C16 He Ran into an Old Friend
Ling Xiao instructed. The waiter served three side dishes and ordered a pot of wine. Such a simple dish cost Ling Xiao five gold coins. This was equivalent to the annual expenses of a commoner. However, Ling Xiao did not feel any heartache. In any case, he would be able to earn a lot of money very soon. These few gold coins were indeed nothing.
Ling Xiao had only taken two sips of wine and some side dishes when there was a commotion downstairs.
Soon, the sound of footsteps came from the stairs.
Only three people came up, two men and one woman.
The most attractive one was the girl walking in the middle. She was around 17 years old and her beauty was no less than Bai Yuxi's. It was just that there was less of Bai Yuxi's charm, but there was more of a cold arrogance that could repel people thousands of miles away. She was dressed in fiery red clothes. It was especially dazzling. The collar was decorated with golden edges. It was beautiful and noble. Her delicate hands were as white as a green onion, and she held a purple whip in her hands.
The man on the right of the girl was extremely tall and strong, and he gave off the feeling of being tall and sturdy. His arms were bare, and two thick arms were exposed. The veins on his arms were like numerous ferocious pythons, and they were extremely terrifying. He was still holding the mace in his hand, and the giant thorns made people feel cold.
On the girl's left was a man who looked somewhat similar to Lee Guangyin. He did not look outstanding, but he was dressed in fine clothes. It made him look very noble. His viper-like eyes made people not dare to look directly at him. He held a thin sword in his hand that was sparkling. It was clearly an extraordinary sword.
Ling Xiao felt a sense of familiarity when he saw the girl. However, he did not have a deep impression of her, so he only glanced at her and continued drinking.
The girl looked around, as if she was looking for a place. She suddenly looked towards Ling Xiao, then pointed at Ling Xiao's place and said to the waiter, "I want this place, let them leave.
The waiter immediately bowed and said, "Miss Luo, I will let them leave now.
The waiter came in front of Ling Xiao and said, " Excuse me, can you two go to the other table? Miss Luo has booked your seats.
Ling Xiao said unhappily. Why should we leave? Could it be that this is how your restaurant treats its guests?
"Young Master, you have seen it clearly. She is the young miss of the Luo family. If you provoke her, there will be no good outcome!" The waiter explained.
In Meteor Rock City, who wouldn't give the three great families face? The girl in front of him was the granddaughter of the patriarch of Luo family, Luo Qingshuang. She was doted on by master and was already an intermediate profound warrior at a young age. Such talent was rare in Meteor Rock City.
"What's wrong with Luo family? I'm from the Ling family. "Get away from me, don't stop me from eating." Ling Xiao didn't care about these things. He would never agree to such an unreasonable request.
"You..." The waiter was about to say something when he was interrupted.
"Isn't this Ling Xiao from the Ling family? I didn't expect the people from the three great families would be here today. Why don't we gather together?" At this moment, the man who looked similar to Lee Guangyin said. He was Lee Guangyin's big brother, Lee Guanghan.
"Who are you? Don't try to get close to me here. I don't know you, so don't bother me here. There are plenty of seats here. If you want to have dinner, go to the other tables." Ling Xiao said impatiently.
As soon as Ling Xiao finished speaking, Lee Guanghan's face darkened. He looked like he was about to get angry.
At this time, the girl in red asked, "You are Ling Xiao?
"Yes, it is me. Do you look familiar?" Ling Xiao took a sip of wine and answered lightly. Ling Xiao was a lecher in his previous life. When he saw a beautiful woman, he could not help but flirt with her.
"Humph, we've met before." The young girl said with a cold snort.
Ling Xiao looked at the girl and said, "I don't think we have any conflicts."
"You and I have conflicts." The young lady responded. She waved the purple whip in her hand and attacked Ling Xiao like a snake.
"Damn, you want to kill me!" Ling Xiao shouted and jumped up from his seat.
Suddenly, Ling Xiao's original seat was torn apart by the purple whip.
"Young Master!" Bai Yuxi called out worriedly from the side.
Ling Xiao landed on the table and shouted at the girl. "Hey, even if I don't give you a seat, you don't have to hit me. You really have no manners.
The girl scolded him and swung the purple whip at Ling Xiao's waist again. Her speed was a bit faster than before.
However, this young girl only cared about finding trouble with Ling Xiao. She had completely forgotten that there was someone else beside her.
But Ling Xiao did not forget. If he dodged this whip, then this whip would definitely land on Bai Yuxi's body. If he did not dodge, he would not be able to fight back.
"Damn it, crazy woman!" Ling Xiao cursed and turned around. He held Bai Yuxi in his arms and was whipped.
Instantly, Ling Xiao's waist was injured. A long wound cracked open and blood seeped out.
Ling Xiao couldn't help but take a cold breath. She was really ruthless.
Luo Qingshuang did not attack him anymore. Her expression seemed to be a little ugly.
"Young Master Ling, you really love women. Even if you hurt yourself, you're not willing to let this maid get hurt. I really admire you." Lee Guanghan mocked from the side.
The giant man holding the mace did not say anything. He just looked at Ling Xiao with interest.
"Young Master, you've lost a lot of blood." Bai Yuxi's face was pale. Her beautiful eyes were red as she looked at the wound on Ling Xiao's waist. She blamed herself in her heart. Young Master was injured because he wanted to save her.
"I'm fine. Go away." Ling Xiao pushed Bai Yuxi away and tore a long cloth off his clothes. He tied it to his wound. Then, he raised his eyes and looked at Luo Qingshuang. He said faintly, "If you don't give me an explanation today, don't even think about leaving this place.
So what if she was a beautiful woman? If she was a woman as poisonous as a snake, he would hit her without any mistake.
"Don't you remember what happened seven years ago?" Luo Qingshuang curled her lips.
"What happened seven years ago?" Ling Xiao searched his memory and then looked at Luo Qingshuang's face. Suddenly, she overlapped with a shadow in his memory.
