Chapter 225: Chapter 225 Qiao Nanyuan: Using Mr. Xiao to draw the snake out of the hole?

"Understood."

Qin Ruan decided that she would clarify things with him after resolving this demonic murder case.

Although she couldn’t figure out the source of the black evil force on Qiao Jiu, she would have to inform him of its potential impact and existence.

Taming and suppressing the black evil force and keeping the Purple Energy vital, for now, she was the only one who could do it.

Also, she needed to convince Qiao Jiu that in the future, she would regularly suppress the black evil force for him.

"Then... I am leaving now."

Qin Ruan looked at Qiao Jiu, who was holding her wrist, and spoke quietly.

Huo Yunjiao released her hand, giving her a slight smile, "Go then, I’ll wait for you at home."

Qin Ruan, preparing to leave, paused when she heard the word "home."

She looked up to see his eyes filled with a smile.

Qin Ruan responded comfortably, "Okay."

The mention of "home" warmed her heart.

The distance she had kept earlier faded, and she once again showed her soft side to Qiao Jiu.

"Good girl--"

Huo Yunjiao brushed a few strands of hair from her face, his voice was unspeakably soft.

His eyes radiated warmth, his elegant manners and dignified temperament coexisted.

This quality was what time and experience had given him.

Qin Ruan nodded lightly, turned around, and left, stopping when she passed by Qin Mei.

"Second Brother, I’m heading off now. Let dad and big brother know I won’t be coming home soon."

"Alright."

Qin Mei touched the tip of his nose, looking a little uncomfortable.

The scene that happened earlier was deeply imprinted in his mind.

He had never seen his sister acting so affectionate and sweet before.

Just like a cat that kept its dangerous claws hidden, only showing her tender belly in front of Qiao Jiu.

As Qin Ruan left, Huo Zhi made a slight bow to Qiao Jiu and hurriedly followed her out.

...

North City, Qiao family.

Qin Ruan entered the Qiao family residence as familiarly as if it was her own home.

"Sister Ruan, you’re finally here!" Qiao Jiu enthusiastically welcomed her into the house.

Inside the room, Qiao Nanyuan was standing in front of a pearwood table, drawing a talisman.

His pen moved smoothly and powerfully, flowing like a river across the paper.

"Sister Ruan, what do you want to eat? Fruit, dessert or juice?"

Qiao Jiu orbited around Qin Ruan like a little lackey.

The admiration and respect in her eyes were clearly seen by Qin Ruan.

The girl had an inexplicable admiration for and closeness to her, right from their very first meeting.

Qiao Jiu was straightforward and Qin Ruan didn’t reject her admiration at all.

She smiled at Qiao Jiu, "No need, I have some matters to discuss with your master. I may not be able to stay long."

Qiao Jiu was visibly disappointed, "Ah? You’re not staying for dinner? It’s so boring at home with just the two of us, master and me."

Qiao Nanyuan finished drawing the talisman, put down his pen.

Picking up a towel from the side, he started wiping his hands while walking towards Qin Ruan.

"I heard from Xiaojiu that you have something to discuss with me, Daoist Qin?"

"Yes, about the recent murders, I knew one of the victims. I want to find the demon that’s causing harm behind the scenes."

"Do you have any leads?"

Qiao Nanyuan didn’t seem surprised at all, it was as if he had predicted that Qin Ruan would get involved with these murder cases.

"I do, it’s related to Xia Yunchen."

The real aim of Qin Ruan’s visit was Xia Yunchen. The person who created the problem would be the one to solve it.

She speculated that the root of it all should be with him.

Unfortunately, she didn’t have his contact information.

Qiao Nanyuan put down the towel in his hands, looking surprisingly at her, "It’s related to Mr. Xia?"

"All I can say is that originally, the demon was targeting Xia Yunchen, but because of some changes, it moved its focus to the last victim."

Qiao Nanyuan understood her meaning instantly, "You’re planning to use Mr. Xia to draw the snake out of the hole?"

"Exactly!"

Qin Ruan moistened her lips then spoke, "I also hope Uncle Qiao can help out."
