Chapter 1036: Chapter 1036: The Cheat in the Ring vs. The Loser’s Comeback to Life Winner (Part 22) Gu Yansui had already fallen asleep. There was a thin white chain on his chest, with a seemingly ordinary ring attached to it. This was the Purple Cloud Ring. It was Gu Yansui’s own decision not to wear it on his hand. He treasured this ring even more than Gu Shengyin, saying that if he wore it on his hand and someone noticed it, he wouldn’t be able to protect himself, which would be troublesome. The Purple Cloud Ring returning to this unremarkable form was also for the same purpose of concealment. What he didn’t see was that, in this silent darkness, the ring on his chest was emitting a faint purple glow. Then, a very dim radiance flowed out of the ring, gathering in mid-air to form a very illusory figure. The shadowy figure was barely clear, flickering in and out of existence, and appeared somewhat eerie in the darkness. However, if you were to take a glance at it, you wouldn’t find it eerie, but instead, you would be captivated by the brilliance displayed by that illusory figure. Even if her face was not clear, the grace subtly shown in her gestures was enough to outshine all the beauties in the world. Bearing the name Jing Hong, how could she not be stunning? Gu Shengyin never told Gu Yansui that she could actually come out, but she could not stray too far from the Purple Cloud Ring. Having Divine Sense meant that, to Gu Shengyin, it made not much difference whether she came out or not. She appeared from the Purple Cloud Ring today simply on a whim. Updates are released by 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭•𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮•𝘯𝘦𝘵 “System, how is Qiao Qiao?” she asked. The system provided the latest news: “Rumors of Qiao Qiao cultivating demonic techniques have spread all over East Cloud City. The Qiao Family has also heard the news and called her back for a thorough investigation, but found nothing.” This was within Gu Shengyin’s expectations. The legacy left by a Divinity Transformation Stage expert, if it could be discovered by the Qiao Family, would indeed be strange. “And then?” She was concerned about what happened next. A family like the Qiao Family should not let such a matter go easily. The system’s response was strong: “However, the Qiao Family did not let it go. Qiao Qiao’s father, Patriarch Qiao, placed her under house arrest in the courtyard, forcing her to reveal the secret of her sudden increase in power.” Gu Shengyin smiled, knowing that a family like the Qiao Family was rotten to the core. They must have long wanted to question Qiao Qiao, but had never found a suitable excuse. And Gu Shengyin just happened to deliver the excuse right to them. Indeed, Gu Shengyin never expected Qiao Qiao to be detected for cultivating demonic cultivation techniques in the first place. Everything that followed was within Gu Shengyin’s expectations: Naturally, Qiao Qiao would never reveal her circumstances and bit her teeth, claiming she knew nothing. Patriarch Qiao was also cold-hearted, and to make her speak, he even tortured his own daughter. Qiao Qiao suffered numerous inhumane punishments, and the last piece of news was: she killed the Early Foundation Establishment Stage guard watching her, escaped, and her whereabouts are unknown. “Now the Qiao Family is sending people all over the city to search for Qiao Qiao, but without result.” Gu Shengyin asked, “Can you find out where she is?” The system glowed with white light: “No problem.” Gu Shengyin laughed: “Then go ahead and deliver another big gift to the Qiao Family.” If you dare to harm someone important to her, Gu Shengyin declares, even if you’re just a little girl, don’t blame me for being tough!
