Chapter 747: Escapade
After Gong Tianhao and Xiao Lingyu left, Jiang Tao looked at their backs and could not come back to his senses for a long time.
‘They are really very happy now!’
...
Gong Tianhao and Xiao Lingyu had come to find Jiang Tao while avoiding Leng Piaoxue. They could not let Leng Piaoxue notice anything, or else she would become vigilant. They didn’t want to put Jiang Tao in danger.
They could not be sure if Leng Piaoxue really liked Jiang Tao or how much she liked him. Now, they could only gamble.
The two of them held hands.
Xiao Lingyu asked, “Tianhao, does Leng Piaoxue really like Jiang Tao?”
Gong Tianhao shook his head and said, “I don’t know either!”
But he guessed that Leng Piaoxue really liked Jiang Tao. Leng Piaoxue’s extreme hostility towards Yu ‘Er was very likely related to Jiang Tao.
Although he did not know what kind of person Leng Piaoxue was in her previous life, in this life, Leng Piaoxue was born in the Leng family. She was so doted on that she even had the freedom to choose her marriage. She would not be in a political marriage alliance. For a young lady born into a big family, this was great happiness.
The Leng family had chosen to let Leng Piaoxue get engaged to Jiang Tao, Leng Piaoxue did not object. This proved that Leng Piaoxue really liked Jiang Tao.
Since she liked Jiang Tao, once she knew Jiang Tao had another woman in his heart, how would Leng Piaoxue feel? Would she be jealous? Or would she pursue him openly and strive to replace that woman’s position in his heart?
Judging from how Leng Piaoxue hated Xiao Lingyu so much and even wanted to kill Xiao Lingyu, it was very likely that she was jealous. She wanted Xiao Lingyu to disappear so that Jiang Tao’s heart would become empty again.
Of course, this was Gong Tianhao’s guess. He did not want Xiao Lingyu to think too much and add to her burden, so he didn’t share with her his guess.
Xiao Lingyu frowned and said doubtfully, “Tianhao, even though I have not met Leng Piaoxue, why do I feel that there is something wrong with her hostility and hatred towards me?”
“...” Gong Tianhao comforted her, “Maybe she knows that you have the space of the jade pendant and wants to take it from you.”
“Is that so?” Xiao Lingyu was slightly suspicious. She still felt that something was wrong.
“Alright, don’t think too much!” Gong Tianhao held her in his arms and said, “No matter what enmity Leng Piaoxue has towards us, we will protect ourselves.”
From the moment she made her move to kill Xiao Lingyu, Gong Tianhao had never thought of letting Leng Piaoxue go.
Moreover, she had another immortal artifact in her hands and could use the invisibility technique. This was a huge hidden danger for them. Their lives wouldn’t be safe if they didn’t remove this threat!
Xiao Lingyu frowned and said, “But she is now Jiang Tao’s fiancée. They may be husband and wife in the future. Will it affect Jiang Tao if we treat her like this?”
Gong Tianhao said with certainty, “Jiang Tao will not marry her!” Such a vicious and ruthless woman was not worthy of Jiang Tao at all.
Xiao Lingyu shook her head and said, “That’s hard to say. Relationships are unpredictable. What if, in the future, Jiang Tao really falls in love with Leng Piaoxue? They are now engaged. If we do this, will it...” affect Gong Tianhao and Jiang Tao’s friendship?
Gong Tianhao smiled and said, “No! Jiang Tao is a person who knows right from wrong.”
Xiao Lingyu sighed and said, “In any case, I feel that we have let down Jiang Tao.” It didn’t feel easy destroying a marriage.
Gong Tianhao comforted her, “Tao Zi can always find a woman he likes! However, we still have to give Tao Zi a warning.”
After all, dealing with Leng Piaoxue did not mean dealing with her alone. Instead, it meant dealing with the entire Leng family behind her.
It seemed that the Gong family was destined to become enemies with the Leng family!
As for Jiang Tao’s side, now that Jiang Tao held great power in the Jiang family, no one could easily influence his marriage.
...
In the middle of the night, in the Gong family’s children’s room, Xiao Letong used an illusion to turn the two pillows into illusionary Xiao Letong and Xiao Ling. They were lying on the bed, sleeping. As long as no one deliberately tested their breathing, no one would suspect that these two people were fake.
Seeing this illusion, Xiao Ling’s eyes sparkled with stars. He said in admiration, “Brother, you’re so powerful!”
Xiao Letong clapped his hands and said with a smile, “This is just a small matter!”
“No, you’re really powerful!” Xiao Ling said very seriously, “I remember that cultivator at the fifth level of Qi cultivating stage shouldn’t be so powerful.”
Xiao Letong said, “Ling ‘Er, have you forgotten? I only look like I’m at the fifth level of the Qi cultivating stage, but my soul is very powerful.”
Xiao Ling immediately reacted and nodded, “Oh, yes. Big Brother was once a mighty figure in the Mahayana stage.”
Xiao Letong suddenly held Xiao Ling’s hand and said very seriously, “Alright, let’s not talk anymore. While everyone is sleeping, let’s hurry up and leave. We’ll go early and come back early!”
After saying that, he took out two yellow talisman papers and stuck one on each of them. Then, their figures disappeared from the room.
A moment later, they arrived outside a villa.
“Brother, the smell of blood here is so strong!” Outside the empty room, no one could be seen, but a voice could be heard. If someone else were there, they would think they had encountered a ghost.
Then, another young and clear voice said, “A lot of murders have occurred here, so the smell of blood is strong.”
“Murders?” Xiao Ling frowned. “Isn’t the punishment severe for murders in this world? How come they haven’t been punished?”
“Silly!” Xiao Letong said, “That’s because they haven’t been discovered. So...” At this point, Xiao Letong’s eyes lit up. He suddenly thought of something and said, “Oh, I got it!”
Xiao Ling said in puzzlement, “Brother, what are you thinking?”
Xiao Letong said, “I feel that killing Leng Piaoxue is not worth it. Moreover, even though she has an immortal artifact, she is still an ordinary person.
“If I kill her directly, I will suffer a backlash. That will be troublesome.
“But I suddenly thought of the best revenge. This will make her suffer more than death. Eh, Ling ‘Er, what’s wrong with you?”
Xiao Ling wrinkled his nose and said in confusion, “Brother, I can sense the aura of that immortal artifact, but I can sense that it’s very familiar.”
“What?” Xiao Letong was shocked. “Let’s go and find out what immortal artifact it is!”
Xiao Letong held Xiao Letong’s hand and walked into the villa openly.
“Here!” Xiao Ling pointed in a direction. “This way...”
Not long after, Xiao Ling pointed to a room and said, “Brother, the immortal artifact is in this room.” When he said this, he wrinkled his nose and said with some doubt and worry, “The smell of blood coming from this room is so strong. How many people have died here?”
The smell of the immortal artifact was very familiar to Xiao Ling. However, when he smelled the thick smell of blood, Xiao Ling was worried that the artifact had committed murder. Once the immortal artifact went on a killing spree, it would become a demon. He didn’t like the idea of the immortal artifact becoming a demon artifact at all!
After a moment of silence, Xiao Letong said, “Ling ‘Er, let’s go in and take a look!”
With that, they went through the door!
When they went in to take a look, the smell of blood filled the air and rushed into their nostrils, almost causing them to vomit.
The two of them focused their attention and blocked their sense of smell.
They looked around and found that the room looked spacious and elegant. There was pink everywhere. However, there were many vengeful souls wandering around in a daze.
Xiao Letong and Xiao Ling ignored them. The first thing they saw was the woman on the bed.
When Xiao Ling suddenly touched the red rope on her wrist, his eyes widened in disbelief.
