Chapter 2022

Baili Xia arrived at the back mountain, wandering aimlessly.

Unknowingly, she came to the grassy area where she had practiced martial arts before.

She hadn’t randomly used Wu Ming as an excuse; she had truly thought that she might encounter him on the back mountain.

After all, ever since she started learning kung fu, it was Wu Ming who had consistently and diligently taught her.

But upon reaching the back mountain, she suddenly felt how laughable her thoughts were.

How could Wu Ming possibly be waiting here for her, any time, anywhere?

Baili Xia walked to the familiar large tree, leaning her body against the trunk.

Looking at the grass in front of her, memories flooded back to her mind one by one.

On this grassland, she had met Wu Ming.

That guy didn’t say a word and just started teaching her skills.

She once even thought that guy was mute.

Here, she had also met Brother You and even saved him.

It was he who taught her archery, allowing her to win first place in the Eight Big Families competition.

Past events were like smoke, time flew by swiftly, and everything has changed so quickly.

Reliving the past, Baili Xia became a bit absent-minded, completely unaware of the slowly approaching footsteps.

Suddenly, a piece of clothing draped over her shoulders, jolting her thoughts back.

Baili Xia looked back with a vigilant face, her expression instantly changing drastically.

“It’s you?”

How could it be? How could she really meet him here!

Baili Xia never thought she’d actually encounter Wu Ming here.

She naturally wouldn’t believe that the two of them were so in sync, able to run into each other.

Could it be… it was Uncle she ran into earlier, and Uncle arranged for him to come over.

Thinking of this, her heart suddenly became complicated.

Earlier, she used Wu Ming as an excuse to dodge Uncle, never considering that Wu Ming was actually Uncle’s subordinate.

His movements must be completely known to Uncle, this lie was way too easy to uncover.

Wu Ming said nothing, his ink-colored eyes looked at her indifferently.

Baili Xia looked down to see a black men’s jacket draped over her.

This scene suddenly touched her heart, warming it slightly.

She looked up at the man so close to her, feeling a bit moved at this moment.

“Did Uncle send you?”

She couldn’t help but smile, unsure if she was laughing at the absurdity of her own lie or laughing at something else.

Wu Ming didn’t speak. With his typically aloof personality, not wanting to answer was perfectly normal.

But this time, the always empathetic Baili Xia continued to ask, “Did Uncle send you?”

“Does it make a difference?” Wu Ming’s hoarse voice, she was beginning to grow familiar with.

Baili Xia pursed her lips and said nothing.

Yes, does it make a difference?

Whether it is or not, what difference does it make?

She suddenly looked up at Wu Ming and said, smiling, “Since you’re here, come and teach me some new moves quickly. It’s been too long since I practiced, I’m getting rusty.”

“Okay.” Wu Ming didn’t say much further, extending his large hand slightly: “I’ll let your right hand win.”

“Don’t underestimate me!” Baili Xia bit her lip, immediately posing in a fighting stance.

With a whoosh, she delivered a chop.

Even though Wu Ming let her have the right hand, Baili Xia knew that only using his left hand, Wu Ming was still unbeatable for her.

But regardless of whether she could defeat him or not, she had to at least engage first.

The girl clenched her teeth, her every move filled with strength.

Soon, Wu Ming realized that this girl truly went crazy tonight.

She attacked without guarding herself, only offense without defense, not fearing personal injury.

On the contrary, Wu Ming was cautious in his moves to avoid hurting her, feeling less assured than usual.
