6 Disowned

If he wanted to have the Sacred family to be disdained by all the citizens in Glory City, then he will need to reveal the true nature of this hypocratic family, first!

"Page thirty, sixth diagram?" The commoner student murmured. After being guided, he found the Lightning Fire inscription pattern.

"Ya!"

The crowd of students let out a sound of surprise. The Lightning Fire Inscription Pattern consisted of two-parts. with one part looking exactly like the Scarlet Sunburst inscription pattern. The Scarlet Sunburst inscription pattern was much more simple compared to the Lightning Fire inscription pattern, which was the same as cutting out half of it.

Nie Li is actually correct!

Shen Xiu clenched her fist tightly, her fingers turned white.

"So what if the first generation house master of my Sacred family took it from the Book of Divine Lightning Fire?" Shen Xiu coldly replied.

Nie Li laughed, "Teacher Shen Xiu, looks like you're not familiar with the Demon Spiritist code of conduct. Do you want me to explain it to you? The Demon Spiritist code of conduct has been around for three thousands years. Almost every demon spiritist follows the code of conduct. Demon Spiritist code of conduct article 161: taking inscription patterns or copying inscription patterns from other demon spiritists must indicate their source and cannot claim them to be self-created. This is the ethics of Demon Spiritists!"

"You….you..." Shen Xiu trembled from the anger. Nie Li's words directly hit on the weak spot. He directly said that Sacred family did not follow the Demon Spiritist's ethics, but even so, she couldn't refute Nie Li's statement.

"If they were learning from the Lightning Flame inscription patterns in order to create their own inscription pattern, then it's fine. However, the Sacred family's first generation house master directly took half of it and claimed it to be his own. Isn't it a little too….. absurd? Could the first generation house master of the Sacred family have some unspeakable difficulties?" Nie Li blinked his eyes aws he talked innocently.

Nie Li's sharp words were directed at the Sacred family's weak spot, and still pretended to look innocent. This caused Shen Xiu to want to kill someone.

The students all whispered their discussions.

"So the first generation house master of Sacred family is such a person."

"It's said that, although the first house master of the Sacred family was only a gold rank demon spiritist, in the studies of inscription patterns, he was a great master who self-created several Sacred Flame inscription patterns. Has the Sacred family always been the torch bearers of the Sacred Flame Inscriptions?"

"Never thought that the Scarlet Sunburst is actually copied from an ancient book."

"I looked at the Snow Wind inscription pattern's record. The inscriptions inside has been reproduced or taken from ancient books but they always indicated their source. They never claimed it to be self-created."

"This is the ethics of Demon Spiritists. Every noble demon spiritist would do the same!"

A group of students began to wondered, could the great master of inscription patterns in their hearts be nothing more than someone who's fishing for compliments?

Listening to the discussions of the students, Shen Yue's placed down the book that he was holding.

With a calm face, he stood up from his seat and said, "Nie Li, my Sacred family has been passed down for three hundred years. This Scarlet Sunburst is written in the first house master's notes. Originally, it was not publicly announced. We younger generations found it when we were arranging the first house master's notes. So we thought that it was created by him. We are one of the three major families in Glory City although we can't really justify this by ignorance and this will likely be a huge scandal and will become a demerit for us but we are still part of Glory City and will do our best to wash our hands out of this bad reputation."

Nie Li looked at Shen Yue.

'He is indeed my brother, he can already give a suitable explanation. Although claiming for the wrongdoings of the family he was still able to salvage the situation, just like we planned.'

"Student Shen Yue sure is one of a kind, although he and teacher Shen Xiu is in the same family they are still worlds apart." As Nie Li was going with the flow and assisting his best friend Shen Yue looked at Shen Xiu and said. "Admitting our mistakes are the first step for redemption and if you can't even admit your mistake like young master Shen Yue here, then do you think you're worthy of being called as one of the Great Families of Glory City? ."

Nie Li put it this way, if Sacred family won't admit their wrong doing and were to go after him or Shen Yue, wouldn't that indicate that the Sacred family is not worth of being called as one of the three Great Families?

Seeing her nephew was siding with an outsider instead of herself ,Shen Xiu were angered to the point they almost vomited blood.

Ye Ziyun couldn't help but to look at Nie Li and Shen Yue again, never did she think that Nie Li is so daring to actually offend the Sacred family, even more so to Shen Yue being able to criticize one of the three major families and he was one of the three major family in Glory City. Recently, Nie Li's actions made her unable to ignore his existence, as for Shen Yue's actions? She was even thinking that he was a different person. Curiosity rose from Ye Ziyun's heart, what happened between this two to be so different from their selves just a few weeks ago.?

As for Xiao Ning'er, hearing how Nie Li uses his sharp words to attack the weak spot of Sacred family, she couldn't help but to feel happy. Her family has always been wanting to marry her off to the Sacred family, but in her heart she is conflicted. From the start her impression towards the Sacred family hasn't been good. Hearing how Nie Li subdued Shen Xiu with his words to the point that she is speechless all with the help of someone from the same family as Shen Xiu, she couldn't help laughing. At the same time her heart is deeply filled with adoration for Nie Li and curious for the transformation of Shen Yue. How profound must one's knowledge need to be in order to tell the source of Scarlet Sunburst inscription pattern with just a glance and Shen Yue to be able to locate is just as Nie Lie said so in that thick book? So while these people are busy wasting their time, Nie Li and Shen Yue has been reading books all along?

Shen Xiu looked at Nie Li and Shen Yue with enmity. Her hatred for Nie Li and Shen Yue has reached the limit, coldly saying, "Today's matters, I will remember it! And as for you, we will talk about this when we get home." Shen Xiu is a vindictive person, and, as Nie Li's teacher, she naturally had a lot of ways to cause trouble for Nie Li, as being Shen Yue's aunt it'll be more so for Shen Yue.

Heh heh, Nie Li and Shen Yue sneered incessantly. As a teacher, she actually threatened a student and her Nephew in her class, so shameless! Even if Sacred family doesn't look to trouble him, they will still take initiative to trouble the Sacred family!

This is still the first battle, Nie Li still has a lot of tactics to deploy. However, he didn't want to cause more trouble for his brother until they are strong enough, although they were already 3-star bronze demons spiritualists, they still haven't integrated with a demon spirit yet and they can only summon one at the moment and it'll be more trouble some. They looked at each other and clearly understands this will be the start, of the plan that they have been brewing since they arrive as Nie Lie and Shen Yue.

After that, Shen Xiu didn't have the mood to continue the lecture, and hastily ended the lesson.

The things that happened in the lesson spread quickly among the students, passing from one to another. The usually lofty Sacred family, no matter how much they try to cover it, this kind of action violates the demon spiritist's code of conduct and thus would be disdained by all demon spiritist. Sacred family can only see Nie Li as the thorn in their side, but can't do anything to Nie Li, when the family head heard of what Shen Yue did, He beat him up and disowned him and threw him on the streets. On the contrary, if anything were to happen to Nie Li and Shen Yue, everyone would suspect the Sacred family. Such a blatant action, even the Sacred family couldn't dare do it, after all Sacred family couldn't hide the truth from the masses.

After this incident, Sacred family's prestige was greatly affected. It's said that the house master of the Sacred family tried to visit Ye Ziyun's father, the city lord of Glory City, but was rejected.

Shen Yue went to where Nie Lie and stayed there for the moment, having beaten that even a 1-star bronze rank will be crippled for the next few months, Shen Yue having a body of a 3-star bronze rank and the help of Nie Lie's knowledge from his host's previous life, they were able to heal Shen Yue back after 2 days of resting.
