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

The system was silent. This made Qiao Linxi a little puzzled. In the past, the system's voice had been chattering in Qiao Linxi's brain, but why was it so quiet today after she entered the city?

"Little Chuchu?"

Qiao Linxi called a few times before the system responded.

"Well, what do you want, Master Host?"

Qiao Linxi: ...

"I said, why didn't you tell me the information about Gu Changfeng?"

"Which Gu Changfeng?"

Qiao Linxi: ...

"I don't know either. I can't see that Gu Changfeng clearly, not as clearly as I can see Wei Dasheng. I always feel that Gu Changfeng is a ball of fog, blurry and unclear, and there is also an inexplicable sense of fear. I have been in the system world for so long, and this is the first time I have met someone who makes me feel scared. And I feel like he has seen through me."

This was the first time the system spoke to Qiao Linxi in such a serious tone.

Qiao Linxi was also silent. Is Gu Changfeng so powerful? He could see that she had a plug-in system.

"Then I'll just stay away from him from now on."

"Master Host, the people and things that a person will meet in his life are already predetermined. Perhaps this Gu Changfeng and you are not destined to be together yet."

"What a bullshit fate," Qiao Linxi said anxiously, "You said you couldn't see who he was, and you said our fate hadn't ended yet. Can you really see through him? If you can, tell me the truth, so I can know who he is. I have a clue in my heart, too."

"It's all up to fate."

Qiao Linxi was angered by the system again. She ignored "it", straightened her clothes, and walked towards the place where the group of children were outside the city in the moonlight.

"Sister Lin Xi..."

Qiao Linbao was wandering anxiously at the foot of the city gate, but worried about the safety of others, so he walked back. Before he reached the place where others were resting, he saw from afar that the city gate was opened. He walked towards Qiao Linxi with surprise to greet her.

"Lin Bao?"

When she saw Qiao Linbao, Qiao Linxi felt her heart drop at once, and she felt a sense of belonging. She subconsciously regarded these 18 brothers and sisters as her own brothers and sisters.

Although they are fleeing famine now, Qiao Linxi feels that home is where the people are.

"Hey, sis, are you okay?"

Qiao Linxi tugged at his clothes and said, "It's okay. Are my brothers and sisters all right?"

Qiao Linbao noticed Qiao Linxi's clothes. It was not the one she wore when she went into the city. Although this dress was a little too big, it was obvious that the texture was very good. It didn't look like something ordinary people would wear at all, but rather like something a lady from a wealthy family would wear. It was all made of famous silk.

"Everything is fine. We are just worried about you." Qiao Linxi was fine, and Qiao Linbao breathed a sigh of relief. The two walked towards the other children. After a few steps, Qiao Linbao asked Qiao Linxi, "Sister Linxi, have you seen Sister Xiao and the others?"

"I saw them, but they have a little problem. Let's ignore them. Let's move forward while it's cooler at night."

Qiao Linbao did not ask any further questions. When he arrived at the place where the other children were resting, the older children gathered around him and asked about his well-being, which made Qiao Linxi feel very happy.

"Sister, what delicious food did you bring?"

Qiao Linqi licked his lips. He still remembered what Qiao Linxi said.

"I'm sorry, we still have to eat steamed buns tonight. Something happened when we went into the city, and I couldn't bring back any other food."

"It's okay, sister. Steamed buns are good too and can fill your stomach." Qiao Linbao comforted Qiao Linxi. He knew that something big must have happened when Qiao Linxi went to the city this time.

There were already a few steamed buns stored in the system, and none of the ones from lunch and dinner had been taken out. There were fifteen in total, but it was still not enough for nineteen people. Qiao Linxi had no choice but to exchange gratitude points for wishing points, and exchanged a few more, so that everyone got a steamed bun.

"Sister, who is that? He's been standing there."

Qiao Linqin nudged Qiao Linxi with her elbow and pointed to the city gate in the distance. Qiao Linxi looked up and saw a white figure standing there, like a ghost in the night.

"Don't worry about him. Eat quickly. Then we can go for a walk. This place is too unsafe."

Qiao Linxi knew that it was Gu Changfeng. She really didn't know what Gu Changfeng was trying to do and why he was staring at her.

A group of children ate their steamed buns in a hurry and were about to get up and continue on their journey when several people walked towards them.

"It's Sister Xiao and the others."

Xiao Liu and his men were defeated by Gu Changfeng. When they saw Gu Changfeng leaving, they chased him for a distance but failed to catch up. After searching the city for a while but failing to find any trace of Gu Changfeng, they decided to leave the city and tell the children.

Qiao Linxi looked up and could no longer see Gu Changfeng. Xiao Liu and others were getting closer under the moonlight.

"Ms. Lin Xi, you're back?" Xiao Liu was a little surprised. Why would Gu Changfeng let her come back if he was so interested in this girl?

"Yeah." Qiao Linxi was no longer as enthusiastic about Xiao Liu as before. She had already made up her mind to draw a line between herself and Xiao Liu. She was just a small peasant girl and didn't want to get involved with these big shots.

"Are you OK?"

Xiao Liu's concern contained a lot of meaning. As a person with a 32-year-old soul, Qiao Linxi naturally understood what he was asking about.

"It's okay. Thank you Mr. Xiao Liu for your concern. Also, here are your medicines..."

Qiao Linxi picked up the medicine bag from the ground and handed it to Xiao Liu: "Since Mr. Xiao Liu's people are here, let them take care of you. We still have to move forward."

Looking at the medicine, Xiao Liu felt very uncomfortable. It was because of him that the little girl was in danger. It was understandable that she wanted to draw a line between them. They were just a group of ordinary children and could not be in danger again because of him.

"Here are some pastries and cooked food. Thank you for saving my life today. If you need me in the future, I will go through fire and water for you without hesitation."

Qiao Linxi took the things Xiao Liu handed over without hesitation, and then took the jade pendant that Qiao Linqin had given to him for safekeeping and returned it to Xiao Liu: "This jade pendant must be very important to Mr. Xiao Liu. I will return it to you. As for the life-saving grace you mentioned, these foods can be used as a compensation, and Mr. Xiao Liu does not need to take it to heart in the future."

After saying that, Qiao Linxi looked at the moon in the sky and said, "It's cool now, and we still have to move forward. So, let's do this."

Qiao Linxi shouted at the group of kids to get up, then left without looking back, which made Xiao Liu feel a little disappointed.

"Master, did you notice that the jade pendant on that girl's neck seems to be Manager Gu's. He never takes off the jade pendant, but now he gave it to this little girl."

Xiao Liu looked at Qiao Linxi's back and murmured, "Perhaps, Manager Gu really likes Miss Linxi."

"But isn't Chief Steward Gu a eunuch? How can he still..."
