The smile that appeared on Jiang Li's face clearly indicated that she was thinking of someone.
Seeing this, Zhao Shuhua wisely shut his mouth.
It seems...
That handsome young man was definitely not the type of person Jiang Li liked.
The person she mentioned who was entrusted to send the handsome young man must hold a very important place in Jiang Li's heart.
Jiang Xueqi only felt that Jiang Li was hypocritical.
It's utterly disgusting to keep Lu Jiming hanging like this and not give him a quick death.
Ignoring what others thought, Jiang Li glanced at the sky, estimated the time, and then closed her eyes.
Now is the time to conserve our energy and prepare for the future, so that we can better deal with unknown situations later.
Although the others were still worried, they had no other choice but to close their eyes, just like Jiang Li.
Three hours have passed...
The driver drove the car to a completely unfamiliar place.
That's the foot of the mountain, surrounded by mountains.
This is the only flat land, surrounded by mountains.
The road they came from was the only gap in the mountains.
Under the moonlight, everything seemed eerie.
"Third...Third Brother..." Jiang Xueqi suddenly reached out and hugged Jiang Chengying, stammering, "I...I'm scared..."
Jiang Chengying withdrew her hand, a hint of displeasure on her face. "You're such a grown-up, why are you acting like a child? It's perfectly peaceful here, what's there to be afraid of?"
Jiang Xueqi's body trembled again uncontrollably. "I...I'm just scared..."
Jiang Li looked around and marked three spots. "You can light fires in these three places. If any wild animals in the mountains see the firelight here, they won't dare to come over."
The group immediately obeyed and went to start a fire.
Jiang Li then used a talisman to create a barrier. "Don't wander around here. Get something to eat first. I'm going out for a walk."
With that, Jiang Li walked out.
After casually wandering around, Jiang Li sensed the presence of countless ghosts.
only……
These auras are merely a means to deceive people.
Jiang Li threw out a few talismans to purify the surrounding ghostly aura, and then she focused her mind to sense everything around her.
No, there is still nothing.
This thing does know how to hide.
Jiang Li calculated that Tian Tian's location was nearby, but finding Tian Tian herself was not an easy task.
Surrounded by mountains, they could easily find us by simply digging a tunnel here.
Jiang Li took out the small paper figure she had drawn earlier and used her spiritual power to activate it, making it come alive in an instant.
"Remember this scent, and search carefully." Jiang Li took out something that carried Tian Tian's scent, and told the little paper doll to remember the scent. Then, with a flick of her wrist, the little paper doll quickly disappeared from Jiang Li's sight.
After Jiang Li returned, everyone had already prepared food.
Zhao Shuhua warmly handed a self-heating claypot rice to Jiang Li.
When you're out and about, these fast foods are the most convenient.
Jiang Li took it.
Seeing this, Jiang Xueqi couldn't help but pout, "There's not much food to begin with, and Jiang Li has so much food of her own, why are you sharing it with her? What if we don't have enough to eat later?"
Upon hearing this, others couldn't help but frown, but the current situation left them no time to argue with Jiang Xueqi.
Only Jiang Chengying looked at Jiang Xueqi with a stern face, "These are things prepared by the production team for all staff and guests. Although Jiang Li has her own things, it doesn't change the fact that she is a guest on the show. Since these are things prepared by the production team, she naturally has her share. Jiang Xueqi, what's wrong with you? Why have you become so unreasonable?"
"Third Brother!" Jiang Xueqi looked at Jiang Chengying in disbelief. "How could you say that about me? I was thinking of everyone, not just myself."
"Alright, stop talking." Jiang Chengying had a terrible headache. "If I could turn back time, I really wouldn't want to bring you to this show."
"Ha!" This sentence made Jiang Xueqi explode. She couldn't help but sneer, "You don't want to bring me to this show? Then who do you want to bring? Jiang Li?"
Seeing Jiang Chengying's unpleasant expression and silence, Jiang Xueqi continued angrily, "It's a pity that Jiang Li came with Tian Tian. Even if you invited her, she wouldn't come with you! In Jiang Li's heart, what are you? You're not even as good as a friend she's only known for a few days!"
"Jiang Xueqi, shut up!" Jiang Chengying's face was ashen, and his tone was full of coldness.
In that instant, he seemed to finally understand why his family members had suddenly changed their attitude towards Jiang Xueqi.
Selfish, jealous, perverted, and twisted.
If this is her true appearance, probably not many people would like her.
"Jiang Xueqi, while I still have some patience with you, you'd better behave yourself." Jiang Chengying thought for a moment, then said coldly.
"A little patience? Hahaha... Did I hit a nerve?" Jiang Xueqi suddenly burst into laughter. "You want me to shut up obediently? I won't! Now you think I'm bad, and Jiang Li is good, but where were you all before?"
Jiang Chengying felt a pang of regret when he thought about how he had neglected Jiang Li because he was concerned about Jiang Xueqi's feelings.
Jiang Chengying turned to look at Jiang Li, her tone becoming more serious, "I'm sorry."
"No..." Jiang Li immediately moved to the side, saying nonchalantly, "You mustn't apologize to me. Jiang Xueqi cares about those things, but I, Jiang Li, don't. Can you please stop dragging me into your family's affairs? I'm very busy every day and don't have time to play these family games with you."
Jiang Chengying was speechless.
The others, unaware of the truth, instantly developed a gossipy look in their eyes upon hearing this conversation.
Zhao Shuhua leaned closer to Jiang Li and asked in a low voice, "B-Boss, what's going on? What's your relationship with those two? I... I don't quite understand."
"It's nothing," Jiang Li replied calmly.
"Jiang Li!" Jiang Chengying was already angry with Jiang Xueqi, and hearing Jiang Li's words made her even more annoyed. "Is it so hard to admit that you are our Jiang family's biological daughter? Whether you are willing to admit it or not, you are my own sister!"
Jiang Li looked at him expressionlessly and said, word by word, "Remember what you said when you saw me. I said it, and you are not allowed to go back on your word."
Jiang Chengying's expression immediately wilted.
Zhao Shuhua's eyes widened.
Yoho!
What earth-shattering gossip is this?
[Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap!!! I was getting bored and dozing off, but suddenly I'm wide awake!!!]
[I used to firmly believe that Jiang Li was Jiang Chengying's lover, ah...]
[My dear sister... brothers and sisters, have you heard any shocking gossip?]
Judging from their conversation, Jiang Xueqi has positioned herself against Jiang Li. Jiang Li is her biological daughter, so Jiang Xueqi... tsk...
[A drama of real and fake heiresses?]
[I have a feeling that what's actually happening is... the disliked heiress is actually a master of metaphysics?]
Here's the pen upstairs! I'm going to see your masterpiece tonight!
Although Jiang Chengying is truly a terrible older brother, those who are attacking him because of his relationship can finally shut up!
[Tsk, I can't hold back anymore. I'm Jiang Li's classmate. Since it's so dark, I'll spill some juicy gossip with you all...]
