Chapter 528 - 528 Confession

528 Confession

Su Xiaolu told Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao about going out to train.

The couple fell silent.

Su Sanlang seemed to have something to say, but he looked at Madam Zhao and did not say it.

Madam Zhao and he were just an ordinary couple and ordinary parents. They had always felt that Su Xiaolu was extraordinary, but from the bottom of their hearts, they also wanted Su Xiaolu to be like an ordinary girl and stay close to her parents.

They knew that this day would come sooner or later, but they were unwilling to accept it.

Su Xiaolu was also very quiet. She did not say much and just leaned against Madam Zhao quietly.

“Xiaolu, mother really wants to disagree.”

After a long time, Madam Zhao spoke.

She rubbed Su Xiaolu’s hair reluctantly and said softly, “But mother has no choice but to agree. Xiaolu, remember to come home often to see your parents.”

She still couldn’t bear for her to leave, but she couldn’t bear to make things difficult for Su Xiaolu even more.

Her youngest daughter had been filial and sensible since she was young. How could she bear to make her unhappy? When the child grew up, she had to fly away and be independent. As long as she remembered that no matter where she went, there would always be a home waiting for her.

Her youngest daughter, her darling, could fly to her heart’s content. She could walk the path that she had never walked before, see the scenery that she had never seen before, and meet many people. Only then would her life not be in vain.

“Go. Father and Mother will always be waiting for you at home.”

Su Sanlang also stroked Su Xiaolu’s hair gently and said gently.

Su Xiaolu hugged Madam Zhao and Su Sanlang.

The next day, everyone in the family knew that Su Xiaolu was going out.

Sun Baoqian and Lin Yaoyao also came to talk to Su Xiaolu before she left.

At night, Madam Zhao personally baked pancakes for Su Xiaolu. These dry pancakes could be stored for a long time.

Su Hua gave Su Xiaolu a map of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Su Chong touched her head. He had nothing to give her, so he could only give her some silver.

Su Xiaolu carefully put them away. At night, Madam Zhao packed her luggage carefully. It was light and easy to carry.

Su Xiaolu’s sword and needle bag were all packed for her.

Because she was going on a long trip, Su Xiaolu’s clothes were all made into men’s clothes. She tied her hair and looked like a handsome man for a moment.

Su Xiaolu rode a horse out of the city gate and slowly swung her whip. According to the map, she would have to spend the night in the deep mountains and forests.

However, it did not matter. It was normal to sleep in the wilderness outside. She just had to avoid too many ferocious beasts.

“Xiaolu, wait, Xiaolu…”

A voice came from behind. Su Xiaolu reined in and turned around. When the person was close, she asked, “Why are you here? Brother Baoshan?”

Sun Baoshan looked at Su Xiaolu with deep affection in his eyes. He said gently, “Xiaolu, I heard that you’re going to roam the world. Look at me. Can I accompany you?”

Only then did Su Xiaolu realize that there was a bag behind Sun Baoqian, but it looked a little messy. It looked like it was a last-minute idea.

Su Xiaolu frowned slightly and said, “But you should go to school properly. It’s dangerous to roam the martial world. I can’t bring you along.”

Su Xiaolu looked at Sun Baoshan. She felt that Sun Baoshan’s expression was a little different. She wondered what was going on.

Sun Baoshan looked at her steadily and said, “Xiaolu, what if I say that I like you? I… I mean, the kind of love that I want to marry you? I can wait for you to grow up. I can wait for years. Really, Xiaolu, I like you very much. I’ve liked you since a long time ago. I’ve liked you from the moment I saw you.”

Sun Baoshan had confessed. His face was red, and his words were incoherent.

But he did confess. He made it very clear.

Su Xiaolu took this matter seriously. She pondered for a moment before saying to Sun Baoshan, “Brother Baoshan, I’m sorry. I only treat you as a friend. We’re not compatible, and I don’t like you. Perhaps you’ll say that I’m still young and don’t know what love is, but no. I already understand what love really means.”

“For example, my eldest brother loves my sister-in-law and wants to be with her. Second Brother loves Second Sister-in-law too. Third Sister and Brother-in-law love each other too. They would love each other for the rest of their lives. As for you, I can’t do it.”

Su Xiaolu also clearly expressed her feelings. Perhaps Sun Baoshan would be depressed for a while and be disappointed and sad.

But this was something he had to experience because she wouldn’t like him.

“Xiaolu, is it because I don’t know martial arts that you don’t like me?”

Sun Baoshan was very sad. He remembered that Su Xiaolu liked people who knew martial arts. He was conflicted, but he still asked. Anyway, he had already said it. It didn’t matter.

He thought Su Xiaolu would nod, but she shook her head.

Sun Baoshan found it difficult to accept. “Why?”

If it wasn’t because he didn’t know martial arts, why couldn’t she like him?

Su Xiaolu explained seriously, “Brother Baoshan, I admire men who are skilled in martial arts, but that’s not for sure. I don’t like you, I just don’t like you without love. I’m still very happy that we know each other and are good friends, but that’s all. I’m leaving. You should go back quickly. Goodbye.”

Su Xiaolu could lie to him and say that she liked men who knew martial arts.

However, she did not want to lie to Sun Baoshan. After all, they had known each other for so many years. She did not want to fill it in with lies.

She refused. No matter what, Sun Baoshan would be sad, but sadness had a time limit. It would be fine once it passed.

She had made it clear today so that he would not be sad about this in the future. This matter was over. When he calmed down, he could welcome someone better and more suitable. It was best to welcome them in his best state.

Su Xiaolu left.

Sun Baoshan looked at Su Xiaolu’s back gloomily. He sighed. He had given up.

Before this, Madam Lian had already told him, but he did not give up. His sister knew his intentions.

Su Xiaolu was going out to train. Sun Baoqian told him about it and he had not slept all night and had mustered up the courage to chase after her. In the end, he was very depressed, but he knew that he really did not have a chance.

He turned his horse around and returned to the city. Along the way, Sun Baoshan was in a daze.

His thoughts were floating.

When the horse hit something, he came back to his senses and realized that his horse had hit a carriage. Before he could speak, a manservant frowned and said, “Are you blind? Do you know that you hit someone?”

Sun Baoshan was not in the mood to deal with this matter. He took off the money bag at his waist and threw it into the manservant’s hand. “It’s my fault. I’ll compensate.”

With that, he pulled the reins and left.

The manservant frowned. This money bag was heavy, so it was enough to compensate. It was more than enough.

Hence, he did not pester her anymore. He turned around and handed the money bag to the person in the carriage. “Miss, this person is quite polite. He compensated us. Looking at how dejected he is, he must have been distracted by something.”
