Chapter 1988: The Battle XL

“Hmph!”

Hui Yan flung his lapel and looked at Qiu Hui coldly. “I won’t ever forget what you’ve done today!”

He walked away after saying that, disappearing without looking back.

The elder looked coldly in the direction he left and frowned. “Hui You seem to have changed a bit from before.”

He did not have much impression of Hui You. He only knew that she was timid but kind and understanding.

‘Why has she turned into such a girl now?

“Moreover, if she did not mean it, why did she have to sneak into this place? It’s really hard to convince others that she’s innocent.”

Perhaps, only Hui Yan would believe in her because she was his daughter.

However, the bystanders could feel that something was wrong with Hui You.

“Forget it. Hui You has nothing to do with us, and Hui Yan won’t listen to our advice.”

The elder smiled helplessly. He looked down at Xia Xia, who was squatting on the ground and pondered for a second. “Qiu Hui, there are some things you should tell her so that she won’t be sad for a long time.”

Qiu Hui naturally understood what the elder was trying to say. She lowered her head, and her gaze fell upon Xia Xia.

“Xia Xia, there are many things I didn’t tell you because we don’t have an answer either.”

Xia Xia finally lifted her head, her face covered in tears.

“What answer?”

Qiu Hui smiled bitterly. “Your parents have not died. They have just disappeared, and your grandfather is still out looking for them. If they had died, Tianya would not be staying out there, waiting for them. As long as he is still out there, it proves that your parents are still alive.”

She paused and continued, “We don’t know the whereabouts of your parents, and I’m afraid that you might be sad and upset. That’s why I didn’t tell you.”

“Really?”

Xia Xia’s eyes finally lit up.

After all, being still missing was considered good news compared to death.

It proved that they might still be alive. But if they had died, they would never come back again…

Qiu Hui lowered her head and touched Xia Xia’s head gently. “Yes, I will not lie to you.”

“Mhmm, I believe in Aunt Qiu.”

Xia Xia smiled brightly, sweeping away the gloom of a moment ago.

‘Mother and Father have just disappeared…

‘It’s good that they’re only missing.

‘It means that I can get them back…’

“I will not listen to the others. That woman said that Father and Mother are dead. I do not want to leave Father and Mother.”

Qiu Hui felt a little guilty. “Sorry, I was negligent in letting someone sneak in. I thought that after giving the order, no one would disturb you, but I didn’t expect that someone would still be bold enough just because her father has a high status in Nine Gate.”

All the members of Nine Gate lived on separate mountains. They did not wander around during the week. Furthermore, Nine Gate’s disciples all obeyed the orders and would not come here to disturb Xia Xia.

However, they had never expected that Hui You would be so bold to break the orders.

“Is her name Hui You? That old man’s daughter?” Xia Xia bit her finger. “But I think I’ve met her before… A few years ago.”

‘A few years ago?

‘Before Xia Xia came to Nine Gate?’

The crowd looked at each other, puzzled.

“It should be before Mother fell into a coma back then. I think it should have been seven years ago.”

Back then, she was only two years old.

One should not underestimate the two-year-old Xia Xia because she could remember everything clearly even up until this day.

Her brain was like a diary. She never forgot anything she had experienced before…

Especially the people she had met.
