Chapter 75: Who is the Pavilion Master? (2/2)

However, Tang Doudou could care less about that. She would rather head outside and be captured again than to stay even a second longer in this damned place!

“Wait a little bit more. I keep feeling that this matter isn’t as simple as it seems.”

Aren’t those useless words? Tang Doudou rolled her eyes and got up. “If you want to wait, then just wait. I’m leaving!”

She had seen the situation on Lou Qingyun’s arm earlier and saw that, as he had said, those disgusting bugs only gathered around places with injuries.

Then, she recalled that soft cold thing on her forehead earlier. Suddenly, a terrifying thought emerged, that couldn’t have been a Black Demonic Nightcrawler, right?

But didn’t Lou Qingyun say they were poisonous?

Then how come she didn’t feel it even a little?

Tang Doudou thought about it, then her gaze darted towards Lou Qingyun as her eyes filled with complicated emotions. He’s lying!

When she came to this realization, Tang Doudou got a bad premonition. However, in order to prevent Lou Qingyun from finding out, she pretended to check the surroundings with the rolled torch before extinguishing its light.

“Why did the fire go out?” Lou Qingyun knitted his brows as he asked.

Tang Doudou definitely couldn’t say that she purposefully extinguished it so she could only feign embarrassment. “I used too much force. I never thought that this rolled torch was of such low quality.”

“Can it still be used?”

“I don’t think so,” said Tang Doudou dejectedly. However, she tucked the rolled torch back into her chest carefully. “I’ll go look around to see what exactly is this place. You rest a while, but don’t faint no matter what!”

“Poison and medicine are mutually supplementing existences. Since the Black Demonic Nightcrawler is a poisonous object, then there’s definitely something to inhibit it in the surroundings. I’ll try to find it and see if I can undo your poison.”

Before, she had thought that Lou Qingyun sounded so overly weak because he lost too much blood. However, from the looks of it now, that wasn’t the case. Although those bugs were scary, they weren’t that big. The biggest was probably only as big as an enoki mushroom. There weren’t a lot of them either. There were only four climbing back and forth on him. No matter how fast they sucked blood, they couldn’t have caused him to faint that quickly.

From this, it can be seen that they were definitely poisonous bugs.

Lou Qingyun was silent for a while before he said, “Then I’ll have to trouble you, Alliance Head Li.”

“If you’re fine, then I’ll leave first!”

Lou Qingyun, who exactly are you?

Tang Doudou walked forward a couple steps before a light bulb flickered to life. Could it be that Lou Qingyun was the Pavilion Master that Boss Qing had talked about?

That’s not right… She immediately threw out this unrealistic guess. Even though Lou Qingyun was speaking normally right now, from the way he had acted earlier, it was obvious that he was just some spoiled useless son from a rich family. No matter how you looked at it, he couldn’t be linked with that mysterious Pavilion Head.

But if it was really like this, then why did that Lou Qingyun lie to her?

Tang Doudou wasn’t able to think of any explanation and didn’t want to try thinking about it anymore. She was just about to turn away and put some distance between herself and Lou Qingyun when she heard a creaking sound as if an old door was being pushed open.

Right after, a fierce white light came from above them.

Tang Doudou subconsciously moved to cover her eyes, but Lou Qingyun looked pensively towards the hatchway being opened overhead.

“Someone has finally come!”

Tang Doudou immediately cheered up upon seeing someone’s figure moving in the hatchway. She still held onto that sentence – she would rather be caught by someone and given a fierce beating than stay here even a moment longer.

“Haha, how did Alliance Head Li enjoy your stay here?” Boss Qing’s voice carried a tone as if she was rejoicing in the misfortunes of others. It caused Tang Doudou to itch to rush up and beat that stinkin’ woman to death.

“Boss Qing, what is the meaning of this? I went to your Rutaceae Pavilion to attend to business, yet you kidnapped me and brought me here. Could it be that you no longer wish to preserve Rutaceae Pavilion’s reputation?” Tang Doudou purposefully put on a displeased tone and sneakily glanced at Boss Qing only to see that there was a vague dark figure behind Boss Qing.

From the looks of that figure, the person was also female. It was just that Tang Doudou didn’t know if she was Boss Qing’s maid or someone else.

“Aiyoh, is Alliance Head Li threatening me?”

“How could I dare? It’s just, didn’t you say that your Pavilion Master wished to see me? Why aren’t you bringing me over to him?” From Tang Doudou’s words, she seemed to have completely forgotten that she was kidnapped.

Upon hearing this, Boss Qing laughed mirthfully like a trembling branch of flowers. Only after a long while did she gently reply, “Alliance Head Li sure has a great sense of humor. You’ve already stayed with my family’s Pavilion Master for quite a long while. Where do you want me to bring you to?”

When these words came out, Tang Doudou immediately turned to look at Lou Qingyun who was in the dark. As expected, she didn’t guess wrong!

“Boss Qing, what are you babbling about!?” Lou Qingyun’s weak voice was filled with anger, “Who in this world doesn’t know that your family’s Pavilion Head is called Xin Yue and is a woman!? Boss Qing has used this scheme to drive a wedge in the wrong area!”
