Chapter 45: Are You Looking for Xueyi for Something? (2/2)

Hah? Tang Doudou shifted her gaze back and looked at him with confusion. Why’s he suddenly bringin’ this up? And, how’d he know those were called spicy strips? She had only said this name to Jun Xin before.

“Aren’t you tired standing?” Baili Yu asked another question.

“Not tired, standing is fine, standing is fine.” Tang Doudou rubbed her chin as she pondered how she should word her request for the Alliance Head Command Tablet.

“Has Alliance Head Li been comfortable while living in this garden?”

“Very good, very good!”

“Eating comfortably?”

“Very good, very good!”

“Feeling bored?”

“Is a little.”

I swear a freak! She didn’t look for Baili Yu just to chatter about daily life, alright?

“Baili gongzi, I wanted to ask, that um. That.. my Alliance Head Command Tablet, can you return it to me now?” Tang Doudou hummed and hawed, breaking off several times but she was finally able to string together the sentence clearly in the end.

“Alliance Head Command Tablet? Didn’t this one return it to Alliance Head Li long ago?” Baili Yu spoke with a tone of surprise.

Tang Doudou’s face turned stiff for a moment, then asked in reply: “Did Baili gongzi remember it wrong? Isn’t the Alliance Head Command Tablet still with you?”

As she spoke, she pointed to a jade tablet hanging off a certain person’s waist. The item was clearly on display there, yet he actually said he already returned it to her. It was seriously embarrassing.E/N

Those long and narrow eyes lowered and fell onto his own waist. Baili Yu gave another soft chuckle as his slender like jade fingers lightly twirled the jade tablet at his waist, “You’re talking about this?”

Tang Doudou hastily nodded. As long as she had that she could go rescue Bai Feiyun as well as get away from this hateful guy for the time being.

But unexpectedly, Baili Yu actually said: “This isn’t the Alliance Head Command Tablet.”

“Th, that, how could that not be the Alliance Head Command Tablet!” Tang Doudou glared as she strode over with large steps. Bending down as she scratched her head, her glossy water-like eyes looked again at the jade tablet in Baili Yu’s hand. Her little face was filled with puzzlement, “Wasn’t the one you gave me last time this one?”

“No.” Baili Yu narrowed his eyes, a trace of dangerous intent flashed through his eyes. But Tang Doudou who was still scrutinizing the shape of the jade tablet didn’t notice at all, the fact that the distance between the two was so little it was a bit frightening.

He was Li Xueyi, there was no mistake. But why was the feeling he gave off so strange?

And what was going on between him and Ah Xin?

After investigating for so many days there was still no information at all. This was the first time something like this happened.

So should he help him cure the Disseminating Tassel Fragrance or not?

Baili Yu’s fingers slightly moved to lift the jade tablet a bit. Who would have thought that Tang Doudou was so entranced in staring at it that she directly shifted over, following the jade tablet and almost knocked into Baili Yu’s chin.T/N2

“…” Baili Yu’s eyes slightly curved but he didn’t move his fingers away again.

That’s not right ah, this was clearly the jade tablet he gave her that day. How did it become a different one? It was too strange. Baili Yu was definitely lying to her because he doesn’t want to give it to her. This fox is too hateful. He clearly knew that she wanted to go rescue someone, yet he was still hiding and tucking it away like this.

Ah, then, what should she do?

“Does Baili gongzi know the matter of Bai Feiyun being trapped by the Demonic Sect?” Tang Doudou felt like she should still take it slowly step by step. First she should lead the topic into Bai Feiyun’s matter before letting nature take its course and bringing up the matter of the Alliance Head Command Tablet.

“It has been spread through the entire Jianghu, to not know would be difficult.”

Tang Doudou pinched her chin as she muttered, “Regarding this matter, what are Baili gongzi’s views?”

“No particular views. This one is nothing more than a businessman and doesn’t understand the matters of the Jianghu.” Lifting up the tea next to him, he took a shallow sip before continuing, “Alliance Head Li has asked the wrong person.”

“Master, Young Master Jun has come.” Suddenly, Ye Chuan’s voice came from outside the door.

Not waiting for Baili Yu to speak, Jun Xin’s surprised voice immediately sounded, “Bai Lianhua, why are you also here? When did you come? How come you’re not going in? Afraid Baili Yu will chase you out? Hahaha…”

Hearing Jun Xin’s familiar voice, Tang Doudou unexpectedly felt relief. Afterwards, she felt like laughing. Bai Lianhua* is Miss Bai’s maiden name? It truly was an exotic enough name… what were Miss Bai’s parents thinking? But, thinking about it again, people in the past didn’t have this term so what was she blindly thinking so much for!?T/N3

白莲花 – Bai Lian Hua translates to ‘white lotus flower’. In the past, it was used to point to the beauty of a lotus flower that was unstained by the mud it grew out of and symbolized purity. Nowadays, on the internet it’s often used to mock people and has a similar meaning as the term ‘green tea bitch’(绿茶婊). It points to someone that looks pure on the surface but is rotten inside. A person that pretends to be pure, noble and virtuous.

The current business was more important. Tang Doudou raised her head and only now did she discover that their posture was a bit inappropriate.

A certain person reclined calmly on the soft couch. There was the faint scent of incense in the air. She was stooped at his waist area with her head lowered. Even though she was looking at that jade tablet, if you were looking in from outside the door, this position was very very bad.T/N2—

As she blanked out for a brief moment, the door had already opened with a bang.

Jun Xin who was wearing a simple black rogue outfit casually walked in without looking, “Baili Yu, I heard Li Xueyi came to find you… find you…”

The sound of the voice had just fallen when the smile on his face froze and an unnatural expression flashed through his eyes. When did this stinkin’ woman get so close with Baili Yu?

Ye Chuan who had also followed in froze as well. He reacted very quickly and before Bai Lianhua was able to approach, his hand moved behind him and that door abruptly shut.

With the loud sound of a bang, everyone snapped back to their senses.

Tang Doudou naturally wanted to hurry and get away from Baili Yu, this dangerous guy. But the moment she moved, Baili Yu’s hand shot out unusually fast and pulled her arm down. She cried out in alarm as she felt the sky spin and earth turn. When she returned to her senses, Tang Doudou was stunned to discover that Baili Yu had already drew her into his arms.

“Ah Xin, are you looking for Xueyi for something?”
