Chapter 162.1: Bai Family Head Bai Luoqing (1/2)

Just as Tang Doudou was about to call out to that person, someone hit her hard on the back. She immediately felt a stabbing pain and became dizzy.

Her eyesight gradually blurred, then she collapsed.

“Humph! You want to notify Bai Feiyun? Keep dreaming!” said He daren with a dark smile.

“Daren, what do we do now?” asked the soldier escorting Tang Doudou.

He daren said, “Find a scapegoat to send to the Ministry of Justice, then bring him to the second prince’s residence. Be careful with this task. Don’t let anyone see!”

“Understood, daren!”

Bai Feiyun who was walking in the crowd sensed a very intense gaze. However, when he turned around, he didn’t see anything unusual. A trace of puzzlement flashed through his eyes. Could it have been someone that was shadowing him?

But it wasn’t possible for someone shadowing to have such an intense gaze.

More importantly, had Golden Wind Jade Dew found Li Xueyi yet? Bai Feiyun turned back to look at the street full of people, then walked into a hidden alley at the side. At a place with a special notation, he lightly knocked a few times – three long, two short.

After waiting quietly for a while, the small door next to the wall opened. A middle-aged man wearing peasant clothing looked out. When he saw Bai Feiyun standing at the door, he greeted him very respectfully, “Bai gongzi.”

Bai Feiyun nodded towards him, then lifted the hem of his clothes and walked in.

Inside was an ordinary peasant family styled courtyard. After Bai Feiyun entered, the peasant started leading him further inside. “Bai gongzi, my Family Head has already been waiting for you for a long time. Please come this way.”

“Is it just your Family Head?” Bai Feiyun naturally knew that person had been waiting for him a long time. He had always found excuses not to come because he didn’t want to obey the Bai family’s plans. From a young age, he had been sent out of the Bai family by his mother and grew up in the White Wind Manor that his mother had established. Hence, he didn’t have any good impression of the Bai family.

However, since things had gotten to this point, he had no choice but to come here. He had once seen symptoms similar to Tang Doudou’s current ones in the Bai family’s records. However, it had been too long ago so he couldn’t remember what he read clearly. That was why he could only come to look for the Head of Bai family to ask for a chance to return to the main house and thumb through the records.

He just didn’t know if he would make it in time.

While deeply worried, Bai Feiyun was brought to a dark, underground room.

“Feiyun, is that you?” Before he even entered, he heard a young girl’s voice come from the room. This voice barely sounded twenty. It was probably hard to imagine that such a young girl was the head of the Bai family.

“Feiyun greets Family Head.” After entering, Bai Feiyun gave his greetings in neither a servile nor overbearing manner before looking towards the girl dressed in purple who was sitting on the stone bed in the center of the room.

The girl had her back facing Bai Feiyun but slowly turned around after hearing his voice.

Her back looked quite perfect. Semi-transparent purple fabric covered that lithe body, exhibiting an extremely mysterious and hazy feeling. Her beautiful hair was pulled up high to reveal her slender, swan-like neck. Purple gauze hung down from her hair to her front. It was only revealed when she turned around that her features were actually half covered by that gauze. Only a pair of extremely charming eyes were left exposed.

“You’ve finally thought it through and come to see me.” The girl was Bai Luoqing, the head of the Bai family. Her charming eyes seemed to sigh with sorrow. She extended her jade feet from beneath her garment and the bell on her ankle jingled as she stepped barefoot onto the ground. The black-colored ground contrasted with her delicate jade feet as she walked step by step towards Bai Feiyun.

Bai Feiyun lowered his head, a trace of fear passing through his eyes. “Feiyun came to find Family Head to request something.”

Bai Luoqing stopped in front of him and lifted her brows in surprise. “Oh? How rare. You actually have something to request of me?”
