My White and Rich Beautiful CEO Wife-Chapter 271 Tiger Leaping Gorge
Bathed, shaved, changed clothes.
Although Qin Yu was a hundred times unwilling to return to Miaojiang with Miao Xian’er, he still went into the bathroom to tidy himself up.
As a man, even if he felt stifled and uncomfortable, he could only keep it bottled up inside.
He tried to face the situation with a calm mindset, after all, it was a fact that he had taken her virginity.
Before leaving, he made a call to Grandpa, saying that he would be away from the East Sea for a while to handle some matters.
He also had a brief chat with his sister before calling a taxi to the airport.
Upon arriving at the departure hall, he spotted Miao Xian’er in the crowd immediately—it was impossible not to notice her, with her head full of intriguingly white hair that was so eye-catching.
Wearing a white dress and knee-high silk stockings, she held three plane tickets in her hand.
She gave off a delicate and adorable impression.
"Qin Yu!"
With a sweet smile and a wave of her hand, Miao Xian’er called out to him.
"Hmm..."
Qin Yu nodded expressionlessly.
"You... still don’t want to go back to Miaojiang with me, do you!"
Miao Xian’er caught the coolness in Qin Yu’s eyes, completely lacking the joy of a couple reuniting.
She couldn’t help but pout, looking a bit aggrieved.
"No!"
Qin Yu shook his head.
At this stage, his own true wishes were not at all important.
Would saying that he didn’t want to go to Miaojiang make Miao Xian’er let him go?
"Oh... once Ghost Granny arrives, we’ll get on the plane, she said she had something to deal with just now!"
Miao Xian’er wasn’t foolish, she knew that Qin Yu didn’t really like her. But now that things had gone too far, the only option was to bring him back to Miaojiang and slowly cultivate affection.
"Okay!"
Qin Yu walked over to a chair and sat down, placing his hands on his knees, his posture rigid and mechanical, like an emotionless robot.
"Lingling..."
At that moment, Miao Xian’er’s phone rang.
After glancing at the caller ID, she answered, "Ghost Granny? What... who are you, and why should I listen to you? Fine, just wait!"
After she hung up, Miao Xian’er’s face had turned utterly cold, "Qin Yu, we’re not going back to Miaojiang for now. Ghost Granny has been kidnapped, we need to rescue her!"
"Who took her?"
Qin Yu asked instinctively. Ghost Granny was a genuine Huajin master; capturing her would not be an easy feat.
"I don’t know, they just told us to go to Tiger Leaping Gorge. You’re from the East Sea, do you know where that is?"
Miao Xian’er asked with a tight frown.
Ghost Granny was more like a senior to her, she couldn’t ignore her plight.
"I know, it’s on the outskirts on the border with Yang City!"
Qin Yu had heard of "Tiger Leaping Gorge"; it was extremely treacherous. Since the construction of the highway, very few people ventured there—it was probably similar to a primeval forest.
"Then lead the way, we’re going to Tiger Leaping Gorge right now. I want to see who dares to snatch a tiger’s teeth!"
Miao Xian’er narrowed her eyes and ripped the three plane tickets to shreds.
"Okay!"
Qin Yu stood up, opened the phone map, and after searching for a while, located Tiger Leaping Gorge. He and Miao Xian’er left the airport and got into a taxi, directing it towards the location on the map.

"Hey, buddy, that place is a bit off the beaten path, what are you doing there?"
The taxi driver looked back at Qin Yu and Miao Xian’er and asked.
"We’re backpackers, we like adventure!"
Qin Yu said indifferently.
"Oh, I heard there are wild boars and poisonous snakes, be careful!"
The driver kindly reminded them before starting the taxi.
After an entire hour, a continuous range of majestic mountains finally appeared before Qin Yu’s eyes.
Now the country places great emphasis on environmental protection, with practically no logging or mining, so the mountains have become greener and greener over the years, presenting a majestic and spectacular view.
Two of the mountains were particularly eye-catching, as if a sharp sword had split them down the middle, very steep, with not a hint of green in sight.
However, two rock formations extended out, resembling bridges.
Thus, the name Tiger Leaping Gorge came to be.
"Buddy, I can only take you this far, the road up there is too bad, you need a four-wheel-drive off-road vehicle to get up!"
The taxi driver drove for another ten minutes or so and parked at the foot of the mountain as he said this.
"Alright, thank you."
After Qin Yu scanned the QR code and paid the fare, he pushed open the car door and stepped out.
The muddy ground underfoot had fresh tire tracks, clearly left by those who drove an off-road vehicle to capture Ghost Granny.
Judging by the look of it, there were still about two or three kilometers to Tiger Leaping Gorge from here, a walk of just half an hour.
"Let’s go!"
Qin Yu glanced at Miao Xian’er, and the two of them started walking along the uneven dirt road.
"I didn’t expect that there was such a force in East Sea, capable of capturing Ghost Granny!"
Miao Xian’er muttered.
"It’s not necessarily a local power from East Sea, it could also be an organization from outside!"
Qin Yu analyzed.
He had been Yan Mingyu’s bodyguard for over half a year now, and he had basically come into contact with all the top forces in East Sea—none of which had the capability of capturing a Huajin master.
If there had been such a force, the big families in East Sea would probably have been annexed by now, rather than existing in a tripartite stand-off as they were now.
"Who is it then, daring to oppose us?"
Miao Xian’er asked with a frown.
"That I’m not sure of!"
Qin Yu also found it strange—who on earth was so bold as to provoke Miao Xian’er, who wasn’t very powerful herself, but had a father who was the Gu King?
"Who cares, when we see them, we’ll make sure they taste the might of our Miaojiang Gu poison!"
Miao Xian’er clenched her little fists and said angrily.
She had been raised spoiled from childhood and would never have set foot on this rough mountain path if Ghost Granny hadn’t been captured—her calves were already sore.
She threw occasional glances at Qin Yu, and several times she wanted to ask him to carry her, but seeing his expressionless face, she reluctantly swallowed back the words she nearly spoke.
Moments later.
A Jeep Wrangler appeared before the two of them.
The car door was open, and a driver inside was smoking a cigarette.
Further ahead was a narrow path a few dozen centimeters wide, stretching all the way to the edge of a cliff.
One could faintly make out a few figures standing there.
Apart from Ghost Granny, the other three figures were all in black robes, their faces shrouded in a layer of mist, making them indiscernible.

Miao Xian’er seemed to recognize the others.
"Who?"
Qin Yu asked.
"The Xiangxi Corpse-Driving Clan, who have always been at odds with us—only they would wear such inconspicuous outfits even in broad daylight!"
Miao Xian’er pouted, but a touch of wariness filled her eyes.
"Corpse-Driving Clan?"
Qin Yu had heard of them before: the Gu poison of Miaojiang, the corpse-drivers of Xiangxi, and the Daoists of Qingcheng Mountain were all mysterious and powerful entities in Hua Country.
"Be careful later on, their poison may not be as good as ours, but their close-range attacks are very formidable!"
Miao Xian’er whispered.
"OK!"
Qin Yu had pent-up frustration with nowhere to vent. Since this so-called Corpse-Driving Clan was coming forward, he would give them a good beating.
