Chapter 304 The Encirclement by Jiao Liqiao
"Congratulations on getting it right, but there's no reward."
Where are you headed?
"Where else can we go? Naturally, we'll continue exploring downwards," Wu You replied.
“I want to go too,” Fang Duobing said quickly. “I’ve been involved in this whole thing. Besides, it concerns my father and you, Li Lianhua. I want to know what happens next.”
"Fang Xiaobao, are you sure? I suspect that what's going on behind the scenes is more than just investigating a case." Li Lianhua looked at Fang Duobing in front of her and suddenly realized that Fang Duobing was actually about the same height as her.
"I've already made up my mind, and I won't change it," Fang Duobing said firmly.
"In that case, let's go."
Li Lianhua didn't try to dissuade him too much, because given Fang's sickly nature, how could he be easily persuaded?
······
"I didn't expect you to actually follow me."
As soon as they arrived at the Lotus Pavilion, they saw Jiao Liqiao leading a large group of Golden Mandarin Duck Alliance subordinates surrounding it.
"Since the item is in your hands, of course I had to come over as soon as possible." Jiao Liqiao was still wearing that bright red dress, blowing on her beautiful nails, her tone nonchalant.
"We've been in Xiaoyuan City the whole time. Why didn't you come looking for us there, Miss Jiao? How long have you been here?"
Undeterred, the four leisurely passed through Jiao Liqiao's encirclement and arrived in front of the Lotus Tower.
Strength makes one fearless.
"We haven't been here long, just a day, I guess," Jiao Liqiao replied. "It would be too much trouble to go inside and look for you. If we stayed here and kept watch, you would eventually come back, and here you are, aren't you?"
"Jiao Liqiao, are you trying to steal our Luo Motian Ice again?" Fang Duobing looked at Jiao Liqiao warily, keeping a close eye on Xue Gong and Xue Po beside her.
"Look at what Young Hero Fang is saying. I came here naturally for the Luo Mo Tian Bing. I can't possibly come all this way only to be outdone by you. Now you can hand over the Luo Mo Tian Bing."
"Forget about it, we can't give it to you."
"Look at that cold gaze, it's really captivating, but unfortunately, it's not even half as good as my Venerable One's." Jiao Liqiao covered her mouth and teased.
"Beautiful lady from Jiao, you've come all this way. Please have a glass of water first," Li Lianhua said, quickly pulling out a stool and inviting them to sit on it while Nanfeng was talking.
"I won't drink the water. I have some things to take care of at the alliance. I've taken my things and I'm leaving now."
Although Jiao Liqiao said this, her eyes remained fixed on the teapot on the table. Jiao Liqiao couldn't understand how the guard could have boiled a pot of water so quickly when these people had only been there for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.
Even if they moved incredibly fast, that wouldn't be possible. In that short time, the stove probably wouldn't even be hot enough. Jiao Liqiao then turned her gaze to Nanfeng, trying to figure out what was going on.
Looking at the teapot on the table again, a thought flashed through Jiao Liqiao's mind: Could this be...? Then she shook her head and gave up on this far-fetched idea.
"So, beautiful Jiao, what are you planning to do with this Luo Mo Tian Ice this time?" Wu You asked, seeing Jiao Li Qiao's actions. He walked to the table, sat down, and poured her a cup of tea.
“I know that with Li Xiangyi around, it’s unlikely that I can get it from him. But relying on scheming will take a lot of time, and I don’t want to wait any longer.” Jiao Liqiao didn’t drink the water and remained standing in the same spot, about four or five meters away from the others.
"So?" Fang Duobing sat down in the direction where Wu You had poured the water, and slowly blew on the hot water cup.
