Chapter 49 Joining in the fun...
Chapter Forty-Nine: Joining the Fun
"Yes, yes, I've got my ten thousand taels." Ling Hao refrained from chuckling, even though she really wanted to. "Let's go, let's take the person to Miss Zhu Wu's place."
Let's go exchange 10,000 taels! Just thinking about 10,000 taels makes me happy, the weather brightens up, everything is so wonderful, hehe.
Ling Hao and Young Master Mingyue took Xiao Shiyilang and Feng Siniang (buy one get one free) to exchange for 10,000 taels of silver. As for the young master, she had Young Master Mingyue's men watch over him. Although Ling Hao couldn't see the faces of Young Master Mingyue's men, she believed that the young master wouldn't be able to escape.
After all, there were twenty or thirty people surrounding them, so running away wouldn't be so easy. As for why there were twenty or thirty people, Ling Hao still couldn't see their faces; of course, it was because someone was unhappy.
Tsk tsk tsk, such a grown man, and he still gets jealous because his best friend might become friends with someone else. Linghao, of course, knows that friendship can be exclusive, especially since someone used to have no friends, so she wasn't surprised by Gongzi Mingyue's behavior, but...
"Would Mingyue reject my old friends?" Linghao asked curiously.
Gongzi Mingyue frowned subconsciously, but still said, "I'm still very generous. I won't reject them. I won't reject Ahao's friends." He didn't seem to dislike Ahao's friends as much as he thought. He just felt a little resentful that the friends he had worked so hard to make were so easily obtained.
It's strange, why doesn't he reject Ah Hao's friends? He clearly likes Ah Hao a lot. Gongzi Mingyue couldn't figure it out and decided to write another letter to his sister when he had time to ask. He believed that his sister, who had several friends (and lovers), would surely understand the reason.
"Our Mingyue is such a good boy." Linghao tiptoed and reached out to pat Mingyue's head. It's normal for a boy to be a little possessive of his first friend; she understands that.
Gongzi Mingyue was both happy and a little uncomfortable. "I've grown up. I'm not a child anymore."
Only little kids would insist they're not little kids. It was quite amusing. Meanwhile, Zhu Xi was furious, yet someone was still "teasing" her. She genuinely wanted to chop off the other person's hand. And indeed, she did pull out a dagger and do just that, though she wasn't quite quick enough.
"Wow, do you want my hand? That's too cruel." Lu Xiaofeng abruptly pulled his hand back. "I didn't do anything to you." He only came to watch the fun after learning about Zhu Xi's bounty in the martial arts world. He didn't lay a finger on her, so why was she trying to cut off his hand?
"Hmph, do you think Lu Xiaofeng with four eyebrows can't dodge?" Zhu Xi waved the dagger in her hand in the air. "If you're really that useless, you shouldn't be in the martial arts world anymore. You should just quit and save your life."
Lu Xiaofeng said, "Wow, Zhu Xi, you're being a little unpleasant."
"The truth is hard to hear." Zhu Xi meant that she was telling the truth.
"Fifth Miss, someone has brought Xiao Shiyilang and Feng Siniang here."
Hearing this, Zhu Xi jumped to her feet. "Okay, I'll go right now." Hahaha, great! Xiao Shiyilang is finally back in her hands. Hmph, this time she's going to turn him into a hard-boiled egg!
She used her light-footed skills to "fly" there.
Seeing this, Lu Xiaofeng shook his head. This fifth young lady of the Zhu family really wasn't very skilled in martial arts. But it didn't matter. The Zhu family was wealthy and influential in the martial arts world; finding someone to protect her wouldn't be a problem at all. Thinking this, he followed after her.
He was very curious as to who had captured the elusive and elusive thief, Xiao Shiyi Lang.
When Lu Xiaofeng arrived, he saw them exchanging money with one hand and calling out to someone with the other. He exclaimed in surprise, "Hello?"
"Hmm?" Ling Hao, who was about to count the silver notes, heard a familiar voice. She looked up and saw a familiar bill. "Lu Xiaofeng?"
"Do you all know each other?" Zhu Xi looked at Lu Xiaofeng, then at Ling Hao.
“Yes, we’re friends.” Lu Xiaofeng greeted Ling Hao with a smile. “I didn’t expect to run into you here.”
“Yes.” Ling Hao remembered something and looked at the person beside her. “Mingyue, this is a friend I made before, Lu Xiaofeng. You should know him.”
"Hmm." Gongzi Mingyue nodded, then looked at Lu Xiaofeng, "Hello, I am Ah Hao's good friend, Gongzi Mingyue." He emphasized the word "good friend".
Although Ah-hao is friends with this person, there is still a difference between them and her good friend. She hopes the other person can understand that.
Ling Hao immediately understood what Gongzi Mingyue meant and burst out laughing. Oh my, how adorable he is!
Gongzi Mingyue realized that Linghao understood his implication, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, his cheeks flushing slightly. Nevertheless, he did not change his mind.
Lu Xiaofeng burst out laughing, "Yes, yes, Linghao and I are friends, nothing more." Friends, indeed! This young master is truly oblivious to his own limitations. "But young master, is your name really Gongzi Mingyue, or is it just a title?"
"Besides Ah Hao, who can call me Mingyue, everyone else has to call me Young Master, or at the very least, Young Master Mingyue."
For some reason, these words, which were tinged with chuunibyou (adolescent delusions of grandeur), sounded perfectly normal coming from Gongzi Mingyue's mouth, as if he was always supposed to be like that.
Ling looked at Gongzi Mingyue and thought that it was probably because of his handsome face, which made it hard to feel any dislike for him. Another reason was his noble demeanor, which made it seem like he could say anything he wanted.
That said, Gongzi Yu's background is shrouded in mystery in the original novel, but many speculate that he must have come from an extraordinary family. Similarly, Gongzi Mingyue's background is also shrouded in mystery. Although few people truly loved him growing up, his living conditions were not bad, so it's understandable that he developed such a privileged upbringing.
Lu Xiaofeng wasn't surprised at all, and greeted him with a smile, "Young Master Mingyue, I am Lu Xiaofeng." Many people in the martial arts world have rather strange names, such as Wei Qingqing, which is considered relatively normal.
There were also names like He Baodan, Mo Sangege, and Wenxin Laoqi, and Lu Xiaofeng really didn't understand where these names came from. But names are a person's freedom, and he wasn't their parent, so there was no need to delve into it. Compared to others, the title "Gongzi Mingyue" was quite normal.
If Ling Hao knew what Lu Xiaofeng was thinking, he would definitely tell him seriously that these names probably came from the perverse tastes of some literary master. After all, using names like Wentuma and Wentuk, or even Donald Duck, Wei Ya Mao, and Gao Jixue in martial arts novels is obviously a perverse taste.
"By the way, Lu Xiaofeng, what are you doing here?" Actually, Ling Hao wanted to ask if he had already dealt with Xue Bing's matter, but she thought that this involved other people's privacy, so she didn't ask in front of everyone.
"I've come to join in the fun," Lu Xiaofeng said. "The news about the Deer-Slaying Knife is all over the martial arts world, so of course I have to come and see, or I'll regret it."
Zhu Xi chimed in, "Wherever there's excitement, wherever there's trouble, there's Lu Xiaofeng." They've known each other for so many years, who doesn't know who?

I truly admire Wen Ruian's talent for choosing names.
