âYou say that Iâm not myself? Then who am I?â A dangerous and eerie voice that seemed to have come from a devil spilled out from Jun Xinâs mouth. The antique lamp hung at his waist, its faint blue light flickering softly.
Mu Ye didnât speak. The person in front of him was too difficult to see through. His dangerous unpredictability was comparable with Baili Yu.
When Jun Xin saw that Mu Ye wasnât speaking, he slowly licked his lips before saying in a low and hoarse voice, âI donât want to kill you, you should leave.â
The sound of his words hung in the air. Mu Ye looked deeply at him, a trace of fear in his cold eyes. Then his eyes turned even colder as he said, âI will be back.â
Without waiting for Jun Xinâs response, his black robe lifted and he disappeared into the endless night like an owl.
Jun Xinâs figure moved slightly as if to chase after him. However, he abruptly stopped and turned to glance towards Bai Courtyard. The blue light of the antique lamp flickered and the chilling aura around him receded like the tide. He leaped down softly. By the time he reached the ground, he was back to his usual wanton and unrestrained personality as he swaggered towards Bai Courtyard.
He had just reached the entrance of Bai Courtyard when Tang Doudou, who was rushing out, ran straight into him.
âWhy are you running so fast? Getting chased by a ghost?â He lifted his brows as he looked down at Tang Doudou who had run into his chest.
Tang Doudou covered her hurting nose and said, âDa fudge!? Why didnât you dodge? Owww! My nose is practically about to fall off!â
Jun Xin humphed disdainfully. âWhy should I have dodged instead of you moving out of the way?â
âBecause I canât react in time, donât you know!?â This little kid seriously couldnât live a day without angering her. It was too hateful!
âMoron.â Jun Xin wound around her, pillowing his head with his arms as he walked into Bai Courtyard. âWhy are you looking for me?â
Tang Doudou only recalled that she was here to find him when he brought this up. She slapped her head, then wiggled her butt to catch up with him. âI wanted to ask you if you have any free time lately.â
âDo I look like Iâm busy?â
She just knew that he was here âcause he had free time. Tang Doudou laughed âheheâ, then said, âIf youâre not busy, could you help me with something?â
âSpeak.â
Brat, youâre sure presumptuous!
Tang Doudou silently criticized him in her heart. Jun Xin has been becoming more and more unbridled lately, now even his words seemed to have firecrackers attached!
âItâs like this. I might have to head out for a bit...â
Before she even finished speaking, Jun Xin interrupted her. âYou canât!â
âYou, I-, I havenât even finished saying it. Canât you hear me out first?â
âYou donât need to finish it. Iâm not going to let you go out.â
âWhy?â
âThereâs no reason. Just behave and stay in Huai City!â
âNo way! I still have to deal with the matter of the Demonic Sect. What can I do while staying in Huai City?â Jun Xinâs tyrannical tone irritated Tang Doudou. It was enough that he didnât want to help, but he even wanted to order her around?
When she thought up to this point, Tang Doudou decided not to waste any more words with Jun Xin. She glared at his back and said, âIf you wonât help, then so be it. Humph!â
Jun Xin stopped walking, his black hair billowed wildly in the wind. The atmosphere was strangely tense as he said, âIâll help you deal with the Demonic Sect.â
âTch. Would you be able to deal with it well?â Tang Doudou gave a disdainful humph.
âNo matter how badly I handle it, it would still be better than any of your stupid ideas.â Jun Xin slightly lowered his eyes and looked at Tang Doudouâs scowling face. She seemed very vexed.
When she heard him say this, her little face puffed up like a delicate steamed bun.
âMany thanks for your good intentions, great Young Master Jun. This Alliance Head doesnât need it!â No matter how stupid the idea was, it was her idea. At the very least, it was better than being ridiculed by this brat.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Moreover, didnât Mu Ye say that he would withdraw the Demonic Sectâs forces if she agreed to marry him? She could make use of this. She could agree for now and make other plans once Mu Ye dispersed the Demonic Sectâs forces.
When Tang Doudouâs thoughts got to this point, she once again started cursing the person who was going around poisoning people with the Disseminating Tassel Fragrance.
What exactly did that person want!?
âRefusing to admit a mistake wonât solve the problem. You canât even fool me with those little schemes of yours, yet youâre hoping to fool Mu Ye? Arenât you just dreaming in the middle of the day?â Jun Xinâs mouth was merciless. Every sentence attacked Tang Doudouâs knees like nails and she was practically about to kneel down to him.
Da fudge? But after thinking about it closely, Tang Doudou came to realize that what he said made sense.
And so she became distressed again. What should she do now?
There was no way she could follow through with Bai Feiyunâs earlier suggestion and just go raid the Demonic Sect, right?
Suddenly, Tang Doudouâs eyes lit up with an idea. Without paying attention to Jun Xin, whose expression was full of disdain, she rushed happily towards the guest rooms of the courtyard.
She was always bustling like the wind, not at all lady-like.
Jun Xin had a sour expression on his face as he moved his sleeve away from his face after the dust had settled. His gaze was dark, but traces of gentleness were present as he looked in the direction Tang Doudou had gone in. Was she going to ask Golden Wind Jade Dew for help?
It wasnât a bad choice. Though Golden Wind Jade Dewâs martial arts were not the best of the best, they were the best of the top quality experts. There werenât many people at their level that were a match for them. As long as Mu Ye and the Protectors didnât make a move, theyâd have no trouble dealing with the Demonic Sect.
However, he had a feeling that Tang Doudouâs idea was definitely different from his.
Tang Doudou soon returned. The proud smile on her face was so bright it dazzled.
When she saw that Jun Xin was still standing there, she immediately lifted her chin and walked towards Jun Xin. However, she didnât stop in front of him, but gave a light humph and rammed into his shoulder as she walked past.
If it was a different person acting that arrogantly, Jun Xin would have already beaten the person to death.
âStop.â In the end, Jun Xin wasnât able to keep silent. He was worried that she would do something that couldnât be remedied.
Tang Doudou simply went âtchâ without paying attention to him. Hell, the only reason she had fawned upon him like he was some big master earlier was for the sake of asking him a favor. He refused to help, yet still wanted her to fawn over him? No way!
Thinking thus, she left without turning back.
