Chapter 1803: Chapter 1801: Escape
The dark night seemed especially eerie, coupled with the floating flame hovering in mid-air.
If anyone were to pass by at this moment, if they donât get scared unconscious, it would be worth praising their courage.
Fortunately, on this cold midnight, there really wasnât anyone walking around outside, after all, itâs winter.
So it was extremely quiet here.
With Xiao Bai and the White Wolf blocking this space, the flame that tried to drift into the courtyard was stopped, no one knew what it wanted to do, but it certainly wasnât anything good.
So at this point, the flame naturally couldnât get in.
It hovered in mid-air, seemingly hesitating, as if waiting for someoneâs command.
Then at that moment, the flame seemed to receive an order, and suddenly transformed into a red light, disappearing in front of Xiao Bai and the White Wolf.
Xiao Bai leaped down from the wall with a swift motion.
The White Wolf followed.
The two white shadows, as fast as light, chased the red light forward.
But unfortunately, when they rounded a corner, the red light disappeared.
Xiao Bai and the White Wolf spun around several times on the spot, and after checking the surroundings and finding nothing unusual, they returned to the Qin Familyâs Courtyard, once again scaling the wall to enter.
When they returned to the bedroom, Qin Yize was still asleep, but Gu Qiaoqiao opened her eyes.
Feeling the chill from Xiao Bai and the White Wolf, she asked Xiao Bai in her mind, "What were you two up to?"
"There was a red flame outside our courtyard, it seemed to want to come in, but after seeing us come out, it ran away, and we couldnât find who it belonged to."
"A red flame, are you sure you didnât see it wrong?" Gu Qiaoqiao asked in surprise.
"How could we see it wrong?"
"Was there a shape to it? Like a phoenix perhaps?"
"No shape, just a big fireball."
Gu Qiaoqiao fell into deep thought, and after a while, she said to Xiao Bai in her mind, "I suspect itâs that woman, Liu Ling."
Xiao Bai let out a little cry, "Thatâs right, at the end of last year, I already felt something was off about that woman, turns out it was her."
"You two have worked hard, go rest, donât worry, she wonât dare do anything for now."
The Qin Familyâs Courtyard, though not impenetrable, is almost as good as.
The barrier here was personally set up by Gu Junbai.
Even if Xiao Bai and the White Wolf hadnât gone out, the flame wouldnât have been able to come in.
But itâs still necessary to be on guard, after all, the human heart is unpredictable.
Especially with people like Liu Ling, whose sense of right and wrong is blurred.
People are ultimately different from one another.
For certain people, the concept of empathy doesnât exist.
Because that type of person always believes they are right.
"Gu Qiaoqiao, arenât you going to confront that woman? What is she snooping around someone elseâs courtyard for no reason? People like that are either up to no good or thieves. If you donât warn her, she might think you donât know anything."
Gu Qiaoqiao sighed, "Itâs not like it used to be, sometimes we canât just settle enmities easily, we have to consider everything from all angles. Besides, we donât have any evidence, going over rashly, Liu Ling isnât an ordinary person. Sheâs sure to retaliate, and we might end up being framed by her, which would be a real loss."
"People of the Mystic Sect nowadays have become more disorganized and long-winded in handling matters."
Xiao Bai said disdainfully.
"In fact, it was the same before, you just didnât notice. Even though they are from the Mystic Sect, arenât they also stemming from ordinary people? Human nature doesnât just disappear."
"Alright, I got it."
After saying this, Xiao Bai stopped communicating with Gu Qiaoqiao in her mind and instead laid on the soft carpet, comfortably rolling around a few times.
Gu Qiaoqiao wasnât worried; she felt reassured, as the barrier of the Qin Familyâs Courtyard was set up by the master herself.
In Xiao Baiâs eyes, the most powerful ones in the Mystic Sect now are Gu Junbai and Yun Luo.
Followed by Gu Qiaoqiao and Chu Chengfeng.
Oh, and Dongfang Yu.
Because of Shang Qing, Dongfang Yu had a great opportunity and was cured by Gu Qiaoqiao of his cold affliction, his cultivation now at a similar level to Gu Qiaoqiaoâs.
But thereâs no need to worry about him, as he has sworn on his life.
As for Liu Ling, Xiao Bai didnât really care much.
Her skills are not even a match for the White Wolfâs paw.
But what Gu Qiaoqiao said is also correct, one should be extra cautious about people like Liu Ling.
Xiao Bai sighed, feeling as if ever since Gu Qiaoqiao gave birth to Xiao Bao and Xiao Bei, its own responsibilities seemed to have increased.
Oh dear, what exactly is it worrying about?
With a dismissive smirk, Xiao Bai stopped thinking about all these matters, quickly drifting off to sleep.
Meanwhile, behind a house more than 1000 meters away from the Qin Familyâs Courtyard, Liu Ling finally managed to retract her Spiritual Fire.
To avoid being recognized, she even changed her Phoenix-shaped flame into a fireball.
Even so, todayâs attempt still wasnât successful, she couldnât even get into the Qin Family Courtyard.
If she wasnât mistaken, the Qin Family Courtyard had been set up with quite a formidable barrier, even she couldnât get in.
It was strange though, why hadnât she sensed it when she visited the Qin Family Courtyard last year?
Could it have been set up recently?
Liu Lingâs face was filled with resentment as she wiped the sweat from her forehead and sped towards her apartment in her car.
After all, being someone from the Mystic Sect, learning to drive was a breeze, and with Chu Chengfeng, she easily got a driverâs license.
This car was brought for her by Chu Chengfeng this morning.
While he didnât apologize directly, it indirectly expressed his remorse.
Given this, Liu Ling thought it wise not to hold onto the issue from yesterday.
Yet, Liu Ling couldnât let it go; she believed all these troubles were stirred up by Sima Xiaowen and Gu Qiaoqiao.
She hadnât intended to harm them today, it was merely a reconnaissance.
She truly didnât expect the Qin Family Courtyard to be so heavily guarded.
But even the tightest of nets has loopholes; sheâll find an opportunity.
After the fifteenth, many matters should be resolved.
Under the night sky, although there were cars on the streets, it was past midnight, so Liu Ling drove faster, running a succession of red lights. She nearly collided with other vehicles at one point.
But being cultivated, she handled it with ease.
Yet even so, two cars crashed into a roadside pole.
Liu Ling gave a cold smile, feeling the anger in her heart had subsided somewhat.
She then slowed down and continued driving forward.
On the morning of the third day, after breakfast, Sima Xiaowen brought Gu Qianqian to play at the Qin Familyâs Courtyard.
Yun Luo also came along with them.
