Chapter 15     Lost

Xuan Luo had no idea how big Wu Dang truly was. As a result, he actually got lost. He has no idea where he was.

Aside from a couple of striking objects/locations, Wu Dang’s architecture looks very similar. Thus, it isn’t surprising that Xuan Luo has gone the wrong way.

Honestly, it isn’t surprising for a new disciple to get lost on these mountainous roads the first couple of months. However, usually after a month or so, this will no longer occur. Even if a person has terrible memory; after constantly walking the same path hundreds of times, he will remember it by heart.

“s.h.i.+ mei, walk slower!” A woman’s voice appeared out of nowhere. Xuan Luo a.n.a.lyzed the voice; although there was a bit of frustration in her tone, he could also hear the love and care from it.

“s.h.i.+ jie, come chase me!” Another voice could be heard. This one sounded very playful and sweet.

“Ai ya!” Suddenly, the girl yelped.

The female disciple wasn’t watching where she was going, and she collided right into Xuan Luo. The impact caused her to fall down. Xuan Luo was slightly shocked and a bit shaken by the surprise.

“s.h.i.+ mei, are you alright?” The other female rushed over as she helped the girl up. Then she furiously turned to Xuan Luo and blasted, “What’s wrong with you? Couldn’t you stepped aside when you noticed my s.h.i.+ mei?”

Xuan Luo was taken aback by the female’s reaction. He didn’t even do anything. Plus, he wasn’t wearing the robe that belonged to Wu Dang.

The female noticed that as well, and started to develop suspicion on Xuan Luo.

“s.h.i.+ jie, I am okay. I just fell down. I was careless. Don’t blame him!” The girl tried to defuse the situation.

But the explanation was not good enough for the lady. She glared at Xuan Luo, her eyes filled with spite.

Xuan Luo does not know what to do. His mind felt clouded. He honestly did not do anything!

“I’m sorry. When I saw you running over, I wasn’t paying attention.” Xuan Luo sincerely apologized; although he knew that regardless of what he said, the lady was not going to accept it. But then again, he was a little at fault.

The thing is, the girl who fell down has an oval shaped face; her eyes were big and bright, pink lips, and was extremely pleasing to the eyes. Based on what he could tell, this girl did not have one bit of countryside vibe to her. Instead, she seemed more exceptional. Hence, Xuan Luo was too mesmerized and did not pay attention.

“Don’t…don’t worry about it.” The girl stuttered. She wasn’t sure how she should react to Xuan Luo.

“s.h.i.+ mei. You are too kind. We don’t even know where he is from; whether he is good or bad. You can’t go to easy on him!” The lady scowled as she continued looking at Xuan Luo through her accusing eyes.

“s.h.i.+ jie, I don’t think he’s a bad guy!” The s.h.i.+ mei whispered. But when she saw the way her s.h.i.+ jie was looking at Xuan Luo, she no longer dared to utter another word.
