Chapter 469: The Truth (2/2)

He quickly landed and looked around, then his gaze landed on the place where Tang Doudou had been lying earlier.

He walked over quickly and found that there were several scraps of cloth on the grass. He recognized the fabric as the clothes Tang Doudou had been wearing. When he looked around, he spotted jade in the nearby underbrush.

Wasn’t that Tang Doudou’s alliance head command tablet?

After falling from such a high height, the mysterious tablet had already shattered into several pieces.

These were enough to confirm that Tang Doudou had fallen here. But where was she?

Could it be that she was fine and had left herself?

That wasn’t possible. In order to accurately find Tang Doudou, he had jumped down straight from where Tang Doudou had fallen. As he fell, he felt like the air was ripping him apart. He was only able to land steady due to using inner strength to slow his descent when he almost reached the bottom.

This entire matter was strange and Tang Doudou had also mysteriously disappeared. This fact made Baili Yu calm down. After thinking through the entire sequence of events, he concluded that Tang Doudou had probably been taken away by someone!

Everything had been part of an intricate plan from the start. Every step had been in someone’s control.

Could it be Lan Jia?

That wasn’t possible. He had been keeping an eye on Lan Jia this entire time. There was no way that he could’ve done this.

Baili Yu put the jade tablet away, then looked around before leaving the cliff.

He had to go back and send people to search this entire cliff again. The person that took Tang Doudou had to have left some traces!

Su Yi, who had gotten impatient from waiting in Treasure Sea Manor was just about to leave when he saw Baili Yu jump over the wall with a solemn expression.

He didn’t seem to be in too bad of a mood, so Su Yi went up curiously to ask, “How is it? Did you find the girl?”

Baili Yu glanced at him, then told him the situation he had found.

“Someone has taken her?”

“I’ve already sent people to search.” Baili Yu sat down and quietly sorted through his thoughts before looking toward Su Yi again. “City Lord Su, there’s one matter that I’d like you to answer me honestly.”

“Just ask!” Su Yi’s eyes whirled with a thought when he found out that Tang Doudou had been taken away by someone.

Baili Yu glanced at him again. “I want to know who exactly Bai Feiyun is.”

“Feiyun?” Su Yi looked at him in confusion. “Is this matter related to him?”

“I suspect that he’s the one that took Tang Doudou away.” Baili Yu told Su Yi straightforwardly what he was thinking.

Su Yi snorted disdainfully. “Feiyun has been with the four large clans helping all these last couple of…”

“Master!” Just as Su Yi was retorting this, Ye Chuan rushed in and bowed towards Baili Yu before reporting, “Bai Feiyun isn’t in the city lord’s residence!”

Baili Yu nodded. “Continue keeping an eye on that place. Have Feng Long head out with a team to find Bai Feiyun’s whereabouts!”

“Understood!”

“It really is Feiyun?” Su Yi watched as Ye Chuan left, then turned towards Baili Yu, unwilling to accept this reality.

Baili Yu glanced at him. “Whether it is or not, we’ll know once we find him.”

“That doesn’t make sense!” Su Yi scratched his ear. He had pretty much watched over Bai Feiyun since his childhood. How could Bai Feiyun do something like this?

“It seemed that City Lord Su doesn’t understand your own subordinate that well either.” Baili Yu looked towards the distance. Ever since he came to the conclusion that Bai Feiyun was the one that had taken Tang Doudou away, he started feeling very uneasy. However, he himself wasn’t sure what it was that was making him so uneasy.

Su Yi sat down. After hesitation for a long while, he asked, “Feiyun, he…”

“Bai Feiyun and Gu Xun are actually the same person, right?” asked Baili Yu suddenly.

Su Yi was taken aback for a moment. Strange light flashed through his eyes. “Is this your guess, or something that turned up in your investigation?”

“I had guessed it after what happened in Hibiscus Garrison. Afterwards, I sent people to investigate and confirmed the fact that Bai Feiyun and Gu Xun were one and the same.” Baili Yu lifted his hand to reveal the broken jade tablet.

“After coming back from Cerulean Mountain, Doudou had fallen unconscious. Bai Feiyun had used a secret technique to wake Doudou up and tried to get the alliance head command tablet in your name.

“Then he killed Xiao Ren and Xiao Yi in Azure Water Valley and stole the thing hidden in the library.

“Not long later, he poisoned Doudou and almost made her lose her child.”

As Baili Yu listed all of Bai Feiyun’s doings, Su Yi’s facial color gradually turned grim. “He had probably attacked Doudou because he heard me talk to myself about the fact that Doudou wasn’t Xueyi.

“He has always liked Xueyi, but Xueyi never had feelings for him from the start. That’s why, after you appeared, I hadn’t thought much about it. Since the girl liked you, I decided to just fulfill you two. Before that, I had also asked him about it and he said that he was willing to follow Doudou’s decision…”

“He was thinking that way before.” Baili Yu interrupted Su Yi’s words and placed another item on the table. “However, he was misled by Lan Jia and became sure that Doudou wasn’t Li Xueyi, so he did the following things to find the true Li Xueyi. He never expected that these things had ended exposing his and Gu Xun’s identities.”
