Chapter 372.2: Eavesdropping in the Open (1/2)

The doors were still firmly closed. Not only was there no sight of Tang Doudou, there wasn’t even a shadow of her.

Although everyone present were people of the martial arts community, most of them had grown up in luxury so having to wait in the unbearable heat like this was infuriating.

After sweeping from one end to another and back, Tang Doudou finally got a clear idea of where all these people came from.

People from all four clans were here.

Lin, Bai, Murong, Xiao—the four families were standing beneath the shade of the bamboo in groups of about a dozen. They stood there quietly as if the heated discussion had nothing to do with them.

The group deepest in the bamboo forest was the people of the Lin Clan Stronghold. They were dressed in simple red martial arts clothing. The only person dressed differently was Lin Shuxuan, who was dressed in a scholarly outfit and sitting next to the person in charge of the Lin family. He made a striking contrast among all these people dressed in martial arts attire, but he didn’t seem to care and just looked over all the young girls present.

Next to the Lin Clan Stronghold was the people of the Bai family. Since they were the Bai (white) family, Tang Doudou thought that they would be like Bai Feiyun and dressed in ethereal white garments, but they actually had purple attires. Although they did have an ethereal air, there was a strange aura around them. The fact that the person sitting on the main seat was a very alluring woman with a veil surprised Tang Doudou the most.

Who would’ve thought that the Bai family was actually like this?

Then there was the Murong family. The entire row was filled with unfamiliar faces and they had completely different attires that gave off a very undisciplined air.

Tang Doudou didn’t have a good impression of the Murong family and this didn’t help to improve it.

Next to that was the people of the Xiao family.

Solemn and extremely strict!

Tang Doudou only briefly glanced at them before turning away with feigned calmness. However, her heart was pounding nonstop and she was so nervous that sweat covered her palms. This feeling of nervousness originated due to the elder who was clearly leading the Xiao family. His aura was way too intimidating. She had only taken one glance, but her stomach and legs almost started trembling. At the same time, she was confused. Was that old man the master of the Xiao family?

He clearly had such an intimidating presence, so why was the Xiao family at the very end of the four clans?

Could it be that she had gotten things wrong this entire time?

The rankings of the families was actually in the opposite order?

Regardless, she didn’t dare to glance in that direction again.

If that elder noticed anything, all her work would’ve been a waste.

Aside from the four large clans and the Gold Sword Faction, she was familiar with most of those people and they were here just to watch the show.

The most important group was still the group around Elder Yu!

It was also the place where Bai Feiyun was. Tang Doudou was also puzzled by this. She couldn’t help but feel that there was some secret between Bai Feiyun and Elder Yu.
