Chapter 210.1: Malicious Woman (1/2)
Tang Doudou who had ran off with Jun Xin had no idea that the person had already recognized her.
Huff huff…
When they saw that no one was chasing after them, they shared a look and laughed.
Tang Doudou patted her chest. Her little face was completely flushed from having run too fast. “That was seriously too exciting!”
It had been a long time since Jun Xin had seen her laugh so carefreely, so he felt pretty happy as well.
“You’re seriously a wimp. The person didn’t even chase after you, yet you still ran so fast!”
“They didn’t chase after us?” Tang Doudou was surprised. She rubbed her head, then said with a smile, “It’s good that they didn’t. I was really worried that we wouldn’t be able to outrun them!”
Jun Xin stayed silent and didn’t tell her that the reason those people didn’t chase after them was because they had already recognized her as the Young City Lord, Li Xueyi.
“Aiy, all right! We’ve played our fill and eaten our fill, so let’s head back now!” Tang Doudou gave a long sigh as if she was resigning herself to some terrible fate, then started walking forward with her hands folded behind her back.
Since she had already decided to head back, Jun Xin didn’t try to detain her and simply followed her.
Another hour passed.
Tang Doudou almost couldn’t maintain the unperturbed expression on her face anymore. Fudge! She couldn’t find the way back!
But if she admitted it, Jun Xin would mock her again. She had already gotten laughed at by him way too many times today!
So she dawdled and dawdled…
“Are you lost?” How could Jun Xin possibly not know what this woman was thinking? He started becoming puzzled as well. How had he ended up taking a fancy to such a dumb woman?
Even if she had lost her memories from before, she had still been back in Cloud City for almost two months, hadn’t she?
It was still quite a long period of time even without factoring in the time she spent recuperating, yet she still hadn’t even gotten a clear handle of her own family’s territory. They had already walked through this street four times, yet she didn’t seem to notice and continued walking while feigning calmness.
Jun Xin was about to call her out on it when he abruptly moved up and pulled Tang Doudou into his arms. Tang Doudou was startled but before she could figure out the situation, a blade flashed past in front of the two. If Jun Xin hadn’t pulled Tang Doudou and dodged, she would have already become a corpse!
“Liu Zhiyuan!” Jun Xin didn’t see the person, but he immediately recognized the sword technique used.
Flames of fury immediately filled his heart. Nangong Yan, that woman, was seriously intolerable! He didn’t expected for her to exercise restraint, but he never thought that she actually dared to send someone to assassinate Tang Doudou in broad daylight!
That woman was too malicious, it was no wonder Baili Yu had never taken a fancy to her.
Tang Doudou only came to her senses after she heard Jun Xin’s words. When she saw blood seeping through his ripped garments, she became flustered. “Jun Xin!”
“Don’t worry, it’s just a small injury. You should be careful. Liu Zhiyuan’s sword skills aren’t as simple as they looked on the stage; they’re very strange and extremely hard to block!” When Jun Xin saw that she was worried about him, warmth filled his eyes. He quietly warned her, then shielded her in his arms and examined the surroundings.
His gaze suddenly locked onto an area in front of them. The antique lamp slowly floated up from Jun Xin’s side. Its blue light flashed, then it flew back towards them. When Tang Doudou looked in that direction again, Liu Zhiyuan’s previously concealed figure was now visible.
