"Your Highness Crown Prince, I, Tang San, have some matters that need to be dealt with promptly, so I will take my leave first. Let's find another day when we have time to practice together," Tang San said with a beaming smile.
His skin must be really thick, acting as if nothing had happened at all.
Just thinking about heading back already! But could he even make it back?
"Hmm, that's fine, I suppose. If you really want to go back, then go ahead."
"But don't forget the promise you made with my sister. Next time when the timing is right, you two can have your practice match," said the Crown Prince at this moment.
A pair of terrifying eyes stared fixedly at Tang San!
Xue Ke found him unbearable!
She even immediately thought about running up to Tang San to block his path directly!
"Tang San, are you really that afraid to practice with me? You really don't have any courage," Xue Ke said with a mocking tone.
That must be the case!
Otherwise, why would he choose to run away!
"I'm really sorry, Xue Ke. I truly don't have time right now. I can only wait for another day," Tang San said, before departing with long strides.
He didn't even look back!
You just wait, I'll eventually give you a good thrashing!
Today might not have worked out, but there's always next time,
Xue Ke murmured to herself.
After Tang San left, only the Crown Prince and Xue Ke, the brother and sister, were remaining.
The two of them wore blank, confused expressions.
Watching as Tang San gradually disappeared from their sight.
"My dear sister, just go back obediently; don't overthink it. He's already far away, and you can go back and rest with peace of mind," the Crown Prince said to Xue Ke with a patient demeanor.
"I think that's quite good for you. A girl should maintain some decorum, not brawling around. Playing the zither suits you better!"
"I hope my sister is a refined and elegant girl, not a boisterous person," Taizi Dian said patiently to Xue Ke.
"Brother, you've changed. You weren't like this just now. You actually want to see me fight Tang San too, don't you!" Xue Ke said with a grin.
The Crown Prince looked at his sister with an awkward expression on his face.
She had caught on.
Indeed, she was his own sister.
She did know a bit about her brother—he did indeed want to see them in a fight.
Because his sister wasn't too shabby.
At the very least, she could fight to a draw!
It showed that he also considered his sister to be very excellent.
"I don't think there is anything wrong with it; isn't it quite good?"
"Look at you, a girl should be a bit more reserved; it's better for you. If Tang San hadn't insisted on leaving, you probably would have started fighting with him much sooner, and who knows what could have happened then!"
"This Tang San is also quite clever. Knowing that I was here, he didn't dare to go too hard on you. If you two really started fighting, personally, I think it might end in a draw; his strength isn't that far off from yours," the Crown Prince said.
"Hmph, Tang San beating me? Of course, I would have defeated him," Xue Ke said with full confidence.
But there was also a clearly irritated look in her eyes.
She could have had a good practice session with Tang San, but she hadn't expected him to dodge the opportunity with some other excuse!
She could only watch helplessly as he left.
"It seems my sister has grown up a bit more, becoming more sensible. I'm happy for you," the Crown Prince said to Xue Ke.
The two siblings walked and talked together.
