Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t answer directly, but looked at Liu Ling with a scrutinizing gaze and suddenly smiled, "Miss Liu, if I were you, I should be thinking about how to resolve the Qi Family’s issues at this time."
"I don’t know what happened at the Qi Family, but disappearing without a word always loses the grace of your Divine Clan lineage. They are all mortals, like ants in your eyes, why make it so ugly?"
"And what I don’t understand is, why come to interrogate me? Are you trying to warn me not to tell others about this?"
"Whether I tell others or not, just the fact that you are the future Clan Leader’s Wife of the Phoenix Clan, it’s said you all possess Divine Clan lineage, a Divine Clan’s actions should be magnanimous and not like mortals. Using your mana to hurt an innocent young boy, how can you be so cruel?"
"Don’t tell me you were abused at the Qi Family and suffered hardships. Such a story, Chu Chengfeng might believe, but I, Gu Qiaoqiao, don’t believe one-sided words."
"Some matters aren’t decided by whoever says it. This is very simple, find someone to investigate and the truth will be revealed."
"After all, as far as I know, the eldest daughter and son-in-law of the Qi Family quit their jobs to find their sister, and they also reported it to the authorities. The adoptive mother of the Qi Family’s foster daughter is bedridden now, and the Qi Family is in a melancholic state. Of course, you’ll surely say these are all false."
At this point, Gu Qiaoqiao paused, then continued, "But, like I said above, as long as the Qi Family lives on this earth, these matters will be easily revealed upon investigation."
Liu Ling’s expression finally changed, her usual gentle smile could no longer be maintained. She never expected, upon finding Gu Qiaoqiao, to be rendered speechless before even speaking.
"Gu Qiaoqiao, must you be so ruthless in your actions?"
"I should ask you that. If the Qi Family really treated you poorly, you could seek justice by other means, not resorting to using your Mystic Sect abilities against a child. As a member of the Mystic Sect, I can’t just stand by and do nothing, as it would violate the Heavenly Dao Rules, which I’m sure Miss Liu is aware of."
Liu Ling never imagined Gu Qiaoqiao would speak so bluntly and without reservation, unlike someone like Sima Xiaowen, whose words were not as straightforward as Gu Qiaoqiao’s.
However, regarding Gu Qiaoqiao, she indeed understood from before, especially on that day when Chu Chengfeng was rendered speechless by Gu Qiaoqiao, leaving him feeling guilty towards the two members of the Sima Family.
It seems it was indeed a misstep seeking out Gu Qiaoqiao today. She furrowed her eyebrows, puzzled at why she had become so impatient—an unacceptable behavior for her.
Upon realizing this, Liu Ling smiled, seemingly sincerely, and said, "Miss Gu, I’m sorry, it was my mistake. I really shouldn’t have come to you today; I should properly handle this matter."
Being able to bend and stretch, indeed makes a person of character.
Gu Qiaoqiao merely smiled silently, leaving it uncertain whether she accepted the apology.
"...Then I’ll take my leave. By the way, Miss Gu, you surely told Sima Xiaowen, didn’t you?"
"Do you wish for me to tell it to Chu Chengfeng?"
Gu Qiaoqiao retorted with a seemingly amused expression.
Liu Ling stopped talking, giving Gu Qiaoqiao a deep look before leaving the Qin Family’s Courtyard.
This kind of Liu Ling sparked a feeling of disgust within Gu Qiaoqiao. She knew one shouldn’t judge by appearances, but she really didn’t wish for Chu Chengfeng’s future wife to be a venomous woman.
If it truly were so, then the Phoenix Clan would be close to annihilation.
But as Qin Yize mentioned, these matters indeed have little to do with her, Gu Qiaoqiao. The Phoenix Clan has a Clan Leader, has elders, and many other members, including Phoenix Clan People arriving soon, nothing for Gu Qiaoqiao to interfere with.
The most she can do is merely warn Liu Ling.
Who made her come over seeking to be chastised!
Liu Ling left the Qin Family’s Courtyard, glanced back at the crossroad, her gaze inscrutable, unknown what she was pondering.
And just at that moment, two white figures suddenly appeared at the gate, one big and one small, all looking in her direction.
One was a small cat with purple eyes, the other was a wolf with pure white fur.
Indeed, it was a wolf!
Its eyes emitting a green glow, staring firmly at her, while the small cat appeared even stranger, as if it already knew what she intended to do.
In the instant she hesitated, the two figures, one big and one small, rushed toward her like arrows leaving the bow.
Liu Ling was waiting for a taxi there, her brows slightly furrowed, yet still calmly watched the wolf and cat running towards her.
A few meters apart, Xiao Bai and White Wolf fixed their warning gaze on Liu Ling.
Just at the gate, they sensed this Liu Ling seemed to harbor ill intent towards people in the Qin Family’s Courtyard. How could this be allowed? With the two of them here, whoever dared harm the people of the Qin Family’s Courtyard, they would bite them to unrecognizable shreds.
White Wolf exposed sharp teeth, growling at Liu Ling, when at that moment, a taxi stopped in front of Liu Ling. The taxi driver curiously looked at the white wolf and cat on the opposite side of the avenue.
Thinking, whose pets are these cat and dog? So beautiful, clean and spotless.
Liu Ling wasn’t afraid of the wolf and cat, but she didn’t want to waste time with them, showing a mocking smile, opened the car door and sat in, gave the driver an address, and the taxi driver started the car and sped away.
Xiao Bai said to White Wolf, "This woman is no good, I’ll have to go back and tell Qiaoqiao to definitely be cautious of her." freeωebnovēl.c૦m
"Rest assured, Lord Bai, with me, White Wolf here, if she dares to do bad things, I will bite her till even her own mother won’t recognize her."
"She has no mother," Xiao Bai said indifferently.
"Oh, then I’ll bite her till the man surnamed Chu can’t recognize her,"
White Wolf said viciously.
Xiao Bai extended his paw, and White Wolf promptly lay down, Xiao Bai patted its wolf head in praise, "Good, we’ll do just that, whoever dares to make trouble here won’t leave whole."
Then Xiao Bai and White Wolf ran toward the Qin Family’s Courtyard like two trails of white smoke.
Xiao Bai told Gu Qiaoqiao about the silent confrontation with Liu Ling earlier.
And also expressed his intuition.
Gu Qiaoqiao furrowed her brows slightly, though she herself wasn’t afraid, but if this matter were to harm other people in the Qin Family’s Courtyard, that would be absolutely unacceptable.
A person might not intend to harm tigers, but tigers can harm people.
Though nothing in the world is absolute, it’s nine times out of ten.
Gu Qiaoqiao truly began to take this matter seriously.
But Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t regret her actions. She doesn’t cause trouble, but she also isn’t afraid of trouble!
