Chapter 57

Was there any need to say that?

It made it sound like they'd been sleeping in the same bed all this time.

Lu Wanxiao felt that Song Changting's words somehow seemed a bit off, but she didn't dwell on it.

After entering the room, as he had said, she didn't wait for him. She went straight into her space, freshened up quickly, threw herself on the bed, and went to meet the Sandman.

After Song Changting finished talking with Fu Ziyi and returned to the room, seeing the empty bed, he chuckled and said, "You little liar."

She had said those things earlier that day, and he thought she would...

The next day.

After breakfast, Lu Wanxiao checked Qing Zhou's wounds, who had been brought out from the basement, and replaced the medicine Fu Ziyi had applied with her own from her space.

After that, she wrote a prescription for internal injuries. She initially wanted Fu Ziyi to get the medicine, but remembering that she also needed a few medicinal herbs herself, she went in person.

Whether it was the herbs Qing Zhou needed or the ones she was missing, several were uncommon. Lu Wanxiao had visited almost every pharmacy in Jinghe County without finding all of them.

"It seems I'll have to go up the mountain myself," Lu Wanxiao mumbled to herself, carrying the medicine as she left Huichun Hall.

After leaving Huichun Hall, Lu Wanxiao looked at her empty wallet and, thinking of the nearby Worry-Free Pawnshop, considered pawning a few items.

She had already selected the items and was nearly at the pawnshop, but then she remembered the last time with the jade hairpin, and she decisively gave up on the idea and turned toward Biren Stream.

Forget it, I'll find another pawnshop another time.

Even if they rip me off a bit, I got these things for free anyway.

Just as Lu Wanxiao turned around, the man who had calmed the startled horse and saved them yesterday happened to step out of the Worry-Free Pawnshop.

The man stretched, then looked around, and suddenly saw a figure that seemed familiar—it seemed like the girl from last night.

No, young married woman.

Since she was already married, she could no longer be called a girl.

He had missed that last night; no wonder her husband didn't look too happy when he called her "girl."

Recalling that familiar sense about her, he acted without a second thought and quickly chased after her, weaving through the crowd and pretending to run into her by chance, stopping right in front of her.

Lu Wanxiao was walking along normally when someone suddenly blocked her way. She stopped, displeased, and upon seeing that it was the man from yesterday, she frowned almost imperceptibly.

She thought she'd never see this guy again after last night, yet she ran into him the very next day while buying medicine.

Why was this man haunting her?

"What a coincidence, meeting again."

As soon as the man spoke, out came the same clichéd lines.

Lu Wanxiao secretly rolled her eyes. This man really was beyond words.

But this clichéd, familiar greeting proved they hadn't actually met by chance.

Was this guy following her?

Lu Wanxiao narrowed her eyes.

Yet on second thought, that seemed impossible. If someone had been following her, Hua Hua would have noticed.

Unless his martial arts were extremely powerful, surpassing Qing Zhou, so that even Hua Hua didn't detect him?

But that seemed impossible too. Qing Zhou was naturally gifted and fueled by vengeance, which made him so formidable.

Experts weren't a dime a dozen—you didn't run into them on every corner.

So, this man must have spotted her somewhere just now and deliberately come over for a "chance encounter."

"Such a coincidence," Lu Wanxiao said with a forced smile, stressing the word "coincidence."
