Chapter 1175: The Older, The Wiser

Qiao Xi replied truthfully, Every once in a while, Grandpa would send me a message to let me know that he's safe. Moreover, I'm sure that he's the one who sends those messages.

There was no name or surname on the messages, but Qiao Xi had an inexplicable feeling that they were the messages her grandfather had sent her. His goal was to reassure her that she did not have to search for him.

Old Master Lu heaved a sigh of relief. That's right. He must still be alive. He's just afraid that you'll worry, so he sends you messages. That's good!

His tone was filled with delight. Qiao Xi could tell that he was really worried about her grandfather.

After a moment of silence, Old Master Lu looked at her affectionately. Xi Xi, do you still remember what happened when you were young?

Qiao Xi was slightly puzzled by the old master's words, but she still said, 10 years ago, I lived in the Qiao family. After that, I was chased out by the Qiao family and had nowhere to go, so I was brought up the mountain by my grandfather. I learned medicine and painting from him. Sometimes, I would even travel around with him. My seniors were all capable, so they brought me around the world as well.

Ever since she became the apprentice of the divine physician, Qiao Xi had gone to many places and gained a lot of knowledge, but nothing left a deep impression on her.

Hearing her words, Old Master Lu's eyes changed. Is that all?

Qiao Xi hesitated for a moment, then thought carefully before replying seriously, Yeah.

Xi Xi, do you like the beach? Although there's no sea in Li City, if you like it, go to the beach and have a good time there. The scenery there is beautiful and makes one happy, the old master said meaningfully.

Actually, Qiao Xi did not like the sea. Moreover, because she was pushed into the water by Qiao Rou when she was young, she had always been afraid of water, so she usually did not go to the beach.

Before she could answer, the old master asked affectionately, Xi Xi, you don't like the beach?

Yeah. Qiao Xi nodded.

Old Master Lu smiled and said softly, That's all I have to say. I can't interfere in the matters of you young people. It's getting late today, so I should rest. You can leave.

By the way, when will Lu Bai wake up? Old Master Lu suddenly remembered.

Qiao Xi instantly choked.

There was no trace of blame in the old master's eyes. I don't mean to blame you. Ah Xiao used to like to tease others and drug them, but the drug wouldn't be harmful to the human body. I just want to know when Lu Bai will wake up.

Qiao Xi: As expected, the older one was, the wiser one became. She thought that no one knew about this, but Old Master Lu had just woken up not long ago and had already guessed it. It was really too awkward.

Um he'll wake up soon, Qiao Xi replied in embarrassment.

Alright, you can leave now. Old Master Lu waved his hand.

After Qiao Xi left, Wang Liang walked in and asked softly, Old Master, why do you believe that Miss Qiao wouldn't hurt the head of the family?

Although Old Master Lu kept calling Lu Bai a bastard, he still cared about his son. However, he did not blame Qiao Xi for poisoning him.

You've never been to the head of the family's room. You don't know what poison he was poisoned with. How are you so sure that Miss Qiao won't hurt the head of the family? Wang Liang continued to ask.

Old Master Lu glanced at him and said casually, Xi Xi is Ah Xiao's disciple. Since he was willing to take her in as his disciple and even taught her carefully for so many years, it means that this child is promising. If Xi Xi was really vicious and unscrupulous, Ah Xiao wouldn't have kept her by his side. Liang Pingchuan and Shen Yu wouldn't dote on her so much either. I believe in Ah Xiao, so I naturally believe in Xi Xi.

Although Xi Xi hates Lu Bai, she definitely won't hurt him. At least, on my account, she'll let him live.

Qiao Xi did hate Lu Bai for treating Lu Qingyun badly. He abandoned Gu Zheng, but he was the son of the old master, after all, so Qiao Xi would not kill him.

Old Master Lu's expression suddenly turned cold. I really regret not abolishing Lu Bai's position as the head of the family earlier and letting him rely on his identity as the head of the family to commit crimes. I've always tolerated him because he's my only son, but now, for Qingyun and Ah Zheng, I can't continue to tolerate him.

With that, the old master gestured for Wang Liang to come closer and spoke into his ear.

On the other hand, after Qiao Xi left the main residence, she saw a tall figure standing at the intersection. His eyes were lowered lazily, and he slowly raised them when he heard footsteps. His light brown eyes were calm as he came forward to hold her hand. Let's go.
