âSince Sister-in-Law has agreed, then cooperate with Yiling, alright? If Big Brother finds out, Yiling has done all of this for Big Brother and Sister-in-Law, so⦠donât let Big Brother punish me, alright?â
Had she planned all of this from the start? It was clear that Yiling had wanted to do this but was afraid that Baili Yu would get angry at her and punish her, that was why she had dragged her into it.
And Yiling had planned out things perfectly so that she would agree. Although she had agreed against her will earlier, Yiling probably wouldâve gotten her to agree even without that trick.
âThen Yiling will unseal your movements now and then weâll secretly go help Big Brother!â
As she spoke, she unsealed Tang Doudouâs pressure points.
âTell me your plan first, otherwise Iâll leave by myself and wonât ever go back to look for Baili Yu.â Tang Doudou knew that if she was going to stay with Baili Yiling, this little fox, she had to take the initiative to seize the upper hand. Otherwise, it was very possible for her to be trolled and sold out mercilessly.
Baili Yiling curved her eyes in amusement. It seemed she hadnât expected Tang Doudou to suddenly become smart and even try to threaten her.
It seemed that this sister-in-law of hers knew more than to just act cute!
âWhat? You wonât agree? Then Iâm leaving!â
âAiyah, Sister-in-Law, donât be so impatient!â Baili Yiling hastily grabbed Tang Doudou and said, âYiling will tell you, alright?â
âThen start.â
âThis is quite a long story, so why donât we walk as I tell you?â
When Baili Yiling pulled her inside, she was walking really fast so they couldnât even see the light from outside anymore. However, they could still faintly hear the sounds of battle coming from outside. The disturbance was very loud, so Tang Doudou couldnât help but worry about Baili Yu.
âThen first tell me what weâre doing.â
Baili Yiling smiled. âOf course weâre going to dig through Lan Jiaâs place to find something that can help Big Brother.â
What would Lan Jia have that could help Baili Yu?
âWith Big Brotherâs skill in martial arts, even if Lan Jia was ten times stronger than he usually was, he still wouldnât be a match for Big Brother, so we donât need to worry about Big Brotherâs safety right now. Rather than hang around, we should take advantage of this chance to search Lan Jiaâs hidden rooms for the antidotes to the Hoarfrost Poison and Disseminating Tassel Fragrance!â
Baili Yilingâs words gave Tang Doudou a pleasant surprise. âYouâre saying that Lan Jia has the antidote to the Hoarfrost Poison?â
âOf course! This poison was something he had brought out from that strange place. For the sake of cultivating this sort of poison blood, he killed so many people of his own blood and flesh and caused the deaths of countless innocents⦠Even if we canât find the antidote in the hidden room, we should still destroy the method to produce poison blood in order to save future generations from this fate!â Baili Yiling spat these words between gritted teeth. It was clear that she hated Lan Jia from the bottom of her heart.
âItâs just a shame that although I learned a lot of useful tricks over the years, Iâm not good at martial arts. Otherwise, Iâd personally kill Lan Jia, that bastard and avenge Mother!â
âSo I have no choice but to allow Big Brother to do it. However⦠heâs still Big Brotherâs father! Will Big Brother really have to kill his own fatherâ¦â
If Baili Yu really did, he would probably have to endure the pain for the rest of his lifeâ¦
It was no wonder he insisted on her leaving.
He probably didnât want her to see his pain and weakness.
He wanted to endure all the pain by himself and was only willing to show her a comforting and warm smile.
âSister-in-Law, donât worry. Big Brother, He- Heâs already used to it.â
âYiling, when did he find you? Why does it feel like you know each other really well?â If she wanted to get to know Baili Yuâs true feelings, she had to do it slowly, and start with the people by his side. She wanted to share all his emotions, not just his shield of a smile.
Baili Yiling said, âHe didnât find me, I was the one that found him!â
âAfter Big Brother came to Cerulean Mountain, I started thinking of ways to approach him. I helped him cure the grub poison that Lan Jia had planted on him, then brought him to the stone room Mother had stayed in before she diedâ¦â
âYou seem very familiar with Cerulean Mountain. Could it be that youâve been here this entire time?â
âThatâs right. That year, after Madame Qing brought me to Cerulean Mountain, Grandpa Gui switch me with another girl. I stayed in Cerulean Mountain and Grandpa Gui sent Lan Jiaâs daughter to Wind Cloud Island, thus completing the task Lan Jia had given him.â
Tang Doudou never expected for there to be so many twists in this matter. She had really been too sheltered to actually have been unaware of all of this.
She rubbed her thumb ring. She wasnât Li Xueyi, so she couldnât help but wonder how much Li Xueyi had been able to find out.
It was no wonder that Li Xueyi had been collecting the Green Bone Phoenix Lamps. She had probably found out that her birth parents were involved with the Saint Tribes. In addition, who exactly was that black-clothed person? And Lan Jia had brought up the Xuanyuan bloodlineâ¦
Wasnât he talking about her? She was the descendant of the Xuanyuan Saint Tribe!? Tang Doudou was stunned by this thought. If that really was the case, it made a lot of other things fall into place.
âWeâre here!â Just as Tang Doudou was sinking into her thoughts, she heard Baili Yilingâs happy exclamation. âIâve stayed in Cerulean Mountain for many years. I would go around exploring all the secret passages in Cerulean Mountain with the map that Grandpa Gui had given me to familiarize myself with the area. As of now, I can find my way through these passages even with my eyes closed. It was also after I became familiar with this place that I found the stone room that Mother stayed in when she was still alive⦠which is also Lan Jiaâs secret room.â
After she finished speaking, she turned the corner and they arrived in the stone room they were in earlier.
Baili Yilingâs expression now turned tense. âBe careful, that dumb bug is still there. No matter what, we canât startle it.â
