In the end, it was Jun Xin who couldnât take this heavy atmosphere anymore and broke the silence by asking casually, âYou know that black-clothed man from earlier?â
âI donât really know him. Iâve only met him once, but he seems very familiar.â
âThen thereâs no need to mind him. As long as he doesnât harm you, itâs fine. As for Nangong Yan, itâs best if you donât compete with her too much so that she doesnât get the idea of trying to injure you again. Sheâs the biological granddaughter of the Wind Cloud Island Master, so even Baili Yu doesnât dare to do anything to her. If you want to get revenge, itâs best if you borrow someone elseâs hand to do it.â
âHumph! For a noblemanâs revenge, ten years is not too late! Iâll make her pay sooner or later!â Tang Doudou rubbed her nose. âLetâs head back first. Su Yi, that old brat is definitely furious that I ran off.â
Jun Xin lowered his eyes slightly and swallowed back his words again. As he watched her lively figure leave, he suddenly called out, âTang Doudou!â
âEh?â Jun Xinâs abrupt call of âTang Doudouâ made her momentarily confused. After all, she had gotten used to being called âLi Xueyiâ so being called âTang Doudouâ was disorientating. She turned around and asked, âAre you calling me?â
âEn.â
âWhat else do you want to say?â In reality, she still had questions to ask as well. Now that Jun Xin had called her to a stop, she had to take advantage of this chance. Who could guarantee that he wouldnât change his mind later?
Jun Xin nodded. âMing Mengxin is my original name. After I was brought to Wind Cloud Island by Master, my name was changed to Jun Xin.â
When he saw Tang Doudou open her mouth, he said with a smile, âSince youâre already used to calling me Jun Xin, thereâs no need to change your way of address.â
âHehe, thatâs was exactly what I was thinkingâ¦â
âI lived on Wind Cloud Island for about eleven years, then left to see the world and gain experience. The reputation of Blood Fiend Jun Xin started to spread during that time. During those years, I went to a lot of places and saw a lot of things. Then, I finally found information on who I am.â
As he slowly recounted these events, a bit of turbulence appeared in his clear almond eyes. âI also found out about many hidden secrets, and joined God Firmament Hall and became a Saint Envoy of the Saint Tribes.â
âThe Seven Great Saint Tribesâ Saint Envoy?â These words caused Tang Doudou great shock. Her eyes widened in disbelief. âBut you, youâ¦â
âIâm a descendant of the Seven Great Saint Tribes. After becoming a Saint Envoy, I found out from researching in their book repository that I am from the Wind Tribe. However, I didnât tell anyone about it. In the Saint Tribes, Saint Envoys had much more power than the descendants, and also had much more freedom.â
âMany years passed again. While I was investigating the Seven Great Saint Tribesâ secrets, I discovered an even more important secret and at the same time also became the alleged Hall Master of the God Firmament Hall.â (Basically, in public they call him that, but itâs not necessarily true.)
âIt couldnât be that God Firmament Hall still has some other Hall Master? What secrets were you investigating? You know my grandpa, could it be that heâs also someone of the Saint Tribes? Am Iâ¦â
âDonât overthink things. I only got to know your grandpa through the Master of Wind Cloud Island. It has nothing to do with the Saint Tribes. Other than the fact that youâve been poisoned with Disseminating Tassel Fragrance and hence will be raised to become a blood source, you have no connection at all to the Seven Great Saint Tribes.â
However, Tang Doudou saw that his gaze flickered as he said this. It was clear that he was still keeping something from her.
âIt couldnât be that youâre just saying this in order to console me?â
Jun Xin had finished saying most of the important things that he wanted to say, so he returned to his usual casual manner. Curling his lips disdainfully, he said, âWho would have the time to bother to try and console you? Iâm simply putting out the facts!â
âHowever, thereâs still one more important matter that I have to tell you about. Su Yiâs motives when he agreed to shelter you back then werenât simple, so itâs best if you stay on guard around him. He acts carefree and casual, but you shouldnât be fooled. When he was young, the entire world called had called Cloud City the Devilâs City.â
âDevilâs City?â
âBecause a devil lived in it, obviously! You really are dumb!â Jun Xin rapped her head. âAiy, now that I think about it, Iâm the only one with pure motives, everyone else all harbor secret motives. If you hadnât lost your memories, thereâd probably be a lot of people that want to kill you. Itâs just a pity that nowâ¦â
âWhat youâre saying is that people wanting to kill me is a good thing?â Although she spoke about it lightly, she knew that everything Jun Xin said was true. If it wasnât, she wouldnât have transmigrated into this world and the real Li Xueyi wouldnât have gone to report to the underworld at such a young age.
