786 It Was A Pleasure To Meet You

Li Kuo watched Mantis Shrimp and Su Xiaolu interact with envy.

He pursed his lips and said softly, “Miss Zhao, you’re really very good. I’ve never seen a woman like you.”

Li Kuo looked at Su Xiaolu with admiration in his eyes. He had really never seen such a woman and would never see her again.

Perhaps his admiration was too obvious, Su Xiaolu understood a little. She smiled at Li Kuo, then looked at the strange lake in the distance and said, “Young Master Li, that’s because the secular world has too many rules for women. If men and women were equal, women like me would be everywhere.”

“Whether it’s me or other women, we’re all unique. Everyone is a shining star.”

Su Xiaolu felt that Li Kuo’s impression of her was too inexplicable. In her opinion, Li Kuo was a simple, bright, and warm man who had been in his comfortable world for too long and had not stepped into the outside world.

Su Xiaolu had traveled with her Masters and had studied martial arts for many years. Her two Masters were free and unrestrained people. If she followed them, her personality would naturally become more and more like theirs.

She must be different from other women. Li Kuo was just attracted to that.

After she left Changzhou, in time, she would also be forgotten by Li Kuo.

Su Xiaolu said it openly. Li Kuo was touched. He smiled and echoed, “Miss Zhao is right.”

Miss Zhao really had no feelings for him at all, so she would not blush or be nervous.

Li Kuo sighed secretly. The girl had no intentions, and he was helpless. Why should he bother her again?

“Miss Zhao, when will you leave Changzhou?”

Li Kuo asked.

Su Xiaolu smiled. “Soon. Around October.”

By October, she should have explored most of the stones in the strange lake.

“Li Kuo wishes you a safe journey.”

Li Kuo pretended to smile carefreely.

Su Xiaolu smiled. “Then I also wish Young Master Li a smooth journey in the future.”

Li Kuo smiled and nodded. He stood up. “Miss Zhao, it was a pleasure to meet you. Goodbye.”

After saying goodbye, the weight in his heart was finally lifted. He did not know if he would have the chance to see Su Xiaolu again in this life, but he knew that he was finally not so uncomfortable.

Su Xiaolu also smiled and said goodbye. Watching Li Kuo turn around and leave, Su Xiaolu continued to focus on eating the rabbit leg.

“The weather is going to turn cold. Otherwise, I really want to enter the foreign land.”

Su Xiaolu said to Mantis Shrimp.

“Xiaolu, where should we go next?”

Mantis Shrimp looked at Su Xiaolu and asked.

Su Xiaolu pondered for a moment and said, “To Suzhou.”

It was not far from Changzhou. Since they had no fixed destination, they would walk around.

Su Xiaolu finished the meat. She wiped her hands clean and picked up Mantis Shrimp. She examined him and asked, “Mantis Shrimp, can you swim?”

Mantis Shrimp: “…”

It was really difficult. He said weakly, “Xiaolu, I’m still a baby.”

Su Xiaolu rubbed his head. “Hmph, you clearly said that you’re no longer an infant. That strange lake stinks. I go there every day for you.”

Mantis Shrimp was silent.

In the next half a month, Mantis Shrimp also went into the water. He found the interface stones and carried them all ashore. Then, he waited for Su Xiaolu to put the stones into the Space.

Just as she had expected, in early October, the stones in the lake had been explored. Su Xiaolu also brought Mantis Shrimp into Changzhou City. After sending some information with her identity token, she left with Mantis Shrimp.

As soon as Su Xiaolu left, the news was sent to the Li Residence.

Li Kuo felt a little empty when he heard the news, but in the end, he only smiled bitterly.

After saying goodbye and returning that day, Li Kuo chatted with Li Hai for a long time.

After saying a lot, Li Kuo asked Li Hai, “Brother, do you think I can travel around like Miss Zhao?”

Li Hai only smiled faintly and replied calmly, “Second brother, you only see the surface of the martial world. Do you know the bandit-killing hero, the Yang family’s Escort Agency, who came to the city and caused a commotion? Actually, things aren’t that simple. The people from the Yang family’s Escort Agency said that Miss Zhao’s martial arts skills are extraordinary. Even if she faced those bandits alone, she could retreat unscathed.”

“In this world, martial arts are the most indispensable. If there’s a chance, I’ll let you obtain benefits. However, don’t mess around now. You’ve grown up. You didn’t rebel in the past. Give up on this thought now.”

Li Hai’s seemingly joking words dispelled Li Kuo’s thoughts.

Big Brother was right. Traveling the world was not suitable for him. Miss Zhao was destined to be the moon hanging high in the sky. She was in the sky, and he was in the human world. He could only look up to her, but they could not travel side by side.

However, who knew the trajectory of the world? Perhaps one day, he, the human, would also become a star in the sky.

Li Kuo looked at Bu Mo and instructed calmly, “You said that Miss Zhao went to buy snacks in the end. From now on, go to that shop every day to see if there’s anything new. Buy it for me to try.”

Bu Mo moved his lips, wanting to say something, but in the end, he agreed obediently. “Okay, Young Master.”

Bu Mo thought to himself that it would be a while before his young master forgot about Miss Zhao. It was already very good that he only wanted to eat some preserved fruits and did not go on a hunger strike for Miss Zhao.

Forgetting always took a little time.

When she was traveling, Su Xiaolu put Mantis Shrimp into her space.

Although it was called traveling, it was actually not. She just rode slowly.

On the way, she walked for more than half a month before arriving at Suzhou.

She found an inn to stay in Suzhou. Suzhou was also very prosperous. After Su Xiaolu stayed for two days, she fell in love with Suzhou. She bought some things in Suzhou and wrote a letter saying that she would not go back for the new year this year. She found an Escort Agency to send the things away. Su Xiaolu went straight to a temple in Suzhou.

Hongyue Monastery was also an old friend of her Master’s. The abbot was already very old and warmly welcomed Su Xiaolu. Su Xiaolu stayed in the temple, ate vegetarian food, and practiced her swordsmanship.

The monks’ staff techniques were also very special. Su Xiaolu would watch them when they were practicing together.

After watching for a few days, Su Xiaolu could also see some tricks. Their staff techniques would be weaker when separated, but as long as more than two disciples were compatible and complemented each other, it would be different. Therefore, the disciples practiced together in pairs, complementing each other.

“Su girl, you’ve been watching for so long. Are you interested in competing with our disciples?” The old abbot smiled kindly. His white beard reached his chest. He stroked his beard with anticipation.

Su Xiaolu smiled and nodded. “Alright, I have the same intention. Senior Brothers, please enlighten me.”

“Hahaha, they can’t be your Senior Brothers. In terms of seniority, many disciples have to call you Auntie. Divine doctor Wu only has you as his disciple, but I’m different,” the old abbot said with a smile.
