Chapter 369 - 369 Qiao Yanhui Is Back



369 Qiao Yanhui Is Back

This kind of Gu poison, which could withstand an army, was also called the Gu King and could control all Gu worms. It was extremely difficult to nurture the Gu King, and it was rare to see even once in a hundred years. It was filtered through layers of battles between combined-level Gu worms. The Gu worm that survived till the end also needed to be nurtured with blood essence. It could only use the blood essence of one person in its life. If it was successfully nurtured, the Gu King would become a terrifying existence. Of course, if it couldn’t be nurtured, it would die from exhaustion. Therefore, many people died halfway through the process.

She had heard that the Lin family was nurturing a Gu King. As for whether they succeeded or not, Xu Qing felt that they didn’t. Otherwise, Lin Shu wouldn’t be in this situation. Thinking of this, Xu Qing couldn’t help but sigh. The future outcome was unpredictable, and the Lin family was an important variable.

...

However, Xu Qing suddenly remembered what the man said last night. He seemed to have associated her with someone else. Was that why he didn’t kill her? Who was it? She felt that it wasn’t Ying Zhiyao… Xu Qing couldn’t think of anyone, so she stopped thinking about it. According to her judgment, that man would appear again, and what she had to do was guard against him.

Xu Qing didn’t tell Qiao Yanhui about what happened, since she didn’t want Qiao Yanhui to be distracted on the battlefield, but Qiao Yanhui still found out.

Two days later, Xu Qing was stunned by the sight of a familiar figure as soon as she woke up.

“Qiao Yanhui?” Xu Qing was dumbfounded.

“Are you injured?” Qiao Yanhui checked Xu Qing nervously and heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that she was fine. However, his handsome face was filled with anger.

“Why didn’t you tell me?” Qiao Yanhui questioned.

From his nervous expression, Xu Qing was finally certain that she wasn’t hallucinating and Qiao Yanhui was really back. “Why are you back?”

“Don’t change the topic. When I found out about this, I was so nervous that my heart was about to jump out of my chest. You don’t know how worried I was about you!” Qiao Yanhui pursed his lips, his expression cold.

Xu Qing lowered her head guiltily. “I was afraid that you would be distracted.”

Qiao Yanhui hugged Xu Qing and said with a quivering voice, “But I’m more worried about you.”

Xu Qing wrapped her arms around Qiao Yanhui’s waist as she said with heartache, “I’m sorry.”

Qiao Yanhui replied gloomily.

“Father? You’re back?” Suddenly, a surprised cry sounded in their ears.

Xu Qing blushed. She had forgotten that she was sleeping with the two children.

“Have you been obedient these past few days, Xue’er?” Qiao Yanhui let go of Xu Qing and picked Xue’er up with a smile.

“Yes, I’ve been very obedient.” Xue’er replied with a smile.

Qiao Yanhui looked at Ting’er, who was looking at him, and patted his second son’s little head as he praised. “You’ve been training hard these past few days.”

Ting’er immediately smiled.

“Father, where’s our brother?” Xue’er looked out of the door curiously.

“Your brother didn’t come back. Only I came back.” Qiao Yanhui placed Xue’er back on the bed.

Ting’er knew that Qiao Yanhui came back midway because he was worried about them.

“You must be tired after rushing back. Rest first,” Xu Qing said with heartache as she looked at Qiao Yanhui’s tired countenance. It had only been two days since the incident happened, but Qiao Yanhui appeared in front of her so soon. He definitely hadn’t rested along the way.

“There’s no need. I’ll go see Ao Jie first.” Qiao Yanhui shook his head. He didn’t feel tired yet.

“Alright.” Xu Qing nodded.

There had been many things going on recently. There were all sorts of internal and external problems, so at this moment, Ao Jie was spread pretty thin.

“You’re fretting over such a small matter?” Qiao Yanhui’s mocking voice entered Ao Jie’s ears.

“I’m hallucinating? I must be too tired…” Ao Jie looked up in surprise, but he didn’t see anyone. Then, he lowered his eyes in disappointment.

Qiao Yanhui’s expression darkened as he barged in.

Sensing Qiao Yanhui’s anger, Ao Jie realized that the person in front of him wasn’t a hallucination, but the brother he had been missing. “It’s really you!” Ao Jie shouted in surprise, like how Xue’er and Ting’er had reacted when they saw him just now.

Qiao Yanhui was speechless and felt the urge to smack Ao Jie. How could such a fool be the ruler of a country? How could he be worthy of being his younger brother?

Unaware of Qiao Yanhui’s thoughts, Ao Jie walked around the desk to Qiao Yanhui. “Why are you back? Could it be that you’ve won? As expected of a War God. The enemy was scared away before you even attacked… Wait, that’s not right. Then why haven’t I received the news?” Ao Jie muttered to himself.

“Shut up.” Qiao Yanhui couldn’t take it anymore. His brother was too stupid. He really wanted to cut ties with him.
