Chapter 139 Strange
The Fourth Elder spoke these words to Que Hongjin in a serious tone.

There was no coercion; every word was spoken from Qiao Suluo's perspective to persuade Que Hongjin.

If the Fourth Elder had said something like that before, Que Hongjin would not have listened to it at all.

But today's assassination attempt has made Que Hongjin see many things clearly.

He dared not think about what he would do if something happened to his wife. He thought he would go mad and seek revenge, and then commit suicide to be with her.

It was his fault for being useless and failing to protect her; even a small family like the Qin family could bully her.

Que Hongjin was enveloped in a chilling aura like that of millennia-old frost. Although the Qin family's matter had been resolved, a shadow still lingered in his heart.

Seeing that the young master's expression had softened, the fourth elder continued, "Young master, with Miss Qiao's abilities, she certainly won't stay in this small county town. Jinling is no ordinary place; one day she will go to a wider world. At that time, there will not only be one Qin family, but perhaps many other aristocratic families and forces will emerge."

“The young master’s strength is ultimately limited. Even if the young master protects Miss Qiao at all times, there will always be times when he is negligent.”

"Instead of that, it would be better for the young master to go back and take control of the entire Peacock Clan. At that time, with just a word from the young master, no one would dare to do anything to Miss Qiao."

"Back then, no one dared to object when the young master wanted to stay by Miss Qiao's side."

"Otherwise, if the young master goes against the family, some people might even try to deal with Miss Qiao."

Que Hongjin took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and said in a deep voice, "I understand."

Hearing this, the Fourth Elder breathed a sigh of relief, relieved that the young master had taken his words to heart.

This sentence represents the young master's attitude.

"But give me some time."

"Yes, my lord."

After speaking with the Fourth Elder, Que Hongjin went inside to find Qiao Suluo.

He didn't know how to tell her about it.

It's hard to speak.

So Que Hongjin didn't say anything for the time being, but just looked intently at Qiao Suluo.

It was as if he wanted to etch her into the depths of his soul.

Qiao Suluo naturally did not notice Que Hongjin's unusual behavior.

Now her attention is mostly on Chu Moyuan, because Chu Moyuan has been unconscious and has not woken up.

……

For the next three days, Qiao Suluo stayed by Chu Moyuan's side almost every step of the way.

Gu Songlan would come over every day to help check on Chu Moyuan's physical condition.

Qiao Suluo was very grateful to Gu Songlan, and thought that she would properly thank Young Master Gu after Chu Moyuan woke up.

During these three days, Qiao Suluo also had someone inform the owner of Nanfeng Tower that she would be unable to visit them for the next few days.

Upon hearing the news, Tu Shan Feishang's stunningly beautiful eyes changed, and her gaze instantly darkened. "She's not coming?"

The subordinate who came in to report the news could tell from those words that his master was angry.

"Miss Qiao didn't say she wasn't coming; she just said she had some family matters to attend to and couldn't make it."

Tu Shan Feishang's eyes were somewhat dark as she lazily asked, "What is it?"

"So you don't want to come to Nanfeng Tower anymore?"

"You still don't want to see me."

Realizing this, Tu Shan Feishang felt dark thoughts rising in her heart.

Some emotions are even beyond my control.

When she realized this, Tu Shan Feishang pressed her forehead hard.

When did she become so important to him, so influential on his emotions?

"If I'm not coming, I'm not coming."

"This female is naturally good at lying, and she doesn't keep her word."

Tu Shan Feishang told herself not to care, since she had lied more than once or twice, and she had a whole repertoire of ways to deceive them.

He will never believe her again.

And her promise to double the business in the building in a month and take him back was definitely a lie. However, when Nanfeng Tower reopened to guests that evening, Tu Shan Feishang overheard some discussions.

"I never expected the Qin family to have really changed so drastically."

"Yes, I heard that the Qin family head and Qin Shoufu died in a fire. The eldest son of the Qin family took over the Qin family and is now the head of the Qin family. He has already closed the underground arena today."

"Is Young Master Qin feeling better? Is he able to come out and take care of these things?"

"I heard that he met a miracle doctor who cured his illness."

"Things aren't that simple. I heard that a stunningly handsome young man in white stormed into the Qin family and killed many beastmen, claiming that the Qin family had harmed his wife."

"real or fake?"

"I don't know. We didn't see it with our own eyes, so no one knows exactly what happened. But one thing is certain: the Qin family head, Qin Shoufu, and the others are all dead. Now, the Qin family is in charge of the eldest young master Qin."

"That fire was indeed quite strange..."

After everyone finished talking about these things and moved on to other topics, they gradually started talking about the Qiao family's stall again.

"I don't know why, but no one has set up the Qiao family's stall these past few days. I still want to eat their pancakes."

"I want to eat it too. Their food is especially delicious; it's something I've never eaten before."

"Unfortunately, we don't know what happened. There's a sign outside saying that they're temporarily closed due to family matters."

"Do you think something might have happened to Boss Qiao?"

"It's...it's possible. Miss Qiao herself said that she would set up a stall every day to do business, and that they rented a place and needed to make money, so it's impossible for them to close the stall..."

Upon hearing this, Tu Shan Feishang's expression changed. Had something happened to her?

Tu Shan Feishang's heart jumped uncontrollably, and the more he thought about it, the more chaotic his mind became, making it impossible for him to calm down.

Tu Shan Feishang disregarded everything else and transformed into her true form, ascending to the rooftop and leaping rapidly in the night, following the scent to find Qiao Suluo.

Finally, they found her presence in a small house.

Tu Shan Feishang followed the scent into a room.

This is Chu Moyuan's room, and Qiao Suluo is currently guarding the bedside.

Chu Moyuan remained unconscious, so Qiao Suluo had no interest in doing anything else.

She stayed by his bedside and slept there at night, all so that she could take care of Chu Moyuan.

Bai Qianluo and Que Hongjin felt sorry for her and wanted to help, but Qiao Suluo wouldn't let them.

The main reason was that she felt she couldn't cause trouble for Que Hongjin and Bai Qianlu because of one of the beastmen or because of what she wanted to do.

They also need to get some rest.

Moreover, Que Hongjin took leave from the academy for the past three days to cook and take care of her at home.

Bai Qianluo also stayed at home to look after her.

Since she was busy with Chu Moyuan and couldn't do anything else, she lit an oil lamp by her bedside and wrote storybooks, which she would then send to Nanfeng Tower.

Just as Qiao Suluo was busy, she suddenly felt a gust of wind.

Qiao Suluo was stunned for a moment. She remembered closing the windows and doors. She got up to take a look, but suddenly saw a beautiful purple fox on the table.

"you……"

Qiao Suluo was instantly stunned.

She had never seen such a beautiful fox; its eyes shimmered with a pale purple light. One glance was enough to captivate her.

What a nice view.

But when she saw his tail behind him, she realized that two of the tails were broken off.

"Tu Shan...Tu Shan Fei Chang?"

After Tu Shan Feishang transformed into human form, she wore a bewitching purple dress, like a demon in the dark night, with three parts jade and seven parts more demonic.

He reached out and pulled her to his side, looking down at her closely and inhaling her scent.

"No injuries."
