With a deep cry, the proud girl swept out with a kick, augmented by increased energy, sending the sandbag flying before it slammed heavily against the brown stone wall.
"Grandpa! Why are you still up so late and not sleeping?" the girl didn't turn around, grabbing a towel next to her and wiping her neck as she spoke.
"Your perception is pretty good, but you didn't notice me..." Xia Liu secretly chuckled. Indeed, this girl's cultivation was low, a pity that he hid his energy too well against the heavens. For her, being a Mysterious Rank Warrior, it was still impossible to detect him.
"Mingmei, clean up and come meet your teacher!" Wu Lang said excitedly, particularly emphasizing the word "teacher."
He was reminding his granddaughter that this teacher was very special!
Hearing her grandfather say so, Wu Mingmei's Liu Mei eyebrows furrowed, and she quickly turned around.
In an instant, the two met each other's gaze for the first time.
Xia Liu's pupils shrank slightly, mostly because Wu Mingmei caused him such a slight astonishment.
Indeed, the girl was just as her name suggested, full of charm that could fill the ground, and her face was exquisitely flawless.
Anyone seeing her for the first time would be intoxicated, for she was sheer purity and beauty.
And in that purity and beauty, Xia Liu felt a hint of frosty chill.
Looking at her demeanor, this Wu Mingmei seemed to be a frosty beauty.
Maybe it was because she liked martial arts, hadn't interacted with men in society, she didn't have much interest in pleasing men.
"Grandpa, who is he?" Looking at the young Xia Liu, Wu Mingmei asked in confusion.
Although she had the thought that Xia Liu might be the teacher her grandpa mentioned.
But this idea was instantly crushed by her.
Because Xia Liu was very young, at most a year or two older than herself.
"Hello, beautiful. My name is Xia Liu." Before Wu Lang could speak, Xia Liu introduced himself first.
"Oh, hello." Looking at Xia Liu with some bright eyes, Wu Mingmei responded without any expression.
"Mingmei! What kind of attitude is that! Mr. Xia is someone I went to great lengths to find to be your teacher!" Family Head Wu immediately became angry seeing his granddaughter's indifferent demeanor.
Xia Liu, who was he if not a Heaven-Rank Warrior?
If his granddaughter offended or missed out on such a good teacher, she would have nowhere to cry in the future.
"Pff! Grandpa, are you joking? Him, be my teacher!" Wu Mingmei was shocked.
Indeed, just as that fleeting thought had been, Xia Liu was the teacher her grandpa had called to peak.
But it made no sense at all, a young man of about her age being her teacher, what qualified him?
"Of course I'm not joking with you, apologize to Mr. Xia right away!" If it had been any other time, Wu Lang would certainly not have been angry, but he had personally witnessed Xia Liu's methods.
Now, seeing his granddaughter's attitude, if it angered Xia Liu, he would be in deep trouble.
"I won't! With the sour look on him, he's going to be my teacher, he's not qualified even to be my disciple!"
Wu Mingmei said angrily.
"Yo, not even qualified to be your disciple, you must be pretty proud, huh." Xia Liu teased interestedly, not waiting for Wu Lang to speak.
"Heh heh, whether I am proud or not is none of your business. With your lecherous looks, I could kill a hundred like you with one hand!"
"Pff!" Xia Liu spurted out a laugh, since when had he become a lecher? This was wrong.
"Mingmei! You've made a big mistake! Apologize to Mr. Xia now!" Seeing Xia Liu's changing facial expression, Wu Lang immediately barked.
"Family Head Wu, don't worry about it, your granddaughter is pretty great." Xia Liu waved his hand to stop Wu Lang from continuing to scold her.
For some reason, when facing such a cold and purely beautiful girl, Xia Liu found himself quite interested in challenging her.
"I don't know how you swindled my grandfather, but right now I'm giving you a chance to leave my house!" Wu Mingmei said defiantly with her arms crossed.
"What if I don't go?" Xia Liu touched his chin and smirked.
"If you don't go, I'll cripple you and then throw you out the door!"
"Interesting, really interesting." Xia Liu muttered to himself, having seen girls as tough as her before.
Following the usual pattern, this chick was about to make a move.
"Mr. Xia, go easy on her, don't break Mingmei's bones..."
"Grandpa! Why are you cursing me like that!"
"Mingmei, Grandpa is looking out for your best interest, advising you to quickly apologize to Mr. Xia. He can help your leg techniques improve," Wu Lang said seriously.
"Tch! Grandpa, you're confused, he must have drugged you or something, otherwise, how could you believe a man the same age as me? Plus, he has no energy about him, not even a martial artist." Wu Mingmei bluntly exposed Xia Liu's secret and also gave Wu Lang a lecture.
"Ah, Mr. Xia, I'll go and find a set of clothes for you while you take charge of disciplining Mingmei." After being sure that Xia Liu wouldn't hurt his granddaughter, Wu Lang didn't want to stay any longer and quickly found an excuse to leave.
"Family Head Wu, rest assured, I'll show restraint," Xia Liu replied with a smile and a nod.
"Hmph! You little scammer, this is your last chance, get out of my house! Otherwise, I'll break your legs and then throw you out!" Once her grandfather left, Wu Mingmei's expression turned utterly cold, and her words became even more spitefully sharp.
"I'd actually like to see how you're going to break my legs."
"!" Before Xia Liu could respond, Wu Mingmei flicked the towel in her hand towards him.
Her aim was very precise; the towel covered Xia Liu's face. With her inner qi surging and her movement technique enhanced, she hovered in front of Xia Liu, and raised her leg for a heavy strike!
Xia Liu caught the flawless beauty of her foot in his hand.
At the same time, he took the towel off his face.
Although the towel was drenched in sweat, it was peculiar that it carried no foul odor, but instead, a faint, elusive virgin fragrance.
Xia Liu nearly wanted to hit himself; such a thought actually crossed his mind – lamentable and pitiful...
"Bastard!" Seeing that Xia Liu had blocked her kick so easily, Wu Mingmei clenched her teeth and immediately launched a flurry of rapid attacks.
Xia Liu casually blocked each of Wu Mingmei's sharp kicks with his wrists.
However, Xia Liu got distracted for a moment and was hit in the abdomen by Wu Mingmei.
Then, showing no mercy, she kicked him flying three or four meters away.
After he came back to his senses, Xia Liu wiped the blood flowing from his nose, feeling his energy boiling to the brink!
He swallowed repeatedly, still dazed from what had just happened.
It was all because of Wu Mingmei's attack.
Or rather her attire – damn it, she was wearing shorts while practicing.
Her series of sweeping leg techniques had allowed Xia Liu to catch a glimpse of pink through the openings.
And then he was stunned.
This didn't match her personality at all. If he wasn't mistaken, what Wu Mingmei was wearing was not only pink in color but also had cartoon characters on it...
