Chapter 1076: Chapter 1076: My Name Is Xiaoqi

Su Xingqiao really didn’t want to become a burden to them.

Even though he knew from the moment he insisted on coming with them that he might end up being a burden, he didn’t expect that day to come so soon.

He didn’t care about his own life or death; he actually wanted to work harder to become stronger so that he could truly help them. But in the pursuit, he still didn’t manage to help, instead unexpectedly becoming a burden.

The situation here must be very complicated, definitely not a place to linger for long.

So he truly didn’t want them to stay here.

Han Jing, however, didn’t even glance at her, instead looking at the little girl and asking, "What’s your name?"

"Huh?" The little girl was stunned for a moment before realizing Han Jing was asking her, quickly replying, "My name is Xiaoqi."

Han Jing looked at her and then asked, "Does your family live here?"

Xiaoqi quickly nodded, "Live... in the suburbs."

"You’ve caused us such a big trouble, aren’t you going to let us stay at your place for a while?" Han Jing truly didn’t mean to make things difficult for this little girl; she looked only about fifteen or sixteen, still like a child. Han Jing felt really depressed; she didn’t dare to imagine what they would do if they couldn’t save Brother Qiao.

It all happened in the blink of an eye; just a moment ago, they were marveling at such an evil poison, and the next moment it was upon them. She couldn’t immediately accept this fact.

Although this poison wasn’t immediate, the very thought of it was chilling.

So, she really couldn’t see Xiaoqi in a good light from any angle. How could she have accidentally slipped by the river and pulled Brother Qiao down while she remained safe on the bank? Moreover, she couldn’t even gauge the little girl’s cultivation, which made Han Jing somewhat suspicious of Xiaoqi.

So, whether she really wasn’t intentional or just pretending, Han Jing couldn’t make a conclusion for now. Therefore, she thought it necessary to test her.

First, the girl said her name was Xiaoqi, which was a bit questionable. Although it wasn’t a big problem, it was true that she concealed her real name by giving them just a nickname. Second, when asked if she lived there, she hesitated for a moment before answering, clearly an answer that followed thought rather than instinct.

These two issues couldn’t prove anything, but at least made Han Jing unable to fully believe she was innocent.

What’s more interesting is, when she heard them mention the Puppet Grass poison, she didn’t have any surprise in her expression; instead, she asked if Brother Qiao blamed her.

Ha, driven by a woman’s intuition, Han Jing felt this little girl wasn’t as simple as she seemed.

Especially when Han Jing was considering things, she was extraordinarily meticulous, something even others couldn’t match.

Probably now, besides her, no one suspects this little girl is up to something!

Xiaoqi indeed hesitated for a moment, but didn’t consider for long before nodding, "Alright, no problem, it’s just... just that I’m the only one living at home... you all, you all don’t mind, right?"

Though her words were sincere, Han Jing’s suspicion didn’t waver: "We don’t mind, let’s go."
