Qi Jincheng remained silent, and no one knew what he was thinking at that moment.
Seeing this, He Fan said, "Miss Li, your foot is injured. You should leave with the rescue team first."
"I'm not leaving." Although Li Xiaoxiao had sprained her ankle and had abrasions, she couldn't calm her guilt until she saw Qiao Xi return safely. She sat down against a big tree and said firmly, "I'm going to wait for Qiao Xi to come back here."
"And Ninth Master, Ninth Master has also disappeared. Haven't you found her yet?"
"The search and rescue team is still searching," He Fan replied.
Li Xiaoxiao's eyes welled up with tears, and she buried her head in her knees. "They must come back safely."
"Yes, I will," Qi Jincheng replied.
After saying that, he suddenly stood up.
He Fan hurriedly asked, "President, where are you going?"
"Find someone." Qi Jincheng didn't want to stop.
He Fan tried to dissuade him, saying, "You're already injured."
Qi Jincheng said nonchalantly, "It's just a minor injury. I don't even want to live if I can't find her."
Biying Villa.
Qiao Xi woke up in an unfamiliar environment. The pain in her head made her unconsciously reach up and touch it, only to find that her entire forehead seemed to be wrapped in gauze.
Her torn clothes have been changed; someone has given her clean clothes.
What place is this?
When she was with Li Xiaoxiao and Ninth Master, she accidentally fell from a height again and then lost consciousness.
As I was lost in thought, the door opened.
A middle-aged woman came in carrying something.
Qiao Xi's first reaction was that she didn't recognize her. Her second reaction was that her clothes looked like a maid's uniform.
"Young Miss, you're awake." The maid smiled and went over to her when she saw that she had woken up.
Qiao Xi hurriedly asked, "Who are you?"
"Where am I? How did I get here?"
Where are my friends?
She asked several questions in a row, but the maid didn't answer any of them. She just told her, "Miss, you have a head injury and have lost a lot of blood. You need to rest."
The answer was irrelevant.
Did she not know?
"Tell me, where are my friends?" Qiao Xi couldn't help but emphasize her words.
Just as the maid was about to answer, the door opened again, and another man entered.
"Sir." The servant immediately bowed respectfully to him.
The man gestured for her to leave, saying, "You can go out now."
"It's you?" Qiao Xi recognized him.
That day, when she went to the cemetery to sweep her mother's grave, this was the man she saw.
The man looked at her with a kind smile, "Xiao Xi, we meet again."
Xiao Xi?
Why did he address me so intimately? It seemed like they had only met once, and didn't even really know each other.
Qiao Xi became more wary. "Who exactly are you?"
"Where exactly is this place?"
“Biying Manor,” the man answered her.
Qiao Xi was completely unfamiliar with this place and had never heard of it before. "Aren't I on Dawang Mountain?"
The man nodded and said, "Yes, this place is very close to Mount Dawang."
"Where are my friends?" Qiao Xi asked.
The man replied apologetically, "My men only saw you, not your friend."
Qiao Xi didn't care who he was; all she wanted to do was find Li Xiaoxiao and Ninth Master as soon as possible. A whole night had passed, and she wondered how they were doing.
Will the homeroom teacher call the police to send a rescue team to save them?
Seeing that she was about to get up, the man advised her, "You shouldn't run around like that."
"I'm going to find them." Qiao Xi's tone left no room for argument.
The man added, "My people are already looking for it. I'll let you know as soon as I have any news."
"You still haven't told me who you really are," Qiao Xi asked again.
The man seemed to be mentally preparing himself, but he quickly put on a relaxed expression and said, "Let me reintroduce myself."
"My name is Wen Shaoqing."
Before Qiao Xi could process the name, the next sentence shocked her so much that her pupils dilated.
“It’s your father,” Wen Shaoqing said seriously.
Qiao Xi's heart skipped a beat for two seconds.
"What are you saying?" she murmured.
Wen Shaoqing was unaware that Qiao Xi already knew that Qiao Guangyuan was not her biological father, and he could understand her feelings at this moment.
“Your biological father is not Qiao Guangyuan, it’s me,” Wen Shaoqing said again.
Qiao Xi gave a forced smile. "I don't know who you are or what your intentions are, but please don't talk nonsense here."
"Xiaoxi, I know..."
Qiao Xi didn't want to hear it, "Please don't call me that either, we're not even acquaintances."
Wen Shaoqing sat down on the sofa next to her and said slowly, "If you are willing to give me some time, I can tell you everything."
Qiao Xi was about to refuse, but he then added, "Including some things about your mother."
Qiao Xi couldn't refuse her mother's request, and instinctively chose to remain silent.
Wen Shaoqing took it as her being willing to listen.
After a brief silence, a hint of sadness appeared in his eyes, and he slowly said, "That was thirty years ago."
“I was seriously wounded during a mission, and your mother saved me as I lay dying.”
"At that time, she was just a sixteen-year-old girl and an orphan. She was adopted by a family when she was ten years old. That family happened to own a pharmacy, and she stole medicine from the pharmacy to save me."
"I thought I was going to die, but she miraculously saved me. I was in a hurry to go back, so I left without even saying thank you. When I went to find her with money, she was already homeless."
"Because her family found out she was stealing medicine, and her adoptive mother had just given birth to a boy, she was already annoyed with her, so she used that incident as an excuse to kick her out."
He paused briefly, lost in his memories, "Finally, I found her, took her back, and raised her by my side."
“We spent every day together. I found her a tutor, and she took care of me while she studied. Until one day, she found out my true identity.”
"I am the sect leader of the Heavenly Fiend Sect."
Have you heard of Xiaoxi?
Qiao Xi's heart suddenly trembled. The Heavenly Fiend Sect...
What is the relationship between the Heavenly Slaughter Sect and the Heavenly Fiend Sect?
Is it an organization?
Qiao Xi couldn't help but ask, "Where is the Heavenly Slaughter Sect?"
"It has always been Tian Sha Men. Tian Sha Men is just a pronunciation issue for some people," Wen Shaoqing explained.
Qiao Xi stared at him blankly. The Tian Sha Sect, an organization that struck fear into the hearts of many, was actually the sect leader of the Tian Sha Sect.
Wen Shaoqing saw a hint of fear in her eyes. He smiled faintly and said, "I got to that position when I was eighteen. I've lived a life of constant danger and never thought I would have a good end. The best outcome is to die on a mission."
