It's not my fault!

After the classroom no longer noisy, Shen Xiu with her self-conceited, guaranteed that Sacred Family won't create trouble for him and his family.

"I don't care about your promise. You are just daughter of Sacred Family. I want guarantee of an elder. I want protection. I'm not fool, and I know many shady business of great family." Nie Li said again with flat tone. What he said was true. Many politician did shady things to eliminate their opponent.

"You!!!" Shen Xiu cannot refute Nie Li words.

"I will guarantee you and your family safety!" A low yet powerful voice came from the outside of the classroom.

Everyone were stunned. The vice-headmaster Ye Sheng stunned, Shen Xiu Stunned, all stunned.

Hearing this voice, it made Nie Li ease. Powerful master really can guarantee his safety. "Good, I hope senior will hold your own word. I will explain this Inscription Pattern."

"This is a low-graded Sacred Flaming Pattern. It can barely enter bronze rank pattern. With 38 patterns in it's structure, the power is weak. Barely enough to boil a can of water."

Immediately the auditorium broken full of laughter. Almost every students jeered at Nie Li. The Nie Li explanation was very different, 180 degree from the Shen Xiu explanation. Of course, the layman would dying from laugh so hard.

"You may laugh at my explanation, but the guarantor can testify my explanation." Nie Li said with easy tone like he didn't bothered by their mockery and laugh.

The auditorium instantly silent. They were waiting for mysterious man opinion.

After the brief silent, the guarantor said, "Hm… My opinion was similar to this little kid. Kid, explain more!"

Shen Xiu can refute all Nie Li opinion, but she absolutely cannot refute the mysterious old man because of his sensitive identity. Her face change from red to blue, and then black. She glared at Nie Li like viper stared at its prey.

"Good. Before I continue my explanation, I will ask my beloved teacher Shen Xiu a question. Are the first gen house master of Sacred Family really create this Inscription from the scratch?" Nie Li asked the origin of Inscription really caught Shen Xiu off guard.

"Of course, it has been known from the first household master published it. Why?" Shen Xiu replied. What Nie Li said was public knowledge. It was obvious, right?

"Heh… Are you sure? If my eyes not blind, the half of Scarlet Sunburst Pattern was copied from Snow Wind Era book, Book of Divine Lightning Fire. Oh right, to avoid meaningless bullshit, I accidentally borrow the Book of Divine Lightning Fire from institute library. Mister guarantor, you can pick this book from me. I already pointed the page." Nie Li said confidently and lifted up the thick book.

Then an old man came to pick the book. Nie Li told him the page if he accidentally closed the box. The old man nodded and brought the book with him.

After silent for ten minutes or so, the vice that guarantee Nie Lie safety rang once again.

"Hm… Indeed, half of the Scarlet Sunburst Pattern was exactly same inscription diagram inside this book. And this book was older than the first Sacred Family first household master." He said with flat tone. No hint of surprise or mockery inside his tone.

"This… This!!!" She really wanted to say impossible. But the one who said that was that old man. She didn't have strength to refute him.

"You really surprising me, young kid. Half of this book was not translated. You are very lucky to find this book. Now I understand why you ask confirmation of Shen Xiu first. Hahaha… Good. Ye Sheng, assign him to be library clerk."

"As your command." Ye Sheng answered.

Although he didn't have colossal knowledge and cheat item like Temporal Demon Spirit Book, he has knowledge about story flow of TDG. And his language cheat at least will help him a lot.

Nie Li looked at Shen Xiu clenched her fist and her face was pale. He let out a sigh and then said, "From the start I don't want to create trouble from nothing. But you annoy me when I lack a sleep and accidentally I was immersed to read that book. Such pity. I don't want to add some salt to your wound. So, let's stop this meaningless bickering here."

Just similar to the previous novel, the students began to gossiping the first house master Sacred Family.

"Nie Li, my family has passed down for hundreds years. We are one of three major families. We aren't someone like you, ordinary noble, can criticize!..." Suddenly Shen Yue, Shen Xiu nephew, start to ramble about his powerful family to oppress his classmate, especially Nie Li.

Nie Li didn't considered him at all along. His ramble didn't enter Nie Li ear at all. Nie Li just gazed at Shen Yue slightly and then picked another book to read. He still didn't has good cultivation manual. And this problem was more serious than played along with major family problem.

But Shen Yue still rambling on this topic again and again, So Nie Li said,

"Major family? You still naive, classmate Shen Yue. If there is no commoner, noble won't exist. If no common noble, great family like Sacred Family or Snow Wind Family will not exist! If you cannot understand this common sense, even you are a black gold combatant, nothing will change." Nie Li said with full of mockery.

***

After the class ended, he rushed to the institute library again and searched ancient book that contain cultivation manual. According to the novel he read, Nie Li body didn't contain any attribute. But now he has different soul. He just has Nie Li body, but not his soul.

Then, what should he do to get his soul tested?

And based his understanding, Glory City just had layman standard for soul testing manual. He needed to find explanation about soul and the soul grade.

Inside the library institute, he read every books that untranslated. He get many information that very interesting. The most exciting was, he got daoyin technique from that book. This was great leverage to get Ning'er as his maid… cough, his companion.

He also got many powerful cultivation manual. But he cannot try them because he still didn't know his soul patterns.

Finally, after he searched in whole afternoon, he found the soul grading. He also found information about unique constitution. Ye Ziyun and Xiao Ning'er were a good example. Unique soul needed unique cultivation manual. And to ensure Ning'er will fall in his gasp, he needed Lightning Dragon cultivation manual to bait her.

He suddenly realized that his thought became more wicked than before he transferred here. Nie Li didn't care about bad or good. Bad and good just separated by thin layer. And no human can judge another human in the name of justice.

On the nighttime, he managed to get many powerful cultivation manual and every cultivation manual he needed already inside his mind. He realized that his gift was actually as powerful as system assistance. Basically, he already read all book inside institute library. He just needed some time to digest the information and archive them inside his brain neatly.

***

Ning'er POV.

Ning'er lie down on her bed and opened Nie Li letter.

"Dear Ning'er,

My name is Nie Li and I'm your classmate. I write this letter because I know some of your secret.

I know about you secretly trained at the nighttime to increase your cultivation rank. You want to break the engagement, right? Don't worry, I will help you evade this engagement. Of course, if you pay with appropriate price.

Note: I also know about bruise on your feet and your rib.

Your beloved,

Nie Li"

Xiao Ning'er crushed the letter and immediately went to the institute training ground front gate.

***

Almost at midnight. Nie Li went to the institute training ground to meet Ning'er. In front of the gate, a teen girl waiting him. She was Xiao Ning'er, the class belle. If anyone knew this secret meeting, there will be uproar on the city.

"Good evening, classmate Ning'er. Let's go to your usual training area." Nie Li said to the point. Without beating the bush, it was soldier trait.

Ning'er just nodded and led him to her usual place. Although she felt anger after read his letter, she still needed to confirm how he knew that information.

On the way, Nie Li and Xiao Ning'er just silent while walking. Arrived at the destination, Nie Li immediately told her to open her shoes and her upper garment.

"What!!!"

"I just want you open your upper garment, not all your clothes." Nie Li said in irritated tone. Her voice was to loud and it hurt his ear.

"You!!" She glared at Nie Li with sharp gaze and full killing intent.

"Do you want to be cured or not?" Nie Li threatened her.

Xiao Ning'er bit her lip and slowly opened her shoes and her upper garment. When she wanted to open her bra, Nie Li stopped her.

"Stop, I still normal youth. If you show your lovely white mountains, I don't know if I still sane and not attack you. Your charm really on par with city lord daughter, you know."

"You also know Ye Ziyun?" She surprised, but not exaggerated.

"Of course I know. Stop this bullshit and start the treatment." Nie Li said with flat tone.

Of course, his tranquil expression was just facade. His heart actually beating fast after witness her flawless skin. She just 13 years old, but her stature has already started to make trouble.

Then Nie Li explained, "Your disease name is Arctic Disease. The root problem is training at night before enter bronze rank. I don't know why, but the moon essence that contain thick yin energy was the main reason your body become like this."

"According to ancient book I read, this disease can make you bedridden for the light case. Or death on the unfortunate case. My brain still cannot think, how delicate girl bear such pain everyday without anyone know. If it is me, I will just beg my parent to cure me..."

She was stunned. Like her effort was drained into nothingness. Droplet of tear fall down on her flawless skin. But she still clenched her grip and stayed silent.

Looked at her face, Nie didn't have heart to continue his rambling. Then he said,

"Okay, let's enter the main topic. I don't provide this information for free. You need to pay for my service..."

Hearing she needed to pay his service, she cannot help to blush. How could she didn't know what he want? Of course she know.

"I just want you to be my servant... Cough my companion I mean. Although I really want to taste your body, I still need to enhance my strength as well. Sex will only drown you to the abyss of addiction if you didn't have good control to your lust." Nie Li explain his condition.

Ning'er just stared at him without any sound.

"Don't look at me like that. This peaceful city soon will face beast horde. And it will be calamity to this city. And the culprit of this disaster is Shen Family." He smiled weakly at her.

Ning'er shocked after hearing what Nie Li said. Calamity? The Sacred family cause it?

"I tell you this because I need your strength. But I don't believe outsider. After you vow to be my faithful maid... Sorry, to be my companion, I will teach you powerful cultivation manual. Before that..."

Nie Li told her about medical receipt for her illness. He still cannot treat her now, because, he cannot use daoyin technique yet.

"Are you not worry I depart after getting your treatment and cultivation manual?" She asked with full of interest.

"Life is gamble. You can choose to left me, or stay with me. All is up to you. But all choice has different cost. Just think twice before you act." Nie Li cannot guarantee her loyalty, and gambling was the only way. If he was right, he got faithful servant, if not, nothing lost.

"Oh right, I need new soul crystal. Are you have it now?" Nie Li added.

Xiao Ning'er nodded and fished out new soul crystal. Then she gave it to Nie Li. She didn't ask what this crystal for. She knew that Nie Li was mysterious, and his answer maybe she cannot diggest.

Before they went back, Nie Li reminded her once again, "Don't train at nighttime under moonlight. Come here again after three days."
