Chapter 7 : Purple hair.

The next day.

Holy Orchid Institute, Fighter Apprentice Class.

Nie li sitting at the back part of the classroom. He is currently looking at Xiao Ning er, observing her, trying to find something out.

* Sigh *

" Well, it's not like I expected anything. At least I tried and since you choose not to believe me then, it's not my fault anymore. Or, is it my fault for not putting more effort and explaining even further? Hmm... what to do then? Let's see... " said Nie li in a low voice as he began contemplating his future plans.

Nie li decided to leave Xiao Ning er's condition for now. He already tried once and it didn't work. He didn't have any extra time to babysit anyone for now. He have to reached Legend Rank Fighter body as soon as possible so he can finally start cultivating his soul force and nothing is more important than that. Helping others is one thing but he will never used all of his time doing it.

At least, that's what he thought...

Nie li then turned his head around before looking at Ye Ziyun whom is busy reading her book while also taking some quick glances to Xiao Ning er's direction from time to time.

' What is she? A stalker? ' thought Nie li while having a wry smile on his face.

If he didn't know these two girl's history, he will definitely think that was the case.

Looking around, Nie li saw that almost all of his classmates are already here aside from Shen Yue of course. That poor guy probably, no, definitely still unconscious and was lying on bed pitifully.

Based on the injury he had given that guy yesterday, Nie li doubts the possibility of Shen Yue recovering in less than a week. And this is a good news for Nie li. It will definitely save him some trouble because he didn't have to deal with him for now. As for the Sacred Family getting back at him, Nie li never cared about in the slightest. He didn't fear them. There's also the fact that no one knows who attacked Shen Yue.

What a joke. Worse comes to worst, he can just hide inside his personal garden or use the Divine Phaseless Fruit earlier. Nie li was already start collecting the things he needed to dilute the fruit after all so it can be taken by him despite his low level of cultivation.

But that's only serve as his last resort.

* Creak *

" Everyone be quite. " said Shen Xiu as she entered the room. Bad mood is clearly written on her face. Facing her students, she said, " As you already know, I'll be your teacher from now on so I have to introduce myself.

My name is Shen Xiu and I came from the Sacred Family. I am a 3 star Silver Rank Demon Spiritualist and this is my Demon Spirit.....

She then began introducing herself along with her strength, the Demon Spirit she integrated with and how powerful and great her family is. She didn't mention anything about what happened to her nephew yesterday.

" So you better know your limits while you are still young and don't bite more than you can chew. Not everyone can become a Dragon and Phoenix. " said Shen Xiu as she stared at the children from the commoner family. It's obvious that her words just now are meant for them.

Hearing till here, Nie li shook his head before slumping his face on his table and tried to sleep there.

Nie li was a bit surprised to see how some things still happened similarly to the canon despite a day difference in timeline. Perhaps some things are just bound to happen no matter what. And it seems like this busty woman is really destined to do and say those words that will hit the hope of the children from the commoner families.

But Nie li definitely isn't gonna listen to her talkshits as he chose to try sleeping instead.

" That's it for introductions. Today, I will teach you the basics about cultivation and the important things you must remember so you have to listen carefully and take notes. "

After saying that, Shen Xiu finally began her lesson.

Despite her arrogance, it can still be said that Shen Xiu is really knowledgeable( at least in Glory City's standards ).

...

" Do you have any questions so far? " asked Shen Xiu. She just finished discussing the first part so she stopped for awhile to answer their questions.

She's looking at her students when suddenly, Shen Xiu saw something that made her brows frown.

" You, at the back. Who told you that you can sleep here in my class? " said Shen Xiu while looking towards Nie li's direction.

The other students also did the same and a few of them are excited to see what will happen next.

Being ignored, Shen Xiu started walking towards Nie li and...

* Bam *

" I'm asking who told you that you can sleep here during my class! " she said after hitting Nie li's table to wake him up.

Nie li slowly lifted his head and sleepily looked at her before saying, " Oh, teacher Shen Xiu. Good morning. "

" Why are you sleeping? Do you find my lesson boring huh? " she said in an annoyed tone.

" Eh? No, it's not like that teacher Shen Xiu. Your lesson aren't boring. Your voice is just so sweet and it's like a music in my ears so it makes me felt a little sleepy. I can't help it. " answered Nie li. It's super easy for him think of some random bullshit like this in extreme speed.

His words made Shen Xiu speechless and don't know what to do. Nie li is already expecting this. He knows that every woman loves to receive compliments about themselves and that's true in every timeline or world.

She came here to make trouble to Nie li but those compliments just came so sudden and caught her unprepared. This made her confused and don't know what to do for a moment.

" Ehem. I will let this pass for now but there will be no next time got it? Better not attend my class if you'll just sleep all the time. " she said before turning around to continue her lesson.

"..."

The other students can't believe what they just saw. ' He was off the hook just like that? ' they thought.

" Haha. So easy. " said Nie li said in a low voice before fixing the way he's sitting and tried his best to pretend he's listening to her. Although he's reluctant, he have to do it as he doesn't want to go against this woman for now without reason.

' Why did I even came here today again? ' he asked himself. ' Oh, that's right. It was to see this orange girl. * sigh * What a wasted trip. Oh, it might not. ' he thought as he looked at the down faces of the children from the commoner families.

Nie li has an undetectable cunning smile on his face as he began plotting his next move.

...

The class slowly went by and it is now time for lunch break.

Nie li took out the roasted marinated beef he prepared earlier. He didn't plan to go outside to eat because he already has everything he need here.

After taking a few bites, he noticed Lu Piao standing in front of him.

" Oh, what a surprise. Do you need something, Lu Piao? I thought you are afraid of me. " asked Nie li teasingly.

" Can you really make me stronger? Even though I only have a red soul realm? " asked Lu Piao seriously.

Nie li was a bit surprised of this sudden change. Perhaps the beating he gave him yesterday was really effective.

" Of course I can. But it still depends on your efforts. As long as you're willing to persevere, then I can make you strong. "

" I'm willing. I don't want be weak anymore. I don't want to slack off anymore. I'll prove to everyone that I can become a dragon even though my talent is poor. So, please help me, Boss Nie li. " said Lu Piao before cupping his hands.

" Oh, so you're willing to become my underling now? "

" Yes! As long as you can help me become strong, I'll do anything. "

" Hahahah. Interesting, Lu Piao. Fine. I'll accept you. But you don't have to call me boss or something. Just call me Nie li and that's fine. Come to my dorm later after school and I'll give you something useful. But before that,..... " Nie li then whispered something on Lu Piao's ears.

" Mn. I understand, Nie li. I will do it. See you later. "

" Go on, go on. And good luck. " replied Nie li as he looked at the back of the now parting Lu Piao.

After he can't see him anymore, Nie li continue eating the meat on his hand.

There's around five students that also inside the classroom aside from Nie li and they all brought their food with them.

Xiao Ning er and Ye Ziyun was among them.

" Ning.... Ning er, can... can I sit here so.... so we can eat our food together? " asked Ye Ziyun as she stand in front of Xiao Ning er's table.

...

But Xiao Ning er didn't answer her making the atmosphere awkward and after waiting for awhile, Ye Ziyun sighed and decided to go back to her seat sadly.

" Hey, purple hair, you can sit here and eat with me. " said Nie li inviting Ye Ziyun. He didn't know why but he can't help saying those words after seeing that sad and helpless expression on her face.

Ye Ziyun was clearly surprised as she didn't expect Nie li to say that. She want to decline his offer and say no but before she can say anything, Nie li is already miraculously standing in front of her.

" You...when?.... how?! " said Ye Ziyun in shocked tone. She clearly saw Nie li sitting a few meters away from her but suddenly, he was already in front of her!

Good thing no one saw it aside from Ye Ziyun because Nie li made sure they can't. He used the little time they aren't looking to move as fast as he can.

" Come on, sit down sit down. I want to tell you something too. " said Nie li as he invited her to take a seat beside him.
