Chapter 248: Chapter 248: Gu Family Ancestor (Extra for Anitaqing) Chapter 248: Chapter 248: Gu Family Ancestor (Extra for Anitaqing) Gu Qiaoqiao released her hand and then picked up a cup of tea, passing it to Gu Qingfeng, whispering, “Please take a sip of water first…”

Gu Qingfeng took the tea, gently sipped it, then placed it on the coffee table, calming his emotions. He did not continue the topic from before.

Instead, he softly asked, “Who knows the secret of your finger?”

Gu Qiaoqiao was startled, frowning as she looked at Gu Qingfeng. Could it be, he has it too?

No, that can’t be right. If he did, there would be no today.

It took Gu Qiaoqiao a long time to say, “What do you mean, is there something else to say about this?”

Gu Qingfeng did not go on to blame Gu Qiaoqiao for keeping secrets. He came to acknowledge his great-granddaughter today, not to make enemies.

He spoke slowly and clearly, “Your grandfather never told you about the Gu Family Ancestor, did he?”

The Gu Family Ancestor?

Gu Qiaoqiao shook her head. “No.”

“Five hundred years ago, there was an exceptionally talented individual from the Gu Family. His fingers were extremely dexterous, naturally imbued with Spiritual Energy. The things he carved with those hands could be traded for an entire city… Later, he traveled the world. Before he left, he bequeathed the Mysterious Dragon Box and the Red Spirit Jade Marrow, then vanished, never to appear again. For five hundred years, none of the Gu Family descendants has been able to open it…”

At this point, Gu Qingfeng looked at Gu Qiaoqiao, “The Mysterious Dragon Box is with you, isn’t it? Do you want the Red Spirit Jade Marrow for the Mysterious Dragon Box?”

Gu Qiaoqiao bit her lip, keeping silent.

Gu Qingfeng sighed with boundless melancholy, “Kunkun has always been researching the secret of the Mysterious Dragon Box, but he has never been able to open it…”

Gu Qiaoqiao thought of that book and finally began to speak up about the truth, “When my grandfather was alive, he didn’t tell us about the existence of the Mysterious Dragon Box. He put the box inside the Organ Box on his desk. I found it after returning home after the Spring Festival…”

Seeing Gu Qiaoqiao’s attitude soften considerably, Gu Qingfeng also relaxed a breath.

How many more days does he have to live?

Before dying, he must arrange everything properly.

“The Mysterious Dragon Box is yours; you can deal with it as you wish. It would be best if you can open it, letting Great Grandfather know the secret from five hundred years ago before he dies, so I can face the ancestors of the Gu Family with some dignity…”

At this moment, Gu Qiaoqiao had lost her earlier fighting spirit, and her words deflated, much like a punctured ball.

Looking at the kind-faced old man, who was enduring patiently for her sake, she couldn’t help feeling a sour bitterness in her heart.

Is this how she returns to the Gu Family?

In the future, when facing Ning Wanru, will there be obstacles?

“Qiaoqiao, let’s leave it at this for now. We will go to Border City, as you mentioned, in three days. The Jade Pocket Watch is the birthday present I made for Great Grandma, it has a mechanism, and those who don’t know can’t open it.”

“But, can your body handle it?”

Gu Qiaoqiao still asked with concern.

The original plan was a week later.

After all, Gu Qingfeng was a veteran of the Itinerant World and had lived a long life; he could regain composure quite quickly in many situations.

He looked at Gu Qiaoqiao, his voice grave, “Even if I have to crawl, I will make it to Border City. Besides, with you, Qiaoqiao, Great Grandfather might live a few more days, right?”

Gu Qiaoqiao truly felt this old man was shamelessly thick-skinned.

She hadn’t acknowledged him yet.

“Old Patriarch…”

“Hmm?” Although Gu Qingfeng had regained his composure, he still did not wish to hear Gu Qiaoqiao call him the Old Patriarch. A frown of displeasure crossed his face as he corrected, “You should call me Great Grandfather…”
