Capítulo 1628: Chapter 1581: Qingluan Is the Fourth Princess

Seeing Song Xiaodong not planning to reveal anything, Qiao Yutong felt even more upset. She glared fiercely at Song Xiaodong, pulled her hand away, and stopped talking.

Song Xiaodong understood why Qiao Yutong was angry and said, “Yu Tong, it’s not that I don’t want to tell you. It’s just that this matter involves too many things. I’ll tell you everything when the time is right.”

Hearing Song Xiaodong’s explanation, Qiao Yutong felt much better. As a woman, she wasn’t necessarily looking for an answer; she cared more about Song Xiaodong’s attitude. Song Xiaodong’s attitude satisfied her, so she didn’t care about the rest.

The car quickly arrived at the city bureau’s criminal investigation team.

Three hours later, Song Xiaodong finally got the portrait of Qingluan.

Qiao Yutong held the portrait in her hands and said, “She really is very beautiful, barefoot and wearing such a dress, just like Wanwan written about in the novels. It’s best she isn’t really like Wanwan, a demoness, or you wouldn’t know how you died.”

Song Xiaodong said, “She does have a bit of a resemblance. I’m really grateful to you this time. Where are you heading now? I can give you a ride.”

Qiao Yutong glared and said, “What? I helped you, and you won’t even treat me to a meal?”

Song Xiaodong said, “I’ll owe you first. I’ll treat you later. I really must handle this matter today; otherwise, I truly don’t have the mood.”

Qiao Yutong turned her head and said, “Hmph, for another woman, you treat me like this.”

Seeing Qiao Yutong’s jealous look, Song Xiaodong suddenly smiled and said, “How about this? There’s still an hour before you finish work. I’ll take you back to the branch office first, then after I finish the matter, I’ll come back and take you out for dinner.”

“Hmph, forcing it like this, I’m not interested. Hurry and take me back so you can go cozy up to your girl.”

Song Xiaodong smiled and said, “Such a sour taste, my Yu Tong is starting to get jealous of me.”

“Who?… Who’s jealous of you? Don’t get cocky. You’re just flattering yourself. Would I get jealous of a lecherous guy like you? Am I sick? Hurry and take me back. Right now, I just want to stay as far away from you as possible.”

Qiao Yutong’s proud demeanor made Song Xiaodong feel even more amused, but he didn’t say much more. After sending her back to the branch office, he immediately rushed to meet with the people from Dragon Gate.

When Song Xiaodong laid Qingluan’s portrait in front of the elders, he was incredibly nervous inside.

“That’s her!” Zhao Chengguo instantly called out first.

Su Lie also nodded and said, “This girl perfectly combines all the virtues of Vice Sect Leader Zhao and his wife, it can’t be wrong.”

Lin Feng unhesitatingly nodded and said, “Indeed, there shouldn’t be a mistake.”

Song Xiaodong looked around, and nearly everyone was nodding. That was enough to prove the point.

It’s one thing for someone to resemble Vice Sect Leader Zhao and his wife, but to be also in Dark Night Sect—there should be no mistake about this matter.

Song Xiaodong exhaled deeply and said, “That’s good, the fourth princess has also been found.”

Su Lie excitedly said, “Excellent, excellent, with all four princesses found, we can break the restriction array, re-enter Dragon Gate, and restore the majesty of Dragon Gate.”

Cao Jianlong, however, said at this time, “Let’s not celebrate too early. Since Qingluan is already esteemed as Dark Night Sect’s princess, this shows she is highly regarded by them, and having been nurtured in Dark Night Sect since childhood, she surely sees herself as part of them. How can we make her understand she is part of Dragon Gate?”

Everyone was momentarily stunned and then frowned in thought. This indeed was a very important matter. Zhao Chengguo said, “I had left the Dragon Badge with her back then. Elder Cao, you didn’t take the Dragon Badge from her, did you?”

Cao Jianlong took out a Dragon Badge and said, “I sent her to Dark Night Sect; how dare I leave the Dragon Badge by her side?”

The crowd was speechless, but they couldn’t blame Cao Jianlong. At that time, Dragon Gate’s situation was critical, and this action was entirely a correct decision.

Song Xiaodong coughed lightly at this moment and said, “Leave this matter to me. I believe I can persuade her.”

Cao Jianlong said, “Young Master, this must not be taken lightly. Although she is Vice Sect Leader Zhao’s daughter, you must know, the place one grows up in has significant influence. Growing up there, she already has feelings for that place. Without solid evidence, she would never believe us. If Young Master falls into danger, it would be a loss that outweighs the gains. This matter still requires careful planning.”

Song Xiaodong coughed again, looking a bit embarrassed as he said, “Although she is the princess of Dark Night Sect, due to some special reasons, between us… there’s still some special emotional ties…”

Everyone was stunned for a moment, their expressions turning a bit odd, followed by Su Lie’s laughter: “Young Sect Master really has a way with things, even managing to woo Dark Night Sect’s princess.”

Song Xiaodong became even more embarrassed and said, “There’s a long story behind this. Although we’ve always been adversaries, because we were once trapped together, we had to join forces to survive and escape. That’s why emotions developed.”

Su Lie waved his hand and said, “No matter the reason, this matter can be resolved, and that’s a good thing.”
