Chapter 270 - 270 Assessment
270 Assessment
Qiao Yanhui pursed his lips slightly. The people who were in charge of helping his mother give birth back then were all dead. There was no way to investigate this matter. No, there might be another clue!
It was Lin Shu!
Lin Shu was the one who plotted all of this back then! She contributed to his mother’s death, making his identity illegitimate. Did Lin Shu know that Qiao Yanqi was fake, and his sister…
All these years, Qiao Yanhui hadn’t taken revenge on Lin Shu, or rather, he hadn’t succeeded. This was because there was also a mysterious faction behind Lin Shu. He had never figured it out, so it could be seen how powerful the other party was.
From Qiao Yanhui’s expression, Xu Qing knew that Qiao Yanhui already had a clue. However, this clue was a little too vague!
At this point, he couldn’t rush this. Otherwise, Qiao Yanhui would only be controlled by Lin Shu, so Qiao Yanhui didn’t dwell on this.
Qiao Yanhui turned around and said to the three children following closely beside him, “Yuan’er, bring your siblings home as soon as possible.”
“Alright!” The three children nodded readily because they knew that their father wanted to test their skills! Of course, they had to perform well.
Because Xue’er couldn’t practice martial arts yet, she could only be brought along by Yuan’er and Ting’er. If the three of them wanted to reach home quickly and safely, Yuan’er and Ting’er had to control their speed. This required tacit understanding.
Qiao Yanhui was very satisfied. He was very gratified that the children could work together! However, since they wanted to test them, it was naturally not that simple. A silver needle wrapped in internal energy flew towards them.
Yuan’er was the first to sense the killing intent behind him. He gave Ting’er a look. Then, the two of them shielded Xue’er to avoid the silver needle behind them at the same time. However, before they could rejoice, a few more hidden weapons attacked from all directions!
Xu Qing looked at Qiao Yanhui, who was shooting hidden weapons, with pursed lips. Although her heart ached for the children, she couldn’t be soft-hearted, or she would only harm them.
The three children worked hard and successfully avoided the attack. Although they were panting, they were still excited. However, the inspection wasn’t over. Qiao Yanhui gave the secret guards in the dark a look. Qiao Jun and Qiao Sheng appeared one after another and attacked the three children.
In an instant, the chaotic battle began. In a fight, they definitely couldn’t defeat the secret guards, but they could outwit them! They used poison and hidden weapons.
Plop! Qiao Jun and Qiao Sheng fell to the ground at the same time. The three children didn’t rejoice and lower their guard down just because of this. Instead, they rushed towards the Qiao family’s house.
When Qiao Yanhui passed by Qiao Jun and Qiao Sheng, he gave them a look, signaling them to get their punishments.
Qiao Jun and Qiao Sheng immediately felt like crying.
When the family arrived at the Qiao family’s door, Qiao Yanhui rushed down with Xu Qing in his arms and looked at the three children who were waiting to be praised.
Qiao Yanhui’s expression was cold as he snatched Yuan’er’s dagger and placed it on Yuan’er’s neck.
Worried, Xu Qing wanted to say something, but in the end, she shut up. When the father educated the children, the mother shouldn’t interfere.
“Do you know what went wrong?” Qiao Yanhui’s voice was cold.
“I know! Before we reached safety, I let down my guard and put myself and my siblings in danger.” Yuan’er had a tense expression.
Ting’er and Xue’er had worried expressions as they grabbed their brother’s hand nervously.
That’s right. Their father didn’t mention that the assessment ended when they reached the Qiao family. Moreover, they were only at the entrance of the Qiao family’s house now. If it wasn’t their father who was chasing after them, but those ruthless killers, they would have been captured now. Ting’er and Xue’er also lowered their heads dejectedly. They hadn’t performed well and made their father unhappy.
Qiao Yanhui returned the dagger to his stubborn eldest son. After a long time, he said, “But you’re very smart. You know that you can’t beat them, so you tried to outwit them. Your sister doesn’t have martial arts skills, so you guys cooperated with each other. I have to praise you on this, so…”
Qiao Yanhui paused with a hint of pride. “So I’m barely satisfied with today’s assessment.”
The three children immediately looked up in surprise. At the same time, they promised not to let their guard down no matter what.
At night, instead of being smug about their father’s praise, they practiced for a while before climbing into bed to sleep.
Qiao Yanhui carried Xu Qing back to his room and gently placed her on the bed. Then, the two of them lay together in each other’s arms. Xu Qing had a smile on her face as she said, “You taught the children well.”
“That’s because our children are smart.” Qiao Yanhui kissed Xu Qing’s hair.
