Chapter 80: Meeting the Old Beggar Again
“Pfft!”
A long wooden pole precisely impaled a carp in the rushing river. Hongxiao flew over to retrieve the pole, smiling at the woman on the bank.
“Hongxiao, there are more under your feet.”
No sooner had Lu Jianjia spoken than a second wooden pole flew from her hand, landing straight and true right beneath Hongxiao, who effortlessly scooped it up along with the catch.
Two poles, three fish.
Wang Xu walked over and praised, “Miss Lu has astonishing talent. In just a few days, you’ve nearly reached the point of never missing your mark.”
“You’re the one who’s truly impressive,” Lu Jianjia said, glancing at the wooden pole in Wang Xu’s hand, which had actually skewered a turtle.
“What was that sound?!”
Lu Jianjia’s expression changed abruptly. Wang Xu immediately became alert, and Hongxiao drew the slender sword from beneath her umbrella.
“So fast.”
Lu Jianjia exclaimed in shock. She sensed the tree branches moving dozens of yards away; one moment they were swaying slightly, and the next, something had already closed the distance.
Wang Xu frowned, saying, “What kind of speed is this? Covering dozens of yards in less than half a breath!”
“It’s here.”
Hongxiao gripped her sword, feeling a rare flicker of tension in her heart.
Too fast!
In just a single breath, it had crossed dozens of yards of forest!
At the same time, a figure descended from the cliff, landing on the water with a “thud” that sent a spray of waves into the air. It was none other than Gu Shiyi.
