446: Chapter 446 Through Evaluation
A look of surprise appeared on Nie Ning's face.
Rank six!
It really is rank six!
Although he had sensed Yirta's uniqueness before, powerful wizards have very high control over their own energy.
If they were determined to hide it, it would be difficult for someone of his lower level to see through them.
Just like the now-useless Malice Perception.
Because the Spiritual Power of high-tier professionals is so condensed, there is almost no leakage, causing Malice Perception to gradually lose its effectiveness.
The student was stronger than the teacher; Yirta's talent was evident.
"Hello. I didn't bring any meeting gift, so how about..."
Nie Ning looked left and right, then pulled Xiao Guang over. "How about I give you this humanoid exotic beast?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Nie Ning's arm was bitten by Xiao Guang.
"Just kidding, let go, let go!"
Nie Ning forcefully pulled out his bleeding arm, sighing in his heart that this smelly girl's teeth were as sharp as ever.
But quickly, Xiao Guang's face turned pale.
Seeing this, Nie Ning quickly took out two bottles of water for Xiao Guang to rinse her mouth.
Because of his trip to Yishi Mansion, the Power of Corruption in his body had surged. A normal living being taking a bite of him would probably feel worse than eating feces.
Yirta looked at the comical Nie Ning with slight disgust, completely unable to understand why Amivika would choose such a person.
In comparison, it made Mansion Master Helian seem even better.
"Let's just get the test done quickly, don't waste too much time."
Amivika stood up, took out a handkerchief, and helped wipe the blood from the corner of Xiao Guang's mouth as she spoke.
Compared to Nie Ning, she was even more eager to leave this place quickly.
After all, she had heard that Nie Ning was going to join one of those top-tier major sects.
It wasn't that she hadn't wanted to before, but the journey was simply too far. Just thinking about the travel time, which easily took half a year, made her not want to go.
Now that they were being led by a suspected rank-nine powerhouse, even if the other party was a member of the church, it didn't stop her from hitching a ride.
"Then you guys should go out first."
Hearing this, Yirta also wanted to chase these people away as quickly as possible, and immediately began preparing to perform a mental evaluation test on Nie Ning.
Nie Ning was helpless about this.
But since Amivika said it was fine, in order to stay here for a few days, he could only stay behind to undergo the evaluation test.
...
As time slowly passed, two hours quickly went by.
The door opened, and Nie Ning walked out looking completely drained.
"How are you?"
Amivika stepped forward to support Nie Ning.
"I'm fine, great."
Nie Ning said through gritted teeth.
He highly suspected that the girl was taking revenge on him because of Amivika's divorce!
Out of over a dozen machines in the room, more than half were actually broken, causing all sorts of constant trouble during the test and even exposing him to a wave of mental energy shock.
His mental state was already poor, and now he was experiencing severe mental disarray.
If his resistance to the Power of Corruption hadn't been so high, this wave might have finished him off.
Just then, Yirta walked out of the room. "You passed the mental evaluation. It will be displayed on your information plate. You can leave now."
Amivika checked Nie Ning's physical condition.
She wanted to scold Yirta, but thinking of the situation at Yishi Mansion, she ultimately couldn't bring herself to do it.
After all, Yishi Mansion hadn't just lost its headquarters; most of the people Yirta used to know had also died. That was already punishment enough.
"I don't know when we'll meet again after this. Take care."
Amivika said, and then led Nie Ning, Xiao Guang, and the others out of the testing department.
Leaving only Yirta standing in place, her flickering eyes betraying unknown thoughts.
...
Just as they left the Liuguang City Research Institute, a sturdy figure blocked their path.
"What are you doing?"
Nie Ning looked at the armed puppet with some confusion and asked.
"Although there is no issue with your mental evaluation, given that you are classified as severely contaminated, all of your activities in the city will be supervised by me."
The armed puppet explained in that same synthesized electronic voice.
Hearing this, Nie Ning curled his lips. "You're going to follow me even when I sleep?"
"I will not infringe upon your privacy. I only need to stay within ten meters of you," the armed puppet replied.
"Then..."
Seeing that Nie Ning was still going to bicker with the armed puppet, Amivika quickly interrupted him.
"If we want to stay in Liuguang City, we must abide by their rules. Let's find a place to stay quickly."
Nie Ning shrugged and could only give up on continuing to test the armed puppet's stability, deciding to see how powerful this guy really was later.
Immediately after, the group found a nearby hotel and checked in.
It had to be said that although having a robot follow them around was uncomfortable, having an armed puppet was actually very convenient.
Even if others didn't know Nie Ning was a severe Corruptor, seeing the armed puppet made them subconsciously assume he was an official, maximizing all kinds of discounts.
After learning that Nie Ning was a severely contaminated person, the hotel even arranged a luxurious, oversized room for them.
Before going upstairs, Nie Ning checked the price. Ten mid-grade magic crystals a night was outrageously expensive, and that was even after the discount.
...
Inside the luxurious room.
Amivika and the others had gone to do other things, leaving only Qian Ning sitting blankly on the sofa.
"Why are you so downcast? Are you not feeling well?"
Nie Ning looked at Qian Ning, who seemed to be in a bad state, and asked in confusion.
He didn't look like he was having an episode, and he had been happy before going to the Research Institute. How did he turn into this in the blink of an eye?
"Is... is Xiao Guang really... an exotic beast?"
Qian Ning asked with his head lowered.
Nie Ning's eyebrows twitched slightly, thinking to himself, 'Oh boy.'
After knowing her for so long, this guy actually didn't know Xiao Guang was an exotic beast?!
Thinking about it, it was clearly only when he offered Xiao Guang as a gift earlier that Qian Ning realized this.
"True love knows no boundaries. If you compromise just like this, would you be worthy of Xiao Guang's trust?"
After a brief moment of shock, Nie Ning patted Qian Ning on the shoulder and said earnestly.
"But..."
Qian Ning hesitated, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Exotic beasts and humans were not of the same kind after all, which would naturally lead to a series of problems.
"You must follow your heart. If you are truly hesitating, I can send you home first."
There were some things Nie Ning couldn't easily advise on; he could only figure it out on his own.
After all, he didn't have a true love himself, so he naturally had no experience in this area.
Nie Ning didn't object to interspecies romance. Besides, Xiao Guang's appearance and abilities would definitely be the favorite of most men.
If she were ugly, he would have advised Qian Ning to go home sooner.
"Are you leaving?"
Xiao Guang's voice suddenly rang out from behind Qian Ning, startling the dazed Qian Ning.
"No, no, we were talking about where to go for fun tomorrow."
A forced, awkward smile appeared on Qian Ning's face.
