"The most important thing is your special body. You can’t have relations with men. Staying by Tang Ming’s side for too long, he will get tired of you, as men’s patience is limited."

The old madman spoke again.

"Then, do I have competitiveness if I stay?"

Li Xiaoli furrowed her brows and looked uncertainly at the old madman.

"Of course! The reason I want you to stay is to teach you martial arts."

The old madman smiled smugly and pointed at Sun Zhuangjia: "Let’s not talk about Tang Ming, just Sun Zhuangjia, this guy was nothing before my guidance and teaching, and now he’s broken through to Martial General. If you are willing to learn martial arts from me, I guarantee you will be able to beat ten Sun Zhuangjia in the future."

"Hey, Master, there’s no need to belittle me to persuade her. I’m now a strong Martial General after all, I need some face."

Sun Zhuangjia looked speechlessly at the old madman in protest.

"Humph, did I say anything wrong about you? You were a Martial Artist when you first followed me, and now in less than a year, I’ve elevated you to a Martial General. Isn’t that proof of my excellent teaching?"

The old madman immediately straightened his face, looking coldly at Sun Zhuangjia.

"Master is right."

Sun Zhuangjia shrank his neck, feeling aggrieved inside, the old madman’s attitude towards Li Xiaoli and him was completely different, it was too unfair.

Everyone else had witnessed the old madman’s unique treatment of Li Xiaoli, so no one dared disrespect Li Xiaoli, even if she tore the roof off, they’d dare not speak a word. After all, with the old madman as her ally, who could challenge her?

"Are you sure I can become an expert too?"

Li Xiaoli still looked uncertainly at the old madman.

"Of course! Tang Ming and Sun Zhuangjia are living examples, as long as you’re willing to work hard, I guarantee you’ll definitely surpass them in the future."

The old madman promised confidently.

"Alright, since that’s the case, I’ll learn from you then."

Li Xiaoli thought for a while and looked at the old madman resolutely: "I’m also willing to acknowledge you as my teacher."

"No, no, no need for formal apprenticeship, but I will still teach you martial arts with diligence."

The old madman was startled and waved his hand to stop Li Xiaoli quickly.

What a joke!

This woman could be the host for an ancestor, being her master would be disastrous if the ancestor found out.

The old madman indeed wanted to teach Li Xiaoli martial arts, but his main purpose involved something else concerning the ancestor, which he couldn’t reveal yet.

"As long as you can make me a master, I’ll listen to you. If love transcends space and time, it’s not about the fleeting moments together but the powerful bond. Only with great strength, can I be with Tang Ming longer."

Li Xiaoli muttered to herself as she obediently sat back in her chair.

"Xiaoli, what are you up to? Are you really going to abandon me?"

Liu Mengting looked at Li Xiaoli disapprovingly.

"Not at all! But being able to learn martial arts is great. I wanted to learn when I was in the Heavenly Cloud Palace but Tang Ming wouldn’t allow it. Now that Tang Ming’s master is willing to teach me, I must work hard."

Li Xiaoli earnestly looked at Liu Mengting.

"But if you stay on Glazed Island, I can only go back to school alone, and who knows how long it will be before we meet again. I hate this separation."

Liu Mengting’s eyes started turning red.

"Ah, don’t be like this, it’s all for the future."

Li Xiaoli quickly comforted Liu Mengting and sighed helplessly: "This old guy was right about one thing, I’m different from you guys. I have no parents, no dependence, except for my large chest I have no other assets to compete with you for affection, so I have to become a martial arts master."

"But..."

"There’s no but, think about Wei’er, she and Tang Ming have such a strong bond but to help Tang Ming in the future, she resolutely went to Rainbow Cloud Peak for cultivation. That’s truly great love."

Li Xiaoli interrupted Liu Mengting: "Wei’er has Tang Ming’s genuine love yet she strives to improve herself, so naturally I must work even harder to be worthy of Tang Ming."

"Alright!"

Listening to this, Liu Mengting nodded, her gaze towards Li Xiaoli changed, it seemed she felt Li Xiaoli had suddenly matured.

"Well, I only have a few things to announce."

The old madman stroked his beard, "Xiaoxi, when does the medical competition start?"

"December 28th, there’s four days left." 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

Su Xiaoxi quickly responded: "Tang Ming has passed the preliminaries, and he must return to the Imperial City on December 28th to follow his school’s personnel to report at the semifinals."

"Alright, then you can enjoy yourselves on Glazed Island, set off to return in three days."

The old madman nodded, then stood up, "Xiaoli, let’s discuss what martial arts you want to learn now, okay?"

"Alright!"

Li Xiaoli nodded repeatedly, following the old madman out: "I want to learn flying martial arts first, at least if I can’t fight, I can run."

"You mean Qinggong? Alright, I’ll teach you a lost top Qinggong from martial arts, Moonlight Continuous Light Steps."

The old madman introduced as he walked.

"How long will it take to learn?"

"That depends on talent, someone like Sun Zhuangjia might take twenty years to achieve some minor mastery."

"Twenty years? That’s too long, no way."

"Don’t panic, don’t panic, practice first, if your talent is good you might learn it in a few hours, I only took a week."

"Hmph, then you scared me, I’ll strive to learn it in three days before we leave."

"Alright, alright."

...

The old madman and Li Xiaoli left chatting and laughing, leaving everyone else stunned.

Especially Sun Zhuangjia, looking helpless and annoyed: "Is this still my master? When he taught Tang Ming and me, it was either beating or scolding, how come with this girl it’s all coaxing and persuading, so unfair."

Others were envious, being personally taught by the old madman meant a promising future, looking at Tang Ming and Sun Zhuangjia was proof of how terrifying it would be to be the old madman’s disciple.

"If only Mu family’s children could get the senior’s guidance."

People from the Mu Family pondered secretly.

Tang Ming and Mu Zixin were messing around in the room, resting when tired, continuing when awake, until the next day.

In the morning, Tang Ming groggily opened his eyes, looking at Mu Zixin sleeping on top of him, feeling proud.

Recalling the first time he met Mu Zixin, this girl was arrogant, looking down her nose at everyone, especially disliking him. Unexpectedly, she became his woman and is pregnant.

It’s a twist of fate, destiny is unpredictable.
