Chapter 1868: Chapter 1866: Opportunity
Gu Qiaoqiao smiled and said no more.
She considered these things, although it was preparing for a rainy day, it was indeed a bit early.
Moreover, it could easily cause the Old Patriarch to have other ideas.
After eating, Lian Yuhong threw the dishes to her two daughters, and she couldnāt wait to go with Gu Tianfeng to see Xiao Bao and Xiao Bei.
After tidying up the dining table and the kitchen, Gu Qianqian received a call from Luo Fan. The little girl, smiling, went aside to chat with Luo Fan about who knows what, and just at that moment, Gu Junbai and Ling Nan returned from outside.
Years had passed, yet Gu Junbai was still the same as when they first met.
Time hadnāt left any trace on his face. Gu Qiaoqiao thought that when she and Qin Yize grew old, Gu Junbai would probably still look like this. However, by then, he might have already left, after all, staying in one place for such a long time would surely spark suspicion.
This was also why he never stayed too long in one place all these years. He once told her that the Imperial Capital was where he stayed the longest, but he would still go to the ranch tomorrow, as it was relatively quiet and suitable for him to cultivate his mind and spirit.
Moreover, Ling Nanās martial arts were at a crucial stage, and he needed a place to elevate them further.
Though he didnāt know what he could do once he learned it, the talent and heritage were there, and it would be a pity not to learn.
Seeing Gu Qiaoqiao had something to discuss, Gu Junbai took her to their courtyard, and in the study, Gu Qiaoqiao told Gu Junbai about the matter concerning Chang Yalan. Gu Junbaiās brow slightly furrowed, not expecting the world to still have some variables, but fortunately, they were insignificant.
After all, the opponentās power was really too small, but if it involved someone from the Mystic Sect, that would be bad.
Gu Junbai asked solemnly, "Qiaoqiao, howās your progress with the Heaven-reaching Talisman Incantation?"
With a bit of embarrassment, Gu Qiaoqiao scratched her head, chuckled, and said, "Little Uncle, if I had mastered it, I would have come to tell you already."
"So thereās no progress?" Gu Junbai raised an amused eyebrow.
Gu Qiaoqiao nodded, "Yeah, I havenāt made much progress lately. I donāt know why, but Iām stuck at the final step. I just canāt reach that easy and seamless state of unity between heaven and man."
Gu Junbai sighed slightly, "Itās not your fault. Itās naturally hard to learn. Even with my experience and broad mind seeing all the worldly states, I couldnāt reach that realm either."
"Little Uncle, do you think there will be other variables in this world?"
"Are you referring to people suddenly appearing with rebirth or foresight abilities?" Gu Junbai smiled reassuringly at Gu Qiaoqiao, "This myriad world is full of all sorts. Even if in this world, I often say to you that thereās always someone better out there. There are always Special Ability Users with foresight abilities, just that theyāre well hidden. Ordinary people simply donāt know."
This was something Gu Qiaoqiao agreed with.
But still a bit worried, "I just worry, what if some people with ill intentions use these abilities for wrongdoing?"
Gu Junbai gently shook his head, unconcernedly saying, "This is not something you should worry about. Youāre not the master of this world. Even if you were, in the face of the many folk, everyone is equal. Where there is light, there is darkness; where there is justice, thereās malevolent energy. These are complementary, so even the master of the world cannot shape the world exactly as he wants."
"Little Uncle, you mean to let everything take its natural course?"
"Yes, itās your mindset, Qiaoqiao. Your talents surpass mine. Youāve achieved so much in just a few years. You know, it took me many years to reach your level. So if you can master the Heaven-reaching Talisman, our Gu Family could have a complete heritage."
Gu Qiaoqiao thought for a moment and nodded, "Little Uncle, I understand, I will work hard on cultivating my mindset and strive to master it soon."
Gu Junbai smiled, picking up the teacup, sipping lightly, then placing it on the table, pondering for a moment, he warmly said, "Iāll be going to the ranch tomorrow. Xiao Bao and Xiao Bei want to go with me."
"Xiao Bei just told me earlier, but theyāre too young. Going to the ranch would require looking after them, which would trouble you and Ling Nan."
Gu Junbai slow-paced said, "After three days, near Qiaoze Ranch, thereāll be an opportunity, which should be the opportunity for these two kids. If youāre okay with it, Iāll take them."
Gu Qiaoqiao paused, while her heart wanted to ask what kind of opportunity it was, but then thought, since itās an opportunity, it must be untransmittable, and knowing might make it vanish suddenly. After all, the Mystic Sectās matters were quite mystical.
But she was still uneasy, "Little Uncle, how about I go along tomorrow?"
"You donāt need to go, your presence would affect the opportunityās emergence."
He then turned to Gu Qiaoqiao, smiling, and said, "Ling Nan and I are there, and importantly, so are Xiao Bai and the White Wolf. Honestly, these guys are much more attentive than you parents."
Gu Qiaoqiao thought carefully, feeling a bit embarrassed and ashamed because her Little Uncle was right. After the kids weaned, both she and Qin Yize were really busy, spending far less time with them than Xiao Bai and the White Wolf, no wonder the kids were so close to them.
She wasnāt really worried; she just feared troubling her Little Uncle. Now seeing Gu Junbai unbothered, even seeming expectant of the opportunity, she no longer insisted and smiled, "I wonder who will this opportunity favor, among the two kids."
Gu Junbai slightly curved his lips, "Leave it to destiny."
The next morning, Gu Junbai and Ling Nan, along with Xiao Bai and Xiao Bei, left Gu Garden for Qiaoze Ranch. Ling Nan drove, Gu Junbai sat beside him, and in the backseat, two happy little kids with Xiao Bai and the White Wolf guarding them like protectors.
Especially the White Wolf, truly like a dutiful nanny.
Gu Junbaiās lips slightly curled up, considering the factors, Xiao Bao or Xiao Bei would likely be the Gu Familyās third-generation successor.
He had calculated, and this successor would be far stronger than him and Qiaoqiao. As for what achievements they would reach in the future, itās beyond his calculations.
If he could live to see that time, heād love to witness it.
But Gu Qiaoqiao was somewhat worried.
However, her Little Uncle insisted she not follow, suggesting her presence might alter things. Gu Qiaoqiao, of course, dared not take any risks. Her kids were her treasures, any harm to them would be unbearable for her.
