"Hero Xiao, you and Xie Luohe actually..."
As Zheng Xiu passed, Dugu Xiang gave him a suspicious glance. He clearly knew what had just happened up there.
The reason he was ahead of Zheng Xiu was that he had secretly used Qinggong to rush through the woods, then reappeared on the path acting as if nothing was amiss.
Zheng Xiu shook his head and said with a wry smile, "The matters of the heart are complicated. Forgive the embarrassing display, Brother Dugu."
'I never thought I'd end up talking to the "World's Number One Sword" all because of Xie Luohe.'
Dugu Xiang wore a strange expression and didn't reply.
"By the way, Brother Dugu, if someone were to cause trouble for me, Xiao Buping, here in Hidden Sword Manor—or even try to kill me for revenge—wouldn't that mean they have no respect for Hidden Sword Manor?"
Zheng Xiu gathered his courage and spoke loudly.
