Chapter 32 - Suspicion (2/2)

Qin Yuyan shook her head.

“I didn’t eat it, but how could there be less? Is it because you’ve been under too much pressure recently that you’re mistaken, Grandpa?”

Qin Yuyan had not considered Huan Liuli.

That was because even an adult purple-scaled fish could reach a lesser grandmaster level, comparable to a human fourth or fifth-grade martial artist. Furthermore, they were good at group attacks.

When attacking in groups, their strength would increase by several times.

If the Phantom Cat wanted to hunt a large group of purple scaled fish, its cultivation had to be at least at the mid-late stage of the grandmaster level. Which was close to the cultivation of a seventh or eighth-grade martial artist.

That was not possible.

Ye Xiao had not even activated his divine soul. His own cultivation had yet to reach the Houtian third-grade. If Huan Liuli was a grandmaster-level star beast, how would that be possible?

In that case, it would have eaten Ye Xiao. How could it become Ye Xiao’s star pet?

Therefore, that was absolutely impossible!

“Then I must have seen wrongly. There have been too many things on my mind recently. Grandfather is really old!”

Qin Shenglong sighed with emotion and immediately gathered his thoughts.

“Alright, you stay at home. I’ll make a trip to the garrison headquarters first and discuss it with your uncle, Nangong.”

“Okay! Take care, grandpa.”

Qin Yuyan watched as Qin Shenglong left and heaved a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, Grandpa had not activated his grandmaster perception ability. Otherwise, he would have been in big trouble if he had sensed Ye Xiao.

In fact, what she did not know was that Qin Shenglong had activated his perception ability when he felt that he had fewer purple-scaled fish.

However, regardless of whether it was Ye Xiao or Huan Liuli, they were both above the grandmaster realm. When the master and servant duo were trying their best to restrain their auras, his perception ability became blind and he could not sense their existence at all.

Following that, Qin Yuyan hurriedly walked back. When she passed by the pond, she noticed that there were a few pieces of purple fish scales on the side of the pond. It looked like they were not completely dry yet.

That made her pupils involuntarily contract, and her heart suddenly stopped.

Could it be… Something really ate the purple-scaled fish? Could it really have been… Ye Xiao’s star pet?

Her heart suddenly started beating violently.

After taking a deep breath, she immediately ran upstairs.

However, when she arrived at her room, she discovered that Ye Xiao was hugging Huan Liuli and sitting by her bed, gently stroking its fur.

Meanwhile, Huan Liuli was lying meekly in his embrace.

“What’s wrong?”

Ye Xiao spoke indifferently, and Qin Yuyan’s heartbeat gradually calmed down.

“It… It’s nothing.”

If Huan Liuli had eaten the purple-scaled fish, she would have been poisoned by now.

The poison of the purple-scaled fish was something that even grandmasters could not easily resist.

From the looks of it, Huan Liuli was fine, which meant that she was not poisoned.

Therefore, she definitely did not eat the purple-scaled fish.

‘I’m really ridiculous. Why would I have such thoughts?’

If Huan Liuli really could eat the purple-scaled fish, how strong would Ye Xiao be?

With a star pet that had the strength of a grandmaster, that would make Ye Xiao a martial artist above a great sect, or a beastmaster above a grandmaster.

If that was really the case, he would not be working as a librarian in the library.

Also… How old was he?

He was younger than her. Even if he had started cultivating in his mother’s womb, there was no way he would be that strong so quickly.

However, she had not noticed that there was a mouthful of white foam under her slippers, which she had stepped on when she entered the room..
