After Xue Ming Tai left, Sister Ying and the other two Elite Offspring also left the waterside pavilion.
Three other young men, bored from waiting and suffering from burns caused by a cigarette, did so as well.
They, too, with faces aching from burn wounds, left the pavilion at Little Mirror Lake.
Only Fang Tang and Fan Song waited uneasily for Luo Ming Xia.
More than twenty minutes later, Luo Ming Xia rushed in hurriedly.
Fang Tang's eyes brightened, and he hastily went up to her.
"Cousin, how did it go, what did Xue Ming Tai say?"
Slap!
Luo Ming Xia swung her arm round and gave Fang Tang a heavy slap across the face.
His broken-legged glasses flew off, and he spun around, collapsing to the ground.
Fang Tang was stunned by the blow.
He covered his burning cheek, sobbing, "Cousin, why are you…"
Luo Ming Xia's phoenix eyes widened as she glared at Fang Tang.
"You know very well what mischief you've been up to," she said.
