Chapter 198.1: Have a Leg with Him
Currently, all that could be seen was that a crowd of middle-aged uncles and aunts were emerging from the street she had just left and were chasing crazily after her. They were even continuously shouting as they ran.
“Xueyi ah! When you were little weren’t you always making a fuss about wanting to marry my family’s Er Danzi!?”
“Xueyi ah, I’m Gou Yazi’s uncle ah! Why didn’t you come visit my house even though you’ve come back!? That way you and Gou Yazi can reminisce a little ah!”
“Little Xueyi, you and my family’s…”
Lord Heavens ah! Tang Doudou was stupefied, alright!?
Weren’t these people a little too terrifying!? What second egg(Er Danzi), dog teeth(Gou Yazi)… Seriously!
“Looks like we won’t be able to play today. I had better bring you back!” Feng Wu was pretty speechless as well. In the past when they didn’t know that Xueyi was a girl, though these people didn’t hate her, they still didn’t like her that much. Now that they found out she was a girl and was looking for a husband, these people became so energetic it was as if they had been injected with chicken blood.
“Yes yes yes!” When Tang Doudou heard Feng Wu’s suggestion, she hastily nodded in agreement.
Feng Wu smiled. She reached out to grab Tang Doudou and jumped towards the rooftop. Unexpected, they had just started flying when she saw someone out of the corner of her eye and stumbled. She and Tang Doudou fell from the sky with a ‘thud’ into the courtyard next to the street.
“Aiyoh!” This fall almost caused Tang Doudou to lose half her life. Luckily, she had fallen into the courtyard’s flowerbed. However, Feng Wu’s situation was tragic. She had fallen directly onto the hard floor and was lying there facedown without a sound.
“Big Sister Feng Wu!” Tang Doudou’s heart started pounding uneasily when she didn’t hear Feng Wu make any sounds. She thought Feng Wu had died from the fall and hastily ran over. “Are you alright!?”
When she helped Feng Wu up, she discovered that the person was fine. The person just didn’t dare look at her out of embarrassment.
What was going on?
A trace of confusion flashed through Tang Doudou’s eyes. She clearly didn’t understand why Feng Wu was doing this.
Feng Wu said embarrassedly, “Sorry ah, little Xueyi, I was too stirred up earlier and fell because I lost control. Are you alright?”
This was solid ground ah!
Just tripping on it would cause pain for several days. Wasn’t it a little too awesome to be completely fine despite falling from so high up?
“I’m also fine. I used inner strength to prop myself up as I was about to land so I didn’t actually hit the ground,” explained Feng Wu.
Tang Doudou loosened a breath of relief. So it was like that.
However, immediately afterward, a question emerged in her heart. Feng Wu was so good at martial arts, how could she possibly lose control?
Moreover, she had seen her expression turn strange earlier. However, before she could ask, the two of them had already started falling.
En. Feng Wu was definitely hiding something from her.
After Tang Doudou came to that conclusion, she didn’t immediately ask more questions but looked around first. She found that there was already someone walking over.
It was to be expected. Anyone would come out and look if two unknown objects had fallen from the sky into their own courtyard.
This didn’t look to be too big of a problem since the person that came out was actually Murong Yu.
That’s not right ah!
Wasn’t the Murong family neighbors with Cang Baicao?
How did it end up on this street?
For a moment, Tang Doudou’s brain got stuck on this question and she even forgot to pull Feng Wu and leave. In the blink of an eye, Murong Yu had reached them. When he saw that it was her, he immediately furrowed his brows. “Why are you here?”
Then he glanced at Feng Wu and asked, “Who is she?”
Tang Doudou propped up her cheek, noticing the strangeness in Murong Yu’s question.
First of all, what he should be asking someone that had somehow got in was: how did you get in?
Next, towards her, a person he itched to kill, the question should be something like: what did you come here for!?
Yet it had been neither. He had said: why are you here?
It gave off the impression that they were very familiar with each other and it was a familiarity that had to be kept secret from others.
“Why aren’t you saying anything?” Murong Yu asked impatiently when he saw her in a daze. He swept another glance over Feng Wu before saying to Tang Doudou, “Come with me.”
Fudge, it seemed like her guess had hit the mark!
She had a leg with Murong Yu? (have a leg = affair)
Wait, no, it’s Li Xueyi that had a leg with him!
Then now there was a problem.
Should she go, or should she not go?
“You should go.” Although Murong Yu didn’t recognize Feng Wu, Feng Wu knew him. This scene also seemed fishy so leaving definitely wouldn’t solve the problem. Feng Wu felt that Li Xueyi might as well go. After all, with her here, no one would be able to do anything to Li Xueyi.
Seeing that Feng Wu had said that and she herself was also very curious, Tang Doudou decided to follow Murong Yu obediently. In the blink of an eye, they disappeared into the little courtyard ahead.

Chapter 198.2: Have a Leg with Him
Feng Wu didn’t immediately follow after them but leaped onto the wall and looked at the people passing through the street. She knitted her brows. Baili Yu hadn’t gone out a single time the past month, how did he end up coincidentally coming out today?
Then she looked at the lively pale yellow figure next to him. That was Nangong Yan?
Was she the one that brought Baili Yu here?
But how did she know that Li Xueyi would head out today?
It couldn’t be that she also had spies at Old Cang’s place?
This wouldn’t do, she had to let Su Yi know as soon as possible.
However, when she recalled that Tang Doudou had gone with Murong Yu, she could only prioritize protecting Tang Doudou from the shadows. Her figure flashed and she dropped down from the roof.
The moment she jumped down, Baili Yu, who was walking on the street, looked up with suspicion towards the roof Feng Wu had been standing on. Who was that earlier, to size him up so audaciously?
“Senior Brother ah! This Cloud City isn’t fun at all. We had better return to Wind Cloud Island!” Nangong Yan casually tossed the little thing she was toying with back towards the vendor stand and pouted as she reached out to grab Baili Yu’s arm.
Baili Yu naturally didn’t let her get close. It was unknown how he moved but his figure instantly moved to another side and Nangong Yan’s hand missed entirely. He spoke slowly with a tone that was neither happy nor angry, “If you don’t feel like it’s fun, then you should just go back.”
“Ah!” Nangong Yan stomped her feet unhappily. “Senior Brother still wants to wait here for that Li Xueyi?”
Baili Yu simply pressed his lips together without speaking.
Nangong Yan then said, “But you’ve already been here half a month yet she hasn’t shown her face a single time! It couldn’t be that she has already been secretly killed by someone?”
“No one would think of you as mute if you didn’t speak!” Baili Yu’s facial color immediately darkened as he threw out this sentence and left.
From the looks of it, there was no way he would leave Cloud City before he got Tang Doudou.
Nangong Yan was so bitter her teeth itched. She clenched her fist inside her sleeve so hard her nails dug into her palm. She had already said this sentence countless times, yet every single time she only got a reply like this.
How could she not be angry? Other people didn’t know but she clearly knew that Li Xueyi had already been killed!
If she wasn’t dead, based on Cang Baicao’s medical expertise, Tang Doudou should have already bounced back out. What need would there have been for Su Yi to find one excuse after another to delay things?
Yet, she couldn’t reveal the truth in order to avoid arousing Senior Brother’s suspicions.
She had no choice but to accompany him in this stupid wait!
She seriously hated this feeling!
If she knew earlier, she would have brought the Ghost Mother with her and had the Ghost Mother eat Li Xueyi after she killed her. She would have liked to see what ideas Su Yi could come up with when there wasn’t even a corpse left.
…
No one would have imagined that an innocent young girl who was at the age of double eights would have such malicious thoughts.
Meanwhile, Tang Doudou had followed Murong Yu to a small courtyard. The entire way, they didn’t even exchange a single word. Murong Yu only spoke after he indicated for her to sit down next to the stone table. “Su Yi didn’t follow you, right?”
Tang Doudou thought about it, then shook her head without speaking.
She didn’t know what exactly was the connection between her and Murong Yu so she felt that it was best to speak as little as possible. Everyone knew that the more you spoke, the more mistakes you’d make.
Murong Yu then asked, “What exactly is he planning this time, to bring so many people into Cloud City? Isn’t he worried about Cloud City’s secrets being exposed? Why haven’t you finished researching the things I asked you to investigate even after so long?”
The string of questions hit Tang Doudou and made question mark after question mark emerge from her head. She had no idea what it was about and no idea how to reply.
She could only shake her head, shake her head, and shake her head again.
As Murong Yu took this in, his anger rushed up all at once. Flinging his sleeves back, he gave a cold humph. “If you don’t know a single thing, then what’s the point of this collaboration? From my point of view, if this is the case we might as well just break this off!”
Tang Doudou was completely baffled. What was that?
Another collaboration?
What could Li Xueyi and Murong Yu collaborate on?
Could it be they were plotting to seize the throne?
That wasn’t right. That didn’t seem right at all. If Li Xueyi wanted to seize the throne, it was a very simple matter!
Moreover, Su Yi looked as if he’d rather die than be City Lord. If she truly wanted to be City Lord, he’d probably immediately throw the position over to her and go off to wander the world.
When Murong Yu saw that she still wasn’t willing to speak, he became even angrier and hit the table and kicked the chairs. Finally, he pointed a finger at Tang Doudou’s nose and said, “Li Xueyi! What exactly are you trying to do!?”
I’m freaking not trying to do anything ah!
Tang Doudou really wanted to say that, but when she saw how Murong Yu was on the brink of losing it, she carefully said, “Um, Murong gongzi is misunderstanding me. I just wanted to…”
Before she even finished speaking, Murong Yu fell to his knees in front of her. Tang Doudou was dumbstruck!
Jesus ah, was she still dreaming?
Something even more unexpected happened.
Murong Yu, who had always been aloof in front of others, knelt in front of her as tears and snot streamed down his face. He cried extremely sorrowfully, “I just want to get away from this damned place. Why can’t I do it? Why can’t I? So what if I’m number one in the world? I don’t even have freedom, what was the point of coming here! Xueyi, help me! Help me leave this damned place, alright?”
At the end, he seemed to beseech her almost crazily. He grabbed Tang Doudou’s hand tightly. His gaze which was filled with yearning also contained hatred in its depths. “Back then, if it weren’t for your master, I wouldn’t have come to this damned place! It’s been an entire fifteen years! How many fifteen years exist in one’s lifetime!? I’m begging you. In light of the fact that I helped you block a sword back then, please help me! Once you help me leave, I’ll give that thing to you! Haven’t you been searching for it a long time? I’m telling you I know where that thing is. As long as you help me, I’ll immediately tell you, alright!?”
Murong Yu shook Tang Doudou’s shoulders madly. Tang Doudou was so shocked by his words that she couldn’t even speak. Damned place… Was he talking about Cloud City?
Cloud City counted as a damned place?
Fifteen years, no freedom, block a sword, that thing, searching…
Everything seemed to plunge into unintelligible mist again. Not even Tang Doudou could figure out how many secrets this body contained.
Just as she was in the middle of trying to make some sense of all of this, Murong Yu suddenly calmed down again. He laughed self-mockingly and released her shoulders as he sat back down dispiritedly. His faint bitterness-filled voice drifted into Tang Doudou’s ears. “What’s the use in begging you? You can’t leave either…”
