Just now, Ni Zhen had felt that the other party looked somewhat familiar, and now when he heard the person beside him remind him, he immediately recalled something.
Isn’t this kid in front of him the same loser who was scared silly at the test site yesterday and then protected by Senior Sister Luo?
For a moment, Ni Zhen’s face was filled with an undisguised look of contempt.
Putting aside the fact that the other party’s performance yesterday was very wimpy, the sight of the other party being cared for by Senior Sister Luo like that yesterday had also long caused Ni Zhen and the others to be displeased.
Moreover, almost everyone in the entire clan knew that Senior Sister Luo was the one that Senior Brother Wu Ziyu had taken a fancy to.
As Wu Ziyu’s loyal subordinate, at this time, Ni Zhen naturally would not give any good looks to this person who was somewhat ambiguous with Senior Sister Luo in front of him.
“I really didn’t expect that someone like you would still be able to enter our clan!”
Ni Zhen snorted coldly.
“What, is there any problem?”
Li Nan asked with a calm face.
This inner disciple in front of him seemed to have some prejudice against him, and Li Nan could naturally see it.
“Yo, not too bold, but not even small-tempered, how dare you talk back to old me!”
Ni Zhen’s face instantly turned gloomy.
“Senior brother, should I teach him a lesson for you, so that he knows some rules?”
The disciple next to him who had spoken before made a move to step forward, looking as if he was eager to perform in front of Ni Zhen.
This disciple was called Xiong Qing, although he was only an outer disciple, he had some power in this courtyard because he had joined earlier and was very good at getting things done, and was close to a small leader like Ni Zhen.
When he saw that Xiong Qing was about to make a move, Ni Zhen stopped him.
“No, we still have a long way to go, let’s take our time later.”
The corner of Ni Zhen’s mouth was tinged with a cold smile.
Obviously, listening to his words, there was no shortage of small shoes for Li Nan in the future.
After that, Ni Zhen took out a piece of sign and casually threw it to Li Nan.
“Wang Yao, this is your matter, from now on, the Heavenly Staircase of Divine Martial Peak will be left to you to clean up every day!”
Ni Zhen said with a smile.
Hearing these words, Xiong Qing and the others all burst out laughing.
Because they all knew that the Divine Martial Peak’s Heavenly Staircase, which led from the foot of the mountain to the top, had a total of 9,999 steps.
If they cleaned it every day, it would be strange if they were not exhausted!
Moreover, in the past, the work of cleaning the stairs was done by ten disciples, but now, Ni Zhen had given this job to Li Nan alone, which was a deliberate attempt to make things difficult for him!
“Remember, I’ll be checking every day from now on, if you don’t clean up, you’ll be punished. What about Wang Yao, any questions?”
Ni Zhen said with a smug look on his face.
Li Nan was not stupid either, looking at Xiong Qing and the others gloating, he knew that this cleaning of the stairs was definitely not a good job.
But he didn’t bother to say anything more, he had just joined the sect now, and the main thing was to keep a low profile.
However, there was a limit to Li Nan’s patience.
If these people were merely playing such petty tricks with himself, it would be fine, but if they took things too far, then he might not be polite!
After accepting the sign, Li Nan turned around and left straight away.
“Hahahaha, Brother Zhen, you’re still great, cleaning the stairs every day, it’s weird if he doesn’t get tired until he vomits blood, hahaha ……”
As soon as Li Nan left, Xiong Qing and the others simply coaxed laughter.
You really also had a smug look on your face.
“Humph, a wimp like that doesn’t deserve to stay in our Divine Martial Sword Sect! How dare he talk back to me, he’ll have to suffer later!”
Ni Zhen said with a cold snort.
“That’s right, that’s right, even Brother Zhen dares to offend, let’s see how he can still stay in the sect in the future!”
Xiong Qing echoed with a smile.
Xiong Qing then turned to the other new disciples around him with a cold face and said, “You all know how to engage with this kid in the future, right?”
When the crowd heard this, they all hurriedly nodded their heads, “Got it!”
It was obvious that this Wang Yao had now been targeted by Ni Zhen and the others, and under such circumstances, they naturally had to avoid this Wang Yao far away, or else they would definitely be implicated as well.
Hearing the responses from the surrounding people, Ni Zhen was also satisfied.
He had to clean the heavenly staircase every day and was isolated by everyone, so it seemed that this Wang Yao would not be able to stay in the sect for long!
However, the truth was not at all what Ni Zhen had thought.
It was true that it took a lot of effort to clean the 9,999 steps of the Heavenly Staircase, but to Li Nan, who had a Heavenly Immortal cultivation, this amount of labour was nothing at all.
It would take ten ordinary disciples a whole day to clean the stairs, but Li Nan could do it in less than two hours, and that was even if he didn’t want to be too visible and deliberately restrained.
If he were to use his full strength, it would take him less than half an hour to clean the entire staircase.
Moreover, there was another advantage to the job of cleaning the staircase, and that was that no one would bother with it outside of work, so Li Nan could have more time for cultivation every day.
For this job, Li Nan simply liked it a bit.
As for the ostracism and isolation of the others, Li Nan had already noticed it since his first day back.
But Li Nan didn’t care about it, he even wanted everyone to ignore him, so that he could hide his identity better and not worry about the risk of being exposed.
In a flash, three months had passed.
On this day, as usual, Li Nan was cleaning the staircase one level at a time, as he walked along the steps.
And just at that moment.
“Yo, isn’t this our raggedy king of the seventh courtyard, Wang Yao!”
A voice suddenly rang out from above.
When Li Nan lifted his head, he saw several figures standing there.
The one in the lead was Xiong Qing!
“How’s that, sweeping the floor and collecting rubbish here every day, you’re having quite a good time, aren’t you?”
Xiong Qing’s face was full of mockery and ridicule.
However, Li Nan only gave the other party a glance and ignored it, continuing to sweep the floor with his head down.
Originally, Xiong Qing wanted to mock the other man and make him look bad, but at this moment, Li Nan’s attitude of indifference made Xiong Qing’s face a little embarrassed.
“Damn it, I’m talking to you, are you f*cking deaf?
Xiong Qing cursed directly.
“Sorry, I only sweep rubbish, but I never talk to rubbish.”
As he spoke, the sweeping motion in Li Nan’s hand did not stop, and he did not even look at Xiong Qing.
This time, Xiong Qing was completely enraged.
“Damn, who are you calling trash?!”
Xiong Qing was so angry that his face turned red.
“Of course whoever is trash, I’ll say whoever it is.”
Li Nan said casually.
Xiong Qing was instantly so angry that his body trembled.
Although he was only an outer disciple, he was second only to Ni Zhen in the Seventh House and still felt good about himself.
But now, he was being called trash by this wimp in front of him, so how could he not be angry in his heart!
“Damn it, a wimp, how dare you talk to me like that!”
As he spoke, Xiong Qing kicked over a wooden barrel next to him.
This barrel was full of dye.
Xiong Qing and the others had come here to transport the dyes down from the peak, but now they were being used as a tool for him to vent his anger.
“Clatter!” A sound.
Most of the dye in the bucket poured out of it at once, staining dozens of steps brown.
“Hahahaha, kid, aren’t you a f*cking bully? You just clean up after me today, if these dyes aren’t cleaned up by the end of the day, you’ll have your ass handed to you! Hahahaha ……”
Xiong Qing felt very satisfied with what he had done, and his whole person was instantly happy.
“That’s right, just hurry up and clean up!”
Those few men who were following Xiong Qing all coaxed laughter as well.
“Alright, let this wimp clean up, let’s go!”
Xiong Qing said, and with a wave of his hand, he was about to lead his men to leave directly.
However, before he could take two steps, there was an ice-cold voice from behind him, “Stop right there!”
Xiong Qing turned back.
“What’s the matter?”
Xiong Qing had a look of disdain on his face.
“You really think I’m a soft touch, so easy to bully?”
Li Nan’s face was calm.
“Yo, aren’t you? Hahahaha ……”
Xiong Qing and a few of them burst into laughter.
Li Nan, however, did not pay attention, but said directly, “You guys stay and clean this place up for me before you leave, otherwise, I guarantee you will regret it!”
It was true that Li Nan wanted to keep a low profile, but now, Xiong Qing had already violated his bottom line.
When he heard Li Nan’s words, Xiong Qing but snorted a laugh.
“What did you say? Make us regret? Laozi didn’t hear you wrong, did he? Hahahaha ……”
Xiong Qing laughed coldly.
Several other people also had disdainful faces.
In their opinion, this Wang Yao in front of them was a complete and utter loser, how dare he put such wild words, it was simply ridiculous!
“Come on, you f*cking show me how you can make the old men regret it ……”
As he spoke, Xiong Qing even raised his hand to slap at Li Nan’s face.
Only, before his hand had touched Li Nan’s face, Li Nan was already the first to slap it over.
“Slap!” With a crunching sound, Xiong Qing’s whole body was directly knocked backwards and staggered, almost not falling off the steps directly.
Otherwise, Li Nan’s slap would have sent Xiong Qing to the foot of the mountain!
Li Nan’s slap had completely enraged Xiong Qing.
He had never thought that this famous wimp from their No. 7 courtyard would really dare to fight him!
“Motherf*cker, I think you’re tired of living!”
Xiong Qing was furious, and as he spoke, he swung his fist and smashed his fist directly towards Li Nan’s face.
Xiong Qing was now at least a half-step Grand Master.
His punch was so powerful that even a stone could be shattered!
However, before his punch reached Li Nan, Li Nan violently waved the broom in his hand and blocked it directly in front of him.
Even though the broom was just an ordinary broom, it looked very soft, but for some reason, Xiong Qing’s fist hit it as if it had smashed against a steel plate.
A great pain came from Xiong Qing’s fist.
He withdrew his hand and saw that the entire front of his fist was already bloody, white and bony, looking unbearable.
“Ah! My hand!!!”
Xiong Qing let out a miserable scream.
