BXBX NOVEL Chapter 168 - Su Mingxia’s Ploy
??
However, the truth was far from that and Yang Wei wondered if his mind was clogged by something to not detect any suspicion until now.
"You played me for a fool," Yang Wei complained as he glared at Su Mingxia.
Su Mingxia laughed awkwardly as she took a step back. She was afraid of Yang Wei now that she exposed her intention.
"Y-Yang Wei, calm down for a moment. Although I did it to escape from my family, there is really an item that I wanted in this cave." Su Mingxia then explained her action.
She showed a sincere expression that she was not fooling him this time and that she really had a motive to leave the sect.
Yang Wei sighed inwardly as he couldn\'t even do anything to her even if she really played him.
After all, his cultivation was insignificant to her and the fact that she was still his instructor.
"Sigh, then why did you want me to accompany you on this mission? Couldn\'t you have just escaped the sect alone?" Yang Wei rubbed his temples softly as he asked Su Mingxia.
Su Mingxia started fidgeting her finger as she heard Yang Wei\'s questions.
"You can stall for time but you would still have to answer me in the end." Yang Wei said in a raised tone.
She had already exposed her intention for this mission so Yang Wei found it unbelievable that she would still hide some details at this point.
Su Mingxia stomped her foot suddenly as she turned around and shouted, "I-It was a ploy recommended by Elder Jing."
"A ploy?"
"Un, I asked Elder Jing for advice because my family has been pressuring me ever since and she told me to find a random guy." Su Mingxia suddenly paused when she got up to this part.
Yang Wei twitched his mouth as he wasn\'t dense enough to not realize her meaning of finding a random guy.
Yang Wei cleared his throat slightly and glared at Su Mingxia. "That is to say that you made me a scapegoat and basically announced to your family that I\'m your secret lover."
Su Mingxia nodded her head.
"And it was Elder Jing who suggested me to be the scapegoat?"
"Yes, Elder Jing was really helpful."
Yang Wei rubbed his temples as he couldn\'t believe he was schemed by two beauties. "Since there\'s a treasure in this cave, let\'s just get it first."
Su Mingxia smiled blissfully when Yang Wei didn\'t scold her as she expected him to.
\'Heh, who can refuse to be called my lover in such an easy manner?\' Su Mingxia exclaimed inwardly as she turned around to walk downward.
Sometime later, they arrived at a spacious area with the so-called item that Su Mingxia wanted in the open.
"Is that a weapon?" Yang Wei suddenly asked when he saw the metal pieces on the ground that seemed to be able to connect.
"It should be the rumored spear that is engraved in a special inscription." Su Mingxia added as she walked over.
"Your specialized weapon is a spear?" Yang Wei raised an eyebrow as he wondered how she could hold the spear up.
It wasn\'t that he was underestimating her strength but a spear is an uncommon weapon type that not many choose to use.
Su Mingxia shook her head in response.
"I don\'t use a spear. It\'s too unsightly for me to use it and I simply came here out of curiosity." Su Mingxia then said, shocking Yang Wei at the same time.
"How did you even get the information that there will be a spear here?"
"Easy, I have an intelligence network under my control and I decided to confirm if the intel is true."
Su Mingxia then proceeded to assemble the spear together and a blinking light started glowing.
The spear turned silver as it exuded a profound aura and it was simply eager to show its capability.
It was trembling hard in Su Mingxia\'s hand, almost like it wanted to soar to the sky.
Su Mingxia\'s eye flickered in excitement as she closely inspected the inscription inlay in the spear.
"The inscription work done in this spear is really amazing. There\'s a fire technique inlay and also protection inscription." Su Mingxia said in excitement.
However, Yang Wei was confused as he had never heard of an inscription before.
\'Is inscription similar to formation since they almost have the same structure?\' Yang Wei exclaimed inwardly as he looked at the inscription closely.
Unknowingly, he had approached near Su Mingxia and they were just a bit away from touching each other.
The inscription was still blinking brightly and it seemed to absorb their concentration and wariness in the surroundings.
"Yang Wei-" Su Mingxia wanted to turn around and tell him their mission was complete without realizing how close he was near her.
She had her eyes wide open as she looked at Yang Wei in disbelief.
Yang Wei was no different as he was also shocked at this scenario and his body was frozen in place.
Su Mingxia and Yang Wei had kissed each other by accident.
Su Mingxia took a few moments to realize what just happened as she quickly pushed Yang Wei away slightly and turned around with a flushed expression.
Yang Wei soon regained his conscience as he quickly tried to apologize for being too close to her and resulted in this outcome.
However, before he can even apologize, Su Mingxia\'s voice resounded, "It was an accident so there\'s no need for someone to apologize."
She then turned around to face Yang Wei with a calm expression.
"Let\'s just say that was your reward for helping me in this ploy. After all, you have taken my first kiss so you must convince my family that you are my lover." Su Mingxia said as she cornered Yang Wei into being the scapegoat from now on.
