“That’s the truth.”
Little Black stated simply, his cool face devoid of expression. He reminded her, “Miss, now that it’s been explained clearly, we need to take her away.”
“Mm.”
She waved her hand, not wanting to interfere any further.
“I’m not leaving… Gu Yu… tell me, did you ever love me?”
Gu Yu pressed his lips together and said, “Whether the past Gu Yu liked you or not… actually, you know the answer deep down in your heart, don’t you?”
Qing Rou stared at him for a long moment, then suddenly smiled!
Her emotions gradually returning to normal, Qing Rou looked at Gu Yu, her eyes filled with deep affection.
Finally, she performed a standard, proper young lady’s bow, then followed Little White and Little Black as they gradually walked away.
The mist dissipated——
The surrounding ghostly aura was gone.
Li Qiao instructed, “Let’s head back. Where’s Lin Chuan?”
Both Li Xinyue and Gu Yu didn’t look very well. Li Xinyue said disappointedly, “He led us to encounter Qing Rou, then went down the mountain himself a long time ago.”
Since it involved their personal matters, Li Qiao didn’t press further.
Everyone has their own destiny.
Along the way, Xiao Qingbei kept asking Li Qiao various questions. His eager, thirsting for knowledge demeanor truly resembled a diligent student.
“Qiaoqiao, Little Black and Little White… they couldn’t possibly be Hei Bai Wu Chang (Black and White Impermanence), could they?”
“Yes, they are!”
Xiao Qingbei’s legs stiffened, making his walking posture awkward.
“B-b-black and White Impermanence?”
Saying this, Xiao Qingbei’s whole body trembled.
He stared at Li Qiao’s back.
His gaze was extremely complex.
The Hei Bai Wu Chang of the underworld were respectful and deferential in front of Qiaoqiao, calling her ‘Miss’?
Just what kind of formidable, important figure is my little sister?
Besides his excitement, there was also some worry.
After the group returned, they found the tents haphazardly knocked over on the ground, with no sign of the five of them.
“Let me give Jian Dan a call.”
Xiao Qingbei’s calls went unanswered. Li Qiao surveyed the area and said, “No need to call. They’ve run into a Gui Da Qiang (ghost building a wall – being led around in circles by spirits).”
That’s why they couldn’t get out; it’s like they were in another barrier.
“What should we do now?”
“You all wait here. Don’t go anywhere.”
After giving these instructions, Li Qiao walked towards a large locust tree, circled left three times and right three times, and with a soft incantation, successfully entered the barrier!
When she suddenly appeared, Jian Dan exclaimed joyfully, “Sister Qiao…”
The others quickly ran over.
They were all very excited to see Li Qiao.
After some questioning, they angrily explained that after Tian Mi woke up, the five of them had gone looking for the others together. But somehow, they didn’t know what happened, they just kept circling around here, unable to find the right way out.
Li Qiao explained things simply, and the five of them looked at each other in bewilderment.
Barrier?
Gui Da Qiang?
Jian Dan: “Sister Qiao, what should we do?”
“Very simple, Tong Zi Niao (virgin boy’s urine) + cursing.” Li Qiao’s eyes were smiling. The four young men looked at each other awkwardly.
“Hey, what are you guys standing around for? Hurry up, don’t tell me none of the four of you is a virgin.” Tian Mi urged from the side.
Jian Dan scratched his head: “Sister Qiao, isn’t there any other way? You got out easily, so getting us out shouldn’t be a problem, right?”
“Me getting out is no problem, but you guys can’t get out.” Their reaction was too strange.
What if none of them really were virgins——
At worst, she could waste a few more talismans. Before Li Qiao could speak, a bespectacled, scholarly-looking man said, “I’ll do it.”
The other three men: …
“No way, President, you’re a virgin? You’re actually a virgin?”
“That’s not what you said back when you chose Truth or Dare.”
“Well, looks like the President was just bragging.”
“Shut up.” The bespectacled man’s face was bright red. As the four were arguing, Tian Mi suddenly shouted, “We’re out!”
The four snapped back to reality and saw the incredibly complex expressions on everyone’s faces. Xiao Qingbei couldn’t help but sigh inappropriately, “President, you really are a virgin, huh?”
“…” The bespectacled man cast a resentful look at Li Qiao.
