Capítulo 1558: Chapter 1558: How Could Chu Chengfeng Be a Member of the Mystic Sect?

At this very moment, Mu Xinxin’s eyes sparkled, and with slightly trembling hands, she took the Military Merit Medal. This medal was incredibly significant, a First-Class Falcon Military Merit Medal obtained at the cost of life, stained with his blood.

This Military Merit Medal was far more precious than her Jade Pendant.

“Lu Hao, I will cherish it well for you,” Mu Xinxin solemnly promised.

After speaking, she carefully wrapped the Military Merit Medal in a handkerchief and then placed it in her satchel. She then raised her head and met Lu Hao’s gaze, both of them looking at each other affectionately.

Just then, the voice of Chu Chengfeng shouting echoed from outside the courtyard, “Lu Hao, come help…”

This sound finally woke Lu Hao and Mu Xinxin inside the house; their gazes parted abruptly. Lu Hao reached out to hold Mu Xinxin’s hand but hastily withdrew and then strode out toward the door.

He then took several paper bags and boxes from Chu Chengfeng’s hands, and the two of them headed into the kitchen together.

Gu Qiaoqiao glanced toward the hall and found Mu Xinxin there in a daze, a silly smile on her lips. This girl, who knew what she and Lu Hao talked about to make her so happy.

Lovers indeed are always like this.

Gu Qiaoqiao couldn’t help but sigh.

Since Lu Hao had to return to the army in the afternoon, he would soon be reassigned, not knowing where to. However, with a promotion, a transfer was certain, and the Cavalry Camp was finally set to disband at the end of the month.

Thus, he could no longer help take care of Qiaoze Ranch.

Nonetheless, Gu Qiaoqiao was grateful to him. In this era, good people deserved good rewards, especially soldiers who defended the country like them.

Gu Qiaoqiao couldn’t give him a close-carrying Amulet, but she could channel a thread of righteousness from heaven and earth into the Jade Pendant he wore.

This Jade Pendant was of top-notch Imperial Green, a supreme jade, naturally possessing Spiritual Energy, which indeed could protect one’s safety. However, with Gu Qiaoqiao’s addition, its efficacy increased innumerably.

Gu Qiaoqiao now handled these tasks with ease, doing them with just a flick of her fingers.

After that, everyone began lunch.

Because after lunch, they had to send Lu Hao to the train station.

Chu Chengfeng was a genuine foodie who knew all the delicious spots nearby, so the packed meals he brought back were all very tasty, though some dishes were a bit salty. But those who preferred strong flavors would enjoy them.

Xiao Wen was just such a person, eating with delight.

Gu Qiaoqiao then noticed that the dishes were all Xiao Wen’s favorites, realizing it wasn’t that the dishes were inherently salty, but that Chu Chengfeng had specifically instructed them to be made that way.

Not until the meal was over did Gu Qiaoqiao find an opportunity to probe whether Chu Chengfeng was a member of the Mystic Sect, or what was going on with his internal energy.

Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t worry too much since Chu Chengfeng’s condition seemed beneficial to him and not caused by any evil entity causing trouble inside him.

However, while washing dishes, when Gu Qiaoqiao took a plate from Chu Chengfeng, she inadvertently made contact.

In that instant, Gu Qiaoqiao distinctly felt a rich flow of Spiritual Energy within Chu Chengfeng.

When Gu Qiaoqiao initially sensed this Spiritual Energy, it seemed poised to retaliate but calmed down in the next second, becoming surprisingly docile.

Gu Qiaoqiao was utterly astonished.

How could Chu Chengfeng be a member of the Mystic Sect?

What was going on with the Spiritual Energy inside him?

The next moment, when Gu Qiaoqiao clenched her fist, she felt the Spiritual Energy again. It seemed similar to that within Xiao Wen but not entirely the same, leaving her unable to describe the feeling precisely.

What on earth was going on?

Gu Qiaoqiao was puzzled.

She couldn’t help but think of the Chu Chengfeng from the past life; in the Reincarnation Gate, she didn’t see much, but what she did see was that after having Du Tian buried, he disappeared.

Until Qin Yize’s passing, she never saw any trace of Chu Chengfeng.

Gu Qiaoqiao hadn’t given much thought to Chu Chengfeng’s past, but now she couldn’t help but ponder deeply.

Gu Qiaoqiao kept washing dishes without revealing her thoughts.

After everything was sorted out, Chu Chengfeng took Lu Hao to the station. Mu Xinxin was free in the afternoon, happily helping Sister Li tidy up, while Gu Qiaoqiao and Xiao Wen hailed a cab away from the beef house.

By then, it was already afternoon.

Instead of heading to Yubao Square, the two instructed the driver to go directly to Gu Garden.

At this time, Gu Garden was as tranquil as ever.

Gu Qiaoqiao took Xiao Wen back to her courtyard. Noticing Gu Qiaoqiao’s expression, Xiao Wen asked in surprise, “Qiaoqiao, is something wrong?”

Gu Qiaoqiao nodded and then honestly conveyed her discovery to Xiao Wen.

Stunned, Xiao Wen widened her eyes in disbelief at Gu Qiaoqiao, despite her romantic relationship with Chu Chengfeng and the numerous times they had held hands or kissed passionately.

However, Xiao Wen never noticed anything unusual about Chu Chengfeng.

The only time she felt odd was when Chu Chengfeng quickly found her on Tiger Head Cliff in Jinling City and seemed unaffected by the barrier on her, but she couldn’t find a strange reason afterward and let it go. In hindsight, it seemed everything wasn’t coincidental.

Xiao Wen’s face turned serious for the first time, her mind somewhat confused, having always regarded Chu Chengfeng as an ordinary person.

But now, with Gu Qiaoqiao suggesting that Chu Chengfeng might be a Mystic Sect member, she is indeed bewildered.

Before this, she had even planned not to undergo Nirvana anymore, choosing instead to grow old with Chu Chengfeng, fully prepared for such a future.

Now, lost in thought, Xiao Wen looked dazedly at Gu Qiaoqiao.

Gu Qiaoqiao, unaware of Xiao Wen’s intentions to forego Nirvana, was puzzled by Xiao Wen’s reaction. “Sister Xiao Wen, you should be happy. If Chu Chengfeng is also a Mystic Sect member, Elder Sima wouldn’t oppose you being together.”

“Is that so?”

Xiao Wen muttered.

Gu Qiaoqiao nodded vigorously, “Of course.” After a moment’s thought, she boldly conjectured, “Sister Xiao Wen, I noticed his energy is similar to yours. Could it be that you both belong to the same sect?”

“Really?” Xiao Wen questioned, shocked once again.

“Absolutely. I wouldn’t mistake it, but there’s still some difference. After pondering, I believe it’s because Chu Chengfeng is a man and you’re a woman. The so-called yin and yang energies are naturally different.”
