Chapter 387 Zhao Dongyue is in trouble
After sending Banjie to Xiyue Continent, Xu Qiuqian returned to Xuanyun Continent.
He took out a bell-shaped magic weapon and shook it four times to try to contact Yun Yi, but there was no response. He shook it three times to try to contact Zhu Yichen, but there was still no response. He shook it six times to try to contact Gu Jiao, but there was still no response.
She went to the grocery store next door to find Chen Wei.
"Chen Wei, have you seen the other employees in my store?"
That's strange.
Normally there would always be someone staying in the store to look after it. Even though she had let Chen Weilai take charge of store affairs now, they had a lot more free time, but they would not leave casually.
Even if you are practicing, you will keep one.
This is also their tacit understanding.
But now there is not a single one left.
"I didn't see the other two. I only saw the Valley Fairy."
"Jiaojiao? When?"
"Three days ago."
Three days ago, didn't Banjie also mean three days ago? "Do you know where she went?"
Chen Wei thought for a moment and said, "I think he went to find Fairy Zhao."
"Fairy Zhao?"
"Your sister."
Zhao Dongyue? Xu Qiuqian thought of what happened to Gu Jiao before, and had a bad feeling in her heart.
"What does she want to do with Zhao Dongyue? When did Zhao Dongyue come to Pingfeng City?"
Gu Jiao knew Zhao Dongyue. Having been with her for so long, she naturally knew something about her affairs. However, Gu Jiao was not interested in Zhao Dongyue at all, let alone meeting her.
There is only one possibility.
"I don't know either."
Yu Xian had just finished his work and heard this when he walked over.
He said aloud, "Fairy Gu seemed to be in a bad mood that day."
Xu Qiuqian looked at him.
"Why is that wrong?"
After Yu Xian described it, Xu Qiuqian's heart sank.
In all likelihood, Gu Jiao knew something, but according to them, Gu Jiao should have known the so-called truth first before going to find Zhao Dongyue. She had not met Zhao Dongyue before and should not have seen the magic weapon.
Who told Gu Jiao the distorted truth?
Xu Qiuqian didn't have time to think about these things. After asking where Zhao Dongyue lived, he hurried over.
On the way, she tried to contact Gu Jiao with the ringtone, but Gu Jiao still didn't answer.
"Excuse me, did you see two people? They..."
When the shopkeeper heard this, he shook his head and said he didn't know.
A waiter nearby heard it and said, "Yes, one of the fairies is a guest of my shop and asked for a room. I saw the other one come in three days ago, and then they both left."
This waiter was the clerk who had given Gu Jiao directions before.
"Out? Where to?"
"I don't know about that."
Xu Qiuqian frowned.
If Gu Jiao really knew the so-called truth and took Zhao Dongyue away, according to the original plot, Gu Jiao planned to kill Zhao Dongyue the first thing she did after knowing it.
Now Gu Jiao’s cultivation is higher than Zhao Dongyue’s, so it would be easy for her to kill Zhao Dongyue.
And now three days have passed...
Yinling Gujiao didn't answer the phone, either because she didn't bring it with her, or it was broken, or she didn't want to answer it.
According to the current situation, the last one is the most likely.
Xu Qiuqian tried to contact Gu Jiao again using the ringtone.
She tried several times in succession, and on the fifth time, the bell finally responded!
Gu Jiao answered it!
Xu Qiuqian quickly asked her: "Jiaojiao, where are you now?"
Gu Jiao was silent for a moment, and said in a low voice: "I am in a cave fifty miles away from Pingfeng City..."
"Just wait for me there. You don't have to do anything. Just wait for me there, okay?"
Gu Jiao remained silent, as if she was thinking about whether to agree to Xu Qiuqian's words.
After a long while, she spoke again.
"good."
Xu Qiuqian breathed a sigh of relief and immediately rushed to the place Gu Jiao mentioned outside Pingfeng City.
Fifty miles was not too far, and she arrived there in no time.
There were restrictions set up outside the cave. Xu Qiuqian took a look and found that it was Gu Jiao who placed the formation plate. This formation plate should have been taken by Gu Jiao from the shelf. After all, Gu Jiao could take anything on the shelf at will.
"Jiaojiao!"
She called out and Gu Jiao came out of the cave.
Xu Qiuqian saw that Gu Jiao looked very calm, and seemed no different from usual, if one ignored her red eyes and the depression between her brows.
Gu Jiao removed the restriction, and Xu Qiuqian entered the cave. He saw Zhao Dongyue tied to the ground, dying.
Zhao Dongyue was injured, probably from the initial resistance. Apart from that, she seemed to be injured in other places as well.
She glanced at Gu Jiao, who lowered her eyes and said nothing.
So she walked forward and fed the dying Zhao Dongyue the pill first. Zhao Dongyue slowly opened his eyes and saw Xu Qiuqian.
"elder sister……"
Xu Qiuqian sighed.
Then he turned and looked at Gu Jiao.
"Jiaojiao, please let her go first."
Hearing this, Gu Jiao looked up at Xu Qiuqian, and after a moment, nodded slightly.
Xu Qiuqian untied the ropes that bound Zhao Dongyue and helped her lean against the wall.
Then he walked towards Gu Jiao.
"Let's go out and talk. I have something to tell you."
Gu Jiao responded, and the two of them left the cave.
Seeing Gu Jiao lowering her eyes, Xu Qiuqian sighed again. It was really...
"Do you think that your parents were killed by Zhao Dongyue's parents?"
Gu Jiao was stunned. Obviously, she didn't expect Xu Qiuqian to know. She didn't know how Xu Qiuqian knew it, or whether Xu Qiuqian knew it from the beginning but kept it from her.
Thinking of this, her heart sank.
Then he looked up at Xu Qiuqian.
"Isn't it?"
Xu Qiuqian said helplessly: "Of course not. Your parents were killed by a demon cultivator and their magic weapon was taken away. Later, the demon cultivator was encountered by Zhao Dongyue's parents. After they dealt with the demon cultivator, they took the things from him, so the pendant fell into Zhao Dongyue's hands."
Hearing this, Gu Jiao was stunned again.
"So you misunderstood Zhao Dongyue. It really wasn't her parents who killed your parents."
"Then how did you know, Sister Qiu Qian?"
Xu Qiuqian was speechless for a moment.
The system told her.
But she couldn't tell Gu Jiao about the existence of the system. In Gu Jiao's eyes, it would be an excuse she made up and she would find flaws in it.
"I know Sister Qiu Qian is very tolerant towards this sister, but her parents killed my parents, and I can't let her go." Her voice was extremely cold.
Xu Qiuqian was very worried.
How could she prove that it wasn't Zhao Dongyue's parents who killed her parents? The key point was that the demon cultivator was a human being, and Zhao Dongyue's parents were not perverts, so they would not leave a photo stone to record the killing of the demon cultivator.
If she spoke for Zhao Dongyue now, Gu Jiao would think that she was making excuses for Zhao Dongyue.
"You know the relationship between Zhao Dongyue and me, how could I lie to help her get away with it?"
Gu Jiao curled the corner of her mouth.
"But she hurt you so much and robbed you of your mother's love, but in the end, didn't you do anything to her? Instead, you saved her and helped her stay in the Qingyu Sect." As she spoke, her expression turned cold and there was frost in her eyes.
"Sister Qiu Qian, I don't expect you to stand by me, but I just hope that you can stand by and watch. Otherwise, I don't know what I will do."
