In the middle of the night, in the dark, damp basement, there was a strange putrid smell, and there were some bats with human faces standing upside down on the ceiling, each with red eyes and twisted faces, obviously in excruciating pain.

Click, footsteps sounded on the stairs, and the human-faced bats looked towards the source of the sound one by one, baring their fangs. When they saw the comer, they seemed to see something fearful, and they flew into the corner, trembling.

With a bang, Jiang Chao was thrown to the ground, and he raised his head in a panic, obviously a little afraid of the person in front of him.

The man's temples were white, but his face was very young, and his long and narrow eyes stared at Jiang Chao coldly.

"Didn't I warn you not to act rashly, and now no one is sure if that thing is on her, have you forgotten?" The man said coldly.

"My lord, spare me this time, I won't dare next time." Jiang Chao got up and knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

"Hmph, because of your stupidity, the Law Enforcement Bureau has noticed us, if it is discovered, it will be a dead end, you can find a way to solve it yourself!" The man snorted coldly, and after speaking, he turned around and left, leaving only Jiang Chao who knelt on the ground.

"My lord, my lord spares my life!"

Without the man's suppression, the human face bat in the corner became active, Jiang Chao heard the movement and looked back, and found a pair of red eyes staring at him, he couldn't help but let out a scream.

The human-faced bats were also blowing up their nests at this time, and they flew towards Jiang Chao, Jiang Chao condensed his axes in horror, and slashed at the human-faced bats one after another, but his speed was not enough to kill so many bats.

There were still some human-faced bats, opening their fangs and biting on him, one, two, three, until countless human-faced bats buried his body.

No one knew that there was a scream coming from this basement in the middle of the night......

……

Qiao's compound occupies more than 1,000 acres of land in the center of Yongyang, and at a glance, hundreds of villas stand here, surrounded by a wall about three meters high.

The gate is made of more than a dozen stout black iron pillars, which looks magnificent.

There is a large road leading from the gate to the main building in the center, which is a cut higher than the surrounding villas, and must be the residence of the head of the Qiao family.

As soon as Qiao Ling got out of the car, he was shocked, this is the wealth of the big family.

At this time, the sound of dingding sounded, the door was opened from the inside, and a young man in a tuxedo walked out, the man had a handsome face and bowed to Qiao Dehai with a smile, "The second master is back, and the head of the family has been waiting for a long time." ”

After speaking, he turned to Qiao Ling and said, "This is the second miss, welcome back." I'm the housekeeper Qiao Ziwu, just call me Ziwu. ”

Qiao Ling smiled and politely thanked him.

"Here, please, I'll let people drive the car to the garage, please don't worry." Qiao Ziwu made a gesture of invitation and led the way towards the door, Qiao Dehai nodded, and followed with Qiao Ling and Yu Han.

There was already a business car in the door, Qiao Ziwu opened the door, and they really got into the car, and after the three of them got into the car, the car started quickly.

Along the way, there are all kinds of villas with various decorations, and you can vaguely see teenagers and girls practicing in some yards.

The central building looks not far away, but in fact, the driver drove 20 minutes to arrive, and at close range, this house is dozens of meters high, about six floors, and the whole body is built with ginger tiles, which seems to be a little atmospheric. The tiles are shining in the sun, and the servants usually take care of them.

Qiao Ziwu rang the doorbell, and after the door was opened, Qiao Ziwu bowed slightly and motioned for them to enter.

Stepping into the yard, a feeling of relaxation and joy greeted you, with some green plants planted in the yard and a carp pond 2 meters deep next to it.

This Qiao family master is not shallow, and he is used to enjoying it.

"Oh, second brother, I haven't seen you for a long time, come, please come here."

At this time, a middle-aged man walked out of the gate of the villa, the man was a little Mediterranean, wearing a striped T-shirt, tucked into his pants, and his dark belt was tied around his waist, if it weren't for his somewhat similar face to Qiao Dehai, Qiao Ling would have thought that this was an ordinary person on the street.

"Big brother."

Qiao Dehai and Yu Han greeted each other lightly, not as enthusiastic as Qiao Deyu, and Qiao Deyu was not embarrassed, and happily invited them in.

The room is very spacious, with a coffee table in the living room and wooden benches next to it, all in ginger color.

Qiao Ling sat down with his parents, and the maid on the side hurriedly served good tea.

"I heard the second brother introduce the situation of Xiao Ling, Xiao Ling is a healing ability?" Qiao Deyu asked Qiao Ling.

"Yes, uncle."

"Hehe, don't be nervous. Although there are not many healers in this world, they are not scarce, and their biggest disadvantage is that they do not have the ability to fight. If you want to participate in the clan election, in my judgment, the probability of winning is 0%. Qiao Deyu laughed twice, and then took a sip of tea after speaking.

"Big brother, Xiao Ling has just come back!"

Qiao Dehai was a little displeased, his daughter was said like this, and no one was happy.

"It's okay, Dad, what Uncle said is the truth." Qiao Ling didn't know what Qiao Deyu meant by saying these words, did he want her to give up?

"Uncle, you go on."

Qiao Deyu put his right leg on his left leg and said slowly, "There are many geniuses in this generation of the family, and the number of places given by the Four Elephants Academy this time is small, so your competitiveness can be said to be very great." And, your abilities are almost useless, so what do you go for them? ”

Qiao Ling agreed with him, provided that her ability was indeed healing.

"What you say is reasonable, and I can understand that Dabi is not child's play, he is ruthless in the ring, and he may lose his life once he is defeated. But if you don't fight, who knows what the outcome will be? So I have to participate in this internal election! ”

Qiao Deyu frowned, he didn't like disobedient children, but Qiao Ling's parents were still around, and he couldn't say no, after all, it was indeed he who owed his second brother back then.

"That's it, since you've made a choice, it's hard for me to refuse, but for the sake of you being my niece, I'll give you some advice."

"Thank you, uncle."

The three of them left the main house, Qiao Ziwu was already waiting at the door, and when they were about to get into the car, a girl about the same age as Qiao Ling came to meet her, the girl was wearing a training uniform, her long hair was tied up high, and her white forehead seemed to be a little sweaty. Apparently just finished training.

"Miss." Qiao Ziwu bowed slightly.

Qiao Nanqing nodded to Qiao Ziwu, and then said hello to Qiao Dehai and Yu Han, "Second uncle, second aunt." ”

"It's Nanqing, just finished training?" Yu Han said with a smile.

"Yes, today ended a little early, and I heard that my cousin was back, so I hurried back, but fortunately you haven't left yet." Qiao Nanqing smiled and stretched out her right hand to Qiao Ling, "Hello, cousin, I'm Qiao Nanqing." ”

"Hello, cousin, I'm Qiao Ling, just call me Xiaoling."

The two shook hands and smiled at each other.

No one found out that the two had already fought in secret.

Rival!

This thought flashed in the hearts of the two daughters, it seems that this internal selection is not simple!

Seeing Qiao Nanqing enter the main house, Qiao Ling and the three of them also got into the car and drove from Qiao Ziwu to Qiao Dehai's villa in the east.

……

"Dad, I'm back."

"Well, have you seen Qiao Ling? Well, it's far from your opponent. ”

Qiao Nanqing smiled and shook her head, "Wrong." ”

"Oh?"

"That girl is not simple!"
