Chapter 397: Side Story 17: Swift And Deadly!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
âW-Who are you?â Wen Qing looked at the person who had appeared suddenly, and took an involuntary step back.
Thatâs right, the Wen family had currently already managed to form an alliance with the mysterious power world, and Wen Qing herself had been said to be talented in ancient martial arts. Because of that, she had become even more arrogant, and when she heard that Tan Yongsi had caught the eyes of Americaâs power world as well as the Feng family, she could no longer stay calm.
She wanted to teach Tan Yongsi a lesson, but she didnât expect that a strange woman would suddenly appear out of nowhere.
This person had appeared in the strangest way possible, and if she wasnât in front of her, Wen Qing would have even suspected that she had been hallucinating.
Gu Xiqiao calmly glanced at Wen Qing, and snapped her fingers. âYou donât have to worry about who I am at the moment. Getting back to what you just said, you wanted Miss Tan to see you reach the peak of the world?â
Wen Qingâs heart thumped hard in her chest, and she clenched her fist tightly, taking a deep breath to steady herself. Everyone in France had said that she was extremely talented, and even in the ancient martial arts standard, she was considered to be of the higher tiers. It was only a matter of time before she would be standing at the top of the world.
Wen Qing truly believed in their words. If it werenât for that, why would France send these masters in order for her to use as she pleased?
She pushed down the anxiety that she was feeling at this moment when she thought about it, raising her head to look at Gu Xiqiao. âThatâs right, my spiritual power has been acknowledged by the ancient martial arts world!â
The ancient martial arts world!
That was the most powerful force in the entire world in this current time!
Getting acknowledgment from the ancient martial arts world had placed Wen Qing and the Wen family at the top of the secular world in China.
Because of that, Wen Qingâs behavior wasnât without reason.
âFine, weâll see you tomorrow.â Gu Xiqiao pulled out her phone, checking the time. âYou can go home now, and cherish the last night of your happy days.â
With a wave of her hands, Wen Qing and the men with her disappeared from the spot.
Tan Yongsiâs eyes widened when she saw the people in front of her disappeared, and she almost forgot to breathe.
âTan Yongsi?â A clear, melodious voice spoke near her ear, and Tan Yongsi pulled herself back from her stunned stupor. She stared at the girl in front of her with a dazed look in her eyes. âG-G-Goddess?â
ââŠâ Gu Xiqiao rubbed her temples. âWhat Wen Qing said was right just now.â
âRight?â Tan Yongsi finally returned to her normal self, and thought back to what the other girl had said in their confrontation just now. Her brows furrowed. âYou mean, she really does have the talent?â
If that was really the caseâŠ
Tan Yongsi pursed her lips, clenching her fist tightly as her nails dug into her palms.
âYes, her spiritual power and talents are indeed very strong. In the general selection tomorrow, I expect there will be many bigger families who will be fighting over her, with the talents that she has.â Gu Xiqiao didnât bother sugarcoating her words. In a family, the most important thing was talent, and thatâs why they wouldnât spare any effort to win over those with real talents in the annual general selection.
âThe ancient martial arts worldâŠâ If she had doubted Wen Qingâs words, there was no longer any after she heard it from Gu Xiqiao. Because of this, she could feel the despair slowly eating into her.
The ancient martial arts world was a power that was beyond the top of the world, its existence was the envy of all the power worlds across the globe.
Though Tan Yongsi was not from the ancient martial arts world, she also knew this as a fact. If Wen Qing really became a member of the ancient martial arts world, then her so-called revenge would become the biggest joke of all.
âSo⊠Do you want to become stronger than Wen Qing?â Gu Xiqiao touched her chin, flashing her a light smile. Her long eyelashes swayed softly with the wind, her black eyes clear and unhindered, calm and attractive.
Become stronger than Wen Qing?
Tan Yongsi stared at Gu Xiqiao in disbelief. Was she joking, or what the heck was she doing?!
If this was before she had found out that Wen Qing had the talents to enter the ancient martial arts world, she probably would have struggled a little more. But after tomorrow, Wen Qing would be part of the ancient martial arts world. It wasnât like she was looking down on herself, but the words âancient martial arts worldâ was enough to crush all her hopes and leave her breathless.
âAre you sure youâre not pulling my leg?â Tan Yongsi smiled bitterly.
Gu Xiqiao shook her head. âOf course not. If youâre willing, then youâll be attending the general selection tomorrow.â
The general selection of the ancient martial arts world? Tan Yongsi was taken aback. âBut⊠I never signed up.â
âThat wonât be a problem.â Gu Xiqiao pulled out a golden token from her pocket. âYouâll be able to participate with this.â
Tan Yongsi took the token with a stumped look on her face. She had heard of the two ways to participate in the general selection. One was to register a year in advance, but the selections for the registration itself were very demanding, and those who got through the screening were few; and then there was the second way, which was through accepting invitations from families in the ancient martial arts world. The way of invitation was to give a special token to the person who had caught the eye of the person from the ancient martial arts world.
The image of those tokens had been leaked before, and the shape was similar to the one she was holding in her hands. However, the difference was this was made of gold, while the one she had seen before was made of wood.
On the golden token, a powerful, bold word was written on itâGu!
At this time, the red bird on Tan Yongsiâs shoulder couldnât take it anymore!
It flapped its wings furiously, shooting off like an arrow from a bow, with a âtwangâ, heading straight towards Gu Xiqiao!
âXixi!â Tan Yongsi exclaimed in horror as she watched the scene unfold in front of her. âGoddess, look out!â
She had once experienced Xixiâs flames, and even her upgraded talismans hadnât been able to stop its fire, which proved just how powerful Xixiâs fire was. So when she saw Xixi shooting straight towards Gu Xiqiao, how could she not panic?!
However, Tan Yongsiâs eyes widened for the second time in the next moment.
Because she saw Gu Xiqiao merely reach out a slender, white hand, and patted Xixi on the head, and it fell to the ground, just like that.
Tan Yongsiâs mouth was agape.
When did such a powerful, mythical beast become so easy to beat in one hit?
Also, this was a sacred beast, how could the goddess casually slap it to the ground like that?!
Tan Yongsi looked at Xixi on the ground, and was afraid for a second that it would really raze the entire Imperial Capital to the ground with its flames.
While she was still in shock, Xixi didnât seem to look the least angry that it had been slapped to the ground. It got off the ground easily, as though it hadnât been just slapped a moment ago, looking up at Gu Xiqiao.
Tan Yongsi dared to swear to the lamp, a series of emotions that she couldnât understand flashed through the eyes of the mythical, sacred beast that usually only held cold arrogance in its eyes.
âBeauty Qiao! Waaah!â Xixiâs body suddenly expanded several times bigger than its usual size, grabbing Gu Xiqiaoâs leg with its claws. âDo you not want me anymore?â
Gu Xiqiao shifted her leg slightly, and Xixi went bouncing backward. She lowered her head, looking at Xixi with her dark, coal eyes. Her face was indifferent as she said, âBe good and follow behind Miss Tan properly.â
Having said that, she disappeared from the spot, and from Xixiâs sight.
Xixi wailed even more depressingly at this.
âWhen you first diedâŠâ A green robot suddenly appeared, holding a pink flower in its mechanical arms. âDid you know, Haha didnât eat anything for half a month.â
Xixi looked at the robot and flower that had appeared, choking. âThen, whereâs Haha? I havenât seen it since I came back.â
It knew that Haha wasnât the same as them, and it was just a normal dog. Not eating for fifteen days⊠Xixi sniffed, unable to imagine what would happen.
âIt passed away,â Jiji said, looking at Xixi calmly. âHaha was just a regular dog. On the fifteenth day of your death, it also died.â
After Jiji finished talking, it didnât wait for Xixiâs reaction before turning to Tan Yongsi. âGood luck for tomorrowâs selection, Miss Tan.â
Xixi was stunned.
Actually, it knew that something was wrong from the moment Tan Yongsi pulled out that dog bowl for Xixi to use.
But hearing it from Jijiâs own mouth, it couldnât react. Haha⊠was dead? Why?
Xixi tried to think of happier thoughts, but it couldnât. How could it? Haha really had just been a normal dog, it wasnât like Xixi, a mythical beast. It wasnât like Jiji either, a super-powered existence. It even more wasnât like Dog Feed, who had gained spiritual wisdomâŠ
Tan Yongsi brought Xixi back to the dormitory, but she found that the mythical beast wouldnât eat or drink the entire night, sitting in the beautiful, priceless bowl, staring blankly at the space in front of it.
***
The night before the general selection, everyone in the Imperial Capital was feeling uneasy.
In the Wen family residence, Wen Qing was clenching her fist tightly. The people from France had given her a call again, and she forgot all about the terrifying run in with Gu Xiqiao, and was anticipating the grand show she would be giving everyone tomorrow!
In the national guest house, Americaâs leader was drinking a cup of tea, and he let out a sigh. âMiss Gu has really found Tan Yongsi already?â
âThatâs right.â Cecily also let out a sigh. âI donât know what this Tan Yongsi has done to catch Qiao Qiaoâs eye.â
âThe main reason is probably because of Master Xixi.â The leader put down his cup. âMiss Gu has never accepted a disciple in the many years sheâs been here. This time, she actually gave Tan Yongsi a token, and it seems like she wants to accept her as a disciple. Thinking about how another monster is about to appear in the worldâŠâ
Hearing these two go back and forth on this topic, the young man beside them couldnât help but interrupt, âLeader, that Tan Yongsiâs talent is very ordinary from what I saw. According to the investigation from France, the most talented dark horse this time should be Wen Qing, why are you guys so fixated on the one named Tan Yongsi?â
âIf I say youâre not old enough to understand, you wonât believe me, right? Just wait for tomorrow, youâll understand.â Cecily was too lazy to explain, and she waved her hand as she spoke. âIâll be heading back first. Thereâs a hot pot party happening in Peace Manor tonight, and I wonât have anything to eat if Iâm late to it.â
After she left, the young man scratched the back of his head, wondering why he couldnât really understand what Cecily was trying to say.
However, he was also slightly shocked by Cecilyâs casual attitude towards the leader.
The leader didnât mind it at all, since Americaâs power world was where it was today largely due to the relationship between Cecily and Gu Xiqiao. From the bottom of his heart, he felt extremely grateful towards Cecily. It was to the point that he had once wanted to hand over the position of leader to her, but she had turned it down.
The leader of America looked at the young man who still had a look of doubt on his face, and chuckled lightly. âDo you think that the strength of the ancient martial arts world is measured based on their strength?â
âIsnât it?â The young manâs eyes widened. It wasnât only the ancient martial arts world, wasnât it the same for the power worlds? The stronger the talent, the stronger they would be in terms of strength.
âOf course.â Americaâs leader sighed. âIn the ancient martial arts world, there is someone who never follows the path paved by the heavens for her. There are only things that she never thought of, but there is nothing she cannot do. Do you know what is the most frightening force in the ancient martial arts world currently?â
âYouâre talking about the Peace Squad?â The Peace Squad, who had recently emerged was the talk of all the power worlds, so the young man had obviously heard of them.
What he didnât understand was why was the leader bringing this up right now?
âNowadays, the majority of the people only know that the Peace Squad is extremely powerful.â The leader said softly. âBut how many know that, before joining the Peace Squad, they were all ordinary people with ordinary talents, and some of them were even gangsters?â
The young man was stunned speechless at the words, and he could only stare at the leader with wide eyes.
***
The next day, it was time for the general selection in the ancient martial arts world.
Based on Chinaâs scale of population, there were many who came to participate in it. They all stood at the junction between the secular world and the ancient martial arts world, waiting for the people from various families to select talents from the gathered people.
Wen Qing and Yan Han were among these people.
In addition to being selected as participants in the general selection, they also needed to have the power and be well informed. Naturally, they knew that Wen Qingâs talent was great by default, and was certain to be accepted into the ancient martial arts world, which made them show more respect for her.
While Wen Qing was listening to the pleasing words of the people around her, her eyes caught sight of a familiar figure. âTan Yongsi, why is she here?â
When he heard the name, Yan Han was also surprised. He followed Wen Qingâs gaze, and instantly saw the familiar figure, and was stunned.
Seeing him in this state, Wen Qing couldnât help the mocking curl of her lips. âLetâs go, letâs see if she really has the talent or not.â
Yan Han could only follow Wen Qing over silently.
Tan Yongsi was already testing her talent. The test was simple and straightforward, there was a black stone at the center of the square. As long as you touch the stone while standing under it, it would show the level of your spiritual power.
Majority of the ordinary people would be at a low level, and the qualified ones were generally at an intermediate level, and there were only a handful of high-level ones. As for the unique level, there had never been anyone who was on that level. There were rumors that there was an even higher level, but no one had ever seen anybody reaching that height.
Wen Qing had already been tested, and she had fallen into the high level, and was one of the people with the highest spiritual power in recent years.
That was the reason why countless people had started to follow her once she had appeared, and also the reason why Franceâs power world would place so much value on her.
When Tan Yongsi placed her hand on the stone, a light flashed before revealing her levelâlow level.
âPft, how dare a low-level person come to enter the general selections, arenât you aware of the minimum requirement to enter the ancient martial arts world?â Wen Qing sneered, leaning in closer to Tan Yongsiâs ears as she said mockingly, âWere you envious because Iâll be entering the ancient martial arts world? What a pity, youâre destined to only chase after my footsteps forever!â
Yan Han breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Tan Yongsiâs results. He had been frightened yesterday when he heard that Tan Yongsi had met with two big shots one after another. Now that he saw she had practically no talent, he felt a relief course through him.
âBut I heard that you never signed up, so how did you come here?â Wen Qing looked at Tan Yongsi, her voice raised as she spoke. âA low-level ordinary person, daring to participate in the general selection, did you get here through opening a backdoor with connections? I canât believe this sort of thing would happen in the ancient martial arts world!â
As soon as she said that, those brainless people who clung to her also began to mutter amongst themselves, agreeing with Wen Qingâs words.
They didnât see the old man who was in charge of the black stone staring at the red bird on Tan Yongsiâs shoulder, the shock clear on his face. It took a long while before he finally came back to his senses, and he hurried to Tan Yongsiâs side, his eyes looking intently at her. âMiss, may I ask, how did you come across this bird?â
âSecond Elder, who are you calling a bird? Donât you recognize your Master Xixi anymore?â Xixi glanced at the old man, puffing its chest pompously, with its head raised high.
The second elder froze for a while at that, and he leaned over towards Xixi when he managed to collect himself. âYouâre back, Master Xixi?â
âYes. Let her pass the general selection, Beauty Qiao intends to take her in as her disciple.â Xixi flapped its wings as it spoke.
The second elder felt the shock course through him, and studied Tan Yongsi for a while, before giving her a more respectful look. He handed her a wooden token to enter the ancient martial arts world. âPlease wait a moment, Miss Tan. Iâll take care of it.â
He knew that although Tan Yongsi was just an ordinary person now, she would soon become like those people in Peace Manor, one more crazy than the other!
He never expected that Miss Gu would actually want to accept a disciple?
Once news of this got out, the entire ancient martial arts world would be shocked, right?
The second elderâs display caused the words of Wen Qing and everyone elseâs to be stuck in their throats. Before they came here, they had been clearly warned that the person who was in charge of the test and black stone was clearly someone of high status in the ancient martial arts world. You could mess with anyone else, but not this person!
But now they were clearly seeing that this person of high status in the ancient martial arts world was actually being so polite and courteous towards Tan Yongsi?!
Wasnât Tan Yongsi just an ordinary person? What in the world had happened that they didnât know about?
âMy lord, Tan Yongsi obviously came in through underhanded means, I donât understand why you would choose her?!â Wen Qingâs face changed drastically once she saw this scene. When she had taken the test just now, the second elderâs face had not twitched at all. Why was he reacting so much when Tan Yongsi had low spiritual power?
âUnderhanded means?â The second elder shot Wen Qing a cold look, then turned kindly to Tan Yongsi. âThat one should have given you a keepsake, right?â
Tan Yongsi was taken aback. A keepsake?
She quickly understood what the second elder was talking about, and solemnly pulled out the golden token from her pocket.
The structure of the token was simple, and the edge an intricate design pattern, and the word in the center of it was very conspicuous. The big âGuâ sent a chill up all the spines of the people looking at it!
Forget about the ordinary people, even the second elder who was looking at the word felt his mental power being affected. An illusion appeared involuntarily in everyoneâs minds, as if seeing a person shattering the mountains and rivers with a single swipe of a sword!
âOh my god, who wrote this word? Itâs just one word, but the impact on everyone is huge?!â
âA master, itâs definitely a master!â
âI wonder if there will be a day when Iâll be able to reach that level!â
The chatter went on for a while, until the second elder snorted coldly, bringing everyoneâs attention to him and snapping them out from their daydream. âDo you know now?â
The moment he said that, no one else dared to say anything.
Wen Qing, as well as everyone else present were obviously still dissatisfied, but they didnât dare to argue with the second elder. They still felt the resentment in their hearts. âWhat the heck? Isnât the ancient martial arts world the fairest existence in the world? How could a person like Tan Yongsi be recruited into it?â
âYeah, sheâs just an ordinary person with low-level spiritual powers! How can she even have the legendary gold token!â
While Wen Qing and the rest of them were talking, they didnât notice that the others around them had moved to stand far away from them. They looked at Wen Qing and the rest with a look like they were looking at dead people.
Didnât they see what Tan Yongsi had on her shoulder?!
Master Xixi!
The hottest pet thatâs right in front of you!
For Master Xixi to actually be following Tan Yongsi, no more explanation was needed!
âTan Yongsi just got a bit more lucky than others, but everything in the ancient martial arts world depends on your own strength. Iâll definitely let them see that they made the wrong choice!â Wen Qing lowered her head, clenching her fist tightly.
As for the people around her, some of them were already yelling out âunfairnessâ.
âStop yelling. If you continue yelling, not just yourself, even your entire family will be wiped by the ancient martial arts world.â At this time, a middle-aged man with a hip flask walked over slowly. He looked at Wen Qing, giving her a cold sneer. âHow can any of you compare to the person that Miss Gu intends to take in as her disciple?â
âMiss⊠Miss Gu?â Wen Qing and Yan Han were not familiar with the name, but everyone else around them was. It was a name that thundered in their ears, a name that came with a well-known reputation.
Coupled with the magnificent feat performed by the Peace Squad a few days ago, this name was deeply etched into the majority of the peopleâs minds.
âYou donât know who Miss Gu is? Then I will tell you this, Miss Gu, the Gu family, Gu Enterprise, Nine Heavens, they hold the control of the global economic lifeline. Not only that, the entire ancient martial arts world respects them. As for Miss Gu, if you donât know who she is, then youâd better go back and ask your parents. Ah, but itâs useless anyway.â The man gave them one last glance, then left with his hands clasped behind his back. When he looked at Tan Yongsi, it was a gaze full of admiration.
***
Gu Xiqiao had been gone for twenty years, and it seemed that none of the youngsters these days remembered such a person, nor did they remember that she had once lit up an entire era, making it glorious.
Only the older generation never forgot!
The era when the secular world and the ancient martial arts world were both at their peak, was the time when Gu Xiqiao had once led them all!
Today, those top forces that remained in the power worlds were basically all the people that she had once trained!
The Peace Squad!
The ten-man team of America!
The younger generation of the ancient martial arts world!
These were all the pinnacle forces currently!
Any one of these forces on their own was enough to wipe out the entire existence of the power worlds.
There were also those people from the various power worlds who had gathered in the Imperial Capital, all of these people were from the upper management levels.
All of these mysterious, powerful forces had appeared one after another just before this general election, all for the sake of one personâGu Xiqiao!
This person who had practically been hidden from existence had finally appeared in public once again.
At the same time, countless people wondered what was so special about this person. Gu Xiqiao, what was special about her that she deserved such admiration from these people, even to the point of blind worshiping?
It wasnât until some of the previously banned videos were finally able to be broadcasted.
The ordinary folk finally saw an unbelievable scene. There were just so many videos, and most of them were of a figure of a slender woman, with countless mutated beasts that they didnât even dare to dream about. The way she walked among the mutated beasts seemed like she was just taking a casual stroll in the park.
More importantly was the methods that she had used to teach the younger generation of the ancient martial arts world back thenâŠ
After seeing this, Yan Han and Wen Qing finally understood the horror that was Gu Xiqiao, and also the horror that was Tan Yongsi.
A person like Gu Xiqiao was a godlike existence in the eyes of the ancient martial arts world, as well as all the power worlds across the globe. The Peace Squad was just an ordinary team of people, and she had trained them to become the most terrifying force on earth.
After Wen Qing watched the videos, she couldnât help but fall back onto the sofa, her legs unable to support her. It was no wonder the people from France had stopped all contact with her abruptly, it seems like they already knew about this.
Thinking back to how she had looked down and insulted Gu Xiqiao just a few days ago, Wen Qing felt that she was an embarrassment. She probably wasnât even significant in the eyes of the other party at that time, right?
âQing Qing? Whatâs going on? Why did the disciplinary inspection come to our home?â Papa Wen walked in the house, asking when he reached her. The Wen family had been frightened by a bunch of notices recently, especially Papa Wen, who was now the subject of a key investigation.
Wen Qing gave her father a blank look. âWrong, we were all wrong.â
Why had they picked a fight against Gu Xiqiao?
At the same moment, a knock on the door was heard, and a group of police officers walked in. The leading officer pulled out his ID, holding it in front of Wen Qing. âWen Qing, please come with us.â
As he said that, he waved his hand, and another officer came forward to place a handcuff on Wen Qingâs hands.
Generally when the police arrested a person, they wouldnât handcuff said person unless they had enough evidence.
Seeing the only hope of their Wen family being taken away by the police, Papa Wen couldnât help but exclaim loudly, âWhat are you all doing?! Why the h*ll are you taking my daughter away?!â
âMr. Wen, please stay calm.â The leading police officer said, looking at Papa Wen. âSomeone sent us a document today, which was evidence of your Wen family colluding with France to sell out our countryâs secrets. If itâs true, then you wonât be able to escape either.â
Having said that, the group of police officers left.
Papa Wen stood rooted to the spot, looking as though he had forgotten his daughter had just been taken away by the police. He was stunned for a very long time.
However, he didnât have much time to have the luxury of being safe. The next day, he was caught by police who suddenly appeared when he was at the airport.
At the same time, the forces in the Imperial Capital were being shuffled once again.
There were many countries that had been affected, and this included France. There were a lot of diplomatic guests in the Imperial Capital during this period, and when this incident broke out, whether you were an ordinary person or someone in high position, everyone was flustered.
Amongst them, the most disturbed was the Yan family.
âSon, hurry and go, go and beg Miss Tan for forgiveness!â Madam Yan was already seated on the sofa, unable to stand and going out of her mind. The Wen family had gone down the drain in just three days, and they were practically rubbish at this stage. Madam Yan couldnât help but feel dumbfounded when she thought about it.
âYour mother is right.â Papa Yan stood up, giving Yan Han an anxious look.
Everyone knew by now that Miss Gu had taken in a disciple, and that person was Tan Yongsi.
In an instant, Tan Yongsi became the object of envy and resentment of all the people around the world.
After all those videos had appeared and been broadcasted, no one could deny the terror and power of Gu Xiqiao. There was no doubt that she was the most powerful person on earth!
Such a person like her had actually taken Tan Yongsi as her disciple?
Even though the Yan family didnât understand why Tan Yongsi had caught the eyes of all these big shots, they knew that times had changed, and Tan Yongsi was no longer the same as before. What stood out more than the shock they felt was fear, they naturally remembered all the things that they had once done to Tan Yongsi!
Especially that they once had the intention of getting rid of her!
Now, as long as they recalled those matters, the Yan family members all had trouble eating and sleeping, especially after they watched the Wen familyâs demise.
The all-powerful Wen family, and their connections to Franceâs power world!
But even so, their demise was swift and deadly!
The Yan family didnât even know the reason for their demise, they just knew that it was all over!
In the end, they could only place their hopes on Yan Han.
Papa Yan was sitting on the sofa, looking like he had aged several decades in a short span of time. He watched the video on the marriage announcement between Tan Yongsi and that Mr. Jiang Yirui, and muttered under his breath, â If I knew early on that Tan Yongsi was that personâs disciple, I wouldnât have forced my son to break up with her!â
Unfortunately for them, there was no more âwhat ifsâ.
***
In the big apartment beside A University, Gu Xiqiao was sitting by the window, in front of her drawing board, listening and chuckling softly at Jijiâs chatter. âNow he wants to marry Sisi? Seriously, what happened to his previous persistence? Has it been eaten by Dog Feed? That Yan Han⊠If he had stuck to his decision, I may still view him with a better impression. What a pity.â
She placed down her paintbrush, and there was only an outline on the picture on the drawing board.
Jiji took a quick look, guessing instantly who she was drawing. It couldnât help the curl of its lips as it said, âBeauty Qiao, youâre too biased, painting them again.â
Gu Xiqiao smiled. âXixi and Haha have not seen each other for so many years, letâs give this to them as a gift⊠Huh, whereâs Brother Jiang?â
âHave you forgotten? You rushed Master Jiang to go and pick Haha up!â Jijiâs eyes widened. âHuh, wait a second, Director Cheng is here, Iâll go and open the door first!â
