Chapter 1573: Chapter 1395: Stormy Night in Jianghu

"I’m not negotiating or caring about him," Xia Dabao said, "It’s just that he has been guarding me for so long with superior Martial Arts skills, and he is much quieter than Bei Shan, who can’t even match my skills and keeps moving around, making me annoyed. Yun Xiao doesn’t bother me as much!" Xia Dabao knew she couldn’t show her concern for Yun Xiao in front of the Clan Chief.

She sensed that the Clan Chief did not like her being too close to Yun Xiao.

Yun Xiao’s role was merely to ensure her safety.

No sooner had Xia Dabao finished speaking, than Bei Shan felt displeased, "Oh, you think I enjoy guarding you? You don’t like me, and I don’t like you either."

Seizing the moment, Xia Dabao said to the Clan Chief, "You hear, he doesn’t want to guard me either, how can he be dedicated? Clan Chief, please bring Yun Xiao back."

After a while, the Clan Chief looked at Xia Dabao and said, "Little darling, don’t be too anxious. Yun Xiao indeed has been neglectful, and as Clan Chief, I naturally have to teach him a lesson. I believe Yun Xiao already realized his mistake, so I will release him now. Someone, call Yun Xiao out."

...

Yun Xiao had certainly suffered.

He usually stood upright when guarding Xia Dabao’s door, but his body was somewhat hunched and in evident pain after this ordeal.

Yet, he remained silent.

Xia Dabao remembered her mother had once said that some people have strong pride; if you see through them, don’t point it out. So, Xia Dabao didn’t say anything but had Peony make some tea and called, "Yun Xiao, come have some tea with me."

Yun Xiao didn’t move.

"The Clan Chief said you must obey me this time. I get very bored alone, and if you don’t come over, I’ll tell the Clan Chief that you’re being disobedient!"

Only then did Yun Xiao slowly walk over and sit in front of Xia Dabao, but he clearly looked in pain.

He downed the tea Xia Dabao poured for him and then said, "I don’t need your sympathy."

"Who is sympathizing with you?" Xia Dabao sipped her tea and added, "I’m genuinely bored."

Yun Xiao didn’t respond after that.

For one, standing was indeed painful for him and, for another, Xia Dabao really meant well.

While drinking her tea, Xia Dabao asked Yun Xiao, "Actually, I’ve always wanted to know what kind of person the Clan Chief is."

Yun Xiao just coldly looked at Xia Dabao, "Some things, if you’re not supposed to know, you shouldn’t be curious."

"What if Axian’s illness is completely cured, and the Clan Chief’s Gu is also healed, what will happen to Axian and me then?" Xia Dabao asked.

Her voice was low, almost inaudible if one wasn’t paying attention.

"Don’t think that because you pleaded with the Clan Chief, I will tell you," Yun Xiao still remained unmoved.

"What about... this?" Xia Dabao suddenly kissed Yun Xiao on the cheek.

At that moment, Yun Xiao suddenly shivered and sat up straight.

Xia Dabao rested her chin on her hands and coyly smiled at Yun Xiao, "Do you think this will work?"

A long time passed before Yun Xiao replied to Xia Dabao indifferently, "To me, that kiss was no different from being kissed by a sow, so, I won’t tell you anything."

...

Dragon Tooth Gang.

Long Aixi watched as the Carrier Pigeon flew back from afar, finally landing on the windowsill.

A trace of surprise flickered across his handsome face.

But that trace of surprise quickly disappeared.

For the letter tied to the pigeon’s leg was the very one he had originally written; he didn’t know whether Xia Dabao had even read it. Either way, the letter had been returned just as it was.
