Zheng Xiang was depressed.
He had a very good pick-up line prepared to impress Bai Qing'er, but he could only use it while heading out of the banquet.
Thus he decided to think of something else.
However, anything that came to his mind was too corny for readers to read.�
He didn't give up and continued to concentrate on his Dao of Flirt.
But, he came out with nothing. And this made him depressed.
On his left was Bai Qing'er, and on his right was Ye Tian Yun.
While Ye Tian Yun was frowning hard, most probably trying to think about something.
Bai Qing'er however was finding it hard to control her laughter. She could only sit with a straight face and lips pursed, trying to appear as normal as possible.
Why was she having trouble sitting calmly? Because of the guy beside her. Zheng Xiang.
Due to her ability to know what the people around her were thinking about her, she knew what this guy was thinking.
She couldn't believe someone would still try to use pick-up lines at this time. After all, the sect was under attack by unknown enemies and this guy was thinking about how to impress her.
Either he was an idiot who doesn't understand the situation, or he was an idiot who now had a crush on her.
Truthfully, she didn't care about these kinds of disciples. After all, being the center of the attention of most of her life, she was now very immune to such guys. At least that's what she thought about this.
Even though Zheng Xiang was trying to think of pick-up lines, all his thoughts ended up with her name, so she already knew what he was going to say.
Except for the first line that he was regretting about, she knew all the corny lines he thought of.
'Should someone call the elder, because girl, you just stole my heart.'
Her lips twitched when she heard this pickup line which Zheng Xiang had thought for her.�
Before she could process those words, a new one plopped up in Zheng Xiang's mind.
'Let's commit the perfect crime. You steal my heart, I steal yours.'
'Nah, this is not good for her, I need something which will work really well.' Zheng Xiang thought.
'Girl, I wanna go swimming, but I am already drowning in your eyes.'
Bai Qing'er turned her head to the other side. These were the times when she really wanted to have control over her ability to know other people's thoughts.
'This is awkward,' She didn't know what to do.�
Suddenly her eyes fell on the disciples beside her. Xiao Ming.
It was then she remembered once again that she couldn't hear the thoughts of these two.
How did she know that? Because there was no way that anyone who saw her for the first time wouldn't think anything about her.
But Xiao Ming's case was like that. He didn't think anything about her.�
No. He may have thought of something, but somehow Bai Qing'er couldn't hear it.�
And when even after sitting beside her, none of Xiao Ming's thoughts were known to her. Be it something good or bad, there was no way he didn't think anything about her.
And to make matters even weird, there was someone else whose thoughts she couldn't judge.
Fang Chen.
The guy sitting on the other side of Zheng Xiang.
That guy was really low-key. And was also weird in her opinion.�
Because when Zheng Xiang and Xiao Ming argued earlier, Fang Chen interfered and even kicked Xiao Ming.�
Even though his power was surprising, she thought that Fang Chen was being nosy.
Not that she had any dog in that fight, but she just wanted to state her opinion.
Tonight she got to meet a lot of weirdos.
Zheng Xiang was trying to continuously get into her good books.
Xiao Ming and Fang Chen, whose thoughts were hidden from her. And both of them gave a weird vibe to her. Her intuition told her to stay away from these two.
And then there was Mu Xing. The only guy in the hall whose thoughts she could hear, but they weren't about how to make her fall in love with him. Rather, Mu Xing thought of her as a rival.
Just then.
"You were really lucky tonight." A voice from her left called out, bringing her out of her thoughts.
She slightly turned her head towards the source. It was Zheng Xiang.
He wasn't looking at her, but rather, Xiao Ming.
'He wants another beef, smh,' She could help but shake her head in her mind.
Xiao Ming who was also lost in his thoughts turned to his left and frowned at Zheng Xiang.
"What do you mean?" He asked.
Zheng Xiang leaned back on his seat, turning a bit to his right, and put his left-hand elbow on the armrest, scratching his chin, he said, "You were lucky that tonight's banquet took a turn and you easily got out of it without meeting me."
Xiao Ming had his left eyebrow raised when he heard those words, "Were you sleeping when I kicked that guy's ass?"
"That was just a small fry. If you had met me, you would have received a good spanking."
Xiao Ming smirked, "Oh?" Then he leaned forward a little and said, "You seem to be very confident, why don't we get on the stage? Let's see if your sword is as sharp as your words."
These two top disciples arguing between each other had begun to attract a lot of attention. The disciples had already started to feel bored, and now that there was a good drama to witness, they were definitely not going to miss it.
Ye Tian Yun who was still trying to figure out why that shout was bugging him, looked to his right with a frown, 'Why is Zheng Xiang trying to create unnecessary trouble? There's no need to create a drama and if they get on the stage, Xiao Ming will beat the crap out of him.'
