âThis is Baili Yuâs hair!â Tang Doudou jumped up and got closer to examine the hair in Jun Xinâs palm. âWhere did you get this?â
This was Baili Yuâs hair? Jun Xin furrowed his brows and asked gently, âHow do you know that this is Baili Yuâs hair?â
How could she possibly mistake it?
âItâs definitely his! Thereâs no mistake!â Tang Doudou was confident. Then she looked at Jun Xin and asked, âWho gave it to you?â
âMu Ye,â replied Jun Xin.
âHim?â Tang Doudou then recalled that she had found the red string in Mu Yeâs possession. It seemed that he had found it after it had snapped.
âHe said that as long as I showed this to you, you wouldnât want to go to Cerulean Mountain anymore and that youâd know what this meant.â Jun Xin observed her reaction carefully as he asked, âDo you understand what this means?â
Tang Doudou carefully pinched those strands of hair and closed her fist around it. Mu Ye had brought this hair here and said those words, was he trying to tell her that Baili Yu was still alive?
When her thoughts arrived here, her heart started pounding with hope. She looked up and asked, âWhereâs Mu Ye?â
Jun Xin spread out his arms. âHow would I know? He left right after saying those things.â
âHe left?â Tang Doudou didnât find it surprising since this sounded like his personality. After he said what he had come to say, he wouldnât waste time sticking around.
âThen for the time being, letâs not go to Cerulean Mountain.â Tang Doudou put those strands of hair away, then said to Jun Xin, âI want to find Mu Ye.â
She wanted to look for Mu Ye instead of Baili Yu?
Jun Xin smiled suggestively. âYou and Mu Ye?â
Tang Doudou glowered at him. âDonât make things up. I only want to ask him about Baili Yu.â
âWait, you can go, I wonât stop you.â Jun Xin reached out and picked a leaf out of her hair. âBut, take me with you.â
âBrat, donât worry, Iâm already alright, I wonât get depressed again. Trust me?â Tang Doudou pushed his hand aside.
âI trust you ah.â Jun Xin lifted his brows playfully. âIâm just bored from staying here for so long and wanted play outside with you.â
âIâm not going there to play.â
âI donât care, are you bringing me or not?â Jun Xin stretched lazily.
If, back when she was unconscious, he hadnât faked Baili Yuâs voice to whisper those sweet nothings to her, perhaps she still wouldâve been able to think of this guy as a younger brother. However, nowâ¦
Whenever she was alone with him, she would feel extremely awkward.
In the past, she had felt that although Jun Xin was a little tsundere, he had a refreshing and straightforward personality.
It was only later that she slowly realized that this brat was actually quite devish and extremely cunning. However, he didnât like to scheme.
Jun Xinâs dissociative personality disorder was really severe.
âIf you want to follow, then just follow. Iâm fine as long as you donât cause me trouble!â Even if she didnât agree, heâd probably follow her secretly. Rather than go through that futile struggle and piss him off, she might as well agree.
This way, perhaps heâd end up in a good mood and help her.
As she had expected, as soon as she agreed, Jun Xin gave a bright smile and said, âI promise not to cause trouble.â
She wanted to get answers from Mu Ye right away, so she didnât allow Jun Xin to prepare anything and headed for Dream Mountain right after telling Baili Yiling that they were leaving.
Back then, when Mu Ye left, he said that he would bury her father at Dream Mountain, so she decided to test her luck and head there.
Who asked for Mu Yeâs whereabouts to always be so mysterious?
It was unlikely for them to find him in the Demonic Sect. According to the report of a scout, it had been several months since Mu Ye had last returned to the Demonic Sect.
It seemed that this Demonic Sect Leader was quite like her, this martial arts Alliance Head. They were both very unreliable.
After leaving Plum Garden and getting to the gates of Huai City, Tang Doudou spotted Bai Feiyun in the crowd and hastily pulled on her reins.
âStinkinâ woman? What is it?â
âLittle brat, look, isnât that Xiao Bai?â Tang Doudou lifted her brows towards Jun Xin.
For the sake of convenience, she was dressed as a male. She was wearing a white garment and her black hair was pulled up into a simple bun that was held in place with a white jade hair crown. She looked exactly like the way she did when he had first met her.
Thus, he spaced out a little when she turned to lift her brows at him. He only returned to his senses when she waved her hand in front of him. Then he said slowly, âOh, it is him.â
He glanced at Tang Doudou with puzzlement, âWhy?â
âLetâs go kidnap him.â After she said that, she squeezed her horseâs sides to direct it towards the side of the road, then jumped off and tied the horse to a nearby tree before following after the white figure in the crowd.
Jun Xin hastily left his horse at the side as well to follow her. âHey, hey, donât do anything rash!â
âDonât worry, I know what Iâm doing!â Tang Doudou laughed craftily. âI just want to get one thing cleared up, and trouble him to unseal my inner strength.â
âSpeaking of which, what exactly happened with your inner strength? Why did it suddenly increase so much? Have you never wondered about it?â
Tang Doudou laughed. âWould I be able to figure it out just by thinking about it?â
âMy inner strength has always been unreliable, Iâm already used to it. As long as itâs not going to cause me trouble, why waste time worrying about it?â
âYou sure have an open mind.â Jun Xin hadnât expected to get this kind of answer.
âLetâs go before he runs off.â
âIf you wanted to see him, you can just look for him in Bai Courtyard or the Alliance Head Residence. What need is there for you to follow him sneakily like this?â
Tang Doudou laughed. âHehe, donât you know? If we were in Bai Courtyard or the Alliance Head Residence, would I dare to kidnap him?â
âHaâ¦â Jun Xin laughed and walked with her into a small alley.
