Chapter 21: Counterattack From a Dangerous Position (1/2)

Elder Yu carefully caught all the little movements exchanged between Tang Doudou and Bai Feiyun.

He sneered in his heart. At that moment, when Tang Doudou drank that cup of wine laced with Tendons Softening Powder, he had already sent someone to acquire the Alliance Head Command Tablet. Now, he’d like to see where Bai Feiyun would shake out an Alliance Head Command Tablet from. If he couldn’t bring it out, then don’t blame him for being vicious and merciless!

Originally, he wanted to directly poison Li Xueyi and completely get rid of him, but Godly Doctor Cang Baicao was currently present in Cloud City. If it were to be discovered by any chance, and if the Lord of Cloud City held him accountable, he’d have to accompany Li Xueyi to the grave. They might even dig out the private transactions he had with the Demonic Sect, therefore he only sent someone to disguise as one of the girls of Rutaceae Pavilion and take the Alliance Head Command Tablet. Whether he could be beaten or not, there was still the plan. Even if Li Xueyi escaped from Mu Ye’s demonic hands, if he wasn’t able to take out the Alliance Head Command Tablet, he still can’t ascend the Alliance Head position. At the same time, he could also conveniently influence the status Bai Feiyun had in the Jianghu negatively.

Although the plan was perfect, developments will always have twists and turns. However, in the end, it will still return to within his grasp. Everything will go toward the results he wishes for, so the earlier displeasure had already become of little importance.

Pondering to this point, Elder Yu’s bunched up brows finally relaxed. As long as he was able to get rid of Li Xueyi, then he could have someone to expose even more ugly matters related to Li Xueyi and Cloud City. Henceforth if Cloud City wants to control the Martial Arts Circles once again, it would be difficult!

Using some more methods later on, won’t this Alliance Head position still become an item within his pocket?

He had waited for many years already, so he didn’t care about this small amount of time.

Bai Feiyun already knew that Elder Yu had been scheming for a long time. Originally, he didn’t want to push out Li Xueyi this soon either, but it’s all that guy’s fault for insisting on saying that the dried fruits he had personally mixed tasted bad. He even disdainfully said that those dried fruits didn’t deserve to be called the signature specialty of Rutaceae Pavilion. In a moment of irritation, he called him by his identity. Otherwise, he would’ve just waited a little longer and allowed Elder Yu to reveal his true nature before jumping out and taking advantage of Elder Yu’s panic to take control of the situation and introduce the person. At that time, whether he had the Alliance Head Command Tablet or not, it wouldn’t have mattered anymore.

Yet, things had broken away from his control. After Li Xueyi was thrown out, he immediately provoked Elder Yu and even climbed to such a high place, attracting everyone’s attention. Wasn’t this just self induced embarrassment?

He even thought that guy had some means to respond, looks like he overestimated him.

Besides, talking about Tang Doudou, how could she possibly know how complicated this time period was? She thought that as long as she stood up, this Alliance Head position was hers to sit on!

Da fudge she actually needs some Alliance Head Command Tablet before she can take the position?!

It’s seriously fraud! It sounds nice, Alliance Head da ren*, commander of the Jianghu, roaring big talk! In actuality, it’s a poor pressured waiter that has to clock in and out of work ah!

“da ren” Sir/Madam. A suffix used for an official or a person in authority.

Wasn’t the Alliance Head Command Tablet precisely akin to a worker’s card?

In the past, she hadn’t brought her worker card and ended up acting cute in front of her company. Just by dropping her moral principles, she was able to mingle her way in and make up for it next time.

This time, she didn’t bring the Alliance Head Command Tablet, but could she also use the same tricks?

Smack!

She slapped this unrealistic idea flying with a palm. Tang Doudou supported her head with her hand. Heavens my lord, shouldn’t you use something to rescue poor little Beanbeans?

On the tall stage, she could see everyone’s hopeful gazes with just a single glance. Seeing this, Tang Doudou started to regret.

For what reason did she climb so high, when she had nothing to do?

“Why isn’t the Alliance Head saying anything? Where’s the Alliance Head Command Tablet? It couldn’t be that the Alliance Head forgot to bring it, right?” Elder Yu’s grating voice once again sounded. The corners of his mouth tilted, almost unable to hang up the pleased expression over his entire face.

Seeing this, Tang Doudou’s teeth itched ah! Teeth itch!

This old SOB, she’ll sort him out sooner or later!

Tang Doudou’s heart sank. Seeing that Bai Feiyun’s face was also showing panic, she realized that she could only rely on herself to think of a solution right now.

Either admit that the Alliance Head Command Tablet was lost, or refuse to admit that she forget the Alliance Head Command Tablet to the grave.

Tang Doudou unhurriedly got up as she slightly controlled the expression in her eyes, she even dusted off her front lapel before she lifted her head. When she looked down and faced the entire audience, her expression had already returned to normal.

“Elder Yu is surely joking, how could ben zuo forget to bring such an important item?”

“Oh, is that right? Then why is Alliance Head so reluctant to take out the Alliance Head Command Tablet?” Elder Yu narrowed his eyes into a curve. He didn’t think that Li Xueyi would still hold on even when things had developed to such a point. He saw Bai Feiyun’s helpless expression, it was clear that the mountains and rivers were exhausted, they had reached the end of the line and still refused to admit it. He really couldn’t help but be forced to give admiration, this person’s face sure is thick enough!

“Elder Yu is joking again. Why must I take out the Alliance Head Command Tablet?” Tang Doudou casted a sidelong glance at Elder Yu. He himself had also said that the Alliance Head Command Tablet was only used when commanding Jianghu, didn’t he?

Starting this martial arts convention, everyone was just here to gossip, pat butts and chat idly, what’s the use of a command tablet? It wasn’t like they were immediately going to gather people to subjugate the Demonic Sect’s old nest!

This Elder Yu simply wanted to make it so she had no way of being the Alliance Head! He had forgotten though, even though he didn’t want it in his heart, but in practice every word he said recognized her position as Alliance Head. Since he’d already recognized it, the only option he had was to use his own palm to slap himself and say that she, Tang Doudou, was not Alliance Head, not Li Xueyi. Otherwise, this mouthful of Jinkela*, even if he, Elder Yu must hold in his tears, he must finish eating!

Jinkela is a chemical fertilizer additive brand a strong local flavor. They invited foreign actors to shoot some ridiculous patriotic video to advertise so it ended up being mocked a lot on the internet.

The moment Tang Doudou said this, Elder Yu’s facial color slightly changed. He wasn’t dumb, since Tang Doudou was able to think of it, he naturally was also able realize it!

This time, it really was lifting up a rock to smash on his own foot!

But he wasn’t one to be fooled easily, and immediately said: “As I’ve already mentioned to Bai gongzi just now, since Alliance Head had just arrived, not knowing the customs of martial arts conventions is also quite normal.”

“Then may I venture to ask Elder Yu, who exactly was it that laid down this custom?”

“Naturally it was…” Elder Yu had just begun to reply when his facial colour sank downwards again.
