"Putting on airs, I want to see what you’re capable of."
Shi Tou roared and stomped his foot fiercely, ready to launch an attack.
Just as Chu Batian was about to make a move, Shi Tou’s body suddenly flew into the air.
Seeing Shi Tou soaring, Chu Batian imdiately darted in front of Tang Ming, but then Shi Tou abruptly crashed headfirst into the ground.
"What’s going on? What kind of technique is this?"
Chu Batian looked bewilderedly at Shi Tou lying motionless on the ground.
"He was shot."
Tang Ming frowned, looking suspiciously toward the villa opposite, and suddenly realized that it must be Shen Yan’s handiwork.
It seed that after Li Xiaoli and Liu ngting moved across the street, they inford Shen Yan of the situation, and Shen Yan was now secretly protecting him.
Chu Batian went forward to check and indeed found a bloody hole in the center of Shi Tou’s forehead, his head penetrated by a bullet from behind.
"Just a Three-star Martial Master, ultimately couldn’t withstand the sniper rifle’s stealth attack."
Seeing the once-arrogant Shi Tou getting shot in the head so cluelessly, Chu Batian couldn’t help but sigh.
"That’s on him for being useless. A martial master who can’t even sense such a crisis deserves to be killed."
Tang Ming sneered dismissively, "Get soone to deal with his body."
As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Ming nodded and bowed slightly toward the opposite villa, then turned and went inside.
"At least that bastard has so sense."
In her bedroom, Shen Yan fiddled with the sniper rifle, smiling with satisfaction, then began aiming at the car where Yang Wei was located.
"There’s actually a sniper?"
When Shi Tou was taken out, Yang Wei hurriedly started the car to flee the scene.
He thought Tang Xin had no cultivation and could be easily manipulated, but unexpectedly, there was an expert secretly protecting them. Truly a trap.
Shen Yan didn’t target Yang Wei, as she didn’t witness Shi Tou getting out of Yang Wei’s car and wasn’t sure if they were accomplices.
Thus, the farce ended.
Tang Ming returned to his room to continue ditating and cultivating, hoping to repair his Dantian soon.
He didn’t want to bother with the world-turning changes outside; as for industries and allies, he had already seen through them.
He ca to Songlan City for two purposes, and in the future, he would focus on breaking off the engagent and uncovering his identity; matters of industry and allies would be dealt with if he had the energy, or left to take their course if not.
Clearly, what he needed now was more ti to restore his cultivation, not having the energy to worry about so many things; restoring his cultivation was the key.
The next day, Liu ngting and Li Xiaoli went to school and found that Xia Wei’er hadn’t shown up.
Thinking Xia Wei’er might have been taken away by people from Rainbow Cloud Peak, the two girls were worried.
Although Xia Wei’er being with Tang Ming made them feel uneasy, in the end, they were all good friends; Xia Wei’er’s disappearance saddened them.
During lunch break, Liu ngting and Li Xiaoli went to Xia Wei’er’s ho, only to find no one there and no answer after knocking for a long ti, and Xia Wei’er’s phone was unreachable.
Finally, they headed to the snack street and checked out the situation at Xia Wei’er’s family’s ice cream shop.
"Oh dear, ng ng, do you think Wei’er might have already been taken away?"
Standing at the ice cream shop entrance, Li Xiaoli worriedly surveyed inside.
"I’m not sure. I don’t know how Wei’er explained this to her parents. Once we go in, make sure you don’t say anything rash; we’ll first test the waters."
Liu ngting instructed with a serious face.
"Okay, okay, I promise not to say anything rash and let ng ng do the talking."
Li Xiaoli nodded solemnly.
When they entered, Wei’er’s mom was busy in the shop. Seeing them, she warmly greeted, "It’s been so long since you visited, what brings you here today? Co, sit down, what would you like to eat?"
"Ahem, we’ll just have sothing simple."
Liu ngting found a seat and tentatively asked, "Has Wei’er been around the shop?"
"Wei’er went to be an exchange student, didn’t you know?"
Wei’er’s mom looked at Liu ngting, puzzled.
"Ah? When did she leave?"
Liu ngting reacted in surprise.
"She left this morning, said she wouldn’t return until before the college entrance exams. We owe a big thanks to your school’s leaders for taking such care of Wei’er."
Wei’er’s mom murmured gratefully.
"Maybe it’s because we’ve been busy these past few days and haven’t been to school, so we weren’t aware of it."
Liu ngting responded with mixed emotions.
"It’s normal not to know. I find it quite unbelievable myself. I heard she’s going to a militarized managent school, no cell phones, no vacations; once she’s gone, there’s no word. I’m quite worried."
Wei’er’s mom muttered reluctantly.
"No need to worry, this is a good thing for Wei’er. Such an experience will surely boost her college entrance exam scores."
Li Xiaoli exclaid earnestly.
"Yes, yes, it’s all for the sake of better results."
Wei’er’s mom nodded repeatedly, warmly saying, "I’ll make you an iceboat, you two sit tight."
With that, Wei’er’s mom headed back to the operation room to get busy.
"Oh dear, it seems Wei’er left with a plan, her parents have no idea what happened."
Li Xiaoli whispered to Liu ngting.
"Yes, even Wei’er’s parents... even we can’t accept the Rainbow Cloud Peak situation, let alone ordinary people."
Liu ngting sighed and said helplessly, "It looks like Wei’er really has left, but who knows when she’ll return."
"Hehe, actually, it’s good that Wei’er left. Now ng ng can take advantage of her absence."
Li Xiaoli chuckled mischievously.
"Nonsense. If you hadn’t injured Tang Ming, Wei’er wouldn’t have put herself out to save him."
Liu ngting glared at Li Xiaoli fiercely.
"Boo hoo, ng ng still blas , I didn’t an to."
Li Xiaoli looked at Liu ngting with grievance, filled with guilt and self-bla over the matter.
"Alright, alright, let’s just finish eating and head back."
Liu ngting sighed, thinking Tang Ming would be heartbroken by this news.
"Say, if it were you, ng ng, would you sacrifice yourself to save brother Tang Ming?"
Li Xiaoli seriously looked at Liu ngting and asked.
"I..."
Liu ngting moved her lips but did not reply.
Back when Li Xiaoli was controlled, she already used her body to protect Tang Ming, proving her feelings then and there.
When Li Xiaoli and Liu ngting returned to campus dejectedly, Xia Wei’er appeared in the alley opposite the school gate.
