Chapter 163
"Grandpa, Grandpa!"
Mingqiao followed behind with his short legs.
Ming Qiao, a little foodie, is very familiar with all the stalls along the way.
He was drooling as he looked at the snacks his grandfather bought.
The last stall was at the end of the snack street. Behind the end of the street was a dark alley with a strong smell of cosmetics.
Ming Qiao followed to the last stall, and his chubby little hands finally grabbed the corner of his grandfather's clothes.
"Grandpa, don't buy it. Daddy doesn't allow us to eat too much outside."
Wu Ye is prejudiced against any food other than that cooked by his own family.
He was paranoid and thought that the food outside was not very clean.
After all, no one knows whether the person who prepares the food is a clean person.
Even though Wu Ye warned Mingqiao not to eat out too much, Mingqiao still couldn't control her little hands from buying things.
For this reason, Wu Ye once restricted Ming Qiao's pocket money.
But it’s no use even if he sets restrictions. He doesn’t give pocket money, but there are plenty of people at home who give it to him.
"Grandpa? Why are you ignoring Qiao Qiao?"
Ming Qiao, who had been chasing after her grandfather all the way, tilted her little head and looked at him, confusion revealed in her beautiful eyes.
The grandfather who was stared at by him gave him the skewer of meat.
Mingqiao took the skewer and ate it in big mouthfuls.
Grandpa handed him some rice cake again.
An adult and a child were standing on the roadside eating. Ming Qiao choked on the rice cake, which got stuck in his throat and he couldn't swallow it.
His little face turned red from choking.
The grandfather who was standing in front of him bent down and picked him up.
Just when Mingqiao thought that his grandfather was going to pat him on the shoulder or take the cake out of his mouth, he was carried by his grandfather straight into the alley.
The next second, in the dim light of the alley, two figures, one big and one small, suddenly disappeared.
They disappeared so quickly that they didn't attract the attention of passers-by outside the alley.
Lingsi, who did not run with Mingqiao to find grandpa, stood there with a hint of doubt in her expression.
He was wondering why Mingqiao didn't come back.
"Did your eldest brother...go home with grandpa?"
Lingsi paused as he touched the small leaves one by one, and murmured softly.
Yi Yi didn't respond and just continued to sleep.
After a while.
Lingsi raised her leg to leave.
"Hey, Lingsi, why are you the only one here? Where's my Qiao Qiao?"
Xie Jing, who arrived a little later, asked Lingsi.
Just on the way here, Xie Jing encountered the killer they had been chasing.
He tied up the killer, which delayed him a little.
But it’s okay, he thought, he told his son before he left to wait for him to pick him up.
After he gave these instructions, his little darling would definitely not run around.
"Grandpa?"
Lingsi looked at his grandfather who was walking up to him, and his eyebrows wrinkled. He looked puzzled: "Didn't you take Mingqiao away?"
Xie Jing: “???”
When Xie Jing heard this, he felt a chill on his back for a moment.
"What did you say? I picked him up?!"
"Yes, we were at the door just now and saw you buying food. Ming Qiao was very happy, so he went to find you."
Lingsi briefly recounted what had happened.
After he finished speaking, Xie Jing's face turned pale.
"That's not me."
He gnashed his teeth in hatred: "Someone pretended to be me and deceived Qiao Qiao! Lingsi, which direction did they go just now?"
Lingsi pointed in a direction.
Xie Jing strode over to check.
Lingsi stayed where he was, stunned. After a few seconds, he also ran to look for someone.
"I saw Ming Qiao go into the alley. I wanted to call him, but I didn't because you were there. What happened?"
A stall owner who knew Ming Qiao provided Xie Jing with clues.
Xie Jing entered the alley and searched everywhere, but he couldn't find his son.
He clenched his fists and cursed fiercely.
Soon, all the adults in the family knew about Mingqiao’s disappearance.
Xie Jing felt extremely regretful.
"That killer must have appeared on purpose!"
The purpose was to waste his time so that Ming Qiao could be deceived.
"Fuck, damn it."
Shi Ze, who had received the news, came out of the treasure house. There was a small dragon coiled on his wrist, and he was extremely irritable: "I shouldn't have let the Qin family survive in the first place."
It was obviously Qin Bei who did this.
Qin Bei has a magic weapon in his hand. When he disguises himself, people who see him will believe his disguise for no reason.
Qin Bei was being chased by them and was in a very miserable state.
They never expected that Qin Bei would take such a risk and do something hidden right under their noses!
It was too late for the adults to feel upset and regretful. All they could do now was to find Ming Qiao back.
"Can you sense Qiao Qiao's aura?"
"roar."
I'll try.
The small dragon coiled on Shi Ze's wrist growled.
After he responded, he closed his eyes and felt Ming Qiao's breath.
The people around him held their breath and dared not disturb him.
Xie Jing retreated directly.
He went to interrogate the killer he caught on the road.
I don’t know how much time passed.
Xie Jing dug out a location from the killer's mouth, and Sang Yu also told the approximate direction he felt.
In the west.
The group headed west.
Before reaching the west, Ming Qiao realized something was wrong and started to pull at "grandfather's" face with her little hands.
"Who are you?! You're not Grandpa!"
"Who said I'm not your grandpa?"
The "grandfather" who had been silent all this time finally spoke, his voice was cold: "I have arranged a marriage for your grandmother, it is not wrong for you to call me grandpa."
Ming Qiao: “!”
Ming Qiao: "Qin Bei!"
Ming Qiao struggled: "Why aren't you dead yet?"
"Oh, I won't die."
Qin Bei held Xie Jing's face and said to Ming Qiao in his own voice, "You destroyed my Qin family and my sect. How dare I die if I don't take revenge?"
Ming Qiao: “?”
Ming Qiao had a look on his face as if he had seen a disgusting bug: "Have you forgotten that you were the one who hurt others first? If someone else did the same thing to you, would you not be able to bear it?"
What Ming Qiao said made sense, but unfortunately Qin Bei didn't listen.
Qin Bei now only wants revenge.
He wants to take revenge on Mingqiao's family.
"With you in my hands, they will all have to obey me!"
Qin Bei's eyes were filled with madness: "I want them to be my dogs! They must obey my orders."
Ming Qiao: “You’re dreaming!”
Ming Qiao will not let him succeed.
Risking the wrath of Qin Bei, Ming Qiao lowered her head and bit Qin Bei's arm hard.
He bit Qin Bei's arm so hard that it bled.
After biting the person, Ming Qiao still felt it was not enough.
He also touched the magic weapon and wanted to hit Qin Bei.
Qin Bei endured the pain and held down his hand.
"I know you have many magical weapons, but don't even think about touching them."
Qin Bei had some understanding of Ming Qiao, and he knew that Ming Qiao had a lot of treasures.
He took an ordinary-looking rope and tied Mingqiao's hands, feet and Xiaopang's body tightly.
Mingqiao struggled violently, but the more he struggled, the tighter the rope tied him.
"Do you know what kind of rope this is? It's a dragon rope."
"You are a dragon, and this rope is specially designed to defeat you dragons."
Ming Qiao: “…”
Mingqiao Little Fatty Dragon was so angry that he was about to die.
If he hadn't recognized his grandfather at first, he wouldn't be tied up now!
"Just you wait!"
Ming Qiao said angrily: "The adults in my family will not let you go, you are done!"
Ming Qiao's anger only made Qin Bei feel excited.
Before the adults found Ming Qiao, Qin Bei hid Ming Qiao in a dark underground palace.
It is unknown when the underground palace was built. There are various paths crisscrossing inside, and one can easily end up in a dead end if one is not careful.
"No one can find you here."
Qin Bei actually wanted to torture Ming Qiao, but his old injuries had not healed yet and he urgently needed recuperation.
"Just stay here and don't even think about running away. Don't worry, I'll let you see your parents."
Ming Qiao is his only bargaining chip, and he is now counting on Ming Qiao to make a comeback.
After threatening Tong Mingqiao, Qin Bei closed his eyes and started meditating on the spot.
Ming Qiao looked at Qin Bei who had his eyes closed. Of course he would not listen.
He rolled around in the cramped little space, trying to get out.
Qin Bei didn't know whether he didn't notice his rolling, or he noticed it but knew he couldn't run away, so he ignored it.
Spent a day in the underground palace.
The dark and damp space made Mingqiao start coughing.
"I want to bask in the sun."
Ming Qiao demanded while coughing, "If you make me sick, you will have no bargaining chips."
Qin Bei didn't listen.
Qin Bei was eager to let him suffer a little, so he was happy to see him get sick.
The underground palace has not been inhabited for many years and is not suitable for human habitation at all.
Especially those who are in poor health like Mingqiao cannot live here.
After living there for just over a day, Ming Qiao couldn't move anymore.
He hadn't eaten or drunk anything, and his throat started to hurt.
Qin Bei, who had been recuperating on his own for more than a day, squatted down and laughed heartily when he saw the wilted cub.
"The adults around you are more powerful than each other."
"Your bloodline is also very strong."
"But you are still young."
Qin Bei didn't feel that it was shameless for him to attack a child. He looked at Ming Qiao's eyes, which were red from the physical pain, and taunted her wantonly, "You are too young, so it is much easier for me to deal with you than to deal with your family members directly."
Qin Bei said that Ming Qiao was still young and therefore easy to deal with.
But in his heart, he was thinking -
He shouldn't have given Mingqiao the chance to be born.
At the beginning, the bloodline left by Lingyan should have been killed.
Qin Bei was still chattering away his emotions, but Ming Qiao didn't care to listen at all.
He has a fever.
He probably had a fever for a while, so his ears were hurting now.
Qin Bei's unilateral statement received no response.
He frowned, looked at Ming Qiao with disgust, then stood up and left.
He left with peace of mind.
Mingqiao, the little dragon, will definitely not be able to break free from this new dragon-binding rope.
Qin Bei left the small space where Ming Qiao was and prepared to negotiate with the adults in Ming Qiao's family.
He still needs to think carefully about the words he wants to use in the negotiation to see how to say them in a way that would save his face.
Ming Qiao, who was left behind, curled up his little body.
His eyes were red, but he didn't cry.
He didn't want the bad guys to see him crying.
He held back his tears, and through his aching vocal cords he squeezed out two words.
"elder brother."
He misses his brother.
If he had known this earlier, he would have let his brother go to school with him.
With his brother around, he would never be fooled.
Time passes by little by little.
Qin Bei's first letter has been delivered to the hands of all the adults.
He didn't rush into meeting these people.
He tricked Ming Qiao away, and he knew these people would go crazy.
He didn't want to be torn to pieces by these people who lost control before he could even put forward his conditions.
In the letter, Qin Bei put forward his own request.
First, he made Lingyan and his group swear that they would never hurt him.
If they break their oath, they will be punished by heaven and earth.
second.
He asked Ling Yan and the others to return all the Qin family's property, including Sang Yu's treasure house, to him.
third.
He asked Lingyan to become his Taoist partner and made a lifelong partnership with him.
When everyone saw these conditions, they were so angry that their faces turned green.
Xie Jing had his grandson cheated away from him, his wife robbed, and he had to give money to others. He couldn't tolerate even a little bit of this whole set of humiliation.
"The taste of Qiao Qiao is very light."
Just as everyone's faces were grim, Sang Yu, who was wrapped around Shi Ze's wrist, growled and spoke: "Something around him... affected his aura."
They had traveled westward until they came here, and they had searched everywhere they could see where they could hide, but they had found nothing.
"There are two more places, above the sky and below the ground."
You Qing, who also followed, suddenly spoke.
"Duoduo has seen it. There are no Tibetans in the sky, so there are only Tibetans underground."
You Qing believed in Sang Yu's sense of smell.
Since Sang Yu said, Qiao Qiao is in this direction.
If they follow this direction, they won't go wrong.
They searched above the ground, but not below the ground.
You Qing knew that people could hide underground.
"I was outside once and accidentally entered a cave. I stayed there for half a day before I came out."
You Qing shared his own experience to prove that there is space underground.
He actually didn't need to say this. Once he reminded the adults, they knew to look underground.
The adults' search is a thorough and comprehensive one.
They searched till night.
At this moment, the distance was getting closer and closer to Qin Bei.
Qin Bei discovered them.
Qin Bei was extremely angry when he saw that these people did not do as he asked.
He wanted to send a second letter, but now they were too close -
He was afraid of being caught.
It was already late at night, and Qin Bei could no longer sit still. He grabbed Ming Qiao and didn't dare to let Ming Qiao out of his sight for even a second.
He knew how cruel Mingqiao's family members were.
“Very close.”
Perhaps it was Ming Qiao's abnormal body temperature that made his breath more obvious.
Sang Yu smelled a clearer scent.
"Something's not right with Jojo."
Sang Yu had the experience of mistaking a dragon egg. In order to avoid making the same mistake again in the future, after recognizing his dragon egg Wu Ye and his grandson, Sang Yu made preparations in advance and memorized the breath of his son and grandson in a special way.
It was precisely because of this skill that Sang Yu was able to smell the scent and find his way here this time.
Not only could he find Ming Qiao's location, he could also tell from his breath that Ming Qiao was not in good condition.
All the adults knew that Mingqiao was sick.
The adults knew that his illness could flare up at any time.
Everyone became anxious when they thought that Mingqiao might have a disease.
"Sang Yu, is he in this area?"
Lingyan looked at Sang Yu and wanted to ask another question.
Sang Yu didn't answer her.
He let go of Shi Ze's wrist and suddenly flew away from the crowd.
He went to find the exact location himself.
When the others saw him looking for it, they also continued to search in the area.
About half a quarter of an hour.
Qin Bei carried Ming Qiao and began to hide from pursuit in the underground palace.
The sweat on his forehead was dripping down.
"Ming Qiao, I thought you were highly valued, but now it seems that your status in the family is just this low!"
"Did you see that? Your family doesn't care about your life or death at all!"
"It's clear that if they just comply with my conditions, I won't hurt you, and I might even let you go, but they don't care about you at all!"
Qin Bei ran while carrying Ming Qiao, and did not forget to put eye drops on her.
He is trying to sow discord between Mingqiao and his family.
Ming Qiao was confused due to the burns, but he didn't let her brainwash him.
Ming Qiao understood it very well——
His family will definitely find him.
Just as Qin Bei imagined, not looking for or resisting, just staying where he was and obeying the conditions, this was purely Qin Bei's daydream.
The adults in his family were not so stupid.
His family knew what Qin Bei was thinking.
Qin Bei had finally captured him. Even though the terms had not been negotiated yet and even though he was being chased, Qin Bei was reluctant to kill him.
He is Qin Bei's last amulet.
Unless he is in desperate situation, Qin Bei will not take his life away.
Ming Qiao could understand the truth, but Qin Bei couldn't.
Qin Bei just felt that Ming Qiao’s family was cruel enough!
The path in the underground palace is difficult to navigate.
Qin Bei was out of breath soon.
He held Ming Qiao tightly in one hand and leaned his back against the stone wall to rest for a while.
"Ming Qiao, listen to me carefully. If your parents push me too far, we will die together!"
Ming Qiao's face was flushed red from the burning, and he looked like he didn't need Qin Bei to take him to death.
He's burning to death now.
I don’t know if it’s because Ming Qiao never responds, or if this kind of environment has caused Qin Bei’s psychological defenses to collapse.
His words became more frequent.
His words were not only dense but also jumpy, making it difficult for Mingqiao to understand.
"Do you think that if you kill me, all the hatred will be settled? I tell you, it won't."
"Hahaha, your revenge is not complete yet."
"No, or rather, you are wrong..."
"Why do you want to kill me?! The Xie family is just a bunch of mortals. They can die if they want. Why are you holding on to them like this? Are you sick?"
Qin Bei's words were incoherent.
He said that he was not the murderer of the Xie family, but then he said that the Xie family deserved to die and should not be held accountable.
He spoke a few more incoherent words and then stopped.
Sang Yu, who had finally found his grandson's position, had already swelled in size.
He lifted the ground with one claw.
The dragon's claws were as hard as iron, digging through the soil and breaking through the walls.
The figures of Qin Bei and Ming Qiao all appeared in the eyes of the giant dragon.
The dragon let out a low roar.
"Your spiritual power, your spiritual power has recovered?!"
Qin Bei met the dragon's eyes, and for a moment, he felt horrified.
He felt that the dragon's strength had recovered by more than half.
In front of the giant dragon, his body was pitifully small.
"Stand back!"
The menstrual shock brought by the dragon is strong.
But Qin Bei's desire to survive is stronger.
He had no doubt that the dragon's open mouth could bite off his head in one bite!
He suppressed the fear that seemed to emanate from his bones and lifted Ming Qiao in front of him.
"Get back!"
"I'll count to three. If you don't retreat, I'll kill him!"
Qin Bei roared, and his big hands uncontrollably strangled Ming Qiao's neck.
Before he could strangle it, the dragon had already retreated.
Seeing the giant dragon retreating, a look of joy flashed across Qin Bei's face.
He continued to threaten the dragon live.
"I want you to stop the others for me! If anyone dares to come over, I will kill Ming Qiao!"
Qin Bei was going crazy at the moment, and it looked like he really wanted to hurt Ming Qiao.
The dragon assessed the situation and did not provoke Qin Bei at this time.
He raised his head and let out a long roar.
This is to inform others not to come near here.
"If you had been so obedient earlier, I wouldn't have tortured Ming Qiao like this."
All the requests Qin Bei put forward were accepted, and the fear in his heart dissipated a little.
He narrowed his eyes at the dragon, his mind calculating his next move.
Should we stick to the original plan and propose the conditions in the letter, or should we take a different approach?
He also has valuable information in his hand.
This information, he estimated, would save his life.
Just when Qin Bei was still hesitating, a strange green figure suddenly appeared behind Qin Bei.
The green shadow also looked up at the dragon.
The eyes of the man and the dragon met from afar.
The dragon was sure that he had never seen the owner of this green shadow.
He had no impression of this handsome face at all.
He had no impression of this person, but this person nodded slightly to him.
Dragon: “…”
I'm afraid he's not a very outgoing person.
The eye contact between the dragon and the strange man made Qin Bei keenly sense that something was wrong.
Qin Bei followed the dragon's gaze and turned his head suddenly.
And just as he turned around, the man in green slapped him in the face.
"Bang--"
There was a dull sound of someone falling to the ground.
The strange man smashed Qin Bei's crown with one palm.
Qin Bei fell backwards, his eyes wide open.
He died with his eyes open.
The man in blue killed Qin Bei swiftly and efficiently, then picked up Ming Qiao.
He held Mingqiao in one hand and placed the other hand on Mingqiao's forehead.
A gentle spiritual power came, and the burning temperature on Ming Qiao's forehead subsided little by little.
"Your fever is gone."
The man in blue held Mingqiao's back and let Mingqiao's little head rest on his shoulder. He said softly, "Close your eyes and sleep for a while. When you wake up, you can see your family."
Under the man's low and gentle voice, Ming Qiao closed her eyes and fell asleep.
The man heard his heavy breathing and raised his hand to pat his back.
"Who are you?"
The giant dragon came and turned into a human form in order to better bring Ming Qiao back.
He raised his hand and hugged Mingqiao over.
The man didn't fight with him.
"My name is Fu Shen. I am here to visit my old friends in the Zhuling tribe. I heard that a cub of the Zhuling tribe was lost, so I came with them to look for it."
When he heard that he was a guest from the Zhuling tribe and had just saved Ming Qiao, Sang Yu no longer had any hostility towards this person.
He hugged his precious grandson tightly and asked casually as he was about to leave: "The Zhuling tribe rarely has guests. Where are you from?"
He was asking about Fu Shen's identity.
Fu Shen smiled and replied, "I am from the Wu Clan."
Sang Yu: “…”
Sang Yu was stunned.
He knew that the Wu Clan was an ancient and mysterious clan that owned a sacred tree and had some relationship with God.
But isn’t it said that all the people in this ethnic group have disappeared?
"We like to be quiet and rarely show up in public."
As if he saw Sang Yu's confusion, Fu Shen briefly explained that his people just didn't like to go out, not all of them were dead.
The author has something to say:
