Chapter 95 Leaving
Qiao Tianchu chuckled a few times, but perhaps because the arc of his laughter was too big, it pulled on the wound and he spat out a mouthful of blood foam.
"You really are... Never mind." He put away his smile and his face became more serious: "What do you want to know?"
Qiao Yue: "What's the grudge between you and my father? Why did you hurt the people of Tianhe City? Why did you cultivate evil energy? What's your relationship with the demons?"
"My spiritual roots are destroyed. If I don't cultivate evil, I will cultivate demons. I just happened to get the Blood Demon Cauldron, so I will become an evil cultivator because it can help me quickly gain powerful strength."
"As for the matter between me and Qiao Tianya, haha, let me tell you what happened before you returned to Tianhe City.
Two years ago, Tianhe City was suddenly struck by a wave of beasts. I led the city's monks in a desperate defense of the city gates. Our meritorious service in protecting the city earned me a reputation that eclipsed City Lord Qiao Tianya. He was narrow-minded, and how could he tolerate others gaining a higher reputation in this realm than he did?
During the final battle to clear the beast tide, he pretended to accompany me. During a fierce battle, he stabbed me in the back. Then, in front of everyone, he pretended to save me and was injured by the beast. Afterward, rumors spread that I had been too eager for success and had caused his injury. My reputation in the city plummeted overnight, and I became a despised figure.
I went to him to ask why he did this, but he framed me and imprisoned me. He brutally destroyed my spiritual roots right in front of me, rendering me a cripple. Tell me, shouldn't I hate him? Shouldn't I kill him?
At this point, a strong murderous intent burst out from Qiao Tianchu's empty eyes, and his body trembled slightly.
He continued, "He wanted to trap me to death, but I escaped because of my fate. He got scared and found you, but he went into hiding himself. Look how cowardly he is!"
"It's a pity that I failed. He is so lucky..."
Qiao Tianchu smiled bitterly, his eyes full of powerlessness and despair, and his breath became weak.
"Okay, you know everything you need to know. Kill me now."
"Let me...die happily."
Qiao Yue's body trembled slightly, and complex emotions were entangled in her heart like a tangled thread. Every time she moved, she was filled with guilt.
"Second uncle, I'm sorry."
Things have come to this point, and my second uncle's life has been ruined. Her apology is so pale and ridiculous.
Qiao Tianchu smiled and said, "What does it have to do with you? If you really feel guilty, just kill me and help me get rid of it."
"good"
Qiao Yue said in a hoarse voice, and a trace of spiritual power flowed through her fingers into the place where his heart was beating.
"Let's go. It's the last time. I want to be alone for a while."
Qiao Yue's eyes were red as she lowered him down from the wall. When she reached the door of the cell, she heard Qiao Tianchu's last voice from behind her.
"It wasn't me... and those first few words were sincere."
Qiao Yue didn't answer and walked out of the dungeon step by step.
The sun was shining brightly outside, but she still felt a little cold.
It had been a while since she left home, and she wanted to go back to the sect, her master, and her senior brothers.
······
In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed.
The originally collapsed City Lord's Mansion has been rebuilt. After reconstruction, the City Lord's Mansion looks brand new and magnificent.
The gate of the mansion is majestic and magnificent, with a vermilion lacquer door that is heavy and solid. Stepping into the mansion, you will find a wide and straight stone path, with lifelike stone beasts on both sides and dazzling glazed tiles.
The feeling given to Nan Xiao was 'rich, luxurious, and impressive...'
She touched the spirit stones in her pocket. She originally thought she was a wealthy woman, but now it seems that she was overthinking it.
The matter of Tianhe City came to an end. Elder Qin of Huanhai Sect had already returned to the sect with those alchemy disciples. Only Jian Mo and Zhuo Hua stayed.
Qiao Yue dealt with all the matters in Tianhe City and planned to return to the sect with her fellow junior brothers and sisters tomorrow.
Before leaving, she gathered several disciples from the sect together. In order to thank everyone for their previous help, she bought a lot of spiritual wine and spiritual fruits that were beneficial for cultivation, as well as some food.
Chat, laugh and play together.
Only the two people from the Tianjian Sect refused, and Qiao Yue did not force them. She prepared some gifts and sent them to their residence separately.
Regardless, they did help.
After spending some time together, everyone has become familiar with each other and feels less restrained.
The one who changed the most was Jian Mo.
"Junior Sister Nan, this fruit is good, you should try it..." Jian Mo placed the fruit she had carefully selected in front of Nan Xiao, looking at her with sparkling eyes.
Nan Xiao: “…”
"Senior Sister Jian, let's eat later."
She had been fed more than ten fruits and could not eat any more.
"Oh." Jian Mo lowered her head in disappointment.
"I eat..." Nan Xiao said with a wry smile.
She didn't know what was going on, but Senior Sister Jian particularly liked her. She would come to see her every few days and feed her from time to time.
Nan Xiao pinched the flesh around her waist.
I've gained weight.
Senior Sister Jian’s love is very good, but she is not worthy of it. It is better to be aloof as before.
Nan Xiao chewed the fruit with a bitter and resentful look on his face.
"Senior sister, please get me one too." Zhuo Hua poked his head out from the side, his eyes a little blurry, obviously he had drunk quite a bit of wine.
"Oh." Jian Mo responded and picked up a fruit and handed it over.
Zhuo Hua: “…”
During this period, he often thought that Nan Xiao was his senior sister's biological junior sister, and he looked like a found person.
Su Xun put his hand on his shoulder, hooked his neck, and pulled him over.
"You kid, you can't drink this much."
Zhuo Hua retorted: "No way, I'll take a break..."
“·····”
Yang Boyong smiled and poured himself a glass of wine. He then told the two junior brothers beside him, "Drink less."
Otherwise he couldn't carry two.
The two junior brothers nodded in agreement, but they drank a lot of wine.
Qiao Yue helped everyone grill skewers, occasionally saying a few words and having a drink with everyone.
Mingcheng was lying alone on the roof, holding a wine jug, listening to the laughter of the crowd and looking at the stars.
This feeling of peaceful and quiet life was something he had never experienced before, and it seemed very good.
During this period, because of Nan Xiao, I was forced to mix with these sect disciples. I actually developed some feelings for them. It's scary, really scary...
At this moment, the moonlight gently embraces everyone, and the years are quiet and beautiful...
······
Happy times are always short.
Although Nan Xiao drank less, when he woke up, he still had a splitting headache and felt very uncomfortable.
Qiao Yue and Su Xun had already packed their luggage and were waiting for Nan Xiao.
Her things were all in her storage ring, so there was nothing to pack. She leaned her head on Qiao Yue's shoulder and said weakly, "Senior Sister, I have a headache."
"This is for you. This is the elixir that Junior Sister Jian left for you before she left. Take it and you'll feel better."
Nan Xiao swallowed it directly, and within half a cup of tea, the headache symptoms indeed disappeared.
She asked, "Have Senior Sister Jian and the others left?"
Su Xun said, "I left early. You were the only one sleeping like a dead pig. I couldn't wake you up no matter how hard I tried."
Nan Xiao was dissatisfied: "Fourth Brother, why are you still making personal attacks? That's too much."
Su Xun made a face: "About..."
Qiao Yue punished them one by one: "Stop making trouble, let's go."
After they left the City Lord's Mansion, Qiao Yue took a last look behind her before leaving.
