Peaceful Jianghu - Chapter 72
"Then why?" Xiao Dao continued to poke him with her finger. "It's not fair, you know everything about me!"
"Who said I know anything about you?" Xue Beifan retorted. "There are many things you haven't told me."
"Like what?"
For example... what's your waist size?
"Go to hell!" Little Knife raised his hand and punched him. "Seriously!"
"What's so serious about it?" Xue Beifan replied dismissively. "The Beihai Sect has too much to do, I'm too lazy to care about these things."
"You're lying," Xiao Dao persisted.
Xue Beifan sighed, "I'm really lazy. It's all just conflicts in the martial arts world, so annoying."
Seeing that he was stubborn, Xiao Dao thought for a moment, then leaned closer and said, "Then tell me, and I'll tell you how many inches my waist is."
"How many inches?" Xue Beifan immediately leaned closer with interest.
Xiao Dao blocked his way, "You speak first!"
"I can't explain it."
"Maybe I can understand!"
"Why are you so curious?" Xue Beifan retorted to Xiaodao, his tone tinged with a hint of probing. "Have you taken a liking to me?"
Xiao Dao raised an eyebrow and muttered, "...Curious!"
Xue Beifan sighed, and seeing that Xiao Dao still insisted on asking, his smile and helplessness faded slightly. "Simply put it?"
"Um."
Xue Beifan was silent for a moment before speaking, "I want to escape."
Xiao Dao blinked, puzzled. "Where did you escape from?"
Xue Beifan unconsciously frowned slightly, a faint look of disgust appearing on his face. "Some things that can't be explained."
Xiao Dao didn't ask any more questions.
When Xue Beifan saw that she was not speaking, he turned to look at her and saw that Xiao Dao was resting her chin on her hand, continuing to scrutinize him.
"I've already told you, but you still don't understand."
"Who said that?"
Xue Beifan was taken aback, looking at Xiao Dao in surprise, "You understand even after all this?"
"Hmm." Xiao Dao nodded with a smile. "You hate yourself, don't you?"
Xue Beifan looked embarrassed for a moment, then gave a wry smile, "I don't know what you're talking about."
"You know what I mean."
"don't know."
"Stubborn to the end."
"I've already said it, so what's your waist size?" Xue Beifan remembered the important matter.
"...Hmm, one foot six inches."
"Really?" Xue Beifan exclaimed in surprise, looking him up and down. "You must be kidding me."
"real!"
"How could that be!" Xue Beifan reached out. "I'll just hug it and I'll see. It doesn't look that thin."
Xiao Dao quickly dodged, then looked ahead and exclaimed, "Ah! Xue Er, there's a river ahead!"
Xue Beifan then realized that he had panicked and lost his composure, and hadn't been paying attention to where he was going. Now, the two horses were pulling the carriage rapidly toward the river.
"We're going to fall into the river!" Xiao Dao quickly pulled on the reins.
Seeing that it was too late, Xue Beifan raised his hand and snapped the horse's reins with a single blow, then leaped into the air with his dagger.
With a splash, the horse and carriage plunged into the river. The carriage slowly sank, and the horses broke free of their reins and swam towards the bank.
Xue Beifan landed safely on the ground with Xiao Dao. Xiao Dao was angry and was about to scold him when suddenly someone grabbed his waist.
"It's definitely two feet long!" Xue Beifan grabbed it and ran off, yelling, "Fatty!"
"You're talking nonsense!" Xiao Dao stomped his feet in anger and chased after him. "Xue Er, you stop right there! How dare you say I'm fat!"
"How about you change your name to Little Bucket?" Xue Beifan said casually as he ran, "No, Little Jar! Little Pot, Little Jar."
"You're dead!" Little Knife was furious and chased after him relentlessly.
...
"A good-for-nothing is a good-for-nothing." Fang Tongli, who was secretly following him, sneered. "I don't think he'll ever have a serious mind in his life."
Xue Xing frowned and remained silent, while Qin Ke frowned as well. She had never seen Xue Beifan like this before. Why was Xue Beifan, who was indifferent to everything, so special to that little girl? He was completely unlike the Xue Beifan she knew... or rather, she had never understood what kind of person Xue Beifan was.

【Waiting for the Flowers to Bloom】
Xiao Dao chased Xue Beifan, but eventually ran out of steam and found a teahouse to sit down and drink tea while still sulking. No sooner had he sat down than Xue Beifan shamelessly ran back. As soon as he sat down next to him, Xiao Dao grabbed his arm and gave him a good pinching. Xue Beifan grimaced for a long time before Xiao Dao finally calmed down, only to see Xue Beifan repeatedly spitting tea into his lower back. Xiao Dao quickly moved aside, glaring at him and warning—"If you look again, I'll beat you up!"
