Chapter 484 (1/2)

”She's dead.” Unexpected, this was He Xiaoqin's response.

Tang Doudou was confused and wanted to ask more about it, but He Xiaoqin started talking about everything that happened after.

The following events were too unbelievable, so she soon forgot about this question.

Bai Feiyun, who had walked out, hadn't gone very far away. He leaned against the door and listened for a while before slowly leaving.

After about two hours, Tang Doudou finally got to know everything that had happened. However, since there were a lot of things that not even He Xiaoqin was clear about, it brought up a lot of questions.

Bai Feiyun had returned as well. With a lift of his hands, he made the needles come back out. Following that, he said to Tang Doudou, ”I found two horses. Should we leave now or wait for a while longer?”

Of course they should leave now. They had already wasted nearly four hours. With how fast Su Yi was, this was enough time for him to get extremely far away. If they didn't chase after him now, they probably wouldn't be able to find him before getting to Huai City.

The scary thought was that if Su Yi hadn't gone to Huai City, then it probably meant that he had gone to Cloud City!

It had always been hard to guess what he was thinking, like the fact that he had clearly killed Nangong Yan, but he had He Xiaoqin carry Nangong Yan back and hand her to Baili Yu.

He Xiaoqin still hadn't woken up. According to Bai Feiyun, this method left some side effects, so it took a good sleep to recover. He paid the inn for half a month's housing and left some banknotes next to He Xiaoqin. When he saw that Tang Doudou finally looked less worried, he brought the horses over and they started rushing towards Huai City.

On the way there, they didn't speak much and just focused on getting there as quickly as possible. After three entire days, they saw a scrap of little Jiangfeng 's clothing by a firepit next to the road. The ashes were still warm, which showed that Su Yi had been here just a while ago. They soon caught him in Limestone Garrison, buying new clothes for little Jiangfeng .

When Su Yi saw them, he was stunned for a moment before he said with a laugh, ”Hey, you're finally here!”

Then he turned around and ran!

Bai Feiyun moved in a flash to block Su Yi's way and tried to snatch little Jiangfeng back, but although his martial arts were pretty good, he wasn't a match for Su Yi. Su Yi quickly dodge Bai Feiyun's snatches, then ran off while shouting, ”Stinkin' girl, if you want your son, go to Huai City to find Baili Yu!”

These words sealed their course in stone. It seemed they had to go to Huai City!

Tang Doudou was still a little hesitant. She glanced over at Bai Feiyun and saw that he had jumped onto the horse to head out of the garrison.

The meaning was clear. Even if they had to go to Huai City, he would go. He would do whatever it took to get little Jiangfeng back.

It was another ten days of traveling. When Tang Doudou saw the familiar gates of Huai City, her eyes reddened and she couldn't help but cry.

Bai Feiyun jumped off his horse and helped her off her horse.

The two of them walked towards the city. However, when they reached the city gates, they were immediately stopped by the soldiers guarding the city gates.

The soldiers took in their travel-worn appearances, then took out a portrait and compared their looks against it for half the day before finally letting them in.

After getting inside the city, Tang Doudou finally allowed her confusion to show and she asked Bai Feiyun quietly, ”Why did the court put out arrest orders for Xi Qiuyue and Bai Lianhua?”

Bai Lianhua was Bai Feiyun's cousin, so she thought that he would know something, but he shook his head. ”During that time, the imperial court and the Jianghu was a mess. I don't know what happened.”

Tang Doudou nodded, then started looking around. The streets were the same as always, and she was still walking with Bai Feiyun on the familiar streets. It was just that it was no longer the same time as back then, when Bai Feiyun first took her around to help her get familiar with this place. The scenery was the same, the people were the same, but her feelings were now completely different.

She was walking very quickly. Her impatience was obvious. She soon reached the alliance head residence. When passing by, she glanced inside and seemed to see a familiar person addressing his subordinates. Her lips lifted, then she quickly walked on.

Xiao Siyuan, who was currently handing out instructions, seemed to sense something. When he saw that familiar figure pass by the door, his heart leaped and he hastily ran outside, but there was already no one there. He couldn't help but wonder if he had hallucinated that.

”Alliance Head, He gongzi still hasn't been found. Perhaps…” said the subordinate next to Xiao Siyuan carefully.

Xiao Siyuan shook his head. ”The situation back then was complicated, but I saw that he had been taken away by someone so he's definitely fine. When I have time, I'll go to North Hara City to take a look. He had lived there for many years, so I'm sure that if he had the chance, he'd go back there…”

After saying that, he gave a melancholic sigh and walked back into the residence.

Tang Doudou watched as he headed back in, then had Bai Feiyun bring her down to the ground again. ”It looks like Siyuan suits this position very well.”

Bai Feiyun didn't say anything. Tang Doudou knew that he wasn't interested in these things, so she continued heading towards Plum Garden with him.
