Chapter 237: What Did You Say?
When they went home today, Xixi went with them.
On the way back, Hua Youlin couldn’t help but glance at Xixi, who had returned to its normal bird size. His thoughts wandered as the scene of Xixi breathing fire still lingered in the back of his mind.
“Xixi, aren’t you busy today?” He didn’t know why he would ask a bird this question. The moment the words were out of his mouth, Hua Youlin felt his entire person had gone bonkers.
Xixi flapped its wings and flew to the boy’s shoulder, settling down on it with a triumphant expression. “I want to go home and play with Haha! Haha is definitely lonely without me at home at its side!”
Hua Youlin: “…” I don’t know how to tell you this, but Haha is very happy being alone, and spending time playing with Sister Gu.
Just as Gu Xiqiao walked out to the intersection, she caught sight of Baili Bin’s black car. He was leaning against the car on the outside, looking at his phone. It seemed like he was texting someone, and he kept away his phone when she came over to him. He opened the car door for her, waiting for her to get in.
“Big Brother Baili, have you waited long?” Gu Xiqiao asked, an apologetic tone. She had specifically told him that he didn’t need to pick her up today, but unexpectedly, he had come anyway.
Really.
Baili Bin rubbed her head gently as a warm smile was on his face. “Not too long, now hurry and get in.”
Both of them got into the car, and Baili Bin drove out from the alley. When the light turned red, he stopped the car and turned to her with a serious expression on his face. “Qingqiu and the others are having a banquet tonight, and it seems that… well, they all want to meet you. Do you want to go?”
If it had been anyone else who had asked the question instead, Gu Xiqiao would have pretended that she didn’t hear it at all. However, since it was Baili Bin who was asking, she replied, “Then let’s go.”
“Thank you.” Baili Bin’s eyes lit up, the smile on his face got slightly wider.
The car finally stopped in front of an extremely luxurious clubhouse.
Gu Xiqiao held Hua Youlin’s hand, with Xixi on her shoulder as the three of them walked inside. Baili Bin went to the front desk for the private box number. The person at the front desk looked at them with surprised eyes, before respectfully leading them upstairs.
There were quite a few people in the box, and they were all basically familiar faces.
“Pretty sister!” As soon as Gu Xiqiao stepped in with Baili Bin, a petite figure flew over to her immediately.
Her arms were already open in preparation to receive the girl, but she didn’t expect the figure not to fall into her arms, but was grabbed by another hand instead. Gu Xiqiao followed the arm to find that it was Hua Youlin.
Yin Aoxue flapped her arms, but realized that while she was usually strong, she couldn’t move at all at this time. She hadn’t been able to reach the pretty lady, but had been caught by someone else instead. Her eyes widened, and found that it was a somewhat bigger child that held her, a cold expression on his face. His clear, deep dark eyes were looking at her intensely.
Seeing the person looking back at him, Hua Youlin immediately let go, a disgusted expression on his face. He then took Gu Xiqiao’s hand again, ignoring Yin Aoxue.
Even this strange looking person wanted his Sister Gu, you had to go through him first and see if he agreed, okay?
This exchange led to Shi Haizhe and Wanqi Jue looking at Hua Youlin with a different perspective, a thoughtful look in their eyes. Yin Aoxue might look like a normal girl, but her strength was not any less than an ancient warrior in that little body of hers.
Hua Youlin had so easily picked her up and held her at arm’s length, which shocked Shi Haizhe completely. Wanqi Jue had also been shocked, but seeing that the boy stood next to Gu Xiqiao, the feeling disappeared instantly.
There was a bird that was powerful at her side, so it wasn’t strange to find that even an older child like Hua Youlin could pick up Yin Aoxue like that.
“I didn’t expect, Ah Bin, that you really would be able to bring her here!” Tang Qingqiu raised his cup towards Baili Bin, his gaze turning to Gu Xiqiao after. It felt like he was meeting this person for the first time. If he didn’t see it with his own eyes, he really wouldn’t have believed that the NIne Heavens that he had always been admiring was in this harmless little girl called Miss Gu. “Miss Gu, can you please remove me from your blocked list?”
Tang Qingqiu was sad, but at the same time, he felt the entire situation was hilarious. In his whole life, she was the only person who had blacklisted him.
There was such a thing? Gu Xiqiao was surprised, and pulled out her phone, flipping through the records. She finally found Tang Qingqiu’s name on the list, and her lips curled up slightly. She shrugged helplessly as she looked back at Tang Qingqiu. “Sorry, Big Brother Tang. I really didn’t put your number on the list.”
She had previously placed Luo Wenlang and Yu Ning on her blacklist, because they liked to nag and pester her whenever possible, especially for certain things they preferred to rely on her. In order to change their mindset and this… problem of theirs, for them to be more independent, she had done it. And after that, she would mostly enter most people into the blacklist anyway.
However, she really wasn’t the one who had blocked Tang Qingqiu. He’s Brother Jiang’s friend after all, right?
And so, the only explanation left, which Tang Qingqiu also arrived at. Jiang Shuxuan was the one who had done it!
This guy was really too much! Before he left, he asked for him to take care of his precious, but he sneakily blocked Tang Qingqiu’s number on Gu Xiqiao’s phone. Tang Qingqiu ground his teeth when he thought about it. He watched Gu Xiqiao, who was talking to Wanqi Jue at the moment, and he took out his phone, taking a picture with a ‘click’,
Although the light was dim in the room, it didn’t affect the quality of the image. The facial features of the man in the photo were still stunning, and his expression was extremely affectionate.
The woman’s expression was cold, and she was sitting next to a boy who was guarding his food zealously. Tang Qingqiu cropped out the boy, so the picture that had three people now were left with only the two in it.
After he was done, the gloating man sent the picture to Jiang Shuxuan, who was thousands of miles away.
Wanqi Jue had a lot of things to say to Gu Xiqiao. The first was thank you, then it was the issue on the Seal of Inheritance, and finally, the recent riots around the world. In the past, he would discuss this matter directly with the ancient martial arts world, but this time, he went to Gu Xiqiao instead.
“This matter will come to an end soon.” Gu Xiqiao narrowed her eyes, Brother Jiang… should be almost done with it, right?
Her voice was calm, and her expression chilling cold. However, it was also very confident and convincing. Wanqi Jue could feel the anxiousness and uneasiness in his heart calm the instant her words were out.
He still had things to say, but Baili Bin looked at his phone at this time, receiving a message. The corners of his mouth twitched, an affectionate expression on his face. “It’s nine already, Qiao Qiao needs to go home.”
Nine? The night life had just begun, and he’s saying she needed to go home?!
Wanqi Jue and the others were about to protest, but then they remembered that Baili Bin was the only one who could move Gu Xiqiao, so they definitely couldn’t provoke him at this time!
The three of them walked out, and then only Tang Qingqiu remembered that he was looking for Gu Xiqiao for something tonight. He stared at Wanqi Jue, a cross between disbelief and exasperation. “I still had things to ask her about?!” You b*tch, you took up so much time with her?!
“I also only had a few sentences with her?” Wanqi Jue raised his wine glass, smiling at Tang Qingqiu. Man, that face was just asking for a good beating.
Tang Qingqiu resisted the urge to pound him to the ground.
“By the way, what were you looking for her for?” Wanqi Jue asked curiously, putting down his glass.
Tang Qingqiu sighed. “Weren’t you also involved in the finance world for a time? Do you know about Nine Heavens?”
“Of course, I really admire the person who founded Nine Heavens.” Wanqi Jue’s eyes lit up when they touched on this topic. “However, I couldn’t find out anything about them, no matter how much I tried.” He was a little confused when he said this, wondering how it was possible at all to hide everything like this.
In fact, he didn’t have much talent for finance anyway, so he left it up to his subordinates to build up the business. At that time, he only needed a better-looking identity to approach Fu Xuejun after all.
That was why he kept an eye on Nine Heavens, who rose up into the heavens and occupied a large position in the world.
It’s just that he had been busy with the supernatural forces of England lately, and he hadn’t had the time to manage his company.
“Gu Xiqiao is the founder of Nine Heavens,” Tang Qingqiu said suddenly.
“Oh.” Wanqi Jue nodded his head.
One minute later, he jumped up suddenly, pointing a finger at Tang Qingqiu. “Y-y-y-you… What did you just say?!” He thought he had misheard, did Tang Qingqiu really just say that Miss Gu was the founder of Nine Heavens?! How was that possible!
Wanqi Jue observed Tang Qingqiu’s serious expression, not a trace of humor on his face. He suddenly realized he hadn’t misheard, and it wasn’t a joke.
Although Wanqi Jue held high respect for Gu Xiqiao, disregarding the countless achievements that she had in regards to the ancient martial arts world, he didn’t expect that she was also extremely talented in the finance field!
Wanqi Jue flopped back onto the sofa, picking up the glass of wine that he had just put down, trying to calm the raging beating of his heart.
He tried to calm himself, the other was someone who could subdue the Seal of Inheritance after all, it wasn’t that strange for her to be the founder of Nine Heavens. But…
Could these two things even be comparable?!
Shi Haizhe sat alone in a corner, watching Yin Aoxue reluctantly walk over from the door. He suddenly opened his mouth, “Wanqi, did you feel that there was something strange with the boy just now?”
Could anyone just pick up a crazy girl like Yin Aoxue with one hand?
It was incredible!
Wanqi Jue glanced at Shi Haizhe, his voice faint. “What was strange about him?”
“That’s…” Shi Haizhe tried to find the words. “He picked up Xue’er with just one arm?” Thinking about it again, he felt that he hadn’t seen it wrongly.
“Oh.” Wanqi Jue picked up his phone to check the time, seeing that it was a little past nine. “He’s at Miss Gu’s side after all, it would have been stranger if he hadn’t been able to do it.” That ‘normal’ bird that was on her shoulder had also been able to resist the Seal of Inheritance after all.
“What do you mean?” Shi Haizhe was confused, and he wasn’t able to formulate a proper response.
“It means, didn’t you always ask me how I managed to pull down the former leader and subdued the Seal of Inheritance? That was the person you just met.” Wanqi Jue patted Shi Haizhe’s shoulder, and stood to take his leave. “Xue’er needs to go to school tomorrow, so I gotta leave for her to rest.”
Tang Qingqiu thought about it for a while, and he too stood and left, phone in hand.
“Xue’er, what did you uncle Wanqi mean by that just now?” Shi Haizhe asked, looking at Yin Aoxue with a grave expression.
Yin Aoxue gave him a contemptuous look. “It means, the person who pulled the ex-leader off his high horse was that pretty sister! The one who subdued the Seal of Inheritance was also that pretty sister! Shi Haizhe are you dumb?!”
“What?!” Shi Haizhe exclaimed in shock.
To subdue the Seal of Inheritance and take down the former leader… This required not only intelligence, but also a very strong, super strength. The Seal of Inheritance wasn’t so easy to subdue after all.
Tang Qingqiu walked out with Wanqi Jue, and just as he stepped out, he suddenly saw a message that Tang Qinghong sent him.
Qinghong: Brother, the elder received a letter yesterday. I’ve sent you a photo. Take a look for yourself, they may take action. Be careful.
Tang Qingqiu clicked on the picture that Tang Qinghong had sent, and when he saw it, it was him and Xiao Yun.
The photo was slightly blurred, but you could make out the two figures in them. One of them was him, and there were quite a few pictures. It was obvious they had all been taken in secret.
Upon seeing this, Tang Qingqiu’s expression changed. He immediately sent a message to Xiao Yun—[Miss Xiao, how have you been recently? Have you met any strange people?]
Xiao Yun’s reply was also fast—[Thanks for your concern, President Tang. I’ve been well.]
As usual, her message was short and straight to the point. Tang Qingqiu suddenly envied the way that Jiang Shuxuan and Gu Xiqiao got along. Thinking of this, he sighed—[The security in the capital hasn’t been good lately, so be careful and take care of yourself.]
This time, there was no reply.
Tang Qingqiu put his phone away feeling slightly distracted. Out of the corner of his eyes, he found Fu Xuejun standing by the door of a hotel. He rolled his eyes and gave a kick to Wanqi Jue. “Wait a moment, I’ll get you something.”
Having said that, he disappeared.
Wanqi Jue stood rooted to the ground, waiting in place without blinking. He had naturally seen Fu Xuejun, but he chose to ignore her.
Not even a minute later, Tang Qingqiu was holding a document out to him. “I see that you’re close to Feiye, can’t bear to see you getting cheated.” Really, he had never met anyone in China that was as stupid as this guy!
After handing it to him, Tang Qingqiu sent a message to someone as he walked away—[I’ve already given him the thing. No need to thank me, take it as my thanks to Miss Gu for taking care of Xiao Yun all this while.]
It’s not like he didn’t know that Xiao Yun’s skills had all been taught to her by Gu Xiqiao.
A few seconds later, a reply came—[I’ll let Qiao Qiao know.]
Tang Qingqiu stared at the message for a while, then typed a reply immediately—[No need to do that, Young Master Jiang!]
If Gu Xiqiao was told, then wouldn’t he be the shameless one?!
***
Wanqi Jue opened the document that was given to him, flipping through it. His azure blue eyes were so very deep, and he lowered his head slightly, making people unable to see his expression properly.
Fu Xuejun saw that Tang Qingqiu had left, and she calmed herself, walking slowly to Wanqi Jue’s side.
It wasn’t like she didn’t feel anything at all for Wanqi Jue when he had done everything for her back then, it was his identity that she had a problem with, so she never reciprocated. But it was different now.
She had heard Murong Feiye’s conversation with Wanqi Jue that evening when they were in A University, and knew that he would be here for dinner tonight. She had immediately gone home and changed into the dress that she had worn the first time they had met. “Wanqi, I…”
She had everything planned out, first she would get Wanqi Jue. When her foothold in the ancient martial arts world was stable, then she would turn around and deal with Gu Xiqiao. She really, really hated Gu Xiqiao, all the way to her bones! She wanted to smash that face in and tear it to pieces!
She gave him a warm, gentle smile. Just as she was about to continue, Wanqi Jue raised his head.
There was an angry bloodlust in his eyes.
Fu Xuejun was shocked, a stab of fear running through her as she took a step back.
“Miss Fu, I don’t think that we have anything else to talk about.” Wanqi Jue closed his eyes tightly, and when he opened them again, his eyes were back to normal. He gave her a lazy smile, the one he usually did. “No, that’s not right. I shouldn’t even call you Miss Fu, since you were never the real heiress to the Fu family after all.”
What was that supposed to mean? Before Fu Xuejun could collect herself, she was shocked by the latter part of his words.
Her intuition was telling her that something bad was going to happen, just like the gaze that Fu Wei had been giving her lately, it made the uneasiness in her heart grow bigger.
Wanqi Jue pushed the documents that were in his hands into hers, and then took out his sunglasses, getting into the car and driving away.
This look and attitude, it was exactly the same as when they had first met.
When Fu Xuejun finally snapped out of it, she looked at the documents in her hands. When she saw the first two, she nearly fainted from shock.
It was a paternity test, and the results were 0.001%.
Even though she had lost the position of being the heiress to the Fu family, Fu Xuejun had never been in such a panicked state before, because she still had Fu Enterprise, and also Baili Wenxi. They were family after all, although the Baili family didn’t like her, she didn’t feel that it was any loss. She had believed that with the blood relation to the Fu and Baili family, it wasn’t something that was easily erased.
But now, what did all of this mean?
She wasn’t the real child of Baili Wenxi and Fu Wei?!
How could this happen? A burst of fear soared through her, and then despair followed right after. She felt that her entire life had been orchestrated by an invisible pair of hands.
When she had first come to the Imperial Capital, everything was still fine. She was the subject of envy and jealousy by countless people, but what had happened to make it change? That’s right, it all changed the day she started to target Gu Xiqiao. That was the turning point.
She lost her position as the successor of the Fu family, Fu Wei’s trust, and then Fu Enterprise… And now, her strongest weapon of being the daughter of Fu Wei and Baili Wenxi were also gone. In contrast, Gu Xiqiao that she had always been looking down upon, now had everything that she couldn’t have.
The phone in her pocket rang loudly, and Fu Xuejun pulled it out, seeing that it was Baili Wenxi, she picked up immediately. Her tone was joyful as she greeted, “Mommy!”
“Did you once send someone from the ancient martial arts world to assassinate Miss Gu?” Baili Wenxi’s voice was calm.
Fu Xuejun was taken aback, a sullen expression on her face. “No! Mommy, listen to me. Wanqi was there that time, and he saved her, she wasn’t hurt at all!”
“What if Wanqi wasn’t there?” Baili Wenxi’s voice was still light when she said it.
Fu Xuejun was about to say something, but Baili Wenxi cut off the call. She tried to call back, but it seemed like her mother had turned off the phone.
She fell to the ground on her backside, her face chalk white. Everything, everything had been destroyed today.
***
“Little Huazi, where did you learn that from today?” Gu Xiqiao held Hua Youlin’s hand as they walked into the house, when she recalled the scene of him picking up Yin Aoxue a while ago. “That’s the first time I’ve seen it. You were obviously a sick person who couldn’t carry anyone on their shoulder.”
“Big Brother Jiang taught me,” Hua Youlin’s eyes were bright as he replied, a childish glee in them. Big Brother Jiang had told him before he left, if there was anyone who was going to hanky panky towards Gu Xiqiao, just kick them away immediately!
However, it had been a little doll girl today, and so he obviously didn’t kick her away, but carried her away instead!
Gu Xiqiao: “…”
Just as she was about to say something, her phone rang.
Chapter 238: Return to Gu Manor
Gu Xiqiao gestured for Hua Youlin to do his homework before picking up the phone.
Tang Qinghong couldn’t hold back his curiosity any further so he called Gu Xiqiao, but when the call went through, he didn’t know what to say. “…Miss Gu.”
Upon hearing his voice, Gu Xiqiao wasn’t surprised in the least and only told him an address.” Just let Brother Yin pick you up when the time comes, or else you won’t be able to get in.”
After Tang Qinghong hung up on the phone, he placed the towel into the hands of his butler.
“Where are you going, Young Master?” The butler was surprised upon seeing that the young man was going to leave the Trial Tower, as he had always been hardworking. With the ranking battles right around the corner and the indomitable wall named Jiang Tong in front of him, Tang Qinghong faced unprecedented pressure. “Aren’t you going to continue your training for tonight?”
“No, I’ll go see Shaoyuan.” Tang Qinghong replied with a cheeky smile.
Looking for Young Master Yin? That young master hadn’t been training in the Trial Tower for a while now, was his young master going to be brought onto the wrong path by him?
Upon thinking of this, the butler was immensely worried and he followed behind Tang Qinghong, trying to persuade him “Young Master Yin is being foolish, you can’t follow his footsteps!”
“I understand, Grandpa Butler.” Tang Qinghong took his coat and put it on, before going back to his home and getting into his car that he hadn’t used in a while, and he was about to start the engine up when he saw a stumbling figure beside the road. “Is that…Divine Doctor Rong?”
The butler was smacking Tang Qinghong’s car window in protest, wanting to dissuade him from trying to leave the ancient martial arts world, and when Tang Qinghong looked into the distance he followed his gaze to see that figure. After identifying who it was, he was quite astonished. “My, how is Divine Doctor Rong in such a state?”
The moment the butler was distracted, Tang Qinghong immediately stepped on the accelerator and drove away, sparing a glance at Rong Feishuang as he did.
Upon seeing Tang Qinghong drive away, the butler was baffled and immediately called Tang Wenbo: “Master, you have to persuade Young Master to come back! He’s gone to where Young Master Yin is, and from the looks of it, he might not even come back before the ranking battles…”
On the side of the road, Rong Feishuang shook his pitcher of alcohol, seemingly disappointed to find that it was empty.
He was the exact image of a homeless tramp on the streets in the secular world, with none of the aura of a divine doctor. The people that passed him by all looked at him in surprise, but none dared to provoke him.
Rong Feishuang sat down and leaned on a rock with a cloudy gaze, before throwing away his pitcher haphazardly and taking out his phone, showing the long list of missed calls by Zhu Yuan. Without a second glance, he threw that away too, before sticking his hand into his pockets and fishing out a black communicator that was native to the ancient martial arts world.
He looked at this communication device for a moment, before pressing two buttons and speaking with a trembling voice, “Manman, she’s…She’s dead.”
After he said so, he threw the communication device away too, before laying down and looking at the starless night sky.
Zhu Yuan was quite worried when Rong Feishuang hadn’t picked up any of his calls, so he set aside his work in the laboratory and drove to the ancient martial arts world, only finding Rong Feishuang after a lot of effort.
“Master, can you tell me what is going on?” What was so bad that he didn’t even care about healing people anymore?
He looked at Rong Feishuang that seemed to have lost his spirit wordlessly and inhaled deeply, before looking down at the mobile phone and the communication device on the ground and picking them up. The indicator light on the communicator was still blinking red, and Zhu Yuan took a glance at who it was that Rong Feishuang messaged before he stood there dumbfoundedly.
Gu Xiqiao had completely finished all of her scenes on the set of Divergent Paths, and the day she was going to leave, the entire crew was in low spirits.
“Are you really not going to act anymore?” Cheng Zhou asked pitifully, just like how a teacher would if a genius with 180 IQ chose to drop out of school to work.
To this, Gu Xiqiao only smiled. “Director Cheng, I really can’t compare to Acting Emperor Li in terms of talent.” She only spent more time than anyone else in the cheat named as the virtual arena.
Then, she went off to remove her makeup.
Li Yu had just finished filming a scene and walked over to Cheng Dao who was down in the dumps, and the director looked up at him and asked with a bitter smile, “She said that she doesn’t have your talent. What do you think?”
From all of her roles, he saw a single similarity—An irreplaceable aura and ingenuity that couldn’t be replicated!
Every time she and Li Yu acted together, it was as if they were two sword masters in a battle of skill and technique.
Such a person told him that she didn’t have any talent? How could she get to those heights without talent?
“Director Cheng, have you seen anyone with high status truly join the entertainment industry?” Li Yu shook his head.
Upon hearing this, Cheng Zhou only fixed him with a withering stare. “Aren’t you such a person?”
Li Yu: “…She found something else fun.” Did he really want him to speak the truth?
Cheng Zhou: “…You didn’t need to be so honest.”
Li Yu fished out his phone. “I had you get me a role that could be in the same scene as Miss Gu, and you made me act as a passerby?”
“Ahem, putting that aside, Old Liu has a new movie recently that I think you and Xiao Yun would be suited for.” Because Gu Xiqiao had asked him to take care of Xiao Yun, he had tried to net several roles for her in the past, but a majority of them were turned down by Xiang Kun.
Upon hearing this, Li Yu only glanced at him before picking up his sunglasses and following after Gu Xiqiao.
The two of them were more familiar with each other than the entire crew, and when they walked away, they seemed like old, familiar friends.
Du Yixin stared at the two receding figures without a word.
Cheng Zhou pat his shoulder. “Little Du, work hard, okay?”
Du Yixin looked back at him and nodded expressionlessly.
[Ding! The system has upgraded successfully!]
[Congratulations! The host has obtained the Virtual Training Arena Upgrading Talisman x1]
[Ding! The host has accomplished the mission, 50 points have been rewarded!]
[Ding! The host has accomplished a hidden mission, 200 points have been rewarded!]
…
Gu Xiqiao had just separated from Li Yu at a fork in the road when the long-awaited mechanical voice rang out in her head.
The pale blue system spirit floated around in front of her with arms akimbo. “I’m back!”
“Congratulations, Lil’ System.” Gu Xiqiao curled her lips and smiled. “Why did it take you five days to finish upgrading this time, though?”
“It’s hard to explain, but quick! Make me a host body!” The system spirit hurriedly reminded.
As it spoke, the 3D model of a robot popped up on the system screen in front of her. “This is the most versatile robot I found in the system database, and it suits me the best!”
“…Do you really think I know how to do everything?” Gu Xiqiao’s lips twitched. Wasn’t making a robot something that only mechanics and engineers knew how to do?
“But you have the virtual space, don’t you?” The system blinked innocently. “With the ratio of time flow in there you can definitely learn how to make it, and you only have to learn how to make this specific robot, anyway!”
“Beauty Qiao, I can only feel the real world if I possess a robot.” At this, the system spirit sighed and continued with a depressed tone. “I don’t know how long I’ve existed as data.”
Gu Xiqiao held her forehead and flagged down a taxi, before getting in. “Alright, don’t put on that pitiful act with me.”
After that, she told the taxi driver to send her to A University, and upon hearing that her destination was the best education institute in the country, the taxi driver’s gaze was tinged with respect.
The best place to build a robot was definitely the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering in A University. They had labs and workshops that were on par with those in the Faculty of Medicine, and they had clinched many international awards too.
In the taxi, Gu Xiqiao closed her eyes and immersed herself into the virtual arena.
At first, she was quite confused when she looked at the robot assembly sketch, but the system found many books on her about mechanics, C programming language, and the theory of automatic control, and even though she didn’t need to brush up on her programming knowledge, she had never come into contact with anything else.
Studying all of this spent a lot of time.
Thankfully, she had netted a lot of points when the system upgraded, or else she might have gone broke from the one point per day cost.
When she got off the taxi, she had already been in the virtual arena for three months, spending ninety points.
After calling the dean of the faculty and getting permission from him, she walked over to their lab.
Their laboratory was completely different than that of the Faculty of Medicine, with various models and mechanical parts, and everyone in there was busy when she arrived.
“Beauty Gu, I can help with whatever you want!” Gu Xiqiao stood in front of a bunch of parts, and a bunch of students surrounded her.
Gu Xiqiao smiled politely. “I want to make a robot by myself, please don’t mind me.”
After she said so, they nodded in understanding.
“Well if you have any questions, you can come to ask me for help, I’ll be in the lab for the next few days anyway,” said one of the boys.
“Thank you.” Gu Xiqiao nodded, before looking at the bunch of parts in front of her.
At the table next to them was a boy and a girl, who were the most famous people in their faculty. If Luo Wenlang and Gu Xiqiao weren’t in this year, they would have become the most well-known students in the university. They had gotten an international patent back when they were in high school and were personally recruited by A University.
Upon hearing what Gu Xiqiao said, the girl snorted. “She wants to make a robot by herself? Does she think that robots can be made so easily? What was the professor thinking, letting a medicine student come into our lab! Won’t she spill our secrets?”
Her tone was quite condescending and it made the boy furrow his brow slightly, but he didn’t say anything in return. It was true, after all, that robots were difficult to make.
In actuality, most of the people in the laboratory thought that Gu Xiqiao was just here to have fun and play.
Not an hour later, they found themselves proven wrong.
Gu Xiqiao started fiddling with the spare parts with her head lowered, and for a moment, it was hard to tell if her aura was colder or the metal was.
As if they had a spirit of their own, the parts on the table seemed to fit together seamlessly in her hands.
Without even a single pause to think, she knew exactly which parts to place together when she touched them.
As to not cause any disturbance, she specifically chose an isolated position near the corner to do all this, and as she was working, she seemed like a painting that made it hard for people to move their gazes away from her.
She wasn’t completely focused on what she was doing, and she would occasionally pull out her phone and type out some messages.
In such a condition, an exquisite robot took form in her hands. Unlike the crudely crafted robots on the market, this robot was like an ingenious work of craftsmanship.
Then, she made her way to a computer and took out a PSP to program the robot, and as she placed her hands on the keys and prepared to type in the code, everyone watched on with bated breath.
At that moment, she took out her phone and replied to a message before she officially started.
Her fingers moved quickly as if they were flying, her eyes not looking at the keyboard whatsoever.
They had all learned C programming language before, but they had never seen someone start coding without a template.
It was after ten at night, and usually, people would have started to leave at this time, but none of them did today, looking at the girl in the corner of the room.
The porcelain finger tapped on the enter key, and the robot on the table moved. Not only did it move, it even bounced a few times before speaking with a robotic tone, “Beauty Qiao, I’m hungry!”
Everyone else in the lab: “…”
Gu Xiqiao gestured for the robot to follow her as she got up and prepared to leave, and when she stood up, she saw that everyone else was still in the lab. Quite surprisedly, she asked, “You guys haven’t left yet?”
No wonder the students in this faculty were well known, they were all so hardworking!
“Well, don’t work yourselves too hard okay?” Gu Xiqiao waved them goodbye, before walking out of the door.
She-
Had she succeeded?
That robot that Gu Xiqiao made could move just like a sentient being, and could even talk?
Was it a robot, or was it artificial intelligence?
“She made a robot just like that?” Someone asked, remembering her attitude when she was making the robot, the way she played games and chatted with people on her phone, and not only did she succeed in making a robot, and in such a short time too?
Another person rubbed their face in disbelief. “I thought that she was here to play, but are we the ones studying in this faculty, or is she?”
“Don’t you guys think that robot was very animated?” Someone asked. “It was as if it had a mind of its own…”
No one spoke after that, everyone was in utter disbelief.
The duo didn’t speak, and the girl, in particular, had the expression of someone that had seen a ghost. They knew better than anyone how hard it was to make a good robot, but she succeeded just like that?
“Look at the source code she left behind!” Someone exclaimed when they saw the computer Gu Xiqiao used.
The boy walked over to the computer, and the source code she used was left behind on a Word document, with several annotations and explanations underneath, and it was clear that it was left for them.
The boy looked at the source code that she left behind, and his expression turned into one of shock before he called their professor with a trembling voice, “Professor… I think we found our breakthrough in our experimental program, please come to the lab quickly!”
And so, the lights of the laboratory were left on all night.
The next day, the professor went to see Professor Jiang to get her to change her major. “She can take it as a second degree! You should have seen that robot that she made!”
Professor Jiang had quite a headache at how there were always all sorts of people that wanted to snatch Gu Xiqiao away from their faculty, but he still put on a smile. “Professor Lin, you can ask Student Gu about this. We will respect her decision!”
But actually, what he thought was, ‘Would that Gu Xiqiao get a second degree? That reincarnation of a snail? Pfft.’
Professor Lin: “…” If she agreed, would he come and look for him?!
And so, Professor Lin left with wounded pride.
After he left, Professor Jiang immediately took out his phone and called Zhu Yuan as he walked towards the lab in their faculty. “That brat was on campus yesterday, did she go back to the lab?”
“She was here? Why didn’t she come back to the lab?!” As expected, Zhu Yuan reacted like an angry cat puffing its fur.
Professor Jiang expected this, and replied, “She went over to the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering to make a robot, how would she have time for us?”
Meanwhile, Gu Xiqiao was on her way to N City on a flying ark.
“Judging from the looks of it this flying ark is quite the treasure! Speed, defense, and looks, the Baili family sure treats you well!” The system spirit scurried around the deck of the flying ark, its mechanical eyes almost lighting up.
Gu Xiqiao got to an isolated place and landed, smiling as she kept the flying ark. “You can look at it later. Let’s go back to Gu Estate.”
Chapter 239: Mysterious Disappearance
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The weather in N City in December was cold and dry, and the winds that blew were blisteringly cold.
Gu Xiqiao looked at these familiar streets, and for a moment it was as if she was dreaming.
The road to Shanhe Manor Area was still quite devoid of any passersby except for the occasional luxury car that drove by, bringing along with them several withered leaves.
The gates to Gu Estate had been refurbished after they were struck by lightning, but it didn’t look as nice as before, instead giving someone a sense of bleakness.
“Beauty Qiao, let me do it for you.” The system spirit made its way over to the gates before ringing the doorbell.
Someone came to the gates quickly, and Gu Xiqiao recognized him as the butler that always followed behind Master Gu.
The old butler seemed to be hard of vision and not in the best spirits either, and when he opened the door, it took quite a while to recognize who it was, and he exclaimed in a trembling tone, “S-Second Miss!”
At first, when she was brought here, the butler and the rest of the staff didn’t care much about her and even had a slight dislike towards her.
After everything Gu Xijin did had been revealed, however, they came to the late realization that Gu Xiqiao was the one that was the victim in that scenario and that they were the ones in the wrong. It was true, what she said—If someone had the choice, who would be willing to be an illegitimate daughter?
In the end, the Gu family was the one that had given her hope, then nipped all of it in the bud.
It was only an inevitability that Gu Enterprise would be acquired by Nine Heavens, and another inevitability that it would be in such a situation when it lost its most suitable heir, but at least the members of the Gu family didn’t have to sleep on the streets.
The old butler rubbed his eyes before he spoke in an anxious tone, “Second Miss, please leave! Don’t come back here again, okay?”
“I already told you people that I didn’t belong to the Gu family anymore after that day. You can just call me Miss Gu.” Upon saying this, Gu Xiqiao walked into Gu Manor. “What happened?”
“You can’t come in here, Second Miss!” Upon seeing her come in, the butler was greatly horrified. “Quick, leave before they come here! Please, Second Miss!”
As he said so, he tried to tug Gu Xiqiao out of the property.
The gates weren’t far away from the manor, and it was quite easy to hear the commotion from inside the manor. With a walking stick in hand, Master Gu made his way out with some difficulty. “Butler, what happened?”
In a mere few months, Master Gu’s physical and mental state seemed to have deteriorated greatly, to the point where he couldn’t even walk properly with a walking stick, his limbs trembling weakly.
“Master, Second Miss is back! I warned her not to come in but she didn’t listen to me!” The butler replied in dismay.
“You… What are you doing here? Leave, leave while you can!” Master Gu’s expression turned into one of horror, his eyes bulging as he held his chest.
Gu Xiqiao tugged on her jacket before looking at Master Gu with a calm expression as she ordered daintily and walked into the manor, “Butler, please help Master Gu into the manor.”
Upon seeing her actually enter the building both Master Gu and the butler reacted as if their very souls were sucked out of their bodies.
“You… Foolish!” The butler took out some pills and fed them to Master Gu, and the latter could finally breathe properly after that, but he only knocked his walking stick on the lacquered floor as tears flowed out of his eyes. “The butler told you to stay away, why did you still come in here?! You have always been stubborn, but stepping in here spells your doom!”
“What happened?” Gu Xiqiao acted as if she didn’t hear any of that as she asked the butler, finding it better than looking at Master Gu.
The butler replied with an expression of grief, “Second Miss, a few days ago the Fu family sent some people here and threatened to not leave any of us alive. Now, no one can go out of the manor once they walk in!”
“Why didn’t you call the police?” Gu Xiqiao furrowed her brows. She knew that Fu Wei would attack the Gu family some way or another, and she was here in N City in part to resolve this. The reason she did so was not only because of the mission that the system issued her but also because she was the only one that could bully the Gu family! Who were the Fu family to do this?
In any case, the Gu family was her gift to Luo Wenlin, and she wouldn’t let it be destroyed just like that.
She hadn’t expected Fu Wei to be so ruthless, to say that he won’t leave a single person alive? The Gu family had fallen, but it was still a family with a lot of members and staff, and the total count would come up to hundreds of people!
It was too ruthless to the point where it didn’t seem like Fu Wei was the one that did it.
It was no longer a regular incident, but a conflict that involved the ancient martial arts world and the secular world.
“Call the police?” The butler’s expression seemed to turn even more terrified at the notion. “Second Miss, they’re all immortals that can summon the wind and rain and fly! The police would be useless in this situation, nor would they dare to help!”
“Right, it’s alright, you’re not a member of the Gu family…” Master Gu suddenly remembered this, and at that moment, this fact that would make him feel so much regret that it hurt in the past only bought him happiness and made him rejoice. “You’re not a member of the Gu family, so you’ll be fine.”
Upon saying this, Master Gu looked over at the butler. “Quick, go get Mr. Fu to let Miss Gu out!”
“Right!” The butler’s eyes seemed to shine with hope as Master Gu reminded him of this too.
Other than butler and Master Gu, there were also several innocent youngsters from the branch families all huddled in a corner, shivering in fear.
After a short while, a middle-aged man walked down the stairs arrogantly, and there were several people following behind him.
“Mr. Fu was left behind by those immortals to supervise us, and if he understands the situation, you may be able to leave unscathed!” Master Gu whispered. “Miss Gu, please treat him with respect, even if it’s fake. This is a matter of life and death!”
“Master said that everyone that walks into these doors shall be killed unless he wants to take them in as outer disciples.” The man scoffed. “Killed without mercy!”
“Mr. Fu, please let Ms. Gu go, she’s innocent!” The butler immediately got down on his knees and prostrated himself. “I’m begging you!”
“Scram!” The man only scowled and swung his leg in the butler’s direction.
The butler was just a regular person, so he didn’t care if this blow caused fatal injuries.
The butler closed his eyes, but the pain that he anticipated never came, and opening his eyes while trembling, he saw a robot that was eighty centimeters tall blocking the kick from Fu.
Gu Xiqiao got up from her seat and looked around the manor with squinted eyes. The entire manor was enveloped in a killing array that would kill anyone that stepped out of the premises with sword chi. This sort of array would be nothing in the ancient martial arts world, but placed in the secular world, such an array made it impossible for any of the victims to fight back.
They used this against regular people? A cold glint flashed through her eyes. “I’ll deal with this.”
Fu only looked at Gu Xiqiao with a sneer. “The entire manor is enveloped with a heavenly and earthly array, and he’ll come for you people tonight! None of you will be able to run!”
A pulse of chi surged in his body and he kicked at the robot again, but it was completely useless, and his expression finally changed.
“An arrogant one, aren’t you?” Gu Xiqiao smiled dangerously and raised her hand, making a strand of purple lightning wrap around Fu and hung him over the gates of Gu Manor.
After she did all of this, she turned around and left.
“No, Second Miss, you’ll get…” The butler shook himself into reality and saw Gu Xiqiao walk toward the metal gates, and he immediately chased after her frantically.
If they could live, who would want to die? Several people had tried to escape Gu Manor in the past few days, but they all died the moment they stepped out of the gates, then turned into minced meat.
In other words, it was an unnecessarily gory way to die.
That was the reason why the butler chased after her like that.
Meanwhile, Gu Xiqiao stepped out the gates without a single scratch, and she raised her hand and waved with her back to the manor.
The silhouette disappeared quickly, and the butler looked up at Fu that was wrapped up in a cocoon of purple lightning in confusion. Had their Second Miss done this?
“Second Miss is back!” At the same time, all the youngsters that were cowering a moment ago all jumped and cheered, crying in happiness and hugging each other from their narrow escape from death. “We don’t need to be afraid of those people!”
***
Meanwhile, on the northern side of N City.
A bunch of people seemed to be celebrating a great success, and one of the young people looked towards the person that sat in the main seat with awe and admiration. “Brother Lu, we’ve taken over all of N City!”
‘Brother Lu’ was one of the ‘immortals’ that appeared in N City, and he had the ability to control water, fire, and fly.
His appearance here caused great fear and admiration in this small city, and in a mere few days, he had already taken over all of N City.
The man that was called ‘Brother Lu’ seemed to be around thirty years old, and he was quite buff and burly. Even in this cold weather, he only wore a single shirt as if it wasn’t cold at all.
‘Brother Lu’ smirked and raised his cup, seemingly wanting to give a toast, but all of a sudden he realized that he couldn’t move anymore.
At the same time, the doors were pushed open and a figure that seemed like a young woman walked in, and it was as if she were surrounded by a haze, the way they all couldn’t tell how she looked like other than the silhouette. That moment, they were terrified to realize that they couldn’t speak nor move, and a clear voice resounded in their heads, saying, “Sorry for interrupting, but I have to take this Brother Lu away. Please, by all means, continue.”
After she said so, Brother Lu immediately disappeared.
In a few minutes, all of the ‘immortals’ that appeared in N City were brought away by a mysterious person, and this immediately caused panic in N City. How could such strong and mysterious superhumans be whisked away just like that?!
Chapter 240: Who Did She Learn it From?
Gu Xiqiao dragged Brother Lu and was about to throw him off to Gu Estate, but she quickly changed her mind.
She threw Brother Lu to an abandoned warehouse before glancing at the robot by her legs. Knowing what she wanted, the system spirit nodded and pointed towards the air, and a semi-transparent map of N City appeared in the air in front of them along with several red dots on them.
Gu Xiqiao checked on the coordinates before the air around her rippled and she disappeared.
She still hadn’t forgotten the time the system spirit sent her to the wrong coordinates.
Lil’ System: “…” Could she have more faith? Like Zi Wei trusted Er Kang?*
It was right around the time when school would let out for First City high.
A bunch of students flocked out from the gates, and Gu Xiqiao quickly spotted Li Yanmei from the crowd.
There were a lot of people there at the time, but Li Yanmei saw Gu Xiqiao immediately because of her distinct aura, and honestly, all she had to do was just follow the distracted gazes of everyone else around her.
“Little Gu!” Li Yanmei waved excitedly at Gu Xiqiao before jogging over.
Gu Xiqiao kept her phone and smiled. “Sister Mei.”
“Little Gu, when did you come back?” Li Yanmei smiled and greeted.
“Just a while ago, here to check on some things.” Gu Xiqiao looked at the reference books that the other held in her hands. “How has studying been going?”
“Those notes of yours worked like a charm!” Li Yanmei’s eyes brightened. The teachers in First City High were all top-notch, and they had already started their revision sessions for the final year students with terribly difficult composite questions, and Li Yanmei didn’t even have a clue what they were teaching because she came in halfway.
Thankfully, she had the notes that Gu Xiqiao had given her, and the notes given were easy to understand and had a very gentle difficulty curve with questions and examples, and after using them, Li Yanmei could catch up with what the teachers were saying.
This was further proven when she got into the top fifty in school during their exams, and this greatly shocked her teachers to the point where they thought she cheated, but their attitude made a complete one-eighty after they found out that she knew Gu Xiqiao and even had custom made notes from her.
It was quite unavoidable that Li Yanmei was subject to a lot of neglect and cold shoulders, coming from a village to the big city, and even though she wasn’t bullied or ostracized by her classmates, she wasn’t particularly well-accepted either as everyone was too busy with their studies.
Gu Xiqiao wasn’t in school anymore, but there were still many rumors about her at school, and almost every teacher would say, “If Student Gu was here…”
This sentence was said at such frequency that almost every student in the school had heard of her name.
After it was known that she knew Gu Xiqiao, there was an incredibly noticeable difference in how her classmates treated her.
“Hey, don’t ignore me, pretty lady!” The system spirit bounced indignantly on the ground upon being ignored by everyone that passed by.
Such an excellently made robot such as itself would have become the center of attention wherever it went, but the moment it was placed next to Gu Xiqiao, no one noticed it after their attention was solely held by her.
Li Yanmei lowered her head, and her eyes widened slightly upon seeing the robot that was on the ground. “Little Gu, what is this?”
“This is Lil’ System.” Gu Xiqiao pat the metal head affectionately. “Lil’ System, greet Sister Mei!”
The system spirit immediately waved its robot arms. “Hullo, Sister Mei!”
Li Yanmei: “…” Was this robot a yaoguai?
And so the two girls chatted with each other as they walked away from the gates.
At that moment, a voice called out behind them, “Ah Mei, wait for me! Ah Mei!”
Then, a pure-looking boy sprinted over before stuffing something into Li Yanmei’s hands, and Gu Xiqiao smiled mirthfully upon seeing that it was a red, ripe apple.
“I told you not to come looking for me anymore, Ying Qi!” Li Yanmei stuffed the apple back into his hands expressionlessly before dragging Gu Xiqiao away.
Ying Qi looked on helplessly as the two girls left, and before he could react a bunch of people in black suits came towards him. “Young Master, Third Young Master is asking that you return immediately!”
Ying Qi was quiet for a moment before he shouted in Li Yanmei’s direction, “Ah Mei, I’ll be back!”
“Pfft.” Gu Xiqiao couldn’t help but laugh. “Sister Mei, I think this kid is pretty nice!”
Li Yanmei glared at Gu Xiqiao weakly. “This kid? He’s the same age as I am…Fine, let’s go back home yes? I haven’t finished eating the stuff my mom sent me, so let me cook them up for you!”
Gu Xiqiao stopped walking and looked back at the direction where Ying Qi’s car left, and she shook her head. “Maybe not now.”
At the same time, a system notification rung in her head.
[Ding! Random mission activated: Rescue the mission objective.]
[Mission completion reward: 100 points]
[Mission failure punishment: None]
Gu Xiqiao cracked her knuckles, her lips curling slightly.
Seeing her smile, Li Yanmei suddenly felt cold and made a mental note to wear a jacket when she got home!
***
Meanwhile, the black car had become a bunch of scrap metal in an alleyway near First City High.
A bunch of people were battling with each other, but it was just a one-sided beat-down.
Ten strong, burly men were fighting with the men in black suits, and with a single blow, one of the men in black suits was flying into the walls with such force that it cracked. The others knew that they were no match for these monsters, so they did all they could to delay them. “Run, Young Master! Go find Third Young Master!”
Upon seeing this scene, Ying Qi bit his lip hesitantly and ran away.
“Young Master Ying, do you think you can run?” A bald man chased after him with an expression akin to a cat chasing after a mouse.
Upon seeing that he couldn’t leave, Ying Qi threw away his bag and swung his fist towards him. He had stayed in the army for a while so he was quite physically fit and strong, but he couldn’t even make the bald man stagger.
The bald man looked at Ying Qi with a sneer. “All of the special ops squads in N City have died in my hands, and you won’t be an exception!”
“So it was you!” Ying Qi suddenly remembered what happened lately in N City in shock. He had heard his third brother say that the ones that were stirring trouble in N City weren’t regular people, but he never expected to meet them on that day. The members of the special ops squads were all the cream of the crop in China, but they weren’t even a match for these people.
The bald man ignored his exclamation and swung a pole towards his head.
Ying Qi closed his eyes and curled defensively, knowing that he couldn’t do anything to fight back against them. Third Brother was right, not even the top special forces in the world could fight against them, lest himself.
Unexpectedly, he didn’t feel any pain.
Ying Qi squeezed open his eyes to see a scene that he would remember for the rest of his life. In front of him was a girl in a sky blue jacket, and the girl held the man by his neck as if the man was just a helpless chicken.
Gu Xiqiao smiled and looked up at the man that was looking at her in horror, before curling the fingers of her spare hand into a fist.
Bop! Bop! Bop!
The burly men with mysterious powers were all like sandbags in front of Gu Xiqiao, and Ying Qi finally recognized her as the girl that was standing by Li Yanmei. His attention was completely attracted by Li Yanmei so he didn’t quite note her presence, but he hadn’t expected her to be so strong.
These ten men were the insanely strong, or else the higher-ups wouldn’t have sent his third brother to check on this incident. In the hands of these men was the blood of countless special ops members, and this group was a calamity to N City!
His brother had even reported this, and they were in the middle of preparations to evacuate the civilians and list N City as a hazard zone.
They hadn’t expected these ten people to have been taken care of so easily!
“Thank you for rescuing us, Miss.” Ying Qi stood up straight and thanked. “My name is Ying Qi, I’m Ah… Student Li’s deskmate.”
Gu Xiqiao only smiled politely before taking out her phone to call the police, walking out the alleyway as she did.
“Young Master, that was…” One of the black-suited bodyguards coughed up blood before he looked over in Gu Xiqiao’s direction with belated shock.
“A master! That was a master!” Ying Qi immediately took out his phone and called his brother. “Third Brother, I’m okay! But no that’s not the point, I was saved by a master! Tch, it’s hard to explain, just come here!”
After a single afternoon and half a night, all of the superpowered people that were stirring the pot in N City disappeared.
The next morning, they were all sent to the police station.
***
In the ancient martial arts world.
“The crisis has been averted” One of the elders in the council immediately stood up at the news. “Was it the Peace Squad again?!”
Other than this monstrous team, they couldn’t think of anyone else that could clear things up in such a violent fashion, but did they set their sights on N City too?!
“No, reports say that it was the work of a single person.” The person that reported this was in disbelief himself as he said this. “Apparently those people were all whisked away without a trace.”
The ancient martial arts world had actually sent out a team themself, but it seemed that they only got there to hear this news.
“Whisked away? By a single person?!” All the elders were shocked.
The appearance of the Peace Squad had been enough of a hit to their confidence, but they had been able to breathe a sigh of relief later on because they knew that the Peace Squad wasn’t against the ancient martial arts world.
They had barely been able to breathe before this news came, and what was going on in this world?? Was there a factory that produced masters out of thin air somewhere??
“Alright, don’t be too shocked.” Elder Jiang put down the Buddhist scripture book that he had been looking through recently in an effort to stop himself from having a heart attack due to the Peace Squad, and said, “I hear that Yi Tong and Miss Cecillia are in N City right as we speak.”
As soon as he said this, all the other elders breathed a collective sigh of relief. “If it was Miss Cecillia, then it would be understandable.”
“It seems that she has become much stronger! I wonder if Miss Jiang Tong can catch up to her…”
Elder Jiang picked up his scripture book again, not caring about the conversation that was going on as he thought back to that Miss Gu that saved him that night.
Could Miss Cecillia and Miss Jiang Tong beat her? He doubted it.
Elder Jiang sighed. She caused so many waves without even officially stepping into the ancient martial arts world, and what would happen the day she did? The more he thought of it, he felt his head ache again.
***
Meanwhile, at Yao Jiamu’s training arena.
Tang Qinghong stood at the entrance of the cave and looked at the dragon made of purple lightning, breathing deeply before he dragged Yin Shaoyuan.
“What?” Yin Shaoyuan had just come out to rest after getting through one level, and he was stuffed into a car before he even had time to react. “Where are we going?”
“We’re going to find Xiao Yun.” Tang Qinghong’s brows furrowed slightly.
Xiao Yun? Yin Shaoyuan was a little confused. It was around the time that Xiao Yun left work after filming, but what was he looking for her for? “Hey Qinghong, let me tell you. There are a lot of good girls in this world, why do you have to fall for her? She’s…”
Tang Qinghong glanced at him. “The elders know.”
“What?!” Yin Shaoyuan’s expression changed. “Is there something wrong with those old farts? Do they have to stick their fingers into everything? Drive faster! If anything happens to Xiao Yun, Qiao Qiao is going to kill me!”
Tang Qingqiu would probably kill him too!
And so the two drove there full speed, and upon reaching Studio City, they were met with a jaw-dropping scene.
Xiao Yun kicked the last person away before flipping her hair gracefully and returning to her usual aloof self as she looked at the duo. “Why are you two here?”
Yin Shaoyuan & Tang Qinghong: “…”
The elders were definitely going to cry! Who had she learned this violence from?
