Chapter 1131: You’re Just Going to Sell Off Qiao’er Like That?
However... Xiaoqi’s eyes rolled around twice, and with a sincere face, she said to Su Xingqiao, "Brother Qiao, don’t worry, with me here, I can definitely help you fulfill your wish. When you reunite with Sister Jing and the others, they’ll definitely see you in a new light!"
Su Xingqiao looked at her exceptionally earnest yet slightly childlike promise, and couldn’t help but be moved: "Xiaoqi, thank you."
Xiaoqi said bashfully, "Thank me for what, this is something I should do. If it weren’t for me, Brother Qiao wouldn’t have been poisoned... If... if we hadn’t successfully found Ning Xu, we’d still be clueless about what to do!"
It was fortunate that Ning Xu didn’t have any real malice, otherwise, even with her high level of cultivation, if Ning Xu acted first, she wouldn’t even have had the chance to react, let alone detoxify. So, Xiaoqi genuinely felt extremely guilty towards Su Xingqiao.
"Brother Qiao, since you’ve already decided, just get ready. Once my little aunt sends me a letter, we can leave!" Xiaoqi, worried that Su Xingqiao was overthinking, quickly changed the subject.
Su Xingqiao nodded: "Alright, then I’ll head back first and tell Jing’er and the others."

Xiaoqi happily watched Su Xingqiao’s departing figure. Wouldn’t the days with Brother Qiao be interesting?
When Su Xingqiao went to tell Han Jing and the others that he was going with Xiaoqi to Phoenix Island, Han Jing feigned surprise, but quickly stated that once the time was right, they would definitely join him on Phoenix Island to discuss the next steps. She assured him to cultivate in peace, promising they would also regularly send letters to Xiaoqi for safety updates.
With Han Jing’s assurance, Su Xingqiao felt completely at ease. He also knew that trying to go against Ningxi Island was no easy task, especially with their current strength, it was utterly impossible to handle. So, their journey to Phoenix Island might take a while. If there was no news, Su Xingqiao wouldn’t be able to cultivate in peace. Therefore, if they could communicate, it would be perfect.
After pacifying Su Xingqiao, Su Yu raised an eyebrow and asked, "You knew all along that Qiao’er would decide to go with Xiaoqi to Phoenix Island, so why did you act so surprised? Little mischief-maker, thankfully Qiao’er trusts you so much. Did you and Xiaoqi plan this all along?"
Han Jing grinned: "Even with great acting skills, you saw right through me? This is all for Brother Qiao’s benefit. First, Phoenix Island is very safe, and secondly, hehe..."
Han Jing walked over and sat on Su Yu’s lap: "Don’t you think Xiaoqi and Brother Qiao are quite a match? If Brother Qiao knew that Xiaoqi and I had colluded beforehand, what if he thought there was a conspiracy and hesitated? Now, it’s only natural for Brother Qiao to think going to Phoenix Island is the best choice, and that Xiaoqi simply wants to help him. This way, if Xiaoqi occasionally appears in front of Brother Qiao and uses a few little tricks, won’t Brother Qiao be hooked?"
Su Yu, with a black line: "So, you’re just selling Qiao’er out like that?"
Han Jing pinched him on the waist: "What do you mean selling out? Brother Qiao is worth it to begin with, this is doing a good deed, a win-win situation! Or do you want to see Brother Qiao remain single forever?"
