Chapter 230.2: Leaving Cloud City (1/2)
Tang Doudou got up early the next morning and heard from the maid waiting on her that Nangong Yan had already left.
She suddenly felt that today was an unbelievably beautiful new day, even the air she breathed was clear and fresh!
“Where’s your Master?”
“He hasn’t woken up yet. If Lady Doudou has something to say, then you can just tell me.” The maid’s name was Qing Yu and her personality was quite cheerful.
“It’s nothing, I’m just casually asking.”
Baili Yu seemed to be needing more and more sleep recently. Sometime soon, she had to find Cang Baicao and ask him exactly how she was supposed to cure that Hoarfrost Poison.
“Lady Doudou, are you still planning to have your breakfast inside the room?” asked Qing Yu after Tang Doudou finished washing up.
“I’ll just eat inside the room.” Tang Doudou was puzzled by Qing Yu’s question. There were no tables in the inn’s hall. If she didn’t eat inside her room, then could it be that she should go outside and crouch at the doorway to eat?
Just as she was thinking this, someone pushed open the door roughly.
Before she could complain out loud about the rude and uneducated person, Jun Xin’s annoying voice appeared. “Hey, stinkin’ woman, let’s go downstairs and have breakfast together!”
“There are no tables downstairs, are you inviting me to crouch with you at the doorway and eat?” Tang Doudou sat in front of the dressing mirror. Qing Yu helped pull her hair into a small bun and secured it with a light blue jade hairpin.
“Lady Doudou, please have a look. Do you like it like this?”
Jun Xin gave a ‘tch’ and said, “No matter how you do it the result would be the same: ugly.”
“You came here so early in the morning just to mock me?”
“Tch. How could this young master have that much free time? I’m here to tell you that Cloud City has already made an announcement asking the participants of the matchmaking competition to leave immediately. The time limit is three days. If they don’t leave by then, they can only remain in Cloud City forever and might never be able to exit Cloud City again.” Since Tang Doudou was going to take a long time to get ready, Jun Xin invited himself inside and sat down at the side of the table not too far away from her.
Although she already knew that there would be such a day, but wasn’t this way too soon?
Moreover, they haven’t found the people that instigated those assassins. How would they be able to continue investigating if they allowed the people involved to leave?
“Su Yi has returned?” Something like making an announcement wasn’t something that Murong Yu and the rest could decide on their own, because the announcement would only be valid after being stamped with Su Yi’s seal.
Jun Xin shrugged. “How would I know anything regarding the great City Lord Su’s matters?”
“Come on, spit it out!” He was always running around, so if he didn’t know that then no one else would know.
“I really don’t know.” Jun Xin yawned, then revealed a mischievous smile. “Let’s stop talking about these irritating matters. I don’t even know when we’ll be able to meet again after I leave this time, so do me a favor and eat breakfast with me, alright?”
Tang Doudou was slightly depressed now. “Just go eat by yourself.”
Due to what Jun Xin had just said, she didn’t have much of an appetite anymore.
“No, I can only eat more when I’m looking at you.” Seeing that she had no intention to go, Jun Xin simply had Qing Yu move aside, casually picked up a few flower hairpins, inserted them into her hair, then dragged her towards the door.
Da fudge! What kind of reasoning was that?
Where could she find a second person as weird as him? She had to go even if she didn’t feel like eating. When she thought to this point, she stood up and said with an utterly helpless tone, “Stop dragging, I can walk by myself.”
