Chapter 1399: Chapter 1222: Xiao’ai, Dabao, Xiaobei

The next day.

Xia Dabao woke up early.

Having slept a lot the previous day, she did not feel as sleepy that morning. Usually in Peach Blossom Village, she would go to the yard to wash up after getting up, but now upon waking, seeing the delicately elegant room, she was confused for a moment.

There were no barking dogs, no crowing chickens, and no chirping insects from the mountains, but she faintly heard the shouts of people practicing martial arts outside.

She lifted the camphor-scented silk quilt and climbed out of bed. Lanlan, who was in the outer room, heard her and hurried in, "Miss Dabao, are you awake? I will comb your hair."

Xia Dabao was about to say that she could comb her own hair, but then she thought that the girls in the Provincial City might not style their hair that way, so she sat down, "Alright, you do it."

Lanlan’s technique was extremely skilled, and she combed very gently without pulling the hair. She quickly styled a flowing cloud bun and then asked Xia Dabao, "Miss Dabao, what do you think of this bun?"

Xia Dabao picked up a bronze mirror to look.

Normally, her hairstyling was simple, just casually tying her hair up after braiding two braids, but Lanlan had styled it beautifully. She recalled her mother also used to style her hair this way but rarely did so unless they were going out to play.

"Hmm, it’s nice," Xia Dabao smiled contentedly, "but... this hairstyle really doesn’t match my outfit. Let’s take it down and try again another day."

"This..." Lanlan was troubled.

"Go fetch me a basin of water for washing my face, then I’ll head out!" Xia Dabao said.

After Lanlan left, she took down her hair and reverted to her usual hairstyle from Peach Blossom Village. After all, she was still wearing the clothes she had arrived in, which didn’t match such a fairy-like hairstyle.

After combing her hair and washing her face, Lanlan told Xia Dabao, "Miss Dabao, there is still half an hour before breakfast. Would you like to eat something first?"

Xia Dabao quickly shook her head. Regarding eating, she had already learned a lesson once. Yesterday on the way here, she had eaten too many different things, which made her less than satisfied at dinner. She decided not to eat so haphazardly in the future, but to save her appetite for Longya Gang’s meals.

"Where is Xiao’ai?" Xia Dabao asked.

Her room wasn’t far from Long Aixi’s, but she hadn’t heard any noise from that direction.

Lanlan quickly said, "The Young Master usually practices in the back courtyard at this time."

"Practicing? No wonder I kept hearing shouts from over there. I... should take a look, don’t you think?" Xia Dabao asked Lanlan. Her mother had told her not to wander about in Longya Gang because many areas were off-limits.

Lanlan thought for a moment then said, "It should be fine. Aside from the Young Master, there are also kids from Hall Masters practicing there, so it shouldn’t be a problem to watch."

"Alright, then I’ll hurry over and take a look!" Xia Dabao said.

Xia Dabao quickly ran to the back courtyard, led by Lanlan.

What was called the back courtyard was actually a large martial arts training ground. All the different branches of Longya Gang were there training their subordinates. Xia Dabao found the scene very striking at first, but after watching for a while, she started to catch on.

It was nothing more than lots of people practicing in unison, and if one observed their Inner Power and combat, they were actually quite easy to defeat.

Xia Dabao quickly spotted Long Aixi in the crowd.

Perhaps due to his special status, he was practicing in a different area with a few other youths of his age, under the supervision of Butler Yan.

Xia Dabao did not immediately run over, but watched them for a while first.
