Feng Qi was shocked by this and her eyes became dazed.
No wonder Gong referred to Yu Xiu as the "Old Dragon Lady," he had suffered a harsh blow in the past when he tried to smooth things over with her. His efforts resulted in a resounding slap that knocked him back. My brow was furrowed tightly.
This is clearly a misunderstanding. If Xiaoqi receives this slap, she may become even more angry.
However, ..., Xiaoqi's temperament is too capricious and selfish. She often slaps me without warning.
Once or twice is okay, but there will always be a time for things to calm down.
But if it happens repeatedly, it can become a habit.
Is this a lesson for Yu Xiu?
As for Yu Xiu, she was sitting on the hospital bed, and just happened to be perched on my lap, with her hands wrapped around her knees, staring at Xiaoqi with a vacant expression.
"Unfaithful couple... you...," Xiaoqi seemed to have regained some clarity, her eyes reddened, and tears were about to well up.
However, she was cut off mid-sentence by a loud scream, followed by a sudden lift of her leg and a swift kick.
Old Gong let out a cries of pain, then was kicked away by Xiaoqi. He crashed into the wall with a thud…
Disgusting!
Xiaoqi got up from the ground, angry to the point of her limbs trembling.
"All right, Xiaoqi, it was just a misunderstanding."
I spoke in a low voice.
The words "unfaithful couple" are really annoying.
"Misunderstanding? I will avenge my sister for you. This woman dared to slap me, now she is on your bed, and you still say it's a misunderstanding!? " Xiaoqi's voice grew louder as she stomped over to the bed and made as if to strike again.
Yu Xiu slightly lifted her body, as if to strike again with her hand.
Xiaoqi shuddered in fear, retreated two steps, covering her face with her hands, expressing only indignation but dared not approach.
My furrowed brow became more and more tangled.
First, I ordered Yu Xiu to get off the bed.
Yu Xiu nodded and got off the bed, standing by my side, her eyes still vacant.
I also got off the bed and said, "Come over here."
Xiaoqi pursed her lips, looked at me angrily, but did not move closer.
"Come here." My furrowed brow tightened, and I shouted again, slightly raising my tone.
Xiaoqi bit her lip again and muttered in a low voice, "Come over, already. Who talks to a girl like that so loudly…"
She walked cautiously to my side, watching Yu Xiu with a worried expression.
I reached out and grabbed Xiaoqi's wrist.
Xiaoqi let out an "Ah!" before she had time to react, and I pulled her in front of Yu Xiu.
originally, Xiaoqi was going to struggle.
I exerted more strength, and she gave a painful whimper, giving up the struggle.
At this moment, Xiaoqi realized that something was off with Yu Xiu and looked at her in extreme confusion.
"She is a friend of Xiaoqing," I said in a calm tone, fully expressing my dissatisfaction with Xiaoqi's behavior just now.
I also said, "Yu Xiu has also helped me and Xiaoqing a lot. This time she saved my life, but her soul is somewhat incomplete and she can't understand what you're saying. You've offended her, and if Xiaoqing finds out, she won't be happy."
Yu Xiu's eyes remained vacant, showing no reaction.
"Ah?" Xiaoqi's eyes showed panic, as if she was at a loss.
"You're too capricious and won't take time to think things through. Follow Tang Shu, ensuring your safety. When Xiaoqing is fine, I'll bring her to find you." I said again.
"I..."
Xiaoqi looked particularly sad as she pouted her lower lip.
Her big eyes fluttered twice, and her tears splashed down again.
The spoiled and proud miss from a moment ago had now become a young girl with tears in her eyes, like plum blossoms sprinkled with rain.
"Aiyaya... Aiyaya..."
Old Gong was obviously not buying into this.
Even though he had been slapped earlier, now standing in the corner, he looked incredibly concerned.
"Oh my, the significance of the lady is huge. With her here, it will be easier to find Xiaoqing."
Old Gong wobbled up to my waist.
Xiaoqi, who had looked so pitifully upset before, suddenly lit up with happiness.
She grabbed my wrist and shook it forcefully twice: "Brother-in-law, look! Old Gong said I'm useful! I'm sorry, please don't kick me out…"
To be honest, Xiaoqi's voice suddenly became soft and sweet, making me shiver all over.
Especially, the fact that she called me "brother-in-law"... it caught me off guard...
"I can't anymore... Lord, my heart... oh, where is my heart?"
Old Gong's eyes lost focus and he became much dazed. His mouth only mumbled, it was my heart…
That's how Old Gong used to be.
For some reason, whenever he mentioned something that used to be on him but isn't anymore, he would become dull and lifeless.
"Brother-in-law... please..."
Xiaoqi's tone was almost like... no, this is definitely coquetry.
I suddenly broke free from her hand and retreated two or three steps.
Yu Xiu didn't react to this.
Xiaoqi stood there with her hands intertwined and her index fingers constantly making circles.
"If you don't take me, I'll follow you secretly."
"Old Gong said I'm useful, right Old Gong?"
Xiaoqi looked at the dazed and lifeless Old Gong on the urinal.
Old Gong's eyes didn't recover, but his mouth twitched dryly, "Ah" twice.
Me: "..."
However, thinking of something else.
Old Gong, although not in tune with women, has indeed not said anything wrong.
Xiaoqi's ability to find the hospital and then go to the foot of the mountain where the supervisory venue is located proves that her skill in martial arts is indeed strong.
At this point, Old Gong's condition is unpredictable and prone to sudden changes. With the limitation of the Yang Spirit and the ghost, carrying Xiaoqi can indeed be a plus.
There is another point, Xiaoqi can really pull it off, but she is indeed prone to causing trouble.
What if something happens to her, and I can't explain it to Xiaoqing.
Thinking about it, I nodded.
Xiaoqi immediately broke into a bright smile.
She went forward and wanted to hug my arm.
I retreated two steps more and raised my hand to make a prohibiting gesture.
My eyelid twitched slightly, and I hadn't spoken yet.
Xiaoqi giggled and said, "Okay, brother-in-law, just teasing you. I know you're worried about causing Xiaoqing to be upset."
Actually, I wanted to correct Xiaoqi and tell her not to call me "brother-in-law", as it sounds a bit awkward and strange to me.
But Xiaoqi's temperament is such that if I did this, she might get carried away with some wild imagination again. So, I decided to just leave it be.
"Let's not stay at the hospital for now. There are some things I need you to go with me to the City God Temple," I said in a low voice, getting to the point.
"City God Temple!?" Xiaoqi's eyes brightened.
"That's right, there's an Uncle Huang's City God Temple, right? Sister told me about it before, and Uncle Huang is a very good elderly man." Xiaoqi's eyes were filled with joy.
But I remained silent.
Uncle Huang's character, as far as I can see, is indeed not a big problem.
He has shown bias in regards to Xiaoqing's fate.
I also thought of a question.
If, after the fact, I ask Uncle Huang to help save Xiaoqing.
What would he do?
The leader has gone through many things and has explicitly stated his position, but Uncle Huang has not acted accordingly.
I cannot ask or force Uncle Huang to express his position.
"Once you meet Uncle Huang, don't say much or ask many questions. If he asks about your sister, just say she's at home." I exhaled a mouthful of murky air before giving Xiaoqi the instruction.
"Oh..." Xiaoqi looked puzzled.
I walked towards the hospital exit.
Whether or not to involve the City God Temple in saving Xiaoqing is still up for debate.
However, taking advantage of the situation to help the City God Temple deal with the Ninth Elder is also something that needs to be done urgently.
The woman without a head in the soul-sealing needle must not be exploited by the Ninth Elder!
She may be part of Qi Youyou's soul, but she is completely different. She would risk her life for me!
