Chapter 314.2: Probing (1/2)

“Haha, at this rate you’ll be henpecked forever!” Lin Shuxuan laughed heartily, then glanced towards Tang Doudou meaningfully. “Brother Tang, do you have a wife at home?”

“My home is completely cold, if not for that, how could I live in such a free and unfettered way? If I took a wife, I’d definitely take care of my wife and stay at home to support the family. There’s no way I’d keep wandering outside.”

“I never would’ve thought that despite Brother Tang’s unrestrained temperament, you were actually someone this romantic. The lady that catches Brother Tang’s heart will be very blessed.”

Tang Doudou smiled slightly. This Lin Shuxuan really was a social flower. No matter what she said, he had a way to continue the conversation naturally.

During this time, several new couples had already successfully formed. As Tang Doudou watched those men smiled with foolish grins on their faces as they hugged the embroidered balls, she started feeling vexed. If things went on like this, how long would it take for her to finally find Baili Yu?

“That’s right, Brother Tang, speaking of strange occurrences in Hibiscus Garrison, I recalled another strange thing. Is Brother Tang interested in hearing it?” Lin Shuxuan was facing the tall stage but he had been keeping an eye on Tang Doudou’s expression this entire time. When he saw her vexed expression, he immediately tried to find a new and interesting topic.

“A strange thing? It couldn’t be that someone saw a ghost, right?” Tang Doudou suppressed her feeling of frustration and responded with a smile.

When Lin Shuxuan saw that she seemed interested, he smiled as well. “Although no one saw a ghost, the rumors were similar.”

“Oh? Then please tell me in detail.”

“So three months ago…”

When Tang Doudou heard that it took place three months ago, her heart leapt and she nervously picked up the cup to take a sip before asking, “Was it something that happened three months earlier?”

“En, it was about three months ago. For some reason, someone’s wrist was slit in the middle of the night. Apparently, the person it was done to said that he hadn’t felt anything. It wasn’t until he woke up in the morning that he found out there was a wound on his wrist and that the blood had been stopped with an extremely high quality hemostatic.

“Brother Tang, don’t you agree that this matter is strange?”

Tang Doudou said, “It’s very likely that it was a person doing it though? If it was a person, then there’s nothing strange about it. There are plenty of unorthodox practitioners on the Jianghu. They were probably collecting the blood to cultivate some dark technique. It’s fortunate that this person seems to have some conscience and took the trouble to stop the bleeding after collecting the blood. I heard that there were a lot of people who were so crazy as to suck a person completely dry.”

“Haa, Brother Tang, if that were really the case, why would I bring this incident up?” Lin Shuxuan tapped his fan on his palm in a mysterious way.

“There’s more to it?”

“Of course. After that person woke up and saw that his injury had already stopped bleeding, he stopped worrying about it. However, the next day, there was another injury right next to that first injury… This repeated for several dozen days until that person’s body was filled with wounds and he had no more blood in his body!” Lin Shuxuan chuckled. “How’s that? Strange enough?”

It was strange. Tang Doudou remarked in surprise, “So that person wasn’t doing it out of good intentions. He had planned from the very start to keep getting fresh blood from that man?”
