At this mont, Ling Nan and Xiao Wen were nowhere to be found. After asking the Old Clan Leader, they learned that these two wouldn’t return until alti, truly letting themselves go. Gu Qiaoqiao shook her head with amusent.
Upon hearing Gu Qiaoqiao’s voice, Gu Muran had already welcod her with joy.
He didn’t know what Gu Qiaoqiao and the others were doing, but he knew Xiao Wen and Ling Nan had returned first. There were so things he should ask about, and so he shouldn’t, but he was still worried in his heart.
Seeing Gu Qiaoqiao return safely, he finally felt a sense of relief.
Then he saw the imposing young man standing next to Gu Qiaoqiao. He knew that this must be Qiaoqiao’s husband, Qin Yize, whom Xiao Wen ntioned. He didn’t expect his sister to be married at such a young age.
Married to soone who is often away.
This silly girl, doesn’t she know marrying such a person can make life tough?
But just from their appearance, these two truly look well-matched.
Yet, why does this man seem so imposing? Even though he’s restraining it, his aura is still strong. Just standing there, he exudes a natural authority.
Perhaps this is the temperant cultivated by years of leading troops.
Actually, by this ti, the icy aura emanating from Qin Yize had diminished significantly.
Seeing Gu Muran in a daze, Gu Qiaoqiao smiled and introduced them, "Ah Ze, this is the child from Great Grandfather’s brother’s family I ntioned to you, who is to be called Elder Brother by age."
Then she looked at Gu Muran, "Elder Brother, this is my husband, Qin Yize."
Despite being of similar age, Qin Yize slightly curled his lips and spoke in a deep voice, "Elder Brother."
Gu Muran was stunned for a mont. He didn’t expect this young man of similar age to truly call him Elder Brother. He wasn’t a fool and imdiately bead with joy, though he felt it might undermine his authority as an elder brother. He coughed lightly, "Oh, so you’re Qin Yize. I’ve heard a lot about you."
Gu Qiaoqiao couldn’t help but laugh at Gu Muran’s serious deanor.
As expected, Xiao Wen and Ling Nan returned when it was ti to eat.
They were inford of Qin Yize and Gu Qiaoqiao’s arrival in the valley when they entered the village.
Even though she knew that with Qin Yize, Gu Qiaoqiao wouldn’t be in danger, Xiao Wen still had so worries in her heart.
Now seeing Gu Qiaoqiao returned safely, she felt relieved, storming into the Clan Leader’s house like a gust of wind.
It had only been a week since they’d last seen each other.
Gu Qiaoqiao noticed Xiao Wen seed tanned. When she ntioned this change to Xiao Wen, Xiao Wen was startled, realizing she hadn’t looked in a mirror in the last couple of days and had indeed gotten tanned, which wasn’t a good sign.
She playfully punched Ling Nan beside her, "It’s all your fault. I got this tanned, and you didn’t even warn ."
Ling Nan scratched his head in surprise, murmuring, "Sister Xiao Wen, I think you look the sa as before."
"You..." Xiao Wen choked with frustration.
Gu Qiaoqiao chuckled softly.
It’s nice to be with family.
In the afternoon, Gu Qiaoqiao quietly pulled Xiao Wen aside and showed her the stone.
Xiao Wen took the stone, examined it carefully, and Gu Qiaoqiao, observing Xiao Wen’s expression, confird that Xiao Wen seed unaware of it.
As expected, Xiao Wen shook her head and whispered, "I’ve never seen a stone like this, nor heard anything about it."
Gu Qiaoqiao retrieved the stone.
At that ti, both of them were sitting in the room they stayed in at Ling Nan’s house.
Xiao Wen furrowed her brow, searching her mind diligently but couldn’t find any information about the stone.
Xiao Wen looked at Gu Qiaoqiao, "Qiaoqiao, I really don’t know the origins of this stone, and I’ve never heard anyone ntion it. Our Phoenix Clan’s legends also don’t have any information about it."
Gu Qiaoqiao was a bit disappointed.
Before she could speak, Xiao Wen continued, "Since it’s sothing left by the Gu Family Ancestor, similar to the Mysterious Dragon Box, it certainly has value..."
At this point, Xiao Wen’s eyes widened in excitent, "Qiaoqiao, put this stone into the Mysterious Dragon Box."
Gu Qiaoqiao’s eyes lit up, yes, what would happen if this stone was placed into the Mysterious Dragon Box?
How could she have forgotten this crucial idea?
Wasn’t the Mysterious Dragon Box also left by the Gu Family Ancestor?
The bag was right at Gu Qiaoqiao’s bedside. She quickly opened her backpack, took out the Mysterious Dragon Box, and carefully placed the stone inside.
When they placed the stone in, both instinctively held their breath, keeping their eyes glued to the stone inside the Mysterious Dragon Box. At that mont, the stone seed like a peeled egg, sowhat resembling the fabled Luminous Pearl.
At that mont, it seed even their hearts stopped.
Monts later, they both felt a bit disappointed.
As nothing changed.
The Mysterious Dragon Box remained the sa, and so did the stone.
Perhaps these two objects have no connection whatsoever.
Could it be?
Gu Qiaoqiao reached out to retrieve the stone but was stunned in the next mont.
She couldn’t move it.
At this mont, the stone seed glued to the Mysterious Dragon Box.
Gu Qiaoqiao tried harder, her face turning slightly red, but the stone remained immovable, firmly adhering to the bottom of the Mysterious Dragon Box.
Xiao Wen also found it strange, reaching out to help Gu Qiaoqiao pry the stone from the Mysterious Dragon Box, but it didn’t work. The stone was stuck at the bottom, motionless.
Initially, they thought of calling Ling Nan, but Gu Qiaoqiao reconsidered and decided against it.
Because neither the stone nor the Mysterious Dragon Box was coated with glue, and they weren’t magnets.
Principally, these two objects couldn’t possibly stick together, yet they were firmly attached now.
This phenonon was inexplicable, even if Ling Nan ca, he couldn’t move it.
At this point, Gu Qiaoqiao noticed that the luminous sphere floating above seed larger than usual. At this mont, it was hovering just above the stone, gently enveloping it with its glow.
It’s hard to describe the feeling.
It was as if, a long ti ago, this stone and the box were once together.
Gu Qiaoqiao shook her head.
She cast aside this notion from her mind.
She infused her fingers with spiritual energy again; this ti, her strength was almost equivalent to Xiao Nan’s usual strength, but unfortunately, she still couldn’t take the stone out of the Mysterious Dragon Box; Gu Qiaoqiao completely gave up.
Moreover, when she placed her fingers on the stone, the aura there seed unusually pleasing.
Even though the inside of the stone was the sa as she felt the past few days, unchanged.
