My junior sister pretends to be good and deceives people every day

Chapter 82: Scoundrel!!!

Huaixi was stunned for a moment, his eyes full of confusion.

"Take me away?"

Yan Zhiqiao looked at him seriously.

——Brother Qian is not a good person, he is cheating you.

As expected, these words elicited Huaixi's rebuttal.

"Impossible! Brother Qian is so good to me, how could he lie to me?"

After a pause, he stretched out his slender fingertips and poked Yan Zhiqiao's forehead.

"Qiao Qiao, you can't doubt him just because he didn't heal you."

The corners of Yan Zhiqiao's mouth twitched slightly, and a deep feeling of powerlessness surged in his heart.

——What would happen if you picked me up and found me seriously injured?

Huaixi went back without thinking.

"Of course I will treat your injuries as soon as possible..."

Before the last word fell, he suddenly stopped, and a hint of hesitation appeared on his handsome face.

——Would you leave the injured person in a birdcage to die?

"……Won't."

Huaixi turned around and looked at the empty and hard birdcage with a frown.

——I know he is good to you, but have you ever thought that he might have other intentions?

—And he won’t let you out.

——Although he said so in the name of protecting you, you didn’t see the people who wanted to arrest you with your own eyes. How can you prove that what he said is true?

It would be futile to beat around the bush with such a simple-minded person, so Yan Zhiqiao simply exposed the truth.

Without waiting for Huaixi to find an excuse for Brother Qian, she continued to slide her claws.

——Even if my prediction is wrong and Brother Qian is a good person, are you willing to stay here and ask him to help you find friends?

The answer to this question is obvious.

Huaixi was unwilling.

He shook his head.

——So you have to come with me, you help me heal my wounds, and I will help you find friends.

——If you feel bad about sneaking away, just leave some pearls for Brother Qian as a reward. It won’t be too late to come back and thank him when you find him.

"Steal away..."

Huaixi felt like a thief and leaned back on his arms with some hesitation.

"Can't you tell Brother Qian? He should agree to let me go."

——You must have mentioned to him more than once that you wanted to go out and find friends in person. Did he agree?

"……No."

Huaixi didn't want to doubt Brother Qian's character because Brother Qian had been taking care of him very well in recent times.

But he really didn't want to trouble Brother Qian again for helping him find Xiao Lan.

So he was somewhat moved by Yan Zhiqiao's words.

However, he did not agree immediately, fearing that this would hurt Brother Qian's feelings.

"Let me think about it."

Yan Zhiqiao did not force Huaixi, but only gave him cautious instructions.

——No matter what choice you make, don’t tell Brother Qian about this.

Huaixi nodded.

----

The next day, noon.

As usual, Brother Qian came to the bathroom carrying a lunch box.

Seeing that the little monster seemed to be asleep in the nest, and Huaixi was touching her hair with great interest, he deliberately slowed down his steps and put down the food box.

"Huaixi, I'm sorry, the pearls haven't been sold yet, and I don't have the spirit stones to buy the elixir for now."

Huaixi has always been considerate. If he had heard Brother Qian's words before, he would not only not take it to heart, but would also comfort Brother Qian instead.

But after Yan Zhiqiao's deliberate "provokation" last night, the look in his eyes when he looked at Brother Qian had a little more subtlety and complexity.

He had given pearls to Brother Qian before, and Brother Qian sold them very quickly. He also told the store owner that he thought the pearls were of very good quality and had paid a high price for them.

Why can’t it be sold now?

Either they don't treat me, or they only give me low-grade elixirs, and now I don't have any spirit stones...

Why do I feel like Brother Qian doesn't want Qiao Qiao to get better?

Then why did he save Qiao Qiao in the first place?

Huaixi couldn't figure out the contradiction here, so he could only hold it back for the time being and shook his head.

"It's ok."

He asked again the next second.

"Brother Qian, can you give Qiao Qiao some spiritual power?"

Although it was only a moment, Huaixi still clearly caught the obvious resistance that flashed across Brother Qian's face.

His heart sank slightly.

Huaixi is too naive and shows all his worries on his face.

When Brother Qian noticed his expression, he felt a little startled.

In order to avoid arousing Huaixi's suspicion, he agreed even though he was very reluctant.

"it is good."

The spiritual power input into Yan Zhiqiao's body was like entering a bottomless pit.

Brother Qian's eyes flickered slightly, and he quickly withdrew his hand.

"Her internal injuries are too severe. No matter how much spiritual energy she puts in, it will be a drop in the bucket. We can only buy pills to treat her."

Without waiting for Huaixi to speak, he stood up as if he was very anxious.

"Huaixi, I have to go sell the pearls quickly. Leave the food box here for now and I will collect it when I come back."

Huaixi said nothing, just watched Brother Qian disappear at the door.

The originally unwavering trust in him gradually wavered at this moment.

Yan Zhiqiao was not sleeping, but healing.

She discovered something very interesting: the more she used spiritual power to heal her wounds, the more spiritual energy she absorbed into her body.

This way, she hardly ever had to stop.

Born with a spirit, it really is like a bug.

Noticing that Huaixi had become unusually quiet since Brother Qian left, Yan Zhiqiao looked up at him.

"Ow?"

what happened to you?

Huaixi pulled himself out of his thoughts, leaned back on his arms, looked at Yan Zhiqiao, and spoke with some melancholy.

"Qiao Qiao, I feel like Brother Qian... isn't that good either."

Yan Zhiqiao raised his eyebrows slightly and raised his paw at him.

She replied only after Huaixi handed over her wrist obediently.

——Do you believe me now?

Huaixi did not answer, and his expression became even more depressed and confused.

His tribesmen once taught him that if you want to tell whether a person is a good person or not, you can't just look at whether the other person is good to you, but also look at his attitude towards others.

If someone is only nice to himself, then he probably has other intentions.

After all, among the human race, there are too many people with bad intentions who are coveting their mermaid clan.

Looking at Brother Qian's attitude towards him, it was completely different from his attitude towards Yan Zhiqiao, even worlds apart...

Huaixi gritted his teeth, clenched his fist with one hand, and finally made up his mind.

"Qiao Qiao, I'll go with you."

Yan Zhiqiao snorted and slid his claws across his wrist again.

——Don’t believe him, and don’t believe me.

Huaixi can understand the first sentence, but the second sentence...

"Huh? Why?"

It was the first time he heard someone say this about himself.

——Because I’m not a good person.

After the little monster finished writing, it opened its mouth and looked at him with a roar, revealing its sharp claws, as if it wanted to eat him.
