Chapter 337.1: New News
“Sir…”

The guard waved dismissively. “Since Grandma Wang has spoken on your behalf, your wife can just stay on the carriage.”

Baili Yu smile happily. “Many thanks!”

“En, so you should hurry up and come down. I still need to call for someone to search your carriage, so don’t waste anymore time!”

“Alright!” It must be said that Baili Yu was extremely good at acting, even Tang Doudou was almost convinced. However, she was happy to avoid getting scorched by the sun, so she sat down at the side of the carriage.

After Baili Yu got off the carriage, he stayed next to Tang Doudou to guard her.

Three guards came to check the carriage. One got on and knocked on the carriage to check if there were any empty floorboards while looking through all the things in the carriage. The other two checked the outside of the carriage. Although these guards didn’t really have good personalities, it must be acknowledged that they took their work very seriously. They didn’t leave an inch of the carriage unchecked.

As they rummaged through the things, Tang Doudou felt pretty anxious. Her box was still inside, so it was pulled out, how was she supposed to explain?

When Baili Yu saw that she seemed nervous, he smiled to comfort her.

Since he looked like he had some sort of plan, Tang Doudou relaxed and just started looking around while fanning the two of them. Hopefully these people would hurry and finish checking, then leave.

The guards inspected the carriage very carefully, but it didn’t take long for them to finish.

“Boss, there’s nothing out of the ordinary.”

“I thought so. After all, a crappy carriage like this wouldn’t be able to hide a person even if they wanted to!” That guard from earlier nodded, then patted the horse’s head. “You guys can go!”

“Many thanks, Sir.” Baili Yu jumped back on the carriage with a smile, then started driving the carriage towards the city entrance.

Just as they reached the city entrance, a bunch of people on horses came out from the city. They were dressed entirely in black and their faces were covered. It was the exact attire of the Seven Great Saint Tribes.

These people now dared to appear in public?

Tang Doudou was stunned, but she quickly shifted her gaze away. The Seven Great Saint Tribes had very sharp senses. Any slight strangeness would attract their attention.

However, that one glance already attracted a black-robed person’s attention.

“Stop right there!”

Baili Yu didn’t stop the carriage and continued driving it forward.

The leading black-robed person turned his horse sideways to block the two. “I told you to stop, but you dared to ignore me?”

Baili Yu exposed a confused expression and pointed at the guards behind them. “It was that sir that told me to go!”

“Humph, then why didn’t you stop when I told you to stop?”

Baili Yu stammered, “It’s not like you’re a government worker…”

“Audacious!” shouted that black-robed person. “Don’t you know who I am?”

Baili Yu shook his head. “I don’t.”

His very honest manner dispelled the black-robed person’s suspicions. He waved and said, “Scram!”

“Yes, yes…” Baili Yu hastily continued driving the carriage forward.

After entering the city, they didn’t see any more black-robed people, so Tang Doudou loosened a breath in relief and said quietly while leaning towards Baili Yu, “The Seven Great Saint Tribes have always been very sneaky. They’ve never appeared in broad daylight before.”

Baili Yu said, “Perhaps there was something that forced them to show up. In any case, we should just be careful.”

Tang Doudou nodded. “Then where do we go now?”

“Let’s find an inn to stay in for now.” Baili Yu glanced around. “Let’s stay in that inn.”

Tang Doudou glanced over. “Yuelai Inn again?”

After they got to the inn, Tang Doudou washed up, then fell asleep on the bed.

Baili Yu didn’t dare to leave, so he instructed a waiter to go to a pharmacy to help him buy medicine to stabilize the pregnancy. After the waiter brought it back, he double-checked it again and again to make sure there were no problems before boiling it up in the inn’s kitchen.

When Tang Doudou woke up and saw that there was a medicinal bowl in front of her, she was taken aback.

“Bai- Husband, what is this?”

“Medicine for relieving heat. Didn’t your stomach hurt earlier?” Baili Yu lifted the bowl with a slight smile and fed it to her spoon by spoon.

When she had been in Cloud City, she had drank Chinese medicine for nearly a month, so she had long gotten used to this taste. After obediently drinking all of it, she felt extremely sleepy again.

This time, Baili Yu didn’t allow her to sleep and pulled her up from the bed. “Let’s go eat something before sleeping.”

Before he said this, she hadn’t felt hungry, but as soon as he did, she felt like her stomach was pressed right up against her back from starvation.

She nodded with her eyes half-closed and followed Baili Yu downstairs.

“Why didn’t you have them bring it to the room? I’m really sleepy, I want to sleep.”

Baili Yu stroked her nose. “Once you eat, you can go back to sleep for as long as you want.”

After they sat down at the table, she opened her eyes to look at the table, then her eyes immediately widened. “Why is it all vegetables? Where’s the meat? You couldn’t be banning me from meat, right?”

“Let’s wait until you’re slightly better before eating meat. For now, it’s best to eat milder foods.” Baili Yu ladled a bowl of clear soup for her, then blew on it until it cooled down before passing it to her. “Drink this first before eating.”

Tang Doudou accepted it with a wry smile. She frowned immediately after the first sip. She hated drinking vegetable soup the most.

However, since Baili Yu was watching her with such an earnest expression, she obediently drank the soup, then ate quite a bit.

“Hey, have you guys heard?”

“Heard what?”

The table next to them started conversing after they had finished eating. Before they even got to the topic, Tang Doudou had already pricked up her ears to listen.

The afternoon was the best time to hear news in the inn. It was no wonder Baili Yu had dragged her out to eat. This had probably been his plan.

However, this time, she had completely mistook Baili Yu’s intentions. He had just wanted her to walk around a little.

But since she seemed excited about the conversation, he didn’t rush her and just called for the waiter to bring some tea and desserts. Everything he ordered was slightly sour. Tang Doudou ate a few pieces and found it quite tasty. Although she had already eaten her fill earlier, as she was eavesdropping, she ended up eating a lot more.

She became puzzled. She seemed to be eating a lot lately.

However, before she could think much about it, the person at that table continued, “Heng Xuan Chamber of Commerce is changing owners!”

“Aiy, didn’t this news already go around?”

“Then do you know who the new owner is?”

“Isn’t someone call Yi something? I heard she was Baili Yu’s sister?”

“Tch, that’s why I’m saying that you’re falling behind, alright?”

“What? It’s not her? That’s not possible, she’s his sister, who would be more suitable than her?”

Tang Doudou glanced at Baili Yu. That was true, if it came to inheritance, things would definitely fall to Baili Yiling, especially when Baili Yu’s current condition was unknown and she had disappeared as well. Most importantly, hardly anyone knew about the fact that she and Baili Yu had gotten married, so most people would definitely find Yiling most suitable.

However, that person wasn’t talking about Baili Yiling, so could it be Yun Hai?

Right after that thought emerged, Tang Doudou shook her head. Yun Hai had no way of convincing the masses to accept him.

Although he was one of the three main subordinates of Baili Yu, there was still Jun Xin and Feng Long. Those two were extremely reliable, nothing would happen with them around. Even if Yun Hai had the desire to take over the chamber of commerce, they would stop him.

However, what if something had happened to Jun Xin and Feng Long? After all, no one had gone to see Yun Hai since he came back, so no one knew why he ended up betraying Baili Yu.

The most worrying factor was, if Baili Yiling wasn’t the successor, her current environment would be very dangerous.

These thoughts ran quickly through Tang Doudou’s head and she listened even more carefully.

“Since Baili Yu is already dead, suitability can’t be worried about anymore. That person is…”

“Who?”

“You want to know?”

“Hehe, Bro, stop teasing us. How about this, I’ll pay for this meal?”

“I used a lot of effort to get this news you know. This dinner won’t be a loss…”

Tang Doudou itched to just charge over to demand answers when he suddenly stopped at a cliffhanger. When she heard that the person often tricked people into giving him free meals, she couldn’t help but wonder if he had purposefully made this up.

However, she decided to just listen for now.

When she pricked up her ears again though, she discovered that the two were now whispering to each other, so she couldn’t hear them at all.

She was so anxious that she decided to just go ask them, but Baili Yu pressed down on her hand and shook his head towards her.

Tang Doudou calmed down and finished the pastry in her hand. “I’m full, let’s head back to the room to rest.”

“Alright.”

As they headed upstairs, they passed right by the two, so Tang Doudou listened carefully in hopes of catching something.

However, it seemed that they had already finished discussing it. All she heard was laughter as Baili Yu led her upstairs.

After entering the room, Tang Doudou started jumping angrily. “I’ll head out later. We definitely have to figure out what’s going on!”

“There’s no need.” Baili Yu glanced at her. “I already know who it is.”

“Who is it?”

“Jun Xin.”

“Pffff!” Tang Doudou looked at him in astonishment. “H-h-how is that possible?”

Baili Yu said, “It’s very possible for it to be him.”

However, Tang Doudou still was skeptical because this wasn’t possible. Jun Xin hated those annoying matters, why would he choose to bind himself?

“Don’t misunderstand, he’s definitely only doing this because he had no other choice. We can only find out the details once we head back or make contact with Jun Xin, so don’t worry about it. You believe that Jun Xin isn’t this type of person, and I believe so too.” Baili Yu pressed Tang Doudou down by the bed. “For now, you should rest properly and recover, Then we can think of a way to escape from the Seven Great Saint Tribes’ pursuit and return to Huai City.”

Tang Doudou saw that he seemed unperturbed. She also understood that worrying now was no use. They were too far away, so the news that person had may have been spread a long time ago. Since they weren’t clear on the situation, it was best not to make rash and pointless decisions.

Baili Yu had Tang Doudou rest first while he headed out to see if he could get any more news.

Tang Doudou nodded. Baili Yu reminded her not to sleep too deeply so that she would wake up if someone approached.

His nagging caused Tang Doudou to grumble about him being an old grannie, so finally, though he still didn’t feel at ease, he headed out the door.

After Baili Yu left, Tang Doudou started pacing around in the room. After a while, she asked the waiter to bring her some paper and she started going over her recent thoughts. However, the more she went over them, the more confused she became. In the end, she crumpled the paper and threw it on the ground. “Ah! My brain feels like it’s about to explode! Why are there so many things!?

“That won’t do, I have to pull myself together! The world is still waiting for me to save it!

“Save a frick ah! If you go save the world, who will save you? Stupid Doudou ah, stupid Doudou.”

After wailing for a while, Tang Doudou finally rolled onto the bed. Even though she had pretty much slept through the last few days, she still felt very sleepy. This was probably the so-called autumn blues…

As she was thinking this, she fell deep asleep again.

When Baili Yu got back and saw that she was sprawled all over the place, he reflexively shook his head. From the looks of it, it was best if he didn’t head out while she was asleep. Otherwise it’d be too late for regret if something happened.

However, Tang Doudou had a lot on her mind, so even though she was very tired, her sleep was actually unusually shallow. The moment she heard footsteps, she opened her eyes in alarm. But when she saw that it was Baili Yu, she closed her eyes again. “You’re back?”
