I rely on the system to support my eighteen brothers and sisters

After hesitating for a moment, Qiao Linbao still refused: "Thank you for your kindness, Brother Xiao, but I still have to ask my sister Lin Xi. My brother Lin Tang is only three years old, and I'm afraid he can't handle the long journey."

Looking at Qiao Linbao's back, Tong Yu shook his head helplessly: "No one can change what this kid has decided."

Qiao Linbao, holding an oil-paper umbrella, had not walked a few steps out of the door when he met Qiao Linshan who was returning from the cemetery.

"Hey, Sister Lin Xi."

Qiao Linbao recognized Qiao Linxi's carriage and trotted after it. Zhang Huawei didn't know Qiao Linbao, but when he saw a boy trying to stop the carriage, he stopped.

"Brother Zhang? What's wrong?" Qiao Linshan, who was in the carriage, felt strange. Zhang Huawei seemed to be driving very steadily, so why did he suddenly rein in the horse?

"Sister Lin Xi? Where are you going in such heavy rain?"

Hearing Qiao Linbao's voice, Qiao Linshan opened the curtain and saw him standing outside.

"Sister Lin Shan?" Qiao Linbao was puzzled. "I thought it was Sister Lin Xi."

"Sister Lin Xi has been missing for the past few days."

Qiao Linbao was stunned: "What do you mean missing?"

"Let's talk in the car."

Qiao Linbao got on the carriage, and Qiao Linshan told him what had happened.

Qiao Linbao was very surprised: "You mean Sister Lin Xi left on the day it started raining and never came back?"

Qiao Linshan nodded: "Brother Zhang said that she went to the cemetery, and was with several tall and big men riding horses and carrying knives."

Qiao Linshan's description reminded Qiao Linbao of Xiao Ji and his group, and the cemetery. This made him certain that Qiao Linxi was with Xiao Ji and his group that day.

"Let's go and take a look. Maybe Sister Lin Xi is in that cave."

"What cave? Brother Zhang took us there just now, but there was only a small lake there, and no cave was seen."

"What? There is no hole?" Qiao Linbao's mind was a little confused, and he wanted to sort it out carefully: "You said that Sister Lin Xi and Brother Xiao went to the cave together, and now she has not come back, and the cave has become a lake."

"Yes, you are learning martial arts from Brother Xiao. Have you seen Sister Lin Xi?"

Qiao Linbao shook his head, and he finally realized why Xiao Ji had stopped him from looking for Qiao Linxi. It was because he knew Qiao Linxi was not there.

But why did he know that Qiao Linxi was not there?

"Turn around, we'll go ask Brother Xiao and find out where Sister Lin Xi is."

When they arrived at Xiao Ji's yard, they were still packing their luggage. Because it was raining heavily, they changed from riding horses to riding carriages.

"Brother Xiao..."

Seeing Qiao Linbao coming back, Xiao Ji didn't think much about it and thought he had figured it out.

"Have you figured it out? Boys should have their own opinions and shouldn't ask a girl about everything."

Before he knew about Qiao Linxi's accident, Qiao Linbao didn't think there was anything wrong with what Xiao Ji said, and even thought that what Xiao Ji said made sense. But now when he heard it again, he felt that it was abnormal.

Qiao Linxi once saved Xiao Ji's life, and Xiao Ji himself said that he would remember the favor for the rest of his life. Even if he didn't like Qiao Linxi, he shouldn't have said such a thing.

"I don't plan to leave with the master. I came here to ask Brother Xiao, have you seen my sister Lin Xi?"

"How would I know where your sister is?" Xiao Ji didn't dare to look into Qiao Linbao's eyes, but looked away.

"My driver said that he saw you and my sister Lin Xi together that day. If you know, please tell me."

"Lin Bao, what's wrong?" Tong Yu walked over and looked at Qiao Linbao and Qiao Linshan.

"Master, my sister Lin Xi is missing. She was with Brother Xiao that day, so I asked him."

"Boy, do you know who my master is? How dare you question him?"

When Xiao Ji's followers saw Qiao Linbao asking Xiao Ji, they came over with a very bad attitude.

"Don't think you can be so arrogant just because you are Tong Yu's apprentice. Look for your sister somewhere else. How could you not know if we have your sister here?"

"I just asked Brother Xiao if he had seen my sister. Why are you reacting so strongly? Could it be that my sister's disappearance has something to do with you?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Sister Lin Shan told me that the hole in the cemetery has now become a lake. What happened on the rainy day? Why didn't my sister come back?"

"How should we know?"

Qiao Linbao turned to stand in front of Xiao Ji and stared at him: "I know there is a tomb there, and only my sister Lin Xi can open that tomb. You went out that day and came back in the rain, with some dirt on your body. Did my sister go to the tomb with you? Did she have an accident? Or did you kill people after getting what you wanted..."

"You little brat, who are you to question my master? We didn't kill your sister."

"You went to the tomb together, and you all have martial arts skills, why don't you bring my sister out?"

Qiao Linbao already knew that something had happened to Qiao Linxi, otherwise these people wouldn't have reacted so strongly.

"Even if you didn't kill my sister, you watched her die without helping her. Otherwise, how could you not bring back a girl when so many of you went there that day?"

As he spoke, Qiao Linbao's eyes turned red. He looked into Xiao Ji's eyes and said, "My sister saved your life. You said you would protect my sister for the rest of her life. Is this how you protect her?"

"Lin Bao, calm down."

"How can I be calm? You killed my sister. I was trying to find my sister just now, but you kept stopping me. It turns out you knew something happened to my sister."

"I thought you were loyal people, haha, it turns out you are all a bunch of heartless people."

"Qiao Linbao! Do you know who my master is? He is the current prince. If you dare to speak to the prince like this, believe it or not, my master will exterminate all nine generations of your clan."

"Prince..."

I thought Qiao Linbao would be apprehensive when he learned of Xiao Ji's identity, and I didn't expect him to laugh sarcastically: "You are indeed a heartless person. My sister saved you, but you didn't even tell her your identity. Why? Are you afraid that she will rely on you if she knows that you are a noble prince?"

"Lin Bao," Tong Yu pulled Qiao Lin Bao, "You shouldn't speak to the master in this tone."

"Master, my sister saved him, but he repaid her with hatred."

"Who killed your sister? She fell into the deep pit when the tomb collapsed and was buried. Who can she blame when she doesn't have the ability to get out?"

"Qiao Linbao, we didn't kill your sister." Xiao Ji patiently explained to Qiao Linbao: "I was holding her up the cave, but she was hit by the falling mud and fell to the bottom of the cave. I didn't have time to save her and she was buried."

"I don't believe it. You must have watched me die without helping me. You are so ungrateful. Aren't you afraid of being awakened by nightmares at night?"

After saying that, Qiao Linbao glanced at Xiao Ji and turned away, saying as he walked away: "My elder sister is like a mother. If you don't save her, you are killing her. I, Qiao Linbao, will remember the murder of my mother for the rest of my life."
