Chapter 26 It really was you...
Chapter Twenty-Six: It Was Really You
"Thank you for saving me, young lady." The man clasped his hands in a fist and laughed heartily, despite his disheveled appearance.
The man who had been pulled from the pit was wearing a red cloak, which was now filthy, probably from being in the pit. He himself looked rather dirty and disheveled. However…
Ling Hao's gaze fell on the other man's beard, then his eyebrows, and then his dirty red cloak. The man's identity was already obvious.
"Girl?" The man was a little puzzled. Although he was a bit dirty, he shouldn't be in too bad a state, right?
"Lu Xiaofeng?" Ling Hao stopped guessing and simply probed directly.
"Does the young lady know me?" Lu Xiaofeng subconsciously stroked his beard, then thought that it was perfectly normal for someone to recognize him; after all, he had some reputation in the martial arts world. "Have I met the young lady before?"
"It really is Lu Xiaofeng." "No, I just knew of Lu Xiaofeng's name." Ling Hao carefully examined Lu Xiaofeng. Although his face was handsome, it had a baby face, making him look somewhat childish. However, his distinctive beard made him look less childish.
Lu Xiaofeng laughed heartily and said, "Then, does Lu Xiaofeng know the young lady's name?"
"My name is Ling Hao." After learning that the other party was Lu Xiaofeng, Ling Hao was a little puzzled as to why the other party was trapped in that pit. It was just a pit.
Yes, a pit. Although it was large enough to be considered a trap, in Ling Hao's opinion, it could only hold small animals; a person could manage to climb out with a little effort. How could such a pit possibly trap someone as skilled in light-footed martial arts as Lu Xiaofeng?
There are either two hidden reasons, or this person is not the real Lu Xiaofeng.
Although Ling Hao didn't ask aloud, her behavior was too obvious, and Lu Xiaofeng really found it hard to convince himself to pretend not to see. "Um, cough cough, well, I..."
"It's alright, I understand." Ling thought to herself that this person must have some difficulties, maybe the other person really did have some kind of difficulty? She decided to let it go and not ask, it wouldn't be good to embarrass the other person.
Lu Xiaofeng: "..."
I don't know why, but I always feel like the other person is thinking about something strange.
In an attempt to salvage his reputation, Lu Xiaofeng quickly explained, "Actually, I made a bet with a friend to see if someone could rescue me within three days. If they could, he would do 366 somersaults for me; if not, I would do 366 somersaults for him. Today is the third day, and if you don't come, I'll have to do 366 somersaults."
Ling Hao: "..."
Well, although the reason is ridiculous, considering that Lu Xiaofeng was the one who did it, it seems quite plausible. After all, he once went to dig for earthworms to make a bet with Sikong Zhaixing, so doing somersaults wouldn't be unusual for him.
However, it's still quite outrageous; no wonder he's known as the outrageous Lu Xiaofeng.
Lu Xiaofeng: "..."
Although I felt that the other person had believed me, for some reason, I felt like I was being secretly criticized.
"Neigh!" Seeing that its owner hadn't moved, Cloud got a little impatient, kicked its front hooves, and barked a few times, as if urging her on.
Ling Hao came to his senses and said to Lu Xiaofeng, "Master Lu, since you are alright, then we shall take our leave here."
"Alright." Lu Xiaofeng clasped his hands in a fist salute again. "Good girl, I hope we are destined to meet again next time."
Linghao nodded to him, then mounted her horse and rode away.
Watching Ling Hao's dashing departure, Lu Xiaofeng patted the dust off his clothes and gritted his teeth, saying, "Damn you, you stinky monkey! You actually got away? Heh, don't let me catch you, or you'll be in big trouble. Three hundred and sixty-six somersaults, not one less!"
He was truly furious. Sikong Zhaixing insisted that no one would come to save him today and made him do a somersault, but then ran away when he heard the sound of horses' hooves. Hah, trying to renege on his promise? No way! A raging fire seemed to be burning beneath Lu Xiaofeng's skin.
Linghao was unaware that Lu Xiaofeng was cursing Sikong Zhaixing, and even if she had, she wouldn't have cared. Her immediate priority was to defeat Yue Buqun, and then conveniently defeat Linghu Chong as well. That way, she would have fulfilled her master's dying wish.
As for anything else, that's all she can do, haha. She's going to venture into the martial arts world and become a peerless master, hahaha. Having gained a clear understanding of her own abilities, Linghao is now a little overconfident, but still within reason.
As darkness fell, Ling Hao found a decent inn to stay at. While she wouldn't spend too much money, she wouldn't skimp either, because the hygiene conditions of most inns were really hard to guarantee. She couldn't accept a dirty and chaotic place, and besides, even if she could, she couldn't let Yun Duo suffer along with her.
Good inns provide hay and beans for the horses to eat, but ordinary inns don't even have water. Even if Linghao had to compromise herself, she couldn't let Yunduo suffer. Since she had taken Yunduo in, she had to be responsible for her. Linghao patted Yunduo's large head.
"Neigh, neigh, neigh." Yun Duo gently nuzzled Ling Hao's palm before continuing to graze on the hay. Not bad, not bad, the hay provided by this inn is good; the horse likes it.
Seeing this, Ling Hao smiled and walked towards the inn's lobby. Since Yun Duo had eaten her fill, it was now her turn to have dinner.
"Manager, are there any superior rooms available?"
"Some customers."
That voice? Ling Hao looked towards the new guest and exclaimed in surprise, "Lu Xiaofeng?"
"Huh?" Lu Xiaofeng turned around, also quite surprised. "You're such a good girl?"
Neither of them expected to meet again here.
Lu Xiaofeng said with a smile, "It seems that I am destined to be friends with you, Miss Linghao."
Ling Hao smiled and said, "Indeed. However, Master Lu, when you call me Miss Ling Hao, do you think that's my name, not my full name? My surname is Ling, and my given name is Hao."
She's used to being misunderstood, after all, her surname is relatively uncommon.
Lu Xiaofeng paused for a moment, then looked a little embarrassed. "I really thought that was your name." He'd made a mistake.
On the other side, it started to rain.
