The Ice King's Little Trouble Maker-Chapter 481 - 445 Help???????

Yuan Wei stood there bewildered as he was pushed out.

Not only that, the remaining three stepped back very harmoniously.

Creating a distance from him.

Qiao Yuxian’s gaze fell on Yuan Wei.

Under Qiao Yuxian’s stare, Yuan Wei looked around, paused, and said softly, "Sis, you suddenly left a note last night saying you were coming to the Twelfth Floor. You didn’t return, and you weren’t answering your phone. I thought you were in danger."

"I texted you later," Qiao Yuxian said, somewhat bewildered, "And you replied to me."

She even doubted if there was a time-space glitch and didn’t want to acknowledge her brother’s train of thought.

"Yes." Yuan Wei’s voice grew more subdued, "I thought you were signaling us for help."

"Huh?????" Qiao Yuxian asked.

Gu Yanjing saw Qiao Yuxian’s expression and felt it was as if there were a bunch of question marks over her head.

Yuan Wei looked at her, then at Gu Yanjing, and simply said, "I thought you and Gu Yanjing were trapped by people from the Twelfth Floor. I thought you were subtly sending me an SOS. I, I even considered calling Shang Chen. But thinking it over, I felt we could handle it. Too many people might attract attention."

After speaking, Yuan Wei promptly took a step back.

Qiao Yuxian looked at him, unable to recover for a long time.

She couldn’t believe what she was hearing.

"You..." Qiao Yuxian glanced at him, then over to the four people behind him, "Did you all agree with his idea?"

The four pursed their lips, glanced at her, and then lowered their heads, acknowledging it tacitly.

Qiao Yuxian took a gentle breath.

She looked around, then at them, and eventually laughed in exasperation.

She suddenly broke into a smile that made the five of them shiver.

Gu Yanjing raised an eyebrow slightly.

Are they that afraid of her?

What exactly have they gone through?

"Alright, alright. Forget it," Qiao Yuxian said.

The five of them glanced at Qiao Yuxian’s expression secretly, then collectively let out a small sigh of relief.

Qiao Yuxian didn’t say much more but looked at Gu Yanjing and said, "Introductions. Phecda, You Qing."

Sister Ji took off her mask and hat, nodded, and greeted Gu Yanjing.

Sister Ji was mixed-race.

Dominated by Eastern genes, she had striking looks.

Gu Yanjing knew her.

A lot of things in the Nine Emperor Hall were decided by her.

The leader of the Nine Emperor Hall, Dubhe, had never shown up.

Many matters were handled by her.

Qiao Yuxian continued, "Yu Heng, Feng Yulin."

Though Master Heng called himself a master,

he was actually a very clean and refreshing man,

didn’t seem very old, and was handsome.

With a casual and unrestrained demeanor.

"Mr. Gu," he said, "apologies for any offenses."

"It’s nothing," Gu Yanjing replied.

"Yao Guang, Han Mengmeng." Qiao Yuxian said.

Yao Guang always kept her face covered, glanced at Gu Yanjing, then raised her hand and waved, greeting him without speaking.

Gu Yanjing nodded politely.

He looked at her a bit longer.

Under her veil, her figure and demeanor were very similar to Qiao Yuxian.

Even her gestures resembled hers a lot.

Qiao Yuxian continued to introduce, "Yin Yuan, Yang Sheng." 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

Yin Yuan also kept his face covered, staying at the back as if trying to make himself invisible.

He greeted Gu Yanjing and continued to attempt to blend into the background.

"This is Kaiyang, Yuan Wei," Qiao Yuxian said, "you’re familiar with him."

Yuan Wei gave Gu Yanjing a glance, didn’t speak, and continued to stand quietly aside.

After introducing them, Qiao Yuxian introduced Gu Yanjing, "Gu Yanjing, my husband. Also the former owner of the Twelfth Floor."

The five of them nodded along until they realized something was off.

They were taken aback.

Looking at Qiao Yuxian, they couldn’t comprehend what she meant.

Master Heng said, "Wasn’t Aron the former owner?"

Qiao Yuxian said, "That was the former former owner."

"What do you mean?" Phecda was a bit puzzled, "Then who’s the current owner?"

Qiao Yuxian looked at the bewildered five, a little smug expression on her face, "Look over here."

She pointed at herself.

Gu Yanjing watched her with a proud, boasting, happy expression and couldn’t help but smile a bit too.

The confusion in the five’s eyes slowly transformed into delight and disbelief.

Finally, they rushed up to her, surrounding her, "Boss, is what you said true?"

"Boss, you’re not joking, are you?"

"Sis, you beat Gu Yanjing?"

"I knew it, boss is impressive."

"I knew I’d have a connection with the Twelfth Floor."

They chirped a bit.

Gu Yanjing stepped back slightly to give them space.

Qiao Yuxian accepted their compliments.

After she had enough, she said, "It’s actually not through a fight."

"What do you mean?" Phecda asked again, "Not through a fight, then how did you become the owner of the Twelfth Floor?"

Qiao Yuxian smiled softly and whispered, "I received it as a birthday gift. Someone gave it to me as a birthday present."

The five were shocked again, then they looked at Gu Yanjing.

But they found Gu Yanjing looking at his wife, ignoring them.

They all turned back to Qiao Yuxian, continuing to praise her.

"Boss is awesome, securing the Twelfth Floor without lifting a finger."

"Now I can really walk anywhere I want on the M Continent."

"I love you so much, boss."

"We can come here all the time now."

"Now if anyone annoys us, we can just crush them."

...

They chatted outside for quite a while.

Gu Yanjing saw that the temperature outside was dropping, so he told them to return indoors.

Gu Yanjing also went to another building to find Qian Laoer, to ask if anyone was injured.

Laoer said, "Just some scraping and swelling, no big deal. Everyone knew Mr. Gu was celebrating Mrs.’s birthday, knowing it’s bad luck to see blood on such a day. So no one went hard."

"The other party might have noticed we weren’t being aggressive, so they went easy too," Laoer said, "There’s nothing serious."

"Give out some bonuses," Gu Yanjing said.

Even such an enticing statement was delivered in his cold tone.

Qian Laoer agreed.

After that, Gu Yanjing didn’t say much more.

Meanwhile, on Qiao Yuxian’s side, she was criticizing those five.

She hadn’t said anything in front of so many people.

Now with the door closed, she could say whatever she wanted.

"Before making any decisions in the future, think it over," Qiao Yuxian said. "No matter how urgent, think it over. If it was someone else’s trap, you’d already be caught."

"Understood," the five answered.

Qiao Yuxian said, "Don’t wait until something happens to regret what you should have done."

The five nodded.

"Besides, what could happen to me?" Qiao Yuxian said. "If I were really in danger, I’d send out a signal for help. Don’t imagine things on your own again."

This was directed at Yuan Wei.

Yuan Wei pursed his lips, lowering his head.

Qiao Yuxian said, "Did you hear me?"

Yuan Wei softly replied, "I heard."

Qiao Yuxian didn’t chat with them for long and had someone arrange their accommodations.

After everything was settled, she went to the room to find Gu Yanjing.
