Tang San Reveals His Trump Card and Proposes Another Bet, Exposing His Hypocritical Nature!

Chi Xiu put his mask back on and carefully checked it over again. He glanced at Xiao Wu, then walked away somewhat guiltily to help Ning Rongrong up from the ground.

But Ning Rongrong got up by herself before Chi Xiu could reach her. Grabbing him, she asked curiously, "Did your mask fall off just now?!"

"You're not worried about whether I'm hurt? The first thing you ask is whether my mask fell off?"

Chi Xiu stared at her disdainfully.

"Come on! Tell me, did your mask fall off just now?"

Ning Rongrong was actually a little excited, as if she had discovered a whole new world.

"Yeah. So what?"

"So the mask isn't welded to your face after all! Take it off and let me see. I didn't get a look at what you looked like just now!"

Ning Rongrong was thrilled. After saying that, she stood on tiptoe and reached for the mask on Chi Xiu's face.

Chi Xiu waved his hand.

"No. I'm ugly."

"I still want to see even if you're ugly! Hurry up, Chi Xiu-gege!"

Chi Xiu ignored her.

Ning Rongrong stomped her foot unhappily. Unable to do anything about Chi Xiu, she looked toward Xiao Wu and ran over.

"Xiao Wu, I didn't mean to touch your waist just now."

Tang San was looking at Xiao Wu apologetically, but Xiao Wu could not take in a word. Her mind was still replaying the face she had seen six years ago and the one she had just seen. The two faces completely overlapped.

The more she thought about it, the more unbelievable it felt.

Who exactly was this young man?

Why had he appeared on her bed before and known her true identity, yet deliberately pretended not to recognize her when they met just now?

This should have been the best outcome. Since he was pretending not to know her, her identity could remain secret.

But Xiao Wu still could not help wanting to know who Chi Xiu was.

After all, Chi Xiu's existence was like a ticking time bomb to her.

"Xiao Wu..."

Tang San tugged on Xiao Wu's arm. "Xiao Wu? Are you listening to me? It was an emergency just now, and I didn't have time to think..."

"What are you doing!"

Xiao Wu pulled her arm free and gave Tang San a strange look before turning directly toward Chi Xiu.

But Ning Rongrong, who had run over, blocked her path.

"Did you see what he looks like just now?"

Ning Rongrong looked at Xiao Wu expectantly with her beautiful wide eyes.

Xiao Wu nodded in confusion. "I did. Why?"

"What does he look like?!"

Ning Rongrong was so excited that she even took Xiao Wu's hands.

"What does he look like..."

Xiao Wu's gaze passed over Ning Rongrong and settled on Chi Xiu's back.

After staring for a while, that handsome face surfaced in her mind again. This time, the impression was especially deep. Perhaps because six years had passed, that guy had become many times better-looking than before.

"To be honest, he's the best-looking man I've ever seen... He's as handsome as an immortal."

Xiao Wu spoke with a dazed expression.

"Really?!"

Ning Rongrong's emerald eyes instantly lit up.

Xiao Wu nodded. After walking around Ning Rongrong, she came to Chi Xiu's side. She warily looked around, then grabbed Chi Xiu's arm and pulled him aside.

"Who exactly are you? Why did you appear here again? Did you follow me here?"

"You've mistaken me for someone else..."

Chi Xiu pulled his arm free. Though he felt guilty, he still forced himself to remain calm.

Xiao Wu frowned. "I remember your face perfectly clearly!"

After saying that, her face reddened slightly. She turned away and refused to look at Chi Xiu. "Maybe it's because you're ridiculously good-looking... so I remember you especially well. Don't even think about denying it!"

To be honest, after six years, Xiao Wu had also grown into a great beauty. Her figure was slender and curvaceous, with pink knee-high socks beneath her short skirt and fair, tender thighs exposed. Dressed like this, she was no less alluring than Zhu Zhuqing.

When her face reddened, even her rabbit ears perked up. Chi Xiu actually stared blankly for a moment.

Pinching himself in secret, Chi Xiu instantly snapped awake. Damn it, men were such a pain!

"Don't worry. I won't expose your identity. As for why I appeared on your bed back then, that's what I found when I woke up."

Chi Xiu turned to leave after saying that.

"I don't believe you! Come back!"

Xiao Wu hurriedly reached out to grab him, but accidentally stepped on a rock. "Ah!" she cried as her ankle twisted and she fell toward Chi Xiu.

Hearing the sound, Chi Xiu turned around, only for a fragrant, soft body to suddenly crash into his arms. The two fell to the ground, staring straight into each other's eyes.

"If I say I stepped on a rock, would you believe me?"

Xiao Wu explained weakly, so embarrassed that heat seemed to be pouring from both her ears.

Ning Rongrong and Tang San were both dumbfounded by the scene.

"Let her go!"

"Let him go!"

The two onlookers shouted in unison, then rushed over one after the other.

Tang San pulled Xiao Wu up, while Ning Rongrong helped Chi Xiu to his feet. She carefully brushed the dust from his back, then pulled him away from Xiao Wu and Tang San. Looking at Xiao Wu warily, she demanded, "What are you trying to do to him?!"

Xiao Wu remained silent. It was a secret between her and Chi Xiu, one she could not tell anyone else.

"Xiao Wu, are you all right?"

Tang San looked at Xiao Wu with concern, but she immediately shook off his hand. "I'm fine. Don't touch me."

Tang San had already grown accustomed to Xiao Wu's attitude, so he did not care much. He merely studied her expression and recalled what had just happened. As perceptive as he was, he quickly realized something.

"Could he be the person you've been looking for all this time?"

Xiao Wu remained silent.

Tang San suddenly sneered and looked at Chi Xiu. "So it was you. What exactly did you do to Xiao Wu back then?! For quite a while, she was distractedly searching everywhere for you! Not only did it delay her cultivation, but she was nearly captured by Soul Beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest!"

Xiao Wu looked embarrassed.

That was when she had returned to the Star Dou Great Forest to search for news of Chi Xiu, only for Tang San to mistakenly think she had been captured by Soul Beasts.

"I didn't do anything. Your friend merely has the wrong person."

Of course Chi Xiu knew why Xiao Wu had gone to the Star Dou Great Forest. He did not want to explain further and pulled Ning Rongrong away.

But that little brat actually turned back and made a face at Tang San. "You're jealous, aren't you? You couldn't win a girl's heart, so you're taking it out on my Chi Xiu-gege! Bleh, bleh, bleh! What a sucker!"

"You!"

Tang San frowned. He secretly glanced at Xiao Wu, only to find her looking at him strangely and even deliberately putting more distance between them again.

Tang San did like Xiao Wu, but ever since six years ago, her attitude toward him had changed abruptly, as if she had become a completely different person. It had to be related to that masked young man.

"Wait. How about making a bet with me?"

Tang San spoke coldly to Chi Xiu.

Chi Xiu wanted to laugh when he heard that. Another bet. This kid had loved making bets in the original story, then relying on his cheats to win time and again.

But Chi Xiu was somewhat interested now. He turned around.

"How are we betting? What are we betting on?"

Tang San snorted coldly.

"Aren't you very strong? Then let's bet that if you can't knock me to the ground within the time it takes an incense stick to burn, you'll apologize to Teacher Zhao and the people you injured just now. And you'll never see Xiao Wu again. You've harmed her enough already."

Chi Xiu could not help frowning at that.

"Tang San, Tang San. At first, I didn't dislike you that much, but I never expected you to truly be a hypocrite through and through. You just met these people, and you're neither friends nor family with them, yet you're making me apologize to them?"

"You think far too highly of yourself!"

Chi Xiu sneered. "Are you trying to leave a good impression on Shrek and make up for the regret of failing the test and being unable to join the academy?"

"And you came up with some lousy excuse to stop me from seeing Xiao Wu. Do you think that means she'll like you?"

Xiao Wu frowned. "Don't talk nonsense. I'd never like him!"

Tang San stared blankly at Xiao Wu, took a deep breath, and clenched his fists.

He spoke coldly to Chi Xiu. "Just tell me, do you dare to bet or not!"

"Click."

Chi Xiu's ears twitched. He heard the sound of a mechanism being triggered.

It seemed Tang San was planning to use the hidden weapons he had used against Zhao Wuji in the original story on him... Chi Xiu found it amusing. Did he think I'm on the same level as Zhao Wuji?

"I'll bet. But I have my own stakes as well."
