Empress Running Away With The Ball

ch. 135-136

Chapter 135: Sit back and wait

In her heart, it wasn't as if she wasn't feeling sadness and a sense of loss.

After all, after she had passed through into this world, other than Xiao Ru, he was the only person that gave her a warm smile.

She could see that he was genuinely good to her.

Although he didn't say a single word about it, she still knew that it was hard to get that ice flower.

The capital city was currently in springtime, so only the highest peaks far away would have ice at this time. With his excellent qinggong, for him to actually break a leg meant that it had to be a dangerous journey.

She believed that in this world, there would not be another person like him who would travel thousands of miles and risk his life climbing steep icy peaks just because of single sentence she said while she was drunk.

She also knew why he didn't appear during these past few days. It was all because he had broken his leg and it was hard for him to walk.

As soon as he could move again, he didn't even take off the splint on his legs before coming to see her, just to give her this precious gift, but she had completely turned him down!

Chen Ning already hated herself for being so emotionless, so how could Chu Shao Bai not hate her?

But only by hating her......would he forget about her faster.

They might as well treat it as if they had never met.

It was better to forget about each other than to help each other.

Chen Ning did not know that during the few days she did not leave the king's palace, there was someone turning the entire capital city upside down while searching for her.

The bustling business street was busy everyday with people coming and going. The little stall owners were calling out trying to attract the customers walking past.

Xiao Si could not even remember how many days it had been since he slept.

He didn't know whose house he was sitting in front of, but he just sat there and waited. From dawn to night, from night to dawn in a continuous cycle.

The Chen Ning master and servant pair did not appear again.

Xiao Si felt that if he kept waiting like this, he would turn into a piece of stone soon.

But he did not dare to go back.

His master had given him a strict order. Even if he had to turn the entire capital city upside down, he had to find the master and servant, but he could not disturb others.

This was simply making it difficult for him.

Xiao Si thought about it, but the only method he could think of was to sit on this street and wait!

The first day, they didn't appear!

The second day, they still hadn't appeared!

The third day, they did not appear still!

On the fourth day, Xiao Si continued to pray, but the master and servant pair still did not appear.

Xiao Si did not find Chen Ning, but there were several people that showed up that were also anxiously waiting for her

There was a man named Zhao Er Gou carrying two gifts while standing at the corner of the street waiting for Chen Ning to appear.

Several days ago, the divine fortune telling girl had read his palm for him and said that his red luan star was moving in the next three days and there would be a girl from a large family that would take the initiative to propose marriage. The result was that on the second day, someone had actually come to propose marriage. Zhao Er Gou and his blind mother was so happy that their faces were covered in giant smiles. They quickly prepared two gifts for Chen Ning, but after waiting for so long, they still hadn't seen her yet. He just anxiously scratched his ears. He asked everyone that came and told everyone that Chen Ning was an immortal descended to earth who came to tell fortunes.

While Chen Ning had been telling Zhao Er Gou's fortune, Xiao Si had not appeared yet.

At this time, he was in the crowd listening to Zhao Er Gou making Chen Ning's fortune telling seem even more wonderful. The more he heard, the more he was sucked in, but he could not stop himself.

This girl actually has a divine fortune telling ability?!

Chapter 136: Letting a golden phoenix escape

He suddenly understood a little about why his master wanted to find her.

If she really had this kind of fortune telling ability, she would definitely be able to help his master with many problems that would cause him giant headaches!

Then there was a handsome middle aged scholar that appeared, but he came in a more low key manner compared to Zhao Er Gou.

He just stood at the corner and looked around as if he was looking for someone. Not seeing the familiar fortune telling stall, he revealed a disappointed look on his face.

Xiao Si recognized him with a single glance. This middle aged scholar was the last person Chen Ning told a fortune for.

At that time, he had hesitantly mentioned he had lost something, but he did not say what it was and endured the crowd's insults.

Xiao Si remembered that he had an expression filled with sadness then, but now his brows were relaxed and his eyes were shining.

"Hey, don't go!"

The middle aged scholar had waited for a long time just to see Chen Ning not appear. After hearing the crowd say that she had not appeared in several days, he could not help sighing and turning to leave, but Xiao Si suddenly grabbed his sleeve.

"Who are you?" The middle aged scholar was stunned as he turned around, but then he saw Xiao Si whom he had never met before.

"I just want to ask something. Did you find the thing that you asked the divine fortune telling girl to find for you?" Xiao Si asked in a straightforward manner.

"I found it, I found it." The middle aged scholar nodded his head. When he heard the words "divine fortune telling girl", he could help revealing a smile on his face and his voice was filled with gratitude.

"That girl truly has a divine fortune telling ability. When she told me to drain the well in my backyard and that my item was down there, I did not fully believe her, but after draining the well, I found what I was looking for in the surface of the water. She really is my life saving benefactor! I came to personally thank that young miss, but who knows that she wouldn't have appeared in several days, ai! That miss has done a large favour for me, I really don't know how I can ever repay her."

"That really is amazing!" Xiao Si's eyes opened wide and he couldn't help asking, "What did you lose?"

"I can't say, I can't say." The scholar shook his head. Then he cupped his hands at Xiao Si and walked away.

Xiao Si stood there in a daze as he looked at the man's back, he could not describe the feeling appearing in his heart.

This girl truly is a divine being!

He suddenly felt very silly. When his master had to leave for his matters, how could he just follow after him? He should have followed that girl and found out where she lived and what origins she had.

"Pa, pa!" He raised his hand and couldn't help slapping himself twice. He scolded himself, "You stupid little boy!"

He was actually confused enough to let a golden phoenix escape!

No wonder his master punished him. Even he could not forgive himself.

Xiao Si suddenly jumped up and then patted the back of his head.

He truly was a fool, actually foolishly waiting here until he became stupid!

That little maid named Xiao Ru had called the divine fortune telling girl young miss which meant that she had to be a daughter from one of the rich families. The reason why she would run here and set up a stall by the street showed that she was using this to make a living.

Perhaps her family went bankrupt or some major changes had suddenly occurred.

To put it plainly, the girl's fortune telling stall was just a way for her to make money!

But in the end, he had followed his master's orders and had given her a small bag of golden ingots.

Now that she had that gold, would she even show herself again?

Wasn't he just completely stupid!

But there was no medicine for regret in this world. Now in this vast sea of people, how would he even find traces of that girl?

Xiao Si looked into the sky and felt completely helpless.
