Guidance

Nie Li and his group were chatting, when 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 and looking down at it. Her head of purple hair was like a flowing waterfall. Beside her ears, bundles of hair were tied up with silk thread adding an even more lovely temperament to her.

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

Nie Li's heartbeat fastened just by looking at her. For an instant, countless memories flooded his head. In the Endless Desert, they had been hiding and running from countless demon beasts. In those life and death situations, thanks to Nie Li's sharp sense of danger, he had saved the survivors countless times and had gradually gotten together with Ye Ziyun as they grew to know each other better.

Although Nie Li's cultivation had been extremely poor and the gap between him and Ye Ziyun had been as wide as the sky, both of them had still gotten together.

That night, Nie Li had touched Ye Ziyun's smooth back, the crazy love for her in his heart couldn't have been suppressed much longer. Ye Ziyun under the moonlight that night, was as perfect as an image of a goddess, her attractive face, her curvy body, smooth and dedicate jade arms, perky twin peaks… Those crazy scenes had been deeply imprinted into Nie Li's heart.

The Nie Li of that time, never in his wildest dreams would a goddess-like beauty like Ye Ziyun actually fall for him.

Later, in order to cover him and other survivors in their escape, Ye Ziyun had sacrificed herself in battle. Seeing that scene, Nie Li's heart had been as though it had been stabbed by someone. He still remembered that kind of piercing pain. If it hadn't been to fulfil Ye Ziyun's wishes to protect her family to safety, the Nie Li of that time would definitely have followed her in death.

'If it wasn't for that mysterious Temporal Demon Spirit Book, I wouldn't be able to come back to life, wouldn't be able to see her again!', he thought.

Nie Li inhaled a deep breath, calming his inner excitement. He had always been searching for a chance to get close to Ye Ziyun, but he didn't want to disturb her. Anyways since the marriage between her and Shen Yue had not been set yet, the current Nie Li felt an urgent need to enhance his strength.

Only by having strength, could he deter the Sacred Family, and then be able to snatch Ye Ziyun from the hands of Shen Yue.

"You guys go up first, I still have some matters to attend!" Nie Li said as he looked towards Du Ze, Pu Liao and the trio.

Du Ze and Lu Piao followed Nie Li's gaze. Hands holding an ancient book, the beauty quietly reading was like an elf in the evening, simply perfect. She was wearing a white, silk dress, had a graceful demeanour, and was leaning against the bookshelf. With a dignified posture, she was quiet and elegant like a lotus out of the water, and seemed holy and noble causing one to not dare to profane. They instantly knew what Nie Li wanted to do.

Everyone liked beautiful things. It was just that when facing Ye Ziyun, they didn't even have the courage to go forward due to their low self-esteem.

Nie Li walked towards Ye Ziyun's direction.

"I bet Nie Li will fail within 15 minutes, the prettiest girl in class will definitely ignore him!" Lu Piao said confidently smiling.

"I hope Nie Li won't get a blow too big for him." Du Ze murmured.

They hid in a corner, looking at Nie Li. "He'll probably get ignored by her. The prettiest girl in class isn't that easy to approach, even Shen Yue failed to get close to her numerous times."

Ye Ziyun was quietly reading books at dusk. This beautiful scene, Nie Li couldn't bear to disturb it.

Nie Li unexpectedly noticed that the book Ye Ziyun was reading was actually that Book of Divine Lightning Fire.

Ye Ziyun furrowed her brows while flipping through the book. She was someone that had a strong competitive spirit and was also very hard working, no matter if it was her talent, cultivation, or even her knowledge, they were all far stronger than those of ordinary people. She still had that little pride in her heart, but she was starting to realise that the gap between her and Nie Li was actually very wide.

The stuff in the Book of Divine Lightning Fire was too profound!

The first volume was translated, which was okay, but, after the first volume, the other volumes were written with the language of the Snow Wind Empire. She couldn't understand any of it!

When it came to knowledge, Ye Ziyun was indeed stronger than her peers, but she had found the wrong guy to compare herself to. After all Nie Li had been reborn.

Seeing that Ye Ziyun was holding and flipping through the Book of Divine Lightning Fire, with Nie Li's understanding towards her, he could naturally guess what was on Ye Ziyun's mind. He couldn't help but smile as he walked to her side, and teasingly said "So, student Ye Ziyun is also interested in the Book of Divine Lightning Fire?"

At this moment Ye Ziyun recovered from her deep thoughts. Looking at Nie Li, her face revealed a surprised expression, she obviously hadn't expected to bump into Nie Li here. Thinking again, Nie Li was probably here reading books, otherwise how could he have had that much knowledge?

"This book is too profound, I just skimmed through it and realised that I couldn't read a lot of things inside!" Ye Ziyun closed the Book of Divine Lightning Fire, elegantly saying while politely keeping her distance from Nie Li.

From Ye Ziyun's slender figure, although she was a few steps away, a subtle fragrance could be smelt. Nie Li knew that this was her unique body fragrance, causing one to be mesmerised. This fragrance, so familiar and intimate, was the same fragrance as in his memories.

"This Book of Divine Lightning Fire is written in the words of the Snow Wind Empire Era. The words from that era are slightly esoteric and hard to understand, but if you can first learn the words from the Black Gold Empire Era, you will find them easier to understand and can then read the words from the Snow Wind Empire Era much more easily." Nie Li smiled and said.

"Words from Black Gold Empire Era?" Ye Ziyun carefully recalled. Before the Age of Darkness, there were 3 eras that were rather well recorded by the most powerful empires in each era which were, respectively, the Saint Spirit Empire Era, the Snow Wind Empire Era, and the Sacred Empire Era. The Black Gold Empire was a relatively big empire in the era of the Snow Wind Empire.

Nie Li was well-learnt and knew a lot of stuff so Ye Ziyun couldn't help but feel a little admiration.

"But to learn an era's language just to read this book is not necessary. Also with your aptitude, it is not too suitable to practice Lightning Fire cultivation techniques." Nie Li's expression was calm, unlike other boys who were so reserved and stiff in front of Ye Ziyun.

After all, Nie Li understood Ye Ziyun too well, down to the depth of her bones.

"Oh? Then what cultivation technique is suitable for me?" Ye Ziyun was sizing up the boy in front of her. Nie Li's knowledge caused her to feel a little dejected and depressed.

"If I guessed correctly, with your family, someone in the family used soul force to examine your body before, you're currently practicing Snow Wind cultivation technique, so Snow Wind cultivation technique is probably the best suited for your physique!" Nie Li faintly smiled and said.

Ye Ziyun's eyes widened, shocked as she look at Nie Li. Nie Li had actually guessed correctly, her grandfather had indeed used his soul force to examine her body before, but that was a secret not known to others. After all, examining someone's body used up a large amount of soul force, how did Nie Li know of this?

Seeing Ye Ziyun's expression, Nie Li knew that he had guessed correctly, he smiled and said "Although your family examined your physique before, they definitely couldn't detect your soul realm's form, so the cultivation technique they chose might not be suitable for you."

"The form of the soul realm?" Ye Ziyun frowned her brows, she didn't know what that was.

"How about taking a little bit of time and let me examine your soul realm's form?" Nie Li asked towards Ye Ziyun.

Ye Ziyun raised her head looking at Nie Li, thought for a moment and shook her head, "No need!" She still kept her distance from Nie Li. If Nie Li's method of examining was similar to her grandfather's, then there would have to be some skin contact. Ye Ziyun still had some precautions against Nie Li.

Seemingly guessing what Ye Ziyun was thinking, Nie Li smiled. He knew that Ye Ziyun thought too much, saying, "Actually the method of examining is very simple, get an unused soul crystal when you get back, then by injecting your soul force into the soul crystal, I just need to observe the soul crystal awhile to tell your soul realm's form."

"Oh? That simple?" Ye Ziyun apologetically looked at Nie Li. It seemed like she had misunderstood Nie Li, a single soul crystal wouldn't cost that much money.

"If you want to test the form of your soul realm, look for me here tomorrow around this time." Nie Li finished his words, turned around and left.

Ye Ziyun dumbfoundedly looked at Nie Li. Usually when boys talked to her, they would always want to chat for a little longer, but Nie Li was actually an exception. What kind of person was Nie Li really? She realised she didn't understand this classmate at all.

Nie Li had grasped Ye Ziyun's character. The more he tried to get closer to Ye Ziyun, the further Ye Ziyun would distance herself from him. The time in the future was still long, first leave a good impression on Ye Ziyun then slowly build up their relationship.

Ye Ziyun clenched her teeth, and said "Classmate Nie Li."

"What's the matter?" Nie Li turned his head asking.

Seeing that Nie Li and Ye Ziyun were talking in the distance and that, when Nie Li walked away, Ye Ziyun actually called out to him, caused Du Ze, Lu Piao and the group to look at each other amazedly.

"Sure enough, he deserves to be the boss. First, he made goddess Ning'er willing to take the initiative to send breakfast, and now he actually made goddess Ziyun call out to him. For the happiness of the rest of my life, I need to ask boss for some guidance." Wei Nan murmured.

This caused jealousy from bystanders. To be able to speak with goddess Ziyun, how many men wished for that kind of thing?

Du Ze and Li Piao looked at each other.

"Seems like we underestimated Nie Li!"

"This guy is secretive of his skills!"

"Nie Li hooked up with goddess Ning'er, and he definitely can also hook up with goddess Ziyun. Holding one on the left and one on the right hugging the other, his happiness will be boundless!"

Nie Li didn't know of the discussion between these brothers, hearing Ye Ziyun calling out to him was unexpected, he surprisedly turned his head back.

"Classmate Nie Li's knowledge on Inscription Patterns is profound. I have some questions for Nie Li, is it okay?" Ye Ziyun asked with her bright eyes looking at Nie Li.

"Of course you can, pray tell." Nie Li laughed.

Ye Ziyun did not get her hopes too high, after all the questions that she wanted to ask weren't things that ordinary people could solve. In terms of understanding in Inscription Patterns, the knowledge of Ye Ziyun, who was born into one of the Major families, had far surpassed her peers.
