Chapter 202: Ye Ming (2/2)

'What the hell is going on here,' she thought.

She looked up and saw the guild name printed above where the door should've been.

[ Nameless Guild ]

'Nameless guild, huh. Why would anyone station their guild in the middle of nowhere. Judging by this mess, it seems like they already made a powerful enemy.'

Thinking about whether she should continue practicing her secret cultivation method in these secluded woods or not, she eventually sighed when she came to a conclusion.

'These woods are no longer safe. I'll need to find somewhere else to train in secret,' she thought.

The cultivation method she was practicing was best trained in the woods. Unfortunately, these woods no longer seemed safe. Thinking about it reminded her about Xiao Fang.

'Perhaps this is where that man named Long Wang resides. If that's the case, then I better leave before he--'

She suddenly heard footsteps coming from within the guild house, putting her on high alert. In the next moment the person she heard coming revealed himself, making her panic when she saw him. The person she was looking at was none other than Xiao Fang, and on his waist was a guild nameplate that read a name that matched the house he was in.

[ Nameless ]

”I-It's not what it looks like. I just got here,” she quickly said.

Xiao Fang knew she didn't break his door down. He could've told her that he knew, but he decided to scare her a bit just for fun.

With his hands behind his back, he took a step forward in her direction. In response, Ye Ming took a step back.

”What are you doing? I told you it wasn't me.”

”There was no one else around. Who else could it be?” He replied.

He took another step forward and she took another step back.

Her heart was beating rapidly and her body was sweating nervously. She was trying her best to conceal her worry, but Xiao Fang could easily see through it.

”I told you that I was stronger than you. Did you come here to pick a fight with me?” Xiao Fang asked.

”No, I told you that I didn't do it. I didn't even know you lived here.”

”Is that so,” he said as he took another step.

”Y-Y-You better not come any closer, you hear me?!”

”Loud and clear.”

Xiao Fang took one more step.

”You... you...”

Xiao Fang finally smiled.

”Don't worry, I know it wasn't you.”

Ye Ming was hesitant to believe his words.

”I don't understand. Why do you believe me?”

”Just look around, if you tried to break my door down then why would all of its pieces be out here and not inside my guild house?” Xiao Fang explained.

Ye Ming's eyes widened when she realized this fact. She had been looking at it this whole time, but it never once occurred to her that it was strange.

”You right! That means it definitely couldn't have been me,” she said in relief.

”Mn, besides, breaking my door down isn't something you could pull off even if you tried,” Xiao Fang said in a bit of a mocking tone.

Although she was relieved, she still took offense to his words.

”Hmph, as far as you know I could tear your stupid door down with a single finger,” she scoffed.

”Oh? Is that a confession?”

”Ah, I... I just meant-”

”I know. Perhaps next time you can show me what you're really capable of,” he said, leaving room for interpretation.

Ye Ming frowned as she stomped her foot down. She didn't like that he was bullying her and it made her want to kill him even more.

Till now, she wanted to get rid of him simply because he knew her secret, but now she really wanted to break his neck.

”Next time?” She echoed his words in confusion, but then she watched as he walked past her.

”Ah, wait for me.”
