Meeting Ning'er Again

The date of the final test has arrived. All students have to test for their soul force and rank in front of everyone. The students with sufficient strength will be transferred to special class training.

'According to the story, my brother Shen Fei would find trouble with Nie Li for being close to Ning'er. But since Nie Li is not close to Ninger this time, there should be no major conflict.'

As expected, Nie Li and his group scored high on the test surprising everyone. Shen Yue tested after most of them and controlled his strength to only reach a three star bronze rank. It was neither too high nor too low compared to Nie Li's group. Ning'er was looking at Shen Yue but when she noticed his gaze, she turned away almost blushing. When she tested, she was five star bronze rank only one star lower than Zi Yun who was the first. Everyone was surprised by the accomplishments of the class.

When everyone has started to leave, Ning'er came up to Shen Yue. She has an unsure face as if hesitating about something.

"Shen Yue, can I talk to you?"

"Sure. Let's walk back together." Shen Yue was excited that she came to see him of her own accord.

"Shen Yue, your cultivation technique was very helpful. I was able to raise my cultivation so high because of it. I…I'd like to thank you." She was blushing a little.

"Don't worry about it. I am glad it was suitable for you."

"I'd like to give you this red jade as my thanks...and my momento." She was seriously blushing at this moment. She turned around to leave without saying goodbye.

"Oh, thanks a lot. Wait." Shen Yue followed her and caught her arm. She seemed surprised and shy while looking at his hand on her arm. Shen Yue quickly released his hand when he realized.

"I'd like to give you a gift as well. This is abstruse gemstone I got by chance. I want to give it to you. It should help with your cultivation." Shen Yue handed her the gemstone he got from the ruins.

She looked hesitant at first, then smiled beautifully. She didn't refuse it and took the gemstone necklace.

"Thank you. I will see you next semester." She turned around run away fast.

'As I was holding the red jade necklace. I remembered the significance of it. In the story, Ning'er gave it to Nie Li and it was considered a token of love. This must mean that Ninger has feelings for me!' Shen Yue was ecstatic as he was holding this red jade. He was grinning and completely oblivious of his surroundings. When he recovered, he noticed many eyes looking at him with jealousy and anger. But as soon as he gazed at them they turned away. He was the young master of Sacred Family after all.

Shen Yue also noticed the gazes of Nie Li and Zi Yun who were walking on the other side of the road. Nie Li looked serious with displeasure clearly written on his face while Zi Yun was looking at him with a confused and curious expression. He just ignored them and kept walking with a smile on his face.
