《Alluring Smile (Yāoráo De Wéixiào)》Chapter 9.1 "The Master Is A Sweet Talker?"
Advertisement
Jia Wan Wan looked at Ah Fei caring eyes while he sat waiting for an answer. Jia Wan Wan felt that he noticed the heavy feeling inside her heart, she looked down and closed her eyes with a small smile.
“I must have shown something that shouldn’t be shown...”
She unconsciously looked at Ah Fei with a longing looks as his gentle smile comforted her. Jia Wan Wan lean closer and closer toward him, she leaned her head down and felt someone’s hand touched her hair. She closed her eyes and felt every movement of his gentle rub, Ah Fei gently moved his hand and felt each strand of Jia Wan Wan silky hair. A Warm comforting feeling started to stream down into Jia Wan Wan heart, she felt calm and happy; having someone cared about you was indeed blissful, she opened her eyes and looks at Ah Fei smile. And she finally smiled.
Ah Fei stopped and pulled back his arm, Jia Wan Wan who wasn’t feeling down anymore continued to paint on her table. to be patted on the head; she remembered Lin Xia Xia once liked to do this when she was just a little girl. He would do this when she did a great job, she would feel happy and Lin Xia would pat her head. If this was Lin Xia, Jia Wan Wan would laugh and giggle; But when Ah Fei patted her, the happiness that she felt was a bit different. She thought to herself, maybe because of her age, she didn't feel a sense of reward, maybe because she had grown, she now felt a sense of comfort. Jia Wan Wan thought that that was the answer...
Ah Fei looked at Jia Wan Wan who calmly painting with a smile, he then said.
“Jia Wan Wan, You are really amazing...”
“Hah......Ah Fei is more amazing...” Said Jia Wan Wan with a gentle smile.
Ah Fei then looked at her with a big smile.
“...A person who can write a beautiful poem is indeed talented, but a blind person who can writes letter is more amazing”
“...But the blind person can never compete against the talented person….” Said Jia Wan Wan calmly yet quickly.
Ah Fei then said,
“In speed and overall neatness, yes, but a great poem, comes from the main idea of the writer, as for the writing itself…”
Ah Fei then looked at Jia Wan Wan with a cunning smile
“Somebody can help the writer do it...”
Jia Wan Wan stopped her painting for a second to look at him. She smiled.
“Ah Fei, are you saying that even a blind person can win against a talented person if they were smart enough…”
“Hmmm… maybe… it all depends on the person themselves and fate, but I don’t mind too much about the result” Said Ah Fei with a satisfying smile.
“Ooo?… Ah Fei, so you’re more interested in the attitude of the person rather than the result?” Said Jia Wan Wan with curiosity

Ah Fei then cunningly smirked.
“When you can control the result, entertainment comes from the participant…”
“*Gasp”
Jia Wan Wan closed her eyes and gasp a little, she clenched her teeth and smiled, thinking to herself.
"this Ah Fei, he is indeed forceful, he is a natural-born God-like human, rich and good looking, he is truly a Master! it’s not that he doesn’t care about the result, but he is the one that determines the result. Ah, I’m starting to feel sorry for all the people that get on his bad side, I mean, Greater Heavenly Stage at the age of 18, thank Heaven he is from the most Stritch and Righteous Sect in the JiangHu, if not, then maybe XinTang Dynasty would plunge into chaos."
But there were some things that interest Jia Wan Wan after she heard Ah Fei said those word. She thought to herself, Ah Fei looked like the kind of person who was blessed by fortune since the day he was born. Jia Wan Wan had met these kinds of people before when she was with Lin Xia, usually these kinds of people belittle the unfortunate and the weak, but it seemed Ah Fei was different. She thought to herself, maybe because he was from a righteous sect like the Heavenly Blessings, he got a good moral value.
The sun was no more to be seen, and the moon gave its light to shine the small house. Jia Wan Wan finally finished her painting, she was pretty satisfied with her own works. she wouldn’t call it beautiful, but it was decent, she looked at Ah Fei on the terrace, and showed her the painting from the table.
“Ah Fei, what do you think?” Ask Jia Wan Wan seriously with a smile on her face.
Ah Fei looked at the painting for a bit, and then looked at Jia Wan Wan, he put on a little smile and said.
“Beautiful...”
“Ummm……... Ah Fei, it’s good to appreciate hard works but you shouldn’t always give a sweet comment like that, it would be hard for people to improve if you don’t give people critics…” Said Jia Wan Wan with a lecturing tone.
“Hmm…that would be hard for me………. Very well!” Said Ah Fei agreeing to her advice
Ah Fei pondered for a second. He folded his arm and touched his chin while looking at Jia Wan Wan briefly. Jia Wan Wan sat, preparing herself to receive critics from a master. Ah Fei then quickly smiled and said to her.
“You can try to tie your hair, I think you’ll become more beautiful.” Said Ah Fei with his warm smiles.
“Eh, Tie my……..*Gasp”
She closed her eyes, and tried to calm down as her face starting to blush, Jia Wan Wan thought to herself
"All this time, he is trying to comment me! The Master is too sly! I think each time I talk to him, few of my life force is being taken out of me, hah... the Master must have a lot of fans in Chang’An, he must be experienced in sweet talks and in The Art of Seduction "

She looked down so that Ah Fei wouldn’t see her embarrassed red face, she then said.
“I... was talking about the painting, not myself....” Said Jia Wan Wan with a smile, covering her embarrassed red face.
Ah Fei laughed a little and gave out a big satisfying smile.
“Oh......”
Still blushing, Jia Wan Wan laughed too, but if she continued without saying anything, she fears that she would be in a bad situation. The problem was, she couldn’t let her mind to be this happy. Jia Wan Wan assumed that Ah Fei was joking when he said that she was “Beautiful”, and for her to feel the self-satisfaction and pride to be told “Beautiful” by a Master like Ah Fei, all because of a joke, it meant that she had a big head. Jia Wan Wan looked at Ah Fei and started to asked for confirmation.
“Umm... Ah Fei, do you often said those sweet talks to people?” Ask Jia Wan Wan calmly as she was blushing
Ah Fei laughed a little, he said
“Truthfully, this is my first time saying those word, even though my friend told me those “sweet talks” from long ago, I have never wanted to use it.”
“Ummm... Ah Fei you don't usually sweet talking girls?”
Ah Fei looked at Jia Wan Wan face, he put on a small smile and sighed a little, he assured her
“Sigh....Never, this is my first time...” Said Ah Fei with a smile
Jia Wan Wan thought to herself
"Wa.... how rare, a person as Heavenly as him, doesn’t use his power to get girls. hmmm... he is from the Heavenly Blessing sect, maybe he has distanced himself from worldly ambition and worldly desires, and dedicate himself in cultivation."
Without thinking any other useless stuff, Jia Wan Wan cleaned up her painting. Something else interested Jia Wan Wan; Ah Fei was at The Greater Heavenly State, then who did he fight? That person or those people must be strong enough to able to wound a person like Ah Fei. She then asked Ah Fei
“Umm... Ah Fei, yesterday, when I found you, you are bleeding... Umm, I want to ask, how can you got wounded?” Asked Jia Wan Wan
Ah Fei then smiled at Jia Wan Wan.
“Hmm... you knew the Crimson Sky Sect right?”
Jia Wan Wan nodded, Ah Fei then continued.
“Then you know their leader, Lu Guo?” Asks Ah Fei calmly.
Jia Wan Wan with a curious expression answered
.
“Yes, I know him, is Lu Guo the person that fought you?”
“Hmm... you could say that.” said Ah Fei with a smile.
Jia Wan Wan then thought to herself, Lu Guo was also at Greater Heavenly State, and by experience, Lu Guo should be the better fighter! So it was likely that Lu Guo was the one that wound him. Now, another thing confused Jia Wan Wan, was Ah Fei get sparred by Lu Guo, or Ah Fei managed to run away from him; if he did manage to run away from him, that was more confusing, because Lu Guo was not the kind of person that let his target run away! Besides, even if Ah Fei managed to run away, Crimson Sky Sect member had to diligently chase him.
"Hmmm I wonder what he has done so that he is able to get away..."
Jia Wan Wan then asked Ah Fei
“Ah Fei do you run away from Lu Guo?”
With a smile Ah Fei answer “Yes, I technically fleeing from him, but don’t worry, the Crimson Sky Sect or Lu Guo won’t be chasing me....”
“Huh... Did you do something to them? What is it?” Asked Jia Wan Wan with curiosity, Ah Fei only let out a small laugh, he then calmly said
“You’ll know eventually, just wait, hehe”.
Jia Wan Wan let out a small sigh with a smile. It seemed she couldn’t force the Master to let out his secret. The night was getting late, Jia Wan Wan who was already sleepy decided that she would go to bet early today. And so the both of them prepared to go to sleep. This was the second night Ah Fei had stayed on her house, a couple more days after this she could go back to her daily routine; but as she thought that, she felt a bit sad, having someone to talk at home was quite nice. And with that thought, the 2 of them sleep.
In E Mei town, a certain house still had its lantern lit. Inside that house, Xiao Che was meditating on his bed, as he was meditating he could feel a formidable force, moving, shaking, inside his Spiritual Essence; he could feel a burning sensation all over his body, and drop after drop, sweat started to linger on his face.
“.....”
*Knock *Knock
Suddenly he heard a knock on the door. Xiao Che finished his meditation and touched his chest.
“The Great Dragon's Fire is starting to get restless.....”
He then opened the door,
“Xiao Che!!”
A girl suddenly gave Xiao Che a big hug, Xiao Che who was surprised couldn’t hold the sheer power of the girl, both of them then fell to the floor. Xiao Che who was confused rub his head to lessen the pain, he then saw a familiar face in front of him.
“Ouch... Lian’Er! Why are you here!?” Said Xiao Che with a confused expression

Rose was pretty sure the only thing out of the ordinary about her best friend, Kaz, is that he has an uncanny ability to annoy her. She was wrong. Actually, she was wrong about a lot of things. As it turns out, Kaz is not bad with a sword. In fact, "not bad" is probably an understatement. Apparently, there is a whole second world out there, one run by wielders of the blade. Will Rose be able to survive? Maybe, just maybe, she will find out that she is even stronger than she imagined. Or maybe she'll die. That could happen too. Arguably more likely. With that wonderful thought, let the sword fighting begin!
