The Old Clan Leader thought for a mont and seriously said to the young man, "For now, you shouldn’t leave. Tomorrow, take us to that so-called Chinese Herbal dicine Store. I want to see which demons and devils are at work..."
The young man hesitated for a bit, slowly nodded, then looked at Gu Qiaoqiao, opened his mouth as if wanting to say thank you, but felt that it was hard to start with this matter. He vaguely felt that saying too much might bring trouble to this sister.
Gu Qiaoqiao pretended to be surprised as she looked at this young man, "After all this talk, I also want to ask you, is your surna really Gu?"
The young man hurriedly nodded, "Yes, yes, my surna is Gu. One cannot write two ’Gu’ characters with a single stroke. Our family was one 500 years ago..."
"What’s your na?" Gu Qiaoqiao asked.
"My na is Gu Muran. It’s the ’Mu’ from ’admire’ and the ’Ran’ from ’gradually rising’."
"Your ho is in Jinling City?"
"Yes, yes, right in Jinling City."
"What a coincidence, I have a relative living in Jinling City too." Gu Qiaoqiao said with a cheerful smile.
Gu Muran’s eyes suddenly widened, then seed to ignite, lighting up instantly. He asked with a pleasant surprise, "You have a relative in Jinling City? Tell quickly, I might even know this person."
In this lonely foreign land, encountering a familiar person considerably increased his sense of safety.
Gu Qiaoqiao smiled faintly and said leisurely, "I actually don’t know their na, but I know he’s the brother of the Old Patriarch of the Imperial Capital’s Imperial Treasure Chest. They reportedly have a gemstone store also nad Yubao Square in Jinling City. You should know about it, right?"
Gu Muran’s gaping mouth could fit an egg.
How could such a coincidental thing happen in the world?
This sister is actually a relative of his family, and quite close too.
Hence, Gu Muran’s confidence suddenly soared. He jumped up from the stone in a rush. His leg might have been hurt, as he winced from the pain, but his face still bead with joyful excitent, "The family you ntioned is indeed mine! My Great Grandfather’s brother is the Old Patriarch of the Imperial Capital’s Imperial Treasure Chest, and my Great Grandfather is the Old Patriarch’s younger brother."
Joy surfaced in Gu Qiaoqiao’s eyes, validating the suspicions in her heart, making her also quite happy. Unexpectedly, through a fortunate twist, she encountered the family of her Great Grandfather’s younger brother and coincidentally saved his life. It seed like fate indeed had a say.
Why else would she suddenly decide to co here?
Moreover, choosing just this ti—one day early or late, she wouldn’t have t him.
Gu Qiaoqiao asked happily, "How old are you this year?"
"I’m twenty-two. How about you?"
"I’m twenty. My na is Gu Qiaoqiao, and my grandfather is Gu Kun."
"I know, I know! The Old Patriarch only has one nephew." Gu Muran said excitedly.
Then, feeling a bit embarrassed, he continued, "I even called you sister, but really, you are the younger sister..."
Despite this, his voice no longer carried the despondency or helplessness from before. Gu Qiaoqiao looked at him amusingly, her heart quietly settling down.
Last night, before sleep, Xiao Wen had heard Gu Qiaoqiao briefly ntion this incident, so she showed no surprise. On the other hand, Ling Nan widened his eyes in astonishnt.
Then, he also heard clearly what was happening.
Ling Nan, being straightforward, reacted directly when faced with things. Seeing the person Gu Qiaoqiao saved turned out to be her relative, he also felt relieved.
