Knowing that it was this man who saved her in a moment of crisis, Le Yao Yao, feeling shy, couldn't help but cast a grateful glance at the man in white and sincerely thanked him.
"Thank you, sir, for your timely rescue. If it weren't for you, I would surely have fallen beneath the hooves of the horse."
"Haha, it was just a small effort on my part. No need to mention it. I have matters to attend to, so I will take my leave!"
With that, the man in white turned and walked away without a hint of reluctance.
His flowing garments, graceful figure, and elegant demeanor resembled Xu Zhimo's famous line about waving goodbye without taking a single cloud with him...
"Hey..."
Seeing this, Le Yao Yao couldn't help but stand on her tiptoes and call out, but unfortunately, the man in white moved quickly and vanished into the vast sea of people in the blink of an eye.
A wave of disappointment surged within her as she lowered her head and murmured to herself.
"He left so fast; I didn't even get to ask his name!"
After saying this, Le Yao Yao thought for a moment—what difference would it make even if she knew his name?
They were merely strangers who had crossed paths; perhaps they would never meet again.
What a pity! She hadn't even had the chance to properly thank him for saving her life!
As she was lost in thought, Little Muzi had already been anxiously sizing up Le Yao Yao from head to toe. Only after confirming that Le Yao Yao was unharmed did the tension in her heart finally ease.
Letting out a heavy sigh, Little Muzi patted her racing heart, still shaken by the earlier incident.
"Thank goodness you’re alright, Xiaoyaozi! You have no idea how scared I was just now! Fortunately, when the carriage was about to hit you, that White-Clad Young Master suddenly appeared. You don’t know how impressive he was; he just reached out and effortlessly pulled you away. Otherwise, you would be…”
At the end of her sentence, Little Muzi suddenly realized what she had said. Her face turned pale, and she quickly spat a few times as if trying to ward off bad luck.
“Xiaoyaozi, let’s go back home!”
Thinking back on what had just happened, Little Muzi still felt uneasy and decided it was best to return home.
Upon hearing this, Le Yao Yao was naturally reluctant.
“Oh come on, Little Muzi! I’m perfectly fine; I was just startled! It’s still early, so let’s go explore a bit more! Besides, I’m hungry now. Let’s grab something to eat before heading back!”
As Le Yao Yao patted her flat stomach, her small mouth also formed a pout. The sight was both adorable and pitiful; even the hardest-hearted man would feel his resolve weaken, let alone Little Muzi.
Seeing this, Little Muzi could only nod helplessly in agreement.
With that, Le Yao Yao immediately broke into a smile and took Little Muzi's hand as they headed toward the inn ahead.
The delicious aroma wafting from the inn they had passed earlier had already made her mouth water. She wondered how many dishes she could order with the couple of silver coins she had.
However, now that she was starving, she didn't care about anything else and pulled Little Muzi toward the inn ahead.
"Joyful Inn? Hehe, what an interesting name for an inn!"
Looking at the sign hanging in front of the inn, Le Yao Yao couldn't help but smile as she read it aloud, and Yingying chuckled.
This Celestial Yuan Dynasty, although a fictional era in history, had characters that were quite similar to ancient traditional Chinese characters. So generally speaking, Le Yao Yao could still understand them.
For this, Le Yao Yao felt secretly relieved; at least after arriving here, she wouldn't be illiterate!
