Chapter 854: Chapter 854: Pure Fabrication Framing the Gu Family

So these events happened half a century ago, we need to find some elders to investigate thoroughly.

Qin Yize and Gu Qiaoqiao returned to the carving room.

Gu Qiaoqiao opened the Mysterious Dragon Box and took out the Red Spirit Jade Marrow inside.

She pondered for a moment, then asked Qin Yize, who was sitting opposite her reading documents, “Do you think this stone might be the Imperial Jade Spirit?”

Qin Yize raised his eyebrow, “Qiaoqiao, I don’t deny that there are mysterious existences within the Mystic Sect, but as for this talk of the Imperial Jade Spirit, it’s absolutely nothing but hearsay and a false accusation against the Gu Family.”

“Are you saying the Gu Family doesn’t have this so-called Imperial Jade Spirit at all?”

“Even if it does exist, it might just be referring to this ruby in your hand.”

“I don’t think that’s possible.”

“This stone has been with the Old Patriarch for half a century, yet look at what the Old Patriarch has gained?” Qin Yize calmly retorted.

Gu Qiaoqiao’s expression was solemn.

Indeed, if this stone were truly the Imperial Jade Spirit, the Gu Family would have conquered the world by now.

How could it still suffer a broken family, ruined home, and loved ones scattered?

If it weren’t for her rebirth, this life would still see Gu Qingfeng die childless and in melancholy.

Therefore, this Red Spirit Jade Marrow is definitely not the Imperial Jade Spirit; it has no heaven-defying abilities other than opening the Mysterious Dragon Box.

Just like Qin Yize said, the Mystic Sect may contain some mysterious existences, but they are definitely not mainstream.

The Red Spirit Jade Marrow’s most important feature is that it can serve as a medium for Spiritual Energy.

But it’s been so long ago.

These matters may not be so easy to investigate, perhaps those who spread the rumors back then have long since passed away.

It seems like this may just be another case without any headway.

Gu Qiaoqiao sat in front of the office desk, holding the Red Spirit Jade Marrow, now shrunken to the size of her small fist, her clear eyes slightly turned, “If this were to spread, wouldn’t it be detrimental to the Gu Family?”

Qin Yize nodded, “There will always be negative impacts.”

“Then why hasn’t Lin Fanpeng spread this matter?” Gu Qiaoqiao asked, puzzled.

“Because Lin Fanpeng considers it as something in his bag, so he won’t let anyone other than himself covet it.” Qin Yize spoke calmly.

“Then will Lin Fanpeng spread this matter now?” Gu Qiaoqiao asked worriedly.

Qin Yize thought for a moment, shook his head, and said, “Currently, there are two reasons why he wouldn’t spread this. First, he has not yet obtained the Imperial Jade Spirit that he firmly believes in, so he wouldn’t share this news with others.

Second, if he thinks he has no hope of obtaining it and then spreads this news, we will surely track it back to him, he might not dare to take that risk.”

Hearing Qin Yize’s analysis, Gu Qiaoqiao felt relieved.

Then Gu Qiaoqiao sighed.

Qin Yize’s voice carried a hint of laughter, “What’s wrong, Qiaoqiao? Why sigh?”

“Why is living so difficult?” Gu Qiaoqiao said wistfully.

“Life is inherently like this, always one problem mingling with another, and that’s how a complicated life is built.”

“Perhaps some people don’t have to deal with such things.”

“Of course, like the saying goes, happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.” Qin Yize stated calmly yet straightforwardly.
