Chapter 17

"Hey, Nie Li what's up dude? " Suddenly a lazy voice traveled to Nie Li's ear as both Lu Piao and Du Ze came inside the Library room.

"I am fine, how are you? How were the classes? " Nie li asked in his casual voice as he stood up and began to walk towards the exit.

"Boring! As usual, all that she cares about is the nonsense nobel talk. I feel jealous of you, for getting not to attend her class"

"It's not that I get to miss her class, I choose to do so! " Nie li corrected Lu Piao as stood at the exit, shutting him up.

"Nie Li, I know that you are way more knowledgeable comparable to Teacher Shen but still don't you think it's bad to just outright ignore her classes. What if something bad happens?" Du Ze asked worried for Nie Li.

" I don't think there will be any problem, at most I am just a irresponsible student in the eyes of the higher ups or maybe even arrogant but I am busy with my own research. Push come to shove, I will just translate an old book and shove it down their throat" Nie li joked as he burst out in laughter with his friends, In contrast to him, they also had a wry smile on their face as they don't really know if he is joking or not.

"You guys continue training in the library, I have some matters to attend to tonight." Nie Li said laughing.

Tonight, Nie Li and Xiao Ning'er had promised to meet!

Just when Nie Li was about to leave, Nie Li's gaze suddenly turned towards a distant direction. Amongst the rows of book shelves, a graceful figure was currently holding a thick book looking down at it. A head of purple hair was like a waterfall falling. Beside the ears, bundles of hair were tied up with silk thread adding more lovely temperament to her.

The evening sunlight shined on her delicate face, making her more elegant and attractive.

Du Ze and Lu Piao followed Nie Li's gaze. Hands holding onto an ancient book, the beauty quietly reading was like an elf in the evening, simply perfect. Wearing a white silk dress, having a graceful demeanour, leaning against the bookshelf. With a dignified posture, quiet and elegant like a lotus out of the water, holy and noble causing one not dare to profane.

Nie Li looked Ye Ziyun's direction with indifference. Nie Li, unexpectedly, found that the book Ye Ziyun is reading is actually that Book of Mighty Scarlett Flames.

Ye Ziyun furrowed her brows while flipping through the book. She is someone that has a strong competitive spirit and is also very hard working, no matter if it's the talent, cultivation, or even her knowledge, they are also far stronger that ordinary people. She still had that little pride in her heart, but she actually realised the gap between her and Nie Li was actually so huge.

The stuff in the Book of Mighty Scarlett Flames is too profound! She didn't understand any of it!

Seeing Ye Ziyun holding and flipping through the Book, he naturally guessed Ye Ziyun's mind. He couldn't help but smile as he thought " Should I help her? Well I am the Library Clerk so it's my job."

Nie Li looked in her direction again and turned around to walk away from the library, ' If she has hunger for knowledge, she herself would come to me, if she cannot even put away her pride for that. Then I guess that's all she was worth. In the end, the well doesn't come to the thirsty, the thirsty comes to the well'

"Eh" Du Ze and Lu Piao was stunned at Nie li indifference towards the goddess, As he made his way outside.

...

The night slowly arrives, moon shined brightly, covering everything with a veil.

Training grounds.

Nie Li walking towards the area where he first met Xiao Ning'er. Seeing far away, under the moonlight, there standing quietly was Xiao Ning'er. She had faintly moist hair cascading down, studded with silver ribbons. White delicate face, slender eyebrows, elegant and refined, without the slightest sense of reality.

"Thought you weren't coming?" Xiao Ning'er's eyes fell on Nie Li.

"A deal is a deal! I don't renege on promise." Nie Li faintly smiled saying, " Especially when you have paid upfront."

"Thank you." Xiao Ning'er whispered, lowering her head. Her heart filled with gratitude.

Nie Li lowered his head looking at Xiao Ning'er. Xiao Ning'er's outfit seems to be more attractive compared to her usual. That white silk dress showing her seductive figure, from her chest the long dress stretches all the way to the knee. Slender legs shaped by diligent practice and full of elasticity could be seen.

"I hope the medicine worked, although I am still very apologetic for making you wait for a week. " Nie Li looked towards Xiao Ning'er's feet. Her delicate ankle, was as beautiful as sparkling crystal, smooth and delicate. The bruise that was there had slightly lighten.

"Yeah, it has," Xiao Ning'er nodded her head. Her heart was filled with gratitude for Nie Li. After getting the prescription from Nie Li, these few nights she slept especially soundly, unlike before where it was torturing.

"Show me your bruised area." Nie Li asked.

Xiao Ning'er's eyes started to look at the ground as she sat down.

Nie Li lowered his head to look at it. He saw a patch of red on the top of one of Xiao Ning'er's silky white feet. The bruise was very much relived.

"It's still quite serious." said Nie Li. He frowned and continued. "It's good that we arranged for this session, Your conditions must be very dire to still be in this state."

Nie Li crouched down, and sat on the grass patch.

"En," said Xiao Ning'er, nodding her head. When she placed her foot on Nie Li's legs, a light flashed across her eyes.

Nie li took out a small silver needle from his Inventory as looked straight at the bruise.

"I am going to use this needle as a medium between my Daoyin Technique and your bruise " Nie Lo said as he positioned the needle. This method is something he came up with, He can use it to directly introduce Daoyin technique into her bruise, it needs extremely precise control. Nie Li has practiced a lot and with the help of A.I.Chip he could easily mastered it.

The needle began to shine as Nie li shoved it into her bruise.

"Ah" Xiao Ning'er couldn't help to let out a pained sound.

"It will hurt a little, Don't worry the pain will go away instantly" said Nie Li. He had a very serious expression on his face. Practicing on dummy is one thing and doing the procedure on a alive person is another. Nie li has inquired about Xiao Ninger out of his habit to gain information about the people he deals with. He was bewildered to know of the struggle she has to go through, along with her determination to change her fate. Nie li was very supportive of this and was also rooting for her. This is why he doesn't want to mess things up here.
