Chapter 222.1: Mandate of Heavens Child (1/2)
Baili Yu’s expression turned serious as he looked towards the ship’s hold.
Danger? What danger? Tang Doudou’s brain was filled with question marks as she followed Baili Yu’s line of sight and looked over. Yuner started walking slowly out from the hold after Tang Doudou looked over.
“Beautiful Big Sister, you guys shouldn’t go back there. There’s danger on that boat,” said Yuner.
“But we just came from that side and there wasn’t any danger…” said Tang Doudou. Then she recalled Baili Yu’s earlier expression. If it really wasn’t dangerous, Baili Yu probably wouldn’t have paid any attention to Yuner. She glanced up at him and asked, “How ’bout it? Wait awhile?”
“En.” As she predicted, Baili Yu immediately agreed and sat back down while hugging her.
Yu Fenger couldn’t help but ask curiously, “Yuner, how did you know that there’s danger on that boat?”
He wasn’t the only one curious. Everyone apart from Baili Yu was looking towards Yuner curiously.
Yuner glanced at them uneasily. It took him a moment to gather up the courage to sit down with them. “Everything I said is true.”
Tang Doudou nodded and said encouragingly, “En, we know that everything Yuner said is true. Yuner doesn’t need to be scared. You probably already know that everyone here is a good person after interacting with us for such a long time. You can speak freely; there’s no need to be afraid.”
“I know…” Beautiful Big Sister was a good person. Big Brother Yu and the others were also good people. But… Yuner didn’t dare to look at Baili Yu. “But Yuner doesn’t know how to explain.”
“Just tell us how you know that there is danger on that boat?” prompted Yu Fenger.
Tang Doudou nodded as well, but the one that spoke in the end wasn’t Yuner but Baili Yu. “There’s no point asking. He won’t be able to explain it.”
“Hah?”
Baili Yu smiled; it was a smile as tranquil as the spring wind. “Because that’s something he simply figured out, right?”
The last question was directed at Yuner.
As expected, it was impossible to keep anything from this man.
Yuner felt even more reverence for Baili Yu. He lowered his head and nodded slightly. “Y-yes, I figured it out.”
“Figured out?” Tang Doudou was befuddled by the two. How could a person simply figure something like this out?
Could it be divination?
Jesus ah, who would have thought that Yuner knew how to do this?
Perhaps Yuner knew what she was thinking, because he lifted his head and said bashfully, “Yuner doesn’t know how either, it’s just a feeling. Yuner felt that it was best for Beautiful Big Sister not to go back to that boat because you’ll encounter danger.”
Yu Fenger became so shocked his face changed color. He abruptly stood up and blurted out, “Mandate of Heaven’s child!”
“Mandate of Heaven’s child?” Tang Doudou was getting more and more confused. She looked towards Baili Yu who was unperturbed as usual, then back at Yu Fenger. “Big Brother Yu? What’s Mandate of Heaven’s child?”
Only then did Yu Fenger seem to realize that he had accidentally blurted this out. He smiled stiffly and said, “I-it’s nothing. There’s nothing like that.”
He lifted his wine cup in order to mask his flustered state.
Tang Doudou didn’t continue questioning and simply stared at Yu Fenger until he felt goosebumps all over. Finally, he said, “Doudou, it’s not that Big Brother wants to keep it from you, but this is a long story ah…”
“Then just make the long story short.”
“Knowing about it isn’t anything good either.”
“Yuner is my friend. There’s no way I’d be able to sit still and ignore it if something happens to him.”
After she finished speaking, she continued staring at Yu Fenger. She’d like to see what other excuses he could come up with.
As expected, Yu Fenger ran out of ideas and said, “Aiy, Baili gongzi probably knows more about this than we do, so why not let him explain?”
