Chapter 172
…
"It's you." As soon as Huo Qi took Mu Jiao out, he looked directly at someone through the crowd.
Someone's eyes met Huo Qi's directly, coldness and teasing colliding together.
"Huo Qi Rex, I'm surprised you're still alive. It seems like the little cutie next to you saved you. Let me guess, what special method did you use? I'm really curious."
Jing Li covered most of his face with half a mask and leaned lazily on the mecha.
After looking Huo Qi Rex up and down, he ignored his death stare and turned his eyes with interest to Mu Jiao next to Huo Qi.
According to common sense, Huo Qi Rex was already a patient in the late stage of genetic collapse syndrome, and he had forcibly used almost all of his innate powers to leave Han'e Star. He should have died long ago, but now, the person in front of him was unharmed and alive and well. However, this further confirmed the extraordinary nature of this little fool Mu Jiao.
"Brother Qi, does he already know about me? Brother Qi, we can't let him tell anyone."
Mu Jiao felt a little nervous and worried at Jing Li's meaningful look, and unconsciously took two steps towards Huo Qi.
Somehow, when this person looked at her, she felt as if she was being stared at by a poisonous snake, and her whole body was chilled.
"Jiaojiao, it's okay. He won't." Huo Qi noticed Mu Jiao's nervousness and pulled her closer to him.
Although he didn't know the identity of this person yet, Huo Qi was sure that even if he knew, he wouldn't say anything. From the first time they met, Huo Qi knew that they were, to some extent, the same kind of people, maximizing their own interests and willing to do whatever it takes to achieve their goals.
Huo Qi first lowered his head and whispered a word of comfort to Mu Jiao, then looked at Jing Li with a cold tone and warned:
"Heh, you're such a coward, you don't even dare to reveal your true identity. You'd better stop meddling in other people's affairs and learn how to be a good person."
Huo Qi's words were quite venomous, causing the nervous Mu Jiao to turn her attention to him.
Looking sideways at Huo Qi, Mu Jiao thought to herself: Look how shameless that guy is, he can actually force the usually gentle and polite Brother Qi to start swearing at me.
"Business? Aren't I busy with business right now? But thank you for your guidance, Second Prince. I will keep it in mind."
Jing Li not only did not get angry because of Huo Qi's insults, but instead changed his previous nonchalant attitude, stood up straight, and politely thanked Huo Qi. That look, as if Huo Qi had really taught him something.
Looking at Jing Li's actions opposite her, Mu Jiao felt a little numb on her scalp, and then she couldn't help but admire him.
Her cultivation is still too shallow. Look at him, he is so calm and composed even when being scolded, and he can even politely thank the person who insulted him. Uh - she probably needs to practice for another fifty years before she can barely do that... right?
"Since you don't even dare to show your face, why bother pretending to be so disgusting?"
"I thought Your Highness, as a royal aristocrat of noble descent, would like this. I didn't expect Your Highness to be so special. That's perfect. I don't like these hypocritical words either." Jing Li's lips curled up into a smile, and then he said:
"In that case, let's be frank. Second Prince, as long as you leave the woman you are holding, you can leave safely today. Otherwise..."
