chapter 9 Walter Oak===

shield!

It’s actually a shield!

Nicholas Pickering gritted his teeth in hatred, wishing he could climb over the wall and slap the girl.

This hand was so cruel!

It is not difficult to deduce from what Celeste just said that once the identity of Nicholas Pickering's fiancé is spread, he will inevitably attract the jealousy of those young geniuses who like Celeste.

The so-called geniuses are all self-righteous and self-proclaimed. Naturally, they cannot tolerate the goddess in their hearts being touched by a waste like Nicholas Pickering It is inevitable that they will come to provoke her, and it is more likely that they will attack her in groups.

Judging from Celeste's tone just now, there are definitely not a few suitors for this girly girl. If a group comes here, who the hell can stand it?

The ancients did not deceive me, women are such a disaster!

It's a pity that Nicholas Pickering is not Guan Zhong, and he doesn't have the ability to divert trouble to the east, so he can only swallow this sigh of frustration.

Little girl, if you wait, I will kill you one day!

In fact, this is just an angry talk - not to mention the strength gap between the two, Miss Celeste's show of hand has already shown her femme fatale nature. Who dares to "do" this? Kind of woman?

Yes, endure the calm for a while, take a step back and the sky will be brighter!

Nicholas Pickering was self-aware and decided to retreat strategically first. When he was strong enough, he would go to this "fiancée" to talk about his life ideals and let her know that traveling through the crowd was not something to be trifled with.

Under the starlight, Nicholas Pickering carefully left the garden and returned the same way, without disturbing anyone, and left Cuiming Garden quietly.

"I seem to have the potential to be a thief!"

Nicholas Pickering looked back at the huge Cuiming Garden, feeling somewhat smug. He felt that his infiltration operation tonight was perfect and he was definitely qualified to be included in the Thief's Handbook.

However, what he didn't know was that the two people in the Lake View Pavilion had been watching him leave Cuiming Garden with their eyes like those of a fool on the stage.

Ariana finally couldn't help but speak, not even bothering to hide the contempt and contempt in her heart: "He wants to find out the reality of the lady with his little strength, he really overestimates his capabilities!"

Celeste shook his head and said, "He didn't come to see me."

As she said that, the girl's eyes turned to the side room, and her eyebrows under the veil seemed to frown slightly.

Ariana Bingxue was smart and said: "It seems to be Ashton Liu's guard."

Celeste asked: "Do you know the reason?"

Ariana said: "I will check it out!"

Celeste thought for a while and said: "No matter what the reason is, don't touch Ashton."

Ariana was puzzled and asked: "Why?"

Celeste: "He belongs to Nicholas Pickering!"

Ariana was stunned for a long time with her mouth open: "... Nicholas Pickering...it seems, no way!"

Celeste lips curled up slightly: "Maybe, he can do it."

Ariana did not continue to delve into this topic and asked another question: "Miss, you just knew that Nicholas Pickering was eavesdropping outside the wall, why did you tell her about the shield?"

Celeste said lightly: "It is said that Nicholas Pickering in Ning County is a weakling, but when I saw him today, I didn't think so. His eyes were not weak or wasteful, but concealed a kind of calm confidence. ! I have only seen this kind of confidence in those geniuses who are truly invincible to me, so I think it is necessary to let those geniuses verify this Nicholas Pickering, maybe it will be fun!"

Ariana's little mouth opened wider and wider. She was shocked that her young lady actually gave Nicholas Pickering such a high evaluation. She suddenly felt worried and said, "Miss, you can't be..."

Celeste asked: "What can it be?"

Ariana hesitated for a moment: "...you don't like Fang Mo anymore, do you?"

Celeste didn't answer and asked instead: "Is he the peerless genius Franklin from Yanyuan or a famous member of the invincible family in Donghuang? Or is he a disciple of Tianji who can be regarded as the great road of heaven and earth?"

Having said this, Celeste smiled proudly: "I can't even look down on these people, so why should I look down on him, Fang Mo?"

"That's good, it scared me to death!"

Ariana seemed to be frightened. She patted her chest lightly, let out a long breath, and said, "Miss, do you think Nicholas Pickering is too Nicholas Pickering -minded when you compare Fang Mo to Franklin and the others?"

Celeste smiled softly: "He is as good as Tianyuan compared to Franklin. It is indeed not suitable for comparison. However, the only people of the same age who are qualified for me to remember their names are Franklin!"

Smile brightly and show your pride!

The world is so big that only three or five people can see it!

Fortunately , Nicholas Pickering was not here at this time, otherwise if he knew that Celeste not only used him as a shield, but also did it on purpose and even ignored him at all, he would definitely be so angry that he would travel through time again.

However, Nicholas Pickering at least knew that Celeste didn't really regard him as his fiancé, so there was no need for him to care too much about her.

In the following days, Nicholas Pickering devoted all his attention to training. The "Nine Finger Hegemony" gradually matured, and his body had been tempered to its true limit, which was several times stronger than the ordinary peak body tempering.

However, he still did not sense the vitality between heaven and earth.

"Have I been deceived by that old man with the white beard?"

It was said that if you successfully practice the "Nine Finger Hegemony Technique", you can become a Yuan warrior?

We don’t expect to reach the sky in one step and directly cultivate true energy, but at least it will allow us to sense the vitality of heaven and earth!

what? If you can't afford pork, why don't you smell the meat first?

Nicholas Pickering high cultivation mood suddenly disappeared. He felt depressed and decided to go out to Ning County to relax.

Ningxian County is only a small county town, and it is located in a corner with its back to the mountains, so it cannot be called prosperous.

Nicholas Pickering didn't care about this and wandered aimlessly, lowering his head and thinking about cultivation.

“Miss, look at this headband, it’s so beautiful!”

A familiar voice came, and Nicholas Pickering raised his head and saw the little maid Ariana and her young lady Celeste.

Celeste is still wearing a white veil and her skirt is dusty, giving people a feeling that they can only be viewed from a distance but not played with.

Since he wanted to watch from a distance, Nicholas Pickering decided to stay further away, turned around and left - he couldn't afford to offend this girl.

"Hey, isn't that Childe Nicholas?"

Ariana actually looked away from the flowers on her head and caught a glimpse of Nicholas Pickering leaving back.

Hearing the word "Childe Nicholas", Nicholas Pickering's mouth twitched and he thought to himself: These two can really act, aren't they afraid of thunder?

Nicholas Pickering pretended that Childe Nicholas was not calling him, and walked out quickly, eager to escape from the two femme fatales behind him.

However, others did not think so and said reluctantly: "Young Master Nicholas Pickering, Childe Nicholas..."

This time, Ariana was more straightforward and actually named her by name.

Nicholas Pickering had no choice but to turn around and look back, pretending that he had just seen Celeste and the two of them, and said in surprise: "It turns out to be Miss Celeste and Ariana. Is it such a coincidence?"

In this case, even if they knew that Nicholas Pickering was faking, most people wouldn't point it out.

However, Ariana is not an ordinary person and does not give Nicholas Pickering any face: "Childe Nicholas, you clearly saw us just now!"

"..."

Nicholas Pickering was speechless and even more speechless.

Is this girl not learning anything from Celeste, who is the most beautiful woman in the world?

Or did she do it on purpose? It's even possible that... Celeste instruction?

Nicholas Pickering couldn't help but think of Celeste using him as a shield, and felt that this woman wearing a white veil might really be such an insidious person.

"Ariana, don't be rude!"

At this time, Celeste spoke up and scolded Ariana, causing the little girl to stick out her tongue.

"hypocritical!"

However, Nicholas Pickering has already determined Celeste's image in his heart, so no matter how hard she "pretends to be kind", Nicholas Pickering will never be fooled.

Of course, Nicholas Pickering was not a fool. He smiled very gracefully and said, "Miss Celeste, I didn't expect to meet you here!"

Celeste: "I heard that you have been practicing recently, but I didn't expect that you would be interested in going out today."

Nicholas Pickering curled his lips and said: "There is no way, I have encountered a bottleneck in my practice, so I came out for a walk."

"cut!"

Ariana snorted, unabashedly expressing the truest contempt and contempt in her heart.

Of course Nicholas Pickering knew what this little girl meant, and laughed at himself: "That's right. People like me who can't even sense the vitality of heaven and earth don't seem qualified to talk about bottlenecks."

Celeste glared at Ariana through the veil, and then said to Fang Momo: "The path of cultivation is to go against the will of nature. Every level of improvement has bottlenecks, and body tempering is no exception."

Nicholas Pickering looked at Celeste with a depressed expression and said, "Girl, you are really bad at lying!"

After people temper their bodies to the extreme, they will naturally start to sense the vitality of heaven and earth. Mao Lai's bottleneck!

"Oh, isn't this the famous Lame Duck Nicholas from Ning County?"

At this moment, a strange and strange sound suddenly came from not far away.

Nicholas Pickering frowned slightly, turned around and saw a young man in gorgeous clothes being surrounded by four or five guards like stars beating the moon. The scene was huge and arrogant.

Nicholas Pickering knew this man and knew that he was Walter Oak, the eldest young master of the Oak Family .

Like the Pickering Family, the Oak Family is also one of the largest families in Ning County.

Like Nicholas Pickering, Walter Oak is also a well-known figure in Ning County.

However, compared to Nicholas Pickering Mo's reputation as a "weak loser", Walter Oak's reputation was much more brilliant. He was known as the number one young genius in Ning County, and his popularity was unprecedented.

Celebrities generally have special hobbies to show their uniqueness.

Walter Oak is no exception!

His hobby is bullying the weak.

Fang Yan, in the entire Ning County, who is weaker than Fang Mo, this weakling?

Therefore, since childhood, Nicholas Pickering has been the target of Walter Oak's bullying, rain or shine, never stopped.

This is also the reason for Nicholas Pickering's introverted and weak character, and the reason why he rarely leaves the Pickering Family.

No, just after leaving the Pickering Family, Walter Oak appeared, as if he was waiting for Nicholas Pickering to show up, and he came at the right time.

"Oh, it seems I can't escape."

Seeing Walter Oak malicious eyes, Nicholas Pickering sighed secretly and slowly clenched his fists in his sleeves.
