Long Time No See

--- Holy Orchid Institute ---

An old man with a beard and hair white was currently looking at the dazzling Xiao Ning'er in front of him. This elder was the Vice-principal of the Holy Orchid Institute, Ye Sheng.

"Xiao Ning'er, are you sure that you want to enter the Heavenly Sacred Border?" Ye Sheng said, frowning his brows, "You do know that entering the Heavenly Sacred Border has its dangers right? A few students, after coming out of the Heavenly Sacred Border, had huge problems with their soul realms."

"Vice-Principal, do I have the qualifications to enter the Heavenly Sacred Border?" Xiao Ning'er raised her head, looking at Ye Sheng and asked. Her eyes flashed with firm determination.

"Of course, your talent is indeed qualified for it. There is indeed, great benefits for entering the Heavenly Sacred Border before reaching Silver rank." Ye Sheng nodded. It had been a long time since he had had such an outstanding student.

"I have decided to enter the Heavenly Sacred Border," Xiao Ning Her heavily nodded her head, her eyes flashed with unprecedented firmness.

"How about your father? Has he agreed to your actions?"

"Yes!" Xiao Ning'er nodded. Truth was, she had come over behind her family's back.

"Okay then. In that case, I'll fulfill your wish!" Ye Sheng nodded. Together with a few teachers, he brought Xiao Ning'er to a grand building behind the Holy Orchid Institute.

The teachers of the Holy Orchid Institute looked at each other. Truth was, they all quite admired Xiao Ning'er's courage. She actually had the courage to enter the Heavenly Sacred Border. The Heavenly Sacred Border was an extremely mysterious place. Only the most outstanding geniuses amongst geniuses could enter. Of those who had entered, many had had problems occur to their souls; some had come out without gaining anything. Only a few had managed to pass through the Heavenly Sacred Border. Of course, those who had passed through the Heavenly Sacred Border had obtained powerful heritage and become powerful existences. They would at least become Black Gold rank Demon Spiritualists. Only Ye Mo had managed to reach the Legend rank Demon Spiritualist rank.

There had always been a legend about the Heavenly Sacred Border. Those who had managed to pass through the Heavenly Sacred Border were able to become the focus attention genius of the whole Glory City. Such a talent would be able to receive the protection of the City Lord Mansion. The City Lord Mansion would definitely protect the safety of this genius. They would not allow anyone to disturb their training. At the same time, there would also be lots of privileges.

The reason why Glory City had not toppled under the threats of the demon beasts was highly connected to the geniuses of Glory City. It was exactly thanks to the rising of these genius that Glory City managed to maintain itself. Therefore, Glory City's protection towards geniuses was very complete and thoughtful.

Under the guidance of Ye Sheng and the teachers, Xiao Ning'er walked towards the grand building. She lowered her head as she began to daydream a little. She was wondering how Nie Li was doing.

'I have to continue to chase after you, fight side by side with you. And, one day, you will finally pay attention to me!' Xiao Ning'er thought to herself. Her face had a hint of a charming blush. She recalled all her encounters with Nie Li. Unknowingly, Nie Li's figure could no longer disappear from her heart.

Half of the reason why Xiao Ning'er was trying so hard was to grab Nie Li's attention.

Xiao Ning'er raised her head, walking forward in big steps.

--- Several days later, Glory City's Northern Martial Field ---

The Northern Martial Field was a field that was a few kilometres long in circumference. There were viewing stands, enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people, surrounding the martial field. There would often be competitions hosted in this area. This was due to the fact that Glory City's people had high interests in martial arts, therefore, there would be lots of people coming over. Many would also come over to participate in all kinds of bets.

At this moment, people from various families were already seated within the Northern Martial Field. Members of the Heavenly Marks Family were sitting at a corner of the north side. Their distance from the Sacred Family wasn't much.

In the past, no one would have paid attention to a declining family like the Heavenly Marks Family. But now, no family would neglect the Heavenly Marks Family.

What made others jealous, envious, and hateful, was that Director Yang Xin of the Alchemist Association was also here. She had even brought three elders from the Alchemist Association over and was sitting right beside the Heavenly Marks Family. They were talking and were laughing with the Heavenly Marks Family. This caused other families to be burning with jealousy.

Normally, they would try their best to curry up to figures like Yang Xin and the Alchemist Association's elders, but, no matter what they tried, they still wouldn't get any attention. They would never be in their eyes. However, Yang Xin's expressions had been polite towards the people from the Heavenly Marks Family.

"Little brother Nie Li, that pot of yours almost killed big sister Yang Xin. How are you planning to make it up to your big sister?" Yang Xin said, charmingly looking at Nie Li. Actually, the situation wasn't so serious. The people that had tried to kill her on that day had been taken care of in a flash by her bodyguards. There had been no danger. However, in front of Nie Li, she made it sound so serious.

Nie Li, naturally, knew what Yang Xin wanted. He lightly smiled and said, "About this matter, I'll owe big sister Yang a favour."

"Good!" Yang Xin smiled, giving her soft waist a stretch and said, "Why hasn't this tournament started yet. I'm starting to get a little bored... Is little brother Nie Li going up too? Big sister will have to pay close attention to that!"

Several other men from a few other families eyed the curvy and charming Yang Xin with widened eyes, unable to shift their gazes off of her. When they saw her plump chest as she stretched, they couldn't help swallowing a mouthful of saliva.

Because Yang Xin had unparalleled beauty and a high status, no one dared to go forward. Who would joke around? She was someone who could decide a family's fate. Who would dare to be rash around her?

Yang Xin had already gotten used to those heated gazes, and turned a blind eye against them. Instead, her gaze would occasionally fall on Nie Li.

While Nie Li and Yang Xin were chatting, several people from the Sacred Family walked over. The one taking the lead was the Main Affairs Elder of the Sacred Family, Shen Ming.

"Director Yang, long time no see! Never thought that you would be interested in the martial tournament between a few families." Shen Ming said, smiling. His eyes flashed a hint of fear. He never would have thought that the Heavenly Marks Family would actually have the ability to call Director Yang and three other elders from the Alchemist Association over.

Although the Sacred Family was one of the three Major families, in the face of a powerful force like the Alchemist Association, they still had a deep fear for repercussions. Without mentioning others, the Sacred Family still had to buy a huge amount of elixirs from the Alchemist Association yearly. If the Alchemist Association were to suddenly reduce the Sacred Family's share, they would be greatly affected.

"I'm not interested towards the martial tournament. I'm only here to watch little brother Nie Li. I might even place a bet too. I heard that the Sacred Family is the banker this year." Yang Xin said, smiling.

Little brother Nie Li? Shen Ming's gaze swept across Nie Li's face, secretly thinking about the relationship between Nie Li and Yang Xin.

"Correct. We, the Sacred Family, are indeed the bankers this year. Director Yang is also interested to place one or two bets?" Shen Ming's expression stiffened for a moment. Who didn't know about the Alchemist Association being extremely rich now? Even if it was the Sacred Family, they couldn't afford to play with them.

"I'm just casually playing. My bet will be on little brother Nie Li alone. Main Affairs Ming, you don't have to worry about it, haha!" Yang Xin said, lightly laughing.

Nie Li's gaze looked towards Shen Ming, and then shifted onto Shen Fei beside Shen Ming. He saw that Shen Fei was using the vicious eyes of a snake to look at him. Not only was there hatred for stealing his fiancée, Shen Fei simply hated Nie Li to death. If it wasn't for Yang Xin backing him up, he would come up and bash Nie Li right now!

Nie Li totally ignored Shen Fei's vicious eyes, laughed and said "Haha! Young Master Shen, long time no see!" It was as if he wasn't aware of the grudges between them.
