Baili Yiling glanced over, then cried out in delight, âSister-in-Law, look! Xiao Qing is heading over there!â
Tang Doudouâs eyes also lit up with hope. âThey really can understand?â
âOf course! I told you that they werenât ordinary eagles.â Baili Yiling reached out and undid the white cloth tied around Tang Doudou. âLetâs go, Sister-in-Law.â
Tang Doudou took a few steps forward, then stopped again to turn back and glance towards the vast, seemingly borderless sea. Baili Yu, donât break your promise!
The eagle had headed towards the valley. The moment they rushed over, they heard the sound of battle.
âShhh. Sister-in-Law, see? I didnât lie to you! Itâs definitely Big Brother ahead fighting with the others. Be careful not to make any noise. We canât let Big Brother find out that weâre here!â Baili Yiling loosened a breath in relief with she heard the sounds of battle. It seemed that she had also been very anxious, but had been forcing herself to remain calm in order to reassure Tang Doudou.
âThank you, Yiling.â
âHeh, weâre a family, thereâs no need for thanks. Enough about that, letâs go around through here and check out the situation first.â Baili Yiling pointed towards the small path to the side.
Tang Doudou nodded, then reached back to touch the box. âIn a little bit, letâs try to think of a way to help the big evil spirit kill Lan Jia. Then weâll immediately bring him back to give him the antidote!â
âPerfect plan.â
âYiling, at that time, will you come with us to Huai City?â
âNo, itâs alright. Iâm already used to being in Cerulean Mountain. Although I donât particularly like this place, itâs still the place where I grew up⦠Moreover, if Lan Jia dies, the Saint Tribes will definitely collapse to chaos. I have quite a lot of friends here, I canât abandon and leave on my own.â
Tang Doudou hadnât expected for Baili Yiling to reject this offer, much less with this kind of reasoning.
She said, âWe can bring them as well! Since itâs going to be chaotic here, your older brother and I would be even more worried about you staying here.â
Baili Yiling sighed. âSister-in-Law, the Saint Tribes canât be left without a leader.â
âBut that leader canât be you.â Tang Doudou understood that Baili Yiling wanted to become the Saint Emperor in Baili Yuâs place.
However, the situation probably wasnât as simple as Baili Yiling was putting it. Still, since she wasnât willing to talk about it, Tang Doudou didnât push her either.
Tang Doudou felt that although Baili Yiling wouldnât listen to her, sheâd definitely listen to Baili Yu. Even if she didnât want to hear it from Baili Yu, she was still scared of Baili Yu. Tang Doudou decided that if it came to it, sheâd have Baili Yu use a dirty trick and force Baili Yiling to come along.
Having decided this, she felt a lot more at ease. As they walked along the small trail, they soon arrived halfway up the valley. They jumped up onto a tree near the road and parted the branches in front of them to see. Below, on an area of open space, there were two figures that were fighting closely. However, it wasnât Lan Jia and Baili Yu.
Tang Doudou, who had been extremely hopeful, almost fell from the tree in disappointment.
Baili Yiling reacted quickly and grabbed her. She whispered, âSister-in-Law, take a closer look. Isnât Big Brother right there?â
Tang Doudou hastily climbed up the tree again as she cursed at herself for being too impulsive. She glanced over in the direction Baili Yiling was looking at and saw a blood-red figure lying on the ground next to the two people that were fighting. If that wasnât Baili Yu, who else could it be?
âHeâsâ¦â
âDonât panic.â When Baili Yiling saw that Tang Doudou was getting stirred up again, she hastily covered Tang Doudouâs mouth. âBig Brother wouldnât die so easily, and after eating that so-called immortality pill, Lan Jia still needs Big Brotherâs blood to use as gathering source for the worldâs spiritual energy. He still needs Big Brother, so thereâs no way he would kill him!â
Tang Doudou furrowed her brows. âThen who is Lan Jia fighting with?â
âIt doesnât look like Shen Moruâ¦â Baili Yiling glanced at the people fighting again, then furrowed her brows. âWhere did that Shen Moru go?â
âJeje, little girls, arenât I right behind you?â Right after Baili Yiling had asked that, Shen Moruâs voice appeared behind them. The two whirled around, only to be blown back by a heavy hit.
Baili Yiling reacted quickly and shot her white silk sash out to wrap around a large tree before reaching out to grab Tang Doudou. They continued falling towards the valley, but at a much more controlled speed, so they landed steadily.
âSister-in-Law, are you alright?â
âIâm fine, how about you?â
âIâm also fineâ¦â
âBut you guys soon wonât be!â Shen Moruâs sinister voice appeared nearby and he reached the two of them in an instant.
Baili Yiling immediately stepped in front of Tang Doudou to shield her and said, âSister-in-Law, run.â
âYiling, thereâs no way Iâll leave you here!â How could she run away on her own and leave the two of them behind?
Baili Yiling stomped her foot angrily and wanted to yell at Tang Doudou to be flexible, but Shen Moru was already attacking so she had no choice but to focus on fending Shen Moru off.
Meanwhile, Lan Jia also seemed have noticed this situation. However, it seemed that his opponent was too strong as he only took one glance before he had to turn back to focus on his opponent.
Tang Doudou saw that both sides were fighting too intensely for her to be of any help, so she decided to run towards Baili Yu.
Perhaps it was because those people didnât view her as a threat, because no one stopped her and she was able to easily reach Baili Yu. She flipped the person over, but when she saw his face, she hastily moved back. This wasnât Baili Yu!
Then where was he?
Tang Doudouâs heart filled with panic again. âYiling, this person isnât your older brother!â
âWhat?â Baili Yilingâs martial arts wasnât very good, all she knew were small tricks. Although she had been able to keep up with Shen Moru thus far, there were only so many tricks.
The moment she became distracted, Shen Moru landed a blow on her shoulder and sent her flying towards Tang Doudou.
The two crashed and fell onto the person dressed in red who was lying on the ground. Following that, the person cried, âAiyoh, I get crushed even when Iâm just pretending to be a corpse? Is there any Heavenâs law?â
