Chapter 253: Give It All Up

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Just as Yi Tong was about to leave, they ran into Gu Xiqiao and Jiang Shuxuan.

They’ve been here for many days, and this was the first time Jiang Shuxuan had stepped outside. Yi Tiao’s eyes were round and wide. “That’s… Big Boss?”

Yi Bing gave him a disgusted look. “You don’t look retarded.” Why are you saying such idiotic things, if that’s not Big Boss, then who is it?

Yi Tiao: “…” D*mn this as*hole Yi Bing!

Gu Xiqiao was buying some small trinkets, with Jiang Shuxuan following behind her. When they bumped into Yi Tong and the others, he nodded slightly. Gu Xiqiao however, smiled brightly as she greeted them. “Hello, have you seen Jiji?”

“Jiji is eating in the kitchen, Miss Gu.” Yi Bing wanted to slap himself once the words were out, Jiji was a robot, how could it be eating?

Wouldn’t the food just get stuck inside it?

“Thank you for your care,” Gu Xiqiao replied, the smile still bright on her face.

Yi Bing hurried to say that it was no problem at all, and he couldn’t help but feel like there was something hidden behind her bright smile.

Thinking back to the happenings in the Imperial Capital as well as the elders in the ancient martial arts world, he couldn’t help but shudder. Who was the unlucky one this time, to have caught her eye? If you thought about it, there was only Xiahou Chengqin at the current moment.

Seeing how Yi Bing the rest left in such a hurry, Gu Xiqiao rubbed her chin thoughtfully as she turned to look at Jiang Shuxuan. “Are they afraid of me, or you, Brother Jiang?” They had run away so fast?

The expression on Jiang Shuxuan didn’t change as he replied, “Whoever you say.”

“…” What a half-a*sed answer!

Glancing around, she spotted Cecily not far from them. Cecily had brightened up when she saw Gu Xiqiao, but she stopped in her steps the moment she noted Jiang Shuxuan beside her, not daring to come any closer.

Gu Xiqiao saw this, and glanced at Jiang Shuxuan. “Wait here for me, I’m going over to Cecy.”

“Cecily, her name is Cecily.” Jiang Shuxuan corrected.

Thinking that she shouldn’t argue with a patient at this time, Gu Xiqiao just agreed with him. “Alright, Cecily it is.” She waved her hand, and ran all the way to Cecily’s side.

“Qiao Qiao,” Cecily greeted, breathing out deeply. “I thought that I wouldn’t see you today.”

“What’s wrong?” Gu Xiqiao asked, looking at her.

“It’s this.” Cecily pulled out a USB drive. “When I was on a mission this afternoon, I did a sweep and managed to find fluctuations of malicious aura in the area, but I wasn’t able to recover the data on it. If you can try recovering it, then I’ll be able to pinpoint the location of the source.”

Gu Xiqiao took the USB drive, twirling it around in her hand. “What happened to you this afternoon?” Gu Xiqiao asked suddenly, the thought had been on her mind all the while.

When Gu Xiqiao raised the matter, Cecily’s face changed to a pitiful one immediately. “Qiao Qiao, you have to get revenge for me. Do you know why I was sent to N City? It’s because of him, he almost tore tendons in my hands and legs.”
