Chapter 258.1: Mu Yes Killing Intent (1/2)

Tang Doudou only found out the next day why that waiter said that their inn was the only one that still had empty rooms in Saint City.

It turned out that the Seven Great Saint Tribe’s quinquennial conference was about to start. Tribe members from all parts of the world had come here. Not only were the inns completely full, there were even people sleeping on the streets.

Tang Doudou closed the window since all that could be seen was still the same black.

She seriously couldn’t understand why they all had to wear black robes.

When a crowd gathered, it looked like the street was filled with black bugs.

“If the conference is at Saint City, then there’s no need to go to the Saint Palace to look for Shen Moru.”

Meanwhile, Tang Doudou was thinking that it was no wonder Baili Yu chose to come at this time. He had definitely been aiming for the conference time. With so many black-robed people around, even if he caused a bit of a disturbance, not much people would notice.

Then Baili Yu should also be in Saint City right now, right?

When Mu Ye didn’t hear any response from her, he glanced over at her and saw that she was deep in thought. He said coldly, “Your injury hasn’t healed so you probably won’t even have a chance to escape if you encounter Shen Moru.”

It was rare for Mu Ye to speak so much in one go, so his words immediately jolted Tang Doudou out of her thoughts. She picked up the kettle on the table and poured herself a cup of water. “Do you want some?”

Mu Ye was just about to nod when he saw Lil’ Gray shake his head. “No need.”

“That’s why I was saying we should just use schemes instead of brute strength.” Tang Doudou took a sip to moisten her throat but found that this water seemed very soothing. It felt like even her pores were relaxing after she drank it.

Her attention was immediately attracted by the water. She drank a couple more mouthfuls and was just about to pour more when she found that the kettle was already out of water. “This water is really strange…”

“It’s just normal tea,” said Mu Ye.

Tang Doudou immediately shook her head. “It doesn’t taste like tea. It’s just boiled water… Oh, that’s right, I forgot to tell you. Last night, the food the waiter brought was poisoned. If it weren’t for Lil’ Gray, I probably wouldn’t be here anymore.”

Mu Ye lifted his brows coldly. “The inn did it?”

“From the waiter’s manner, probably. However, if they were the ones behind it, why would they do it so openly? Could it be that they’re not worried about being caught?” Tang Doudou was very curious about this.

Mu Ye looked up. “Did you look for him?”

“Me?” Tang Doudou suddenly understood. “So it was like that! The inns were probably used to doing this, and since people in Saint City usually want to keep their identities hidden, they usually don’t pursue the matter in order to avoid attracting attention. That’s why the inns would be so unrestrained in their doings!”

“En.” Mu Ye expressed his agreement.
