Chapter 1160: Not Cute at All

That friend of mine is Han Rui. Hes now in the army. Weve hardly met over the past couple of years, Qiao Yanjue explained to Xia Xibei. But Ive heard that the Hans are quite a special family.

Special as in

Xia Xibei was puzzled.

Well, Qiao Yanjue nodded, Im not sure how special exactly. After all, I was young at that time, and Han Rui never told us about these things. Now that were older and preoccupied with work, we dont bring up topics like that anymore. However, I think the Han family that you just said They may have something to do with them.

They would have to find out what the actual relation was for themselves.

I think that theyre most likely a side line, not the main line of members of the family. Otherwise, they wouldnt be living away.

Qiao Yanjue added, He also has a sister who grew up as lively as a boy. If shes been through what youve just told me I dont think life would be that easy for her.

Lets wait till we get it figured out, Xia Xibei shook her head. The main thing now is Tang Luos growth.

If Tang Luo remained weak and got captured, they would be in big trouble.

Hows Tang Luo right now? Qiao Yanjue asked.

I taught them the techniques of dual cultivation, so shes quite alright now. Im just afraid that the Hans are up to something else.

Dual cultivation techniques? Qiao Yanjue caught the point sharply, his eyes instantly lighting up, What kind of cultivation is that?

Xia Xibeis lips twitched. If he didnt know anything, why was he so excited?

Nothing much, just ordinary stuff, she blurted out. Iits not for us.

How come? Qiao Yanjues eyes shone, Im sure you have many other cultivation techniques in store!

There was no telling where exactly Xia Xibei had come to learn such things, but what was certain was that she had mastered a diversity of skills that no one else ever could.

That was why Qiao Yanjue had so much confidence in her.

I dont, for G.o.ds sake! Xia Xibei shot him a speechless glance. I would have shown you if I had them, wouldnt I?

Well, she was lying. She did have a solution.

If she told him the truth, however, it would be the end of her. Qian Yanjue would annoy her to death.

For real?

For real! She justified herself, Our situation is different from Tang Luos, so we certainly have to resort to something else. Youve gotten all the way here, so what more do you want?

She made the move before he could, Dont tell me youre still unsatisfied.

She narrowed her eyes. There was a precarious look in her eyes that frightened him.

Her stare managed to shut Qiao Yanjue up.

No, Im very satisfied!

Thats good! Xia Xibei patted his shoulder. Okay, I gotta go make a phone call.

As he watched her leave, there was a subtle look in Qiao Yanjues eyes.

He really wasnt sure what the dual cultivation technique meant but He could ask the others!

That was how Lu Xiaohang opened his door to find Qiao Yanjue, right after he saw Xia Xibei off.

Dual cultivation? Lu Xiaohang was equally surprised. How did you know that?

I dont. Qiao Yanjue was frank, I just happened to have heard about it, so I came over to seek an explanation from you.

You dont know? Lu Xiaohang looked him up and down with suspicion. Why are you asking then?

I dont know anything about it, and thats exactly why Im asking! Qiao Yanjue gave him a contemptuous look. Why would I ask you if I knew?

Lu Xiaohang rolled his eyes. Qiao Yanjue wasnt a cute nephew at the very least!
