Chapter 1478: Chapter 1300: Xiao’ai, Dabao, Xiaobei

The man in black said again, "Actually, I don’t think he really wants to die. If he did, he would go jump in the river. This is just a stream, there are plenty of people around, and anyone who can swim could easily save him. He’s just trying to lure that lady over."

Xia Dabao continued, "That is just too shameless. Even if he lures the lady over, what good would that do? Ideally, they could have met and then parted on good terms, leaving a good impression. If you pretend to seek death, you’ll only make the lady dislike you even more."

The man in black looked up at the sky, then lazily said, "It’s already getting dark, I don’t think the lady will show up now. Let him carry on with his act. By the way, if he does jump and someone goes down to save him, don’t forget to go to the local government office to claim a reward. What’s it called again...?"

Xia Dabao jumped in, "The Reward for Acts of Bravery!"

"That’s it," the man in black looked at Xia Dabao, the two had been in sync for so long and now had a sort of tacit understanding, "It seems he’s just bored at home and came out to put on this show, using this opportunity to let others claim the reward. Losing a lady but having the awareness to do good deeds, he could be considered a good person. Young master, let’s not join this commotion anymore, shall we leave?"

"Alright," Xia Dabao took another look at the man in white who was seeking death.

After being ridiculed by Xia Dabao and the man in black, the man in white no longer sought to die, instead, his gaze became somewhat vacant.

Xia Dabao thought to herself that he must not want to die now. As long as the effect was achieved, it was enough, so she turned and walked under the bridge.

However, in the crowd, a burly man, having heard the man in black, began to encourage the man in white to jump into the river, "Hey, what the young master said is right, since you’ve come all this way, why not take the plunge? I’m a good swimmer, I’ll save you afterward. Folks, be my witnesses, if I save him, I’ll go to the local government office to claim the reward money later, ha ha!"

"That’s right, that’s right. After all, you came here to jump into the river, and besides, the river isn’t deep. It’ll be no problem to save you. If he doesn’t rescue you, I will!" another man said.

"I’ll save him too!"

"I’ll save him; I’ll save him!"

"..."

The man in white no longer had any sadness, only looking at the people in front of him with a mixture of shame and annoyance.

Xia Dabao had already walked down from the bridge, and the man in black followed, Xia Dabao smiled at him, "You have quite the eloquence, after our words, he won’t be dying tonight."

The man in black saluted Xia Dabao, speaking in a nonchalant manner, "No matter how eloquent I am, I still needed the young master’s cooperation to make it happen. But why does the young master call me a hero?"

Xia Dabao laughed, "Aren’t you? Clad in black, wearing a conical hat, and not speaking with the local accent, certainly, you must be from the Jianghu, right?"

"You have quite the eye, young master. My name is Yun Xiao. Since the young master and I have such a rapport, why not let me treat you to a meal at the restaurant?"

"This..." Xia Dabao took another look at Yun Xiao.

He was indeed quite handsome. Luckily, she wasn’t smitten, or she would have fallen for him. But it was just sharing a meal; people from Jianghu always liked to make friends. Besides, she was disguised as a man, so he probably didn’t have any ulterior motives, right?

Seeing Xia Dabao’s hesitation, Yun Xiao said, "If it’s inconvenient for the young master, then never mind. If fate allows and we meet again someday, we can share drinks and chat then."
