Cultivation—Stand above the Heaven Chapter 95

"I..." Tang Xinyi stuttered. She opened her mouth, attempting to say something, but nothing came out especially when she remembered how she had been out of the line with Wandong.

But she would have to offer her plea to him, as it was not up to her when it came to the combat effectiveness of the Fengxiang Armed Escort.

If Tang Xinyi had had long seen it coming, she would not have been so hard on Wandong before ― in that case, she would not have to be subject to such tormenting retribution now. Begging Wandong,  cap in hand might probably incur insults to herself. "He will make a dig at me," Tang Xinyi supposed. She felt a stinging pain on her face.

She was aware that she would be embarrassed through and through . Having had a deep breath, she got herself prepared for the forthcoming insults from Wandong. However, hardly had she started to anything when Wandong uttered, "Well." Then he took out the diagram of his formation methods from his collar and handed it to Tang Xinyi.

"What does this..." Tang Xinyi asked in a bewildered tone, her face teeming with a tinge of confusion.

Wandong said with a light-hearted smile, "It's yours now. Feel free to come to me for consultation if you find anything baffling."

Tang Xinyi took the diagram blankly, her eyes fixed on Wandong as if she had been scrutinizing a monster.

Wandong gave a touch to his own face and smirked at her, "So, you finally realized I'm a hunk?"

Tang Xinyi blushed and lowered her head subconsciously and stammered out her words, "You...You said the formation diagram is mine now?"

Wandong had long figured out her intention. He said with a smile, "General Tang, I used to be an arse in the past. But, believe it or not, a new myself has already replaced the prior one. The world is changing, so are people. Do you think so?"

"You...You truly have changed quite a bit," Tang Xinyi responded. It was rather weird, what Wandong said made her heart beat fervently.

"So, General Tang, please don't be as hard on me as you did before. It was such a torture for me to take for the second time. Please kindly show some mercy," Wandong beamed in high spirits.

Wandong's laughter brought abundant relief to Tang Xinyi. She felt at ease all of a sudden, blossoming like a flower delightfully unfolding its gorgeous petals in the summer. Seeing Wandong feinting a pitiful appearance, she hastened to clamp the formation diagram under her arm and deliberately pulled a long face, letting out a hum, "You find it easy to buy me with a formation diagram? Dream on! I would impose sufferings on you again if you dared mess with me."

"If so, then it means that it was literally using a meat-filled dumpling to beat a...(an old Chinese saying ― if you beat a dog with a dumpling, you can never retrieve the dumpling. It means that you not only failed to punish the dog but also lost your property.)"

Hardly had Wandong attempted to finish that offensive line when Tang Xiyin raised her eyebrows with an air of assertion around her.

Wandong caught himself saying wrong things and held back the latter part subconsciously. Letting out embarrassed laughter, he asked with a sudden severe countenance, "Now that a formation diagram hardly suffices, what do you say I teach you the swordsmanship I used in the duel with Wu Qiujun today?"

On hearing that, Tang Xinyi had a quiver running through her body subconsciously. She beamed, "Is...Is that true?"

"Of course! I couldn't bear to witness you being bullied by Luo Xiao today. How could a woman of mine, oh no, a woman of the Dingshan Palace take that?" Wandong talked incoherently out of excitement.

Looking at Wandong smiling in good feather, Tang Xinyi blurted out, "Thank you!"

"Wow. It was once in a blue moon I could hear you say that!" Wandong joked.

"Xu Yaoting, don't be smug. You will have to stay awake through the night if you can't get it across," Tang Xinyi threatened.
