Chapter 627: Quan Jue Looks Cold, But He’s Very Considerate
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
There were many terrifying legends about the s.h.i.+ Ma Tribe. Chi Jiao felt that one couldn’t finish reading about all of them even if they took all day and night.
She now understood why Beitang Lie’s expression was so strange.
He was probably frightened by the village’s cruelty.
After closing the doc.u.ment folder, Chi Jiao looked at Beitang Lie. “Arrange for the train tickets and other necessary items. We’ll set off for Feng Tong Village tomorrow.”
Since this totem was from She Qi’s diary, Feng Tong Village must be somehow connected to him.
As a result, she had to personally make a trip down.
Beitang Lie knew that Chi Jiao would definitely go and investigate. The Soul Stone had yet to be retrieved, and a heaven-defying fellow was wandering free on the outside world. Going by Chi Jiao’s character, she would definitely not let go of this clue. She would investigate this thoroughly.
However, Beitang Lie felt that Feng Tong village was the perfect setting for a horror movie. He instinctively wanted to object.
“How many people did you send to search for She Qi?” Chi Jiao suddenly changed the topic.
“I sent out all my subordinates who are currently free and even issued a National-Wide Wanted Criminal arrest warrant. The police will also a.s.sist us. Now, She Qi is an SSS-rank wanted criminal,” Beitang Lie said.
Chi Jiao narrowed her eyes. “The fact that he dared to appear in public the day before proves that he’s no longer afraid of exposing himself. He’s very confident that he can escape our capture attempts.”
Actually, on second thought, She Qi had no reason to appear yesterday.
Then, why did he so boldly make an appearance?
Apart from challenging the police and 117’s authority, Chi Jiao couldn’t think of any other reason.
Moreover, during the battle with She Qi the previous day, Chi Jiao had also sensed that this person was extremely arrogant and conceited.
Beitang Lie nodded.
“Did you borrow that Qilin Jade from the Mo Family?” Chi Jiao asked him.
“I did. I sent it to the Shang Jing headquarters for a.n.a.lysis,” Beitang Lie replied.
There was nothing special about that stone when viewed with the naked eye. They also examined it with a magnetic device, and there was nothing special about it.
Therefore, he had to send it to Shang Jing where they could use special methods to a.n.a.lyze it.
Daytime pa.s.sed.
At night.
At Green Bird Restaurant.
Chi Jiao and Quan Jue sat together, while Lu Xian sat opposite them.
“Jiaojiao, you’re really too skinny. Come, eat more.” Lu Xian kept piling food onto Chi Jiao’s bowl.
Chi Jiao’s small bowl was already piled up like a small mountain.
“Auntie, I can do it myself. You eat too,” she said with a smile.
Quan Jue glanced at the food in Chi Jiao’s bowl and realized that there were a few items that she usually didn’t like. Using his chopsticks, he picked out all the dishes that she didn’t like and placed them in his own bowl.
“Little Jue, I gave those to Jiaojiao. If you want to eat those dishes, can’t you help yourself?” Lu Xian looked at him unhappily.
“I’m just picking out items that Jiaojiao doesn’t like,” Quan Jue said indifferently.
Chi Jiao glanced at him and her lips curled up.
Quan Jue looked cold, but he was actually very considerate.
He always showed regard for her feelings in all aspects. She was able to be her most true self when she was with him.
When Lu Xian heard Quan Jue’s words, she slapped her forehead. “Look at me, I didn’t even think about what Jiaojiao likes or doesn’t like to eat. Jiaojiao, just help yourself to whatever you like. Don’t stand on ceremony.”
Seeing that Lu Xian had finally picked up a piece of broccoli to eat, Chi Jiao also picked up a piece and placed it on the plate in front of her. “Auntie, you don’t have to give me food anymore. You eat more, too.”
“Alright,” Lu Xian said with a smile. She glanced at Quan Jue proudly.
So there, Jiaojiao had put food on her plate!
