"What a coincidence to meet you two again! Someone’s chasing me. Just say you haven’t seen me, please help!"
Xiao Cancan said and immediately squeezed under the table where the two were eating, quickly pulling down the tablecloth.
The two were a bit bewildered.
At that moment, several figures rushed upstairs, all dressed in matching outfits, looking around solemnly.
They even checked some private rooms, causing the occupants to curse, but these people exuded the aura of Golden Core, instantly silencing those who were eating.
After searching and not finding anyone, they left in a hurry.
"They’re gone, you can come out now!" Yan Xiaohu lightly knocked on the table.
"Shh, keep your voice down, they might come back!" came a voice from under the table.
Sure enough, after a few breaths, the few who had left made a surprise return, even leaping to the window positions where the two were sitting, frowning and releasing strong Divine Sense to search.
After looking around, they shook their heads at each other.
"Sorry for the disturbance!" The Golden Core who was at the window clapped his hands towards the two and then jumped down.
Yan Xiaohu stood up and looked; they had gathered downstairs, talking about something, then dispersed into the crowd and disappeared.
"Now they’re really gone!" Zhou Qing said.
Xiao Cancan cautiously untied the tablecloth, ensuring they had left before breathing a long sigh of relief.
"We are truly fated to meet, fellow Daoists!" Xiao Cancan sat down naturally and greeted the two.
Before Yan Xiaohu could speak, she immediately took out a few Spirit Stones and placed them on the table.
"No need to share a table this time, it’s my treat!" Xiao Cancan laughed.
Yan Xiaohu said blandly, "It’s already paid for."
She then cleared her throat and quickly shifted the topic, looking at Zhou Qing, "Thank you for last time. I, Xiao, always repay a favor. Whatever you want, just say it."
Zhou Qing smiled and said, "No need for repayment. We two brothers are ordinary people and don’t want to stir up trouble. You see..."
Though I don’t know what you’ve done to be chased by a group of Golden Core Realm people, we just want to stay in Lingyun Mansion for a few days and don’t want to get involved in your troubles.
Hearing this, Xiao Cancan immediately realized they misunderstood.
Feeling embarrassed, she said, "It’s not an enemy, don’t worry. I mainly came here to meet someone today, so I won’t disturb you..."
At that moment, a surprised voice sounded from behind. Then, a beautiful woman gracefully walked up the stairs.
Her appearance instantly caught everyone’s attention. She was like a delicate flower blooming in the dark night, with loosely gathered jet-black hair, fair skin, and an irresistible allure at the corners of her uplifted eyes.
She wore a light purple gauzy dress that fluttered as she moved, especially emphasizing her figure, almost bursting forth from her clothes, making her the center of attention.
Every gesture exuded charm.
Even Yan Xiaohu and Zhou Qing couldn’t help but take a second look.
"Wanli Jie, over here—"
Seeing the beautiful woman, Xiao Cancan happily raised her hand and greeted.
"Okay, you guys continue eating, I’ll be off!" Xiao Cancan stood up.
At that moment, the beautiful woman walked over. With Xiao Cancan rising, their line of sight cleared, and when she saw Yan Xiaohu at the table, the beautiful woman was stunned, and a smile slowly spread on her lips.
"Yan Xiaohu, long time no see!"
The beautiful woman greeted Yan Xiaohu directly after walking up.
This sudden greeting left Yan Xiaohu dumbfounded, and Zhou Qing immediately looked at his third senior brother.
Wait, what’s going on?
