter someone else’s dreams, one needed the hair of a close relative as a medium.
After all, blood ties linked them.
However.
He had only learned the technique of entering dreams but had never tried it before.
When he left the mountains,
The old man had warned him not to attempt to enter someone else’s dreams until he had reached the Qi Refinement Realm, as it could endanger the soul and lead to irreversible consequences.
Chen Nan was aware that sneaking into Nie Yunyan’s dreams at his current level was highly risky.
But he had no choice.
He couldn’t bear to let Nie Xiaoyu continue to be deceived by her sinister and malicious aunt.
"Let’s begin!"
Chen Nan took a deep breath, and his hands continuously formed obscure and intricate seals, a faint glow appearing at the tips of his fingers.
That was the True Qi within his body.
"Go!"
Accompanied by his light shout, the phosphorescence at his fingertips flew into the hair of Nie Zhenbin in front of him.
In an instant.
Nie Zhenbin’s hair floated in front of Chen Nan, bursting into a faint blood light. Chen Nan’s gaze intensified as spiritual power surged into it.
After the hair lightly landed on the bed, Chen Nan slowly closed his eyes.

Meanwhile.
In an upscale residential area.
Nie Yunyan, deep in sleep, displayed a pained expression on her face; she dreamed of her already deceased father, thin as a skeleton, his eyes dim and lifeless. n𝚘vp𝚞𝚋.com
"Yan!"
"I want to go home!"
"Why won’t you let me come home?"
"Why do you make me stay in the cold morgue?"
The old man’s face twisted fiercely, "Xiaoyu is your niece, after all, you share the same bloodline."
"But why do you treat her this way?"
"Isn’t the compensation of one million two hundred thousand enough for you?"
"Doesn’t your conscience hurt at all?"
As the saying goes, one who has not done anything guilty is not afraid of ghosts knocking at his door.
Dreaming of her father saying such words, Nie Yunyan instantly felt a chilly sensation down her spine because she had not expected her father to know these things.
So much so that she woke up from the dream abruptly, her complexion as pale as wax, covered in a fine sheen of sweat.
At the moment Nie Yunyan awakened from the dream, Chen Nan’s expression trembled fiercely, a trickle of fresh blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.
A strong sense of exhaustion swept over him.
After all, he had constructed a dream for Nie Yunyan to enter, and her sudden awakening meant that he had paid a price to some extent.
Fortunately.
It was only physical weakness; his spirit was not harmed.
"I wonder if this dream will cause Nie Yunyan to feel terrified."
"If not, tomorrow night in the dream, I will just kill her, let her keep company with Old Master Nie in the underworld!" A hint of murderous intent flashed in Chen Nan’s eyes.
Subsequently, Chen Nan lay flat facing the sky, silently reciting the Scripture of the Hidden Talisman, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and his weakened body gradually recovered as time passed.
"Chen Nan, time to get up and eat, classes are waiting!"
Hearing Nie Xiaoyu’s gentle wakeup call, Chen Nan finally ended his cultivation, his spirits lifted, his complexion rosy.
"Coming."
He responded, got dressed in his long robe, and came outside.
Today’s breakfast was homemade sandwiches, boiled eggs, and milk.
Especially light and healthy, but also ensuring the daily required nutrients.
"You start first, I’ll be right there after washing up," Chen Nan said with a smile, then entered the bathroom.
However.
When he returned to the dining room after washing up, he found that Nie Xiaoyu, who had been relaxed and cheerful, was now in tears, appearing especially sad and helpless.
Chen Nan asked with concern, "What happened?"
Nie Xiaoyu choked up, "Grandpa... he passed away last night!" she said, bursting into tears in Chen Nan’s arms.
Chen Nan gently comforted her, "Old Master lived well into his eighties, he had a good, long life. Try to look on the bright side and don’t be too sad."
He had always been trying his best, meticulously protecting Nie Xiaoyu, wanting to shield her from any harm.
But the pain and injury caused by the passing of a loved one could not be avoided on her behalf.
However.
People do grow through pain and setbacks, don’t they?
