Chapter 305: The Fire God Sect's Ye Clan

For some reason, seeing Xiao Ning'er's smile, Ye Xuan felt his heart skip a beat.

In the distance, Nie Li's gaze also fell upon Xiao Ning'er and Xiao Xue. Ning'er seemed even more beautiful than before!

Xiao Ning'er quickened her pace, striding toward Nie Li in just a few steps.

"Ning'er!" Nie Li smiled softly. After months apart, he still missed Ning'er dearly.

Tears glistened in Xiao Ning'er's eyes. She suddenly surged forward and threw herself into Nie Li's arms. Only when she felt his presence did she finally feel safe and secure.

Nie Li was taken aback for a moment, then patted Xiao Ning'er's shoulder and asked with concern, "Did someone bully you at the Heavenly Sound Sect? If anyone did, I'll take care of them for you!"

"No." Xiao Ning'er wiped the tears from her face and looked up at Nie Li. During her time at the Heavenly Sound Sect, she had constantly thought of him. Seeing Nie Li now filled her with joy! "How has it been for you at the Feather God Sect?"

"Pretty good." Nie Li smiled faintly. He wasn't sure how to describe it—there had been good and bad. But for someone who had experienced life and death in his previous life, what happened at the Feather God Sect was nothing more than child's play.

Xiao Ning'er's beauty made nearly every woman in the side hall feel jealous. Dressed in a flowing white gown, she was delicate and enchanting beyond measure.

Nie Li and Xiao Ning'er chatted as if no one else was around, unaware that everyone nearby was casting complicated glances their way.

"Who is that young man?"

"You don't know? He's the most dazzling genius among this year's newcomers—the Nie Li who even brought Long Yuyin to heel!"

"So it's him!"

From the very beginning, Xiao Ning'er had attracted everyone's attention. She was like a goddess—untouchable and aloof. But now, everyone realized that she was already spoken for, and the man was none other than Nie Li!

At this moment, the crowd in the hall wore various expressions.

Long Yuyin's gaze fell upon Xiao Ning'er in the distance. She had to admit—Xiao Ning'er's nobility and beauty made her feel somewhat inadequate by comparison. Who was this girl to Nie Li? For some reason, a hint of irritation stirred in her heart. She raised a cup of wine and drained it in one gulp.

Li Xingyun watched the scene with a faint smile. Nie Li had quietly traded quite a few things with him, greatly strengthening his position. He valued his partnership with Nie Li more and more. Since Nie Li had such abilities, it was hardly surprising that a couple of beautiful girls would be by his side.

When Murong Yu saw that it was Nie Li, his eyes narrowed slightly, a cold glint shooting from them. He hadn't expected to run into Nie Li here—truly, enemies were bound to cross paths. At a gathering like this, suppressing Nie Li wouldn't be easy. He had heard before that Xiao Ning'er came from the Small Spiritual World and had his suspicions, but he never expected that she was actually Nie Li's woman.

Watching Xiao Ning'er throw herself into Nie Li's arms, Ye Xuan couldn't help but smile bitterly. No wonder Xiao Xue hadn't given him so much as a glance along the way—she had already given her heart to someone else.

"Senior Brother Ye Xuan, it seems this Xiao Ning'er has long been spoken for," Murong Yu said with a light smile, glancing at Ye Xuan.

"Then so be it." Ye Xuan sighed. Though he admired Xiao Ning'er, he wasn't so infatuated that he couldn't live without her. If she already had someone in her heart, he could only step aside.

"Brother Ye Xuan seems to lack a bit of nerve. That Nie Li hasn't even reached the Heavenly Fate Realm, has no family background to speak of—he's nothing more than a smooth talker who deceives innocent girls. And you're already backing down!" Murong Yu chuckled.

"Oh? He hasn't even reached the Heavenly Fate Realm?" Ye Xuan was somewhat puzzled. How could such a young man have won the heart of a prodigy like Xiao Ning'er?

Nie Li was clearly unworthy of Xiao Ning'er!

Though he noticed the strange looks from those around him, Nie Li couldn't have cared less. In his eyes, they were nothing more than passersby.

Glancing to the side, he saw that Xiao Xue was already scolding Lu Piao. Nie Li couldn't help but smile slightly—those two adversaries had crossed paths again.

"This is my friend, Gu Bei." Nie Li introduced him to Xiao Ning'er.

"Hello, sister-in-law," Gu Bei said with a cheeky grin.

At his words, Xiao Ning'er's face flushed crimson. Her cheeks burning, she glanced up at Nie Li but didn't dispute the title, simply responding softly, "Hello."

Gu Bei realized—this was practically a done deal.

The group headed toward an empty table in the corner.

"Is Ziyun not coming?" Nie Li asked Xiao Ning'er in a low voice.
