Chapter 137.1: Jing Yi (2/2)

Tang Doudou was astonished. She joined the two jade tablets and, as expected, they fitted seamlessly together. The map also fitted together perfectly.

“From now on, you’re the owner of these two jade tablets,” said Baili Yu softly as he took Tang Doudou’s hand.

“Isn’t this the Alliance Head Command Tablet?”

“That was just Su Yi teasing you guys for fun. When has there ever been an Alliance Head Command Tablet? It was just something he blurted out after getting drunk one time. This is a paired jade tablet. Its name is Jing Yi. Just as you’ve seen, there’s a map engraved on it. This map is said to show the location of a certain imperial court’s treasure.”

“Da fudge? This is a treasure map!?” Tang Doudou stared at the tablets, then moved her face close to Baili Yu’s. “You’re really willing to give me something this important?”

“It’s useless to me anyways so why not give it to you to use as an ornament? It looks quite pleasing to the eye at your waist.” Baili Yu smiled as he took the jade tablets from Tang Doudou’s hand and helped her tie them onto her waist.

Tsk tsk tsk. Tang Doudou pulled the jade tablets up and flipped them back and forth to look at them. See? The wealthy are just wealthy, what did it matter to burn some money and scatter some silver?

To hang a treasure map off oneself as a decoration, isn’t that a little too damned cool!?

“What you mean is that this jade tablet was something you and Su Yi each both possessed a half of?”

She had only said the start of it but Baili Yu immediately knew that she was thinking of something strange in that little head of hers again and cut her off. “You should go back. Su Yi’s definitely worried about me suddenly bringing you away. Though I don’t really like him, in the end he is your relative. In the future I have to yield to him a little more, else you’ll say I bully him.”

“I never thought that Su Yi would be the Lord of Cloud City, he’s way too young. Aren’t you guys curious at all? I heard Xiao Bai say that Su Yi was over a hundred years old, but he looks even younger than you!” And there was Feng Wu as well. The more Tang Doudou thought about it, the more puzzled she felt. Could it be that they’ve eaten an immortality pill? Or was it that the place she had transmigrated to actually had some hermit cultivators?

Having read quite a lot of novels, Tang Doudou’s brain immediately started whirling with these thoughts. However, it was normal for her thoughts to turn in this direction considering how unbelievable Su Yi and Feng Wu’s situations were.

Baili Yu explained, “The reason they seem young is because of their martial arts style. It’s part of Cloud City’s most mysterious legend. It is said that if one practiced it to the tenth stage, one could even attain immortality.”

Tang Doudou was shocked. “Isn’t that way too mystical!?”

“It’s not that mystical compared to the other things Cloud City contain.” Baili Yu’s smiling tone seemed to contain other implications as he said this.

“Aiy, what exactly is Cloud City like?” A trace of light streaked through Tang Doudou’s eyes as she looked into the vast starry sky above them. For the first time, she looked forward to seeing Cloud City.
