Qin Yize took the plan, carefully read it once, and added a few more notes. After Gu Qiaoqiao looked at it, she expressed her satisfaction, and then Gu Qiaoqiao put the plan away.
In fact, Gu Qiaoqiao should have delivered this plan to Jinling City now.
However, going to Jinling City would take several days round trip.
By the time she returned, Qin Yizeâs vacation would be over, so sheâd wait until Qin Yize returned to the base, so she could stay in Jinling City for a while.
Qin Yize agreed readily.
By the time Qin Yize sent Qiaoqiao back, it was already past eight in the evening, but at that time, everyone was in the living room watching TV.
Contrary to his usual practice, Qin Yize did not go to Gu Garden. Instead, after reluctantly saying goodbye to Gu Qiaoqiao at the door, he told her that he had matters to attend to the next day, so she was free to do as she pleased.
The night was deep, the moonlight like water.
The Green Pine at the entrance appeared even taller and straighter in the moonlight.
And Qin Yizeâs figure gradually disappeared at the end of the alley.
Then came the sound of a jeep starting, gradually disappearing into the distance.
Gu Qiaoqiao stood at the door for a while, then turned and walked towards her own courtyard.
The courtyard lights were on.
Gu Qiaoqiao assumed it was her sister Qianqian and Xiao Yu.
Unexpectedly, it was Xiao Wen waiting for her.
After returning for a few days, both had been busy with their own things.
Today was truly the first time they had a proper meeting,
Gu Qiaoqiao walked over to Xiao Wen, who was sitting by the electric fan, and asked with a smile, "Sister Xiao Wen, have you finished your work?"
Xiao Wen nodded, "Yes, Iâve sent another letter to my father through other means, but it will take some time to get a response."
The Red Phoenix in her hand was truly too precious, so precious it was almost burning, and Xiao Wen wanted her father to hand it over to the Phoenix Clan as soon as possible.
Gu Qiaoqiao suddenly remembered something, "Sister Xiao Wen, is your Red Phoenix still in your room?"
"Yes, itâs still there." Talking about the Red Phoenix, Xiao Wen seemed a bit troubled.
"Give it to me, Iâll put it in the Treasure Room for you, where the spiritual energy is abundant and beneficial for the restoration of the Red Phoenixâs spiritual energy."
Xiao Wen didnât immediately agree but frowned and said worriedly, "The Red Phoenix and the Gu Familyâs items are two completely different spiritual artifacts. Iâm worried placing it there might affect the Gu Familyâs items, or the Gu Familyâs treasures might affect the Red Phoenix."
Gu Qiaoqiao laughed, "Sister Xiao Wen, donât worry, the spiritual energy of these two treasures wonât conflict."
Xiao Wenâs eyes lit up, "Really?"
"Yeah, why would I lie to you?" Gu Qiaoqiao said with a hint of displeasure in her eyes.
Xiao Wen didnât take her seriously and laughed joyfully, "Thatâs great, letâs go and put it away now."
These days Xiao Wen had also been busy with her own things, having almost no interaction with Gu Qiaoqiao.
So upon returning, she left the Red Phoenix in her own courtyard.
But such a valuable item, even though in Gu Garden there shouldnât be any issue, she still felt a bit uneasy.
Now that Gu Qiaoqiao proposed this suggestion, and after knowing the two kinds of spiritual energy wouldnât clash, Xiao Wen was naturally overjoyed.
Thus, Xiao Wen took Gu Qiaoqiao to her room.
Xiao Wen wouldnât go into the Gu Familyâs Treasure Room.
After handing the Red Phoenix in her hand to Gu Qiaoqiao, she went to the doorway.
There are rules within the Mystic Sect as well.
And their Phoenix Clan and the Gu Family Ancestor had mutually agreed beforehand that even though they were as close as family, some rules shouldnât be broken.
So for Xiao Wenâs behavior, Gu Qiaoqiao didnât insist. She held the Red Phoenix and entered the Treasure Room, taking the opportunity to see what the stone inside the Mysterious Dragon Box looked like now.
As Gu Qiaoqiao had expected, the spiritual energy emitted by the Red Phoenix and the spiritual energy in the Treasure Room didnât conflict at all, instead, they merged harmoniously.
Gu Qiaoqiao placed the Red Phoenix on a wooden rack, distanced from other gemstones. Although they didnât conflict, a bit of distance was still good to avoid interference with each other, then she went to the place where the Mysterious Dragon Box was kept.
Gu Qiaoqiao opened the Mysterious Dragon Box and carefully looked inside and saw not much change from a few days ago.
Gu Qiaoqiao slowly reached out her hand and placed it over the Red Lotus Flower, carefully sensing...
She was delighted to find that the spiritual energy here seemed to indeed be nourishing the White Jade Stone in the ruby lotus.
At this moment, Gu Qiaoqiao couldnât describe her feelings, but it was a state that could be sensed but not expressed in words.
Gu Qiaoqiao withdrew her hand, then carefully placed the Mysterious Dragon Box back in its place, glanced around the room, and walked towards the door.
After restoring the Treasure Room to its original state, the two walked towards Gu Qiaoqiaoâs courtyard, and as they walked, Xiao Wen said, "Qiaoqiao, I know where Dongfang Yu is being held."
"Where is he being held?"
Gu Qiaoqiao asked in surprise.
"In the laboratory hosted by Nie Luan in Archive Room No.1."
Gu Qiaoqiao was startled; this was exactly what she had initially guessed. Nie Luan wanted to take Dongfang Yu to a secret place, and besides his own Archive Room No.1, there was no other suitable place.
By this time, the two had entered Gu Qiaoqiaoâs courtyard. Xiao Wen sat on the sofa, wiping sweat and letting the fan blow on her.
She was different from Gu Qiaoqiao.
Due to her constitution, she was particularly sensitive to heat.
Gu Qiaoqiao took a soda and placed it on the coffee table, then asked in surprise, "How do you know?"
Even that spirit cat Xiao Bai hadnât found its ownerâs place, how did Xiao Wen discover it?
"Sect Leader Nie found me and told me about this."
Sect Leader Nie was Nie Luanâs grandfather.
"Why would he tell you this?" Gu Qiaoqiao asked suspiciously.
Logically, this was confidential information, and Sect Leader Nie shouldnât reveal it casually.
What did that old man want?
Xiao Wen didnât immediately answer but stood up from the sofa, paced a few circles in the room, then looked at Gu Qiaoqiao and said in a low voice, "I think Sect Leader Nie is surely reminding us that what Nie Luan is doing violates the laws of survival."
"What did he do to Dongfang Yu?"
A bad thought rose in Gu Qiaoqiaoâs mind.
"Qiaoqiao, I think you should go and see for yourself."
"Now?"
Xiao Wen nodded, "Yes, now. You donât have time during the day, and itâs also inconvenient during the day."
At this moment, Xiao Wen was looking rather serious.
Gu Qiaoqiao roughly guessed what Nie Luan would do to Dongfang Yu, but without seeing it herself, she couldnât fully paint the picture in her mind.
So Gu Qiaoqiao didnât hesitate anymore and drew two invisibility talismans in the air, which turned into a beam of light hitting the two of them, and a few breaths later, their bodies gradually faded in the room.
