Chapter 208 Undercurrent



Qu Li's escape made the high priest very unhappy.

The frustration of losing that year surged up again, making his eyes even more sinister.

Bai Fengyao nodded, not quite understanding.

She was actually afraid of facing someone who exuded a dangerous aura.

The high priest slowly digested the chaotic emotions in his heart and let go of his hand.

"What you have to do now is to contact Xiao Ci and Xiao Rui first. No matter what method you use, you must make them my people! Another thing is to use Bai Ruowei or Changle to lure out Qu Li. Do you understand?"

Bai Fengyao harbors resentment towards Changle.

She remembered how Changle whipped her with a willow branch when she came out of the prison, and even wondered if Changle had already known that she was a fake.

That's why she was pranked that day and looked so miserable.

The high priest left. If it weren't for the faint scent of his unique aura lingering in the room, she would have thought that everything was just a dream.

Just like when she was young, when he broke into her room, she should not have been bewitched by him and agreed to serve him, and from then on she fell into an abyss from which there was no escape.

In the darkness, she hugged her knees and tried hard to calm down.

The next day, she came to the dining room with big dark circles under her eyes.

Qu Wenzhao looked at her and said, "Eldest sister, are you worried about something? Your dark circles are so severe!"

Bai Fengyao looked at the young man in front of her and suddenly clenched her fists.

"Wen Zhao, the academy is almost finished. Do you want to go take a look?"

"Forget it, I'm like this!"

Qu Wenzhao was not stupid, she was just an imposter. She definitely had no good ideas when she proposed to go to the academy with him at this time.

Qiao Zi said, "Miss, Master, the Princess of Changle County will be here soon."

Hearing him mention Changle, Qu Wenzhao's eyebrows became particularly gentle.

"We can let her go with us!"

"Let's talk about it later!" Qu Wenzhao still refused.

Bai Fengyao pulled the corners of her mouth stiffly, "Okay, since you're so unwilling, then I'll go over and take a look myself! While it's not completely finished yet, if there's anything wrong, have him fix it properly!"

Qu Wenzhao nodded.

As the two were chatting, they heard Changle's voice.

"Qu Wenzhao, I brought you some snacks!"

Qu Wenzhao looked at the girl with a bright smile and sharp eyes, and his heart became very satisfied.

Changle put down the food box and said, "Try it."

"good."

Bai Fengyao felt more or less jealous when she saw the two people whose eyes seemed to be filled with candy and whose eyes were so sweet that they could pull strings every time they looked at each other.

If Qu Li wasn't there, she could still be in love with Xiao Xian and be so good to him.

She doesn't need to bear the face of the person she hates the most and submit to others in order to survive.

The more she thought about it, the more disgusted she felt.

The desire to destroy everything Qu Li cared about became stronger.

The high priest asked her to use Bai Ruowei to force Qu Li to show up, but she felt that the young man in front of her was more suitable.

Noticing Bai Fengyao's sinister gaze, Changle suddenly turned his head to look over.

"Li'er, what's wrong with you?"

Bai Fengyao felt a little guilty: "What's wrong with me?"

"That look you gave me just now was really scary! It gave me the creeps!"

"Really?" Bai Fengyao twitched the corner of her mouth, "You must have seen it wrong!"

"Maybe!" Changle didn't dwell on this matter anymore.

After breakfast, Bai Fengyao went to the academy.

Along the way, she was thinking about how to use Qu Wenzhao to lure Qu Li out.

The high priest had given her a few good people, but if she used them, she was afraid that the high priest would feel incompetent.

Finally, she had an idea.

"Miss, we've arrived at the academy." Awang said.

After the divorce, Awang was still a member of the Chen Palace, and his indentures were all in the Chen Palace. He volunteered to drive Qu Li's carriage. Xiao Xian did not make things difficult for him and asked the housekeeper to give him his indentures.

Bai Fengyao lifted the curtain, took a look, and got off the carriage.

Qu Yuxing had a severe heart attack when he saw her.

The person who killed Qu Wenqian was said to be one of his enemies. He seemed to have no problems, but he was full of flaws.

Helpless, even after the divorce, Xiao Xian still protected her, so he could only grit his teeth and swallow it.

Fang provoked trouble in public and slandered Qu Li, so he was thrown into prison and would not be released for another month.

He didn't have any deep feelings for Fang. She used to be considerate and smart, but ever since she started asking about Li Ran, he completely hated her.

A month later, he would arrange for someone to send her to the farm. As for how long she could live, that was not something he could control.

Bai Fengyao asked about the progress, but Qu Yuxing still had a cold face.

"Don't worry, I don't want to lose my head because of the emperor's wrath."

Bai Fengyao sneered twice and didn't let him accompany her. After walking around the academy, she got on the carriage and left.

Looking at the carriage going further and further away, Qu Yuxing clenched his hands tightly with hatred in his eyes.

He felt like there was a fire burning in his heart. He picked up the teacup beside him and drank it down with his head tilted back.

Soon, he felt his mind was a little foggy.

Shaking his head, he gave a few brief instructions and went to the lounge.

Qu Li came out of the space and glared at him with cold eyes.

A thunderclap suddenly exploded in Qu Yuxing's mind, and he didn't hide his disgust at all: "Why are you haunting me?"

Qu Li folded his arms with a half-smile in his face, "Qu Yuxing, let me ask you, how did my mother die?"

"He died of illness!"

"But Fang told me that it wasn't true!"

"A woman like Fang who is only interested in profit, do you believe what she says?"

"Why don't you believe it?"

"Qu Li, I..."

Qu Yuxing's brain was somewhat out of control, and soon his eyes became dull.

She curled her lips, "Qu Yuxing, have you known for a long time that Wen Zhao is not your biological son?"

She wondered if the reason why Qu Yuxing treated Li Ran so cruelly was because he couldn't accept that Li Ran, who had become his wife, was pregnant with another man's child.

As for that man, she vaguely felt that he seemed to be related to Xiling.

These days, she has been trying hard to review all the things about Li Ran, but unfortunately, every time she has some clues, she always encounters obstacles.

Although Qu Yuxing might not know her biological father, she still wanted to give it a try.

Maybe we can find some clues?

Qu Yuxing was very resistant. His forehead was tense and his eyes turned bloodshot because of the endurance, entanglement and resistance.

Qu Li did not force him to continue asking.

After a while, when his emotions had calmed down a little, she asked again: "Did Li Ran leave anything behind before he passed away? Where is it?"
