 Chapter 225: Using Mr. Xiao to lure the snake out of its hole?

"I understand," Qin Ruan decided that she would explain everything to the other party after she had solved this evil spirit murder case. Although she couldn't find the source of the Black Sha on Third Master's body, its interests and future impact still needed to be told to him. 

For the time being, she was the only one who could suppress the Black Sha and keep the Purple Energy permanently alive. She also needed to persuade Third Master to have it suppressed regularly in the future.

"Then...I'll go now." Qin Ruan stared at Third Master holding her wrist and spoke softly.

Huo Yunjiao let go of her and smiled slightly, "Go, I'll wait for you to come back home"

Qin Ruan was momentarily stunned by the word "home" as she was about to leave. She lifted her eyes and met the man's smiling eyes. Qin Ruan responded warmly, "Okay."

The word "home" made her feel warm inside. The distance between them that she had maintained before disappeared, and her softness once again appeared in front of Third Young Master.

"Good girl," Third Master reached out and brushed away a strand of hair from her face, his voice unusually gentle. 

His gaze was warm, and his elegance, tenderness, and noble temperament were all present. This temperament was something that time and experience had bestowed upon him.

Qin Ruan nodded gently, turned around and left, stopping when passing by Qin Mei. "Second brother, I'm leaving. Let Dad and eldest brother know that I won't be going back for a while."

"Okay," Qin Mei touched his nose, looking a little uncomfortable. The scene just now was deeply imprinted in his mind. He had never seen his little sister so tender and affectionate before.

The other party was like a cat retracting its dangerous claws, only showing her soft belly to Hou Yunjiao.

Watching Qin Ruan leave, Huo Zhi bowed to Hou Yunjiao and quickly followed her out.

...

In the north of the city, at the Qiao residence.

Qin Ruan walked into the Qiao residence like an old friend.

"Ruan jie jie, you finally came!" Qiao Jiu warmly welcomed her into the house.

In the living room, Qiao Nanyuan was standing in front of a pearwood table drawing symbols.

He was calm and steady in his strokes, and his pen moved fluidly with his motions.

"What do you want to eat, Ruan jie jie? Fruit, dessert, or juice?" Qiao Jiu circled around Qin Ruan like a little follower.

The admiration and respect in her eyes were clear to Qin Ruan.

Since their first meeting, this girl had an inexplicable sense of admiration and closeness towards her.

The little girl was straightforward in her thoughts, and Qin Ruan did not reject her liking towards Qiao Jiu.

She smiled at Qiao Jiu and said, "No need, I have something to discuss with your master. I may not stay for long."

Qiao Jiu was disappointed. "Ah? You're not staying for dinner? It's just me and master at home, and life can be so boring."

After Qiao Nanyuan finished drawing his symbols, he picked up a towel and walked towards Qin Ruan, wiping his hands as he approached.

"Little Jiu said that you came to see me about something?"

"Yes, one of the victims in the recent murders was someone I know. I want to find the culprit behind these evil acts."

"Do you have any leads?"

Qiao Nanyuan's expression did not reveal any surprise. It seemed that he had already expected Qin Ruan to be involved in these murders.

"I do, it's related to Xiao Yunchen."

Qin Ruan's goal this time was Xiao Yunchen. To catch the murderer, she needed to start from him.

Unfortunately, she did not have any means to contact him.

Qiao Nanyuan put down the towel and looked surprised. "Related to Mr. Xiao?"

"I can only say that the evil spirit initially targeted Xiao Yunchen, but because of some changes, it locked onto the last victim."

Qiao Nanyuan immediately understood her meaning. "You want to use Mr. Xiao to lure out the culprit?"

"That's right!"

Qin Ruan pursed her lips and added, "I also hope that Uncle Qiao can help me."

Third young master: Ruan Ruan, if you don't understand anything, kiss me!

-- Jiao Ye's flirtatiousness is unmatched.
