Douluo Continent: With my extraordinary comprehension, I want to be a salted fish.

Chapter 57 Men's mouths are all lies.

Sitting in the carriage, Guangling heard the Imperial Guard captain report that the little thing had run away again.

He immediately stepped out of the carriage and saw, not far ahead, the little girl riding away on the horse he had bought for her.

Guangling leaped onto a nearby horse in a flash, and with a "Giddy up!", galloped off to catch up!

The captain of the Imperial Guard immediately jumped onto his horse and led five of his guards in pursuit.

Before Qian Renxue entered the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, she guessed that the little girl would run away and that the Fifth Elder would definitely chase after her.

Therefore, she instructed him to bring a few people with him, because Qian Renxue was afraid that the Fifth Master would act recklessly!

Xin Ya ran towards the forest behind the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

She had checked the map navigation last night and knew that there was a large forest behind the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and there would be a relatively fast-flowing river after passing through the forest.

After crossing the small river, you will reach the province of Fasno, which borders the Kingdom of Barak.

It was a straight road, and also the shortest, but ordinary people wouldn't go through the forest.

Because the river was too turbulent to cross by boat, it was a piece of cake for a Soul Master!

Therefore, Xin Ya decisively chose the route with the shortest straight distance.

At this moment, the little girl urged her mare, Ada, to run quickly through the forest, but at the same time she also noticed the sound of hooves chasing after them.

Ning Rongrong sat on the horse behind Xin Ya.

She turned her head and looked back, and saw a handsome man with silver hair wearing a black cloak chasing after her.

Ning Rongrong excitedly patted Xin Ya: "Xiao Ya, the man chasing after us is so handsome!"

"Stop being a fangirl!"

Xin Ya rolled her eyes. As she urged Ada to run, she asked, "Besides him, who else is chasing us?"

Ning Rongrong said, "There are also six Imperial Guards, one of whom is the one who was talking to you just now."

"Xiaoya, who exactly is that silver-haired man? Is he also one of the Crown Prince's men?"

Xin Ya pursed her lips and didn't answer Ning Rongrong's question. Instead, she said to the mare, "Ada, run faster! Let's not let him catch up."

The mare, Ada, was very intelligent and never needed to be whipped; she would do whatever she was told.

At this moment, Ada let out a neigh and suddenly accelerated.

Guangling, who was chasing behind, noticed that the horse was speeding up.

He exclaimed: "As expected of our Spirit Hall's warhorses, their speed is truly astonishing!"

Moreover, the mare he bought and gave to Xin Ya was one of the best warhorses!

If he weren't an elder, the military wouldn't have been willing to sell it to him.

Now look what's happened! The horse he bought with Soul Coins has become her tool to escape from him!

What a heartless little thing!

Guangling called after her, "Xiaoya, can we talk?"

Xin Ya turned her head to look at him, but ignored him.

She didn't want to talk to him!

You stinky man!

You big bad guy!!

The little thing ignored him, and Guangling felt helpless, so he could only continue chasing after it.

At this moment, a relatively rapid stream appeared not far ahead below, with a wide surface and deep water.

The horse definitely couldn't cross it, much less run across it!

Guangling called out anxiously, "Xiaoya, stop running! I won't chase you anymore. Let's stop here, okay?"

Xin Ya still ignored him and continued to urge Ada to run forward.

Ning Rongrong, who was sitting behind her, immediately became nervous. She thought to herself: Could it be that Xiaoya is being chased so desperately that she is planning to jump into the river?

Miss Ning swallowed hard. "Xiaoya, I can't swim, and I'm just a support-type Soul Master, unlike you who's a battle-type Soul Master. You should think about me!"

Xin Ya smiled and said, "Didn't I tell you yesterday? If you encounter any danger, I will definitely protect you. After all, you paid soul coins to hire me."

"Oh right." Ning Rongrong realized, "I almost forgot about that."

Xin Ya said, "So just hold on tight to me and don't fall down, trust me about the rest!"

"Okay, I absolutely believe you!"

Ning Rongrong immediately hugged Xin Ya tightly, closed her eyes, and decided not to look anymore to avoid being scared. Meanwhile, Guang Ling continued chasing after them.

At this moment, seeing that Xin Ya was not only urging the horse to not stop at all, but instead heading straight for the river, he panicked!

"Xiaoya, I beg you, please stop right now."

"It doesn't matter whether you forgive me or not, you can hit me or yell at me all you want, just please stop!"

Xin Ya still ignored him.

Guangling tried to go around to intercept her, but Ada's warhorse was too powerful. His horse was just an ordinary horse and couldn't catch up with Ada at all!

He didn't dare use his soul skill to stop her, for fear of hurting Xin Ya!

As Shenya approached the rocky bank of the stream, Guangling's heart clenched.

Just then, the little girl summoned her martial spirit and shouted, "Third spirit skill, Sword Shadow Shuttle!"

In an instant, the divine sword transformed into a gigantic physical sword shadow, and Xin Ya shouted to the mare, "Ada, jump on!"

The horse neighed again, leaped into the air, and landed on the giant sword shadow.

At this moment, Xin Ya channeled her soul power, causing the enormous sword shadow to surge forward.

With a whoosh, the man and horse instantly transformed into a blur and flew towards the other side of the river.

The speed was so fast that only a blur of the sword's body remained!

Five seconds later, when they reappeared, they had reached the other side of the river!

Guangling and the six Imperial Guards chasing behind them were all stunned when they saw this scene!

"Whoa—"

After they drove the horses to the rocky bank of the stream, they pulled them all to a stop.

Guangling looked at Xinya, who had already appeared on the other side of the river, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

This little thing's third soul skill is really amazing!

He stretched out his icy wings, trying to fly across to the other side.

Xin Ya raised her divine sword, pointed it at Guang Ling on the opposite bank, and warned, "You're not allowed to chase me anymore! Or I'll really hit you!"

Although it was a warning, the little girl's words sounded aggrieved and soft.

The aggrieved tone in that voice made Guangling hesitate to fly over for the time being.

He sat back on his horse and coaxed softly, "Would it calm you down if I let you hit me?"

"cannot!"

Xin Ya immediately retorted, "Hitting me won't appease you; I'll still run away."

Guangling looked at the little girl on the other side of the river. "Then I promise I won't bully you anymore, and I won't keep you trapped anymore. Can you come back now?"

Xin Ya sheathed her divine sword, bit her lip, and placed her hands on her slender waist.

The little girl retorted angrily, "Men's words are all lies! I don't believe them! If I believed you, pigs could fly!"

The little girl's words not only made Guang Ling both amused and exasperated, but also made Ning Rongrong and the six Imperial Guards on the other side of the river burst into laughter.

Guangling laughed and said, "I don't know if those pigs can climb trees, but I'm really not lying to you."

"And you said I bullied you, and you just ran away without coming back to get revenge. Don't you feel like you're losing out?"

"I'm right here. Come on over and you can hit me or yell at me all you want!"

The man patiently coaxed the young girl across from him.

"You big bad guy~ You're trying to trick me again, I'm not falling for it!"

The little girl said with a pitiful look, "I'm telling you, if you dare to chase after me again, I'll never talk to you again!"

Guangling compromised, saying, "Fine, I won't chase after them, but tell me where you plan to go next?"

"I'm just coming to see you. I won't bother you until you've calmed down, okay?"

The little girl scoffed, "Don't even think about it! I'm not telling you where I am!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she pulled on the reins, and the mare, Ada, turned her head and ran away from the rocky riverbank.

Guangling really wanted to chase after him, but she was also afraid of pushing that little guy too far, and that he would really never talk to her again.

A sigh.

Helpless, he could only watch as Xin Ya left on the other side of the river.
