With a thought, Qiao Mu summoned the Startled Swan Dagger back to her fingers with a swish.

  That sharp dagger twirled for a bit before disappearing into her conscious pool.

  At this time, Fan Qiuming hastily rushed forward to support Fan Qiuhe before slinking away with the other people from the Fan Clan.

  Qiao Mu stared coldly at the direction they left in and did not say anything more. Then, she nuzzled her head against Mo Lian’s chest and looked up at him. “What is it.”


  Yet Mo Lian didn’t release her from his embrace and only smiled as he looked down at her. “Are you feeling better?”


  Qiao Mu nodded.

  She felt that the air here was much better now after Fan Qiuhe had left.

  Every time she saw him, she would continuously recall that dark part of her past, which was truly unbearable.

  Of course, in her view, this unbearable feeling would soon be disposed of.

  Before disposing of this Fan Qiuhe, though, she needed to ascertain something.

  Her tragic marionette-like life in her past lifetime was all thanks to the Prefecture Lord of Shuntian Prefecture.

  She suspected that it was possible that it was after she triggered her mystic meridians at age 16 that the Prefecture Lord of Shuntian Prefecture sent this “smiling big brother” to her side.

  When she thought of this, Darling Qiao involuntarily gave a shudder.

  “Qiaoqiao, you can’t tell me?” While creasing his brows, Mo Lian hugged her slim waist as he looked down at her. “You can’t tell me about Fan Qiuhe?”


  Qiao Mu looked at him in a daze, and her slightly morbid eyes, which were as pitch-black as ancient wells, flickered. She hung her small head and yielded, “I…… can tell you. When we go back, I’ll tell you about all the enmity between me and Fan Qiuhe, okay.”


  “Okay.” As delighted as Mo Lian was, his heart also felt a bit heavy.

  “Then you have to also tell me that eccentric old geezer’s identity.”


  Mo Lian was startled, and then he pinched her small face with a chuckle. “Children should not be that smart. After all, dumb ones grow faster.”


  “I’ll have my coming-of-age hairpin ceremony in half a month. I’m not a child!” Qiao Mu slapped away his palm in a huff. “You have to tell me.”


  “Okay.” Mo Lian nodded with a smile. “Anything you want to know, I will tell you.”


  “That’s much better.” The little lady looked at him in satisfaction before suddenly realizing that she was just in the middle of speaking with her captain when she got interrupted by that d*mned Fan Qiuhe.

  She hastily turned around and shouted crisply at Gao Sheng, “Captain! Little Sixth and I want to join Huge Bear Squad!”


  Captain Gao was so flabbergasted, not to mention also extremely flattered, that he didn’t know where to put his hands.

  The little lady’s combat prowess had completely been put on display just earlier.

  Captain Gao gawked at the little lady for a long time before assenting with repeated nods, “Okay, okay! Little fellow, if you want to join our Huge Bear Squad, we naturally welcome you with open arms. However……”


  Scratching his head, Captain Gao noted in embarrassment, “Our Huge Bear Squad isn’t too strong. Have you thought things through?”


  “Mhm!”


  At that moment, the members of Huge Bear Squad all fixed their gazes on that young lady.

  It was on this day that two incredible team members joined Huge Bear Squad.
