HEAVEN'S OFFICIAL BLESSING (Mo Xiang Tong Xiu)

Xie Lian needed to shield Hua Cheng with the array and couldn't be distracted, and Pei Ming posed not a single threat to the weapon he was the most familiar with.

Just then, they suddenly heard Ming Guang cuss, "YOU BLOODY SAVAGE! CAN YOU NOT SMASH WHEN I'M SMASHING?? YOU'VE HIT MY HAND!" However, Ke Mo completely ignored him. Seeing there was friction between the two, Xie Lian grabbed hold of Pei Ming, "General Pei! Ke Mo won't believe you mean him no harm and will keep coming after you! Quick, press the fingers of both your hands together, cross your wrists above your head, then press downwards before opening your arms. This is the hand gestures his peoples use to ask for truce. Either way just show him your good will and make him stop for now!:

Pei Ming was bewildered, "HUH? You must know that the resentment between Ke Mo and them isn't just a small misunderstanding, how can it be pacified with just some hand gestures?"

But Xie Lian paid him no mind and grabbed hold of him, "Come, do this with me to make him stop!"

However, Pei Ming's hand was injured, and with this grab, the corners of his lips twitched. He was about to follow as instructed but Ming Guang had already heard everything they said, and charged in front of Ke Mo, crossing his hands above his head and slid his arms down before opening them, smirking to the two in the circle, "As if I'd let you!"

Yet unexpectedly, when Ke Mo saw that gesture, his eyes bulged, and thick lines of veins popped on his iron dark skin. He opened his palm and swung his hand like an iron cattail leaf fan, sending Ming Guang flying in the air,

The moment that slap swung out, both Pei Ming and Ming Guang still hadn't wrapped their heads around what happened. If was only a moment later before it dawned on Pei Ming, and he turned to Xie Lian, "Your Highness, I thought Ming Guang was already cunning, but I hadn't thought you're more cunning than he is. I'm impressed."

Xie Lian wiped away his cold sweat, "It's nothing, it's nothing, much ashamed."

That speech just now appeared to be said for Pei Ming but it was actually said for Ming Guang. After Ming Guang heard, in order for them not to do as they will, he would of course fight to show good will to Ke Mo first. However, the set of gestures Xie Lian taught wasn't for calling truce in the first place but provocation. And it was the most insultiving kind of provocation in the Banyue tongue, something akin to "Chop off your bitch head", "Fuck your wife", "Murder your whole family", "Level your ancestors' graves"; four power attacks all at once, how could Ke Mo not be outraged after seeing it? Under any other circumstances. Ming Guang might be suspicious of the truth in Xie Lian's words, but because the situation was dire and Pei Ming's hands were almost raised and Ming Guang didn't take the time to think carefully and fell into this deception.

Ming Guang quickly snapped out of it after Ke Mo sent him flying and wanted to remedy the situation, but because they couldn't communicate and he only yelled instinctively, it looked more like he was cursing Ke Mo. He also tried a few other hand gestures, like thumbs up, but this was no different than someone who just used the most malicious, vulgar swears to abuse you suddenly turning around to beg for mercy and showing good will, so it didn't feel sincere at all, and he got pounded a few more times. On top of that, Ke Mo also knew some rough midlands curses, so he swore as he struck, and Ming Guang was becoming a little irked too, the two of them beating each other harder and harder. Pei Ming almost wanted to cheer them on.

Ming Guang swept a glance over, incredibly irritated, and suddenly reached out, waved in front of Ke Mo, the pointed at the other two before doing that forking hand gesture again.
