Chapter 573: This Girl She's So Stupid!_1

The mysterious man cast a glance at Baili Xia, but that was it.

He promptly diverted his gaze.

As usual, he said nothing.

Baili Xia figured he won’t answer her questions.

However, she felt better tonight, at least now she did.

So, she spoke more.

“You never talk, and you won’t tell me your name.

I always have to call out ‘hey,’ which feels awkward.”

“What if I call you Master?”

The mysterious man maintained his silence, but his disdain at being called ‘Master’ was apparent.

Understandably so.

Who in this day and age likes being addressed as ‘Master’?

“But I can’t keep calling out ‘hey,’ all the time.”

Baili Xia was a bit at a loss.

Continually shouting ‘hey’ at someone is just crude.

She hoped to learn skills from him in the future.

“Are you really unwilling to tell me your name?”

She blinked at him, yet, he chose not to speak.

Baili Xia twiddled her fingers, racking her brains for a while then suddenly looked up at him: “So… how about I call you Wu Ming?”

Wu Ming…

The mysterious man’s gaze deepened.

Even though he was still silent, it was evident that he was less unyielding.

Baili Xia stared at him incessantly, still waiting for his response.

Finally, the mysterious man nodded.

A mere name tag, Wu Ming…

It indeed sounded better than ‘hey.’

Baili Xia was overjoyed.

Even if it was just a codename, it felt as though she had moved closer to calling him ‘Master.’

“Wu Ming, will you come tomorrow night? I will make you a tasty late-night snack, okay?”

There’s a saying, ‘the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach.’

Of course, she doesn’t want his heart or anything.

But, being treated to food softens people.

If he eats the food she prepares, she can justifiably learn his martial arts.

How wonderful!

The girl quickened her pace, and her cheerful figure caught Wu Ming’s eye, lighting up his gaze as well.

For a moment, even the stars couldn’t outshine the brilliance of his deep, dark eyes.

Such a pity, the girl walking ahead couldn’t see his beautiful eyes.

Wu Ming…

Has this girl been influenced too much by martial arts dramas?

Finally, it was time to leave.

Baili Xia called her little white horse.

But Bai stopped when Wu Ming walked over, not daring to get too close.

“Coward, I thought you were only afraid of Uncle!”

Baili Xia patted the horse’s head, wanting to roll her eyes at it.

Being such a scaredy-cat, how utterly useless!

Bai gave a small neigh in protest.

It wasn’t a coward, its owner was just too dumb!

Unfortunately, Bai couldn’t talk.

Otherwise, it would have informed its owner just how dumb she was!

Baili Xia rode bait away.

As she mounted the horse, her nimble movements even surprised Wu Ming.

Only after Baili Xia and Bai had disappeared into the distance did Wu Ming head towards a sightseeing car in the distance.

As soon as he got on, his phone rang.

He answered the call.

From the other end, a familiar voice came through.

“The person has been found and is planning to leave by boat tonight.”

Wu Ming remained silent.

The man, who had never spoken in front of Baili Xia, was finally speaking after two seconds of silence.

“Find them a cruise ship.”

The man on the other end was a bit confused, “You want to… let them go?”

Wu Ming remained silent, and the man immediately became anxious.

If Baili Xia had been the one to answer the phone, she would have recognized the man on the other end as Ye Hua.

Ye Hua gripped his phone tightly, responding seriously in low a tone, “…Yes, Mr. Xiaojiu.”
