Chapter 156.1: Caused Stirrings of Love (2/2)
After Mu Qingyao finished speaking, she left with the other disciples without waiting for Mu Xinyu’s reaction.
“Eh? Why isn’t Xinyu coming out?” Tang Doudou, who had waited quite a while at the entrance of the Alliance Head Residence, saw Mu Qingyao come out with the other disciples in a group. However, when she swept her gaze over them, she discovered that the group was short one person.
The reason she remembered Mu Xinyu was because when she was over discussing matters with Mu Qingyao, that lady would often bring her all sorts of tasty treats. In addition, her personality was reserved, gentle, and cute. She was very similar to Qing Yin and was a wonderful girl.
Tang Doudou was naturally unaware of the little episode that had occurred earlier in the room. The moment she asked this, the expressions of the disciples standing behind Mu Qingyao changed and became a little awkward.
Mu Xinlan had always been rather audacious, and so at this time she directly asked, “Alliance Head Li is so concerned about my Senior Sister, could it be that you’ve taken a liking to her?”
“Xinlan!” Mu Qingyao hadn’t expected Mu Xinlan to speak so quickly. By the time she reacted and spoke to stop her, it was too late. She looked towards Tang Doudou apologetically and said, “Xinlan is just joking with Alliance Head, I hope Alliance Head Li won’t take this to heart. Xinyu had left something behind and went back to look for it. She’ll be here soon.”
“Haha, it’s fine. Xinlan and Xinyu are both good ladies with straightforward and mild-mannered personalities. Countless people must envy Sect Leader for being able to have such cute disciples.” Actually, Tang Doudou had been quite alarmed by what Mu Xinlan said. She thought back to Mu Xinyu’s usual behavior and felt that it actually did seem like Mu Xinyu liked her.
She had never expected something like this to happen again after what happened with Qing Yin. Tang Doudou felt quite depressed.
After shifting the topic with a laugh, she saw Mu Xinyu jog over, her eyes red. When she got close, she softly called ‘Master,’ then joined the group, not daring to even glance at Tang Doudou.
Her manner validated what Xinlan said earlier.
Damned yo-yo ah, Li Xueyi! This was all because of this stinky skin sack of yours!T/N
If she had been a man, it’d still be fine to hit on girls like this but she was a lil’ sis ah! The way she was stealing hearts like this, wasn’t it harming the girls? What if Mu Xinyu got love-sickness after she went back? Wouldn’t she have committed a great sin?
This wouldn’t do. She had to reinstate her female identity as soon as possible, otherwise, it’d be hard to guarantee that something like this wouldn’t happen again.
At this time, Mu Qingyao spoke again. “The matter regarding the Demonic Sect has yet to be completely resolved so Alliance Head Li definitely still has a lot of affairs to attend to. Qingyao is already honored to have Alliance Head Li see us off this far and requests that Alliance Head simply sees us out here.”
If it had been before, Tang Doudou definitely would have insisted on seeing them off further. But when she saw that Mu Xinlan had nothing on her back, she immediately realized what was going on and handed the bundle she was holding to Mu Qingyao. “Aiyah, if Sect Leader Mu hadn’t brought it up, I really would have forgotten. Not only do I have to deal with the Demonic Sect matters, my wedding day is also approaching. I still have to prepare for the ceremony!”
It was impossible for the people present not to know what was going on upon hearing this.
Mu Qingyao didn’t blame Tang Doudou for acting in such a cruel, final manner. On the contrary, she was very grateful that Tang Doudou didn’t wade in mud and water, and said with a smile, “From the looks of it, we won’t be able to make it in time to Alliance Head’s wedding, so Qingyao will give well-wishes in advance. May Alliance Head and Baili gongzi have a long and happy life together and forever be of one mind and one heart!”
Tang Doudou smiled. “Then I’ll just see you off this far. I hope you have a pleasant journey and reach home safely!”
Mu Qingyao nodded slightly, then left with her disciples.
