Chapter 787: Chapter 0787: The Gunslinger

"What could you possibly need?"

Tang Ming, wearing a bathrobe, was drying his hair as he headed to the door.

The moment he stepped out, he saw Li Wenxuan lying on the couch in a black Victoria’s Secret sexy nightgown, gazing at him, the faint outline of peaks discernible, her snow-white, flawless long legs on display...

"Cough cough, Teacher Li, are you trying to seduce me?"

Tang Ming coughed twice, cast aside his stray thoughts, and said resolutely, "Even if you seduce me, I’m not going to marry you."

"You wish."

Li Wenxuan gave Tang Ming a look, and said oddly, "I was actually considering agreeing to your request since you’re a quick shooter. Even if I let you touch me, it’s only a matter of seconds, and you probably wouldn’t even break the barrier, so there wouldn’t be any loss. But then I thought about it and found it disgusting, so forget it, especially since I’ve already dealt with my brother forcing marriage on me."

"Who are you calling a quick shooter?"

Hearing her words, Tang Ming’s face was lined with black.

"Heh, why not go and ask Wei’er, and you’ll know. Dare you say Wei’er isn’t a virgin now?"

Li Wenxuan looked at Tang Ming oddly as she asked.

"Of course, Wei’er is... How did I get tricked into this by you?"

Tang Ming was at a loss for words. According to Li Wenxuan, if Wei’er was a virgin, it meant he had finished before he even started, solidifying his reputation as a quick shooter. But in reality, he hadn’t laid a finger on Xia Wei’er, so naturally, she was still untouched.

"So there you go, no matter how sexy I am, it’s useless to you, so I might as well not bother covering up."

Li Wenxuan straightened her dress and looked at Tang Ming with an air of triumph.

"Forget it, I don’t have time to explain to you."

Tang Ming rolled his eyes and, sitting opposite Li Wenxuan, continued to dry his hair, "What do you want with me, really? I’m very sleepy right now and don’t have the energy to bicker with you."

"Of course, I have serious things to talk about, but before that, tell me, what’s the deal with Tang Xin?"

Li Wenxuan sat up straight, looking at Tang Ming quizzically. She had considered that Tang Xin might be Tang Ming, but Tang Xin’s identity and background were too intimidating, and they seemed to have no connection with Tang Ming the student, so she was uncertain.

"Heh, that’s not part of my services, and as for his matters, I must keep them confidential," Tang Ming laughed, giving an ambiguous response, neither confirming nor denying, and threw out a smokescreen.

"Such an identity certainly requires secrecy."

Li Wenxuan nodded understandingly, then got straight to the point, "My issue has been resolved, and I’ve declined the family meeting you were invited to, telling them that I’ve sent you back to Songlan City for remedial classes, working hard on your studies."

"That’s good, I prefer the peace."

Tang Ming nodded in satisfaction.

"So you better behave in the coming days, and make sure my brother doesn’t find out you’re still in the provincial city. Otherwise, it blows our cover, got it?"

Li Wenxuan reminded him seriously. This was precisely the reason she had come to look for Tang Ming.

"Understood."

Tang Ming thought about it, and planned to sleep in at the hotel until he woke naturally, which should be around the time everyone was heading back to Songlan City. There was no need to show his face again.

It seemed that using Tang Xin’s name to appease the Qi Family was a wise move, inadvertently coordinating with Li Wenxuan.

"Good, as long as you understand."

Li Wenxuan slowly stood up and, as she walked toward the room, turned her head to look at Tang Ming, shaking her head regretfully, "You’re actually a good guy, it’s a pity you’re a ’quick shooter.’ Otherwise, marrying you wouldn’t be so bad."

No sooner had she finished speaking than Li Wenxuan entered the room without looking back.

"What’s the deal? You’re the ’quick shooter’ here, I’m a real man, okay?"

Angry, Tang Ming threw the towel onto the floor and shouted through gritted teeth, "If it wasn’t because I’m a gentleman, I would’ve taken you by force today and shown you what a real man is, this is infuriating."

Even Tang Ming couldn’t take being misunderstood as a ’quick shooter’ lightly; which man could withstand such a blow?

Just as Tang Ming was fuming with anger, his phone rang again. It was a call from Su Xiaoxi, probably to update him on the situation back home. Tang Ming controlled his emotions and answered the call, "Huff, huff, huff, I’m in a bad mood right now, if you’re telling me the mission is over, I’ve already got the message."

"Who said the mission is over?"

Caught off guard, Su Xiaoxi quickly replied, "I’m calling to tell you that we need to meet tomorrow, I might need to ask for your help again."

"I will not help."

Tang Ming refused without hesitation; to be someone’s shield in this way was too frustrating.

To be Li Wenxuan’s shield only to be misunderstood as a man of quick conquests, if he kept being Su Xiaoxi’s shield, who knows what else he’d be mistaken for.

"Why are you so angry?"

Noting the anger in Tang Ming’s tone, Su Xiaoxi asked in confusion, "You’ve always been a man who stands tall and proud, what could have happened to make you this upset?"

"A man who stands tall and proud?"

Hearing these words, Tang Ming felt validated, and his mood immediately improved considerably.

"Yeah, even when your cultivation was disabled, you were able to handle things smoothly. Why are your emotions so easily swayed now?" Su Xiaoxi asked, puzzled.

"Cough cough, who said my emotions are unstable? I just don’t want to keep bothering with such troubles."

Tang Ming yawned, and asked indifferently, "Alright, what’s the problem this time? You should already be very clear about my rules. If you want me to take action, you must..."

"Pay, right?"

Su Xiaoxi interrupted Tang Ming, speaking with annoyance, "Don’t worry, I won’t make you help for nothing, let’s talk in detail when we meet tomorrow."

"Okay."

Tang Ming nodded. With Su Xiaoxi’s comment about him being a ’big man,’ he felt he had to meet this woman, practically his soul therapist.

"Then you get some good rest tonight, and we’ll discuss the specifics tomorrow."

After giving her advice, Su Xiaoxi hung up the phone.

After ending the call, Tang Ming immediately held up his phone and shouted towards Li Wenxuan’s room door, "Did you hear that? People acknowledge I’m a big man. It’s only you, this blind woman, who would call me a quick shooter. I’m a man, a real man."

Li Wenxuan, who was applying a facial mask in her bedroom, rolled her eyes upon hearing Tang Ming’s words, "Crazy person, the more you explain, the worse it looks. Just look at how he’s fussing in embarrassment; I bet he’s even quicker than a ’quick shooter.’ Could it be that he has erectile dysfunction?"

The next morning, in a three-room suite at the Blue Sky Hotel.

"Oh, my head."

Chen Cang, with a swollen nose and bruised face, slowly opened his eyes and instinctively rubbed his head, his hangover causing him a splitting headache.

Looking at the ceiling of the suite, Chen Cang tried to recall the events, it seemed that yesterday, due to excitement from watching the two masters spar, he had drunk an entire bottle of Moutai, and that was a full jin of strong liquor.
