Chapter 12: Hedonistic Son of Rich Parents

Tang Doudou who had already entered the winding corridor didnt know that there was someone following them, rather it was Bai Feiyun that sensed it and glanced backwards a few times. However, each time his attention was broken by the winks Tang Doudou sent his way. In the end, he could only turn back around, refusing to look back even if he gets beaten to death.

In the end, is he really Li Xueyi or not?

Hey, Bai gongzi, why are you also here?

Walking in the corridors, the amount of people around gradually increased. There were many people that smiled and gave greetings when they saw Bai Feiyun. For some people Bai Feiyun would give a polite but alienated return greeting, for others, he would just move his gaze a bit and count that as a gesture.

Walking along the corridor and gradually getting close to the end, Tang Doudou discovered something strange. They dont seem to recognize her at all.

Even this middle aged man that cupped his fist in salute and came over. Even though he was very different from the rest, a flash of puzzlement also flashed through his eyes, as if he was very curious about her identity.

This scene caused Tang Doudous thoughts to spin uncontrollably spin towards a strange direction. Little Bai* couldnt be duping her, right?

I just noticed that Little Bai is a modern way of saying pretty boy. Putting little in front of someones name is also a common way of calling little kids by nickname. Bai Feiyun, being a ancient probably doesnt know that Tang Doudou is calling him a pretty boy.

Bai Feiyun just only took a single glance at her and he knew what she was thinking.

He didnt pay attention to it, rather, he greeted that middle-aged man back: Hall Master He.

Hall Master is usually a title for a person in a sect with a management position. So it is likely that he has a teaching position or is respected as a master. Hall is as in teaching hall. And trivia, He isnt pronounced hiiii but h-urgh, stressing the ur sound without the rg.

Is Bai gongzi currently heading towards the convention? Seeing that Bai Feiyun didnt plan on introducing the young man next to him, Hall Master He also couldnt bring it up himself so he just casually brought up a random topic to discuss.

Bai Feiyun nodded: Hall Master He isnt heading over right now?

Heh, I do want to head over. As a matter of fact, arent I out here looking for Li Xueyi?! Hall Master He got angry just talking about this. Dont know whats going on in the head of Cloud Citys Lord, to let Li Xueyi, that hedonistic son of rich parents, come to become the Alliance Head of these martial arts circles. From the start of the convention preparations until now, when its already about to begin, not half a shadow of Li Xueyi was seen. Because of this, it caused the entire Jianghu to be very dissatisfied.

Where exactly was the millennium fame of Cloud City? But no one dared to say anything, even this martial arts convention was held at a brothel according to Li Xueyis wishes!

Bai Feiyun heard the discontent in Hall Master Hes voice. His eyes flitted across Tang Doudous blank face out of the corners of his eyes. In his heart, he told himself that no matter what, he must first properly complete the tasks the City Lord gave him.

No need to look anymore, Hall Master He,

Why is this? Hall Master He asked, puzzled.

Tang Doudou also wanted to ask, why not keep looking. Let them search ah, after they get tired out searching, later itll be easier for her to deal with them ah!

Gaping and closing her mouth, she was just about to speak when another person ran over hastily.

Hall Master He, I heard Li Xueyi was attacked by people from the Demonic Sect and currently his whereabouts are unknown. Right now, Elder Yu is currently gathering everyone to discuss a countermeasure, what are you still hanging around here for?

The man hastily walked over, grabbed Hall Master He and was immediately about to leave.

Hall Master He didnt have a favorable impression of Li Xueyi in the first place, having him be kidnapped by people of the Demonic Sect suited him quite well. To want him to go rush to think of an idea to save the person, how could that be possible?

Throwing off that persons hand, Hall Master He shot a glance at the unperturbed Bai Feiyun and gave a light cough: Syndicate Leader Liu, whether for good or for bad you are still the leader of a syndicate. Making such a fuss over little matters and acting like a coarse martial arts practitioner that knows nothing but martial arts will cause people to laugh!

Syndicate Leader Liu paused, stunned. Inwardly, he thought, he is precisely a coarse martial arts practitioner of the Jianghu that knows nothing but martial arts in the first place. Otherwise do they want him to learn from the scholars and intellectuals how to act all soft and refined?

Then glancing again at his own five larges and three thicks* physique, Syndicate Leader Liu laughed as he said: Hall Master He really likes to joke.

The five large refers to the ears, shoulders, hands, buttocks and feet. The three coarses refer to neck, arm, and legs. Additional info in footnotes~

And then, he finally saw the two elegant white-clothed youths standing at the side: These two are?

Oh, come, come, let me introduce you! Hall Master He intentionally procrastinated, not wanting to go where Elder Yu was, and pulled Syndicate Leader Liu over: This is White Wind Manors Bai Feiyun, this is

Hearing Bai Feiyuns name, Syndicate Leader Lius eyes lit up, almost on par with the way Tang Doudou looks when she sees a high-quality handsome guy.

He passed Hall Master He with large strides and grabbed Bai Feiyuns hand. His ardent eyes were full of little stars: Bai gongzi, do you still remember me?

The saying five larges and three coarses has more to it. Having big ears are signs of good fortune and of long life, as well as wealth. In the ancient times peasants preferred men with broad shoulders so that they could work well. Having big hands symbolizes ability to amass wealth and people with big butts can sit steadily. A pair of large feet will allow workers to walk very fair. And all 5 of these body parts are commonly used in other sayings based on these characteristics.
