Xue Ning Learned a New Skill

Hua Xuening nodded. "It's true!"

"Master said so! He said he likes you—he likes your saber skills and archery, your Lightness Skill and Body Protection Skill, and he also likes your..."

Zhang Jiucheng covered his mouth and reminded her quietly, "Say something else, like how pretty she is."

"Oh, right!" Hua Xuening said. "Master said he likes your face and figure. Even though you're not as flirtatious as Sister Shi Yin and Sister Mei Shao, you're still acceptable."

Li Zhenchen sneered. "That kind of nonsense might fool a three-year-old..."

"Did he really say that?" Zhuge Xiaohua became excited.

Li Zhenchen looked at Zhuge Xiaohua. "Miss Xiao Hua, this is obviously something this girl made up to fool you. You can't..."

"Don't talk!"

Zhuge Xiaohua asked Hua Xuening, "Xue Ning, is what you said true?"

"Of course! If I'm lying, then let the year be divided into four seasons, heaven and earth be split into two poles, rivers forever flow only downward, and wind, thunder, rain, and snow all become natural phenomena!"

Li Zhenchen felt that this oath was rather improper.

Zhuge Xiaohua pursed her lips and smiled. "Just as I thought. Hmph, he acted all cool in front of me, but he clearly likes me!"

Hua Xuening was delighted. "Wow! It really worked! Exactly! Master definitely likes you!"

Li Zhenchen stopped her. "Miss Xiao Hua, she's lying to you. A year was already divided into four seasons, heaven and earth were already split into two poles, and rivers..."

Zhuge Xiaohua was furious.

"Why do you have so much to say? Annoying! Xue Ning, has he... been thinking about me lately?"

"Yes!"

Having successfully lied, Hua Xuening felt incredibly capable.

The super-capable kind!

Her confidence surged. Keeping Zhuge Xiaohua from leaving was secondary now; she wanted to verify her lying abilities
