He Wenxian's blood froze.
Did Twilight know Qiao Xi? Why was he helping Qiao Xi as soon as he appeared?
Expert Yu was also here with Twilight, and he was the organizer of this eting. When he heard that the two of them were going to compete, he looked excited.
Both won said that they were the Thousand Faces Immortal Doctor, so one of them must be telling the truth. Since they were going to compete, they could see the Thousand Faces Immortal Doctor's restoration technique with their own eyes. This trip was not in vain.
Expert Yu imdiately echoed, "Alright! Mr. Twilight is right. It's settled, then. I don't think Miss He will object!"
Everyone present also wanted to see the Thousand FacesImmortal Doctor's restoration technique. Seeing that the expert had spoken, everyone joined in.
He Wenxian's body stiffened as sweat trickled down her forehead. At this mont, she felt as if she was standing on the edge of a cliff with a group of pursuers behind her. She was in a dilemma.
Expert Yu and Twilight both said that this competition had to be held, but fortunately, the competition was set for tomorrow. He Wenxian still had so ti to prepare. If she rejected the competition now, she would definitely be suspected by everyone.
After a mont of silence, He Wenxian cald down and said with a bitter smile, "Xi Xi, I don't understand why you're doing this. Since you insist on competing, then let's rely on our own abilities. The truth will be revealed tomorrow."
The corners of Qiao Xi's mouth curled up as her beautiful eyes glistened. "Alright! I hope you won't play tricks behind my back, Miss He. If others find out, the image that you've painstakingly maintained for so many years will be ruined!"
"Xi Xi, I've always treated you with sincerity. I was the one who invited you to enter the venue, but you…" He Wenxian lowered her head. "Now that things have co to this, I don't want to argue with you anymore. Just pretend that I was wrong and made the wrong friend."
Qiao Xi had a disdainful expression as she turned around and left coldly.
When she turned around, He Wenxian's expression instantly turned vicious. He Weinian walked to her side and patted her shoulder. He lowered his voice and said, "Don't worry, she won't participate in the competition tomorrow."
He Wenxian said in exasperation, "Who exactly is Twilight? He's actually speaking up for Qiao Xi! She's already so arrogant, so how could she not participate in the competition?"
"There are many reasons why she can't participate in the competition. For example…" He Weinian sneered. "For example, her hand is crippled."
He Wenxian gasped.
He Weinian chuckled. "Interesting! I didn't expect her to be the Thousand Faces Immortal Doctor. She hid it well. No wonder we didn't see her when we went to the rented house."
Qiao Xi was very useful to the He family, so they could not kill her for the ti being. However, they could cripple one of her hands.
This ti, he wanted to teach Qiao Xi a painful lesson and let her know what the consequences of becoming enemies with the He family were!
At this mont, Qiao Xi had already left the hall. She had just walked to the corridor of the lounge when she bumped into soone. A tall man was standing in the long and narrow corridor. When he heard footsteps behind him, he slowly turned around.
He was wearing a black mask, and his eyes were long and cold. His voice was a little unfamiliar. "Miss Qiao."
Qiao Xi's heart trembled as she looked straight into his eyes. His light brown eyes were suffused with a trace of light under the illumination of the lights. These eyes were really too similar, but this person's aura was different from Gu Zheng's.
She smiled at him and took a few steps forward to maintain a normal social distance. "Mr. Twilight, thank you so much for just now."
"Mhm." The man lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes casting a shadow on his eyelids. He took a few steps forward without a trace, and his voice was as elegant as a low cello. "I know you're the Thousand Faces Immortal Doctor."
Qiao Xi raised her eyes in surprise.
The man looked away and said calmly, "I participated in the restoration of Autumn Leaves."
Qiao Xi instantly reacted. Back then, she relied on that incomplete scroll to beco famous in the cultural relic restoration world. At that ti, she was not even 15 years old. After she got to know Kang Jichuan, she had long forgotten about the restoration of cultural relics. As for who restored that incomplete scroll with her back then, she did not rember at all.
Qiao Xi looked at the man in front of her without hiding anything and chuckled. "I'm very curious why you're wearing a mask. Are you ashad of sothing?"
"Yes, I don't look good," Twilight replied indifferently.
Qiao Xi found it funny, and her tone carried a trace of ridicule. "Why do I feel that you're very good-looking?"
