The Breakup (2)

"The mysterious woman bore no good intentions. I had to send you away, so she would not have the chance to kidnap you," Master Fengxing remonstrated kindly.

Shen Nianmo could not hold back his amusement. "Why did you have to make it sound so pompous? You invited all the other masters to launch an ambush together. How awesome was that? She came alone and walked singlehandedly into the battle. Even if I were present in the Fengyun Valley, how would she possibly kidnap me? Were you not confident of your ambush, or in me?"

Master Fengxing remained quiet. He was indeed not confident enough in Shen Nianmo, for he was worried that he would be charmed by Gu Xijiu and walk away with her willingly.

"Nianmo…" Master Fengxing struggled to find his words and was interrupted before he could continue, "Master, please help me to invite all my masters. I have something to say."
