C218 Qu Qiu's Senior Brother

Xiao Jingyue returned to his General Mansion, and after hearing Xiao San's report, his eyes dimmed.

Shortly after, he said, "Leave her be. You have something else to do for me."

Xiao San walked over to Xiao Jingyue, bowed his head slightly, and whispered a few sentences into his ear.

After Xiao San left, he suddenly turned to look at the wall and said coldly: "Come out."

"Hey!" A voice came from the other end of the wall.

Immediately after, a figure flew over and stopped in front of Xiao Jingyue.

Godly Doctor Gu thought that he had become more handsome today, so he changed into a new set of clothes and asked: "Did you feel that Master has become more handsome today?"

Xiao Jingyue pretended not to hear, and asked expressionlessly: "What is Master going to do?"

Godly Doctor Gu's straight back drooped as he laughed vulgarly and rubbed his hands together, "I have nothing to do, let's go for a walk on the streets."

He paused for a moment. Noticing that his precious disciple was in a bad mood, he asked affectionately, "Did something happen with that expression of yours?"

Xiao Jingyue acknowledged, "This general only found out yesterday that the Godly Doctor Gu had saved the Queen's life."

Sometimes master and sometimes Godly Doctor Gu, Godly Doctor Gu was also a little unsure of his precious disciple's thoughts.

Godly Doctor Gu pulled on his new clothes and nonchalantly said: "These are all matters of the past, there's no need to bring it up."

However, Xiao Jingyue laughed bitterly and said hoarsely: "Master, disciple has always respected you.

Godly Doctor Gu's heart thumped for a moment. He looked at Xiao Jingyue and became speechless for a moment.

He had heard about what happened in the palace last night. The reason he didn't mention it was because he didn't want his disciple to be embarrassed.

However, it seemed that doing such a thing wasn't quite right.

Xiao Jingyue no longer paid any attention to him, and brought along a lonely set of clothes as he walked towards the direction of the study.

Qu Ci, who had just returned from the outside, heard the guard say that Xiao Jingyue had not eaten lunch nor dinner.

After a moment of hesitation, he personally carried the dishes to the study room.

Other people would definitely not see Xiao Jingyue, but because of Qu Ling and Qu Qiu, he absolutely did not dare to refuse them.

Qu Ci placed the meal in front of Xiao Jingyue, and said indifferently: "General is already quite old, you can't let me, an old granny, coax you to eat."

Xiao Jingyue looked at her, picked up his chopsticks and started to eat slowly.

Qu Ci sat in front of him and casually drank his tea.

For a time, no one spoke. The study room was quiet.

Not long after, Xiao Jingyue put down his chopsticks and asked softly: "Does Grandma hate me?"

Qu Ci was startled. He put down the teacup, looked at Xiao Jingyue with a smile that was not a smile, and asked: "So what if I hate him, so what if I don't hate him?"

Xiao Jingyue did not utter a word.

Qu Ci sighed lightly, and said: "If I continue to hate you, my A'Qiu won't be able to return either."

Xiao Jingyue said in a low voice, "I'm sorry."

Qu Ci shook his head, "There's no need to apologize to me, as long as you treat Ah Ling well, you will be sorry to A Qiu."

In the past few days, she had also thought it through. It was not wrong that her daughter had died for Xiao Jingyue's sake.

The real culprits were that woman and the Emperor.

However, that woman was also dead. The only person she could still hate now was the dog-emperor.

Qu Ci looked up at Xiao Jingyue, and said with a sneer: "I have heard about the matters of the palace too, what are General Xiao's plans?"

Xiao Jingyue shook his head, he did not reply immediately, and only said: "Grandma, can you tell me about the parasite in my body?"

Although Prime Minister Jiang knew that Qu Qiu had died because of Xiao Jingyue, he didn't know how.

Rather than saying that Xiao Jingyue was asking about the parasite, it would be more accurate to say that it was asking about Qu Qiu's death.

There were some things that he had made up his mind to find out.

Presumably, his wife also wanted to know the specific reason.

"At that time, Mu almost died on the battlefield. That silly girl A Qiu went to find her senior brother and worked on this kind of Gu Worm with him. She thought that if there were to be an accident in the future, she could save Shimu's life."

Saying that, Qu Ci looked at Xiao Jingyue, "Who would have known that when the Gu was unable to save, it became a talisman for the husband and wife."

Xiao Jingyue was startled, "Senior brother?"

Qu Ci nodded his head, "Before Qu Qiu left the Miao Boundary to travel, she acknowledged Jade Toad as her master. She has a senior brother called Wen Xiao."

Almost subconsciously, Xiao Jingyue thought of the owner of the cave in Huai He, the man whom the villagers had called "Mister Wen".

"Wen Xiao has always been engrossed in studying Gu arts. He is a genius in this area." Qu Ci seemed to have thought of something, as he sighed, "The Soul Borrowing Gu that has been causing an uproar today is the one that failed when he was researching the Soul Sealing Parasite with A Qiu. The only one that succeeded in cultivating it was this Gu Worm in your body."

Back then, Qu Qiu was whimsical and wanted the Soul Sealing Parasite to work with the man, so he found Wen Xiao and asked him to help him think of a way to change the special nature of the Soul Sealing Parasite.

Who knew that the "Soul Sealing Parasite" that he used on the man was researched and produced a bunch of evil Soul Borrowing Gu.

Moreover, the mutated "Soul Sealing Parasite" was not as miraculous as they had imagined.

Ordinary Soul Locking Gu, when used on a woman, could have the effect of qi dying and reviving.

The mutated "Soul Sealing Parasite" extracted life force from the breeder in exchange for a new student who had been saved.

It was precisely because he used the mutated "Soul Sealing Parasite" to save Xiao Jingyue that when Qu Qiu returned to the Miao Boundary, her hair would be white as a sheet.

When Qu Ci spoke to here, his eyes quietly reddened, and he said hoarsely: "Back then, when I heard the news about rushing to Zhai Jing, it was already too late. If not for the fact that Mu had secretly learned the forbidden Miao Boundary technique earlier and used twenty years of his life in time to exchange for A Qiu's two years of lifespan, A Qiu probably wouldn't have been able to return even his Miao Boundary."

The couple's relationship was deep, and they had unconsciously planned for each other. However, in the end, they had neglected their young daughter.

This caused Qu Ling, who was still young, to lose both his mother and father.

At night, in a certain house in the capital.

Gray also knelt in front of a middle-aged man and said softly, "Master, your subordinate has investigated thoroughly. At the Empress's birthday banquet, a group of assassins dressed in black appeared and revealed Xiao Jingyue's identity. Right now, all of the imperial court are discussing about Xiao Jingyue's background, and the Eastern Palace and Minister of War Manor are also discussing how to deal with Xiao Jingyue. "

The middle-aged man frowned and asked, "Do you know the identities of those assassins?"

Gray shook his head, "This subordinate does not know. However, many people in the court speculated that those assassins were the emperor's men. It's been rumored that the emperor had originally promised Xiao Jingyue that after the Queen's birthday, he would be allowed to return with Qu Ling to the Southern Guarding Prince Palace. Presumably, the dog-emperor didn't even want Xiao Jingyue to leave the capital, so he came up with such a plan. "

The middle-aged man sneered. "This seems like something the Emperor can do."

Gray nodded and asked, "Now that the Kingdom of Qi has begun to ban Soul Borrowing Gu, do we have to temporarily hide our people?"

"Sure." The middle-aged man paused for a moment. Then, he suddenly thought of something and asked, "Where are Yu'er and Xi'er now?"

Gray's eyes flashed with a cold glint, "This subordinate does not know, please forgive me, my lord."

The middle-aged man waved his hand and walked out. "Go and find them. At the latest, next time, this sovereign will see them."

Gray also nodded. "Yes."

The middle-aged man walked out of the main hall, his figure flickered, then rushed out of the house straight towards South Wind House on the west side of the street.
