Of course, there was no way Tang Doudou would tell him how she knew. Since releasing that inner strength didnât carry any benefits, then she had asked all that she wanted to know.
She rubbed her chin, then looked towards Jun Xin. âLittle brat, how do you undo the seal?â
âThereâs no need to. Itâll be released on its own after an hour. Letâs just leave him here to think things through.â Jun Xin had been very suspicious of Bai Feiyun since earlier. After Bai Feiyun had poisoned him, that suspicion only got worse.
Tang Doudou nodded. âAlright, then letâs go?â
Jun Xin didnât even take one last glance at Bai Feiyun before walking out. Tang Doudou stood up and glanced back at Bai Feiyun sadly. âXiao Bai, actually, I didnât want to ruin our relationship this way eitherâ¦â
As she shook her head, she left as well.
âXueyi, I said before that I wouldnât forget, but youâre no longer you anymore.â Bai Feiyunâs eyes were filled with disappointment and frustration as he softly murmured this. Tang Doudou was walking away, so she only heard the first part of that sentence.
âJun Xin, donât run so fast!â Tang Doudou ran to catch up with Jun Xin. âWhy do you seem angry?â
âIâm not.â Although he said that, his expression betrayed him.
However, since he wasnât willing to say, Tang Doudou knew that pressing him would be no use. Thus, she stopped asking and just walked silently back to the street to get their horses, then head out of the city.
They pressed the horses forward and finally managed to make it to Dream Mountain right before the sun set.
Dream Mountain wasnât very far away from Huai City and was a very scenic mountain. A lot of sons from wealthy families liked to sightsee here. Thus, although the sky was darkening, there were still a lot of people around.
There were quite a few shops at the foot of the mountain. They were in a tight row and made a line of bright lights.
Jun Xin pulled on the reins. âLetâs just rest here for tonight, then search for Mu Yeâs whereabouts tomorrow.â
Tang Doudou nodded and jumped off the horse.
The innâs waiter had sharp eyes. When he saw that two men with unusual aura had gotten off their horses in the distance, he immediately went up to them.
âSirs, do you two need an inn?â
âEn, we need two high quality rooms, do you have them?â asked Tang Doudou.
The waiter hastily nodded. âThere is, there is! Guests, please come this way.â
âWait!â Just as the waiter was about to take the reins from Tang Doudouâs hands, Jun Xin interrupted and said, âJust one room is enough. We donât need two.â
Two high quality rooms costs about a half more than one high quality room. Upon losing the chance at that extra income, the waiterâs smile faded a little. These two didnât look poor, so why?
And they were two adult men, yet they wanted only one room. Their looks were also quite good, especially the looks of that little guy dressed in white; he looked delicate and tender. Could it be that they had that sort of relationship?
The waiter was making all sorts of guesses, but on the surface, he asked with a polite smile, âGuests only want one room? Thereâs not a lot of land on Dream Mountain so though theyâre high quality rooms, they arenât very largeâ¦â
âThen letâs go with two room!â interjected Tang Doudou before she handed the reins to the waiter. âHelp me feed the horse.â
After she said that, she started heading towards the inn. The waiter hastily shouted, âTwo high quality rooms!â
Another waiter inside the inn then led Tang Doudou upstairs.
Upon seeing that, Jun Xin had no choice but to throw his reins to that waiter as well. âBring some food up.â
âAh, understood!â The waiter bowed as he replied.
After they got to the room and the waiter left, Jun Xin asked with a frown, âWhy did you ask for two rooms?â
âSo that weâd each have one!â Tang Doudou rolled her eyes. This brat was so dirty-minded, to try to take advantage of her and stay in the same room as her as soon as they headed out. For a man and a woman to stay together by themselves, it was tooâ¦
Jun Xin seemed to know what she was thinking as he curled his lips in disdain. âHey, this young master isnât trying to take advantage of you, I was just thinking that itâs probably not safe for you to stay by yourself since you have no sense of danger at all.â
âEnough, how could this place not be safe?â Tang Doudou swung open her paper fan as she continued, âLittle brat, men and women should not touch hands, you know this logic, right?â
âI donât.â Jun Xin glanced at her paper fan. âWhere did it come from?â
Tang Doudou lifted her hand. âOh, the waiter from earlier gave it to me. Itâs hot, so itâll come in handy.â
Jun Xinâs gaze turned serious. âWait!â
âWhat?â
âGive me the fan.â
When Tang Doudou saw his serious manner, her heart jumped. Could it be that thereâs a problem with this fan?
She immediately threw the fan to Jun Xin and looked around the room apprehensive before whispering, âJun Xin, t-this, itâs not a black inn, right?â
However, Jun Xin just took the fan and started fanning himself with it. Revealing a smirk, he said, âHehe, I donât know whether itâs a black inn or not, but thanks for the fan.â
Fudge!
Tang Doudouâs facial color turned black. This stinkinâ brat actually swindled away her fan!
âIf you agree to sharing the same room as me, Iâll fan you tonight for free. How about that?â Jun Xin drew closer with a smirk that made Tang Doudou want to punch him.
