Chapter 702 Chapter 702: The Most Careless Servant!
Tang Li Xue also thought that her perfect copy"s suggestion was quite good since Elder Yang"s help would certainly make their mission much easier.
But the previous a.s.sa.s.sination incident was like a fishbone stuck in her throat.
Even though Tang Li Xue had guessed that Elder Yang might not be the one who sent those a.s.sa.s.sins to kill her, but it had shaken her trust in Elder Yang.
Simply put, Tang Li Xue no longer dared to fully trust Elder Yang anymore since there was no guarantee that another accident would not happen again later.
It was like your deeply hidden secret that only your closest friend knew about suddenly spread to everyone. Although you know that your closest friend might not be the one who spread it, but you surely did not want to tell your other secret to that closest friend again, right?
Tang Li Xue"s current mood was exactly the same as that.
Therefore, Tang Li Xue immediately shook her head and replied with a stern tone: "No~! If our ident.i.ty as a fox were known to the Gu Family, they would certainly bring Nascent Soul Stage experts to arrest us."
"At that time, what we can do is only try to escape from this Garden City as soon as possible to avoid getting caught by those Nascent Soul Stage experts. Moreover, we will certainly drag Instructor Lan, Bingbing, and Silly Fox!" Tang Li Xue rejected her perfect copy"s idea while gnas.h.i.+ng her teeth.
If that really happened, she would certainly not be able to even forgive herself!
It was not that she could not trust Elder Yang, but she did not dare to gamble with four lives: herself, Instructor Mei Lan, Bingbing, and Silly Fox by placing her trust in Elder Yang.
She had already committed a mistake by hiding the information about Elder Yang"s whereabouts from Instructor Mei Lan, so she did not dare to make any more mistakes right now.
Don"t think that it was only a small lie and would not affect anything, because it could be extremely fatal if Elder Yang accidentally b.u.mped into Instructor Mei Lan, Bingbing, and Silly Fox on the street later.
Elder Yang would definitely recognize all of them at one glance since they had already met each other in Tang Feng City before.
Tang Li Xue did not even dare to imagine further what would happen after that!
"Sigh, forget it~! Let"s just see what you can do in the next few days." Tang Li Xue sighed in resignation as she rubbed her forehead to ease her headache.
Then a light of inspiration suddenly flashed in Tang Li Xue"s mind as her topaz blue eyes were s.h.i.+ning like a pair of stars.
"Or you can just do this to that Playboy Yang..." Tang Li Xue playfully told her plan to her perfect copy.
The expression of perfect copy became strange as she asked with an unsure tone: "Are you sure to do this?"
"Why not~?! You do not need to worry or think too much~! Just do as I say~!" Tang Li Xue urged her perfect copy with a tone filled with confidence.
Even though her perfect copy was still hesitant, but in the end, she still decided to do according to her true self"s plan.
.....
Tang Li Xue"s perfect copy gnashed her pearl-white teeth while muttering in frustration: "d.a.m.n it~! Why the h.e.l.l I must do this?! Sigh, I hope will not suddenly get angry and attack me later..."
Then she secretly added a lot of salt when she made the tea before she delivered it to Elder Yang, who was sitting in a pavilion beside the lake.
The perfect copy poured the tea from the teapot into a cup in front of Elder Yang, but...
SPLAAa.s.sHH~!
The cup overflowed, and the hot tea spilled onto Elder Yang"s pure white clothes.
"AH~! I am so sorry, Elder Yang..." The perfect copy hastily took a dirty cloth to wipe the dusty table and seat before, then used it to wipe Elder Yang"s wet clothes.
Of course, her action only made Elder Yang"s pure white clothes even dirtier instead.
"How could... Please forgive me, Elder Yang~!" The perfect copy shouted in panic as she quickly bowed to Elder Yang to apologize, but the dirty cloth in her grasp was "accidentally" thrown off to Elder Yang"s face instead.
However, Elder Yang reacted faster and caught the dirty cloth before it could hit his face.
Who knew that Elder Yang was not even angry at all, but he smiled in amus.e.m.e.nt at Tang Li Xue"s perfect copy instead and said: "It is all right. You can take a deep breath and sit down to calm down yourself first."
Elder Yang took another cup and poured the tea from the teapot into that cup, then gave it to Tang Li Xue"s perfect copy: "Drink this to calm yourself down."
The perfect copy quickly shook her head to reject the tea, but who knew that Elder Yang really insisted this time and stated in a stern tone: "You have to drink this tea!"
Without any other choice, the perfect copy could only unwillingly take the teacup from Elder Yang and drink it.
The extremely salty taste instantly invaded her mouth.
The perfect copy wanted to forcefully gulp it down, but she could not hold it on anymore and finally spurt it out instead.
Elder Yang swiftly avoided it, so Tang Li Xue"s perfect copy did not spurt the tea right onto his face.
"This... Please forgive me, Elder Yang~! I..." The perfect copy wanted to kneel again to apologize, but Elder Yang clearly did not plan to let her off so easily.
"It is okay. As an apology, you must drink all the tea in this teapot." Elder Yang uttered with an amused smile on his handsome face.
The perfect copy became dumbfounded in an instant.
She nodded obediently at Elder Yang and muttered: "Thank you for Elder Yang"s concern, but this servant is not thirsty anymore."
Elder Yang pushed the teapot on the table closer to Tang Li Xue"s perfect copy and said: "Then you can just drink it slowly. I will wait for you to drink it all while reading this book."
The perfect copy became even more speechless as her mouth twitched in aggravation.
The perfect copy took the teapot in hesitation.
However, when she could pour the tea in the teapot onto the cup, the teapot "slipped" from her hand and fell down.
But before the teapot could hit the ground and shatter to pieces, Elder Yang skillfully kicked the teapot lightly and caught it in mid-air with his hand, then he poured the tea from the teapot into the perfect copy"s teacup by himself.
The perfect copy dropped her jaw in shock as Elder Yang shoved the teacup to her again.
"d.a.m.n you, Tang Li Xue~! Your plan only harms me~!" The perfect copy roared angrily at the real Tang Li Xue.
The real Tang Li Xue could only comfort her perfect copy by saying: "Uh... Well, not everyone has ever tried to drink expensive imperial salty tea, so you should be grateful..."
The perfect copy suddenly had the urge to strangle her real self to death right now...
But the perfect copy really did not want to drink that extremely salty tea, so she could only use a trick...
She took the teacup from Elder Yang and pretended to drink the tea, but she actually secretly used her Profound Law of Heat to evaporate the tea instead.
Even though the power of her Profound Law of Heat was still much weaker compared to the Flame of Pride that her true self had, it was more than enough to evaporate the tea.
Then she poured the tea in the teapot onto her teacup and repeated the same trick again and again until the teapot was empty.
After that, Elder Yang planned to go back to his room to change his dirty clothes, while Tang Li Xue"s perfect copy planned to clean the table and bring back the teapot and teacup to the kitchen.
"What are you doing? Just let the other servants do that!" Elder Yang uttered to Tang Li Xue"s perfect copy.
"Oh? Okay..." Tang Li Xue"s perfect copy obediently followed Elder Yang from behind.
"Hey, your plan did not work at all! He did not let me go away in anger like your plan!" The perfect copy complained to the real Tang Li Xue.
Tang Li Xue pondered in a gloomy expression: "This is strange... How the h.e.l.l could he not even feel angry?! Is he a m.a.s.o.c.h.i.s.t or something?!"
Tang Li Xue"s plan was to make Elder Yang angry, so he would kick her perfect copy back to work in the kitchen. Then she would be able to move around easily to investigate Gu Family"s mansion like before.
But her plan clearly did not work out as she expected.
Tang Li Xue gritted her pearl-white teeth and instructed her perfect copy again: "I do not believe that he would not feel angry after we do it a few more times! So keep doing it until he loses his patience and kicks you as his servant!"
Her perfect copy rolled her eyes and asked angrily: "But what if he punishes me again later because of it?"
"Then be patient and hold out until he kicks you as his servant! let"s see who has more patience between us and him!" Tang Li Xue replied with a provocative tone.
"It is really easy for you to say that! It is me who gets punished, not you!" The perfect copy angrily complained.
