Chapter 2158

Baili Xia arrived at the grassy area, ready to sort out her feelings and start training, when unexpectedly, a figure appeared under the tree.

At this time, how could there be someone here?

She wasn’t afraid of danger here, knowing Mu Xuri wouldn’t dare.

Since the incident with Xiaoxiao at the back mountain last time, Mu Xiaoyao had already increased monitoring arrangements in the area.

In some places, only he and Uncle knew about them.

Mu Xuri was aware of this, so generally, Baili Xia coming here wouldn’t be dangerous.

However, being completely without danger was impossible.

Baili Xia stared at the figure, her eyes showing vigilance.

Yet, the figure seemed to be waiting for her, looking in her direction.

As she got closer, although still unclear, Baili Xia could already recognize him.

“Wu Ming?” Baili Xia called out from afar.

“Hmm.” A low voice, indeed it was Wu Ming.

Baili Xia’s heart was pleasantly surprised, striding over.

But when she stood before Wu Ming, she suddenly felt awkward.

Since their last unhappy parting, that matter hadn’t been resolved.

Today, with Wu Ming here, how should she face him?

“Lost for words seeing me?” Wu Ming said lightly, his tone devoid of warmth.

This girl, probably still hung up on last time.

Baili Xia understood what he meant, and awkwardly smiled.

His way of speaking indicated he no longer cared about their previous spat.

Turns out, she had been overthinking it.

“No, we’re all so familiar, why would I be afraid to see you?”

“Actually, I was thinking how to thank you for coming over to teach me again.”

Wu Ming glanced at her, saying, “In the future, listen more to Mr. Xiaojiu, and that’s thanks enough.”

Baili Xia raised her brows and rolled her eyes at him.

“When have I ever not listened to Uncle?”

This Wu Ming, it’s not just because you’re Uncle’s subordinate that you need to listen to him.

Does he also expect her to listen? She’s got lots of her own matters to handle.

This little gesture, Wu Ming didn’t mind, but his brow still lightly furrowed.

“Sihai Residence isn’t entirely safe yet, Mr. Xiaojiu told you not to go out, right?”

Baili Xia paused slightly, instantly understanding what he meant.

She found it strange, this was something specifically mentioned to her by Uncle and Brother in a meeting, how did Wu Ming know?

Thinking it over, she seemed to understand.

Probably Uncle was worried about an accident, and specially sent Wu Ming to protect her at the back mountain at night.

She nodded, and said, “Then please come here often at night to accompany me during training.”

Wu Ming ignored her, leaving the tree to move to the center of the grass.

“Let me see what you’ve learned lately?”

This girl, finally back to her playful demeanor, indicating that some matters were finally resolved.

Even though many things still lingered, eventually, they’d get better.

“Then I won’t be polite.”

Baili Xia smiled lightly, not hesitating, and rushed towards Wu Ming.

“No need to be…”

Before Wu Ming finished speaking, Baili Xia’s body was already flying towards him.

Her foot kicked high, aiming straight for his chest.

This display made a trace of surprise flash in Wu Ming’s eyes.

This speed was even faster than the last time he trained with her!

He shifted his body to the side, raising a hand to block, and intercepted Baili Xia’s kick.

Baili Xia immediately retreated two steps back, looking at Wu Ming with a hint of playfulness.

“How about it? Have I progressed?”
