Chapter 37: Chapter 37 Rise Again_1
The funeral was held in a very simple manner. After seeing her master buried, Xiaren packed up everything and knelt down to kowtow thrice. The grace of her upbringing transcended the heavens; starting from that day, she would venture outside the mountain, perhaps never to return.
After bowing, Xiaren departed without a word to them. Qiao Anchu was livid, feeling utterly disregarded by Xiaren.
Shen Sichen and Ye Mohan exchanged looks, seemingly helpless.
Xiaren seemed to have become thoroughly estranged from them. They acknowledged their part in failing to save her promptly during the previous mishap. Plus, there could be other reasons.
In Shen Sichen’s view, Qiao Xiaren was acting willfully. As fellow apprentices and siblings, was there a need for such pettiness?
Xiaren, of course, did not concern herself with their thoughts. She returned to her room, gathered her belongings, and followed Si Limo down the mountain.
From then on, she would no longer return to Shanshui Town. This place which had seen her growth, nurtured her, and where the villagers were kind-hearted. However, this wasn’t her home; her origins still undiscovered, she didn’t even know the location of her actual home.
The journey that laid ahead was both foreign yet fascinating to Xiaren.
This was the first time in her life that Qiao Xiaren had left the mountain. Due to the topography of Shanshui Town, they had to cross several mountains on foot, their luggage in tow.
However, Xiaren was far from being a pampered girl. Like a tomboy, she walked ahead with Si Limo. Si Limo gave her a glance, his admiration for her noticeably intensifying.
“Do you need any help?”
A clean and slender hand reached out, the nails well-trimmed.
Xiairen looked up to see the man’s profoundly handsome features, smooth and exquisite lines gracing his face. His eyes held a hint of amusement, the corners of his mouth slightly lifted.
Admittedly, this man possessed an enchanting and breathtakingly good-looking face.
Xiaren cast him a lazy glance, her tone casual and indifferent. Unlike other girls, she did not have a soft aura about her. Her voice was also unique—charmingly low and captivating. A voice so mesmerizing it gave shivers of anticipation; bewitching to another level.
Si Limo’s breath hitched, feeling a slight flutter in his chest.
Qiao Xiaren didn’t notice Si Limo’s actions or thoughts. Silent as ever, a familiar voice echoed in her mind, Xiaotianax raving: “Qiaoqiaoqiaoqiaoqiaoqiao, your Star Luck Value increased again! Congratulations, congratulations!”
