Chapter 233 - Jealousy


The thugs were not aware of Bai Rouyun's personality. They had never interacted with her before; all they knew about her was from the rumors which were spreading like wildfire all over Canglan City.


The background of Bai Rouyun was known to all, just as the reason behind her marriage to Li Moyun.


Even if there were some feelings involved now, they were initially not intended to be partners, and it was even possible to say that Li Moyun was forced into accepting her.


These thugs were certain that even if he did not blame her, and even if he did appreciate her appearance, she was still not someone who could hold much weight in the heart of the Eternal Shadow Lord.


They also knew that she only had one guard from the Eternal Shadow Palace by her side, and while he was considered one of the better experts within their palace, he was still not able to be in more than one place at a time.


Since they had tricked him away, they should be able to take her to their employers without any problems, and they could not help but smirk whenever they thought of the reward that they would be given.


The citizens who had happily observed the drama, and even those who had become indignant and angered, all felt a bit deflated when Bai Rouyun hired someone to look for her friend.


Some regretted not stepping forward to take the task, but since it had already been determined that this group of young experts would look for the lost girl, no one else bothered to stay.


The crowded people were originally on the road as they needed to head somewhere, but due to the sudden conflict, they had stayed behind to observe.


Bai Rouyun noticed how easily pacified these citizens were, and she could not help but shake her head. It was a shame that there was no medicine that could help someone use their brain to think rationally.


The students from Qin Huiling's class noticed how easily Bai Rouyun turned the situation around. While the crowd did not condemn them for just looking at the kidnapping, they also did not seem to think well of them anymore.


While a few of the girls did not think much about it, as they only disliked Bai Rouyun and wished her to be uncomfortable, there was one girl in the group who was gritting her teeth with anger when she witnessed how easily the crowd was pacified.


She hated Bai Rouyun. The two had never before spoken with one another, but she had accidentally seen Li Moyun and fell in love with him right away.


She managed to get close to him and was even willing to become a concubine, but he had not even looked at her before he left. The complete and utter disregard was hurting her heart, and it was even worse when she noticed the pampering eyes full of tenderness as he looked at Bai Rouyun.


The jealousy within her heart had grown day by day since then. Every time she noticed Bai Rouyun, she felt an urge to rush over and kill her, but she understood that she had no chance to do so.


She came from a very average family, but her parents loved her and spoiled her rotten. She felt that she was much more suitable to be with Li Moyun than a young, unfavored lady.


Even if Bai Rouyun's background was more noble than hers, she was at least loved and would be able to shower him with affection, not like Bai Rouyun, who was always running around flirting with other men like this Dongfang Yu.


She understood clearly that Li Moyun would not look at her, but she could not bear to blame him, nor was she able to reflect on herself, so all the blame was pushed onto Bai Rouyun.


She wished for her to die. Since she could not be with Li Moyun, then no one should. Unfortunately, these useless citizens were easily angered, but in her eyes, they were all cowardly and dared not attack Bai Rouyun.


Bai Rouyun noticed the hostility in the student's aura, but she did not take it seriously. Her killing intent was truly pitiful, it was clear that she had never actually killed anyone before, and while she was full of negative emotions, it did not seem that her ability to scheme was that profound either.


From these points, it was clear that she had no part in the scheme that was currently ongoing, but Bai Rouyun still remembered her face in case she caused problems later.


Bai Rouyun acted as if she had not noticed anything amiss. She followed the thugs, and while there was a certain worry on her face, her eyes were calm like a still lake; not even the slightest ripple could be seen.


They had walked down a few alleyways when the leader of the thugs turned around and looked at Dongfang Yu.


"We have to split up. We do not know what your friend looks like. Is it possible that some of us can follow your friend to look at the southern part of the city while we go to the northern part?"


Bai Rouyun almost cheered for the way this thug was planning. He succeeded in luring them into a small alley. Even if she refused, the fight was not likely to catch much attention from the main streets, so they had prepared for the worst.


She was curious about what would happen later, so while she looked thoughtful, she glanced at the crossroad in front. Her eyes captured a gesture from a guard in the shadows, and a smile spread on her lips.


This gesture meant that Mo Chu had brought Qin Huiling to safety and that the rest was for them to deal with. The decision was made in an instant.


"Let's split up!"
