Chapter 22: Silly woman.

" Let's go, Ning er, Ziyun. This place isn't appropriate for your.... let's go to other place. " Nie Li changed his words midway as he didn't want others to know about Xiao Ning er's condition. " Oh, by the way, Young master Chen, I know you guys are here for adventure and to look for treasures but I suggest you guys will go back to Glory City now. This place isn't safe. "

" Isn't safe? " Chen Linjian became confused. " What do you mean, Brother Nie Li? "

This world really is bizarre. Strength is everything here. The stronger you are, the better treatment you will receive. Chen Linjian's way of addressing Nie Li also visibly changed from Little brother to Brother Nie Li after he showed a little of his strength.

Instead of answering, Nie Li looked at the people around them and shake his head.

Understanding what he meant, Chen Linjian walked closer to Nie Li. " Can you tell me now, Brother Nie Li? "

" En. The Dark Guild people are here and there's quite a lot of them. " Nie Li whispered to Chen Linjian.

" The Dark Guild? Is that true? " Chen Linjian frowned. This is something that he has to take seriously. " Can you tell me how strong they are? I also brought some experts with me, will they suffice? "

" Negative. " Nie Li answered straight. He didn't even bothered looking at Chen Linjian's people before answering, " They are at most 15 of them, all Silver Rank Demon Spiritualist and Fighters. Their leader alone is already 5 Star Silver Rank Demon Spiritualist. You and your people don't stand a chance at all, Young master Chen. "

Early this morning, while Nie Li was looking for a good place to bury those skeletons he got from the underground hall, he did encountered these people from the Dark Guild. But he's not in the mood to fight them at that time so he didn't show himself but only sent them a huge monkey as a gift.

Nie Li knows that if he killed those guys, the Dark Guild will just send more, so why bother? Dark guild consider those guys as disposable so killing them won't hurt the guild but alerting those sneaky guys will only bring trouble for him which he didn't want. Although Nie Li isn't afraid of them, he's afraid of trouble.

" That strong? " Chen Linjian was obviously surprised to hear that. If what Nie Li said was true then they are really in deep danger right now as the highest cultivation of his people is only at 3 Star Silver Rank. That's the best he can get considering that he only sneaked out, he didn't tell his family about this trip at all. " I understand, brother Nie Li. Thank you for telling me this, I owe you one. "

" Young master Chen is to polite. We will take our leave first then. " Nie Li is only telling them this out of good will, it's really not a big deal. He gave a glanced to both Ye Ziyun and Xiao Ning er before he started walking away. " Let's go. "

The two girls followed him from behind.

" We will spent the night near here, brother Nie Li and will go back to Glory City next morning. If you can join us tonight, that will be for the best. " Chen Linjian cupped his hand and said while looking at the three figures in the distance.

He's a bit worried for the safety of the City Lord's daughter and wanted to send at least to of his followers to protect her but, it's not like he can stop her right? Will Ye Ziyun even listen to him?

" I'll also go with them, Chen bro. See you later. " a female with a fiery figure said to Chen Linjian. She's looking at the direction Nie Li, Xiao Ning er and Ye Ziyun had gone to with her bright eyes.

" Lan Ruo, you... " Chen Linjian's body shriveled hearing that voice. " Consider it as me begging you, don't cause trouble. "

He know this girl very well as they were quite close with each other although not in a romantic way but as friends. Chen Linjian knows that this girl will bring trouble wherever she went, that's for sure. What if she will offend Nie Li?

" So rude, Chen bro. Do you think that a pretty girl like me can cause trouble? "

" Yes, you definitely will... " Chen Linjian nodded seriously.

" So rude! " Huyan Lan Ruo harrumphed. " Whatever. I will still go with them, see you later Chen Bro. "

With that, Huyan Lan Ruo left without looking back. Chen Linjian can only shake his head helplessly. " I hope you really won't. " he muttered.

Chen Linjian can't help but feel sympathy for Nie Li. Catching Huyan Lan Ruo's eyes isn't a good thing at all because although this woman has an appearance of a beautiful flower, she is full of thorns! This kind of woman is one of the most difficult to tame. Better to stay away as far as you can if you saw her.

.....

Sitting on a huge branch of a tree, Nie Li is watching those two girls below being surrounded by 6 Demon Rabbits.

" Grrrah! "

One of the Demon Rabbits howled before jumping left and right pouncing towards Ye Ziyun. Its sharp teeths and claws are coming for her.

Ye Ziyun readied herself and held her small dagger firmly. She's fully prepared to receive that attack.

Puchi.

A quite deep slash wound appeared on the demon rabbit's stomach as it was thrown backwards.

Wew~

Nie Li whistled. He didn't expect this kind looking girl to be this good at handling her weapon.

" You can't! " Using her small knife, Xiao Ning er intercepted the other Demon rabbit that tried to sneak at Ye Ziyun. The Demon rabbit fell on the ground as it's blood started coming out of its wound. Xiao Ning er then send it flying with a kick before turning to her sister. " Are you okay, Ziyun? "

" En. Thank you Ning er. " Ye Ziyun's face was red due to embarrassment. " I'm sorry, I got distracted..... "

This Demon Rabbit isn't even a Bronze Rank Beast, it's very weak. But they know how to use their small bodies to sneak attack their opponents. She almost got injured if not for Ning er.

" You're welcome. Let's finished them now? " Xiao Ning er said with a smile.

" En. Let's do it! "

The two girls then took the initiative to attack this time and after 10 minutes, they finally killed the remaining demon rabbits.

" Yay! " they cheered before slumping on the ground, tired.

" Good job, I thought you girls are some spoiled young lady's at first. " Nie Li laughing said as he jumped down from the tree and started walking towards them.

Both Ye Ziyun and Xiao Ning er pouted their lips, unsatisfied.

" You're looking down on us? Humph! " Ye Ziyun turned her head to the side.

Ning er on the other hand, continue looking at Nie Li didn't know what to do. She wants to get angry at him too but she realized that she cannot.

What's going on? What's wrong with me?

" If only you are not stubborn and started practicing the cultivation method in gave you, then dealing with those demon rabbits should be a breeze. " said Nie Li. " Don't worry about Ning er because I have a lot of ways to make her catch up to you anytime. "

Although he said that, Nie Li really did appreciate this kind character of Ye Ziyun. She's even willing to suppress her cultivation just to wait for Ning er to get healed first. Nie Li didn't know if she's just kind hearted or dumb.

" Don't be so harsh to Ziyun, Nie Li. She's just being considerate towards me. " Ning er said.

" Ning er... " Ye Ziyun was touched by Ning er, taking her side. She really didn't misjudged this sister of hers.

A couple of hours has passed by since they separated with Chen Linjian's group. Nie Li didn't cure Xiao Ning er's illness immediately but instead let them fight the weaker Demon Beast they encounter to train them. There's no rush.

Besides, he also noticed someone that was following them. Using his Divine Sense that can cover a few hundred meters, Nie Li recognized who it was and was a bit surprised. He didn't expect this girl to follow them till here without showing herself.

" Silly woman. " he muttered.
