Tang Doudou pulled Jun Xin to her room, then stared down the person that followed them. She gave him a firm warning. โI wonโt go out, so give me some distance. Otherwiseโฆโ
That person retreated to the perimeter of the courtyard with a whoosh.
He was still quite obedient!
Tang Doudou nodded, rather satisfied, as she softly closed the door.
When she turned around, she saw that Jun Xin was staring at her with a strange expression. She rubbed her face. โWhat is it? Is there something on my face?โ
Jun Xin lowered his eyes without saying anything.
It tickled her curiosity and she was just about to ask more when Jun Xin lifted his head again. His expression was a little embarrassed, which baffled Tang Doudou even more.
โLilโโฆ Jun Xin, are you alright?โ She was about to say lilโ brat but was taken aback by Jun Xinโs scary glare. She walked over gingerly. How come Jun Xin felt a little off this time?
โStop acting like a little thief. If you have something to say then hurry up and come out with it.โ He seriously didnโt know whether to remark that she was too slow or too naive at the fact that she only started to put up her guard now.
If he really was a bad person, he would have kidnapped her right at the door. Why would he have waited until he got into the room?
Moreover, he couldnโt stay here long. If it werenโt for the fact that he couldnโt suppress his longing for her anymore, why would he come to Cloud City despite the risk of having his identity discovered? He didnโt even take the time to drink a sip of water before rushing impatiently to the City Lord Residence to look for her.
Of course, he had only dared to knock after he saw Su Yi leave.
What he asked was what Tang Doudou was about to say. Thus, she condensed what happened in the past two months as quickly as possible. After she finished speaking, she asked, โWas my Disseminating Tassel Fragrance cured by the Black Demonic Nightcrawlerโs heart?โ
After Jun Xin listened to all of this, he didnโt show much reaction on the surface but inwardly it was as if something had exploded.
Tang Doudou wasnโt clear on the entire situation so she didnโt link a lot of the events, but he knew about them all!
However, he didnโt tell her about it and simply asked, โWhat do you personally think?โ
If she knew, then would she still be this vexed? โWhat else could I think ah? Right now my headโs like paste, I canโt even think straight.โ
Jun Xin didnโt continue asking. His gaze landed on her lower abdomen. โHas your injury gotten better?โ
โEn. Xiao Bai said that as long as I donโt use inner strength, Iโll probably be fully healed within half a year.โ If this had been the modern era, she probably would have been able to jump around as she pleased by now, right?
That long? It seemed that the injury was not as light as she was making it out to be. At the very least it had probably been a mortal wound.
When Jun Xinโs thoughts got to that point, a trace of ferociousness flashed through his eyes. His tone was no longer as nonchalant as before. โSu Yi hasnโt found the perpetrator yet?โ
There were rules in Cloud City that prohibited casually injuring people. Moreover, she was the Young City Lord. How could Su Yi possibly let off someone that injured her?
Tang Doudou also found it strange. โI already told Su Yi the name of the perpetrator so logically speaking he should have already found her! But every time I ask him about it, he would try to change the topic. Could it be that he canโt afford to offend that person?โ
โName? What name?โ Jun Xin locked on to the main point in her words. As long as he found out who that person was, he would be able to understand the reason behind Su Yiโs actions.
โNangong Yan!โ Whenever this woman was brought up Tang Doudou would feel so angry her teeth itched. When the thought that the girl had been allowed to live free and unfettered for so long after what she did, Tang Doudou became even more furious!
The proverbs put it well, if you wanted something done well, do it yourself!
Su Yi refused to help her get revenge, so she would go get it herself!
โNangong Yan?โ Jun Xinโs expression turned strange after he heard this name.
The moment Tang Doudou saw, she knew that this was an opportunity!
She hastily asked, โYou know her?โ
Jun Xin snapped back to his senses. It was too late to cover up now so he could only nod. โI do.โ
โWah! I just knew that youโre the most amazing!โ Tang Doudou bounced up, her eyes sparkling with excitement. โWho exactly is she? Whatโs her background? You have no idea how arrogant she was!โ
โWith her status, she truly does have the power to be arrogant.โ Jun Xin glanced at Tang Doudou, his eyes flickering with hesitation as he considered whether to tell her or not.
โWhat? Her background is actually that amazing?โ When Tang Doudou heard the helplessness in Jun Xinโs tone, she became apprehensive. No wonder Su Yi kept putting off making a move. So the opponent really was difficult to deal with!
Jun Xin didnโt reply to her words and instead stood up. โIโll go investigate what happened first. Iโll come back and tell you after I get results.โ
โDonโt go yet! Canโt you do that after you tell me about her background?โ It hadnโt been easy for her to find out a little more. She didnโt want to have to stay up all night wondering about this clue again.
Jun Xinโs resolve weakened a bit when he saw her pitiful expression but he forced himself to be resolute. โIf I tell you about it now, it would just harm you. You should stop thinking about it. At most, itโll only be another two or three days before you can find out about the whole story. Yuner came with me this time and I left him alone in the inn so itโs about time for me to head back and check on him.โ
At the very end, Jun Xin couldnโt think of any other idea, so he used Yunerโs name.
Tang Doudou was surprised to hear that Yuner had also come here. โHow could he possibly be here with you? Wasnโt he waiting for San Yu in Huai City?โ
โIโve already helped him get San Yu out. As the price, he now follows me.โ
โSan Yu has been saved?โ No wonder Yuner would come with Jun Xin here. So that was why. But how did he do it? Tang Doudou wanted to ask about it but Jun Xin had already pushed open the door and left.
As Tang Doudou watched him walk away, she had a feeling that a lot of things were fishy, but she couldnโt figure out what parts exactly were strange.
