Chapter 1803: Chapter 1801: Escape
The dark night seemed especially eerie, coupled with the floating flame hovering in mid-air.
If anyone were to pass by at this moment, if they don’t get scared unconscious, it would be worth praising their courage.
Fortunately, on this cold midnight, there really wasn’t anyone walking around outside, after all, it’s winter.
So it was extremely quiet here.
With Xiao Bai and the White Wolf blocking this space, the flame that tried to drift into the courtyard was stopped, no one knew what it wanted to do, but it certainly wasn’t anything good.
So at this point, the flame naturally couldn’t get in.
It hovered in mid-air, seemingly hesitating, as if waiting for someone’s command.
Then at that moment, the flame seemed to receive an order, and suddenly transformed into a red light, disappearing in front of Xiao Bai and the White Wolf.
Xiao Bai leaped down from the wall with a swift motion.
The White Wolf followed.
The two white shadows, as fast as light, chased the red light forward.
But unfortunately, when they rounded a corner, the red light disappeared.
Xiao Bai and the White Wolf spun around several times on the spot, and after checking the surroundings and finding nothing unusual, they returned to the Qin Family’s Courtyard, once again scaling the wall to enter.
When they returned to the bedroom, Qin Yize was still asleep, but Gu Qiaoqiao opened her eyes.
Feeling the chill from Xiao Bai and the White Wolf, she asked Xiao Bai in her mind, "What were you two up to?"
"There was a red flame outside our courtyard, it seemed to want to come in, but after seeing us come out, it ran away, and we couldn’t find who it belonged to."
"A red flame, are you sure you didn’t see it wrong?" Gu Qiaoqiao asked in surprise.
"How could we see it wrong?"
"Was there a shape to it? Like a phoenix perhaps?"
"No shape, just a big fireball."
Gu Qiaoqiao fell into deep thought, and after a while, she said to Xiao Bai in her mind, "I suspect it’s that woman, Liu Ling."
Xiao Bai let out a little cry, "That’s right, at the end of last year, I already felt something was off about that woman, turns out it was her."
"You two have worked hard, go rest, don’t worry, she won’t dare do anything for now."
The Qin Family’s Courtyard, though not impenetrable, is almost as good as.
The barrier here was personally set up by Gu Junbai.
Even if Xiao Bai and the White Wolf hadn’t gone out, the flame wouldn’t have been able to come in.
But it’s still necessary to be on guard, after all, the human heart is unpredictable.
Especially with people like Liu Ling, whose sense of right and wrong is blurred.
People are ultimately different from one another.
For certain people, the concept of empathy doesn’t exist.
Because that type of person always believes they are right.
"Gu Qiaoqiao, aren’t you going to confront that woman? What is she snooping around someone else’s courtyard for no reason? People like that are either up to no good or thieves. If you don’t warn her, she might think you don’t know anything."
Gu Qiaoqiao sighed, "It’s not like it used to be, sometimes we can’t just settle enmities easily, we have to consider everything from all angles. Besides, we don’t have any evidence, going over rashly, Liu Ling isn’t an ordinary person. She’s sure to retaliate, and we might end up being framed by her, which would be a real loss."
"People of the Mystic Sect nowadays have become more disorganized and long-winded in handling matters."
Xiao Bai said disdainfully.
"In fact, it was the same before, you just didn’t notice. Even though they are from the Mystic Sect, aren’t they also stemming from ordinary people? Human nature doesn’t just disappear."
"Alright, I got it."
After saying this, Xiao Bai stopped communicating with Gu Qiaoqiao in her mind and instead laid on the soft carpet, comfortably rolling around a few times.
Gu Qiaoqiao wasn’t worried; she felt reassured, as the barrier of the Qin Family’s Courtyard was set up by the master herself.
In Xiao Bai’s eyes, the most powerful ones in the Mystic Sect now are Gu Junbai and Yun Luo.
Followed by Gu Qiaoqiao and Chu Chengfeng.
Oh, and Dongfang Yu.
Because of Shang Qing, Dongfang Yu had a great opportunity and was cured by Gu Qiaoqiao of his cold affliction, his cultivation now at a similar level to Gu Qiaoqiao’s.
But there’s no need to worry about him, as he has sworn on his life.
As for Liu Ling, Xiao Bai didn’t really care much.
Her skills are not even a match for the White Wolf’s paw.
But what Gu Qiaoqiao said is also correct, one should be extra cautious about people like Liu Ling.
Xiao Bai sighed, feeling as if ever since Gu Qiaoqiao gave birth to Xiao Bao and Xiao Bei, its own responsibilities seemed to have increased.
Oh dear, what exactly is it worrying about?
With a dismissive smirk, Xiao Bai stopped thinking about all these matters, quickly drifting off to sleep.
Meanwhile, behind a house more than 1000 meters away from the Qin Family’s Courtyard, Liu Ling finally managed to retract her Spiritual Fire.
To avoid being recognized, she even changed her Phoenix-shaped flame into a fireball.
Even so, today’s attempt still wasn’t successful, she couldn’t even get into the Qin Family Courtyard.
If she wasn’t mistaken, the Qin Family Courtyard had been set up with quite a formidable barrier, even she couldn’t get in.
It was strange though, why hadn’t she sensed it when she visited the Qin Family Courtyard last year?
Could it have been set up recently?
Liu Ling’s face was filled with resentment as she wiped the sweat from her forehead and sped towards her apartment in her car.
After all, being someone from the Mystic Sect, learning to drive was a breeze, and with Chu Chengfeng, she easily got a driver’s license.
This car was brought for her by Chu Chengfeng this morning.
While he didn’t apologize directly, it indirectly expressed his remorse.
Given this, Liu Ling thought it wise not to hold onto the issue from yesterday.
Yet, Liu Ling couldn’t let it go; she believed all these troubles were stirred up by Sima Xiaowen and Gu Qiaoqiao.
She hadn’t intended to harm them today, it was merely a reconnaissance.
She truly didn’t expect the Qin Family Courtyard to be so heavily guarded.
But even the tightest of nets has loopholes; she’ll find an opportunity.
After the fifteenth, many matters should be resolved.
Under the night sky, although there were cars on the streets, it was past midnight, so Liu Ling drove faster, running a succession of red lights. She nearly collided with other vehicles at one point.
But being cultivated, she handled it with ease.
Yet even so, two cars crashed into a roadside pole.
Liu Ling gave a cold smile, feeling the anger in her heart had subsided somewhat.
She then slowed down and continued driving forward.
On the morning of the third day, after breakfast, Sima Xiaowen brought Gu Qianqian to play at the Qin Family’s Courtyard.
Yun Luo also came along with them.
