Chapter 1068 - 1067: Emerging Into the Open
The rule for this fair is that all children over five can participate. Seeing this, Tian Zhi frowned and looked up at Beisitian."Master, could this be aimed at Little Rui?"
Beisitian nodded. "That’s what I think too. I heard Little Rui and Changle mention that, before she died, Hao Meili said she had seen a photo of Little Rui at the place where she’d been imprisoned, and that was why she kept Little Rui by her side."
Tian Zhi’s expression grew somewhat grave. When he and the Wei Zhongyuan brothers heard about this, they had already felt uneasy. In a place like that, a place where Parasitic Beasts existed, where humans were used for experiments—why would there be a photo of Luo Yirui!
It showed these people were looking for Luo Yirui, or at least investigating him. If they had no purpose, why would they be looking into a five-year-old child.
"They’re in the dark and we’re out in the open. Right now, that’s what puts us at the greatest disadvantage." As Beisitian spoke, she turned to Jiang Xin and said, "Jiang Xin, go back to your own courtyard to practice talismans, and call the Wei Zhongyuan brothers, Qin Xinyu, and Xing Jun over."
She thought for a moment and added, "Have Little Yu Zhu and Elder Qiao come as well."
Jiang Xin nodded, immediately got up, and hurried out to notify them.
Before long, everyone had arrived. Ever since coming to the Beijing small courtyard, Qiao Hongjie had been reluctant to leave. His organization was actually an illegal one—after all, it had never been reviewed or registered. For now, controls weren’t that strict, but sooner or later his organization would be shut down.
And he was getting old, his body disabled; he didn’t want to bother with those tedious matters anymore. The Ghost Doctor Talisman Scripture had already been fully deciphered, and he just wanted to find a quiet place to study it in peace, so he stayed in the small courtyard.
He remained as an externally hired Mystic Doctor, because he still had quite a few people willing to follow him. He had no way to fully join Qingyu; those under him had no sense of belonging to Qingyu yet, and forcing them in would only bring conflict. This was the result of his discussions with Beisitian.
Normally, if it wasn’t anything very important, Beisitian wouldn’t look for Qiao Hongjie. If she did ask him over to talk, it was definitely something big.
Yan Jiu and Feng Qi wheeled Qiao Hongjie into the living room and then left. Lately, they had been spending a lot of time with Zhou Quan, constantly learning about all the big and small happenings in Beijing.
In Beijing, especially in the small courtyard, Elder Qiao’s safety could be completely guaranteed.
Seeing that the room was filled with Qingyu’s final core members, Qiao Hongjie knew this matter was probably no small one.
"Girl, what’s happened?" Qiao Hongjie asked.
Beisitian handed the Mystic Doctor Association special issue to Qiao Hongjie and said, "Elder Qiao, take a look at this."
Qiao Hongjie took it, and Beisitian went on, "This time, the fair isn’t being organized by some major clan sect, but by those Ancient Families!"
Everyone in Qingyu, from top to bottom, already knew about the Ancient Families. Even the newly joined Shi Family’s core members had been informed.
So when they heard her words, grave expressions appeared on all their faces.
Qiao Hongjie was the same. "From the looks of it, they’re planning to officially surface and appear before the people of the Mystic Medical World."
It was easy to imagine what kind of great upheaval their move would stir up. After all, aside from the major families and big sects who were vaguely aware, the Middle School Families and other sects had no idea these giant predators existed, and were still naively fantasizing that the major families and big sects were their ultimate goal.
