Chapter 71: Whats With Baili Yu Today? (1/2)

“It’s really a family heirloom?” Tang Doudou stared at Lou Qingyun. How come it just doesn’t seem real?

Right at this moment, Baili Yu, who had been silent for quite a while, spoke, “Since when did the Lou family have such a worthless family heirloom?”

“Worthless?”

“It’s just a simple copper lamp. The craftwork is just a bit more elaborate, that’s all. If it weren’t for the fact that you, Xueyi, seemed to like it, why would I buy it?”

His tone was light and carried a faint pampering tone, causing Tang Doudou to be baffled and feel that there was something wrong with her ears.

Otherwise, the Baili Yu in front of her must have been possessed by a ghost. His behavior was extremely strange, causing her to feel particularly uncomfortable.

After Baili Yu said that the lamp wasn’t worth that amount of money, Lou Qingyun became a bit embarrassed and could only fess up honestly. “I won’t keep it from you two, this lamp was something I picked up from the riverbank…”

“What!? And you dared to set a price of five thousand for something you picked up!? Lou Qingyun, you’re truly even more black-hearted than a black-cored radish!” In reality, Tang Doudou could also tell that this antique lamp wasn’t valuable. However, her concern caused her heart to become chaotic. When she thought of this lamp’s possible function, she couldn’t calm down at all. Now that she Lou Qingyun came out with the truth, she immediately exploded.

“Ahem. This is just a bet. When the time comes, I’ll just send the money back to you!” It wasn’t like Lou Qingyun didn’t have this amount of money either. It was just that when he made the bet, those guys had taken all the money on him. Now that he obtained some money, he had to head back to report. Once he won this competition, he could marry Lady Yun Yan, hehe…

Seeing that Tang Doudou still had an enraged expression, Lou Qingyun scratched the back of his head in an embarrassed manner. “Aiyah, you can just rest easy. My reputation in Huai City can still be trusted!”

He couldn’t delay any longer. If he delayed anymore, those guys would snatch the opportunity to find Lady Yun Yan first. At that time, wouldn’t everything have gone to waste?”

“Alliance Head Li, if you don’t believe me, you can ask Baili gongzi!”

How could Tang Doudou possibly dare to ask Baili Yu? She was already saying amitabha buddha that he was just standing there without speaking!

“It won’t do, I can’t stop worrying.”

“Forget it. If you can’t trust me, just return the lamp to me and I’ll hand these banknotes back to you. How about that?” Even though he proposed this, Lou Qingyun didn’t think that Tang Doudou would do so. Anyone with eyes could see that Tang Doudou cared a lot about this antique lamp. From how nervous she looked, perhaps this antique lamp was something she lost at the river.

As expected, Tang Doudou shook her head immediately in response to his words. “That still won’t do. I must have this lamp.”

“This doesn’t work, that doesn’t work. Alliance Head Li, suggest something that would work ah. I don’t have the time to dawdle here with you!”

“How about this!?” Tang Doudou had lowered her eyes to deliberate for a while, then thought of a great idea.

“How about what?” Lou Qingyun saw that her eyes had lit up and guessed that she may have thought of an idea that satisfied both demands.

Tang Doudou put away that antique lamp first. After that, her eyes swept across Baili Yu who was acting as a backdrop. Only now did she start to become curious. Why is this evil spirit so low-key while heading out today? Not only did he not sit on a palanquin, he didn’t even bring a servant girl along. The only one here was Ye Chuan, who was still hidden in the darkness like before.

She had already noticed earlier how much better Baili Yu’s complexion was. Now that she has noticed this as well, a bold guess emerged in her head. Could it be that this guy has recovered from his illness?

That’s why his past languishness was brushed away in one sweep?

“Why don’t I go with you? After you win the contest, you can immediately return the money to me. Isn’t this a good idea?” There were two goals to this idea. First was its actual intention and second was that she could shake off Baili Yu. After all, she was heading off with Lou Qingyun, it’s not like Baili Yu would keep following them, right?

Lou Qingyun considered it, then said, “Alright. You can just head over with me. That way, you can also help me prove that this lamp was sold and that I didn’t call someone to bring me money from home after getting thrown out.”

Tang Doudou was also pretty happy that the idea took off. She moved up to pat Lou Qingyun’s shoulder. “There’s no time to lose, let’s go!”

“What about Baili gongzi?” Lou Qingyun suddenly asked.

The moment these words came out, Tang Doudou itched to fling a slap at him. Couldn’t you have just ignored this evil spirit?

What if he decides to go along now that you’ve asked him?

In reality, Lou Qingyun was only being polite in asking Baili Yu. If it was someone else, he might have been able to ignore them, but this was Baili Yu. If he didn’t improve his attitude a little and Baili Yu ended up becoming displeased, the Huai City Lou family would probably be wiped off the records of this Wind Spirit Imperial Court.

“Me? Of course I’ll be going with Xueyi.” Tang Doudou didn’t know if it was her senses playing a trick, but a strange light seemed to flash in Baili Yu’s peach blossom eyes when he said this.

The feeling that something wasn’t right once again bubbled up in Tang Doudou’s heart. Why did she seem to feel that something wasn’t right the more she looked at Baili Yu?

But no matter how she thought about it, she couldn’t pinpoint where the strangeness was. She could only pat her chest and tell herself that she was probably just excited from seeing the antique lamp and overthinking things.

However, Baili Yu wanting to follow along was pretty troublesome.

Lou Qingyun, on the other hand, didn’t really care. Whether Baili Yu went or not had nothing to do with him. It was just that he discovered Baili Yu’s gaze when he looked at this Alliance Head was a bit strange ah!

“Why aren’t you guys moving?” The moment Baili Yu finished speaking, he moved up, grasped Tang Doudou’s hand and started walking towards the street.

Tang Doudou struggled for a few moments to get free and discovered that although he was not grasping her tightly, she could not struggle free no matter what she did. She couldn’t help but become discouraged. She then turned around and shouted at Lou Qingyun, “Surnamed Lou, are you going or not?”

Her sharp shout sounded extremely like a woman’s voice. Lou Qingyun knitted his brows, a bit suspicious. He flipped open his fan and thought for a bit before following them.
