Youyou: Do you know her?
Jiang Qiao thought for a moment and typed out two words: Pure passerby
At that moment, Qingque's eyes instantly sharpened.
Well, it turns out it was a fake!
How could the venerable Ephesian, with her meticulous nature, be so 'mischievous'?
This must be someone I know trying to scare me.
After realizing this, Que'er began to investigate the mole among her acquaintances—if she was caught, she would be dragged to Jinren Alley and given a good beating.
Thinking of the doubled workload she had incurred as a result, a spark of fire appeared in the clear, jade-like green eyes of the girl in blue.
Playing cards with your life: What a coincidence, wanna play cards?
Although she didn't know the other person's name, Qingque still used an affectionate nickname from Jiang Qiao's group chat, all to lure this scoundrel out—after all, trying to catch the mole by just thinking with her head was too much trouble, right? By getting this kid out, Qingque could both catch the bad guy and take the opportunity to slack off, wouldn't that be wonderful? Hehe, who knows, she might even be able to squeeze a hefty sum out of him later.
Thinking of this, Qingque revealed a hint of smugness—because of the old lady Taibu, she hadn't been to Jinren Lane for quite some time now.
Jiang Qiao, upon seeing this message, was somewhat speechless.
Traveling across the world once costs a travel ticket, which is worth ten cents.
While I do enjoy mahjong, asking me to pay for it myself... well, I've been a bit busy lately, let's talk about it later.
Ever since——
Jiang Qiao: No, thank you.
This brought Qingque, who was still lost in her fantasies, back to reality. She looked at the message with a pained expression.
Damn it, come on! Why aren't you coming?!
Where am I supposed to vent my frustration about the extra workload I'm getting from not coming here?
Undeterred, Qingque could only begin to relentlessly pester him.
Playing cards recklessly: Oh dear, work can wait, we're one short, we need one more, you know?!
Que'er immediately unleashed her trump card—do you understand the allure of being one short?
Anyway, she was certain that the guy with the ID Jiang Qiao was someone she knew, and as for Qing Que's acquaintances... she had already dragged them all into the [Di Yuan Qiong Yu] trap, so this time, Qing Que had the upper hand!
Unfortunately, Mr. Jiang is completely unyielding.
No, no, I'm not going!
Isn't it nice to sleep with the fairy Ellie in my arms?
Playing cards recklessly: Okay then, shall we meet up next time?
This line of text caught the eye of Alicia, who was in paradise and taking the opportunity to peek into the chat group during her spare time.
She was initially a bit down—she had intended to approach 'Sai-niang' with a talk about music, but after she struck up a conversation, Sakura's personality did indeed make the chubby girl very happy. However, when Sakura used this as an excuse to ask, "What music are you listening to? Can I hear it?"—a move that was actually meant to bring them closer—Alicia regretted it.
She was about to say, "Wow, that sounds so nice! What a coincidence, I love this kind of music too!"
As a result, the music in Sakura's headphones... made Alicia dizzy and completely dumbfounded.
—Ah...you like this type?
Although she really wanted to continue according to the plan against her will, the fat lady, who couldn't bring herself to say she liked that kind of eerie music, reluctantly gave up the idea of making friends through music.
Then, I took a quick look at the chat group.
You wouldn't believe it until you look; what immediately catches your eye is—
— Shall we meet up sometime?
Ps:

Chapter 168 The Theory of Fairy Raising
You wicked Jiang Qiao! You actually flirted with other girls behind Ai Li's back?
Want to hang out? Want to hang out? Things are moving pretty fast!
Upon seeing Qingque's group chat message, the fat lady's anger flared up instantly—"Aili is at Paradise... cough cough, she's studying here! Just like Kiana and the others! She's not the same as that wicked Jiang Qiao who flirts with strange girls!"
As Alicia scrolled through the chat history, her cheeks gradually 'puffed up'—four people short of one? Well, one wasn't enough, so he was planning to have a multiplayer session? Just how many girls had that bastard been hooking up with behind her back?
Alicia: Hmm~ What are you planning to ask out?
The fat lady cut straight to the point—she was ready to make an arrest on the spot.
Neither of the two bad guys, Jiang Qiao and this guy with the ID "Playing with Cards to Death," are going to escape!
Of course, Que'er was unaware of the wicked intentions of the fat lady. She glanced at the group chat and looked at the unfamiliar ID with some confusion.
To be honest, most of the people in this group... no, I should say everyone is a complete stranger. Even the one nicknamed Jiang Qiao hasn't figured out the other person's identity yet, only through deduction. Of course—this doesn't stop Que'er from promoting her favorite thing:
"Imperial Jade Palace~ I guarantee you'll be hooked from the first time you play it, and you won't be able to stop!"
It should be noted that all of her card-playing friends were dragged into the trap one by one by Qingque.
Bringing in one more person means you'll have one more card-playing buddy in the future, right?
When it comes to slacking off, it's more fun to do it with more people, and sometimes you can even share the risks—I'm so smart!
However, Alicia clearly did not know the unfamiliar term 'Imperial Jade'.
However, this did not prevent her from scrutinizing Sparrow's 'wild and insolent words'.
Could it be—some kind of code? Miss Fat immediately interpreted it as a scene from a TV program she had happened to watch in the past.
To avoid being exposed, philandering cats in movies and TV shows often use this method to 'play cards'.
Thinking of this, Alicia was greatly shocked. Although her cheeks flushed slightly, her puffed-out cheeks seemed to grow even larger—what are you trying to do by telling Alicia this? Are you showing off?! Or are you just bullying Alicia because I don't understand!
Youyou: What is the Imperial Jade?
Walnut: Curious.jpg
Apricot: Peeping.jpg
Unfortunately, the members of this small chat group are all the playful type. As soon as they hear something interesting, they all have to come and help out!
Playing cards to the death: Hey...you guys don't know? Oh, it's alright, you must know about Immortal Boat Luofu, right? The so-called Imperial Jade Palace is just a kind of card game for entertainment.
Although she was annoyed that she hadn't dragged out the kid who had doubled her workload, when she saw that none of the members in this strange little group knew what Di Yuan Qiong Yu was, Que'er immediately started to explain and try to recommend it.
After all, happiness shared with others is worse than happiness alone!
This explanation made Miss Fatty realize instantly that she had misunderstood the previous group messages. This made Alicia a little embarrassed, but she breathed a sigh of relief when she thought that no one should have noticed.
but...
Imperial Jade?
It sounds like something really fun... Hmm... Ellie, I definitely don't think this way just because I might meet or play with cute girls!
While the fat lady was smitten, Jiang Qiao from the previous civilization lay in bed, her fair arms visible through her pink gauze nightgown. She looked at Que'er, who was enthusiastically promoting the Imperial Jade in the chat group, and a hint of helplessness appeared on her delicate face.
He had some doubts about whether Qingque would turn the chat group into a card-playing group—just thinking about the scene of Qingque pulling others to a table... the image was too beautiful to imagine.
but...
Upon seeing Que'er, Jiang remembered that the chat group that had been left aside actually still had fun items for sale in the form of 'scratch cards'.
He glanced at his points. The points he gained from daily check-ins in the chat group, plus the points from the previous mission against the Herrscher of the Wind... minus the -20 from the two travel scrolls, Jiang's points were already 121.
Intrigued, Jiang immediately decided to be extravagant, keeping twenty points for later use and placing ten scratch cards.
I vividly remember winning a bunch of junk last time; the only decent item was the Mother's Drowned Spring—unfortunately, I never really got to use it...
Jiang Qiao casually scratched off the scratch card.
