Surprise flashed across She Qi’s face when he saw Xia Luoqiao.
Seeing his shocked expression, Xia Luoqiao couldn’t help feeling happy. She smiled smugly. “Hahaha, She Qi, to think you would have such a day. But I have to say, your current state suits you quite well.”
She Qi faced her mockery expressionlessly before asking mockingly, “Xia Luoqiao, you used your life force to escape from prison just to tell me this?”
She Qi was once the most outstanding Esper in the Xuan Sect. He had mastered many special techniques, including a charm that could change the surrounding magnetic field by expending one’s life force. At that time, She Qi had planted this charm in the bodies of the Four Heavenly Kings so that they could escape if captured. It was also because of this charm that Xia Luoqiao could successfully escape.
Xia Luoqiao felt a little embarrassed. She pretended to be stubborn and straightened her neck. “Don’t think I’ll thank you. In the end, if it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have been caught by Chi Jiao and the rest. She Qi, you actually dared to abandon me. I hate you to death!”
If She Qi had heard this on a normal day, he might have mocked Xia Luoqiao and said that she deserved it, which was why she ended up being used by him.
But at this moment, She Qi looked very disappointed. He lowered his head and sighed. “Xia Luoqiao, I really wanted to groom you, but you misunderstood me. You have truly disappointed me.”
Xia Luoqiao was stunned when she heard that.
What was going on? Shouldn’t she be the one saying that? Why was she being mocked by She Qi instead?
“What nonsense are you spouting? You were the one who schemed against me…” Xia Luoqiao’s voice became weaker when she saw his serious expression.
“Among the Four Heavenly Kings, you are the weakest, but why did I let you have your position? It’s because I value your loyalty. This time, I wanted to test you and see if you could escape from danger with your own strength. In the end, you actually betrayed me.” She Qi sighed.
Xia Luoqiao was too surprised to notice the cold light that flashed across She Qi’s eyes.
“You’re lying to me. You’re clearly using me!” Xia Luoqiao looked at him in disbelief.
She Qi smiled bitterly and did not argue. “Forget it. No matter how I explain, you won’t believe me. You… cough cough cough, you don’t have to worry about me. You can leave.”
She Qi suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood as he coughed. He frowned and looked like he was in pain. Then, his eyes rolled back and he fainted.
Xia Luoqiao was shocked and shouted anxiously, “Lord She Qi!”
Xia Luoqiao couldn’t care less about anything else. She continued to activate her life force to increase the power of her magnetic field, then controlled her shadow clone to break through the cell door and rush in.
Xia Luoqiao untied She Qi and made him lie on the ground. She was so worried that she kept slapping She Qi’s face and crying in distress. “Sob sob, Lord She Qi, I know my mistake. I misunderstood you, I won’t do that anymore. Open your eyes and look at me!”
She Qi looked like he was in great pain. His face was pale and he did not have the strength to open his eyes.
Just as Xia Luoqiao was feeling anxious, footsteps rang out from the corridor not far away. The alarm system in the cell started to ring, and the entire building went on alert.
