Tang Li was instantly full of question marks. An unsettling thought popped into his mind...
Wouldn't this be a little inappropriate?
If Mom and Dad found out, they'd definitely break my legs, wouldn't they?
This... should I turn her down? But I only just managed to soothe her. If I upset Tang Wulin again, who knew what other trouble she'd stir up?
Ugh, this was a tough one!
Tang Li's mind went into overdrive as he weighed the pros and cons of every possibility. Tang Wulin, who was straddling him, saw his expression changing wildly and assumed her weight was making him uncomfortable. She immediately hopped off him.
"Xiao Li, what's wrong? Are you okay? Was I hurting you?"
"It's not that. It's just... this cultivation..."
Seeing Tang Li's troubled expression, Tang Wulin hurriedly explained:
"I just got the cultivation method for the Mysterious Heaven Skill from Teacher Wu. Some of its Soul Power circulation routes seemed a lot like the ones you used when you guided my cultivation before, so I wanted you to cultivate with me. If it puts you in a difficult position, forget it. Please don't force yourself!"
Tang Wulin had heard Wu Zhangkong explain that every major organization had its own rules. Prohibiting the teaching of cultivation methods to outsiders was only the most basic of them.
At first, she had assumed that since Spirit Ice Douluo, the founder of the Spirit Pagoda, had also belonged to the Tang Sect, their cultivation methods would be the same. At the very least, there ought to be some connection, enough for him to help her familiarize herself with it.
But seeing Tang Li's reaction, she immediately remembered the Tang Sect rules Teacher Wu had told her about and came to that conclusion.
She didn't want Tang Li
