He wasn't sure if it was his imagination, but the fact was, at this moment, he felt like he didn't recognize Nie Gu at all, as if Nie Gu's entire demeanor had transformed into someone else entirely.
"Are you Nie Gu? You're not Nie Gu!" The Nie Family Ancestor stared at Nie Gu intently, his voice trembling somewhat, filled with horror, disbelief, and trembling terror.
"Ancestor, I am indeed Nie Gu. Yes. In fact, what you see before you now is the real Nie Gu," Nie Gu said eerily, raising his hand gently and placing it on the shoulder of the Nie Family Ancestor. "Ancestor, since the young lad you favored is your most promising, most proud, and most anticipated successor, why not give me everything you should?"
As Nie Gu spoke, a trace of greedy malice appeared on the corner of his mouth, a chilling malice.
