Chapter 120. What a Coincidence

Chapter 120. What a Coincidence

Luo Xiaoxue thought she was hallucinating.

The person she had been longing to see, Lin Fanpai, actually appeared here!

No way, isn’t he called Lin Nuo? According to Su Kexin’s tone, he should be her martial brother!

Also, the Lin Fanpai she saw before had a dark face with scars, whereas the Lin Nuo in front of her was quite fair and handsome. However, their facial features were strikingly similar, and most importantly, those bright, expressive eyes—she could never forget that gaze.

Hmm…

Could it be the same person?

Luo Xiaoxue recalled that the Xuanyun Sect had sent over the cultivator Lin Nuo, but no one had seen him since.

Could it be that…

Luo Xiaoxue had a thought. What if Lin Nuo was deliberately using a pseudonym to be low-key while behaving heroically? And then maybe he even painted his face black and added a few scars?

That’s quite possible!

So should she reveal the matter of Lin Fanpai in front of him?

No, she couldn’t say it out loud; other people probably didn’t know. This was originally a secret between her and the great knight!

A special secret between the two of them, a history of their bond.

At this moment, Lin Nuo also saw Luo Xiaoxue and thought he was hallucinating. He instinctively rubbed his eyes. When he looked again, it really was her.

Oh my heavens? How did this girl end up here too? What in the world—I thought we agreed not to meet again, and yet here we are!

This is not good. He really didn’t want her to find out about the business he was involved in at You City; wouldn’t that be public execution?

He should have silenced her long ago.

Oh right, he had tried, but it didn’t work; Luo Yi’s protective spell was truly impressive.

Lin Nuo instinctively shifted his gaze away from Luo Xiaoxue, and at that moment, she had already walked up to him and smiled.

“Lin Daxia, hello, we meet again!”

“Hmm? Miss, have we met?” Lin Nuo pretended to be clueless.

“Hmm… You might have too many important matters to recall me. I’m Luo Yi; we’ve met before. You’re Lin Nuo, the great knight; I remember that very clearly.”

“Hmm?”

Lin Nuo sensed something was amiss. This didn’t make sense; shouldn’t she be calling him Lin Fanpai?

What’s going on? She doesn’t recognize him?

“Oh, hello, Miss Luo.” Lin Nuo adjusted his expression, becoming serious. “Sorry, I’m not in the best state right now. Maybe we can talk later.”

“Oh, alright, then you rest well.”

Luo Xiaoxue squinted and chuckled lightly. Listening to his voice and tone, he seemed rather aloof; it must be him. He just didn’t want to admit it.

Upon seeing Lin Nuo, Luo Xiaoxue felt elated. It was even better that Lin Nuo wasn’t in a good state; if he rested here longer, she could see him more often.

Since he was a cultivator from the Xuanyun Sect, it would be much more convenient to look for him in the future. However, she preferred to move discreetly without attracting attention. She also wanted to learn from Lin Nuo’s low-key humility. When she was outside, she would be Luo Yi and wouldn’t use her high-and-mighty princess identity to pressure people.

Lin Nuo was sent back to his room to lie down, while Liu Shuqin and Su Kexin closed the door and returned to meet Luo Xiaoxue.

“Senior Sister, let me introduce you. This is Miss Luo Yi, the daughter of a prominent family in Huang City. It was thanks to her leading the troops to support me; otherwise, I would have lost my life.”

“Kexin, I’ve met Miss Luo Yi.”

Liu Shuqin bowed respectfully to Luo Xiaoxue. Liu Shuqin’s father was a general patrolling the border, and she had benefited from that, allowing her to meet various royalty and nobles. She recognized Luo Xiaoxue but also knew Luo Xiaoxue preferred to go out incognito. Hence, she wouldn’t immediately kneel and offer accolades to avoid exposing Luo Xiaoxue’s identity.

She could read the room; evidently, Luo Xiaoxue wished to conceal her identity, and she would be tactful enough not to expose it.

“Hmm, I’ve met Liu Yi as well.”

Luo Xiaoxue returned the greeting politely, and on the surface, both parties seemed harmonious, though each had their own agenda.

Liu Shuqin: When did she get to know my junior disciple?

Luo Xiaoxue: What did they go through together, returning with the great knight?

Su Kexin: What a small world; turns out they all know each other. How wonderful!

“Senior Sister, where have you and Senior Brother been? I was so worried about you both.”

“My junior disciple rescued me from the battlefield; he just exhausted too much spiritual energy, so I’m taking care of him.”

“Oh, I see. Sigh, the meteor falling onto the battlefield was terrifying, but it happened to annihilate the alien army, which is a stroke of good fortune. Otherwise, if the alien troops continued their siege, we would have been in dire straits.”

Su Kexin sighed.

“I was wondering if my senior brother knew in advance about the meteor falling. He was looking through that book ‘Sky Star’ earlier.”

“Hmm? You mean he read ‘Sky Star’?”

Liu Shuqin reacted to the name of the book. ‘Sky Star’ was a celestial record, but it often included descriptions of monsters and supernatural beings. Liu Shuqin had flipped through it before; it resembled more of a myth.

“Yeah, he did. After he reached Hu City, he insisted on securing a stronghold and even dispatched troops to guard it. Just when the meteor fell, the alien army attacked at that stronghold and was blasted away by the meteor. He kept it hidden from everyone to avoid leaking information, especially since there have been many spies among the rebels lately. He wanted to take me away before the meteor fell, but unfortunately, I ran first. Senior Sister, you just happened to head to the stronghold for support, so he took you away. Haha, am I overthinking this?”

Su Kexin chuckled. After all, previously Lin Nuo had demonstrated exceptional wisdom and foresight during the alchemy room incident; looking back on all his actions now seemed to imply a grand design.

“It’s not surprising.”

Liu Shuqin replied, convinced Lin Nuo knew about the meteor falling; whether he had planned it was beyond her knowledge.

The three chatted for a while, and then Su Kexin left, leaving Liu Shuqin and Luo Xiaoxue alone.

With no outsiders around, Liu Shuqin quickly knelt down:

“Greetings, Your Highness the Princess.”

“No, no, Miss Liu, please don’t.”

Luo Xiaoxue hurriedly helped Liu Shuqin up.

“I’m not a princess when I’m out. There’s no need for formalities; we’ve met before, you know this. Just call me Luo Yi now.”

“Then Miss Luo, did you go missing before because my junior disciple Lin Nuo found you?”

“Not exactly.”

“Then how did you come to know my junior disciple Lin Nuo?”

“I received his help before.”

Luo Xiaoxue lied; she didn’t want anyone else knowing about her time in You City. That belonged to her secret with the great knight.

“Miss Liu, why are you curious about this?”

“Oh, just curious.”

“Just curious?”

“Yes, just curious.”

Liu Shuqin responded earnestly, and the two looked at each other, sharing a smile. They were both very perceptive, sensing that the other had some interest in Lin Nuo.

……

Lin Nuo lay in his room, sneezing a few times.

“What’s going on? Did I catch a cold?”

He quickly bundled himself up under the covers, finding warmth at last.
