Chapter 206: That Boy Has Dangerous Hobby

Hearing what Xiao Shao said, Xu Xiang asked curiously: "Which sect?"

Xiao Shao tried to recall for a moment and said, "It’s the Yao Gu Sect."

Feeling that the name sounded familiar, Xu Xiang tried to remember where she had heard the name. After a while, she remembered that when they were looking for a place to live, Mu Yucheng told her and A Lu Zhi that he had been to Yao Gu Sect with his master before.

’A sect that is related to the Tian Jian Sect must also be one of those hidden sects. No wonder they can cultivate medicinal herbs and have the capital to do so. Sure enough... Those hidden sects are really rich.’

Xiao Shao noticed that after he mentioned the Yao Gu Sect, Xu Xiang didn’t speak at all. He stood beside her, looking at her silently. Xu Xiang felt a familiar gaze on her again, and looked up.

Sure enough, Xiao Shao was staring at her again. She scratched her cheek and thought: ’There must be something wrong with this man. I wonder how many people he has offended by his habit of blatantly staring at people like this.’

She coughed lightly and said, "Well, I have already shown you around the village. Do you want to go somewhere else?"

Xiao Shao shook his head as an answer. As a person who is not good at socializing, she didn’t know how to continue the conversation, and they fell into an awkward silence.

After a long silence, she suddenly asked, "Young Master Xiao, how did you find this village? Why did you come here?"

Thinking that there is nothing to hide from her, Xiao Shao replied calmly: "I came here after following the villagers."

"You follow A Lu Da and the others? Could it be that you met them in the bandits’ den?" She asked again.

Xiao Shao replied calmly: "After they saved the women and children, I did follow them."

She was a little curious and asked, "Why did you go to the bandits’ den?"

Xiao Shao didn’t notice that he looked at her more tenderly, and asked, "Do you still remember the bandits who almost assaulted Jing’er and Second Miss Fan?"

Recalling that night, Xu Xiang nodded.

He then said, "I didn’t know until after you fell into the deep ravine that the bandits offered a bounty for our heads. For the safety of my family and the Fan family, I tracked down those bandits. It was later that I learned that behind this group of bandits, there was another powerful figure related to the court ministers of the Shang Empire. Last night, I went there to investigate who was behind those bandits. Unfortunately, before I could find anything useful, someone blew up the bandits’ den."

Xu Xiang heard that someone had blown up the bandits’ den, and A Lu Zhi’s face appeared in her mind. She couldn’t help thinking: ’That boy has a dangerous hobby. ’

Seeing that she was speechless, Xiao Shao said seriously: "Don’t worry, Miss Xu. I won’t put you in danger again. This time, it’s my turn to protect you."

After saying this, he clenched his hands, lowered his eyes, and concealed his dark emotions.

Xu Xiang looked at him and said, "Young Master Xiao, you have no responsibility to protect me. I can protect myself."

Looking up, Xiao Shao looked into her eyes and said in a deep voice: "This is what I want to do, and I didn’t protect you out of responsibility."

She stared at him for a while and found that he was really serious. She was a little embarrassed, looked away and asked, "Since you still want to find out about the mastermind behind the bandits, you won’t stay here, will you?"

Hearing what she said, Xiao Shao couldn’t help thinking: ’She doesn’t want me to accompany her? Why?’

Before he could ask her, he heard footsteps approaching them.

"Greetings, Supreme General Xiao." A woman’s voice came from behind him.

Xu Xiang looked at the woman and smiled slightly at her. "Good morning, Nuan Nuan’s mother."

Gu Yanjiu smiled at her and said, "Good morning, Miss Xu."

Xiao Shao turned to look at Gu Yanjiu, and his eyes flickered when he saw her standing there. Gu Yanjiu saw the surprise in his eyes and smiled. She gave him a courtesy and said, "Supreme General Xiao, long time no see."

Xiao Shao returned her courtesy while saying, "There is no need to call me as supreme general anymore. I’m just a commoner now."

Gu Yanjiu’s smile deepened, and said, "Eldest Young Master Xiao hasn’t changed at all."

Xiao Shao didn’t want to play yin and yang words with her, and said, "I didn’t expect to see County Princess Chang Le here. Does County Princess Chang Le know that the emperor of the Bei Wei Empire is still looking for you?"

Hearing his question, Gu Yanjiu laughed and said, "Of course I know that white-eyed wolf won’t stop until he gets what he wants."

Xiao Shao looked at her silently for a few seconds, and said, "Listening to County Princess Chang Le’s words, you seem to know why they are still looking for you, whether you are alive or dead."

Gu Yanjiu looked at him calmly, and said, "He has been looking for me for so many years, doesn’t he just want the treasure left by my royal father?"

After finishing speaking, she observed Xiao Shao’s expression again, and asked, "Eldest Young Master Xiao also wants it?"

Xiao Shao chuckled lightly and said, "If I say yes, will County Princess Chang Le willingly give it to me?"

"Yes." Gu Yanjiu answered seriously.

He looked at her with raised eyebrows, and said, "County Princess Chang Le, if you are serious about wanting to give me your late father’s treasures, then you must want something from me. It is a pity that I can get the treasure by myself."

After hearing what he said, Gu Yanjiu was not angry, but smiled instead. Looking at her slight smile, Xiao Shao asked, "County Princess Chang Le doesn’t believe me?"
