But today, he had been knocked out without any chance to resist.
Nian Yiâan clenched his fists and immediately realized he was restrained.
Ning Tingyi pursed her lips. âDonât look at me like that. I didnât want to do this to you. If you had accepted my pursuit, I would have taken you home to meet my father, and things wouldnât have ended up like this.â
However, Nian Yiâan had not only ignored her but had grown closer to Lin Jihuan.
What did Lin Jihuan have that she didnât?
Ning Tingyi knew that Lin Jihuan was from the Lin family in Sijiu, but no matter how powerful the Lin family was, they were just an ordinary wealthy family.
Her own Ning family, on the other hand, had numerous shamans and doctors, with even the Yu family coming to them for treatment.
What did Lin Jihuan amount to in comparison?
Yet, the Ning family was insignificant compared to several super-evolved being families, and they had to seek other ways to enhance their power.
Ning Tingyi had initially wanted Nian Yiâan to become part of her family, but since that failed, she had to follow her familyâs wishes and extract his blood for their use.
Nian Yiâan laughed bitterly. âSo itâs my fault?â
Ning Tingyi shook her head, her expression complex and tinged with pity. âItâs not your fault. Your fault is not having the ability to protect whatâs yours. The weak canât survive in this society.â
âDo you even know that youâre an evolved being? Your parents are ordinary people, but your genes have evolved. Youâre very fortunate, but you canât keep it.â
Nian Yiâan was neither from one of the evolved families nor a member of the Evolved Alliance. He had no power or influence, so what else could he do but be captured for experiments?
If she didnât capture him, someone else would eventually discover his identity and take him away.
At least she would go easy on him for the sake of their classmateship.
If other forces captured him, he would lose his life.
Ning Tingyi was puzzled. Initially, she could clearly sense that Yan Yiâan had evolved genes, but since last summer, she couldnât detect it anymore.
Fortunately, the instruments confirmed his evolved genes were still there.
Nian Yiâanâs gaze turned cold.
He had only recently learned about being an evolved being.
That day, Nian Tingchu had specifically avoided Ye Zhenmian to find him and told him about it.
Most evolved beings awaken around the age of eighteen, but a small portion exhibit extraordinary abilities from birth.
Nian Tingchu had seriously told him he was an evolved being but hadnât fully awakened, so his abilities were still unclear.
Given his agility in basketball, it was likely related to speed or flight.
Nian Yiâan had thought his father was being childish, even at forty-plus years old.
Until Nian Tingchu used his evolved abilities to solidify the air around him, turning it into a gel-like state, stopping its flow.
Yan Yiâan couldnât breathe and had to accept the existence of evolved beings.
Ning Tingyi had transferred to Northern State No.1 Middle School in her second year and began courting him in the second semester.
He hadnât realized it was for this reason.
Nian Yiâan said nothing more.
He closed his eyes, feeling the burning sensation in his shoulder blades.
Ning Tingyi felt hurt by his indifference.
She pursed her lips again and stood up. âTake care of yourself. Iâll try to leave you with your life.â
Ning Tingyi left the secret room.
Outside, she shook her head. âHe wouldnât listen. Do as Father said.â
The middle-aged man nodded after hearing her and signaled the shaman at the instrument panel to press the green execute button, preparing to extract Nian Yiâanâs blood.
âItâs thanks to Miss for discovering his evolved bloodline,â the middle-aged man said with a smile. âHe was always with a girl before, making it hard to get to him. Today, he was alone, making it easy.â
Evolved beings were mysterious to ordinary people.
If they were exposed to the public, it would cause a huge commotion.
Evolved beings looked down on ordinary people.
Their genes had evolved to varying degrees.
For them, it was survival of the fittest.
Eventually, the environment would eliminate all ordinary people, leaving only those with evolved genes.
Even the lowest-ranked evolved being had genes superior to ordinary humans.
Unfortunately, there was no technology yet to transform ordinary people into evolved beings.
The DNA of evolved beings had been extracted and examined multiple times, but it couldnât be successfully replicated.
