Chapter 1456: Chapter 1278: Xiao’ai, Dabao, Xiaobei

"Father, I heard clearly just now that this flower thief operates everywhere, which shows he is truly arrogant. The techniques he uses are not vile but merely provocative. He knows that it has not been long since our Dragon Tooth Gang was founded, and that we cannot send someone specifically to catch him now. This indicates that his martial arts skills are not at a supreme level; at best, he is a second-rate expert. But, as I have practiced martial arts for so long and recently have had nothing to do, I can go and catch him. Father, please give me a chance to contribute," Long Aixi appeared very sincere.

Upon hearing this, Long San only smiled, then looked at Lu Jianxi, "Jianxi, Xiao’ai is our little young master of the Dragon Tooth Gang. It’s good that he wants to contribute, and I have no objections. Now, it’s up to you."

Being a battlefield veteran from a young age, Lu Jianxi, being a girl, managed to achieve such feats. She wouldn’t spoil her son and smiled at Long San, "I was just worried you might disagree. Xiao’ai’s analysis is correct; the flower thief isn’t a brutal criminal. The things he does are partly for fun and partly to provoke. I doubt he is very powerful. If Xiao’ai succeeds in this task, he will have established a great merit for our Dragon Tooth Gang and will gain prestige here."

Xia Dabao had been listening intently on the side. Looking at Long Aixi, she was unsure if it was concern or reluctance that drove her to quickly intervene, "Uncle Long San, Aunt Jianxi, perhaps Xiao’ai could use an assistant for this task? Maybe I could be his assistant?"

"Oh? You want to go too?" Lu Jianxi looked at Xia Dabao, "This isn’t a huge matter, but it’s also not entirely safe. You’re a girl and accidents can happen. If something goes wrong, how can I explain to your parents?"

Xia Dabao was smooth-talking, "I often hear my mother talk about Aunt Jianxi, who despite her young age led troops into battle fearlessly, and was a terror to her enemies. If Aunt Jianxi could do that, I am merely following Xiao’ai to catch a thief, which is nothing compared to your heroic past. Besides, I’ve been away from Peach Blossom Village for so long, been only eating and drinking here. If I go back and my mother asks what I learned from Dragon Tooth Gang, and if I say nothing, she will be disappointed. But if I tell her I went with Xiao’ai to catch a thief, she will surely praise me. Also, my martial arts skills are not weak, which Xiao’ai knows too."

Knowing that Nan Feng always praised herself from a young age, Lu Jianxi naturally felt pleased and smiled, "That’s all in the past, not worth mentioning... Well, if you really want to go catch the thief, you can. But you and Xiao’ai must work together and never act separately. You must discuss and measure everything together, decidedly against acting alone."

"Understood, Aunt Jianxi, I’m not that impulsive kind of person," Xia Dabao laughingly said, excited about the prospect of catching a thief.

Long Aixi looked at Xia Dabao. Initially, Xia Dabao had spoken about returning to Peach Blossom Village, but now she wished to stay and catch the thief. Although the process was dangerous, at least it meant a few more days of being together. Naturally, he was happy and thus also spoke on behalf of Xia Dabao, "Father, Mother, Dabao’s martial arts are quite good, and having an extra person means extra strength. Together, we will definitely be able to catch the flower thief quickly."
