Gale found Wang Li ogling at him furiously, a bit of redness on her cheek and neck.
"For the record, that wasn't my fault." Gale was too quick to refute any blame that was coming his way.
Wang Li glowered at him.
"Master, what are you talking about?" Xiaolin asked, discovering she clearly missed something in this interaction.
"Nothing!" Both Wang Li and Gale said at the same time.
Xiaolin blinked.
"Glad that we agreed on that," Gale said, earning another glare from Wang Li. He probably should have stopped himself from blabbering on.
Wang Li scurried to the kitchen, giving him a last glare, as his disciple continued to give him curious glances.
"So where were we?" Gale said, completely overlooking how he left his disciple lost on the matter. "How to learn Coercion? Hmm. When you cycle in the beginning, what do you visualise to calm yourself?"
"Water ripples on a pond, or drifting mist," Xiaolin answered, forgetting the little exchange between Gale and her elder sister.
