Several minutes later, Li Yebing opened eyes in gloom. Albeit her effort, she could not taste the feeling described.
"How…how can it be like this?" Out of tricks, Li Yexue turned to Qin Dong in confusion, eyes dripping with puzzles.
Qin Dong grinned, "I told you the knack was the key. She cannot master the skill forever if you don't teach her the knack."
"But…but I've tried. The skill works without the knack." Li Yexue was bewildered.
Qin Dong chuckled, "The knack already integrates with you. Technically, you've fallen in love with me. So you can enter the stage without repeating the knack."
"Shameless. Who falls in love with you?" Although Li Yexue did not admit, her flushing face revealed her affection to Qin Dong and caused him to burst into laughter.
"Love? Yexue, tell me, what's the knack? Why it has something to do with love?" Li Yebing bellowed.
Li Yexue blushed, "The knack is…is…"
"What? Tell me!" Li Yebing was increasingly eager.
"That knack is---Qin Dong, I love you!" Her face burned in red when speaking out the sentence.
"What? You…you practice the skill while repeating it?" Stunned, Li Yebing mumbled with eyes wide open.
Shy, Li Yexue nodded.
Li Yebing yelled in anger, "Yexue, you…you silly girl. You're fooled by him! Is there a knack like it all over the world? He takes advantage of you, and you're taken in. Do you have a brain?"
Li Yexue was embarrassed after being reproached and glared at Qin Dong secretively.
"Keh, keh, keh…Li Yebing, enough! There're many wonders beyond your understanding. Don't make wild guesses and fancy yourself clever!"
Li Yebing stared at Qin Dong in rage, "You can fool my sister, but you can't fool me! What fucking knack is it? Damn it!"
Qin Dong giggled, "The skill is unique and its knack mysterious. You have to read it if you want to practice the skill. We bet if you don't believe! You can run the skill and collect the energy between the heavens and earth as long as you read the knack."
"You think I believe your nonsense?" Li Yebing growled at him.
Qin Dong smiled coldly, "You don't believe me, but you can bet with me."
"Alright! What if your method doesn't work?" Li Yebing screamed.
Qin Dong shouted with a poker face, "I accept any punishment, no matter what it is."
Li Yebing continued, "If you lose, I won't kill or beat you. Just stay away from my younger sister and never disturb her!"
Qin Dong nodded, "What if you lose?"
"What do you want?" Li Yebing asked.
Qin Dong laughed, "Easy! Take care of Yexue and me for three months, like wash clothes, make meals, tea and do the cleaning."
"You! You want me to be your maid?" Li Yebing bellowed.
Qin Dong chuckled, "That's the trophy of our bet. It must be fair. You're so confident, don't you think you'll lose?"
"Xiao Dong, you're a little harsh." Li Yexue suddenly lost confidence in her elder sister admired since childhood, and found she probably would lose the bet.
Qin Dong snorted and turned to Li Yebing, "Arrogance at such a young age is not good. Teaching her a lesson does her no harm."
Li Yebing shouted angrily, "You' re the one that is arrogant! I surely bet with you!"
"Alright! Yexue, you're our witness. Li Yebing, try now, check whether I'm right or wrong."
Li Yebing sat in lotus position at once.
Qin Dong laughed,"The knack, you need to read loudly. Yexue and I must hear it."
"What do you mean?" Li Yebing glared at him.
Qin Dong answered calmly, "Obvious! How do we know whether you read the knack or not? We're not the roundworms in your belly."
"You…Okay! As you say, I'll see how long you can sustain!" Li Yebing replied in hatred, her lung nearly bursting by anger.
