Inner Thoughts Exposed: Reborn General's Farming Daughter Has a System

Chapter 172: Chapter 172: Xiao Yuyan is Missing

When Xiao Qingya woke up, she expected herself to see a beautiful notification about how she had completed the mission and obtained its rewards.

Her body was all sore, especially her neck. Without a doubt, Chen Huayun’s strong grip had left a mark there.

She looked around. It was the familiar room in her house in Hejia Village. Fortunately, she was fine. Someone must have found her there and brought her home.

The water ghosts had kept their promise, so she also would naturally keep the part of what she was supposed to do.

[Host... HOST!!] The System’s panicked voice filled her mind. She jolted, instinctively covering her ears.

[System, you almost made me deaf... no, are going to make me go crazy and suffer from mental ilness.] The little one snorted.

She was too tired and wanted to go back to sleep. Her neck was incredibly stiff, and she couldn’t even move her head without pain.

[My neck wouldn’t snap, would it...?] Her cold hands touched her own neck.

The System finally calmed down a little. Its body was still dirty and a little wet. No one seemed to be free enough to take care of it. Only Xiao Qingya’s dress has been changed.

As soon as Xiao Qingya woke up, the System was so frightened when it checked the notifications.

There was actually another mission when its baby host had passed out!

Now, the System hesitated on how to tell Xiao Qingya. It had scanned the situation around the house, and its heart had jumped in worry.

Zhou Anran was unconscious, probably because she had passed out from the news. Meanwhile, the Xiao siblings were busy trying to follow where the river was heading to.

[Host... you might want to check the notification.] The System said carefully.

Xiao Qingya had a bad premonition when she heard her system’s trembling voice. She hurriedly checked the notification.

[Mission failed!]

The notification was written with a red exclamation mark.

Something she was all too familiar with.

Her heart started to beat faster. She checked the notifications before that and her eyes landed on a particular mission that was issued not long ago.

[Mission Triggered!]

[Mission Objective: A malicious person is plotting against Xiao Yuyan. Help her get out of the river in time.]

[Rewards: 5000 system points.]

It was the highest reward she had ever seen... signalling its significance.

Her eyes felt blurry and she nearly passed out again!

As soon as Chen Huayun took her to the river, Xiao Yuyan might have gone to look for her, giving a chance for this malicious person to shove her into the river.

Or... is this malicious person also Chen Huayun? Xiao Qingya couldn’t ascertain it for now.

[Host, it’s fine, it’s fine.] The System jumped to Xiao Qingya’s lap, trying to console her. [We will find your sister.]

The little one’s eyes already watered, and she sobbed quietly. [System, it’s because of me... My second sister got hurt because of me.]

Xiao Yuyan’s whereabouts should be unknown too. She was swept away by the water currents.

Xiao Qingya only had an agreement to deal with Chen Huayun and help her to go ashore with the water ghosts. Hence, they didn’t interfere in Xiao Yuyan’s case.

[I have to go and find her.] She said with determination once she calmed down a little.

She struggled to get up, trying to ignore the pain on her neck. The System was genuinely worried after it saw its host condition.

There were already some herbs that were applied on her neck, but obviously it wouldn’t help with instant recovery. After struggling for a long time, Xiao Qingya dragged her weak body toward the door.

"Little Ya, you are already awake?" A voice tinged with worry entered her ears. She looked up, and winced.

In order to lessen the pain on her neck, she had to keep her gaze down. Instinctively, she clutched her head.

"Auntie Su Wan," Xiao Qingya muttered.

Su Wan was taken aback, and she directly approached the little one, crouching down. "How are you feeling? It must have hurt, right?"

She patiently wiped her tear-streaked face with her silk handkerchief.

Xiao Qingya wanted to shake her head, but she couldn’t even do that. Her neck started to hurt badly just as she was about to move it. She gave up and could only stare at Su Wan.

"Where is my mother?" She asked worriedly.

The System was trailing behind her. She was so worried that she forgot she had a golden finger she could ask.

Su Wan had a conflicted expression on her face. "Your mother is... she..."

Before she could answer, the System already told Xiao Qingya. [She is in your sister’s room, unconscious, Host.]

Xiao Qingya’s little face paled again, and she turned around without waiting for Su Wan’s answer. She headed to her sister’s room, opened the door, and entered it.

Almost instinctively, she stared at her mother’s unconscious face. She walked closer and touched her face.

Su Wan also followed her, filled with worries. "Little Ya, your mother is just sleeping. Let’s go to the living room, alright?"

She didn’t wait for Xiao Qingya to answer and directly picked her up. Unknowingly, tears started to stream down Xiao Qingya’s face again, and she let out a sob.

The muffled sob made Su Wan startled. After she arrived in the living room, she wiped Xiao Qingya’s tears again.

"Does it still hurt?" Su Wan asked. However, she had a feeling that the little one seemed to know something.

She was always so clever, possessing intelligence beyond her age.

"Where are... my brothers and sisters?" Xiao Qingya hiccuped, covering her face.

"Your brothers and sisters will be here soon..." Su Wan could only temporarily lie. How devastated Xiao Qingya would be if she were to find out her sister was missing?

She turned to her servant standing near the door and ordered softly. "Get me the medicine."

Not long after, Zhou Wenzhi returned, followed by Zhou Shuran.

Xiao Qingya instinctively turned to them, wanting to see the latest update about her sister from them.
