Chapter 8 : Conversing.

" I... I... why would I listen to you? We don't even know each other. Hmmp! " replied Ye Ziyun after thinking about it for a moment.

Nie li didn't show any disappointed expression on his face. Instead, he took another bite on the roasted beef on his hand and said, " Oh, too bad then. And here I was about to tell you something important about that orange haired girl over there. Forget it then. "

His words made Ye Ziyun's stopped as she turned around to looked at him again before saying, " You.... wha...what do you mean? What do you want to tell me? Are you talking about Ning er? "

" Eh? Aren't you not interested? So never mind it. It's not important after all. Worse comes to worst, you will not see her ever again. "

Nie li took another bite on the meat on his hands after he finished saying that. But Ye Ziyun ignored his barbarian like eating habit.

Ye Ziyun's body trembled after hearing what he said. She became so scared. Although she didn't know if Nie li is telling her the truth or not, she still can't help but to be worried for Xiao Ning er.

Ye Ziyun sat down beside him and asked, " Wha...what do you mean about that? Tell me. What do you mean about that? What do you know about Ning er? "

" Relax, let's eat our food first. There's plenty of time left. I'll tell you about it later. Oh, by the way, I'm Nie li. Nice to meet you. "

" I... I'm Ye Ziyun. Nice... nice to meet you too Nie li. Can... can you tell me what you know about Ning er first? Please? "

* sigh *

" Fine. It's actually lik-.. "

" STOP! "

A sudden shout suddenly came from Xiao Ning er's direction.

Both Nie li and Ye Ziyun turned their heads around and saw Xiao Ning er walking towards them. She's wearing an angry expression on her youthful face and pretty face while she's staring daggers to Nie li.

" You...what are you planning to tell her? Why are you even telling her that? " said Xiao Ning er to Nie li before turning her head to Ye Ziyun and said, " You too Ziyun. Please, stop bothering me. "

Tears started to flow from Ye Ziyun's eyes after hearing that. She felt extreme sadness at this moment but can't say anything because she knows that Xiao Ning er's words are right.

" Hey, what are you talking about? Do you even know what I am about to tell her? " asked Nie li. His question made Xiao Ning er even more angrier.

" You!! Stop pretending! "

Nie li stare at her for awhile without saying anything before...

* sigh *

" Fine. I'm sorry for meddling with your business. I won't say anything anymore after this. But, I want to tell that you are ...killing yourself. " said Nie li before turning his head to Ye Ziyun and added, " I'm sorry classmate Ye Ziyun but it seems like I can't tell you about it anymore. But as a compensation, I have something to give you later in the library but I'll keep it secret for now. You can come if you want or also not if you don't but I'll still be waiting there. See you later okay? "

Nie li then handed a small piece of clean cloth to Ye Ziyun to wipe her tears after saying that which she unconsciously received. Only then did Nie li stood up and returned to his seat.

Xiao Ning er and Ye Ziyun on the other hand didn't move immediately. Their minds are both filled with their own thoughts as they try to figure out something from what Nie li told them earlier.

After awhile, they also returned to their seats.

Shen Xiu and their other classmates also returned soon and the class continued.

...

Around 4:30 pm, the class ended.

" Lu Piao, I might come late later but just wait for me there. Is that okay? " said Nie li as he patted Lu Piao on his left shoulder.

" It's fine, I can wait. But.. how about the... you know? "

" Oh, tell them to wait too. You guys can do anything you want there as long as you won't make the place messy. Because if you did, hehe you'll find out later. "

Lu Piao's body trembled in fear after hearing that but she still answered immediately.

" Okay then. See you later, Nie li. "

" Mn. See you later then. " said Nie li before separating with him and head towards the Library.

Before coming out, he saw both Ye Ziyun and Xiao Ning er still sitting on their chairs whole avoiding to make any eye contact with him. Perhaps they still don't know what to do even at this moment.

And Nie li wasn't concerned about it. A little perhaps.

This is the last chance he planned to give them for the time being. After this, he won't bother with them anymore or much better to say that he can't because he will be busy trying to break through to Legend Rank Fighter body. Which will definitely take a lot of time. In his estimate, he need around two to three weeks for that. And that only because he has all of the things he needed to break through.

* sigh *

' If only I have enough soul force to concoct high grade pills. ' Nie li thought to himself.

....

After arriving inside the Library, Nie li tried to look around the place. He saw plenty of books there especially the old looking ones. He picked up on of the books available and opened it. "

" Hmm... as expected, it's written in an ancient language. ' At least it will help me to pass time. ' he thought.

With the old book on his hand, Nie li walked towards the available table and sat down there. After that, he took out a bunch of thin sheep's skin and a pen before getting busy.

He planned to translate that old book into Glory City's language.

....

Around thirty minutes after he started doing that, without stopping his hand or turning his head around, Nie li said, "What are you standing there for? Take your seat. I'll be done here in a few more minutes. "

Ye Ziyun and Xiao Ning er was obviously surprised to hear what he said but they till sat down on both side of the table and looked at what Nie li is doing.

" Classmate Nie li, what are you doing? " asked Ye Ziyun.

" I'm translating this book. Perhaps someone will find it useful in the future. " answered Nie li in a nonchalant tone.

" Translating!? You... you know how to read ancient language, classmate Nie li? "

" Yes. "

" Wow! That's amazing. "

" It's not that amazing. I can teach you if you want Ziyun. Can I call you that? "

" En. It's fine. Nie li. " said Ye Ziyun. She also decided to not be too formal.

The two of them then started to converse with each other after that. The book was a bit thick but for Nie li, it's not a problem. His hands are moving too fast with an incredible speed and just like what he said, he was done a few minutes later.

" Done. " said Nie li as he put down the pen on the table before looking at the two girls and said, " I didn't expect that the two of you will come together. But that's better, now, tell me what you want to know first? "

Xiao Ning er, whom had stayed silent for the whole time was the the first one to speak up and asked, " Please tell me what do you mean earlier. "

Her words are short but Nie li fully understood what she meant by that.

" Are you sure? Is it fine to you if Ziyun here will get to know about that? " asked Nie li as he gestured towards Ye Ziyun.

Xiao Ning er looked at Ye Ziyun for a moment before turning her head to Nie li and nodded before saying, " It's fine. "

Ye Ziyun's eyes clearly lit up after hearing that. She can't help but be emotional as she looked at Xiao Ning er sitting in front of her.

" Ning er you... tha...thank you. * sniff * Thank you. " said Ye Ziyun.

What Ye Ziyun didn't know was that, Xiao Ning er was feeling guilty on what she said to her earlier. And after seeing the sad expression on Ye Ziyun's face, she can't take it anymore. She might had tried her best to avoid her and cut every connections to her but that doesn't mean that Xiao Ning er didn't care for Ye Ziyun anymore. Seeing her crying like that also hurts her a lot so she decided to let her know about her condition this time.

Nie li's words earlier about her killing herself helped a lot too of course.

" I see. It's nice to see you to get along like this. Well then, I'll tell you. Ning er, if you won't receive any proper treatment, you... will die soon. " said Nie li. Beating around the bush wasn't his forte so he decided to go straight to the point.

He exaggerate it a bit of course because he wanted to make sure that this stubborn girl won't deny her treatment.

His words definitely shocked the two girls.

" Nie.. Nie li... wha.....what are you talking about? You're lying right? * sniff * Tell me you're lying. " said Ye Ziyun emotionally.

Xiao Ning er on the other hand just stared at him with a blank expression on her face. This was a very big hit for her. She don't want to believe him and hope that he's only lying but..

" At night, aren't you suffering from the pain on both of your legs? Just like as if they were... burning? " said Nie li.

His words made Xiao Ning er even more shocked and her body trembled.

" Not only that. At midnight, you feel so cold like as if there's a snow storm inside your body and... hmm.. your body should have bruises in certain areas too. Am I right? " added Nie li.
