Chapter 9 : Shut up.

" Arctic Disease. That's the cause of all the pain you are suffering upto now, Ning er. There's a book about that here so you can look at it if you still don't believe me. " said Nie li while his eyes are looking at Xiao Ning er, observing her reactions.

Xiao Ning er is also staring back at him, doing the same before finally saying, " No need. I'll choose to believe you, Nie li. "

Ye Ziyun on the other hand is still cautious. " Ning er, don't be so hasty. Let's... we... we should look for it first right? "

" It's okay Ziyun. I know what I am doing. " insisted Xiao Ning er. She still don't know how Nie li knows about her condition but that's already enough to know that he's capable. If what he said about her condition is true and that he can really help her, then she's willing to take the risk. " Can you, tell me how did I get this disease, Nie li? "

" Mn. By training at night, it would often lead to chilled air entering the body, blocking the veins. It especially happened to those who haven't reached Bronze Rank yet but was already training at night. You're doing the same right? That's why I told you earlier that you.... are killing yourself. " said Nie li to casually but it brought a very big shocked to both Xiao Ning er and Ye Ziyun. The Arctic Disease would, in light cases, cause the person to get seriously ill, and in serious cases, it would cause the body to explode. A certain death indeed. "

Tears started falling from Ye Ziyun's eyes once again. She stood up from his chair and went to Xiao Ning er's side before hugging her tightly. As if afraid that her friend will disappear if she let go. " No. I won't accept that. I will never let that happen. I... I will ask father and grandpa for help. I'm sure they know someone that can help Ning er. "

Xiao Ning er on the other hand has a blank expression on her face. This is just a very big blow for her. She didn't expect that the hard work she's doing for a long time now, the only hope she have to free herself will backfire and cause her a very big trouble instead. ' Why am I so unfortunate? ' she thought to herself.

* Sigh *

" Why are you crying again, Purple hair? What a waste of that adorable face. " said Nie li before looking at Xiao Ning er and added, " Your illness is curable so you don't to feel down, Ning er. "

" Really?! " exclaimed both of the girls.

" Yes. As I've said before, there's a book here about your disease along with its cure. Too bad because it's written in ancient language so I doubt you can read them so I'll just say it. The way to cure you is by using the Daoyin technique. "

" Daoyin Technique? What's that Nie li? "

" It's a kind of massage with the use of Soul Force. It must be used to massage the affected areas, to dissipate the bruise and also, medicines made from combining Golden Striped Grass with Imperial Sky Grass must be consumed daily. With your situation, for roughly a month or so before you will be healed. "

" I... I'll help get those herbs immediately but... but the Daoyin Technique, do.. do you know how to do it, Nie li? " asked Ye Ziyun. Hearing that Ning er can be cured of course made her happy and excited.

" Mn. I can do it. I'm also willing to help Ning er here but.. "

" But what? " asked Ziyun once again. " As long as you can help Ning er, I... I'll owe you a favor. As long as it's not bad, I'll do anything. "

" Me too Nie li. " added Xiao Ning er seriously.

" I don't need you two to owe me. I want other things. " said Nie li as he began shaking his head. " What I want is for you two to..to...shut up. "

"..."

"..."

" I don't mean that one. I mean, I want you two to keep everything that happened here a secret. You have to promise that you won't tell anyone about me or what I did here. If you can do all of that, then I will help Ning er. But if not, then you two can go now. "

" That... only that? Are you sure, Nie li? " asked Ye Ziyun.

Xiao Ning er is also the same but she didn't say anything and just waited for Nie li to speak.

" Mn. That's all I want. How was it? Not hard to do right? "

" That... that's right. But... isn't that.. "

" It's fine, it's fine. I still have another plan for tonight so let's make this quick. Can you promise it or not? If not, then I'll go now. " said Nie li, cutting off whatever Ye Ziyun wanted to say.

The two girls in front of him was indeed beautiful. No, very beautiful despite their young age. Very attractive indeed.

But Nie li knows his priorities. He knows that he didn't have time for that kind thing yet and That there's a lot of time in the future if he wanted to do that.

For now, what he wanted to do is to reached Legend Rank Fighter body as soon as possible so he can finally start cultivating his Soul Force.

Xiao Ning er and Ye Ziyun seems to noticed something so they stopped whatever they was about to say and just answered, " Mn. I promise, I won't tell anyone about you and this conversation, Nie li. "

" Me too. I also promise to do the same. " added, Ye Ziyun.

" Good. Although it's just a verbal promise but I'll choose to trust your words so I hope you won't disappoint me. " said Nie li before putting his hands inside his pocket and took out something that was covered in clean blue fabric. He put it in front of Xiao Ning er and added, " Take this Ning er. These herbs are more effective than those herbs that I've mentioned before. I'm sure you'll notice the difference once you tried it. "

" This paper contains the methods to prepare them and the right amount you have to take everyday so keep it. "

Xiao Ning er stared at the herbs Nie li put in front of her before saying, " Nie li, I believe you and don't mean to be rude but... how much are this herbs? "

" Eh? Why are you asking? Just keep it. "

" But.... this herbs looks expensive and they are fresh too. I.. I heard you saying before that your family is.... is a bit tight on money so... "

" Hmm.... How considerate of you Ning er, you're really kind. But don't worry about it because I got these herbs for free so you don't have to pay for them. "

" I'm... I'm not kind, I'm just being... rea-.. "

" Enough already, just take it. Consider it as my gift to you. Besides, these herbs will only suppress your illness and not healing it so it's really no big deal. " said Nie li, cutting whatever she's about to say again. He still have to meet with Lu Paio later so he has to hurry here a bit.

" Only suppressing it? "

" That's right, so you have to look for me again after 2 weeks. That time, I'll completely heal you. I can't do it now because as you can see, my soul force is so weak so I can't. The method to cure your disease in called Daoyin Technique, there's a book here about it so you can look for it too if you want. " explained Nie li. Although he can cure Xiao Ning er's illness right now, he chose not to do it because he has different plan for her.

" Two weeks...okay. I will look for you again in two weeks, Nie li. Thank you. "

" Mn. Don't mention it. " said Nie li before turning his head to Ye Ziyun and added, " Now, time for the consolation promise I told you earlier, Ziyun. Come closer. "

" Eh? Wha... what do you mean? " asked Ye Ziyun confusedly but she still did what he said. " Like this? "

" Mn. That's enough. " agreed Nie li. He then lifted his right hand and put it on her forehead before applying a bit of his soul force. " Done. "

Ye Ziyun's eyes opened wide in shocked after that. She can't believe what she just saw inside her mind.

Information!

An information, no. A cultivation technique suddenly appeared inside her mind and for some reason, she memorized it immediately just like that! " This.... how... how did you do that? "

" Haha. It's secret. " replied Nie li, not answering her questions at all. He turned his his to Xiao Ning er and said, " Avoid cultivating at night for now, Ning er until I healed you completely. Can you do that? "

A disappointed and helpless expression appeared on Xiao Ning er's face after she heard that but she still answered, " Okay. I promised. "

" Good. I have to go now. " Nie li stood up after he said that. When he reached behind Ning er, he stopped and leaned his head closer to her ear and whispered something which made her so shocked.

" That's all, see you next time. " said Nie li before going out of the library leaving the two girls there still shocked.

" Ning er, who do you think is Nie li? He's so... mysterious.. right? " asked Ye Ziyun after awhile.

" Mn. But... I think he is not a bad person. " replied Xiao Ning er. 'Just who are you, Nie li? ' she asked herself.
