Chapter 227.1: Smashing Her Own Foot
 
She continued observing for a while and became certain that there was something beneath Nangong Yan.

 

She had been wondering why Nangong Yan would be so well-behaved as to continue to sit there crying instead of running away.

So it turned out that it was because she was trying to hide the thing under her butt. But what exactly was it?

Why would she cover it despite the humiliation?

“Hehe, do you see it now?” asked Jun Xin.

“I see it, but I can’t tell what exactly it is.” Although they weren’t very far away, Nangong Yan had concealed it too well. Even though Tang Doudou could see it, she couldn’t make out what it was.

Jun Xin didn’t tell her the answer and simply let her continue watching.

It was unknown how long Nangong Yan had been crying. Her voice had already turned hoarse, so she stopped bawling and started sobbing soundlessly.

However, Tang Doudou still wasn’t seeing the show Jun Xin had promised.

“Where’s the show? The people have already started leaving. Did you make a mistake?”

Jun Xin just shot her a look, then said, “It’s here.”

“What’s here…” Before she even finished speaking, she saw Yu Fenger run down from the boat holding something.

“Big Brother Yu? Does Nangong Yan’s current situation have to do with Big Brother Yu?”

“Stop making random guesses and just wait!” Jun Xin rapped her forehead, then patted her on the head. “Also, don’t get so stirred up. Nangong Yan won’t be able to hurt Yu Fenger.”

She felt him softly patting her head as if he was stroking fur and her expression immediately darkened. Was this guy treating her like a pet?

“Stinkin’ brat, move your hand.” She reached out to push away Jun Xin’s palm but accidentally used too much force. Jun Xin was pushed back and crashed into the branch behind them.

There was a creak, then a crack. Both of their facial colors changed. Before Jun Xin could grab Tang Doudou and leap onto another branch, the branch broke and the two fell into the water.

“Save, save…” She was still traumatized from having almost drowned in Plum Garden. The moment she felt the water, she squeezed her eyes shut and started screaming.

Jun Xin had landed not far from her. Seeing that her voice was making people look over, he hastily went over and covered her mouth. “Stinkin’ woman, stop shouting and look. This water isn’t deep. You won’t drown.”

Even as he spoke, guilt flickered in his eyes. Tang Doudou’s fear of water was his fault. If he had grabbed her sooner that time and hadn’t allowed her to fall into the lotus pond, she probably wouldn’t be like this.

“Mmf… mmff…” After hearing what Jun Xin said, she noticed that the cool sensation only reached her knees and opened her eyes. When she saw that the water was indeed shallow, she let out a breath in relief. She wanted to speak, but her mouth was covered so tightly that it was hard to even breathe.

Jun Xin hastily released her. Shooting her a look, he feigned disdain. “As expected of a woman, you have no guts.”

“Tch, so what if I’m a woman? Do you think all men have the guts of leopards!?” She glowered at Jun Xin as she wrung out her wet skirt and headed towards the shore.

Jun Xin followed her. “Your clothes are all wet, so let’s just head back and get changed?”

“It’s hot today so we can just treat it as cooling off,” replied Tang Doudou casually. Then she no longer paid attention to Jun Xin and walked over to look towards the crowd only to see that Nangong Yan was looking at Yu Fenger with tearful eyes as if she had suffered a great grievance.

Yu Fenger was holding something and crouched down in front of her, trying to persuade her about something. However, Nangong Yan continuously shook her head and seemed to be trying to get Yu Fenger to go away. Although Tang Doudou couldn’t hear what the two were saying, she could tell from their expressions that Nangong Yan’s tone was definitely not polite.

“What are they saying?” She had been watching for a while but still couldn’t figure it out so she could only ask Jun Xin.

Jun Xin smiled and said, “Yu Fenger’s probably telling her to head back first and let Baili Yu help resolve this matter.”

“But what exactly happened to her? She seems to be trying to blow this matter up?”

“Of course she wants to make it big. If she doesn’t, how else could she reveal your true despicable self to the world?” Jun Xin finally said something interesting.

But, how was she involved?

This wasn’t logicial ah!

She hasn’t done anything lately?

“Let’s head over.” She was still puzzled, but Jun Xin had already started pulling her towards the crowd.

Right at this time, Murong Yu and a law enforcement team showed up and rushed in this direction.

Tang Doudou hastily pulled Jun Xin back. “Murong Yu is coming.”

“That’s exactly what Nangong Yan wants and also what we want!” Jun Xin grinned. “Weren’t you curious about what she was sitting on? I’ll tell you now. In a bit, you need to…”

As he spoke, he moved closer to her ear to tell her what she should do.

Tang Doudou couldn’t help but admit respect for Jun Xin after she heard the plan. This was too bloody genius! He was the only one that would be able to think of such a vicious plan!

But, she liked it!

Hehe. Nangong Yan ah, Nangong Yan, this time I’ll let you taste the flavor having the stone you yourself lifted crush your foot!

Chapter 227.2: Smashing Her Own Foot
 
Right after they finished speaking, Murong Yu arrived. When he saw Nangong Yan sitting on the ground in such a pitiful manner, he immediately asked, “Yan er, who bullied you!?”

 

“B-big Brother Murong…”

A trace of joy flashed across Nangong Yan’s face when she saw Murong Yu, but she quickly concealed it with a sob. “Wuwuwu, you have to get justice for Yan er!”

“Yan er, don’t worry and just say it. I’d like to see who has such big nerves as to dare to bully you!” Murong Yu’s righteous indignation made the spectators start whispering amongst themselves. They were discussing whether or not Murong Yu had taken a fancy to Nangong Yan. After all, she was the noble daughter of Wind Cloud Island’s master.

Upon hearing this, Nangong Yan shot Murong Yu a grateful look, then started talking about her encounter.

So it turned out that after she and Baili Yu left the large boat, which was also the time they had encountered the assassins, a crazy woman suddenly climbed out of the water onto the large boat and accused Nangong Yan of being a vixen that was seducing Baili Yu.

“Wuwu, it’s such a false accusation. I can’t understand. I was just touring the lake with my senior brother, and we weren’t even on the same boat. How did I end up becoming a vixen? And she called me such terrible things. I really can’t take this. And my leg is sprained too. All I could do was wait here for Big Brother Murong to come help me and prove my innocence!” The more Nangong Yan spoke, the more wronged she felt.

Everyone sighed. No wonder she had been crying so heartbrokenly here, so someone had cursed at her!

Murong Yu was disgusted to hear this and thought that it was probably the doing of one of Baili Yu’s admirers. She had probably mistaken Nangong Yan for Tang Doudou, that’s why she had accused her of being a vixen.

However, it wasn’t like Nangong Yan didn’t know martial arts. She could have just caught that woman and brought her to law enforcement. That would have proven her innocence quickly. Why did she insist on sitting here and crying?

In truth, this was completely making Wind Cloud Island lose face.

Regardless of whether Nangong Yan was a vixen or not, spreading this would damage her reputation. Moreover, even though Baili Yu had just recently gotten engaged with Li Xueyi, she was still staying in the same inn as him.

Even if they were sibling disciples, they still should maintain a suitable distance, shouldn’t they?

“Do you know where that woman is right now?” Murong Yu asked a key question.

“After she finished yelling, she jumped back into the water and swam away. Afterwards, a lot of assassins emerged from the lotus pond, so I couldn’t chase after her.”

“Assassins!”

This was more important than those trifles!

Murong Yu immediately stood up and looked towards the lotus pond. It hadn’t been long

since the battle so if one looked closely, the corpses and blood could still be faintly made out from beneath the lotus leaves. It was quite a horrifying sight.

Everyone that entered Cloud City had gone through a strict examination and all of them were people with some fame.

How had such a large group of assassins managed to enter?

Murong Yu felt that he should quickly deal with Nangong Yan’s matter, then find Su Yi to ask what exactly was going on.

This kind of situation had never occurred before in Cloud City.

Of course, outsiders had never come into Cloud City before either. Murong Yu’s expression darkened and he no longer looked as gentle and elegant as before. “Yan er, since the person has run off, I’ll send you back first. After we find out who that woman is, we’ll have her clear up the matter and prove your innocence, alright?”

Nangong Yan shook her head and looked towards Murong Yu in a pitiful manner. She said bitterly, “I’ll have to go back to Wind Cloud Island in a few days. If this matter isn’t cleared up by then, how will I face Dada and Master!?”

When those two people were brought up, Murong Yu had no choice but to force a smile and ask, “Then what does Yan er suggest?”

“That woman had ran off too fast so I hadn’t been able to catch her. However, she dropped something as she was leaving. There’s a seal on the item. We can probably use that seal to find out this woman’s identity!”

What did the item she picked up have to do with this?

“Item?” Murong Yu looked around and his gaze landed on Yu Fenger’s hand. “Is it this?”

Worried that he would be dragged in, Yu Fenger hastily explained, “It’s not this. This is medicine I got for Miss Nangong. Her leg injury seems really severe since she can’t even walk…”

This Big Brother Yu of hers was seriously… The situation was already like this, yet he still ran over to fawn upon the beauty. No wonder Nangong Yan tried to drive him away earlier, she was probably sick of him.

However, for better or for worse the person had good intentions, yet Nangong Yan had only reacted with irritation and tried to drive Yu Fenger away.

Tang Doudou hadn’t heard what happened earlier. She found out about all of this from listening to the onlookers. When she heard about this, she was furious.

Hell, she almost wanted to rush straight up and pull Yu Fenger away.

Following that, they spoke a little more, then Murong Yu pointed at a few people in the crowd and called a couple good-looking girls over.

“Please help Miss Nangong up.”

In reality, he could have helped her up himself. However, once again he recalled the slap Liu Zhiyuan had received and made the decision to find some girls in the crowd.

The girls he had pulled out were all residents of Cloud City, since outsiders would likely ignore him.

The girls first curtsied towards Murong Yu before heading towards Nangong Yan.

This made Tang Doudou very curious. If Nangong Yan’s leg was injured, how did she get down from the large boat?

There was no way she would have allowed Yu Fenger to help her down.

She seemed to have mysophobia that was similar to Baili Yu’s.

As Tang Doudou was thinking, Nangong Yan had already been helped up by the girls. At the same time, the thing she had been sitting on was revealed.

What could it be?
