”Xiaoru, what are you thinking about?” Samantha pinched Ma Xiaoru's cheek and asked.
”Ah... Nothing...”
”No need to hide it, it is written all over your face.”
”Really?” Ma Xiaoru touched her cheek out of instinct.
”Haha, it's never too late to consult the wise.” Samantha suddenly closed in, wrapping her arms around Ma Xiaoru as if measuring her bosom. ”Oh… The fire of love is strong with this one.”
”Stop, you weirdo.”
”Come here, you little girl, tell me what's on your mind!” Samantha commanded as if Ma Xiaoru was an innocent 6-year-old.
”It's nothing... It's just that I can feel that Wang Tong is not that into me,” the words seemed to have taken the wind out of Ma Xiaoru's sail.
”Why do you think so? That Wang Tong does not deserve you, and you know it! How about your Tactics of the Enchantress? Isn't it suppose to be the best weapon for enslaving a man's heart? Even General Li Feng had fallen for it.”
”I am not entirely sure myself, but even my tactics seemed to become sluggish as if I had hit a wall,” Ma Xiaoru said helplessly.
”You are giving yourself way too much pressure. It's one of the top-five tactics after all. Seeing how much it had clashed with your personality, I was pretty surprised when you told me that you had learned it in the first place. Even if you didn't, your family was in a different line of business; your cultivation, therefore, was more of a symbolic gesture to demonstrate the friendship between the Ma and the Li.”
”I know, I know. But I seem to have hit the wall too early; I start to wonder if I am really in...” Ma Xiaoru choked back, finding it hard to say the simple word out loud.
”Haha, so our princess was indeed in love with Wang Tong. I have no idea what about him had attacked you. Every time I saw him, I just had the urge to punch him in that sly face,” Samantha said as she thought about the irritating face of Wang Tong. ”Love makes one hesitant. Trust me, just be yourself and enjoy your life. Don't think too much.”
Ma Xiaoru nodded blankly as she still didn't understand the cause of her sudden sluggish progress in her cultivation.
Any tactics that dabbled in physic abilities, to some degree, had its countermeasures, just like it was the countermeasure of many other tactics. Unknown to Ma Xiaoru, Wang Tong's Tactics of the Blade was the most effective countermeasure to the Tactics of the Enchantress, and that was the reason behind the sudden slow down of Ma Xiaoru's cultivation.
Hu Yangxuan had to carry Wang Tong home after their after-party. The first few cups of drinks seemed to have no effect on Wang Tong, but to Hu Yangxuan's surprise, Wang Tong planted his faced down quickly after a few more cups.
Hu Yangxuan was half way there as well, so he turned on his autopilot. It was already midnight when they arrived at Wang Tong's dorm.
