Chapter 4945: 5.0697 Aftermath

Because Qiaoqiao possessed excellent medical skills and offered free consultations and medicine, the villagers naturally tried their best to curry favor with her.

They even envied Sister Feng's family for being able to take Qiaoqiao in first.

Mo wanted to tell Qiaoqiao that it wasn't worth getting upset over these people.

But she just couldn't express it. After trying for a long time, she managed to utter three difficult words, which frustrated her so much that she spun around Qiao.

Qiao Mu suddenly felt like laughing. She pulled the spinning Mo to sit beside her and said softly, "I'm not angry."

She had indeed been in a slightly bad mood just now.

After all, she had lived in the small fishing village for almost a month, and Sister Feng's fear earlier had made her feel a little hurt.

But never mind. It was impossible for everyone in this world to like Qiaoqiao.

Some people would always like her, and some would always dislike her. This was a very normal phenomenon; it was best to just accept it.

She wasn't a morning glory in the sun, needing everyone to like her. There was no need for that, no need to dwell on it.

The small fishing village was like a tiny stop on her life's journey. Once past, she wouldn't return.

"Qiaoqiao, freshly roasted sweet potatoes. They're very sweet, come and try some." While she was pondering, she heard Duan Yue's voice.

She looked up and saw him, his moon-white robe floating past her.

He held a plate of roasted sweet potatoes in both hands, smiling at her with eyes curved like crescent moons. In those beautiful, shimmering peach blossom eyes, there seemed to be the light of shattering stars faintly flickering.

Eat! No matter how big the troubles, one must always look forward in life, and of course, one must eat!

"Later, we'll go to the entrance of the Sacrificial Sea Abyss and check. We'll dig three feet deep if we have to, to dig out those two troublesome guys."

"Okay." Qiao Mu gnawed on the roasted sweet potato in her hand, a sweet taste spreading in her mouth.

She was different from her mother; she definitely wasn't destined to live alone.

Even if her family ties were extremely faint and thin, Qiaoqiao had her loved one, her sect, and so many friends by her side. There was nothing Qiaoqiao couldn't face.

"Half a month ago, I traced your aura and found the remains of a ship. Then I sent people to search the sea, but I didn't find you. However, I found many people from major and minor aristocratic families."

"Your Mu family people are all safe and sound. I've already sent people to escort them back to Dragon Flame City."

Qiao Mu's slender, pale fingers moved slightly as she thought of Young Master Qin Wu, whose face was a bit pale.

When he let her leave, he had said he would take care of everything on that side.

So...

Were Mu Family's Tengyun Yunzhi and Murong Yan also released by Qin Xiu?

Qiao Mu's heart felt a mix of emotions, and she didn't know what to say.

"The Qin family... they are the masterminds behind Heavenly Fate." Qiao Mu looked up at Duan Yue, a somewhat dejected expression on her face. "Qiaoqiao was too foolish; she was always kept in the dark by them."

"Nonsense." Duan Yue peeled another sweet potato for her, offering it to the little stoic-face.

"They hid themselves so well; no one ever discovered them. How could you alone be kept in the dark?"

Everyone was deceived; that's the terrifying thing about these Qin family members.

"Now that I've uncovered their identities, do you think they'll return to Dragon Flame City?"

Duan Yue nodded. "They certainly won't live in the Qin Manor in Dragon Flame City anymore. They'll probably move to a hidden location and continue to lurk."

"Lurking in Dragon Flame City, they can gather a lot of information. Not all of their people should withdraw."

Qiao Mu thought about it and agreed.
