Gu Qiaoqiao no longer attempts anything meaningless; after all, itâs something of the Gu Family, and the truth will be revealed someday.
She just has to keep it safe.
Thinking of this, Gu Qiaoqiao felt relieved.
She placed the lid on the Mysterious Dragon Box, then put it back in her backpack, saying to Xiao Wen beside her, "Ask Uncle when you have time if he knows what the Gu Family Ancestor has been doing all these years?"
Xiao Wen nodded, "I sent a letter to my dad a while ago, he should have received it by now."
"Did you invite Uncle to the Imperial Capital to play?" Gu Qiaoqiao asked with concern.
Xiao Wen laughed, "I certainly did invite him, but my dad is quite peculiar. He says when the time is right, things will come naturally, no need for invitations. But I left him our Gu Gardenâs phone number, if there is anything, he will call, and when he does, Iâll ask him about it."
Gu Qiaoqiao nodded.
Xiao Wen continued, "But Iâll write another letter to ask when I go back."
Her dadâs temperament is different from other old men, he trusts her a lot, unless something significant happens, he wonât call her.
Gu Qiaoqiao glanced at the Mysterious Dragon Box in her backpack, its state was just like usual.
But if you truly observe carefully, this Mysterious Dragon Box has undergone some changes.
It seems to be full of vibrant life.
Perhaps this change is brought by that stone, Gu Qiaoqiao thought to herself, anyway, itâs something of the Gu Family Ancestor, itâs only beneficial, never harmful, to the Gu Family.
She just needs to collect it with peace of mind.
Just like Master Nan Shan said, when the time is right, everything that should come will come, and at this moment, Gu Qiaoqiao actually has a bit of anticipation in her heart.
She is very eager to meet the Gu Family Ancestor.
Because now it can be confirmed, the person she saw in the Reincarnation Gate was indeed the Gu Family Ancestor, even after almost ten years, the Gu Family Ancestor is still alive.
This means that the current Gu Family Ancestor must be alive, only not known in which corner of the world he resides.
And the attire of the Gu Family Ancestor she saw in the Reincarnation Gate was quite simple, but he had hair.
Clearly at that time, he wasnât a part of the Buddhist sect.
Then, is he the Hui that Master Nan Shan spoke of?
If not, then who exactly is he?
And who exactly is Hui?
What is the relationship between the Mysterious Dragon Box and that spinning black hole in the Reincarnation Gate?
Gu Qiaoqiao stopped thinking about it, she felt her head aching, some things will naturally unfold, there will be a way when the car reaches the hill.
She zipped up the backpack, placed it on the bedside, paused for a moment, and turned to Xiao Wen, "Sister Xiao Wen, letâs set off tomorrow."
The time spent out wasnât too long, but also not short, the key is Qin Yizeâs vacation is limited.
Moreover, upon returning he has to first report to work, and there are many other matters...
Their time in Peach Blossom Valley shouldnât be wasted too much, otherwise, his vacation wonât be enough.
Xiao Wen nodded, "Thatâs fine, weâve pretty much seen everything here, and the things are packed, we can leave tomorrow."
She then stood up, looked at Gu Qiaoqiao, "Youâve definitely been on the road continuously these few days, take a good rest, Iâll go tell Muran and Xiao Nan."
After hearing Xiao Wenâs words, Gu Qiaoqiao indeed felt somewhat tired.
Though the journey wasnât rushed, she didnât want to waste too much time, so there wasnât much rest on the way.
Without Xiao Wenâs reminder, she wouldnât have felt it, but now, sitting on this soft bed, drowsiness quietly crept in.
Gu Qiaoqiao tilted her body and lay on the bed, sighing comfortably, "Then you go tell those two, Iâll have a good rest."
Meanwhile, Ling Nan is excitedly showing Qin Yize around Peach Blossom Valley.
Qin Yizeâs mental state is evidently very good, touring with Ling Nan all afternoon, theyâve pretty much covered the whole place, then spotted Xiao Wen looking for them.
As for setting off tomorrow, both naturally have no objections.
Besides, Qin Yize indeed has many things to handle, though he has a vacation, itâs not ample, and who knows when his vacation might suddenly end, so he has to seize the time to do what he should.
And Gu Muran, knowing theyâre leaving tomorrow, is quite happy, by this time he has taught Xiao Mutou all the elementary school textbooks.
Originally he planned to teach Xiao Mutou the junior high curriculum, but Gu Muran felt it might be a bit too fast.
Though Xiao Mutou is very smart, building a solid foundation is the most important.
Therefore, after discussing with the Old Clan Leader, they decided to enroll him in school this September, start from first grade, and after half a year, he can skip to the graduation class, and after staying in the graduation class for another year, he can graduate from elementary school.
Actually, for Xiao Mutou, he could entirely start directly from first year junior high, but Gu Muran thinks sometimes growing up too quickly might not be good for a child.
After all, what he studied at university was this, and Gu Muran knows the principle of astuteness leading to harm, so he hopes Xiao Mutou can enjoy his childhood but not waste his talent, thus spending two years in elementary school is actually the most suitable for him.
And the Old Clan Leader is most grateful to Gu Muran.
He has given Gu Muran many herbs with years of maturity, and Gu Muran couldnât refuse, so he accepted them.
In the evening, Gu Qiaoqiao walked towards the village center.
Because she remembered the task Zhang Yi entrusted her with, though itâs a bit challenging.
Even though she is now familiar with the Old Clan Leader, given the current situation where the old peach tree is being well-protected, it seems quite impossible for her to pick a leaf.
Let alone taking a branch.
But Gu Qiaoqiao still wants to try her luck.
At this moment, there are many people around the old peach tree chatting and enjoying the cool breeze...
Gu Qiaoqiao and Xiao Wen walked over leisurely.
Xiao Wen knew what Gu Qiaoqiao intended to do, but she advised softly, "Qiaoqiao, I advise you not to have any ideas, let Zhang Yi get what he wants himself, donât trouble yourself."
Gu Qiaoqiao smiled, "Itâs okay, Iâm just here to have a look, I wonât break off any branches."
Gu Qiaoqiao strolled under the old peach tree.
Five steps away from the trunk, it was already fenced off by the Old Clan Leader with wooden railings, Gu Qiaoqiao stood just outside the railings, with the towering canopy of the old peach tree overhead.
At this moment, this canopy seemed like a giant green umbrella, shading people dozens of steps around in its coolness.
The atmosphere here is especially comfortable, no wonder villagers like to enjoy the cool breeze here.
Gu Qiaoqiao looked up, thinking, the branches of this old peach tree are lush and sturdy, seems thereâs no hope for anything today.
