74: Elder Tang, why don’t we come together?

Hearing Xu Xi’s words, Tang Wan was not surprised by the Thin Horse Gate’s sordid dealings, because the Acacia Sect she knew was a similar existence.

Sending female disciples to marry into sects in other states—wasn't that just selling disciples for personal gain?

How many of them were willing, or forced, what did it matter?

With mind-controlling pills swallowed, how could one resist?

Instead, Tang Wan was somewhat curious about the hero-saving-the-beauty story between Xu Xi and Bai Luo.

Because, by Tang Wan’s side, there was still Li Ning霜.

Especially knowing Li Ning霜’s unyielding personality, Tang Wan wanted to see what kind of sparks would fly between them.

“Uh…”

“You’re really enjoying the drama, aren’t you…”

Standing aside, originally somewhat sad and worried, Xu Xi was afraid that Tang Wan would hold a grudge because of this.

But he never expected her to not take it seriously at all, instead gossiping about his relationship with Bai Luo; this move caught him completely off guard.

One could only say that an Elder was an Elder, her level was simply higher.

However, was that sudden surge in your favorability rating for real?

Xu Xi didn't quite understand Tang Wan’s suddenly increased favorability rating.

“Bai Luo?”

“What kind of woman is it that has captivated our Xu Xi to such an extent? To disregard his own life and death to rescue her younger brother.”

“I really want to meet her, I wonder if I’ll be so lucky as to see her once?”

No matter how little Xu Xi understood Tang Wan’s increased favorability rating right now, just as Tang Wan had thought, after Li Ning霜 heard Xu Xi’s narration, her expression grew worse and worse, and she had already begun to make trouble.

How long had it been? Xu Xi was eating what was in his bowl while looking at what was in the pot; he truly refused no one.

Of course, Li Ning霜 also knew that a person like Xu Xi would never deliberately restrain himself; instead, he would always be unrestrained.

Therefore, Li Ning霜 wanted to surpass Xu Xi in certain aspects; as long as she could crush Xu Xi and drain him dry, then Xu Xi, despite his myriad grand thoughts, would have no place to display them.

And Li Ning霜 would also feel more satisfied because of it.

This, ah, was a win-win!

However, though it sounded good, Xu Xi would not give Li Ning霜 a chance.

Staring at Li Ning霜, he suddenly laughed, then slapped her, hitting that soft spot directly.

The pent-up frustration in Xu Xi’s heart was also relieved by this.

“What, do you think you can’t compare to her?”

“I, on the other hand, think that Ning Shuang, your sustained and powerful combat strength is a cut above, truly like an unbridled wild horse.”

“How about… we fight again?”

“Let me see if my riding skills have improved, and if your combat strength has progressed!”

After one strike, he did not stop; instead, Xu Xi became even more unrestrained.

Because in that instant, Li Ning霜 also did not give up; instead, following Xu Xi’s hand, she twisted her waist, followed up on Xu Xi’s offensive, and tried to engage Xu Xi in a duel.

“Ying~”

After a soft gasp, it was clear that Li Ning霜 was steadily losing ground, even showing “a few” beads of sweat that permeated her clothes, making her perfect figure appear even more alluring.

“You two really aren’t picky about locations.”

“It was one thing to give me a live broadcast without my knowledge back then, but now you don’t even want any cover?”

Witnessing the flirtation between Xu Xi and Li Ning霜 firsthand, Tang Wan’s pupils widened, not expecting the two to be so open.

Moreover, they didn’t care about her, an outsider, at all!

That’s right, Tang Wan still considered herself an outsider right now; even though her favorability rating had reached 100, as long as Xu Xi hadn't made it clear, Tang Wan couldn't possibly lower herself to compete with a young girl like Li Ning霜.

“How about… Elder Tang joins in too?”

“What’s the point of just watching? Don’t you want to personally discipline this ignorant sect prodigy of yours?”

With one arm around Li Ning霜, constantly exploring, Xu Xi did not forget about Tang Wan, this earthly enchantress, even while in battle.

His other hand simultaneously invaded, pulling Tang Wan closer; Xu Xi knew that a favorability rating of 100 would definitely make Tang Wan accept him.

The only question was whether Tang Wan would accept the invitation to battle with him and discipline Li Ning霜, this competitive individual.

“!”

“Elder… Elder Tang?”

“Xu Xi—, what nonsense are you, a great lecherous demon, spouting?!”

“Don’t you believe that Elder Tang will strike you dead with a Purple Cloud Profound Lightning later?!”

“Elder Tang, please don’t be offended, Xu Xi has always been reckless and a bit presumptuous…”

“And quickly put down your dog paws!”

Li Ning霜, who was in the midst of intense battle and gradually getting lost in it, instantly sobered up after hearing Xu Xi’s words.

Li Ning霜 dared to shout at Tang Wan, or even ignore her, because she was a genius disciple of the Purple Cloud Sect.

Why should you, Xu Xi, an outsider, be allowed to do so?

Did you really think you had a lot of face?

If you had a lot of face, you wouldn’t have been killed like a dog by Zheng Dayi of Thunderclap Pavilion!

Immediately stepping forward to mediate, Li Ning霜 felt it was necessary to explain, even if such an explanation seemed insignificant in Tang Wan’s eyes.

“Discipline?”

“When he puts it that way… I’m actually interested now~”

“Ning Shuang, you’d better be careful~”

Held by the waist by Xu Xi, Tang Wan naturally didn't mind.

She was even overjoyed in her heart; to some extent, Tang Wan’s combat strength was beyond Xu Xi’s imagination.

Just her cultivation realm alone suppressed him by three levels; what could you, Xu Xi, compare to Tang Wan with?

Even the stream in the shady path was enough to drown Xu Xi, this Spirit Refinement realm little brat.

Even the layered barriers by the stream could cause Xu Xi’s long spear to break and sink into the sand.

However, as soon as Tang Wan spoke, and was then scanned by Tang Wan’s gaze, Li Ning霜, who had just started to explain, was instantly stunned and speechless.

She just looked at Tang Wan with a surprised gaze, then her eyes constantly shifted back and forth between Xu Xi and Tang Wan.

Li Ning霜 couldn’t figure out when Tang Wan and Xu Xi would have had the chance to get together.

She hadn’t left any space for the two of them to be alone!

“Could it be… Elder Tang secretly went to find Xu Xi behind my back?”

“Otherwise, how could she have just happened to meet Xu Xi on the road today? Perhaps Xu Xi secretly activated the life-saving jade talisman Elder Tang left for him!”

Imagining things in her mind, Li Ning霜 could only comfort herself this way.

However, at the same time, a strong sense of competitiveness surged within her.

In terms of hard power, a small Spirit Refinement realm Li Ning霜 was naturally no match for a single strike from a Reaching the Profound master like Tang Wan.

But if it came to competing in other aspects of combat strength, then Li Ning霜 would certainly not back down.
