The Ice King's Little Trouble Maker-Chapter 678 - 640 Yao Mountain Island

After hanging up with Qian Laoer.

Gu Yanjing immediately called Qiao Yuxian again, but still couldn’t get through.

"What’s wrong?" Yan An asked.

Gu Yanjing said, "Couldn’t get through."

As he spoke, he quickly opened Qiao Yuxian’s messages.

[Gu Yanjing, Grandpa Nine has been poisoned and passed out. The situation is very dangerous and not good, I must return to Yao Mountain Island immediately.]

[Don’t worry about me. I’ve taken Huang Qi with me.]

[I’m fine with the poison, and Huang Qi will help to regulate my body. Shi Tan said Huang Qi is very skilled, you don’t need to worry about my health.]

[Don’t worry about my safety either, there are people I trust on Yao Mountain Island. It’s my territory, no one dares to do anything to me, and no one can.]

[I might not be able to receive messages during the flight, so be sure to let me know once things are settled on your end.]

Yan An watched as Gu Yanjing’s expression grew colder and asked, "What’s wrong?"

Gu Yanjing looked at the time Qiao Yuxian sent the message and said, "She’s gone back to Yao Mountain Island."

"Has something happened on Yao Mountain Island?" Yan An asked.

In the car, Shang Chen and Ge Hong both looked over.

"Mr. Huo Jiu has been poisoned, and the situation is not good." Gu Yanjing said.

Yan An was stunned for a moment before quickly saying, "There’s a traitor on Yao Mountain Island, wouldn’t it be dangerous for Yu Xian to go there?"

Gu Yanjing said nothing.

Seeing his expression, Yan An felt she had spoken too hastily and was about to offer comfort.

Shang Chen suddenly spoke up, "Yao Mountain Island is Miss Qiao’s territory, she knows it well, and she can move more freely there. Although the enemy is in the shadows, she is already prepared. Miss Qiao seems to be poisoned in the eyes of outsiders, so they will let their guard down. Considering Miss Qiao’s abilities, it’s not a major problem."

Gu Yanjing looked at Shang Chen.

He indeed had a point.

For Qiao Yuxian, Yao Mountain Island was different from other places.

There, she was carefree, wild, and unrestrained. There, she seemed to be another version of herself, revealing another side of her.

Perhaps it had something to do with her having lived there for a long time, making her more adapted to it.

"Shang Chen’s reasoning is also sound." Yan An said.

Gu Yanjing nodded in agreement and responded to Qiao Yuxian’s message.

[Matters on Gu Zhengyu’s end have been resolved, but we couldn’t save Yan Ting, as Yan Jiu likely took him away.]

[Mom is with me, so you don’t need to worry. Take care of yourself, prioritize safety above all.]

[There are still some things to handle here at Yujing Manor, once sorted, I’ll come to find you immediately.]

Yujing Manor belonged to Gu Yanjing, and not many people knew about this.

At this time, someone had attacked Yujing Manor, warranting his caution.

He needed to thoroughly clean up, leaving no future threats.

Otherwise, he would be facing dangers from all sides, with hidden dangers everywhere, unable to move freely.

...

Upon arriving at Yao Mountain Island, Qiao Yuxian rushed to see Mr. Huo Jiu.

She arrived at the door of his room just as Huo Yanxin was escorting the doctors out.

"Sis." Qiao Yuxian noticed her slightly swollen eyes.

Huo Yanxin paused upon seeing her and asked, "Why are you back?"

"How is Grandpa Nine?" Qiao Yuxian couldn’t wait to ask about Mr. Huo Jiu’s condition, gripping her hand.

Seeing they had things to discuss, the two doctors left first.

Huo Yanxin glanced at the two people behind Qiao Yuxian.

One was Huang Qi, and the other was wrapped up tightly. From head to toe, not a single hair visible, with their head bowed low.

Huo Yanxin gave her another look, then turned to Qiao Yuxian and said, "The situation isn’t good. We brought in many doctors and medical equipment from M Continent, but there’s been little progress; he remains in a coma."

"I’ll go see Grandpa Nine." Qiao Yuxian walked inside.

Huo Yanxin noticed her pale face and dark circles, signs of fatigue, but she was keeping herself together with sheer will. She wanted to say something, but her lips moved without producing a sound, ultimately following her into Mr. Huo Jiu’s room.

As soon as she entered the room, Qiao Yuxian saw Yan Ting first.

Yan Ting sat by Mr. Huo Jiu’s bedside, and upon hearing footsteps, looked towards the door.

Their eyes met, both pausing momentarily.

"Sister." Yan Ting looked at her state, frowning deeply.

His eyes, like scanners, assessed her from head to toe, finally resting on her face, seeing her red eyes.

Yan Ting’s concern was written all over his face, impossible to hide.

Qiao Yuxian glanced at him, then quickly moved to the bedside, looking at Mr. Huo Jiu.

Mr. Huo Jiu lay on the bed with eyes closed, looking unwell, with weak breathing.

His vitals could only be monitored through the nearby medical device.

Yan Ting quickly stood to give her his seat.

Qiao Yuxian noticed Yan Ting stagger slightly as he rose, looking at him. She realized he was bandaged all over.

His upper body, almost the entire body.

Moreover, his arm seemed to move with difficulty.

Thus, he couldn’t wear clothes, merely wrapping a jacket around himself.

His face was also pale, lips white, eyes bloodshot, and he bore scratches on his face.

Qiao Yuxian felt he appeared as though he’d been tortured on the ground for days.

"It’s fine." Yan Ting said as he noticed her gaze, "Sit here."

Qiao Yuxian didn’t move.

She felt Yan Ting’s current physical condition seemed worse than hers, fearing he might collapse at any moment.

Huo Yanxin pulled over another chair, "Both of you should sit, our family isn’t lacking chairs."

Qiao Yuxian only then sat down.

Yan Ting sat down as well.

Qiao Yuxian glanced at Yan Ting, said nothing, and turned her focus back to Mr. Huo Jiu.

She sat beside the bed, looking at him, gently holding his hand, softly calling, "Grandpa Nine."

The only response was the sound of the machine beside her.

She called out again.

There was still no response, noticing Mr. Huo Jiu had no reaction. Clenching her fingers tightly, she bit her lip to hold back her tears.

Huo Yanxin stood behind her, watching her shoulders tremble from uneven breathing, and gently squeezed her shoulder.

Qiao Yuxian couldn’t hold back any longer, tears rolling down her face.

She raised her hand to cover her mouth, muffling her sobs.

Yan Ting struggled to pull out two tissues for Huo Yanxin.

Huo Yanxin wiped her own eyes with the back of her hand, crouching down to gently wipe Qiao Yuxian’s tears, "It’s okay, don’t cry." 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Qiao Yuxian nodded in acknowledgment.

Listening to her restrained sobs, Yan Ting’s eyes reddened even more.

"I brought doctors from home." Qiao Yuxian quickly told Huo Yanxin.

"The two outside?" Huo Yanxin swiftly held back her tears; there were still many matters she had to handle, she had to be strong.

"Yes." Qiao Yuxian nodded, "They have been treating me all along. Although they haven’t found a way to cure the poison in me, I’ve remained stable."

"Okay." Huo Yanxin replied, "I’ll call them in."

"Yes."
