Chapter 144.2: Become Sworn Siblings (1/2)

Tang Doudou finally understood. It was likely that their goal in saving her had been due to money after all!

However, they couldn’t be blamed, after all, this was their trade. It would have been stranger if it hadn’t been for the sake of money.

“Then I’ll stay.” Tang Doudou shot Xiao Dao a look. If it had been before, she definitely wouldn’t have agreed but things were different now. Firstly, the fact that they didn’t loot them while she was unconscious meant that these two were not wicked beyond redemption. Secondly, she and Xiao Dao were a match for these two at all. If it really came to blows, they would be the ones to suffer.

“Xiao Dao, you head back. Find Xiao Bai, get the money, then come back to get me!”

“No, I can’t leave you here by yourself!” Xiao Dao rejected this idea without even considering it. He would have agreed if the idea was for him to stay but there was no way he would agree to leave Tang Doudou here in Green Summit Stronghold.

Tang Doudou naturally knew what he was worried about. Wasn’t it precisely because the way Yu Fenger looked at her was too vulgar?

In reality, from the brief exchange earlier and from what Xiao Dao told her about yesterday’s incident, she had come to understand that Yu Fenger only looked vulgar. In actuality, he was pretty decent as a person and wasn’t the type to use despicable, underhanded means.

“Xiao Dao, I’ll be fine.” Tang Doudou organized her thoughts, then tried to persuade him. “Think about it, it would still take about four days to reach Huai City. Setting aside the question of whether I’ll be able to find the way, for now, we don’t even know what kind of danger lies ahead. Rather than having me face those unknown dangers, it would be much safer to just let me stay here! At the very least there’s no way they’ll do anything to me before the money gets here.”

Her words swayed Xiao Dao. “But…”

“No buts. What’s a man dawdling so much for?” Tang Doudou wanted to rap him again but withdrew her hand midway.T/N “Remember to explain it clearly to Xiao Bai and have him wait patiently for me a couple more days.”

In reality, Xiao Dao wanted to tell her that he could release a signal to have the people from the Chamber of Commerce directly bring the money over. However, when he recalled the instructions Baili Yu gave him, he stopped himself. Inwardly, he drew up other plans.

“Then you be careful, I’m going now.”

“Go, go.”

Xiao Dao walked a few steps away before turning back again. “Golden Wind Jade Dew, I, Xiao Dao, respect you two as heroes. However, I hope that you two will not do anything to harm your own honorable name!”

After he finished speaking, he left Green Summit Stronghold.

After Xiao Dao left, Yu Fenger asked with a happy laugh, “You’re called Lady Doudou, right?”

“That’s right. If Stronghold Master Yu does not mind, you can just call me Doudou!”

“Doudou…” Yu Fenger lifted his hand in the orchid fingers gesture and pointed towards the chair next to him. “Please sit.”

Tang Doudou didn’t stand on formalities either and sat down to wait for Yu Fenger to continue talking.

After Xiao Dao agreed to go and bring back the money, Jin Longbiao shut up. When he saw Yu Fenger invite Tang Doudou to sit down, he decided to just head out and find some brothers to drink with, holding onto the mindset of what one doesn’t see, one doesn’t feel vexed over.

“This Jin ge of mine is just like this. It has let Doudou, you, see a joke.”
