Although Jiang Wu Ming’s first formal lesson had a minor incident, the overall effect was very good. Students who attended, as well as school leaders and teachers headed by Ren Xiao Yao, all gave high praise.
After the class ended, Jiang Wu Ming returned to Shen Xian Ju Jian Gu with the mother and daughter duo, Xia Xue Qin and Xia Dong.
Now that Jiang Wu Ming had officially become a teacher at Dong Hai Martial Arts Academy, the school had already started preparations to build him a residence, but this would take some time.
As such, Jiang Wu Ming was temporarily still living with Xia Xue Qin and Xia Dong.
“Brother Wu Ming, you need to be careful of Huangfu Wei Xia,” Xia Dong suddenly said on the way back.
“Why?” Jiang Wu Ming was a bit surprised.
“I know her, and I’ve even clashed with her twice before.”
Xia Dong spoke, seemingly recalling unpleasant memories, and said indignantly, “Even though she’s got big breasts, she’s not brainless. On the contrary, she’s incredibly cunning…”
“Xiao Dong, what kind of talk is that? And who taught you to speak ill of people behind their backs like this?”
This time, before Xia Dong could finish, Xia Xue Qin interrupted with a frown.
“Mom, I’m just afraid that big-breasted girl will pester Brother Wu Ming because of what happened in class. Didn’t you see how her eyes lit up when she looked at Brother Wu Ming? Like a little wild cat in heat.”
Xia Dong pouted, unconvinced.
“Your Brother Wu Ming can handle his own affairs; you don’t need to worry about it,” Xia Xue Qin reprimanded.
“Brother Wu Ming, if that big-breasted girl bothers you, don’t pay any attention to her.”
Xia Dong, who usually obeyed Xia Xue Qin’s every word, uncharacteristically contradicted her today. Even though Xia Xue Qin had already spoken up and chided her, she couldn’t help but remind Jiang Wu Ming.
“Xiao Dong, you’re overthinking it. Classmate Huangfu Wei Xia won’t do that.” Jiang Wu Ming felt a wry smile.
Although he didn’t know what exactly had happened between Xia Dong and Huangfu Wei Xia, he simply dismissed Xia Dong’s words as the childish complaints of a girl and didn’t take them to heart.
However—
In the afternoon, Jiang Wu Ming changed his perspective.
Because Huangfu Wei Xia had come to Shen Xian Gu Jian Gu and requested to see Jiang Wu Ming!
“Big-breasted girl, I knew you’d come pestering Brother Wu Ming. Brother Wu Ming is busy and doesn’t have time to see you.”
Xia Dong had been on guard for Huangfu Wei Xia to visit after school. Upon seeing Huangfu Wei Xia appear, she directly blocked her at the door.
“Little brat Dong, children shouldn’t interfere in adult matters. I have something to discuss with Teacher Wu Ming.”
Huangfu Wei Xia puffed out her proud, large chest and spoke with feigned maturity.
“Big-breasted girl, who are you trying to act like an adult? Do you think I don’t know you’re not even eighteen yet?” Xia Dong retorted, unwilling to back down.
“Little brat Dong, you don’t know this, do you? I’ll be eighteen in a few days.”
Huangfu Wei Xia replied teasingly to Xia Dong, then called out, “Teacher Wu Ming, I am Huangfu Wei Xia. May I come in and see you?”
“Classmate Huangfu Wei Xia, do you need something from me?”
Jiang Wu Ming walked out of the wooden house and asked.
With his strength, he had naturally heard the entire conversation between Huangfu Wei Xia and Xia Dong while he was inside. At the same time, he became even more certain that there was a minor conflict between these two.
“Teacher Wu Ming, I want to say a few words to you, but it’s not convenient with others around. Shall we go chat outside?”
Huangfu Wei Xia said, glancing sideways at Xia Dong.
“He’s my Brother Wu Ming; you’re the outsider!” Xia Dong was furious and corrected loudly.
“Xiao Dong, you practice your martial arts diligently. Brother will go speak with Classmate Huangfu Wei Xia for a moment.”
Jiang Wu Ming smiled wryly and patted Xia Dong’s little head.
“Alright.”
Xia Dong agreed, pouting. Although she didn’t want Jiang Wu Ming to go, she had no suitable reason to refuse, so she agreed. She also reminded him, “Brother Wu Ming, don’t forget what I told you!”
“Okay.”
Jiang Wu Ming smiled and nodded, then walked out of Jian Gu.
“Teacher Wu Ming, let’s go further away so that little brat Dong can’t eavesdrop,”
Huangfu Wei Xia said, tilting her chin triumphantly at Xia Dong.
Xia Dong gritted her teeth in anger but said nothing more.
“Teacher Wu Ming, what did little brat Dong say to you earlier? Was she speaking ill of me?”
Huangfu Wei Xia walked to a distant hillside and, before Jiang Wu Ming could ask her purpose, she inquired first.
“Nothing,”
Jiang Wu Ming dodged the question and then apologized again for the incident during class. “Classmate Huangfu Wei Xia, this morning was purely an accident. I sincerely apologize.”
“It’s okay, Teacher Wu Ming. I know you didn’t do it on purpose, so I don’t blame you.”
Huangfu Wei Xia said generously, completely devoid of the embarrassment and shyness she felt that morning when Jiang Wu Ming had grabbed her chest.
“Classmate Huangfu Wei Xia, why have you come to see me?” Jiang Wu Ming asked.
“Teacher Wu Ming, I want to add you on Long Xin, so I can ask you about martial arts in the future,” Huangfu Wei Xia stated her purpose.
“I don’t have Long Xin,” Jiang Wu Ming shook his head.
Long Xin was a communication app developed by a technology company in Long Country and was the most frequently used app by the people of Long Country, but Jiang Wu Ming had never applied for it.
“Ah—”
Jiang Wu Ming’s answer completely surprised Huangfu Wei Xia. She asked with some astonishment, “Teacher Wu Ming, why don’t you have Long Xin?”
“I was abroad before and only recently returned to the country,” Jiang Wu Ming explained.
“Then download the Long Xin app and apply for an account. It’s very convenient,” Huangfu Wei Xia suggested.
“I won’t need it for now, so I won’t apply,”
Jiang Wu Ming shook his head and then said, “How about this, I’ll give you my phone number. If you have any questions about martial arts, you can call or message me.”
“Okay.”
Huangfu Wei Xia nodded excitedly.
To her, Long Xin and a phone number made little difference. The important thing was that she could contact Jiang Wu Ming!
…
After Jiang Wu Ming returned to Jian Gu, Xia Dong immediately crowded around him, asking about the purpose of Huangfu Wei Xia’s visit.
Fearing that the little girl would overthink things, Jiang Wu Ming said that Huangfu Wei Xia wanted to ask him about martial arts.
“Brother Wu Ming, I swear on my little finger, that big-breasted girl definitely wants to approach you under the guise of asking martial arts questions!”
Xia Dong made this judgment.
Just like at the beginning, Jiang Wu Ming didn’t take Xia Dong’s words to heart. However, by the evening, he was completely dumbfounded!
Because Huangfu Wei Xia sent Jiang Wu Ming a message, but it wasn’t about martial arts questions. Instead, it said: Teacher Wu Ming, you were so scary when you released your killing intent in class today. You must have honed your killing intent in the Battle Dragon Hall, right? Can you tell me about your experiences in the Battle Dragon Hall?
After seeing the message content, Jiang Wu Ming thought for a moment and replied: Classmate Huangfu Wei Xia, I will only answer your questions related to martial arts.
Huangfu Wei Xia: Teacher Wu Ming, just fulfill this small wish of mine.
Jiang Wu Ming did not reply.
Huangfu Wei Xia: Teacher Wu Ming, I didn’t blame you even after you did that to me. Telling me about the Battle Dragon Hall isn’t a big deal, is it?
Jiang Wu Ming’s forehead was covered in black lines. He still didn’t reply. What did she mean by ‘that’?
Huangfu Wei Xia: Teacher Wu Ming, my chest hurts.
Jiang Wu Ming: ???
“Pfft—”
Huangfu Wei Xia, who was at the Huangfu family’s estate, burst out laughing after seeing Jiang Wu Ming’s reply.
After laughing heartily, Huangfu Wei Xia stopped messaging Jiang Wu Ming. She walked to the window, gazed at the vast starry sky, and couldn’t help but mutter to herself.
“Jiang Zhan was the prince charming in the hearts of the entire martial arts world and young girls from high society in Long Country back then. But of the countless women, he only chose one!
He bloodbathed the Zhao family, offered sacrifices to Ye Jin Mei, and built a city wall with three thousand Loulan soldiers. No matter who came, he wouldn’t retreat half a step, his battle cries deafening—even though Ye Jin Mei passed away young, she received the love that many women dream of!”
Jiang Wu Ming, this is what my mother said about your father.
Everyone says that a tiger father has no dog-like son.
I want to know, what would it be like to be your woman?
