The monk could not wait to smash his staff into Cat Girl and turning her into mush and still wanted to scream that Buddha was benevolent. That was why Ning Que said that he did not seem to understand what being benevolent meant as he held the podao against the monk's neck.
The skin on the monk's neck trembled beneath the blade. He looked at Ning Que's clothing in surprise and said hoarsely, "You're Tang?"
Ning Que nodded.
The monk forced himself to calm down. He looked to the other side of the blade and said, "What you have done is called a sneak attack."
Ning Que did not look at him, but at the snowflakes that landed on the blade and said, "If you say so."
The monk did not expect this answer and was stunned speechless. His shadowed face beneath the bamboo hat stiffened in anger. He said, "Are you going to be unreasonable?"
Ning Que smiled at him. "You weren't being reasonable either."
The monk was speechless.
