Chapter 178 is nothing more than that
The next morning, He Jiaojiao brought Zhutian and other companions out of the cave in a very high-profile manner.
As soon as I came out of the cave, I saw an unexpected person.
"Why are you here?"
After understanding the whole story, He Jiaojiao could no longer tell Que Ling the truth. After all, she was just a poor person who was betrayed by her best friend.
"I...I'm just passing by!"
Que Ling replied stubbornly.
He Jiaojiao looked at the cliff. It was really funny that this man couldn't even lie.
However, in order to prevent Que Ling from ruining her plan, He Jiaojiao still wanted to have a good talk with her.
The two came to a tree-lined path. He Jiaojiao found a stone to sit on, then nodded at Que Ling, indicating that she should sit opposite her.
Mo Ran and his other companions consciously walked to a farther place and sat down. Seeing this, Que Ling waved to the companions following behind him, indicating that they should also move further away.
"Tell me, why did you come to see me?"
"No... I'm not..." Que Ling's face turned red, and she refused to admit that she came to find He Jiaojiao.
In fact, He Jiaojiao also roughly guessed the reason why Que Ling came to find her. When she was pregnant, the fetus died unexpectedly, and she never got pregnant again after that.
The females who came to see her last time drank the water dissolved in the pregnancy pill and basically all became pregnant, but she didn't drink it at that time, so there has been no movement until now. After hearing the news, Que Ling was really anxious.
Sometimes, judging someone's goodness requires more than just looking at the surface. Someone like Ali, who appears harmless on the surface, can be truly ruthless when it comes to harming others. It's often people like Que Ling who are mean-spirited but not truly evil on the inside.
So, this is why He Jiaojiao is willing to sit down and chat with Que Ling.
"Que Ling, I want to ask you, do you really still like Zhu Tian?"
He Jiaojiao didn't want to beat around the bush, so she just asked directly.
Que Ling was startled and subconsciously looked towards his partner not far away. Then he turned back to stare at He Jiaojiao and shook his head, "He is your partner!"
He Jiaojiao curled her lips into a smile, very satisfied with this answer. "If that's the case, why did you target me in the first place?"
Que Ling was stunned. "It's because you knew I once liked Brother Zhutian that you've been looking down on me!"
After saying this, both of them were obviously stunned.
He Jiaojiao was quick to notice that this might be Ali's work, so she simply asked a few questions and got confirmation.
"I have something else to do today. Que Ling, you go back first. I'll come find you when I'm done."
After saying this, He Jiaojiao left quickly without looking back, leaving Que Ling standing there with a confused look on his face.
According to what I just said to He Jiaojiao, she doesn't hate me at all. Then why did the relationship between me and He Jiaojiao become like that before?
After thinking about it, Que Ling thought of someone, so he decided to go and ask what was going on.
When Que Ling arrived at Ali's cave, he saw that only Ali and her mermaid partner were in the cave. However, he was not sure whether Ali was doing something bad, so Que Ling pretended to know nothing and walked over.
"Ahri, I came to see you, how are you?"
Ali opened his eyes and saw Que Ling. A hint of joy flashed in his eyes and he hurriedly grabbed Que Ling's hand.
"Que Ling, I didn't expect you to still be willing to come and see me!"
Ali sat up with the help of Que Ling. Que Ling unconsciously wanted to pull her hand back, but Ali was too strong. In order not to alert the enemy, she had to give up the idea temporarily.
"Que Ling, I shouldn't have spoken up for He Jiaojiao. She's a bad woman." Ah Li said, her eyes reddening as tears streamed down her cheeks. "She stole your brother Zhutian, and now she's taken my Amu too. She even wants to take Ruize away..."
Listening to Ali chattering about He Jiaojiao's bad things, Que Ling didn't think much of it before, but now, he always felt a little uncomfortable.
"Not really?" Que Ling said, pretending to be unconvinced. "Didn't you have a good relationship with her before?"
Ahri shook her head and wiped away her tears. "That's because I thought she was a beautiful and kind female. Since she had just arrived in the tribe, I wanted to make friends with her. But I didn't expect that she had so many thoughts behind her back..."
"But I feel like she has a good relationship with her partner. She doesn't seem like the type to be obsessed with someone else's partner. Maybe you misunderstood?"
Seeing that Que Ling, who always hated He Jiaojiao, did not stand on his side at the first time, but instead defended He Jiaojiao, Ali suddenly became a little anxious.
"Que Ling, you must have forgotten that if it weren't for her, Brother Zhutian would definitely become your partner. After all, even the clan leader said so back then."
Despite this, Que Ling knew that Zhutian didn't like her. Although she had initially valued Zhutian, thinking he was capable and good-looking, and wanted him to be her partner, now that she had found a partner, she realized that choosing someone who was truly outstanding wasn't necessary. After all, her previous partners had been truly good to her, and now, in her opinion, they were no worse than Zhutian.
"If it weren't for He Jiaojiao, why would you have chosen so many partners?"
Perhaps Ahri was too impatient, having spoken without restraint in front of Que Ling's companions. By the time she realized what had happened and wanted to make amends, it was already too late. Que Ling's five companions all looked at her with hostility.
"Ah Li, my partners are all very kind to me, and I love them too." Que Ling immediately stated his position. "Besides, Brother Zhutian is already He Jiaojiao's partner, and no one can change that."
Ali's eyes instantly filled with tears, "Que Ling, don't be angry, I'm just speaking up for you..."
Que Ling didn't say anything else. The strange feeling in his heart became stronger and stronger. He simply stood up and said, "I don't think you're in any serious trouble. I'll leave first."
Seeing Que Ling about to leave, Ali was worried that Que Ling would be angry, so he got up and chased after him.
"Que Ling, don't be angry, I just... just..."
"It's okay, I'm not angry. You haven't recovered yet, go back and lie down!"
Watching Que Ling leaving surrounded by his companions, Ali unconsciously clenched his fists. It seemed that Que Ling's love for brother Zhutian was just this much!
Suddenly, she saw a familiar shadow passing through the sky, and soon it landed in front of her.
Looking at the beast in front of her, Ali was stunned. She stared blankly and forgot to speak for a moment.
"Ah Li!" Zhu Tian said coldly, "I hope you can take your partner back and not let him stay with Jiao Jiao anymore."
Seeing Zhutian seemed very angry, Ali suddenly thought of something, a flash of joy appeared in his eyes, and he hurried forward, pretending to ask anxiously.
"Did something happen?"
