Bai Luoqing of course expressed disdain in response to Feng Wuâs arrogant words. âIâm Bai Luoqing, the Head of the Bai family. Do you think youâd be able to stand the consequences of offending me?â
âPfff!â Feng Wu couldnât help but burst out laughing. This was the Head of the Bai family?
The mockery in her laughter was clear. A trace of anger flashed across Bai Luoqingâs face and she opened her hand slightly and attacked!
Feng Wu gave a cold laugh and met the attack without fear. The two soon got into a tangle and took their battle to the courtyard outside. Bai Feiyun didnât bother to try and mediate between them. With a âbang,â he closed the door.
Then he went back inside and sat down. Sounds of âboomâs and âbangâs came from outside. After a while, Cang Baicao couldnât take it anymore and went outside to yell at the two. Only then did the sounds of combat gradually become more distant until they couldnât be made out anymore.
Bai Feiyun was pretty sure that they would soon be arrested by the executive corps and dragged back to the City Lord Residence and gave a light laugh. He was just about to turn back to look at the person on the bed when he felt that something was off. He glanced over again and his glance met with those familiar, bright eyes.
âYouâre awake?â Bai Feiyun cried out in pleasant surprise.
Tang Doudou tugged out a trace of a smile and said weakly, âI was awake since earlier.âShe was pointing to the time when Bai Luoqing and Feng Wu started arguing. She had been woken up by the disturbance.
Bai Feiyun blamed himself. âI just knew that I shouldnât have let them in.â
âItâs fine. If I kept sleeping, I probably wouldâve slept to my death!â Tang Doudou closed her eyes for a moment before opening them again. âHow am I now?â
âYour recovery is going pretty well. Youâll be fine after another half a month of rest, donât worry.â Bai Feiyun got up to pour some water for her. âYouâre probably hungry, right? Iâll have someone simmer some congee for you in a bit.â
âIâm not hungry. I just want to drink a bit of water.â Even if she was hungry, she didnât dare to eat. Bai Feiyun and the others didnât know the general knowledge in regards to this area, but she knew it well. Accumulation of food in the stomach easily caused fever, so it was best to endure it for a while.
After a fever, itâs best not to eat solid food for a while and give the stomach a rest, so as not to cause inflammation and the onset of another fever. Itâs also best to drink lots of fluids to avoid dehydration. But... this isnât common knowledge. At least I didnât know about it.
When Bai Feiyun heard that she was thirsty, he carefully supported her up and fed her water until she shook her head to indicate that it was enough. Tang Doudou looked at Bai Feiyunâs swollen eyes - people who didnât know the situation would have thought he had cried - and said, âYou should go rest. Iâll be fine.â
âWhether youâre fine or not is not up for you to decide. If you donât want to sleep, then we can just talk.â Bai Feiyun put the cup down and helped her lie back down before tucking in the blankets. âDid you see who it was that injured you back then?â
âNangong Yan.â That woman was probably too conceited and thought that she would definitely die, hence why she would openly announce her name without fear that Tang Doudou would send someone after her for revenge.
Or perhaps it was that she was not afraid of people taking revenge!
Also it was unknown who exactly her Senior Brother was! Tang Doudou swore that when she found out, she definitely wouldnât let that person off!
âNangong Yan?â Bai Feiyun knitted his brows.
Tang Doudou looked up at him, surprised. âWhat is it? Do you know her?â
However, she saw Bai Feiyun shake his head. âIt just sounds familiar, but I canât quite place it.â
Tang Doudou retrieved her line of sight, a bit disappointed. Who knew where she came from if even someone like Bai Feiyun had barely heard of her.
When Bai Feiyun saw her disappointment, he consoled her. âThe City Lord has already gone to investigate this matter. With this clue from you, the perpetrator will probably be found very soon. You should just focus on recuperating without worries!â
As of right now, that was all she can do!
Although she really wanted to find the perpetrator as soon as possible, as she was right now, there was no point in talking about finding the perpetrator since she probably couldnât even walk steadily.
âThe person earlier was the Head of your Bai family?â After laying there a while, Tang Doudou still couldnât fall asleep so she opened her eyes again.
âShe is the Head of the Bai family, but not ours,â explained Bai Feiyun in a gentle voice.
It made her suddenly recall Gu Xun. âYou also have a younger brother?â
âEn, in Mist City.â
It became quiet again. Tang Doudou didnât know what she should say, and Bai Feiyun also wasnât very talkative. The two pretty much had no topics of conversation except for necessary matters.
Perhaps feeling that this silence was way too awkward, Bai Feiyun pressed his lips together, then asked, âThat time when you rushed back to the Alliance Head Residence, what did you want me to look at?â
Had he not brought it up Tang Doudou would have forgotten about the entire matter. A trace of joy flashed through her eyes but soon dimmed again. If the demonic bug heart had been effective, Shen Moru would have been able to see that the Disseminating Tassel Fragrance was no longer there and she wouldnât have the so-called poison blood. Meaning, she probably wouldâve already been killed.
Even now she still couldnât really tell if this was good or bad fortune. Perhaps it was just a combination!
Since this matter involved Jun Xin and she already knew the results of it, she had no plans to tell Bai Feiyun about it. It wasnât that she was suspicious of Bai Feiyun, but just that she had a faint feeling that itâd be best if less people knew about this.
Hence, she revealed a troubled expression and said, âI forgot.â
Bai Feiyun didnât urge her to answer. He told her to rest and headed out to check if the medicine was prepared.
