As Nie Li stepped out, a sense of accomplishment washed over him.
"First step done," he mused, proud of having managed to get Shen Xiu's attention and securing a reason to see her every day.
"Now, the real challenge begins: earning her respect," he pondered, his mind buzzing with strategies.
He was aware of Shen Xiu's interest in roping him into the Sacred Family, a prospect filled with advantages.
Yet, he couldn't help but question, "Do I really need the Sacred Family when I have the system at my disposal?"
Pushing that thought aside for the moment, Nie Li focused on his immediate goal.
"How do I make Shen Xiu see me as more than just another student?" he wondered, drawing a blank.
"I need a woman's perspective on this. But who to ask?" As he pondered, an idea struck him, and he made a beeline for the infirmary, where he found the physician.
"Oh, Nie Li, right?" the physician greeted.
"Yes," Nie Li confirmed, then quickly got to the point. "I have a question."
"How can I assist?" the physician inquired, her tone open and helpful.
"Hypothetically, if someone wanted to impress a somewhat arrogant woman by learning inscription arrays from her, what skill level should they aim for? To, you know, not end up offending her in the attempt?" Nie Li asked.
The physician paused, processing his question.
"How arrogant are we talking about here?"
Nie Li considered this for a moment before answering, "Let's just say, hypothetically, on the level of Shen Xiu."
"Is that so?" the physician mused. "Well, if she's anything like Shen Xiu, then your friend would need to surpass her in skill. Shen Xiu takes great pride in her inscription abilities. She'd likely only show respect to someone she considers a superior in the craft."
"Thank you," Nie Li said, genuinely grateful for the insight.
As he turned to leave, the physician handed him a note.
"I am free tonight if you want to have some fun," she said, giving him an address.
Nie Li eyed the note suspiciously, then glanced at the physician.

As Nie Li walked out of the infirmary, his face remained unreadable.
Deep down, he was reeling from the information he had just uncovered.
He pondered the possibilities, holding the note with the address tightly. "Is Shen Xiu trying to rope me in, using Zheng Pingru to seduce me because she doesn't want to? Or is there a deeper rivalry at play here, with Zheng Pingru out to get me on Shen Ming's orders so that Shen Xiu doesn't benefit from having me beside her that would make sense considering the recent talks I had with Shen Xiu."
"What's on your mind?" A familiar voice broke his concentration, pulling him back to the moment.
Nie Li turned to see Lu Piao, a smirk on his face. "Lu Piao, save the act. I know you've been spying on me and Pingru," Nie Li said, his tone more serious than usual.
Normally, he'd banter with Lu Piao, but the stakes felt too high for jokes now.
"I need that address," Lu Piao said with an unusual gravity.
"Over my dead body," Nie Li shot back, as he didn't want his skirt chaser friend to wind up dead because he couldn't contain it in his pants and the woman was a spy and a killer.
He bolted, Lu Piao hot on his heels.
Despite Lu Piao's persistence, Nie Li's speed gave him the edge, until, in a surprising turn, Nie Li dropped the address.
Lu Piao snatched it up, quickly read it, and then ate it with a triumphant grin.
"Ha, see you later. I'm off to have some fun," he boasted, assuming he had won a night of dao cultivation with the physician.
Meanwhile, Nie Li pulled out the real address.
With a smirk, he pocketed the actual note. Lu Piao had memorized a false address, part of Nie Li's quick thinking.
With the real address gone, Nie Li turned to the system.

Nie Li focused on the yellow arrow guiding him, sprinting towards the Holy Orchid Institute Library.
Unseen by him, Shen Xiu watched from the shadows, her eyes tracking his every move until he disappeared from sight.
She then shifted her gaze back to the infirmary, a cold look on her face.
"Someone needs to learn a lesson."
