Chapter 264: Encounter
“All right. Thank you,” replied Baili Han very directly. He could not deny that Ling Chuxi’s words made a lot of sense. Based on how he had been walking around, it was impossible to know when he would actually arrive at the capital. Originally, his father had said that he had sent people to pick him up, but he seemed to have missed them at the stage station. He then thought that he could find his own way back home, but he never thought that he’d end up losing his way all the way to the mountain range. Now that there was someone to lead the way back to the capital, this option was naturally the best one for him to take.
Just like that, Ling Chuxi brought Baili Han with her as she left the mountain range and returned to the capital. Along the way, the two of them did not talk much because Ling Chuxi felt extremely tired every time she heard him speak. So, she did not converse with him much. Baili Han also did not say much. The two of them were silent and harmonious along the way.
After entering the main gate of the capital, Baili Han still trailed behind Ling Chuxi. Noticing this, she could not help but turn and say, “Don’t tell me you still can’t recognize the way after arriving here? If you don’t, you can just ask around. Simply grab onto someone along the main street and ask them for directions. That’ll do.”
“Oh, right,” said Baili Han, suddenly getting the idea. Then he nodded to Ling Chuxi, “See you. Thank you.”
“All right. We’ll meet again very soon,” said Ling Chuxi with a smile. Of course they would meet again very soon. And when they did, it will definitely be at the fighting ring compet.i.tion!
Ling Chuxi also turned around to leave, but before she could even take two steps, she heard Baili Han asking someone, “May I ask, how do I get to, Wind Cloud Academy?”
And the voice that replied to Baili Han’s question was one that Ling Chuxi recognized very well.
“Oh, just go straight ahead from here, then turn left and then continue on straight from there. When you get to a bend in the road, turn right and you’ll reach your destination,” replied a familiar voice succinctly to Baili Han’s question. A familiar voice that actually belonged to Lan Xinyu.
Ling Chuxi spun around and was just about to greet Lan Xinyu when she saw a carriage rus.h.i.+ng over towards them at a high speed, accompanied by the howling of the panicking coachman, “Quickly get out of the way, get out of the way, the horse has been startled!”
In front of the carriage in the middle of the road was a little child that looked only about three or four years old. Seeing the rumbling carriage speeding towards him, the child was scared silly as he stood there in a daze, unable to move.
