381 Lin Shu Strikes

Xue’er tilted her head and said, “If your face can be as beautiful as your eyes, your will be the most beautiful one.”

Xu Qing was originally a little shocked and thought that Xue’er had seen through the human skin mask on Ao Jie’s face. Now, she knew that Xue’er only felt that Ao Jie had been hiding his true feelings. Children were naturally sensitive, so Xue’er felt that way when she saw Ao Jie’s duplicitous expression.

Ao Jie smiled bitterly. He had always thought that he had hidden it well, but he didn’t expect a child to see through him at a glance.

“Alright, I won’t pretend anymore!” Ao Jie pinched Xue’er’s little face and said. In the past, he lived a muddle-headed life. This time, it was time for him to shoulder his responsibilities. He had to mature.

!!
After Xu Qing sent a message to Qiao Yanhui about Ao Jie, Qiao Yanhui told them not to act rashly.

Because Xu Qing’s matter was a little troublesome, Qiao Yanhui wasn’t in the mood to deal with Zhuo Wuyou anymore. He didn’t care if he would hurt the innocent people of the enemy country. After all, this was fate. No one could do anything about it. Therefore, his tactics became even more ruthless after that, causing Zhuo Wuyou to retreat step by step.

In fact, if they had waited for more than ten years, Zhuo Wuyou would have had his own army and the war between them wouldn’t have ended so easily. The reason they had lost now was entirely that although their countries had joined forces, they didn’t trust each other at all, were suspicious of each other, and were also timid. Therefore, it was normal that they lost this war.

…

Inside Zhuo Wuyou’s tent.

Lu Yao walked in with a heavy expression. “Master, another country has withdrawn.”

“They’re all a bunch of cowards!” Zhuo Wuyou sneered.

“Master, do you want me to do something?” Lu Yao asked coldly. She wanted to assassinate those cowards.

“There’s no need. It’s time to end it.” Zhuo Wuyou looked into the distance with a deep gaze.

Lu Yao frowned slightly. What was he thinking?

Zhuo Wuyou only wanted to make an agreement with that person. He would help that person stall Qiao Yanhui, and that person would send Xu Qing over. Three months had passed, but that person didn’t bring Xu Qing over. In that case, there was no reason for him to delay Qiao Yanhui for that person.

Of course, this battle wasn’t without gains. After all, Qiao Yanhui and Xu Qing had been separated for a period of time. Therefore, just as Qiao Yanhui was about to capture them all in one fell swoop, Zhuo Wuyou stopped fighting. This made Qiao Yanhui’s expression turn solemn. What was Zhuo Wuyou thinking? After Qiao Yanhui thought about it, he couldn’t help but think of Xu Qing. However, Xu Qing had been sending him messages normally recently, so nothing had happened…

When Xu Qing received the news that Qiao Yanhui had returned victorious, she was very happy. She even had a new breakthrough in her research on Gu poison.

There was a way to cure the Gu in Ao Jie’s body. However, Xu Qing wasn’t in a hurry to find Ao Jie to try it on him. She had to wait for Qiao Yanhui to return. Otherwise, it would be troublesome if she alarmed Lin Shu.

It was unknown if it was a woman’s sixth sense or if she was worrying too much, but Lin Shu felt that something was about to happen, so she had no choice but to be cautious. She didn’t expect Bai Mu to be of any help to her. Ever since she found some babies for Bai Mu, he had disappeared, so Lin Shu could only rely on herself. She knew a lot about Gu worms.

Therefore, Lin Shu kept stimulating the Gu in Ao Jie’s body, forcing the child Gu in Ao Jie’s mind to wake up from its slumber. This gave Ao Jie an intense headache.

When Xu Qing received the news, Ao Jie couldn’t help but want to bang his head against the wall. Xu Qing couldn’t acupuncture Ao Jie in this state either. If she forcefully controlled that child Gu, it probably wouldn’t be able to withstand the pressure on both sides and would explode. Then, Ao Jie would definitely die.

“Ah! It hurts…” Ao Jie screamed in pain.

Xu Qing’s expression was solemn. Ao Jie was probably going to become Ao Jie No. 3 now. Although Ao Jie had already recovered all his memories, his personality had not been eliminated. If other personalities appeared at this time, things would be troublesome. However, at this moment, Ao Jie’s door was knocked open and Lin Shu brought a group of people over.

Lin Shu had a smug smile in her eyes. “Men, take away this b*tch who dared to seduce the emperor!”

Xu Qing’s expression darkened. “What a heavy accusation.”

Lin Shu sneered. “I’ve already tolerated you guys for a long time!”
