Zhang Yi laughed heartily, "Exorcising demons, slaying monsters—I’ve loved collecting these interesting things all my life. I’ve gathered quite a lot myself, but I still don’t have real peach wood. I’ve always wanted to visit Peach Blossom Valley, but haven’t had the ti. Besides, I’ve heard that without a local guide, you can’t enter Peach Blossom Valley..."
"So you know about Peach Blossom Valley too?"
"Of course I know, let tell you, Qiaoqiao, that’s truly an Imaginary land of joy and plenty. It’s the perfect ti for you to go now. If I weren’t so busy, I’d really want to go with you."
Zhang Yi beca endlessly chatty talking about Peach Blossom Valley.
There was a hint of regret in his voice.
Gu Qiaoqiao smiled and nodded, "Okay, Uncle Zhang, if the locals allow it, I’ll bring you a branch back. But, why did you give this box?"
"To keep the peach wood branch in its most original state, it must be stored in this box."
So that’s how it works.
Xiao Wen curiously took the box, glanced at it, and then looked at Zhang Yi, laughing, "Second Manager really knows a lot..."
"I’ve been around the Old Patriarch since I was a teenager, and throughout my life, I’ve been most exposed to antiques and treasures. If I didn’t know such things, wouldn’t it be laughable?"
Xiao Wen gave Zhang Yi a look, but inwardly, she couldn’t help but admire the Old Patriarch for doing the one right thing in his life by bringing Zhang Yi on board.
If Yubao Square didn’t have Zhang Yi now, many things would be impossible to handle.
It might all fall on Gu Qiaoqiao’s shoulders, which would surely be difficult for Qiaoqiao.
After chatting with Zhang Yi for a few more words, Gu Qiaoqiao took the box and left Yubao Square with Xiao Wen.
The two of them discussed a little and decided to buy so things.
What Ling Nan said was simple, but that child wasn’t very knowledgeable about etiquette. But as their older sisters, they couldn’t go empty-handed.
There are surely many local specialties, so it’s better to buy things that aren’t available there.
The best choice would be candy.
It’s favored by both the elderly and children, plus it’s easy to carry and store.
So, the two went to the departnt store.
The first floor was the candy counter, and so items here were negotiable, with more variety than what’s supplied.
Though the prices were a bit expensive.
Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t mind.
Xiao Wen was even less concerned.
The two enthusiastically picked out candies.
Gu Qiaoqiao’s senses were sharp. She suddenly turned around and indeed found a woman in the distance looking her way.
Upon closer inspection, Gu Qiaoqiao realized it was none other than Liang Yan, whom she had seen yesterday.
Unexpectedly, they t so quickly.
Seeing Gu Qiaoqiao looking her way, Liang Yan gracefully walked toward her after a few seconds.
Gu Qiaoqiao thought for a mont and went forward to et her.
Liang Yan smiled before speaking, "What a coincidence to see you again, Qiaoqiao."
"Sister Yan, it’s you." Gu Qiaoqiao greeted with a smile, "Are you here to buy clothes?"
Gu Qiaoqiao asked while observing the bag in Liang Yan’s hand.
"Yes, I’m buying so clothes for the change of seasons."
"Sister Yan, why don’t we have lunch together?" Gu Qiaoqiao warmly suggested.
This was a rare connection with Master Fong and an old childhood friend, even an ex-fiancée. For so reason, Gu Qiaoqiao really wanted to know what she was currently thinking.
If Liang Yan truly regretted it, would Master Fong let her return to his side?
