Chapter 207 . 1: She Ran


 
“Heh, it was actually that brat . Why did he dress himself up like that for no reason?” Su Yi’s voice was puzzled .

Although Tang Doudou heard, she couldn’t quite process it as she stared stunned at the both familiar, yet also unfamiliar person in front of her .

Though the person had the same appearance, his temperament was completely different . She couldn’t accept the fact that Ming Mengxin was Jun Xin and even considered whether if Ming Mengxin was actually Jun Xin’s twin brother .

After all, that was the case with Bai Feiyun and Gu Xun .

Jun Xin and Baili Yu could sense her questioning gaze even without looking in her direction .

Baili Yu glanced at the mask on the ground before slowly lifting his eyes again . “You’ve already thought things through . The reason why you haven’t looked for me before is because you were waiting for today, isn’t that so?”

“You and I grew up together . I can’t compare with you on many fronts, but there’s one area in which you will never be able to surpass me . ” Jun Xin’s expression was very calm . His black hair lifted gently even though there was no wind and the lamp lit up with a faint blue light as it floated up and hovered above his hand . “Let’s fight! It’s been a long time since we’ve exchanged blows . It’s already been ten years since the last time, hasn’t it?”

Their exchange was very baffling . Tang Doudou wasn’t the only one puzzled; everyone present couldn’t make head or tails of it either . First, the Hall Master of God Firmament Hall, Ming Mengxin had become Blood Fiend Jun Xin, now there was this exchange . Not a single person could understand what was going on .

Nangong Yan was included . She was undoubtedly the one most shocked . Her large eyes were filled with astonishment as she looked at Jun Xin .

She, Jun Xin, and Baili Yu all grew up on Wind Cloud Island, and they all knew each other pretty well . She knew Jun Xin especially well . He was just a rude and impetuous, forever immature brat; when had he become so reserved and unreadable?

In addition, wasn’t that lamp something of the Seven Great Saint Tribes?

That was a taboo object of Wind Cloud Island, so how come Jun Xin dared to bring it out in public? Wasn’t he worried that Master would find out and punish him?

“You remember it quite clearly . ” Baili Yu smiled but didn’t show any intention to fight with him . “Since you’ve already made the decision, it doesn’t matter whether we fight or not . If you want to fight with me, it’ll have to be another day . ”

After he finished speaking, he added pointedly, “Another day, when you’re in a better mood . ”

One actually needed to wait until one was in a good mood before challenging someone to a fight?

Everyone was truly enlightened by Baili Yu’s way of doing things .

What was unexpected was that Jun Xin actually didn’t persist either . He put away the lamp and said, “Alright . ”

“Then, right now, do you plan to go or to stay?” asked Baili Yu .

“Stay . ”

“That’s also good . ”

Then it was over!

The two started walking towards Su Yi and Tang Doudou, one behind the other . Su Yi was speechless when he saw this . What the heck? They had made the atmosphere so serious earlier, yet after a few sentences, decided not to fight anymore?

As for Tang Doudou, she was still stuck on the fact that Ming Mengxin was Jun Xin . Su Yi couldn’t help but sigh . Not even he was able to understand, so there was no way this girl would be able to .

“Girl, stop dazing out . They’ve already walked over, so why not just ask them directly?” Su Yi patted Tang Doudou’s shoulder .

Tang Doudou looked at him blankly . “Then are we continuing with this matchmaking competition?”

“What’s there to continue? It’s all been messed up by that little fox again . It’s seriously angering me to death!” It would have been better if this hadn’t been brought up because it immediately angered Su Yi to the point his eyes almost rolled back .

Tang Doudou retrieved her gaze, feeling slightly embarrassed, without looking at the two people that were walking this way . She couldn’t really bring herself to look at them and her heart for some reason felt very vexed .

However, Baili Yu and Jun Xin were unperturbed . Of course, this was only on the surface . If someone had looked carefully at Jun Xin’s eyes, he would be able to see that there were all sorts of complicated emotions swirling around . Perhaps the person himself didn’t even know about some of the emotions he was experiencing .

The closer the two got, the more nervous Tang Doudou became . The worst thing was she didn’t even know why she was nervous . Her gaze was wandering flusteredly over the crowd when she suddenly saw that figure again!

This time, that person didn’t immediately leave but made a ‘follow me’ gesture towards her . Tang Doudou knitted her brows as a trace of hesitation flashed through her eyes . However, she didn’t hesitate long before she stood up .

Without bothering to look at the two that were almost here, she strode over Su Yi who was completely stunned and hastily ran off the stage towards the distance . In the blink of an eye, she was gone .

Things had happened too suddenly . The three men only came back to their senses in the midst of the crowd’s uproar when she had disappeared from sight .

At the same time, they were also completely confused . What was she running for?

Su Yi abruptly stood up and made to follow her . Currently, Cloud City was filled with both fish and dragons; there were all sorts of people here . As of now, she couldn’t use inner strength . She wouldn’t even be able to use qinggong to escape, much less fight!

If she really encountered danger, it was quite possible that she would be killed off ah!

“I’ll go!” Jun Xin stopped Su Yi . He glanced at the rowdy crowd below the stage, then looked towards Baili Yu . “I owe her an explanation . If I don’t explain myself now, I might never have another chance . ”

Baili Yu didn’t even think before he replied, “Go . ”

However, Su Yi refused to accept it . “Humph! It’s not your turn yet to mind my disciple!”

“Then you’re going to leave this many people here without minding them?” Baili Yu looked towards Su Yi with a smile that didn’t quite seem like a smile . He straightened out his clothing and flicked off the petals that had landed on it . “City Lord Su, it seems that it has been a while since we’ve compared notes as well, hasn’t it?”

At some unknown time, the sky had become filled with flower petals that were lightly spilling down .

“Fine fine fine! You win!” Su Yi finally sat back down . However, he was already secretly scheming up a way to use Tang Doudou to sort out this hateful brat .

“Thanks . ” Jun Xin nodded towards Baili Yu before his figure became a shadow and disappeared .

This strange martial arts movement once again evoked Su Yi’s curiosity . “What kind of martial arts is that really?”

“It’s not martial arts,” replied Baili Yu .

“Then what is it?”

“You want to know?”

That tone, which contained a hint of amusement, was filled with calculations . Su Yi shivered from a sudden chill . “I don’t!”

If it came to it, he would just have his disciple go find out and come back to tell him!

Chapter 207 . 2: She Ran
 
At this time, the person Su Yi was thinking about had already run into a small alley outside of the plaza . She had come here following after that black-clothed man . As she was running, she recalled who this person was . Wasn’t he the person that had given her the small lamp before in Mist City?

She had been in too much of a rush last time and he was also wearing black, so she hadn’t gotten a clear look at him . That was why when she saw him earlier, all that she felt was that he seemed a little familiar .

The black-clothed man’s qinggong was still pretty much the same as last time . It wasn’t very fast . Although she didn’t use qinggong, due to the fact he would purposefully pause from time to time, she was still able to keep up .

After heading forward for a while, they soon got to the end of the alley . When Tang Doudou saw that black-clothed man nimbly jump up on the wall, she immediately felt like crying but didn’t have the tears . Still, she attempted to climb the wall . It was to no avail, however, since Cloud City’s walls were generally very tall . After failing a couple times, she couldn’t stop herself from cursing!

“Fudge! Why insist on choosing a small alley out of all the routes he could have taken!? It’s enough that he chose a small alley, but now he insists on jumping over the wall!?” Tang Doudou rubbed her butt as she cursed . “Humph! Who cares who you are! This big sis won’t accompany you anymore!”

After she finished speaking, she turned to leave, only to see that black-clothed man appear barely a step away in front of her . If it weren’t for the fact that she had immediately stopped, she would have crashed into his chest .

“Y-you, why are you back?” stammered Tang Doudou as she subconsciously retreated backward only to find that behind her were hard bricks .

That person didn’t speak and just stared at her .

Tang Doudou’s hair started to stand on end from being stared at . Last time this person had still acted quite normal and immediately stated his reason for looking for her after he came, so how come he was acting so strange this time?

Could it be that he intended to harm her!?

Crap! She had left too hastily earlier and hadn’t thought about this possibility at all . The only thing she had been thinking was that he might have come here to talk to her about the other components .

Last time he had talked about remuneration . It couldn’t be that due to her taking Li Xueyi’s place and not giving him remuneration after getting the item, he had decided to kill her? The reason he led her here was to kill her in order to vent his anger?

Reality showed that she was completely groping in the wrong direction . The person didn’t have this intention at all .

The black-clothed man took a step towards her, then lifted her and threw her over the wall .

Tang Doudou was already flying through the air before she had come back to her senses . She shouted, a beat late, “Hey, hey! Can’t you be a little gentler? I’ll fall to my death!”

Right after she finished speaking, she started to fall . The black-clothed man leaped onto the wall and caught Tang Doudou . After jumping over a few roofs, they arrived at the mountain behind Cloud City .

“What business do you have? Just say it here!” When Tang Doudou saw that he was about to bring her into the mountains, she hastily stopped him . Su Yi once mentioned to her that there were a lot of restricted areas in the back mountain . He warned that death was inevitable once one entered, so she shouldn’t casually visit the back mountain .

The black-clothed man didn’t speak . He stopped at the foot of the mountain but didn’t let Tang Doudou down .

Eh?

When Tang Doudou saw that he didn’t intend to let her down, she subconsciously looked at him . Just as she was about to tell him to let her go, she suddenly had a familiar feeling as if she had once been carried in his arms like this before!

She was shocked by her own feeling . Her face turned pale . “You, we know each other, don’t we?”

After what happened with Jun Xin, Tang Doudou was seriously scared that this person would also be someone she knew . She peeked at his black veil, then gulped . Should she try pulling it off?

But wouldn’t it be terrible if he turned out to be a stranger?

The fact that he covered his face definitely meant that he didn’t want people to know what he looked like . If she found out, he might kill to silence her . When Tang Doudou’s thoughts got to this point, she hastily threw out the idea and said, “Um, can you put me down?”

After she said that, she felt the black-clothed man’s body stiffen, then he rigidly set her down, seeming a little embarrassed .

Afterward, he stood there without a word like a block of wood .

Tang Doudou couldn’t help but become bewildered . Could it be that he wasn’t planning to give her something this time? Then what was he here for? Only to check out the excitement like the rest of the people?

“Have you found the rest of the parts?” That was all she could ask .

The black-clothed man’s gaze seemed to change a little and he replied hoarsely, “No . ”

“Not a single one?”

“En . ”

He was really here just to check out the excitement ah! Tang Doudou didn’t know whether to laugh or cry . “Then why were you looking for me?”

“You were very nervous . ”

The f*ck!?

Upon hearing this, Tang Doudou couldn’t help but have a whole new level of respect for him . He had actually been able to sense that she was nervous from that far away?

She looked at the person again . The more she looked, the more she got the feeling that she knew him . Narrowing her eyes slightly, she asked, “You knew that I wanted to leave the stage? That’s why you had me follow you?”

The black-clothed man also looked at her . He looked at her for a long time before a single word jumped out from his lips, “Yes!”

Tang Doudou’s expression immediately turned strange . “Who exactly are you? Do we know each other?”

“We don’t!” The black-clothed man’s tone was very firm, abnormally firm .
