Chapter 194.1: Appearance of An Antidote
Baili Yu replied with a smile, “What, you’re not afraid of Master anymore?”
“When have I ever been afraid of him!? That loathsome old guy! Sooner or later I’ll pluck his beard off! He’s always locking me up on the island and he never lets me out!” Nangong Yan pouted as she walked towards Baili Yu. In the manner of a spoilt child, she moved to grab Baili Yu’s arm but ended up missing.
“Senior Brother…” A trace of disappointment flashed through her eyes as she looked towards the figure that had appeared next to the window. However, immediately afterward it was replaced by an even more brilliant smile. She retrieved her hands, seeming unaffected, and said, “Won’t you bring me out to play?”
“I’m not Master, and you’re not a child anymore. If you want to go play somewhere, then go on your own. Don’t keep looking for me every day, your family’s Sister-in-Law will get jealous.” Although there was a smile on Baili Yu’s face, the words he said made it hard for the listener to keep the smile on her face.
Nangong Yan was so angered that her teeth itched, but her ability to act was much greater than that of normal people, hence not a trace of envy could be seen in her gaze. All that her eyes contained was curiosity. “Senior Brother, what exactly does my Sister-in-Law look like? Why hasn’t she come visit even though you’ve already been in Cloud City for so long?”
“Children shouldn’t wonder about so much.”
He had said just earlier that she wasn’t a child anymore, yet now he was saying that children shouldn’t wonder about so much… Nangong Yan felt another stab from the thorn in her heart. Just because she wasn’t that person, no matter what she did, in Senior Brother’s eyes it was incorrect and wrong!
“Senior Brother, you’re too biased!” Although this was the case, Nangong Yan still didn’t get angry. She simply grumbled with a smile and then called for the subordinate that had come with her before skipping out the door.
After she left, Baili Yu’s gaze immediately darkened. Earlier, Su Yi and all the others were there. Why was Tang Doudou the only one that wasn’t there?
Was it that something had happened to her, or was it that Su Yi had hidden her away?
His thoughts ran rampant. He really itched to just barge into Su Yi’s house and beat him up until he handed the person over.
However…
A genuine smile appeared on Baili Yu’s face. If he really did that, how was he supposed to marry that girl?
Although she was heartless and always shouted at Su Yi without any sense of propriety, she had still been raised single-handed by Su Yi. She had lost both parents when she was just a child, so Su Yi was her only family member.
Since he wanted to marry her, he naturally had to follow the customs. There was no way he could allow her to suffer any grievances.
Baili Yu daydreamed happily. He had no idea that the person he wanted to keep in the palm of his hand and carefully cherish was currently struggling against death and that the person who had caused this was his Junior Sister, Nangong Yan.
“It finally receded!”
Su Yi, who had busied for half the night, plopped his butt down on the doorstep. After he heard Cang Baicao say that the fever had receded, he couldn’t bring himself to move anymore. He gave a long sigh and refused to get back up.
The others weren’t in any better condition. Most of the time they were waited upon by others. When had they ever worked so hard to take care of someone else?
“Senior Cang, you should go rest!”
Bai Feiyun and Su Yi both counted as youngsters and had pretty good physical and mental stamina. However, Cang Baicao seemed like he had aged several years over the course of this one night. Bai Feiyun saw that he could barely keep his eyes open any more as he stood there. From the looks of it, he was about to fall asleep.
“No, I have to watch a little longer. Although the fever is gone, another problem seems to have appeared. You can’t handle this!” Cang Baicao did his best to make himself alert again. He splashed his face with cold water, then took out a medicinal pill and ate it. Afterwards, he sat down and closed his eyes to rest for a while.
When Su Yi heard that there was another problem, he hastily climbed up from the doorstep. “Old Cang, t-there’s another problem? What problem?”
“Don’t make such a ruckus. It’s not a big problem, it’s just something I’m a bit puzzled by!” Cang Baicao waved his hand, indicating for Su Yi not to panic.
Su Yi calmed down when he heard that it wasn’t a big problem. He gazed at Tang Doudou quietly for a while.
A person suddenly appeared outside the door.
“City Lord!”
The person that came bowed respectfully and saluted Su Yi. From the looks of it, he was Su Yi’s subordinate.
As expected, when Su Yi saw him, he knitted his brows and asked, “Have you captured the person?”
“I haven’t!”
“You haven’t? Then what did you come back for?” scolded Su Yi, irritated.
That person exposed a troubled expression without speaking.
Since it was his subordinate, Su Yi naturally knew his personality and said in an annoyed tone, “If you have something to say, just say it. Don’t dawdle!”
Only then did that person say, “Replying City Lord, this subordinate has already found out where that person is! It’s just that I don’t dare to rashly act.”
“Which family’s?” The fact that he didn’t dare to act was definitely due to apprehensions about where that person was. There were only a few people that had the desire to kill Tang Doudou and could cause his subordinates to be wary.
The next words the subordinate said caused him to be taken aback. He was not the only one surprised, even Bai Feiyun and Cang Baicao looked over with shock, thinking that the subordinate had misspoken.
That person moved his lips and hesitated for a good while before he said, “It’s Propitious Clouds Inn! When Baili Yu came yesterday, he had reserved the entire inn!”

Chapter 194.2: Appearance of An Antidote
“You’re saying that the criminal is one of Baili Yu’s subordinates?” Su Yi still couldn’t believe it, after all, this matter was too strange. How could it be possible that Baili Yu wanted to kill Tang Doudou?
“This subordinate truly did see that person enter Propitious Clouds Inn without coming back out!”
When Su Yi saw that he seemed to be telling the truth, he furrowed his brows, then waved his hand. “You can withdraw. Continue observing Propitious Clouds Inn! Immediately report back if there are any abnormalities!”
“Understood!”
After that subordinate left, Cang Baicao immediately asked, “What exactly is going on? How did this girl get injured? Where did she get injured?”
He hadn’t had the time to ask these questions when Su Yi brought Tang Doudou over yesterday. Now that circumstances were revealed to be unusual, he immediately asked about it.
Bai Feiyun also looked towards Su Yi with a curious expression.
Su Yi took a while to think, seeming to also be a little confused. “After I finished handling the matters and returned yesterday, I saw that this girl had collapsed in a pool of blood. I didn’t have time think about anything else and immediately brought her here. By the time it occurred to me to look for who did it, it was already too late. Not only were there no hidden guards in the City Lord Residence, even if there were, the person would have already gotten far away in that time!”
“And then?” Bai Feiyun saw that he still had more to say and urged him on.
Su Yi continued, “Then, last night, Baili Yu came…”
“How did he find this place!?” Cang Baicao became even more curious. It was Baili Yu’s first time here after all!
Su Yi waved his hand and indicated for him to listen. “He said that someone had gone to Propitious Clouds Inn to cause a ruckus. Afterwards, he followed that person here to find Feng Wu.”
“However, Feng Wu said that she didn’t send anyone to trouble Baili Yu, so we guessed that it was likely done by that perpetrator. Hence, I sent someone to follow the person. It was completely unexpected that the perpetrator was also Baili Yu’s subordinate…”
“Could it be that all of this was a play Baili Yu put on by himself?” Bai Feiyun felt that this was very possible. Although it was said that Baili Yu had caused an upheaval in the country in order to find Tang Doudou, no one could truly see through that person’s heart or understand his motives.
Su Yi also had this thought, so he said, “No matter what, you guys need to help me treat this girl first. As for Baili Yu’s side, I’ll personally go see what’s going on!”
That was all that they could do right now.
Su Yi got up and was about to leave, but Cang Baicao called for him to stop, then pulled him outside the room.
“What is it?” Su Yi was completely confused by his actions.
Cang Baicao glanced inside the room at Bai Feiyun, then drew close to Su Yi’s ear and asked in a small voice, “Do you feel like this is something that the Seven Great Saint Tribes did?”
“A person of the Saint Tribes would dare enter Cloud City? Are you joking with me?” Rather than say it had been done by the Seven Great Saint Tribes, it would be more probable to say it was done by Baili Yu!
Cang Baicao said, “I suddenly remembered why the technique Feiyun had used seemed familiar.”
He had first talked about the Seven Great Saint Tribes, and now he had switched to talking about Bai Feiyun. Su Yi wasn’t a fool, he immediately realized the link between the two topics. However, he couldn’t think of any possible link Bai Feiyun would have to the Saint Tribes no matter how he wracked his brain.
“Heh, don’t start making random guesses. I was just a little curious whether the person that injured the girlie was really Baili Yu’s subordinate. If it really was, then that would be worth deliberating.” Cang Baicao stopped the discussion of the earlier topic.
Su Yi was puzzled, however, he immediately realized what was going on when he saw out of the corner of his eye that Bai Feiyun was walking over. “That’s right, I’m really curious as well. However, if it really was that stinkin’ brat who did this, this daddy won’t let him off!”
“I feel that this matter is probably unrelated to Baili gongzi.” Bai Feiyun walked over to share his opinion. From his reaction, he didn’t seem to have heard what Cang Baicao said earlier.
His words were also irrefutable. Everyone present knew that there was no way Baili Yu would kill Tang Doudou.
Why?
Because he was poisoned with the Hoarfrost Poison and Tang Doudou was the only one that could cure it.
The only way he would kill Tang Doudou was if he had already decided that he didn’t want to live anymore.
Su Yi gave a long sigh. “From the looks of it, we can only wait for Xueyi to wake up.”
“I’m afraid that’ll be too late,” said Bai Feiyun. “Her injury will take at least half a month to heal. Does City Lord feel like the people that came to the city would be able to wait that long?”
However, Su Yi didn’t care about that at all. He swung his hand out in an arc, then clasped his hands behind his back as he walked out. “Humph! If they can’t wait that long then they should hurry and scram!”
It was unknown what he planned to do again.
Cang Baicao entered the room. Bai Feiyun stood in place and thought for a while. Some abnormal emotions seemed to surface in his eyes but were soon repressed again. He followed Cang Baicao back in. “Senior Cang, earlier you said that there was another problem with Alliance Head Li. Feiyun had carefully examined her earlier but didn’t find anything. Wonder…”
“Didn’t find anything? Then did you find the Disseminating Tassel Fragrance in her body?” Although Cang Baicao harbored suspicions about Bai Feiyun’s unique medical technique, he still thought highly of him and wanted to guide him.
When Bai Feiyun was prompted like this, he immediately knitted his brows. He recalled the earlier pulse situation and said hesitantly, “I don’t seem to have felt it…”
“That’s right ah! It’s gone!” said Cang Baicao with a laugh as he pointed at Tang Doudou. “The Disseminating Tassel Fragrance is gone! Doesn’t that count as a huge problem?”
Bai Feiyun finally understood and he asked, “What exactly is going on?”
Cang Baicao sighed and shook his head. His tone was frustrated. “That’s why I said that I couldn’t understand it! Why would the Disseminating Tassel Fragrance disappear…”
However, an excited light flashed through Bai Feiyun’s eyes as if he had thought of something. His voice was excited as well. “Perhaps, the antidote to the Disseminating Tassel Fragrance has already appeared in this world!”
