Chapter 281.2: Getting Married (2/2)
Tang Doudou interrupted him and said, “I’ll have to trouble Saint Envoy Lan Jia with the arrangements then.” Following that, she started walking towards the door. “I’m going to let Mu Ye know and ask him to wait for me here.”
Look for Mu Ye?
But she wouldn’t be able to find him anymore.
Lan Jia smiled slightly, but he didn’t stop Tang Doudou and just slowly closed his eyes again. He initially thought that he would have to exert extra efforts to persuade her, but she had actually agreed so quickly. He had really overestimated her.
Shouldn’t it have occurred to her that if all Baili Yu wanted was to gain power, then he could have just taken over the Wind Spirit Imperial Court. Why would he bother running all the way to this remote crappy place just to become some Saint Emperor?
Baili Yu, that good son of his, never liked to be controlled by others. If he wanted to be the Saint Emperor, then he would have staged everything neatly so that he could sit on his position of Saint Emperor firmly. What need would there be for him to agree to some lousy wedding?
Tang Doudou still didn’t understand his son well enough ah, it seemed!
When Lan Jia’s thoughts reached this point, he got up and left the five words ‘wait for the right time’ on the table.
Following that, he jumped out the window gracefully. His qinggong was extremely good. What a liar! Who would believe that he didn’t know any martial arts!?
Tang Doudou looked but in the end, wasn’t able to find Mu Ye. The Mu Ye who said just yesterday that he would follow her wherever she went, had vanished without a trace in the blink of an eye.
Tang Doudou assumed he left to take care of some urgent matters. In any case, she had been racking her brains on how to ask him to leave, but now there was no need to worry about this anymore.
When she got back to the room, she saw the five words left on the table.
“Wait for the right time?” Tang Doudou wiped the words away with her hand and then grumbled, “Wait for what time? Didn’t he say that Baili Yu and the Saint Maiden were getting married soon? If we wait longer, then wouldn’t it be too late!?”
But there was also no other way, she could only put her hope in the method he had proposed. No matter how anxious she was, she had no choice but to wait patiently.
Since she had nothing to do, she went out to stroll around again. She bought a new set of clothes to change into and also bought two sets for Mu Ye, but she didn’t know whether the sizes would fit him. After awhile, she returned to the inn to wait for Lan Jia.
As soon as she walked in, a gray figure rushed up and threw itself at her.
When she got a clear look, she was stunned to find that it was Lil’ Gray. She hadn’t seen him since he ran away in the forest. At that time they were in the mountain cave, so that was probably why he hadn’t been able to find them.
“Lil’ Gray?”
“Zhi, zhii…” screeched Lil’ Gray when he heard Tang Doudou’s voice. After that, he jumped into her arms and buried his head into her chest with a doleful look as if he had been wronged.
Tang Doudou lifted her hand to pull him out of her bosom and set him on her shoulder before saying, “Lil’ Gray ah, you’re finally back. What’s wrong, who bullied you? Look at your pitiful manner, you’re seriously hopeless.”
Lil’ Gray felt wronged and screeched again, “Zhizhizhi…”
Someone really bullied him ah!
Lil’ Gray point towards the inn’s second floor. Tang Doudou lifted her head to look upstairs. Who else would it be except Lan Jia, that shameless scoundrel?
