Chapter 501: Chapter 312: Nianjun Frustrated, Mountain Map, Wen Caishang Delighted, Visiting the Talisman Master

Li Xian knew that Gu Nianjun had excellent Lightweight Skill, and if he insisted on following, it would not be easy to shake him off. If he had the ’Snow Beast’s fur’ draped over him and then used the Panyan Step, it would be a different story. He leapt up onto a tree branch, aiming his bow from a high position, and said lightly, "If you keep following, I’ll shoot."

Gu Nianjun immediately halted and didn’t dare to provoke him, feeling quite wronged inside, and said, "Young hero, please come down and talk for a moment." Li Xian frowned and said, "I don’t have time, please leave, I still need to hunt."

Gu Nianjun took a step closer, and an arrow immediately shot in front of him. Gu Nianjun’s brows furrowed, realizing this person was difficult to interact with, but thought it was his own fault for deceiving and teasing first, making him angry.

Gu Nianjun said, "If the young hero is angry about earlier, Nianjun apologizes here." Li Xian asked, "You woman, so strange, I don’t know you, what do you want with me?"

Gu Nianjun, bashful, said, "Though you may not know me, young hero, I know you, and am quite curious and admiring of you." Li Xian sneered, "Curious and admiring? Would someone from such a grand family as you also admire others? I, this poor wretch, can hardly accept it. Hurry up and leave, don’t obstruct me."

Gu Nianjun said, "Young hero, so strange, Nianjun was indeed offending earlier but has no ill intent. The arrowhead earlier, I removed it, and deliberately shot wide. If you’re really angry, could you give me a chance to apologize?"

Li Xian said, "No need, the matter has passed, let’s part ways now." Gu Nianjun felt very frustrated, asking, "Does the young hero really dislike Nianjun?" Her voice was gentle, moving to see.

Li Xian thought of Li Xiaofan, and said lightly, "Dislike is too much to say, who are you to me, that I should dislike you? Since you’ve come here, surely it’s also for the Snow Mountain spirit fox. We should go our separate ways, and not say more. I’ve already forgotten earlier, don’t follow me again." With that, he turned to leave immediately.

Gu Nianjun stood dumbfounded, Li Xian’s words were very reasonable; since they were strangers meeting by chance, they should naturally remain strangers. With no connection, there’s no necessity for friendship. Gu Nianjun, possessing a [Seven Aperture Exquisite Heart], and balancing both scholar and Martial Arts, always looked down on others and was unwilling to make connections. Today, unexpectedly rejected, and also abruptly, her heart felt very bad.

"Must I really get to know you, this arrogant ghost? Strangers meeting are just strangers meeting, do you think you’re so great!" Gu Nianjun felt heavily stifled, almost wanting to leave immediately. But then she thought, ’His Archery is unparalleled, hard to find another like him in the world. Such a person, once separated, might not meet another.’ Filled with unwillingness, she bit her lip and chased after him again.

Li Xian felt very annoyed, and said, "What do you want, haven’t I said it clearly enough? Why are you still following?" Gu Nianjun clenched her delicate fists, feeling extremely strange, and suddenly thought of ’Zhou Shijie’. She found Zhou Shijie extremely annoying on normal days, speaking in just such a tone.

Gu Nianjun said, "In truth, I have something to request." Li Xian said, "Ask someone else, stop following, otherwise, I’ll really shoot you!"

Gu Nianjun held back her indignation, her eyes slightly reddening, and said, "Does the young hero have no interest in the Snow Mountain spirit fox at all?" Li Xian was too lazy to respond.

Gu Nianjun said again, "I can help you hunt the Snow Mountain spirit fox."

Li Xian thought, "If you have such ability, why not find a way to obtain it yourself, specially running to help a stranger like me, this girl is crazy, don’t pay attention." He leapt far away, and seeing Gu Nianjun no longer following, he breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Gu Nianjun gently wiped away her tears, feeling very wronged. She indeed harbored no ill will, admiring his Archery and thus intending to help, to make acquaintance. To bring about a meeting, she indeed used some thought and methods, but since seeing him, she behaved with full courtesy, trying her best to make amends. Yet she was loathed in return. She was naturally wise and calm, not easily angered or impetuous, but facing a different person, her emotions naturally fluctuated.

Gu Nianjun muttered to herself, "Gu Nianjun, oh Gu Nianjun, do you think everyone adores you? This time you meet someone who doesn’t care about you, so now you’re sad."

Suddenly hearing the sound of wind, a figure landed in front of her. It was the returning Li Xian; after walking far, he seriously considered that Gu Nianjun was not a villain and wasn’t likely to deceive and harm him. Moreover, since it concerned the ’Snow Mountain spirit fox’, it wouldn’t hurt to listen.

Gu Nianjun was delighted, but her face turned cold immediately, saying, "Young hero, since we’ve parted, what are you returning for?" Li Xian directly said, "You mentioned the Snow Mountain spirit fox, I’d like to ask in detail."

Gu Nianjun said, "Hmph, I wanted to tell you earlier, but you wouldn’t listen. Now I don’t want to say anymore, if you want to hear it, you must..."

Li Xian said lightly, "If you don’t want to say, I won’t force you. Let’s part here." Gu Nianjun angrily said, "You are so impatient, I haven’t even finished my words!" Her emotions were being pulled all over the place, long since losing her bearings. At this juncture, she no longer knew whether she was angry or happy.

Li Xian said, "Please speak, miss. I do have important matters; if it’s meaningless, I won’t accompany. If indeed there’s assistance, the favor and benefits will surely be repaid."

Gu Nianjun said, "I have a map of Snow Dragon Mountain, with fifty-three peaks depicted within. Is it of use to you?" Li Xian truthfully said, "Useful."

Gu Nianjun said, "I know the habits of the Snow Mountain spirit fox, is it of use to you?"

Li Xian said, "Useful."

Gu Nianjun walked back and forth with her hands behind her back, saying, "I know where the Snow Mountain spirit fox has been hunted, is that of use to you?"

Li Xian said, "Naturally useful, with such a good thing, why are you seeking me?" Gu Nianjun said, "Because your Archery is good, among those I’ve met, only you have a chance, so I seek you." She turned her head slightly, feeling somewhat embarrassed, drawing circles in the snow with her toe.

Li Xian said, "What’s the condition, please speak directly." Gu Nianjun said annoyed, "You Archery geniuses are always so straightforward, always so direct." Afraid Li Xian would turn and leave, she added, "Stand thirty zhang... no, thirty feet behind me, I will shoot thirteen arrows, if you can knock them down purely by Archery, I will help you hunt the Snow Mountain spirit fox."
