Chapter 1574 Testing
Ling Tian's expression was just right and did not arouse Qiao Huailong's suspicion.
He glanced at Ling Tian, pushed him aside, walked into the inner room, and saw Qiao An lying on the bed.
Joan was covered with a thick quilt and her forehead was covered with cold sweat.
His face was as pale as paper.
Hearing someone enter the room, Joan opened her eyes and looked.
"Xiao Chu..."
Before he finished speaking, Qiao An stood up hurriedly, as if he suddenly realized that the person who came in was not Qiao Chu.
"Lord City Lord, why are you here?"
Looking at Qiao An who was saluting him, Qiao Huailong was full of doubts.
what happened?
This old guy is actually okay?
Although it can be seen that Qiao An is very weak.
But the uncontrollable aura made Qiao Huailong extremely certain that Qiao An had completely dissolved the true energy he left behind at this moment.
But how is this possible?
Unless there is someone with similar strength to him, it is impossible to solve Joan’s problem.
Then why didn't he sense any existence that could threaten him?
Including him, there are only four people here. The remaining three are Qiao An and Qiao Chu.
The last one is the guy I just met.
Qiao Huailong turned around and looked towards the door.
Ling Tian was frowning and looking around the room anxiously.
As if he was worried about Joan's condition.
Qiao Huailong didn't answer Qiao An. He grinned and attacked without warning the next moment.
The target is Ling Tian!
With Ling Tian's strength, he could naturally dodge it.
But he did not dodge. Instead, he raised his arms and took Qiao Huailong's attack head-on.
boom!
Not surprisingly, Ling Tian was blasted away.
He fell in the yard, spitting blood.
The head of the Qiao family, who was one step behind, happened to arrive at this time. Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but clenched his fists and roared.
"Lord City Lord, what do you mean by this? Why do you want to hurt my Qiao family's priest?"
Qiao Chu's eyes flashed and he also stood in front of Ling Tian.
Eyes filled with anger fell on Qiao Huailong.
She didn't know why Ling Tian didn't resist, but there must be a reason, so she naturally had to help Ling Tian act.
Looking at the two people standing in front of Ling Tian, Qiao Huailong narrowed his eyes.
The palm strike just now was just a test.
He suspected that the masked man he met before was Ling Tian.
But the aura emanating from Ling Tian indicated that he was only at the peak of the Heaven-Shaking Realm.
It's far from being comparable to him.
Strength may deceive people, but realm will not.
If you don’t touch the threshold of the state of mind, then it doesn’t exist.
In fact, there is no way to conceal the realm, even for people in the central city.
In other words, this guy is definitely not a masked man.
Where did the masked man go?
Ran?
impossible!
He didn't come alone, but brought nearly a hundred people with him.
As early as when he entered the Qiao family, he had people surround the Qiao family. If the masked man escaped, even if his people could not stop him, they would report the information.
That means... he didn't escape?
Qiao Huailong's eyes flickered slightly, and he ignored Qiao Chu and the head of the Qiao family.
Look at Joan again.
"I haven't been to the Qiao family for a long time. I want to meet the young talents of the Qiao family. Is that possible?"
He was said to be a young talent, but Qiao An could tell it.
This guy wants to meet everyone in the Qiao family.
The purpose - in all likelihood, it's for Ling Tian!
However, Qiao Huailong was destined to be disappointed. The person he really wanted to meet had just been tested, and he was treated as an ordinary person at the peak of the Shaking Heaven Realm.
No matter how he tried, he would never be able to find the masked man.
Qiao An had no objection, but she couldn't agree easily.
He lowered his eyes and said.
"City Lord, my two brothers went to the City Lord's Mansion and have not returned yet..."
"They are fine. I will have someone send them back."
"when?"
"Before I return to the City Lord's Mansion."
"Then I'll trouble the city lord."
The two quickly reached an agreement.
Since Qiao An had spoken, the head of the Qiao family naturally had no objection and quickly gathered all the members of the Qiao family together.
Even those who were not at the Qiao family at the moment were all called back.
Qiao Huailong glanced at everyone, but did not rush to speak. Instead, he was waiting for news.
The people under his command are already searching the entire Qiao family.
These people need to report their whereabouts at all times.
Once one of them loses contact, it means something unexpected has happened.
But what surprised Qiao Huailong was that as time passed, no information came in.
They had searched most of the Qiao family's house, but still hadn't found the masked man.
Qiao Huailong couldn't help but start to doubt whether the masked man really had no connection with the Qiao family.
In other words, there may be a relationship, but the person is not in the Qiao family.
Then who helped Qiao An resolve her troubles?
Qiao Huailong couldn't help but look at Ling Tian.
The palm strike he made before seemed to have caused great harm to Ling Tian. At this moment, Ling Tian couldn't stand at all and needed Qiao Chu's support.
Feeling Qiao Huailong's gaze, Ling Tian looked up.
A look of resentment appeared in his eyes.
Qiao Huailong was not unfamiliar with this look.
For the weak, they cannot take revenge on the strong and can only watch.
Qiao Huailong's suspicions were dispelled again. He turned to look at Qiao An and asked.
"Who helped you dissolve the true qi?"
This has already put the contradiction directly on the surface.
Qiao An took a deep breath, seeming a little indignant and helpless.
"It was the doctor you injured earlier."
"doctor?"
"He knows a lost acupuncture method. He used silver needles to draw the true energy out of my body. Qiao Huailong, the person you are looking for is not here. If you dare to hurt anyone, don't blame us, the Qiao family, for fighting with our lives!"
It is an undeniable fact that Qiao Huailong is very powerful.
But this does not mean that he can destroy everyone in the Qiao family.
After all, although this is all the Qiao family members who are here at the moment, there must be some who have not arrived yet.
If Qiao Huailong really dares to touch the Qiao family, there is no need to wait until tomorrow. In half an hour at most, the news will spread throughout the entire Qiao City.
Qiao An and Qiao Huailong are both aware of this.
The reason why I didn't insist that all the members of the Qiao family must be present was, firstly, it was unnecessary, and secondly, I didn't want to completely fall out with the Qiao family.
Although with the current strength of the Qiao family of the City Lord's Mansion, it can easily suppress this lineage.
But the disadvantages outweigh the advantages.
This is also why, after seeing Qiao An earlier, he did not directly expose the fact that they had met and that Qiao An was hurt by him.
Many times, the fig leaf cannot be easily torn off.
Even if both parties know the truth, at least with this layer of cloth in place, they can still maintain stability on the surface.
Qiao Huailong withdrew his gaze and did not look at Ling Tian again.
Just a doctor.
Although his abilities were somewhat beyond expectations, he was nothing to be feared compared to that masked man.
Another half an hour later, someone came to report.
They had turned the entire Qiao family home upside down, but had not found any secret room or anyone.
This made Qiao Huailong's heart sink.
The person was not found, which means that he was not in the Qiao family at all.
In other words, the Qiao family and the masked man have no connection?
