Inside a room.
Xiao Ning er is currently sitting cross-legged on top of her bed. In front of her was the piece of paper given to her by Nie li this morning.
She didn't know what to do with it and why she even accepted it in the first place. This made her confused on what to do.
" Should I believe him? But, how did he know about my condition? I didn't tell anyone about my condition at all, not even my father. Also, who is Nie li and why is he trying to help me? " she asked herself in a low voice.
Xiao Ning er was so shocked when she first saw what's written on that paper and became both greatful and suspicious towards Nie li. It's more on suspicious side though because she didn't know his motive at all. Her guards are also preventing her from believing anyone aside from herself alone.
She didn't know if she will believe what Nie li said in that letter or not. Or if it's even true or not. After thinking about it for awhile, she still don't know what to do so she folded the paper once again and returned it back to her storage ring before she continue cultivating.
...
In the Sacred Family.
* Bang! *
" What did you say?!! Investigate this case immediately and solve it before the Patriarch will come out from his cultivation. Also, that kid named Nie li, I also want to know everything about him. You may go but remember, do it all secretly. Understand? "
" Yes Elder. " replied the man kneeling in one knee before standing up and left.
' Just who dared to hurt the young master? ' said that person before continuing what his doing before.
...
" Nie li! Wait for me! "
While he's busy looking around the market in front of the institute, Nie li suddenly heard someone calling him from behind. Turning his head around, he saw that it's someone he recognized.
" You know me? " asked Nie li curiously. If he remembered it correctly, the two of them shouldn't know each other yet so he was a bit surprised why this guy recognized him.
" Of course I know you. I was nearby and heard it when you told your name to vice principal earlier. My name is Lu Piao by the way, nice to meet you. "
" Oh, so you're Lu Paio huh. Nice to meet you too. " greeted Nie li back before asking, " So, what do you need from me? I'm quite busy so make it fast. "
" Eh? Oh. Sorry, I only came to asked you about what happened earlier and.. and to say hello too. "
" About what happened earlier? I don't know what you are talking about. What do you mean? "
" Stop acting. I didn't see it but I have a feeling that you're the one who did that to Shen Yue. You did it right? Right? "
" Stupid. You're imagining things. How can I possibly do that huh? "
" You didn't? Really? Then... then who do you think did it? "
" * sigh * It's like this, I don't care whether you believe me or not, understand? Do please don't bother me unless you want to become my underling. " said Nie li before continuing his shopping.
" Hey, don't be like that. I'll try to believe you okay? What are you buying by the way? "
" Food. "
" Just food? "
" Other things that you don't have to know too so get lost. Don't bother me. "
" Hey, why are you so indifferent huh? You're so suspicious you know that? And it's not cool. "
" Suspicious my ass. I'm always like this. Here, eat this so you'll shut up for a moment. " said Nie li as he put a huge chunk of meat on Lu Piao's mouth.
He then continue buying the things he needed after that. Lu Piao still followed behind him but didn't say anything as he's too busy eating the food Nie li gave him.
After buying all the things he need, Nie li turned his head around and saw that Lu Piao is still following him.
" What are you doing? Enjoying being my tail now? Or, do you really intend to become my underling? "
" Shut up. I want to do this. What can you do about it huh? " replied Lu Piao said in an unsatisfied tone. He didn't really want to follow him like this but Nie li's attitude somewhat pissed him off so he want to annoy him a bit. He also completely ignored the 'underling' part.
" Suit yourself then. " said Nie li as he continue walking back to his dormitory. He's too lazy dealing with this guy.
Arriving in front of his room, Nie li turned around and said, " Don't tell me you still plan to follow me inside? You're not a gay right? Or, are you? "
His answer clearly made Lu Piao upset as he pointed at finger at him and said, " You....you! Stop saying nonsense! I'll go now. "
Lu Piao was about to leave after he said that when suddenly, someone grabbed his clothes and the next time he noticed, he's already flying inside Nie li's room.
Nie li also went inside and closed the door.
" Arg. My butt.... Help! Help! Someone help me! I'm being rape! " shouted Lu Piao after recovering from his shock.
" Haha. Shout all you want dumbass. No one can here you from the outside. Here, take this. " said Nie li as he throw a piece of crystal to Lu Piao and added, " Inject your soul force in it. "
What's this? Isn't this the Soul Crystal we had during our entrance exam? Where did you get this? "
" Of course I bought it. So start injecting your soul force in it before I'll loose my patience. "
" Huh? And why would I do what you said huh? " said Lu Piao but he still did what Nie li said and injected his soul force in it.
" Oh, so it's still similar to the canon. " commented Nie li after seeing the color of the soul crystal in Lu Piao's hand.
" What do you mean? What canon? What are you talking about? "
" Never mind that. Do you want to get stronger or not? "
" Get stronger? Of course I want to get stronger. My dream is to become a Silver Rank Demon Spiritualist. That way, I won't be beaten up by my dad. Hahahah. "
"..."
Despite knowing about his personality. Nie li is still surprised on how small this guy's dream is. He can't use him like this.
Grabbing Lu Piao on his shoulder, Nie li lifted him up and without any warning, he kicked him on his stomach.
* Bam *
Lu Piao flew back and hit the wall. He looks so pitiful and messed up at this moment.
" Ugh. Cough cough. You!!! Cough."
He soon started to puke blood as he looked at Nie li in both confusion and anger. Lu Piao can't understand why did Nie li hit him all of a sudden.
But Nie li ignored him as he stepped forward and started hitting him once again.
* Bam *
* Bam *
* Bang *
Nie li continue hitting him like that till Lu Paio can't move any part of his body anymore. Only then did he stopped hitting him. Stepping on his face, Nie li asked, " How was it huh? Is it fun to be weak? To be beaten like this like a dog, is it fun? Are you angry? So what if you're angry? Do you want to hit me back? Can you even do that with your pitifull strength? You can't right? Because you are weak. So weak! In front of me, you are no better than an ant that I can crushed anytime I want. Silver Rank Demon Spiritualist? Are you planning to become that useless? If that's the case, then why don't you just let me end your useless life now and take a rest? I'm sure you'll be happier that way right? Also, I can help lessen the trash people in this world by killing you. Mn. That will be very helpful for sure. "
Hearing all of that, tears started to flow from Lu Piao's eyes. He still don't understand why Nie li is doing all of this. What's wrong with being Silver Rank Demon Spiritualist? Isn't that the dream of many people in Glory City but can't even reach it. So, what's wrong with it? What's wrong with him dreaming to be like that? Why did Nie li became angry and started hitting him after he said that?
He first wanted to stop him and asked him why but Lu Piao soon realized that he cannot. He can't even see how Nie li was hitting him because he's so fast! Realizing that resisting is futile, he just let him do what he want and let himself be beaten up by Nie li. This is the first time Lu Piao genuinely wish for power.
Lying on the ground with Nie li's right foot stepping on his face, Lu Paio tried his best to look at him and said, " W... w. hy? Cough. Cough. "
Nie li didn't reply. Instead, he removed his foot on Lu Piao's face and bent down his knees before picking him up and helped him sat down while leaning on the wall. He then took out the huge wooden bucket full of water before pouring a bottle of medicines in it. The water turned blue after the medicine completely mixed with it.
Nie li then picked Lu Piao up and tossed him inside the huge wooden bucket of medicine without hesitation.
' I'm dead. ' That's what Lu Piao's last thoughts before loosing his consciousness. He thought that Nie li planned to drown him.
Nie li just sat down on the side waiting for Lu Paio to wake up. He wasn't worried at all that he will drown because he sealed some of his acupuncture points before tossing him inside.
Time passed by just like that and after another hour, a small ripple appeared on top of the water before Lu Paio's body came out of it.
Nie li opened his eyes and looked at him before saying, " So you're awake huh. Not bad, not bad. "
