After everyone had left, the head of the Qiao family sighed leisurely, and his eyes fell on Qiao Xue, who was full of anger.
"Xiao Xue."
When the words fell, Qiao Xue remained motionless, as if she had not heard them.
Seeing this, Master Qiao smiled helplessly and spoke in a gentle tone.
"Xiaoxue, I have no children in my life, so I adopted you and Qiao Chengqian. Although you two are my nieces and nephews, I have always raised you as my own children."
After hearing this, Qiao Xue's expression recovered a little.
She looked deeply at Patriarch Qiao, "I have always remembered Patriarch's great kindness, and I never dare to forget it for a moment."
"I am not telling you this to repay a favor."
Hearing this, Patriarch Qiao smiled helplessly again, with a hint of bitterness on his face.
"It's just that the failure of this operation, coupled with Sun Jian's sneak attack on the forbidden technique, gave me an ominous premonition."
"What's the meaning?"
Qiao Xue was stunned for a moment, her beautiful face full of doubts.
"You were in seclusion a few days ago and didn't know it."
The head of the Qiao family sighed and explained: "The high-end aristocratic families and the Huadu aristocratic families broke up with each other and assembled two groups of elite teams, intending to annihilate the Yang Tian lineage headed by them, and then take Huadu under their banner."
"Yang Tian?"
At the mention of this name, Qiao Xue suddenly realized.
"So, Sun Jian is one of the people involved in this operation, and Yang Tian is the target of his elimination?"
"No wonder Yang Tian chased him into the formation and wanted to kill him."
No wonder she had just let Yang Tian go, and these family heads were so angry.
However, even though she figured it out, Qiao Xue had no regrets at all.
Not to mention, she originally disapproved of the high-end aristocratic family's behavior of taking advantage of everything.
Even if she really wants to deal with Yang Tian, she will never use the formation, but face to face with him in a fair contest.
After thinking about it, Qiao Xue said: "If action fails, then take action. Failure is not a big deal. The main thing is Sun Jian..."
"No, you don't understand the seriousness of the matter."
Before Qiao Xue finished speaking, the head of the Qiao family interrupted with a look of helplessness.
He looked at Qiao Xue deeply and said in a difficult tone, "It has been a day since the elite team set off. However, except for Sun Jian, we have not seen any of the disciples come back."
"Also, Cheng Qian is also involved in this operation."
After the words fell, Qiao Xue was stunned for a moment.
Her head seemed to have been hit hard by a sap, and she was stunned for a long time before she realized what she meant.
The next moment, her heart skipped a beat and she exclaimed.
"You mean to say that the entire elite team was wiped out, including Qiao Chengqian... How is this possible?!"
As far as Qiao Xue knew, the cultivation level of the monks from the Huadu family was far inferior to that of the disciples from high-end families, let alone these carefully selected elite disciples.
These people all set out together. Let alone the Huadu family, no matter how powerful the family was, they would never be their opponent.
But now, the head of the Qiao family said that their entire army was wiped out?!
Even her cousin died in this operation?!
How is this possible?!
How did these monks from the Huadu family do it?
Could it be that it has mutated?!
Looking at Qiao Xue's shocked expression, the head of the Qiao family felt very unhappy.
If the facts weren't already before his eyes, even he wouldn't dare to believe it.
Their sworn annihilation operation ended up ruining all their new generation of elite disciples, and dealt a huge blow to all high-end aristocratic families.
