Chapter 201.1: Martial Arts Matchmaking Competition (2/2)

Tang Doudou turned her head slightly and saw that there was an enormous mirror in front of her. It wasn’t a muddy yellow copper mirror but the sleek mirrors she used to have in the past. The outside surroundings could be seen in the mirror. After she had gotten onto the palanquin, the people outside had started slowly moving forward.

Cloud City had this sort of technique?

Tang Doudou clicked her tongue in wonder. It was seriously amazing!

The maid next to her spoke again, “Does Young City Lord want to eat? Later it’ll be really busy so you won’t be able to eat for a long while.”

This maid was rather amusing. Tang Doudou stretched her neck in order to see and found that it was a girl who looked very lovable and clever with gentle eyes. Her overall aura was very comfortable.

“Where are we going?” asked Tang Doudou.

The maid replied, “Of course it’s to Young City Lord’s matchmaking location. Didn’t Manager Su tell Young City Lord?”

Of course he hadn’t. If he had, why would she still be asking?

However, her guess had been pretty much on the mark. From the looks of it, Su Yi had told Manager Su to inform her, but why didn’t Manager Su tell her?

Puzzlement appeared in Tang Doudou’s eyes as she looked in the mirror at Manager Su who was walking with the rest of the procession.

“He told me, but I forgot, haha…”

The servant girl gave a slight smile as she passed her a plate of tasty-looking light refreshments. “City Lord had these prepared, Young City Lord should take advantage of this chance to eat your fill.”

“Thanks.” Only an idiot would refuse to eat when there was food offered. Moreover, the person had even warned that she wouldn’t be able to eat for a very long time later. Only an imbecile would refuse to eat in order to keep up an aloof appearance.

“No need to be polite, Young City Lord.”

As Tang Doudou ate, she suddenly recalled something and asked, “Why haven’t I seen you guys before?”

The City Lord Residence had always been quiet and deserted; she and Su Yi were the only ones there. She hadn’t even seen a feather of a bird in the City Lord Residence before, so where did these guards and maids come from?

“Replying Young City Lord, we were all recruited last minute from within the city by the City Lord.” The maid gave a cute, crafty smile.

“Cough cough…” Tang Doudou almost choked to death from the pastry she was eating when she heard these words.

These were last minute recruits?

The fudge? Wasn’t the quality of these last-minute recruits a little too high?

Tang Doudou glanced at the neat ranks of guards and couldn’t help but sigh. Cloud City was seriously such a mysterious place.

Since they were all recruited from the city, didn’t that mean that all of them had extremely good martial arts?

As if guessing her thoughts, the maid said, “After all, the people that have come to Cloud City this time aren’t ordinary people. The City Lord is also thinking about safety in doing this.”

That made a lot more sense. It was true that it would be dangerous if people from the Seven Great Saint Tribes were also in the mix of people that had come!

Tang Doudou nodded, then looked towards this maid who had a natural and easy-going manner. She couldn’t help but think of Qing Yin as she asked, “How much money did it take to hire you?”

“Huh?”

“What I mean is, how much money did Su Yi spend in order to recruit you?”

“Money?” That servant girl shook her head. Just as Tang Doudou thought it had been for free, she said, “Young City Lord, the things City Lord gave us are not things that can be measured with money.”
