Chapter 169 - His Aura Surrounded Her (1/2)

After her troubles, Liang Xinyi had suddenly become quietly responsible. She had even occasionally had a few nice words to say to Yun Xi.

Every time Yun Xi heard her forcing herself to say flattering things that she didn’t truly mean, Yun Xi always felt goose b.u.mps all over her body.

Saying these kinds of flattering things was uncharacteristic of Liang Xinyi. Yun Xi didn’t really care enough to get to the bottom of it and played along with a poker face.

Within a few days, she’d discovered that something was up between Liang Xinyi and Yun Chuhan.

Yun Chuhan had always been the low-key one, who’d acted like an invisible person in the Yun family.

Liang Xinyi had always looked down on this cousin, but recently she’d started glancing at her whenever she spoke or did anything, and she did so in an extremely obvious way.

Yun Xi wasn’t blind. Although she could see through everything that was happening, she didn’t say a word and kept pretending to be ignorant.

…

Ever since she’d agreed to learn lifesaving skills from Li Zilan, she’d been living on a high wire.

Li Zilan was living up to her notorious reputation as a devil and showed no mercy toward her.

Even when Mu Feichi was standing watching, Li Zilan never showed any mercy.

After learning various close-combat positions for a week, Yun Xi had memorized all the attacks. Combined with her knowledge of medical acupuncture points, although her progress was slow, it was also profound.

Although it was an arduous task, in Li Zilan’s eyes, it was useless to simply memorize positions, because one had to know how to apply them in practical situations.

This day, Yun Xi had made two successive mistakes. Li Zilan’s face darkened, and she kicked her onto the gra.s.s.

The punishment for each mistake was 50 push-ups, and Yun Xi struggled to finish the 100 push-ups.

In the end, she didn’t have any strength left at all, and she was visibly struggling.

Mu Feichi simply couldn’t stand watching this. He stood up from his chair under a tree and pulled her up from the gra.s.s.

“Young Marshal Mu, you’re being too easy on her!”
