Chapter 388
Xiao Jinting hid in his room and kept close watch on the situation.
The investigation of Ice Palace had gone too far. When Ice Palace was interrogating the cultivators of Heavenly God Sect, one of the Nascent Souls got furious and started a fight between the two sects.
After the fight started, the Deity Transformation cultivators of Sky City came out to mediate.
Ice Palace had no choice but to end all the investigation, and everything returned to normal.
Qiu Yun said happily, “Ice Palace has finally stopped fussing.”
Xiao Jinting smiled. Generally, investigation on cultivators of other sects was forbidden in Sky City. However, some people tended to challenge the rule because they were powerful and overbearing. They stopped when someone stronger came out and intervened.
“Those old men of Sky City are not doing their job. They could have come out earlier, but they delay until now,” Qiu Yun complained.
Xiao Jinting’s face darkened. Perhaps the old men of Sky City used delaying tactics because they didn’t want to offend Ice Palace, but it was more likely that they wanted to use Ice Palace to track him down. He had to be cautious.
…
Xiao Xiaodong was dumbfounded when he received the message from Xiao Jinting.
Chen Xu looked at him and asked, “What’s wrong?”
“Nothing. Everything went well with Father.”
“That’s good.”
“Xu’er, do you still remember the details of your kidnap back then?” asked Xiao Xiaodong.
Chen Xu frowned and asked, “Why do you suddenly ask about this? It’s been a long time. I didn’t remember any details when it happened, let alone now.”
“Father suspects that Luo Yuting has something to do with it.”
Chen Xu thought about it and said, “Luo Yuting? I remember now. She’s Qiao Xiang’s wife. Does she have something to do with this? It was a long time ago, there is no point investigating it. If I hadn’t been tricked, I wouldn’t have met you.”
“How can we let it go like this?” Xiao Xiaodong said sulkily.
“Why not? It has been a long time, and there is no point mentioning it again,” Chen Xu said lightly.
Xiao Xiaodong looked at Chen Xu and said, “You are too forgiving.” Xiao Xiaodong narrowed his eyes. Chen Xu didn’t want to investigate it, but he couldn’t let it go. Once he confirmed that Luo Yuting was involved in Chen Xu’s kidnap, he would make her pay for it.
…
Luo Yuting felt extremely depressed in her room. Yesterday, Qiao Xiang came back with a bracelet, which pleased her. They had not talked to each other for two days, and she thought the bracelet was a peace-making gift from him, so she wore it on her wrist.
Who would have thought that Qiao Xiang slapped her when he saw that? He accused her of taking his stuff and even called her a b*tch.
Luo Yuting was fuming, but she had to swallow her anger because she was dependent on him.
Luo Yuting saw that it was a women’s bracelet, and Qiao Xiang definitely wouldn’t wear it. It was for another woman.
Luo Yuting felt bitter in her heart. She followed Qiao Xiang to Sky City because she was afraid that Qiao Xiang would be charmed by other women. However, she realized that even if she was with him, she could do nothing but watch this happen. She thought, “Had I known that, I would never have come.” If she stayed behind, Qiao Xiang might pity her. Now she followed him everywhere, and he detested her.
Luo Yuting pursed her lips. Others would gain more or less from the trip to Sky City, but she got nothing as she was forced to stay indoors shortly after she arrived. Nangong Cheng was annoyed by her and gave her cold shoulder. In the past, when the elders picked on her, Qiao Xiang usually took her side, but now he completely sided with Nangong Cheng.
“You’re back?” Luo Yuting asked.
Qiao Xiang nodded, “Yeah!”
“The cultivators from Ice Palace have been wandering outside for several days, and now they are gone,” Luo Yuting said.
Qiao Xiang narrowed his eyes and said, “That woman called Bing Ning got the Ice Marrow Pill. The Ice Palace is determined to get the person who provided the pill.”
“Ice Palace is biting the hand that feeds it. They got the pill, and I wonder why they have to track the seller down. Perhaps they grudge the treasures that they lost. It was a long list of treasures that Ice Palace exchanged for the pill.”
Qiao Xiang rubbed his chin and said to himself, “The people from Ice Palace have been wandering in the neighborhood, which means the person who took out the pill might be staying in this tower. I wonder who is so lucky. The fifty top-grade spiritual stones alone is a big fortune.”
Luo Yuting was envious. “I wonder who sold the Ice Marrow Pill.”
Qiao Xiang narrowed his eyes and said, “The Nascent Soul Conference is about to end, and we are going back soon.”
Luo Yuting secretly let out a sigh of relief. Finally she could go back. She was sick of Sky City, which was a precious opportunity for others but a nightmare to her.
