Gu Qiaoqiao’s brows furrowed slightly as she reached out, touched Xiao Bai’s head, and said in a low voice, "This secret room in the apartnt isn’t a long-term solution. What do you think we should do?"
Xiao Bai also understood this reasoning, as it knew the secret room had always been maintained by its master and could last for a year. However, now it had already been six months, and its master didn’t foresee any problems before disappearing, hence there was no enhancent made.
As far as it knew, this secret room could last another six months. After that, it was very likely to be discovered,
people these days are really too greedy and quite clever at the sa ti, so it’s hard to ensure this secret room won’t be discovered by them.
Just like those ancient tombs of princes and ministers, which were buried with lots of treasures; even if discovered, how much of it was truly returned to the state, and not pocketed by those greedy tomb raiders?
Xiao Bai is well aware of this.
Because it had once seen a band of tomb raiders looting a Song Dynasty imperial princess’s tomb, leaving everything plundered to the last item.
Thinking of this, Xiao Bai shook its head.
Because it really didn’t know what to do either.
After a mont of silence, Xiao Bai thought for a bit and then raised its head to look at Gu Qiaoqiao.
It knew in certain aspects it could communicate with Gu Qiaoqiao through spiritual energy, so it mobilized the spiritual energy within itself and began gesturing with its paws.
Magically, Gu Qiaoqiao actually understood, "Xiao Bai, you an to say I should use these things to negotiate and then rescue your master?"
Xiao Bai nodded repeatedly, not expecting the communication to go so smoothly,
Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t intend to admit having t Dongfang Yu, but Xiao Bai clearly sensed sothing from her.
However, rescuing Dongfang Yu was simply unrealistic. She spoke softly, "Xiao Bai, even if I knew where he is, I couldn’t possibly rescue him. You know, I almost died at his hands once. He’s my enemy; how could I possibly rescue my enemy?"
Xiao Bai blinked and pointed at the stuff in the room and then at the luminous pearl on the wall.
Gu Qiaoqiao shook her head, "No, even in exchange for these things, it won’t work because your master is simply not a righteous person."
Xiao Bai began gesturing again, its tail wagging continuously, aning to say Dongfang Yu had already promised not to trouble the Gu Family anymore. For soone like him, his word is his bond because he never makes promises lightly. The master won’t retaliate against you and would actually be grateful to you.
Gu Qiaoqiao shook her head again; her trust in Dongfang Yu was extrely low.
Gu Qiaoqiao pointed to the items in the secret room and sighed, "Xiao Bai, I know, this gold gemstone is valuable, but they are like ti bombs. I won’t let these things disrupt my life."
Xiao Bai’s aning was crystal clear, but Gu Qiaoqiao remained unmoved. Against soone like that, it really had no ans whatsoever.
Xiao Bai drooped its head dejectedly.
Seeing Xiao Bai like this, Gu Qiaoqiao felt sowhat compassionate; the cat is good, but the master is not a good person.
However, they’ve depended on each other for so many years. Their relationship was no longer just a contractual one.
To both of them, it was more like a familial presence.
But Gu Qiaoqiao indeed couldn’t agree to Xiao Bai’s conditions because she couldn’t ensure what crazy actions Dongfang Yu might do once released.
Such a person is safer being confined there.
Gu Qiaoqiao wouldn’t take actions that could potentially affect the safety of others and her own safety like this.
Gu Qiaoqiao stood up, surveyed the secret room, then suddenly extended her hand and started sky-drawing talismans.
She was drawing Barrier Talismans.
One by one, the spirit talismans turned into rays of light, disappearing into the walls with a swoosh.
This ti, Gu Qiaoqiao drew a total of nine talismans, securely isolating the secret room from the mundane world.
Having been together with Dongfang Yu for a long ti, Xiao Bai naturally understood what Gu Qiaoqiao was drawing, and it was indeed the first ti it saw soone performing sky-drawing talisman.
Furthermore, the speed was incredible. Xiao Bai squatted on the ground, its mouth wide open, staring unblinkingly at Gu Qiaoqiao.
After Gu Qiaoqiao finished everything, Xiao Bai got up, ran a circle around the room, realizing the secret room was reinforced again, aning at least for another year, no one would discover this place.
One should know gratitude, whether human or cat.
That’s the most important lesson Xiao Bai learned in this world.
Xiao Bai believed this principle could bring it many benefits.
Though Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t agree to its conditions, she reinforced the secret room with Barrier Talismans, so neither those from the Mystic Sect nor other scoundrels would discover this place.
Xiao Bai ran to Gu Qiaoqiao’s feet and solemnly saluted her. While the sight of a small cat saluting might seem funny, it did have a bit of gravitas.
Gu Qiaoqiao waved her hand dismissively, saying, "I’m also thinking for those who are greedy but lack capability. Well then, Xiao Bai, there’s no problem here now. I’ll take you back to the Gu Garden."
With that, Gu Qiaoqiao walked away.
But in front of Xiao Bai’s eyes, there was still a scene lingering, the scene of Gu Qiaoqiao sky-drawing talismans.
And this scene suddenly triggered a piece of mory in its mind.
Xiao Bai had lived far longer than Dongfang Yu. By a twist of fate, it ford a master-servant contract with Dongfang Yu and then cultivated with him.
Originally, it didn’t want such a relationship, but Dongfang Yu treated it very well, so over ti, it ca to genuinely accept him as its master.
However, before this, it wandered inside and outside of this world, having a period of mory loss.
That was the ti before it ford the contract with Dongfang Yu, and because of the missing mory, its mind would sotis be a muddle, thus making it easy for Dongfang Yu to capture.
But now, it seed to have rembered sothing.
Xiao Bai’s pair of purple eyes stared intently at Gu Qiaoqiao.
Gu Qiaoqiao noticed the lack of movent behind her, turned her head to look at Xiao Bai, and asked, a bit puzzled, "Xiao Bai?"
Xiao Bai still didn’t move, just continued to look at Gu Qiaoqiao, its mind still occupied by the scene of the sky-drawing talisman.
At this very mont, Xiao Bai stood a few steps away from Gu Qiaoqiao. Suddenly, it recalled sothing!
Xiao Bai ran toward a chest.
There was sothing of its own inside there.
