Quick Transmigration: Finding a Successor for a Sect in JX3

Despite Hong Fei's elaborate thoughts, it was only a matter of a moment. Remembering Xue Bing's question and knowing Xue Bing was one of Red Shoes's people, perhaps she could find the so-called Granny Gongsun through her. Hong Fei sweetly replied, "Hello, Sister Xue Bing. I'm all alone right now. I don't know where my master is."

"Oh, you're all alone! How old are you this year?" Xue Bing asked again.

"I'm five years old this year." Hongfei thought her body looked only five or six years old. The younger you are, the more reassuring people are, and the less guarded they are. So you say you're five years old.

"Five years old? Isn't it dangerous for you to be alone?" Although Xue Bing was a fierce woman in the Legend of Lu Xiaofeng, she wouldn't have any designs on a five-year-old girl. Hearing Hong Fei say that she was alone without any adults around, Xue Bing felt a little worried about her. She also remembered that Hong Fei had just said she didn't know how she got there.

He asked Hongfei, "Little girl, do you know where your home is?"

When Hongfei heard Xue Bing ask this, she thought, "Is he asking where my home is? Does he want to send me back?" But Hongfei had only just arrived in this world. Where is her home?

"What should I do!" Hongfei thought anxiously. Then it dawned on her: "I want to find Aunt Gongsun, right? Why don't I use this opportunity to get Lu Xiaofeng to help me find her? After all, there's no one in Lu Xiaofeng's world he can't find. That's it!" Thinking this, Hongfei rubbed her eyes until they were red and swollen. Tears welled up in her eyes, threatening to spill. With those red eyes, she looked at Lu Xiaofeng and Xue Bing, and said in a tearful voice, "I only know my home is called Yiyinglou. But I don't know where it is. Master said that if I can't find my way home, I can go find someone named Gongsun Lan. If I find her, I can go home." Then she burst into tears.

Lu Xiaofeng and Xue Bing were stunned to see Hong Fei crying. Wait, why is this child crying? Lu Xiaofeng frantically tried to comfort Hong Fei, gently coaxing, "Don't cry, don't cry. What's wrong? Tell your brother Lu Xiaofeng, I'll help you, okay?" Xue Bing nodded in agreement, saying, "Yes, yes, yes, let Lu Xiaofeng help you. I'll help you too."

“I miss home, I miss my master and my senior sisters. But I can’t find my home, and I can’t find that Gongsun Lan either. I don’t even know where she is.” Hong Fei continued to cry.

Upon hearing Hong Fei's words, Lu Xiaofeng hurriedly said, "As long as you don't cry, your brother Lu Xiaofeng will help you find it, okay? There's nothing in this world that I, Lu Xiaofeng, can't find." Lu Xiaofeng said confidently.

Hearing Lu Xiaofeng say that, Hongfei felt reassured. She slowly asked, sobbing, "Really?"

Lu Xiaofeng was now filled with regret. What a damned curiosity he'd had! Why had he been so curious about this little girl's light-footed skills? Now he'd gotten himself into trouble. Regardless of his thoughts, he still replied, "Of course, I, Lu Xiaofeng, keep my word."

Hongfei then stopped crying and smiled, a sweet smile appearing on her tear-streaked face.

"Thank you, Brother Lu Xiaofeng!"

Just as Lu Xiaofeng was about to say something more, he was interrupted by the waiter who brought over the dishes.

"Sir, your meal is ready." The waiter quickly placed the food on the table in front of Hongfei. "Please enjoy your meal, sir."

The waiter then looked at Lu Xiaofeng and Xue Bing across from him. He asked, "What would you two like to order?"

Hong Fei glanced at the food in front of her, then at Lu Xiaofeng and the others. Because Lu Xiaohong and the others hadn't arrived, Hong Fei had only ordered enough for herself. Adding Lu Xiaofeng and the others would definitely not be enough. Lu Xiaofeng and the others noticed this and said to the waiter, "Bring us a portion of all the good wine and dishes you have."

When the waiter heard Lu Xiaofeng and the others say this, he replied, "Alright, sir, please wait a moment." Then he turned around and went back into the kitchen.

Hong Fei looked at the food in front of her, then at Lu Xiaofeng and the others, unsure of what to do. She couldn't very well eat alone while they watched. But she was going to be hungry if she didn't eat. Just as Hong Fei was wondering what to do, the waiter brought over the food and wine that Lu Xiaofeng and the others had ordered, and Hong Fei silently breathed a sigh of relief.

After the waiter set out the food, Hong Fei and Lu Xiaofeng began to eat. Because Hong Fei was there, Lu Xiaofeng and the others didn't drink much alcohol.

After finishing their meal, Lu Xiaofeng looked at Hongfei and felt a headache coming on. He was currently investigating the case of the Embroidered Bandit. It would be dangerous for Hongfei to stay with him, and it wouldn't be convenient for him either. After all, Hongfei was only a five-year-old girl. Lu Xiaofeng thought for a moment and decided it would be better to leave Hongfei with his good friend Hua Manlou. Hua Manlou was gentle and kind-hearted. Hongfei could receive proper care from him. So he said to Hongfei, "Little Hongfei, your brother Xiaofeng has things to do and it's inconvenient for me to take you with me. I'll take you to stay with a very good brother first, and I'll come back to pick you up after I'm done and help you find Gongsun Lan, okay?"

Hongfei looked down at her small body and sighed inwardly. She looked only five years old. She knew from watching the Legend of Lu Xiaofeng that he was a wandering rogue, and it was indeed inconvenient to have her traveling around with him. She decided to follow Lu Xiaofeng's arrangements for now, and deal with finding a successor later. After thinking it through, she said to Lu Xiaofeng, "Okay, Brother Lu Xiaofeng, I will be a good boy and wait for you to come and get me."

Lu Xiaofeng thought to himself that he and Hua Manlou had only parted ways not long ago at Master Bitter Gourd's place. He wondered if Hua Manlou had returned to Baihualou yet. Having no other choice, he decided to go to Baihualou first. So he called the waiter, paid the fare, and, along with Xue Bing and Hong Fei, boarded the carriage and headed towards Hua Manlou's Baihualou.

That day, Lu Xiaofeng's carriage finally arrived at the Hundred Flowers Pavilion of Hua Manlou. Upon reaching the pavilion, he saw Hua Manlou watering flowers upstairs. Lu Xiaofeng was delighted to see Hua Manlou at home; he had never taken care of a child before. Although Hongfei was very obedient, having a small child with him was truly inconvenient.

Lu Xiaofeng brought the carriage to a stop and used his lightness skill to instantly arrive at the second floor of the Hundred Flowers Pavilion.

Hua Manlou was watering his flowers in his small building when he suddenly heard a carriage stop in front of it. Then he heard someone using light-footed skills to ascend to the second floor; judging from the voice, it was Lu Xiaofeng. Strange, wasn't Lu Xiaofeng investigating the Embroidered Flower Bandit case? How did he end up here? And he even called a carriage, and judging from the sound of the carriage arriving, there should be someone inside. Interesting!

"Lu Xiaofeng, what brings you here? Have you finished investigating your case?" Hua Manlou said jokingly.

"I haven't finished investigating yet. That's why I need your help with something," Lu Xiaofeng said, ignoring the teasing in Hua Manlou's tone, as he walked over to the chair next to the table and sat down.

"Oh, is there anything I can help you with?" Hua Manlou put down the watering can, walked to the table, and sat down in a chair. He poured two cups of tea, took one for himself, and handed the other to Lu Xiaofeng.

Lu Xiaofeng picked up his teacup, took a sip, and was about to speak when Hua Manlou heard footsteps coming up the stairs. The footsteps sounded like two people, one tall and one short.
