In fact, as soon as this woman appeared, Qin Fang had already noticed her, but he didn't react, and was taken by surprise when the young Zhuoma came charging fiercely, bringing reinforcements.

And this woman was the young girl's master—even though she didn't seem much older than young Zhuoma...

"Sort of!"

This woman also lightly leapt down from the tall horse, landing steadily in front of Qin Fang, and a faint fragrance hit him, giving Qin Fang a refreshed feeling.

"So, do we still need to fight?"

Qin Fang smiled, his posture relaxed without any intention of fighting, nor even the slightest bit of defense, just asking with a smile.

"No need…"

The woman also immediately flashed a bright smile, creating a spring-like atmosphere, especially for Qin Fang facing her, the feeling was particularly strong.

"Here you go..."

The woman made no move to attack, and instead seemed to have no intention of doing so, instead reaching into her clothes and handing something to Qin Fang.

"Thank you!"

Qin Fang did not refuse, accepting what the woman handed over and casually putting it into his pocket while naturally uttering polite words.

"I should be the one thanking you... I broke it!"

However, upon hearing this, the woman's face turned embarrassed and she spoke with some unease.

"Master, you know each other?"

Originally, the young Zhuoma was waiting for her master to seek revenge for her, but unexpectedly, these two had no intention to fight and instead started chatting casually.

This left the young girl Zhuoma dumbfounded, her face filled with disbelief, unable to accept the reality before her.

Others might not know her master's identity, but as her disciple, she was quite clear: a hidden disciples of the Tang Sect deep in the mountains.

Tang Sect Disciples seldom left the Sect to venture to the outskirts of these great mountains, and only a few of her fellow tribespeople knew of such a sect's existence. They maintained considerable reverence, not daring to talk lightly about it, let alone approach it carelessly.

Just like her, had she not been playful as a child, gotten lost in the mountain, and by chance met her master practicing sword in the mountains, she might have grown up obediently like other girls in the tribe and simply married a man when she turned sixteen...

It was precisely that encounter that changed Zhuoma's life. She followed her master in practicing martial arts. Though her talent was nothing remarkable, Zhuoma willingly worked hard, and these ten years of perseverance granted her the cultivation she possessed now.

In the Gelan Tribe, the strongest wasn't her brother Chu Da, but rather this little princess Zhuoma, with all the men of the tribe defeated by her.

Perhaps it was also because of this reason, Zhuoma was somewhat overbearing, never knowing modesty. Previously, no one had cared to confront her, but she happened to meet Qin Fang, who also uncharacteristically spanked her... That enmity was now deeply rooted.

One-on-one, Zhuoma clearly knew she was no match for Qin Fang, so she used a secret signal to call her master from seclusion; her master's strength was much greater than her own.

But somehow, the situation before her eyes didn't look quite right...

Without a doubt, this woman was none other than Tang Xin the Tang Sect Beauty, who had just walked a part of the mountain road with Qin Fang the day before.

Qin Fang had also not expected that she was young Zhuoma's master, and although both had thought they would never see each other again, here they were meeting again in such a bizarre way.

"It's not broken, it just ran out of battery... Too bad we can't charge it in the mountains!"

Qin Fang took out the phone from his pocket, looked at it and realized it was out of battery—what battery is, Qin Fang couldn't easily explain at the moment, that too only if Tang Xin could understand.

"It's not broken, that's good, that's good..."

Upon hearing that it wasn't broken, Tang Xin immediately felt relieved, and with her delicate hands, she patted her bountiful, tender chest in fortune.

Before she could say more, upon hearing there was no way to charge it in the mountains, she understood she wouldn't be able to use the phone and felt inevitably disappointed—she initially planned to take this phone back to the Tang Sect to enjoy often, but now it seemed hopeless.

There's no way around it. If it were outside, even if the conditions were a bit rough, at least there would be electricity. But in these mountains, although there are quite a few people living, everything is rather backward. Qin Fang has learned this over the past few days; at night it's pitch dark, and there's not even a light in the bathroom, let alone charging a cell phone.

"Master..."

The little girl, feeling ignored, couldn't take the hit and immediately clung to Tang Xin's arm, cooing and swaying it.

"What's wrong?"

Poor Tang Xin seemed to have forgotten her initial purpose of coming here; when Zhuoma acted coyly, Tang Xin looked confused and asked.

"Erm..."

Zhuoma was thunderstruck, and her eyes seemed to burst into flames.

Their relationship might be master-disciple, but the two of them are close in age and actually interact like sisters. The only reason they are called master and disciple is to facilitate Tang Xin teaching Zhuoma martial arts.

Tang Sect is very strict about taking in disciples, selecting those with exceptional talents and root bones for mountain training, and they only come out once every ten years.

Zhuoma had the chance to enter the mountain ten years ago, but missed it due to a severe illness during the Tang Sect's disciple selection. Moreover, Tang Xin was very young at the time, which ruined their plan of becoming martial sisters. Instead, they became master and disciple, so that Tang Xin could legitimately bring Zhuoma into the Tang Sect the next time they chose new disciples.

Because of their sister-like relationship as both master and disciple, Zhuoma isn't very afraid of Tang Xin. Instead, they behave like sisters, speaking openly and showing emotions immediately.

This is the situation now; they are like good sisters, but Zhuoma is angry that this man spanked her, and her "sister" not only did not stand up for her but was also laughing and talking with him. What an outrage!

Zhuoma got angry, but the consequences... seem to have not much impact.

"That… Zhuoma, I think you and Qin Fang might just have a misunderstanding!"

Perhaps due to the pressure of accepting help, Tang Xin, who had been holding Qin Fang's phone for a long time, might have kept it if they hadn't met again. She was quite embarrassed, especially since her disciple and sister had caused such a dispute with Qin Fang, making her position very awkward.

But then she thought, the issue between them didn't seem to be a deep hatred, couldn't they just talk it out? There was no need to escalate it so dramatically.

However, she was trying to speak from a relatively neutral position, but once she spoke, it seemed like the implication might have changed.

The right and wrong between Qin Fang and Zhuoma are difficult to discern. Zhuoma was the one who initiated the attack on Qin Fang, especially with that final lash was after Qin Fang had already spared her, and then she launched a sneak attack. That's what made Qin Fang angry and led to him spanking her.

In this sense, Zhuoma was at fault first, and Qin Fang spanking a girl afterward was probably a bit too much. Assuming fault on both...

Both are to blame, so Tang Xin's comment was quite neutral.

But Zhuoma obviously didn't see it this way. In her mind, Tang Xin was the reinforcement she called for, so she should be siding with her, seeing Qin Fang as an unforgivable villain, and they should unite to deal with this bad guy.

As for her own mistakes... she conveniently ignored them.

Unfortunately, Zhuoma didn't expect that Tang Xin, who rarely leaves the sect, would already know Qin Fang, who was also entering the mountain for the first time. Moreover, judging by their interactions, they seemed quite familiar, or perhaps… their expressions appeared a bit strange!

"You… wait, Master, come here!"

Hearing Tang Xin's words, Zhuoma almost instinctively wanted to get angry and turn away, but she held back because she seemed to have noticed something and immediately changed her tone.

"What is it?"

Tang Xin was also a bit puzzled, not quite understanding what Zhuoma was trying to do, but still walked over to her side, looking at her with some confusion.

"Do you like this Mr. Qin?"

Zhuoma didn't shout it out loud in front of many people, instead, she pulled on Tang Xin's arm and whispered in her ear.

The voice was very soft, seemingly only audible to the two of them. Qin Fang was relatively far away, and despite his sharp hearing, he couldn't hear clearly.

But the moment Zhuoma asked this question, Tang Xin was momentarily stunned, then a faint pink blush appeared on her face, and she fiercely glared at Zhuoma.

"Silly girl, what nonsense are you spouting? I just met him not long ago, how could I..."

Tang Xin shyly glanced at Qin Fang, then pinched Zhuoma's arm in disapproval, strongly refuting her apprentice's suspicion.

"Could I really like him? Impossible, we've only just met, how could feelings develop so quickly?"

But while she denied it verbally, her heart couldn't help but murmur.Write the CSS code for your three-column layout. Make sure the columns are aligned such as they can contain image and text content. Use appropriate color, font, and padding for the content.
