Chapter 255 Our Family's Rise and Fall
Chapter 255 Our Family's Rise and Fall
"But this male fox doesn't look very smart and kind, how could he lie to people?"
"No, I have to ask for clarification!" Originally, I still regarded Li Yuqi as the candidate for Hongluan Star! Now, after hearing this news, it would be a lie for Qin Baiqing to say that she didn't feel sorry. She wanted to see with her own eyes what was going on.
How come the first potential love blossom turns out to be a bad one?
She stood up and urged Feng Budu: "We will go to the Phoenix Clan and ask Princess Qingming for clarification now."
"No need. The information just now has already explained a lot of problems."
He pulled back Qin Baiqing who was about to fly out and said, "Princess Qingming has been favored since she was young. She thought she could get everything, but she was frustrated in her marriage and was hit mercilessly by the Phoenix Emperor. It is normal for her to have some rebellious psychology."
According to what Situ Fusheng said just now, before the marriage, Princess Qingming had everything going smoothly. She was pampered by the Phoenix Emperor and the entire Phoenix clan, which made her develop a proud and arrogant character.
However, the Emperor Feng interfered with her engagement so much. Given her proud and willful personality, it was not uncommon for her to do something extreme...
"You mean," Qin Baiqing paused, and said incredulously, "Princess Qingming wanted to take revenge on Emperor Feng, and she herself became the traitor, contacted the Dragon King, and injured Emperor Feng?"
In Qin Baiqing's eyes, this was simply unbelievable.
Just imagine mother or father... No, even if it was Feng Budu, he would not fight with them just because of a mere Hongluanxing who just showed up and he was not familiar with him.
At most I can escape once more, she thought silently.
"Well, this is the most reasonable explanation at the moment." Even Situ Fusheng nodded seriously, closed his folding fan and supported his head, leaning back in the chair without any image and continuing to listen to Feng Budu's analysis.
"Her cultivation is far inferior to that of the Dragon King. If she wants to continue the cooperation, she will have to sacrifice more."
“So after initially using the dragon clan’s means of controlling pollution to retaliate against the Phoenix Emperor, she was unable to escape, and has been entangled by the dragon clan ever since. She could only keep selling out more inside information she knew, including the fact that I have the scroll and am collecting materials.” In other words, there was no so-called rebellion by the senior elders, only Princess Qingming directed and acted in a play herself.
"However," Qin Baiqing subconsciously followed the thought and said puzzledly: "But after we ran away, the Dragon King did not continue to pursue us. It is obvious that he did not know about the materials in your hand."
"It seems that the cooperation is not deep yet, and there is not much news of betrayal."
Qingming has not yet been forced to sell out the materials he has.
"Hmm... wonderful, wonderful," Situ Fusheng applauded from the side. He was amazed and praised, "You are so smart and meticulous. Are you interested in working for me?"
"No need to work, just use it to offset my recent consumption." Feng Budu smiled slightly.
Then, under the complicated look in Situ Fusheng's eyes that seemed to make him want to slap himself for speaking too much, he directly took out the communication talisman from Emperor Feng, and told the emperor everything about Princess Qingming's possible leak of the secret, leaving it to Emperor Feng to deal with it.
"Then shall we..." Qin Baiqing paused and asked expectantly, "Go to Qingqiu?"
It's the same if you go to Qingqiu to find Li Yuqi and ask him clearly.
Besides, I was originally going to Qingqiu, and now after going around in circles, I ended up going there again.
Seeing that Feng Budu had no intention of leaving, she shook his hand and said eagerly, "The Red Luan Star has moved, you know, I want to go see if it's him."
Feng Budu's dissatisfaction could almost be seen in his sinister gaze.
But even if he disagreed, he knew that Qin Baiqing would always find a way to go by herself, so he had no choice but to follow her, exuding discrimination against male vixens.
"You two must be careful when you go to Qingqiu." Situ Fusheng finally received the information. He counted the spirit stones happily, and gave a warning with a smile: "Don't trust foxes easily, even if they are harmless and stupid, don't be fooled."
After saying this, he waved happily and said goodbye to the two generous bosses with tears in his eyes.
Qingqiu remains the same.
The Fox Emperor was elusive and no one knew where he was, but it was as if someone came to welcome Qin Baiqing's arrival. The moment she set foot in Qingqiu, a guiding butterfly appeared out of thin air, flapped its wings twice in front of Qin Baiqing, and led the two of them into the depths of Qingqiu.
The deeper we walked, the cleaner the air around us became, almost to the source. The surging vitality of the giant trees all gathered here, and the path became more and more familiar.
This is a place I have been here several times before. It is deep in Qingqiu where Jiuxing cultivated himself!
Qin Baiqing was somewhat surprised, especially when she saw Li Jiuxing standing in front of her alive. She completely forgot about Li Yuqi and looked at the refreshed Li Jiuxing in surprise.
"I knew you would come to see me!" When Li Jiuxing opened his eyes, he saw a face that seemed to have appeared in his dream.
The little junior sister in the illusion a few years ago overlapped with Qin Baiqing, so Li Jiuxing also found a familiar feeling and swore: "Since you came to see me, you must like me too. I want to marry you!"
"?"
"Is there another Red Luan Star?" Qin Baiqing blinked blankly.
She tilted her head, not knowing if two could appear. After pondering for a moment without any result, she simply asked Feng Budu: "Is it possible?"
"No." He whispered without thinking.
Then he raised his head and looked at Li Jiuxing from top to bottom with a scrutinizing gaze, which made Li Jiuxing feel creepy. He sneered and said, "You plan to ask for marriage like this? How can you be so confident?"
The tone was contemptuous and the eyes were disdainful.
"You said I'm not worthy of her?" Li Jiuxing laughed in anger. He took a step forward and sneered, "Someone, throw this rude man out. I don't want to see him!"
The fox guards moved in response, and the atmosphere around Feng Budu instantly became tense and stagnant. Being in it, he felt an oppressive feeling as if he was being targeted by the entire Qingqiu.
"Why are you still arguing?" Qin Baiqing hurriedly interrupted the two people who were confronting each other and stood between them.
She patted her forehead helplessly, then remembered the important matter, so she simply put the matter in front of her into a corner for the time being, and asked seriously: "We came here to ask about Li Yuqi and Princess Qingming. I heard that their lovers could not end up together. Is it true?"
When talking about gossip, Qin Baiqing's eyes lit up obviously.
But who would have thought that Li Jiuxing was quite indifferent. He shrugged casually and said indifferently: "It seems so. The relationships of people in our family are not going well. There's nothing we can do about it." It seemed as if he was used to it.
Then he realized something and assured Qin Baiqing in a serious tone: "But if I marry you, there will be no opposition to us. You can follow me without worry."
"Hey, go away and don't interrupt." Qin Baiqing interrupted Li Jiuxing.
She didn't take it to heart, but she still wanted to hear his story about the fox family's unhappy love life, so she was about to ask more.
But at this moment, Li Yuqi appeared out of nowhere, making the scene weird. Only Qin Baiqing's eyes almost lit up, and she asked the person involved eagerly: "I know about you and Princess Qingming. What's going on with you now?"
He was stunned, and his light-colored thin lips opened and closed several times.
Finally, he lowered his eyes and whispered, "Brother invites you two to meet in the hall."
