Chapter 232 - Tigress
The Blue Water Institute was located in the middle of Canglan City. The gates were leading out to the busiest street, and there was a constant crowd bustling forth and back, but due to the sudden chaos at the gates, the road had beco blocked, and more and more citizens gathered around to see what was happening.
The ones who were ant to catch Bai Rouyun had initially intended to follow her from the gates and towards a more deserted area where they would be able to act, but she had not made a move yet, causing them so annoyance.
They knew that the girl had been caught. Their plan had been to encircle her, threaten her with the safety of her friend, and then lead her towards the previously agreed upon eting place.
Here they would hand her over to their employer, and their task would be done. They knew that this woman had a distinguished identity, but she was, after all, rely a trophy wife.
Even if she went missing, the Eternal Shadow Lord should not care much. He was so revered throughout the lands, and he could get any kind of woman he wanted, so why would he care about one that was forced upon him?
However, their initial plan was disrupted by these classmates. They had taken a moral high-ground and planned on making her look ugly. They did not expect that such a scene would appear before them, and they were a bit lost. How were they supposed to bring her away under these circumstances?
There was a bit of annoyance in their hearts. They would only receive the full paynt when they brought her to the eting place, and while they were able to earn quite a bit with their strength, the pay for this task was simply like a pie falling from the sky.
Bai Rouyun glanced at the many people who had crowded around her. There was righteous indignation and hatred in their eyes, but she could not help but feel that they were like monkeys jumping around in front of her.
Many of these citizens were influenced by the words of Qin Huiling’s classmates. Still, if they took the ti to actually consider the situation and the context, they would be able to know that sothing was wrong with the current situation.
These students had seen her being taken away, and according to them, it was quite so ti ago, but they had not tried to stop it, nor had they themselves tried to find her or rescue her.
They only ntioned it now due to encountering Bai Rouyun, and suddenly all the bla was pushed onto her body.
While these citizens did not have much talent for cultivation, there were a few amongst them who had a very clear mind.
Although many were deceived by the words of the classmates, they quickly understood that things were not likely to be that simple. Upon noticing the calmness of Bai Rouyun, they felt even more certain in their conjuncture.
"Miss! I understand that you are feeling uncomfortable knowing that your friend has been caught by unknown thugs! Why don’t you allow us to escort you to look for her? My brothers and I would be honored to help you!"
The speaker was one of the hired help that was ant to capture Bai Rouyun. He had long considered different ways to easily bring her away from this crowd, but the only solution he could find was to try and offer his own help.
If she refused him, he would have to look for another way, but if she was stupid enough to follow them, then things would beco much simpler.
The cunning gleam flashed across the man’s eyes, and while most did not notice this, Bai Rouyun saw it clear as day.
"I would naturally be honored for you to help locate my friend, but I do wonder why you are so eager to assist ?"
Bai Rouyun seed gentle and refined. She smiled softly at the young man, and while she looked sowhat guarded, it was not to the point where she was hostile.
In fact, it resembled a young lady of an affluent family who was used to being taken advantage of. She seed to expect this young man to request sothing in return for his help.
"I would naturally want to help without repaynt, but if the young lady is willing to give a few coins as remuneration, then I would not refuse."
The speaker was at first considering pretending to be a generous and compassionate person. Still, after considering the situation, such a person was actually much more questionable than one who asked for money.
As such, he decided to ask for money, and everyone watching could not help but shake their heads. They regretted that they had not been the first ones to offer their assistance, but the chance had already been grasped by others.
Bai Rouyun looked at the speaker with so doubts. She seed to seriously consider his words and finally nodded her head, albeit a bit hesitatingly.
"I will naturally reward you handsoly if we do manage to locate my friend."
The thug was certain that he had succeeded in fooling the young woman. However, many experts hiding in the shadows could not help but shake their heads in regret.
Who would have thought that their Master’s wife was such a good actress? Had they not already known her, they would easily be fooled by her appearance, and the behavior she showed clearly made everyone believe her without a doubt.
Even Dongfang Yu, who was standing by her side, felt the corner of his lip twitch as he tried to hold back the smile.
Who would imagine that the fierce and ferocious tigress would pretend to be a soft and sweet milk cat?
