Chapter 254.1: Once Again Encountering Mu Ye (1/2)

It was someone of the Seven Great Saint Tribes!

That black robe had seriously made too deep of an impression on her!

She hadn’t expected to encounter someone of the Seven Great Saint Tribes the moment she got to Cerulean Mountain. From the looks of it, her earlier guess hadn’t been wrong. Baili Yu had definitely left due to discovering some black-clothed men.

Tang Doudou edged backwards nervously. The monkey on her back also seemed to be very nervous. It grabbed her hair tightly as it cried out softly.

The black-clothed man wasn’t far from them. He was near the underbrush where the monkey was and was only a few steps away from her. If he wanted, he could instantly get to her, grab her throat, and snap it.

When Tang Doudou’s thoughts got to this point, she couldn’t help but take another step back. However, she was also worried about causing too large of a disturbance and attracting the black-clothed man’s attention.

The only features of the black-clothed man that could be seen were his eyes. They were clear like a cool stream, and made him look much more appealing than Shen Moru, who was like a ghost.

More importantly, she didn’t sense any hints of danger from this black-clothed man. His imposing aura was restrained and not a single hint of it was let out. His gaze was also mild as he looked at her.

Tang Doudou was thinking that perhaps this person didn’t know who she was.

After all, though her name was famous, there were very few people that actually knew what she looked like.

As expected, right when she had this thought, she saw a hint of probing flash through that black-clothed man’s eyes.

Following that, he laughed softly. It was like the sound of an inadvertently plucked guqin string, clear and slightly magnetic.

Tang Doudou’s breath was taken away by that sound. She couldn’t help but sigh from the bottom of her heart. Wasn’t this sound a little too beautiful!?

“This is Cerulean Mountain’s forbidden grounds. Why did Lady run in here?” The black-clothed man slowly walked over. His eyes swept over the monkey behind her. “A nine-eared Monkey? Is it your pet?”

“Uh…” Tang Doudou knitted her brows. The forbidden grounds of Cerulean Mountain probably pointed to the forbidden grounds of the Seven Great Saint Tribes?

“Lil’ Gray is my…”

Usually people would be killed for breaking into forbidden grounds, but this black-clothed person actually started chatting with her. Wasn’t this a little too strange?

However, Baili Yu had mentioned before that not everyone in the Seven Great Saint Tribes was a bad person. There was for example, Jun Xin. He only joined the Saint Tribes and became a Saint Envoy for the sake of finding information on his parents.

Then there was Nan Maner.

If it weren’t for her, she and Mu Ye wouldn’t have been able to escape Tree Valley.

So, was this person a good person, or a bad person?

“Lady truly has good fortune. This Nine-eared Monkey is a very rare spirit beast.” The black-clothed person’s tone was light and gentle. It was very hard for someone to feel malice towards him.

“Why did Lady come to this forbidden grounds?”

Tang Doudou’s eyes whirled slightly, then she pulled the monkey behind her up to the front. The monkey seemed to be very afraid of this black-clothed person and hastily burrowed into Tang Doudou’s chest. It only stopped moving once its head was completely hidden.

“I didn’t come in here on purpose. It was all Lil’ Gray’s fault. He ran in looking for food. I was worried that he’d encounter something dangerous so I ran in after him!” Tang Doudou acted as if she had just come to her senses and explained herself timidly.

The black-clothed man laughed again. “So it was like hat.”

“If I ended up bothering you, I-I’ll leave right away!” Tang Doudou turned to leave with the little monkey.

Her heart was practically about to leap out of her throat. She was really worried that this black-clothed man would suddenly attack her.

In the end, he just offered considerately, “The forest isn’t safe. Why don’t I see you out?”
