He walked quickly, but behind him Tang Doudou dawdled. When she passed by Feng Wu, she sent over a gaze filled with silent bitterness. âBig Sis Feng Wuâ¦â
âYou should go. He came here to come get you.â Feng Wu said with a slight smile as she took out a brocade pouch and placed it in Tang Doudouâs palm. âIn your time of greatest need, open the pouch. I have to go back to Mist City now. You should talk to your master properly; donât make him angry again. When you encounter things, make sure to take time to think. Donât act too rashly. And come to Mist City to play when you have time.â
Tang Doudou hadnât expected that Feng Wu was about to leave and was alarmed to hear this. After last night, she had already started thinking of Feng Wu as a true older sister and as someone she could rely on, yet in the blink of an eye they were going to part again.
âIs it that urgent? Canât you stay a couple more days? Big Sister Feng Wu, Iâll miss you.â
Feng Wu shook her head. âItâs urgent, so I have to go back.â
âThere are no banquets in the world that do not end. Remember, in the future donât casually cry your eyes out anymore. Become a strong young lady!â
Although Tang Doudou really didnât want Feng Wu to leave, she knew that Feng Wu was right. There were no banquets in the world that didnât end. She didnât ask her to stay anymore and simply gave her a big hug. âEn, I will!â
Feng Wu patted her head before gently pushing her away. âYou should hurry and head out, otherwise your master will get irritated and explode again!â
Right after she spoke, the sound of Su Yiâs impatient shout came from outside. âWhat are you still dawdling for? Canât you hurry up!?â
âC-coming!â replied Tang Doudou. She waved towards Feng Wu and said, âBig Sister Feng Wu, Iâll definitely go back to visit you!â
After she finished speaking, she turned around and ran out of the courtyard.
âSheâs leaving?â Despite being completely annoyed just a moment earlier, when Su Yi saw Tang Doudou come out he hastily walked over to her and asked her.
Tang Doudou looked at him in surprise and asked, puzzled, âBig Sis Feng Wu didnât tell you?â
âSheâs the type that never discusses anything with anyone before she makes a decision. Even if itâs a matter as heavy as the sky, she insists on bearing it herself. Sheâs a stinkinâ woman who never asks for help!â
Su Yiâs tone was very annoyed but also filled with worry. However, he didnât look towards the courtyard, seeming to know that Feng Wu had already left.
He still seemed very worried though, since he glanced at Tang Doudou and said, âIâll take you to Baili Yuâs place first. The fact that sheâs rushing back to Mist City definitely means that something bad has happened.â
Following that, he looked around. When he didnât see anything out of the ordinary, he lowered his voice and said, âYesterdayâs plan managed to just barely work out due to that little foxâs cooperation. For the time being, that little fox is still your fiance.â
When Tang Doudou heard this, for some reason she felt very moved. He really was, as Feng Wu had said, worried about her suddenly running off and encountering danger. He hadnât been angry because she had almost caused his plan to fail.
Right now Su Yi didnât have the presence of mind to notice that she was moved. After briefly telling her about the earlier events, he sent her to the inn that Baili Yu was staying at.
He left a sentence of, âgo look for the little fox yourself!â then disappeared off.
âAlli-, Young City Lord?â Unexpectedly, the person who was guarding the door was Ye Chuan whom she hadnât seen in a very long time. When he saw Tang Doudou in female garments, his expression became a little unnatural.
Tang Doudou was currently quite depressed so she didnât pay attention to how strange he was acting. She asked, âWhereâs your familyâs master?â
Ye Chuan pointed towards the second floor of Propitious Clouds Inn. âMaster is resting up there. He gave instructions that if it was Young City Lord, to let you head up to find him.â
Tang Doudou suddenly recalled Jun Xin and his injury, so she asked, âDid Jun Xin come here?â
When Jun Xin was mentioned, Ye Chuanâs expression became even more unnatural. It was awkward to the point that even Tang Doudou, despite her insensitivity, noticed. âWhat is it?â
Ye Chuan lowered his gaze and tried to avoid answering the question. âYoung Master Jun doesnât live here.â
âI didnât ask about that.â She stared at Ye Chuan and discovered that his expression was very stiff. She couldnât help but be curious about the reason for it. Could it be that he had gotten into some sort of argument with Jun Xin?
Ye Chuanâs attitude towards her had improved somewhat before, but now it seemed to have return to what it was like originally.
Just as she was wondering about the reason why, Ye Chuan turned aside and said stiffly, âYoung City Lord, you had better go up yourself to ask Master about it. Ye Chuan is only a servant and knows nothing.â
After he finished speaking, he looked into the distance, ignoring Tang Doudou.
It was seriously a bit baffling ah!
Aiy, whatever. She should go find the big evil spirit first, then ask about what was going on with Ye Chuan!
She turned and started walking towards Propitious Clouds Inn. Pushing open the door, she found that the inside of the inn was cleaned up quite nicely. Originally, the lower floor was a dining hall, but all the tables and stools had been moved out of it. It was so empty â wonder if the people that stayed here would feel scared upon seeing it at night?
Tang Doudou looked towards the second floor and found that there wasnât a single person in the inn.
She quietly walked up the stairs. When she saw that there were a ton of doors in the hallway, she wanted to cry. Why didnât she ask which room he was in earlier?
How stupid!
