When Tang Doudou heard this familiar voice, she was so moved she almost jumped on him. âOld brat!â
Bonk!
She was smacked on the head.
âWhat has Baili Yu been teaching you? Youâve only left with him for a short time, yet youâve lost all sense of respect already!?â Su Yi glowered at Tang Doudou with disappointment. âThis daddy crossed thousands of miles to come here to save you, but this is the way you greet me?â
Tang Doudou gave an awkward smile as she said, âHaha, I was just a little too excited and happy to see you, Master. My emotions just went out of control a little, haha.â
âHumph! Iâll sort you out once we get back!â said Su Yi.
âThen shouldnât Master first deal with Lan Jia?â Tang Doudou glanced at Su Yiâs current unfamiliar features and asked, âMaster, are you wearing a human skin mask?â
âEn.â Su Yi pulled off the mask. âLan Jia saw me before a long time ago, so I wore this to avoid being recognized in order to catch him off guard.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
After he said that, he looked towards Lan Jia again. âBrat, Iâm sure you already know why Iâm here. The sooner you hand that thing over to me, the sooner youâll get me off your hands. As soon as I get it, Iâll leave right away with my disciple. I donât care about your immortality pill or your desire to cultivate, so I wonât meddle!â
âHumph! You think you can come and go as you please? Su Yi, arenât you looking down on my Saint Tribes a little too much!?â Lan Jia humphed coldly as he walked over with his hands folded behind his back. âSu Yi, I respect you as my senior, so I wonât make things difficult for you. However, you shouldnât try to make things difficult for me either!â
âSo youâre saying you refuse?â
âIsnât that unfilial son of mine very strong as well? He always thought of himself as the best in the world, but didnât he also die by my hands? It couldnât be that you think your martial arts is better than his? Youâd be lucky to escape alive from my territory. You want to save someone while at it? Humph! You have no chance!â Lan Jia spoke coldly. There was not even a trace of emotional distress visible when he talked about how he killed his own son. He was truly cold-blooded!
After Su Yi heard his attempt at intimidation, he put on an expression of fear and cried out mockingly, âAiyah, disciple, did you hear that? Someoneâs saying that heâll kill me⦠Iâm so scared ohâ¦â
However, Lan Jia had just said that he killed Baili Yu, so how could Tang Doudou still have the heart to carry on a joke?
She grabbed Su Yi and said, âMaster, he even killed his own son. Itâs clear that heâs deranged. As the model of justice for the martial arts community, if you donât kill him, youâd be letting down your impressive fame as Lord Su of Cloud City!â
âUhâ¦â Su Yi glanced at Tang Doudou. Back then, the title he carried was devil, when did it turn into âmodel of justiceâ? He had no interest in being some model of righteousness. People that did that were all pedantic old jerks!
Tang Doudouâs eyes reddened and her nose started stinging. âHe kill your son-in-law and bullied your disciple! He even dared to threaten you and look down on you! Could it be that you can tolerate that?â
Su Yi patted her shoulder and said with a heartfelt sigh, âDisciple, donât be angry. Master will definitely make them pay for everything theyâve done to you.â
Tang Doudou looked at him gratefully.
However, he then continued solemnly, âThereâs a saying that goes, ten years is not too late for a nobleman to take revenge. For now, you should leave with Master. Once thereâs a good opportunity, weâll come back again and find this bastard for revenge, alright?â
Tang Doudou: â¦
âHumph, if you wonât, Iâll do it myself!â After giving a cold humph, Tang Doudou shoved Su Yi aside to head towards Lan Jia.
Su Yi had undone Baili Yilingâs seal, so at this time, she hastily grabbed Tang Doudou and stopped her. âSister-in-Law, City Lord Su is right. As long as the mountain is still green, thereâs no need to fear running out of firewood. I also want to kill Lan Jia right now to satisfy my hatred! Sister-in-Law, I hate him enough to torture him until his blood runs dry, but Iâve already waited many years, so a little longer doesnât matter! In addition, if we rush up now, itâd just be throwing our lives awayâ¦â
Tang Doudou, of course, understood this reasoning, but⦠She took in Baili Yilingâs earnest expression. Baili Yiling was a good girl, she couldnât drag her downâ¦
When Baili Yiling saw that Tang Doudou seemed slightly swayed, she hastily continued, âDidnât Sister-in-Law say that if he was alive, you wanted to see him, and if he was dead, you wanted to see his corpse? Before we see Big Brotherâs corpse, it canât be confirmed that heâs dead. Even if heâs dead, we have to find his corpse and give him a proper burial!â
That was right! They still hadnât found Baili Yuâs corpse, and there was no way they could just believe Lan Jiaâs words.
He might have even said this on purpose to provoke her into rashly attacking so that they could capture her and use her to suppress Baili Yu. The more Tang Doudou thought about it, the more likely this possibility seemed. She glanced over at Su Yi.
âYouâve thought things through?â Su Yi chuckled, then rubbed his nose. âSince you have, letâs go.â
