“Congratulations, young master Xiao. Now you are officially a martial artist at the mid-level master stage.” Lan Ruoxi clapped her hands as she smiled.
“Thank you.” at first, Xiao Tian wanted to ask why she kept firing the arrows earlier, but he decided not to do that after thinking for several seconds.
“Now that you are officially a martial artist at the mid-level master stage, I have good news for you.” Lan Ruoxi didn’t tell him directly about it.
“Hmm? What is it? Are you going to say I can sleep with you now?” Xiao Tian said jokingly.
“Hehe.” Lan Ruoxi giggled after hearing his remarks. “Your current strength is still not enough to defeat me.”
Of course, Xiao Tian knew about this. “So, what is it?”
Lan Ruoxi gave the data to Xiao Tian and replied. “Here read it.”
The expression of deep shock blossomed on Xiao Tian’s face when he read the data. On the data, it was written that the speed of the arrows that were shot at him earlier was not 60 meters/second, but 70 meters/second.
Since Lan Ruoxi had increased the speed of the arrows from the start, Xiao Tian didn’t notice it.
“Your reflexes are already in the category of high-level master stage.” Lan Ruoxi uttered, “Because of how much you desire to become stronger, I secretly increased the speed of the arrows from the start. You won’t be mad at me, will you?”
“No. I’m angry. I want to punish you now.” of course, he was joking around when he said that because deep inside him, he was grateful for her actions.
“Your body is drenched in sweat now. You should shower first before thinking about something dirty.” Lan Ruoxi knew that Xiao Tian was joking.
“Fine. But be prepared because I will punish you after taking a shower.” Xiao Tian also felt uncomfortable with his body covered in sweat. That was why he wanted to take a bath.
‘What a pervert young man!’
Lan Ruoxi said in her mind.
Since there was no point in staying in the training room, Lan Ruoxi headed to the private room. Because Xiao Tian practiced martial arts for about two hours, he took a bath longer than usual.
‘Huft. Maybe I should leave some of my clothes in her place so that I don’t need to bring clothes every time I want to practice martial arts.’
After putting on his clothes, Xiao Tian headed to a private room because Lan Ruoxi usually waited for him in the private room.
“By the way, where is Zhao Sheng? I haven’t seen him in the last few days.” Xiao Tian inquired.
“He is on the mountain now.” of course, Lan Ruoxi knew about this because of her relationship with the Zhao family.
“Mountain?” Xiao Tian was startled after hearing her words. “What is he doing on the mountain?”
Zhao Sheng was someone who loved spending time with women, so he was curious as to why Zhao Sheng suddenly went to the mountain.
“What else except to practice martial arts.” Lan Ruoxi replied. “His father and grandfather dragged him to the mountain to train him. They want him to break through to the mid-level master stage as quickly as possible. They even threatened him that they would destroy his companies if he refused to practice martial arts with them.”
At this moment, Xiao Tian suddenly felt sorry for Zhao Sheng. “They are so mean to him.”
“But I’m sure he’ll be back in two or three days.” Lan Ruoxi replied. “I have received information that he has broken through to the mid-level master stage four days ago.”
“Four days ago?” Xiao Tian said in surprise.
Previously, he thought Zhao Sheng still hadn’t broken through to the mid-level master stage, but he was wrong.
‘Ah! I forgot that he is also a genius in martial arts.’
Xiao Tian said in his head.
“Yes.” Lan Ruoxi nodded her head. “The reason why he is still in the mountain is that his father and grandfather wants him to strengthen his foundation.”
“Forget about Zhao Sheng for now.” Xiao Tian suddenly rose to his feet and sat next to her. “Now is the time to punish you for lying to me.”
“Are you sure you want to punish me?” Lan Ruoxi made an expression as if she was challenging him to punish her. “Are you not you afraid of the consequences later?”
“I, Xiao Tian, am not afraid of anything.” After saying that, Xiao Tian made Lan Ruoxi face him. “Bad lady must be punished or else she will continue to rebel.”
At first, Xiao Tian thought Lan Ruoxi would bite his lower lip again like usual, but he was wrong. Not only did she not do that, she even let him do whatever he wanted. This made Xiao Tian stop the kiss and look at her in confusion.
“Oh! You’ve finished punishing me?!” Lan Ruoxi said in surprise. “I thought you would kiss me wildly for a long time before.”
Because she said something like that, Xiao Tian kissed her lips again. They kissed passionately for a long time before finally, Xiao Tian left.

Wuzo Town, The Chao Family Home.
“Miss Flower, I want you to kill this person.” Chao Ming Hai gave Xiao Tian’s picture to the person who was sitting on the opposite side of him.
Since he wanted to kill Xiao Tian, he decided to pay an assassin. Flower was a famous assassin in Wuzo city. That was why he chose to pay her.
Of course, Flower was not her real name. Because it was a dirty job, she could not use her real name.
‘Him?’
Flower’s eyes widened for a second when she found out her next target was Xiao Tian, the young man she had met twice in two days.
Yes. She was the one who bumped into Xiao Tian when they were at the juice shop. She had two jobs, and one of them was as an assassin.
Even though she was still young, she had killed many people before. And because she was so good at hiding her true identity, until now, no one knew who she was.
This was why she always wore a veil when she was working as an assassin.
“You know the rules, right?” Flower had a few rules as an assassin.
One of the rules was that they had to pay her in full before she killed his target. Sure, it was weird, but everyone never thought she would run away with the money because she had one principle after receiving the money from them; she dies, or the target dies.
“I know.” Chao Ming Hai put the bag full of money on the table. “This is your payment.”
Since she didn’t want to be fooled by Chao Ming Hai, she checked the money first. After she was sure it was real money, she spoke, “I accept it. I will kill him in a week at the most.”
“It’s okay if you can’t kill him in a week.” Chao Ming Hai uttered, “As long as he will die, I can wait much longer than that. I just want him to die no matter what.”
Flower took the bag and rose to her feet. “I will update the information later. And if you need anything. you can call me on that number.”
“All right.” Chao Ming Hai responded.
Since there was nothing to discuss, Flower left.
