Gu Qiaoqiao didnât 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 Familyâs issues at this time."
"I donât 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 donât 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 Leaderâs Wife of the Phoenix Clan, itâs said you all possess Divine Clan lineage, a Divine Clanâs actions should be magnanimous and not like mortals. Using your mana to hurt an innocent young boy, how can you be so cruel?"
"Donât tell me you were abused at the Qi Family and suffered hardships. Such a story, Chu Chengfeng might believe, but I, Gu Qiaoqiao, donât believe one-sided words."
"Some matters arenât 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 Familyâs foster daughter is bedridden now, and the Qi Family is in a melancholic state. Of course, youâll 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 Lingâs 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 canât just stand by and do nothing, as it would violate the Heavenly Dao Rules, which Iâm 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 Qiaoqiaoâs.
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 impatientâan unacceptable behavior for her.
Upon realizing this, Liu Ling smiled, seemingly sincerely, and said, "Miss Gu, Iâm sorry, it was my mistake. I really shouldnât 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 Iâll take my leave. By the way, Miss Gu, you surely told Sima Xiaowen, didnât 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 Familyâs Courtyard.
This kind of Liu Ling sparked a feeling of disgust within Gu Qiaoqiao. She knew one shouldnât judge by appearances, but she really didnât wish for Chu Chengfengâs 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 Familyâs 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 Familyâs Courtyard. How could this be allowed? With the two of them here, whoever dared harm the people of the Qin Familyâs 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 wasnât afraid of the wolf and cat, but she didnât 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, Iâll have to go back and tell Qiaoqiao to definitely be cautious of her."
"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 wonât recognize her."
"She has no mother," Xiao Bai said indifferently.
"Oh, then Iâll bite her till the man surnamed Chu canât 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, weâll do just that, whoever dares to make trouble here wonât leave whole."
Then Xiao Bai and White Wolf ran toward the Qin Familyâs 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 wasnât afraid, but if this matter were to harm other people in the Qin Familyâs 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, itâs nine times out of ten.
Gu Qiaoqiao truly began to take this matter seriously.
But Gu Qiaoqiao didnât regret her actions. She doesnât cause trouble, but she also isnât afraid of trouble!
