Chapter 1876: Chapter 1874: Going to Gluttonous Sea Island
Gu Qiaoqiao hurriedly ran over and first checked Xiao Bao, then asked in surprise, "Little Uncle, did you set up a barrier or seal on him?"
Gu Junbai nodded, feeling satisfied, "Youāve made some progress, bring the two of you into the house, I will discuss this matter with you."
As the childās father, Qin Yize naturally had the right to know, and Gu Junbai didnāt intend to hide it from him. At many times, there were things that were not convenient for Gu Qiaoqiao to know, so these two discussed them secretly.
Inside the room with the barrier, after hearing Gu Junbaiās words, Gu Qiaoqiao was also stunned, not expecting such an opportunity.
While surprised, Gu Qiaoqiao felt a pang in her heart. Both she and her husband Qin Yize had extraordinary experiences, and their son had the ability to easily see through their past and future.
Xiao Bao was their son, so they didnāt mind, but if this ability was known by others, it could be terrifying, unlike the spiritual energy she had.
Luckily, Little Uncle had sealed the Eyes of the Stars in time.
Meanwhile, Relative Gu also asked with some concern, "Little Uncle, can that seal last indefinitely?"
If possible, Gu Qiaoqiao wished for her son to lead a plain and ordinary life like a regular person. According to his family background, both he and Xiao Bei could live carefree lives until old age.
This ability was a double-edged sword for him, and it could easily bring danger.
In this world, the Gu Family and the Qin Family werenāt the only formidable ones.
Even in the Imperial Capital, there were other great families.
And they were not any less than the Gu Family and the Qin Family in terms of foundation.
In other cities, there were also top-level families, not to mention that itās said there were some hidden families and mystic sects. Such an ability, if known by those with ulterior motives, could lead to terrifying consequences.
"Qiaoqiao, thatās exactly what Iām going to do. You guys take Xiao Bao and Xiao Bei back and pretend this never happened. Iām taking Xiao Nan to the Gluttonous Sea Island to find something for him."
"Little Uncle, what is it?" Gu Qiaoqiao asked hurriedly.
Gu Junbai paused for a moment, "Itās said that there are Sea Dragon Turtles there that are over three hundred years old. They have a pearl thatās been nurtured by the essence of the sun and moon for years, only such an item can temporarily help Xiao Bao control the power of the Eyes of the Stars."
Upon hearing about the Sea Dragon Turtle being over three hundred years old, Gu Qiaoqiao realized that even with the power of Yubao Square, this item couldnāt be acquired. Moreover, if the Gu Family had it, Little Uncle wouldnāt travel a long distance with Xiao Nan to get it.
Beside her, Qin Yize frowned and said in a deep voice, "Iāve never heard of it either."
"You donāt need to worry; after all, itās just a legend. Although someone has seen it before, that person is long gone now. Xiao Nan and I are just trying our luck, so our return is uncertain. Donāt be too tense, just carry on as usual."
He then added a reminder, "Iāve already set a barrier around this ranch, so donāt come here for the time being."
After saying that, Gu Junbai didnāt delay, as he and Ling Nan had already prepared their belongings. They only carried a simple luggage bag, with the rest stored in his private storage space.
Their visible items were only daily necessities, and they promptly left Qiaoze Ranch from the other direction without hesitation.
It was just after ten in the morning, and Xiao Bao and Xiao Bei were happily playing outside with the White Wolf. They didnāt even think to call for mom and dad, showing how carefree they were at heart.
This time, Gu Junbai didnāt bring Xiao Bai and White Wolf with him. Firstly, they were left to keep the children company, and secondly, to protect them. In certain ways, animalsā agility surpasses that of humans, even if that human is Gu Qiaoqiao.
Gu Qiaoqiao stood at the doorway, watching Xiao Bao and Xiao Bei, who were completely unaware.
Next to her, Qin Yize softly said, "Little Uncle is right, this matter shouldnāt weigh on your heart. Donāt let it change the way you look at the children. Xiao Bao is perceptive and deep-minded, unlike the carefree Xiao Bei."
At this point, Gu Qiaoqiao expressed an opinion, "Why canāt our two kids switch personalities? The little girl is carefree, while the boy is more thoughtful."
"I quite like Xiao Beiās personality. Our little princess should grow up carefree; why stress her with thinking too much? She has her parents and brother, and she should just live happily," Qin Yize said casually.
Gu Qiaoqiao gave him a sideways glance and went to the kitchen to cook.
Meanwhile, Qin Yize strode onto the lawn, taking advantage of rare leisure time to play with the children.
After having lunch and resting for a while, Qin Yize drove the wife, kids, White Wolf, and Xiao Bai back to the Imperial Capital. They didnāt directly go to the Qin Familyās Courtyard but headed to the Qin Family Old Residence instead.
Shen Manru and Qin Xuan returned from their trip, and they had to visit. Plus, they hadnāt seen Grandma Qin for a few days.
Moreover, there were plenty of hazel mushrooms Ling Nan had picked, drying on strings, perfect for making chicken stew.
Knowing Gu Junbai and Ling Nan wouldnāt return quickly, Gu Qiaoqiao had no qualms about generously putting those dozens of strings of mushrooms in the carās trunk.
The same went for the marinated wild mountain chicken and rabbit meat.
That way, each family could have a bit of the mountainās delicacies.
They soon arrived at the Qin Family Old Residence. Although they hadnāt arranged ahead, they knew someone would be home, but didnāt expect to find a familiar stranger in the living room.
Choo Lan.
How strange that Choo Lan was here?
Gu Qiaoqiao and Qin Yize exchanged a glance.
Then Shen Manru introduced with a smile, "Ah Ze, Qiaoqiao, you know Choo Lan, right? I heard you used to work together."
Gu Qiaoqiao smirked and asked, "Mom, do you know her?"
"I didnāt know her before; it was only during this trip that I found out Choo Lan is the daughter of my high school classmate. Thatās how I learned she has a company here in the Imperial Capital," Shen Manru explained.
Gu Qiaoqiaoās clear gaze shifted. Women Shen Manruās age tended to be particularly interested in their high school and college classmates. It was said this trip was a class reunion, so she probably found out there. Was Choo Lanās presence intentional or accidental?
Choo Lan, with a smile, said, "Auntie Shen, who wouldāve thought you and my mom were high school classmates? If Iād known sooner, Iād have visited earlier. You have no idea how, busy with work, I sometimes canāt even get a warm meal in the Imperial Capital. My mom worries for me and even thought of coming here to care for me, but she canāt leave all her work back home. Now itās greatāI can drop by Auntie Shenās place whenever I want to satisfy my cravings."
