Six

Yunfang kept trying to persuade Weiwei, but that girl was very persisted. Until finally it was Weiwei's turn to dance.

Weiwei was getting ready when a young girl came and escorted her to the competition venue. Weiwei felt very nervous when she saw so many people huddled around the large area that was intentionally vacated.

"Let's start!" one shouted. Weiwei is getting more and more nervous, her heart is beating fast. Fingers also grip tightly the sword in hand. On his place, Yunfang seemed to be trying to enter the competition area. He didn't want to see Weiwei humiliated. But, Yunfang failed to enter because Haulong and the guards at the pavilion kept holding him back.

Weiwei pulled the sword from its scabbard and started a movement like she was about to fight. The girl didn't look elegant, let alone to the move beautifully with the harp which playing by Xiuwen. Everyone shouted in disappointment. Weiwei was getting more nervous and almost fell to the floor. It was better for her to face thousands of criminals than to have to dance in front of so many people like this.

"Weiwei!" Yunfang called while looking worried. The girl glanced over and shook her head amidst the boisterous crowd telling her to get out of there.

Weiwei then saw that Xiuwen was smiling at her.

'He laughed at me. You'll see later, I'll definitely repay you!'

Weiwei returned to playing sword in hand. Some of the audiences almost threw things at the girl. However, the harp accompaniment changed rapidly. Weiwei found that now everyone was no longer angry. The accompanying music seemed to have fused with her sword movements.

Weiwei flew up and cut the flowers hanging from the roof. The large flower is separated from the ribbon that attaches it. A sprinkling of pink flower petals fell on the dancing arena. Weiwei was stunned for a moment before reaching for the flower she had just cut. The flower has flown down.

A smile appeared on Weiwei's still floating face. She knew she had won the match. A girl who standing not far away made a sullen face and threw the empty drink jug at Weiwei.

Xiuwen saw a jug almost hit Weiwei, he immediately flew up to approach the girl. He grabbed Weiwei in his arms and pushed the jug away until it fell and broke into pieces.

Weiwei was shocked, her eyes widened at Xiuwen. However, she felt trapped to his sight. She seemed to dissolve in the charm of the beautiful black eyes of the man who was hugging her.

Weiwei still seemed bewitched when Xiuwen smiled at her. A moment later, that man came closer and whispered in Weiwei's ear,

"I saved you."

Weiwei's black eyes widened again. Surprised and embarrassed, she then realize that she had hugged Xiuwen tightly, she immediately pushed that man away. Xiuwen just smiled as he walked away, while Weiwei immediately come to side place when Yunfang wait her.

"Are you okay?" Yunfang asked. Weiwei spontaneously nodded. She didn't even hear clearly what Yunfang said. Her mind was still wandering over what had just happened in the dancing area. It made her heart beat faster again.

"Hey, wait!" Weiwei snarled while walking briskly. She then immediately stood in front of Xiuwen who was with a girl. Not long before, that man declared that the girl named Meihua was the winner of the competition.

"What is it?" Xiuwen asked calmly. Weiwei shook the flower she had cut earlier.

"Do you remember this? I was the one who got this flower, so I should have won."

"How can it be like that? Your dancing is bad. You don't deserve to win!" snarled Meihua fiercely.

"But I got this flower."

"But Young Master Xiuwen has chosen me. Today he must be with me!" Meihua then quickly wrapped her arm around Xiuwen's waist.

"Young Master, that Miss has bullied me," she sneered. This made Weiwei sick. She couldn't believe that girl could even lower herself like that to get guy's attention.

"Calm down, My Beautiful Girl, I won't let her hurt you," Xiuwen coaxed while gently hugged back the girl who was clinging to him.

Xiuwen then turned to Weiwei.

"The winner is according to me, not you. And I don't think you deserve to win at all."

The resentment that was building up in Weiwei's chest make her emotion seemed to explode. Immediately she slammed the flower that was she brought. She then pulled the sword from the scabbard and aimed it at the man in front of her.

"He's gone mad," whispered the frightened Meihua and hid behind Xiuwen. Several guards of the place also immediately approached.

"Calm down," Xiuwen coaxed.

"I want to calm down, but you're toying with me on purpose!"

"Weiwei!" shouted Yunfang who immediately approached the girl.

"You don't have to go this far for a guy like him. Let's just go!"

Weiwei refused to go. She kept her sword pointed at Xiuwen. While Xiuwen still smiled calmly.

"I guess I should go with her before she makes more fuss," he told Meihua. The pretty face of the girl who was hugging him turned sour. The girl even moved her tiny, fiery red lips.

"Then what about me?"

Xiuwen whispered something to that girl. In an instant, the sullen face turned bright.

Meihua then removed her hand from Xiuwen's waist. With a seductive style and a sweet smile, she walked over to Yunfang.

"You're very handsome. I'd be willing to trade Xiuwen for you."

"What?" Yunfang almost screamed in surprise when Meihua immediately wrapped her arms around his waist.

"You, I don't want to be with you!" cried Yunfang frantically trying to free himself, but Meihua still clung to him

Weiwei who was stunned and confused, was surprised when Xiuwen snapped his fingers in front of her face.

"Come on, follow me!"

Weiwei still kept the sword pointed at Xiuwen as long as she followed that man. It actually made Xiuwen smiled more. He felt more and more interested in teasing the girl.

"Stop walking!" Weiwei snapped as they arrived at the balcony of that place.

"Let's just solve our problems here!"

Xiuwen turned and shook his head.

"It's too noisy in here. If we had a fight, it's bound to cause a commotion."

Weiwei seemed to be contemplating in doubt. Even so, she was still wary, as if afraid that Xiuwen would just leave.

Xiuwen smiled slightly at the look on the girl's face.

"Don't worry, I won't run away from you. Come with me!"

Quickly, Xiuwen grabbed Weiwei's slender waist. Weiwei's eyes widened again and looked at the man who was now taking her flying with easily.

"Let me go!" Weiwei growled annoyed.

"Just hold on tight, trust me, you'll be fine."
