111: Chapter 111 Reencounter with Bunir

After leaving the hall, Nie Ning followed a maid to Ivy's door.

As the maid knocked on the door, Ivy saw Nie Ning return and a look of surprise appeared on her face.

Seeing Ivy open her arms to hug him, Nie Ning acted quickly and pressed his hand against her head, keeping her from getting close.

"What are you doing!"

Ivy swatted Nie Ning's hand away with annoyance, her inner joy turning into dissatisfaction toward him.

"What do you mean, 'what am I doing'? I'm here to see if you've finished copying those cultivation techniques and secret arts."

Nie Ning said, glancing into the room.

He had previously asked Ivy to bring back the techniques and skills obtained from the ruins.

Since he was back, he naturally intended to take those items and give them to Borton.

"It's not that fast. Come back tomorrow."

Ivy gave Nie Ning a huffy glare and slammed the door shut.

Looking at the closed door, Nie Ning felt completely bewildered.

He couldn't understand why this girl wasn't cultivating properly and what nonsense she was thinking about all day.

"Crazy!"

Nie Ning muttered under his breath, then shook his head and turned to leave.

...

After leaving the City Lord's Mansion, Nie Ning decided to get some good rest tonight.

After traveling for several days, the excessive consumption of mana had left him exhausted; he needed some proper relaxation.

Looking at the brightly lit streets, Nie Ning strolled along the way.

"A fight! There's a fight!"

Just as Nie Ning was buying snacks, screams suddenly came from ahead.

Nie Ning looked toward the source of the sound with curiosity, only to see several residents running toward him with terrified expressions.

"It seems I really need to talk to the City Lord. The public security in the city is too poor and affects its image. Constant fighting and brawling aren't good for urban development either."

Seeing this, Nie Ning shook his head slightly and couldn't help but complain in a low voice.

After all, they had already entered the electrical age; it wouldn't do to keep developing with the old mindset.

Especially those underworld-style organizations—eradicating them as soon as possible was the right path.

...

Nie Ning walked against the crowd and soon heard the sound of clashing metal.

Shifting his gaze to a nearby alley, he saw over a dozen men in black surrounding and attacking a man.

When Nie Ning saw the person being surrounded, the corner of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.

The person being surrounded was none other than Lilith's old flame, Bunir.

"Just where did you get all these enemies?"

Nie Ning was a bit speechless.

He had been transmigrated for three years and had killed many people, yet no enemies had come looking for him so far.

So it goes to show, one should do more good deeds. By killing bad people like he did, it was hard to even find an enemy to hold a grudge.

After complaining internally, Nie Ning waved his hand, and a blade of lightning flew out, instantly slicing several men in black in half at the waist.

Seeing their companions fall, the remaining men in black didn't linger to fight and turned to flee.

But at that moment, a large number of vines extended from all directions, firmly binding the men in black in the area.

Only one Great Knight managed to escape by using his sharp blade to cut through the incoming vines.

The Great Knight was very fast; after cutting the vines, he quickly fled toward another alley.

Suddenly, the Great Knight felt a mysterious heat beneath his feet. Looking down, he saw the soil glowing with an orange light.

'Bang!'

After a loud explosion, the Great Knight was blown into the sky by a 'Lava Burst'.

Nie Ning looked up at the sky, first gesturing to measure the distance with his hand, then with electricity swirling in his palm, he slashed a blade of thunder light toward the Great Knight.

The Great Knight reacted quickly; the moment his internal battle qi erupted, he swung his longsword, releasing several sword qi strikes to detonate the Lightning Edge Blade.

Seeing this, Nie Ning curled his lip, pulled a longsword from his spatial ring, and used Shadow Gliding Steps to quickly catch up to the landing Great Knight.

Although he hadn't promoted to Great Knight yet, his terrifying strength had been enhanced by Supernatural Adaptability.

However, Nie Ning's actual combat experience was ultimately inferior to his opponent's, and after a few rounds, he showed signs of being suppressed.

After playing for a while, Nie Ning found the right moment to summon vines and bind one of the Great Knight's legs.

Taking advantage of the moment the Great Knight broke free, a Lightning Edge Blade struck him directly in the chest, sending him flying.

As the Great Knight hit the ground, a deep wound appeared on his chest, and he spat out a mouthful of blood with a look of horror.

Seeing this, Nie Ning waved his hand, and a large number of vines grew around the Great Knight, binding him tightly.

With the entire group of assassins under Nie Ning's control, Bunir limped over to Nie Ning's side.

"Thank you for your help, Lord Wizard."

Bunir bowed to Nie Ning, his face full of gratitude.

Nie Ning kicked the Great Knight unconscious and then looked at the wound-covered Bunir. "Why are these people always looking for trouble with you?"

"Uh, I'm not quite sure."

Hearing this, Bunir's eyes flickered.

Before, he thought this wizard was sent by his family to protect him, but now it seemed that wasn't the case; otherwise, how could he not know why those people were after him?

"In that case, leave Ska City. This place does not welcome someone who brings danger to the city's residents."

Nie Ning looked around at the damaged buildings and spoke.

Thinking carefully, perhaps he should have made Bunir leave a long time ago.

Because according to his observations, there was a high probability that Lilith's danger was related to Bunir, which was not a good thing.

Compared to that bullshit romance, Nie Ning believed life was more important.

Moreover, since Great Knights were showing up now, who knew if even more powerful people would come later.

Bunir was stunned for a moment, seemingly not expecting Nie Ning to say such a thing.

Could the other party be the Guardian Wizard here?

But wasn't the Guardian Wizard a woman?

After a long silence, Bunir bowed to Nie Ning. "I understand. I will leave this place."

Hearing this, Nie Ning gave Bunir a deep look.

Even now, he refused to say who those assassins were. It seemed making Bunir leave was indeed the right choice.

Nie Ning didn't say anything more and turned to leave the area.

No matter what, Lilith must not be plunged into danger.

As for their love story, it could wait until Bunir resolved his troubles.

...

After returning to Hervais Manor, Nie Ning went to check on Lilith.

Of course, he only used his Spiritual Power to sense her. After all, peeking at a woman sleeping was not something a decent person would do.

Actually, the Human-Faced Balloon was right here; if anything happened, the Human-Faced Balloon would take action.

Meeting Bunir today had made him a bit worried, so he wanted to come over and check the situation to avoid any oversights.

Seeing that Lilith was still there, Nie Ning prepared to return to his room.

But on his way back, Nie Ning saw a patch of moonlight scattered across the training field.

Nie Ning raised an eyebrow slightly.

"Norma?"

After a bit of thought, Nie Ning tiptoed over, wanting to see if it was Norma.

But just as he poked his head over the wall, a longsword was pressed against Nie Ning's throat.

It gave Nie Ning such a jolt that he almost fell off the wall.
