Isn’t there just no other way?
Finally, the group made their way down the mountain and left.
After returning to Royal Water Bay, Li Qiao had just gotten out of the car when she ran into Fu Yi lying severely injured in the courtyard.
“He Yi, He Yi…”
He Yi slowly woke up. When he saw it was Li Qiao, a fierce gleam flashed in his eyes: “Why… why did you kill Ninth Master?”
“He Yi, what nonsense are you talking about?”
Li Qiao was puzzled.
She felt something was off!
“Hey… Qiaoqiao and I just came back from the mountains. We haven’t seen your Ninth Master. Don’t go framing my Qiaoqiao for something she didn’t do.” Xiao Qingbei’s face was full of displeasure.
He had long heard that He Jingnian and his Qiaoqiao were involved in some unclear relationship; it must be that little vixen seducing Qiaoqiao.
Xiao Qingbei stood quietly to the side.
“Impossible, it was you, I saw it with my own eyes… unless…”
Having calmed down, He Yi exchanged a glance with Li Qiao.
Li Qiao frowned: “Tell me carefully, what exactly happened?”
“At night, I saw Miss Li personally injure Ninth Master. When I tried to stop it, you waved your hand, and I lost consciousness.”
He Yi told Li Qiao everything.
The most important point was that person looked exactly like Li Qiao.
After calming down, He Yi thought carefully that Miss Li couldn’t have hurt Ninth Master.
So there was only one possibility—
“It couldn’t be a skin-changing ghost again, could it?”
Li Qiao looked at He Yi’s bitter expression and scanned their surroundings—there wasn’t a trace of ghostly energy.
“It’s not a skin-changing ghost.”
“That’s good…” He Yi’s anxious heart relaxed slightly, but then he heard Li Qiao continue: “It should be something higher than a skin-changing ghost. I didn’t sense a single wisp of ghostly energy in the entire courtyard. The one that came this time isn’t an ordinary ghost.”
He Yi’s expression instantly crumbled!
“Qiaoqiao… you didn’t sense any ghostly energy, so how can you be sure it’s not an ordinary ghost?”
Xiao Qingbei finally understood what was going on.
Li Qiao smiled unhurriedly: “Fifth Brother, you might not know, but He Jingnian is like a hot commodity in the eyes of supernatural beings.”
“Miss Li, please save my Ninth Master…”
“He’s not in any life-threatening danger for now. We’ll have to wait until tomorrow.”
“Huh? Why not? Taking advantage of the darkness would make it easier, ghosts usually come out at night.” He Yi was confused.
He was anxious to go look for him.
Li Qiao stopped him: “This ghost can walk in daylight.”
He Yi and Xiao Qingbei exchanged bewildered looks.
They couldn’t help but think this seemed a bit unreliable?
A ghost walking in daylight? Wouldn’t it get scorched?
“Trust me, I know what I’m doing. He Yi, get some good rest.”
Before leaving, Li Qiao patted his head, and a wave of negative energy vanished without a trace.
Whether it was his imagination or not, He Yi felt his mind clear up quite a bit.
Xiao Qingbei followed behind Li Qiao, pressing her for more information about He Jingnian!
“Qingbei’s here, I’ll have someone prepare a guest room for you right away.” Liu Yusi smiled.
“Sorry for the trouble, Auntie.”
Tonight, Xiao Qingbei didn’t want to leave.
He clung to Li Qiao, constantly asking about He Jingnian. Seeing how enthusiastic he was, Li Qiao decided to stop holding back.
“It’s probably a Qing ghost.”
“A Qing ghost? He Jingnian got taken by a Qing ghost? Haha… he’s really unlucky.” Li Shaoyang, who had just returned, laughed out loud.
However—
Li Shaoyang knew his sister’s feelings for He Jingnian, so he slightly suppressed his smile and said, “Sis, He Jingnian isn’t in danger, is he?”
“No. The Qing ghost can only capture him but can’t harm him. That powerful merit He Jingnian possesses is indeed tempting, but the Qing ghost can only look, not touch.”
