Chapter 458: Her Identity (1/2)
”Su Yi! Why were you following us? And why did you launch a sneak attack on me last time?” shouted Tang Doudou as she ran over. She ducked behind Baili Yu and peeked out warily at Su Yi, who had stopped attacking.
Su Yi glanced at the mask that Baili Yu had pulled off, then laughed. ”Why?”
Tang Doudou looked at him strangely. ”That's right, why?”
However, Su Yi just turned to peer at her. ”Of course it's because of you.”
”Me?” Tang Doudou pointed at herself. ”What about me do you mean?”
Su Yi humphed haughtily without explaining, then his gaze turned towards Baili Yu. ”Alright, out with it. Why did you seek me out?”
When Tang Doudou heard this, she looked towards Baili Yu curiously as well. She had only recalled now that Baili Yu had insisted on coming all the way here to lure Su Yi out. Could it be that he really did have something to talk to Su Yi about?
This meant that he knew from the start that it was Su Yi following them?
The more she thought about it, the more possible this seemed and her expression became strange as she looked at Baili Yu. ”That's right, why were you looking for this old brat? He attacked me from the shadows before and almost killed me. You're not going to make him pay for that?”
Baili Yu pulled her to his side, then looked towards Su Yi with a smile. ”City Lord Su, this is precisely the matter I sought you out about.”
Tang Doudou was surprised. She hadn't expected Baili Yu to have gone through all that trouble just for this.
”D-don't, let's just forget it. Big evil spirit, even though this old brat was a little weird about what he did last time, he had saved my life before and treats me really well…” Tang Doudou hastily tried to stop Baili Yu. In reality, she didn't actually hold things against Su Yi. Back then, when she was injured by Nangong Yan in Cloud City, if it weren't for Su Yi's efforts, she would already be dead.
The later events hadn't really harmed her. She was just curious about why Su Yi had done those things.
However, Su Yi reacted with astonishment when he heard what she said. ”When did I ever attack you?”
Then he bellowed, ”You're such a heartless absolutely disgraceful thing! This daddy had helped you so much, but you actually dared to frame this daddy! A sneak attack? It should be you guys launching a sneak attack on this daddy!
”And now you're even, you're even trying to cry thief first despite being the thief!? Wonderful! Wonderful, wonderful! What wonderful white-eyed wolves!”
He didn't seem to be feigning this indignance. Tang Doudou and Baili Yu shared a glance. Could it be that the person that day hadn't been Su Yi?
There was a chance that Tang Doudou mistook him, but would Baili Yu make the same mistake?
When her thoughts reached this point, she glanced towards Baili Yu with a questioning expression.
This silly girl. She only knew to suspect him. Didn't it occur to her to suspect Su Yi?
Baili Yu said, ”Then this doesn't belong to you, City Lord Su?”
As he spoke, he pulled out a length of red string and lifted it in front of Su Yi.
Su Yi didn't even bother to glance at it before saying, ”It does belong to me, but, I, Su Yi, dare to swear to the Heavens that if this daddy had mounted a sneak attack on this dumb girl, then this daddy will write his name backwards from now on!
”Moreover, if I really wanted to kill this dumb girl, would I even need to use a sneak attack?”
That seemed to make a lot of sense!
Tang Doudou looked towards Baili Yu again.
”Then how does City Lord Su plan to explain what happened today?” asked Baili Yu with a faint smile.
Su Yi choked on his words.
He then said, ”I'm here because I needed to talk to you guys about something.”
”If you need to talk to us, just talk to us. What's with being all sneaky…” muttered Tang Doudou. She was completely confused now. Was Su Yi right or was Baili Yu right?
She definitely trusted Baili Yu more, but whenever she saw Su Yi, she would recall how good he had been to her so it was hard for her to decide who to believe.
Su Yi glowered at her, then pointed at Baili Yu as he shouted, ”This kid's always guarding against me like I'm some thief! This daddy came to look for you so many times but was stopped every time by his people!”
Baili Yu's facial color didn't change. ”City Lord Su has high martial arts. If I wasn't careful and Wife ended up being injured, what is this husband supposed to do?”
Su Yi was so annoyed he was huffing with anger. ”Then why are you looking for me now?”
Tang Doudou looked towards Baili Yu weirdly as well. ”That's right. If you were so wary of this old brat, why did you look for him?”
”For business,” replied Baili Yu briefly. He glanced around, then said, ”City Lord Su has come this time for relative's blood?”
What the heck was relative's blood?
Tang Doudou's eyes widened as she looked curiously towards Su Yi.
